RODRI'S POV.I sat in my office buried in reading and signing of paperworks when my secretary rang my landline. "Sir the event planner you asked for is here already," her voice rang at the end of the line."Okay let the person in," I responded.I had asked that she help me get an event planner, I was planning a big surprise engagement for Vanessa, yes I wanted to cuff her.Since the other day at the hospital when we confirmed that it was her interaction with Mom that made her react, I felt a certain assurance that she was the one for me. Apparently she likened my mother to a rose waiting patiently to bloom in her book.The event planner walked in and to my surprise it was a man, I had always thought women did a better job at planning events because they had a thing for gatherings."Good afternoon sir." He greeted, as he came into the office."Good afternoon have a seat," I said pointing to one of the seats in Front Of my table."Thank you," he said while taking a seat."So, I have a

RODRI'S POV.After a long day at work, I finally packed up and headed out of the building to my car, I had intentionally worked extra hours to slim down the possibility of bumping into Vanessa when I got home.As I approached my car I felt like I was being followed from behind so I stood in front of my car door and watched as a male figure approached me from the reflection on my window shield, seeing that he had gotten pretty close I turned to face him outrightly."Who are you?" I asked sharply."Hey don't get all worked up man," said the strange man."I don't have all the time on earth, so get straight to the point and tell me who you are.""Ooh, I see time is money huh and they say you have a lot of it," he said with a grin"Be clear with your words.""You say you don't have time but I know you've got a ton load of money." he said "I'll take that as a compliment, now if you'll excuse me I need to be on my way," I said and made to open my car door but he immediately stopped me by pl

RODRI'S POV.I watched as she slowly drifted to sleep, she was as beautiful as ever, even though she had added a bit of weight. I wondered how she managed to keep her skin glowing and flawless. I had heard about how pregnant women got so many blemishes on their faces as a result of their pregnancy, but the same couldn't be said about Vanessa.After a few moments of watching her sleep, I also drifted off to to a peaceful sleep.Rudely awakened by a rather loud notification tone from Vanessa's phone. I quickly shot up and grabbed the phone, lowering the volume, so it wouldn't wake her up, luckily she seemed to be quite deep in her sleep as she didn't even move.I sighed in relief then her phone buzzed again, a message popped up and it was from her mother, and it said; "thank you honey I sent the money to him already, let's hope this would be the last time, I'm sorry I had to drag you into this."I began to wonder what her mother was talking about, who was the "him", and what were they p

RODRI'S POV.It was a hectic day, especially with the business expansion going on in Taiwan. I sat back in my chair trying to review the expenses the company had incured, all looked normal to me, although I hadn't looked into it deeply like I would like to.I glanced at my wristwatch and it was almost 4 o' clock already, I had a zoom meeting to attend by 5 o' clock, I was torn between the idea of going home for the meeting or waiting behind at the office to attend the meeting.Vanessa had been bugging me for some time and it was because of my late home coming, I smiled at the thought she was starting to behave like a wife.I couldn't tell if it was her pregnancy hormones kicking in or the fact that she was about to become a mother but I was utterly grateful to whatever it was.The blaring of the landline on my table abruptly interupted my thoughts and jolted me back to reality."Boss there's a man causing a scene outside," my secretary said on the other end of the phone."What? Come

Vanessa’s POVI felt a bit elated when Rodri’s phone started ringing and better when he excused himself to take the call, even though I was not supposed to. I was dying to tell him the truth and at the same time, fighting it, because of what it might result to.And it was becoming harder by the day, because whenever I tried to talk about it, something always came up to stop me. But I was more than ready to go against all odds, because it would be worse if he heard it from Trinity.Rodri Darnell deserved better. He deserved an honest woman who wasn’t deceiving him with a bastard child. I wish he didn’t change the way he was to me when I first came. I wish he was still cold and cruel, bringing home different women. I wish his father hadn’t accepted me and showered me with unconditional love."Are you alright, Vanessa?" Rodri's voice cut through my thoughts, drawing my attention towards him. I nodded slightly, struggling to pry my mind off what was going on within me and focus on the man
