Ida gave birth to a new born baby on the day of her wedding anniversary, but her happiness didn't last for long, cause the nurse informed her that her baby died. Before she could break down in tears, her husband and her sister appeared and claimed they killed the child, what's worse, her husband told her the only sex she thinks they had was with another man and not him. He declared heartlessly to her that he had never loved her and that it was her sister that he loved. On that same spot, he threw the divorce paper to her and forced her to sign. Five years later, a cute little boy held onto her leg clingingly and was demanding her to be his mum, since she has less than twelve months left to live according to the doctor, she thought she could spend that time with this adorable kid. Could she be connected to the boy in some twist of fate? What will happen when she got contracted to be a nominal wife to the little boy's father so she can be able to take care of the boy? Unbeknownst to her that the little boy's father, Ben Don was her CEO, at the same time, the anonymous and mysterious richest man in the continent.
View MoreIda was so tired cause she had just finished delivering her baby at the labor room. Carrying her baby for the past nine months hasn't been easy for her. While catching her breath on the bed, she sighted one of the nurses that helped her deliver her baby and she asked elatedly," is my baby a male or female?"
"The baby is dead," the nurse declared casually as if it was nothing. Ida's heart felt as if fire was being poured on it. She felt an excruciating pain that she almost couldn't breath anymore.
"What did you say?" She thought she didn't hear what the nurse said clearly.
"Your baby is dead," the nurse declared and walked out. As she threw her two legs to the floor and sat upright, trying to grasp the shocking and devastating words of the nurse, the door opened and her husband walked in alongside her sister.
Tears poured freely down her face as she beheld her husband, she said pitifully," the nurse said my baby is dead, it can't be true...it can't be true!"
Her husband, Olga frowned and his expression showed less concern to her predicament.
"Olga, what's wrong? Why are you not saying anything? Please tell me my baby is not dead."
"Should I be concerned that a bastard died?" Olga asked with a displeased look on his face. This was the first time her husband would be speaking so cruelly to her.
Their marriage clocks one year today and although he had only made love with her once, she still adored him and he of course, showed her love too. She can't understand why he was suddenly acting weird on a day like this.
"Bastard? Are you calling our baby a bastard?" Ida assumed that her husband couldn't be speaking to her that way.
"Big sister, your baby is truly a bastard. I guess Olga hide it from you but the he wasn't the one you had sex with nine months ago," Janie, her younger sister said.
"That can't be true," Ida stood, what she was hearing was too much for her to handle.
"It's true. I never had sex with you. That night, it was a stranger you had sex with not me," Olga responded.
Ida's mind suddenly trailed back to that night, Janie had invited her over to their parent's house and asked that they celebrate her new promotion at her workplace, Ida went there innocently and drank but she didn't expect that her drink would be so spiked that she lost consciousness in no time.
When she woke, she saw her husband in the room dressing up but she realized that she was naked, she blushed that night thinking that it was her husband who made love with her. Actually, that was her first time and she was happy that it was her dear husband who eventually took her virginity.
Although her husband's attitude changed towards her since then, and she asked him about the reasons behind his cold attitude towards her for a long time but he wouldn't speak up.
Was it really true that the person she had sex with that night wasn't her husband?
Thinking about the possibility of what Janie said, her heart felt like it was been stabbed with a thousand knives, she felt terribly heartbroken. Was the drink on that night spiked up? Was she set up to sleep with someone else? She couldn't really tell.
"And you hide this from me all this months?" Ida asked Olga.
"What's the point telling you? You won't abort the baby anyways so it's better for the baby to be delivered before we..."
"Wait! What?" Ida ran to him and held him by the collar of his shirt," did you kill my child? Did you?" Ida felt her world collapsing.
"What did you expect him to do? Don't you know he will be ridiculed by our family if they find out his wife gave birth to a bastard?" With what Janie just said, Ida confirmed that her husband really killed her child.
She shook her husband aggressively and she cried, "how dare you? You wicked man! How dare you kill my child?" Her voice was so loud that people outside of the ward could hear but no one dared to interrupt as Olga was one of the powerful men in the country.
Olga's face became even sterner, he removed her hand from his shirt and pushed her to the bed, he dipped his hand inside Janie's bag and brought out a paper from it.
"I have never really loved you, Ida. I'm sorry, sign this," he stretched the letter to her. Ida felt like she was literally sinking into a bottomless abysss when she collected the letter and saw that it was a divorce letter.
A painful laughter fell off her mouth instinctively and she looked at Olga, the man she had loved since she was a teenager, her heart was hurting like it was being set of fire...the pain was so unbearable.
"Is this a joke?" She asked," If it's a prank, it's too expensive." Ida even thought that she may be dreaming.
"Sister, wake up, this is not a joke nor a prank, Olga has truly never loved you. It's me that he loves," Janie said and leaned on Olga's shoulder.
Ida furrowed her brow, infact, her eyes almost fall off, she pinched herself to be sure all these was real. Her husband killed her child, presented her a divorce letter and already fell in love with her sister? She buried her head in her palm and screamed like she was going crazy.
She raised her head up and looked at Olga, she placed her hand on his cheek with tears streaming down her face," Olga, tell me this is a joke and I'll believe you."
"Janie and I have an important meeting to attend and it's almost time. Sign the divorce papers quick," he said aloofly. There was no emotion at all in his face.
The seriousness of the situation dawned on Ida, she withdrew her palm from his cheek slowly and not only was she bleeding from her eyes, even her heart was bleeding and tearing apart.
Ida looked at the divorce papers that she had placed on the bed.
Janie immediately dipped her hand inside her bag and handed over the pen to Ida," big sister, here is a pen, sign it quick. Olga and I really need to leave quick."
Seeing her sister happy with her predicament even hurt her more. If her husband can kill her child? Then it's insane to remain in marriage with him.
She collected the pen from her sister and squatted before the bed, with a shivering hand, she scribbled her signature on it.
A beam of happiness flashed across Janie's face, she immediately collected the signed divorce paper from Ida and kept it in her bag, "let's leave hubby," Janie said to Olga.
Ida watched brokenheartly as her 'now ex husband' walked away with her sister.
It was dark and Ida was getting irritated by the sound of beep that kept on repeating itself on sequence. Due to this beep, she was forced to open her eyes and when she did, she turned around and realized it was the monitor.She looked around the room and realized that it was an hospital and wondered how she got herself here. Suddenly, a wave of headache hit her and she remembered what had happened. She had tried to get a sit, when she began to feel dizzy.The door opened and a much familiar face stepped inside with a white gown and a handbook in his hand. Ida gasped when she realized who was standing before her."Hello Ida. First of all I want to say I am sorry for allowing you pass through that stuff you did. I had one of the maid sedate your drink and that was the only way we could capture you""Capture? Did you say capture?" Ida asked confused."Ofcourse. I needed to keep you alive as a bait for i know my brother would find you and I would get to the next phase of my plan just whe
"Listen here Wayne, I don't want to see your misreable and ugly face again. If I ever do, I would put a bullet through your head" Wayne stood up and pulled a gun, pointed at Ben. The entire soldeirs who had beaten up Anthony aimed their own guns at Wayne. Ben smiled, while signalling for them to drop the gun."You still haven't changed Wayne and I have to admit, it is very much of a pity that the good boy Wayne I once know to be my twin brother is my greatest enemy" Ben finished off and was about leaving, when he said;"Oh and one more thing, the gun is empty. You should know that for every step you take, I am miles ahead of you" Wayne pulled the trigger but was shocked to discover that indeed the bullets were no where to be found.**Ida was camped at her apartment, when she began to here nosies outside. Surprised about the rare commotion, she stepped out and gasped, seeing her mother throwing tantrums at the soldiers who stood on her way and prevented her from entering."Mother? Wha
Ida prayed to whatever sort of deity existed in the higher heavens that somehow, she would be free from this situation she was in. One of the men had already pulled off his clothings alongside his short and was advancing towards her with lust filled eyes. "Please, don't do this, I am not the type of person you could do this type of stuffs to. There are lots of hoes out there, you can make use of any" She understood that she was only but bluffing, as none of her words, seemed to move any of the men.Suddenly, the door burst open and battalions of soldiers entered the room with armed gun on their hands and a stern face also. Ida sighed in relief as she was familiar with these soldiers and for the first time in quite a while, she was glad that they all came for her."You buffons really don't have any shame" The head of the soldiers declared as he looked disgusted by their presence. "You all really want to have sex with just one woman and you think that's the greatest achievement?" None
Ben returned his hand bank slowly and said, "you make me feel like I want to rape you."She shook her head and said, "I know it's not rape, if it's rape, you won't bother asking me for my consent ""The fact that you are crying already speaks that it's not what you want to do." He said and then helped her to stand from his lap then made her sit beside him.Ida sat beside him but was facing him while he was facing her too, "I can get rid of your ex husband.""Get rid? Whay did you mean by that?""Give me the go ahead and you won't hear about his existence ever again," he said this with a mixed emotions, the emotions his face was emitting was difficult to read.Ida was a bit scared with how powerful he spoke, "Olga already knows your name. I think he has made some research about you. I don't want to be the reason why two adults will start fighting each other.""I don 't fight with people cause technically, no one is worth fighting with me. I wipe out the existence of people from the sur
She turned fearfully thinking that Olga had caught up with her but her mouth formed an 'O' shape when she saw Ben.He was also drenched in rain, he had removed his coat and covered her with it."Come with me," he said and began to lead her towards where his buggatti Veyron was.When he saw that she couldn't walk faster as a result of the heavy downpour of the rain, he asked, "Can I carry you to the car?"Ida hesitated before she nominated, he carried her and walked quickly to the backseat of the car. He opened the door and placed her inside. Then he went to the driver's side, got in, glanced at the house that Ida had stepped out from once more before starting the ignition of the car and driving away.Once he parked at the underground garage of her house, he stepped down and quickly went to open the door for her, he then carried her inside, straight to the bedroom."You can warm yourself up, I'll be waiting for you at the sitting room," he said and walked out.A few minutes later, Ida
Ida realized that the drug she uses daily to sustain her health is almost finishing and sincerely, the pharmicist shop where she can get those type of drug is very far to the central city so it's not like she can branch to the pharmacist shop when coming from work.Since she wasn't tired at all, she decided to get the drug once and for all. She can't afford to toy with her health.She was almost tempted to go with the car that Ben had given to her but she refused to. For the sake of her pride, she walked through the quiet road of the estates until she was out after which she took a cab to the pharmacist shop .From the main estate gate to the pharmacist shop was about one hour and twelve minutes . It was really a long journey considering the fact that she took a cab there.On getting there, she walked inside the pharmacist shop and got the drugs. While holding the box that contained her drugs, she walked out but suddenly sighted a familiar figure walking towards her.When the person g
Ida went for the PTA meeting of Beau and when she was done, Beau who was with his bodyguards ran to her and hugged her so dearly. Ida carried him by her shoulder and with a bright smile, she asked," hope you aren't bored?""No, I'm fine. Thank you for attending my PTA meeting," the little one was grateful.As Ida took few steps away in order to leave with him, Beau immediately spoke, "remember I told you about my friend, yesterday?""Harry?""Yes, will you like to meet him, his parents also came," Beau said and Ida nod."Why not? I'll like to meet this friend of yours who looks identical like you ," Ida said and walked towards where Beau directed her to.On getting there,they saw a little boy seated calmly, the boy looked so handsome just like Beau.When the boy saw Ida and Beau, he raised his cute face up at them and smiled, "hey Beau, is this your mummy?""Yes, she's my mummy. Where is your mummy?" Beau asked, still on Ida's shoulder."She will be here soon," the little boy responde
"I can't do anything about it. Come with me," he said and turned."And you want me to leave him?" Ida asked."He's my son afterall, leave him and come with me?""No, sir." Ida said obstinately.He turned fully to her and said, "why are you disobeying me? I told you to come with me and you are refusing?""In life, we don't get all we want. See my refusal to follow you as one of things you wish to happen but didn't happen," Ida said.Ben frowned, "are you being sarcastic.""Make the little boy stop crying, please. He would soon have headache," all these while, Beau was still crying hard."If his mother is here, she can never allow her son to be crying this way. I know you are strict and all that but even to your own son? Let me tell you something, a son needs a mother and a father because there are some kind of love he can only get from the father and there are some kind of love his mother can only provide to him. I assure you that if his mother is here, she wouldn't watch her son cryin
The CEO's proxy raised his face up and asked for a microphone so everyone can hear what he has to say, once the microphone was given to him, he said, "everyone's preference is different, I hope you understand this. As for your song, I don't like it."Janie felt like a cold water was poured on her, the microphone even fell from her hand without knowing. She wanted to fall to the ground and sob."Please move on to the next activity," he said to Alta.Alta immediately walked to the stage and moved on to the next activity. Janie's mood became deflated all through. One could see the look of sadness on her face but no one cares. Everyone just kept having fun.After the celebration was over, the CEO's proxy glanced at Ida before walking out of the hall."Thanks for coming, sir," Alta said as she walked quickly behind him."You are welcome," as soon as he finished saying this, ten bodyguards from different angles appeared and lead him away.Alta had wanted to see if she can at least get his m
