Two months later...
"Sis!!!" "Gosh!! Not again! Must he always come here??'' Christopher groaned. Earning a laugh from Rose. "Don't laugh at me. He is so lucky he is your brother." He added as Daniel came into view. "What's up, sis, and brother-in-law..." Daniel greeted and sat opposite Rose and Christopher. "What are you doing here? Don't you have a house? You come here almost every day." Christopher sighed deeply before saying. "I came here to see my sister, and of course my cute niece. Do you have a problem with that?" Daniel rolled his eyes and said. "Go and get your own wife. Leave my wife alone. You come here every time and ruin our time alone. Stop it!" Christopher threw him a look and said. "Say whatever you want. I don't care." Daniel said and crossed his arms over his chest. "Get..." "You both behave like babies all the time." Rose finally cut in with a laugh. "Bro, do you find joy in pissing my husband off?" She asked Daniel who had a smug smile on his face. "You should be asking your husband that question. He doesn't even wish to see me here. Is that good?" Daniel asked. "You come here almost every day. It's like you do it to make him angry." Rose said with a smile. "Fine... It's okay. I came here today for a couple of reasons." Daniel replied. His expression turned serious. "Dad's company. You also have a share in it. So, we need you to be there when we make decisions." "I don't want any part of that money. Cindy needs it more. You both can do whatever you like. Besides, I have more than enough already." Rose immediately rejected him. "Okay. I knew you would say that but, I and Cindy already decided. We put 30 percent of all his assets into your name." Daniel said with a lazy smile. Rose was about to say something else when Christopher held onto her hand and stopped her. "Take it. It's your right. Besides, your siblings decided you should have it. Don't reject it." "But..." "No buts sis. There is more than enough for all of us. The other reason why I am here is to also..." He was saying but stopped when Blessing passed by. Rose and Christopher followed his line of sight and saw that he was staring at Blessing. After the incident with the poisoning, they had brought Blessing back. She now stays with them and doesn't go like before again. Christopher and Rose looked at each other and smiled. "Why is it that you all just want to take the people around me away?" Rose asked with a shake of her head. Uzo was around Ada all day and it seems like those two were already hitting it off. Now, her brother is now interested in Blessing. "Sis, I'll be right back. We can discuss everything else later. Okay?" Daniel said and rushed after Blessing. Rose and Christopher were left alone again and Rose couldn't help but smile. Things are better now. She had made peace with her mother even tho they weren't as close as they were supposed to be. Cindy had worked on herself tirelessly and she even signed an advertisement contract that demands both she and Princess to work together. Roseleanedd into Christopher's arms and whispered. "I feel like all of these are a dream. I hope I don't wake up and realise that all of these is a dream." "This is the life that you deserve my love. A life filled with happiness and surrounded by people who love you. " Christopher said and placed a kiss on her forehead. Eight months later... It's Christmas and everybody is gathered on an island where Christopher took them for the holidays. Christopher sat with Uzo and Daniel while the women were sitting together and discussing. Rose was heavily pregnant. She found out about her pregnancy when it was already two months old. Now, she is expected to give birth at any moment. Rose's mother and Mrs. Rita had taken it upon themselves to take care of her diet and that had never slacked for a moment. Blessing and Daniel had fixed a date for their wedding and it's on Rose's birthday. They believed that by then, she would have given birth and be able to attend. "What's wrong with you?" Rose's mother asked Rose when she saw her acting like she was in pain. "I don't know but... Ahh!!!" She screamed in pain. "It's the baby. The baby is about to be born." Mrs. Rita said. "Come..." She didn't get to finish when Christopher rushed to them and carried Rose off the ground. "Get the car and call the hospital. Tell them to get ready." He said and Uzo and Daniel got to work. "Two hours later.... They had all been waiting outside the labour room for more than an hour and still the doctors were not coming out. Christopher stood up all of a sudden and walked towards the tightly closed door and was about to kick it open when the door opened. The attending doctor walked out with a smile and two nurses followed behind. Every other person rushed to the doctor. "How is my wife? Is she okay?" Christopher asked. "The mother and babies are fine. " "Where is she?" Christopher asked but saw Rose being pushed out. She was awake and smiling when she saw Christophe and everybody who was waiting. "My love... Are you okay?... Did it hurt?" Christopher rushed to her and held her hand making the caregivers who were pushing her bed to stop. "Am fine. I have never felt much better." Rose answered with a smile with tears running down her face. "Why are you crying?" Christopher asje worriedly and cleaned the years off her face with his hands. "Have you seen our babies?" "The baby can wait... I need to make sure you're fine. I can see the baby later." "I didn't say,y baby. I said, babies... Go and take a look" Rose said with a smile and tried to push him towards the nurses who had come out with the doctor. The others stood behind him as they watched with smiles on their faces. Christopher was frozen to the spot. They had not checked what gender the baby was. They wanted it to be a surprise. "You have given birth to twins?" Christopher asked with shock. "Yes. Twins." She replied. Mrs. Rita walked forward while holding onto a baby and Rose's mother was holding the other. "A boy, and a girl." She added. "I am finally a big sister," Princess said happily. THE END.Two months later..."Sis!!!""Gosh!! Not again! Must he always come here??'' Christopher groaned. Earning a laugh from Rose. "Don't laugh at me. He is so lucky he is your brother." He added as Daniel came into view. "What's up, sis, and brother-in-law..." Daniel greeted and sat opposite Rose and Christopher."What are you doing here? Don't you have a house? You come here almost every day." Christopher sighed deeply before saying."I came here to see my sister, and of course my cute niece. Do you have a problem with that?"

After two days, Rose was discharged from the hospital. During that period, Princess did not attend school. Christopher wanted to settle things fully before allowing her out of his sight. With the help of Rose's brother, they were able to find out a lot of shady things that Cindy's father had been involved in. Rose's father happens to be none other than Mr. Coker. Cindy's father. After thorough investigations, it was found out to be true. They managed to conduct a secret DNA test and it was found out to be true. Christopher and Rose discussed at length and decided it's high time their fathers pay for all their crimes. Christopher took it upon himself to unite Rose and her mother. Her brother was a constant headache to him. They would always argue over anything that had to do with Rose. Uzo was always enjoying their fights. He had seen someone who would stand up to Christopher without backing down and that was something he would always laugh about. After spending two weeks
When Christopher got into the room where Ene was, she was sleeping. "Wake her up!" He ordered the doctor who had followed him in. "Yes sir!" He was about to go rouse her awake when Uzo stopped him. "Not like that!" He picked up a bucket of ice-cold water that someone had knowingly brought over and poured it over the sleeping Ene. The coldness jolted her awake and when she saw Christopher sitting on a chair in front of her, she began to cry. "I knew you would come for me. I knew you wouldn't let them do anything to me. You love me... Don't you??" She asked between sobs. Christopher, Uzo, and every other person on the lookout looked at her like she was mad. "What the hell is the mad woman ranting?" Uzo asked with a from after a few seconds of surprise. "Shut up your stupid mouth.!!! Don't worry... I will make you pay when Christopher makes me the madam. Just wait and watch!" She replied Uzo threatenly. "So, you poisoned my wife because you think I love you?"
Some hours later... Rose was left alone in the hospital room with Christopher. Princess had been taken home by Mrs. Rita and Ada. Uzo also went along with them. "What do I do? What do you think I should do?" She asked Christopher with a hint of worry and sadness in her voice. "Don't think about it yet my love. You don't have to make a decision yet. Just give yourself sometime to digest it. I know you will eventually come to the right decision." Christopher said while holding onto her hands. "I can't help it. I just can't help it. All my life... I thought she had died or something. I used to tell myself that she probably died and that's why she had never come looking for me. And now?" Rose said with a shake of her head and in a shaky voice. "Hey, it's all going to be fine. You don't need to make a decision yet. And if you don't want to see her, you just have to say the words And i will make them leave. You have me, our daughter, and others who care about you. Okay..." Christopher s
Almost everyone in the room had shock written on their faces except Christopher and Uzo. They just watched calmly. None of them expected such a reaction from the person who was always very quiet. "You all should stop looking at me like that. She deserves to die!! She ruined everything. She took everything that was supposed to be mine.!!" Ene shouted angrily. Blessing who had already eaten a spoon of the poisoned food started to panic. "Please... Someone should save me!!! I ate the food! Please!!!" She shouted."Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you. That food is fine. There is nothing in it." Uzo answered her. When he was going back home, he stopped by a restaurant and bought the exact food that Rose was eating before she started reacting. The first thing he did when he got to Christopher's house was to rush into the kitchen making sure that the maids didn't see him. He took the food he bought and hid the one that was at home.Blessing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that
"Why are you crying? It doesn't suit you. You look ugly with tears on your face.!" Rose who had just woken up said with a smile on her face. When Christopher heard her voice, he was shocked and relieved. He raised his head and looked at her. She was smiling tiredly at him. "Thank God you are awake. What would I have done if you had died?" He asked with a smile while tears of relief were still running down his cheeks."Hey, stop it. Who is dying? Me? I still have many years to spend on this earth. I haven't seen Princess grow up and I still haven't given birth to twins neither have I given birth to a boy!! It would take more than a little stomach pain to kill me.!" Rose said to assure him and she was serious about it. She wasn't planning to die when she had not even enjoyed her marriage. "Yes, that's true. You still have a lot of things to do. A lot of things so none of us can die now. I love you, Rose! I love you so much. It's my fault for not being cautious enough! I should hav
