Maitta's sleep was disturbed as she kept inhaling smoke wondering sleepily where it was coming from until she opened her eyes and let out a scream when she saw the fire licking at her door. Her room was already so filled with smoke that she could hardly breathe so she took her robe and covered her nose with it and called out to Trisha tearfully. "Mommy!". She didn't want to get up from her bed. "Mommy!". She screamed. It was like a very horrible nightmare that she couldn't wake up from. She got out of bed when she saw that Trisha wasn't answering or banging on her door and ran to her window. She drew back the curtains and opened the shutters and was grateful for the breeze that was blowing in until she heard her bedroom door give way to the intense heat of the fire and fall to the carpeted floor then she really got to see how unsafe she was in the house from the fire raging in the hallway. "Daddy." She sobbed. "Daddy please save me." She couldn't climb out of her window because it

"Jesse." Bella called. Jesse looked up at Bella in surprise. He'd not told anyone else except his mother and sister about Maitta's accident so he guessed that his mother must have called Aviva. "How's she?." Bella asked joining him on the sofa. "I don't know yet." He replied. "Gwen told me what happened." Bella said. "She didn't mean to do it." Jesse scoffed and said nothing. "She's not someone like that. You raised her." Bella reminded him. "Yes." He agreed. "But I didn't expect her to be so heartless that she'd hurt her own sister. I saw her smiling Bella." "Jesse... She's just a little girl." "Which is why I'm not raving mad right now." He said. "Everything will be fine." Bella told him. "You shouldn't have come. You need to be resting." He chided. "I'm pregnant, not an invalid." She said. Jesse chuckled and took her hand in his. "I'm glad you're here." He told her. "Family of Maitta Deacon?". The doctor approached them. "Yes. We're her parents." Jesse stood up. "

Jesse opened the door to Bella's hospital room and poked his head in to see if she was awake and found her sleeping so he walked in and closed the door. He walked up to her bed and took a seat on the chair in front of her bed and just watched her sleep with a smile on his face. She looked even more beautiful than she was yesterday and he guessed it probably was because she was a new mom and… "You're staring." Bella said. Jesse blinked. "You're awake?". She opened her eyes and turned her head to look at him and frowned when she saw his red eyes. "Have you been crying?". She asked. "Uh... Well, not really." He shook his head. "I got to see the babies and uh... I couldn't help myself." "They're okay?". She asked. "Very okay." He replied. "We have three boys and a girl." "Three boys? Oh well." She smiled.

She’s not feeling well.” He said. “So you’ll lock the door abi? I was not born yesterday Jesse.” He informed him. “Today is January 31, surely you would have been paid since twenty fifth.”That was true but he’d used part of the money to buy drugs for his little girl – expensive drugs for her heart condition because without it, she was as goo

Aviva Arroyo frowned as she listened to her ex husband brush off her concerns over their daughter’s failed relationships. She knew Vincenzo Arroyo loved his first daughter Isabella very much and didn’t want to see her hurt but he had his other children to worry about too and Izzy was the only one she had and besides a man’s love for his child couldn’t be compared to a mother’s love.Her beautiful strong daughter had just been dumped by another man – the third fiance in four years and her girl was devastated.“She’s refused to see anyone.” Vincenzo replied when Aviva asked him if he’d gone to see her. “Her assistant told me she’s been holed up in her room for days.”“What she needs is a new environment. I’ve been pleading with her to come pay me a visit but she changes the subject every time.” Aviva huffed. “She’ll like it here in Nigeria.”“I never did so how could she possibly like it there?”. Vincenzo drawled.“The last time you came here was two decades ago Vince. Everything’s chan

“Good morning Ma’am.” Employees greeted Isabella left and right as she walked to her office.“Morning.” She replied with a smile on her face as if nothing had happened just last week. As if her world hadn’t almost ended last week. That was the magic of having breakfast with daddy dearest. After her father left, she’d shrugged off the bad mood and got dressed for work then called her driver to bring the car around. The parazzi were still camping out in front of her apartment building as the driver exited the garage and onto the road joining the traffic. They were probably still waiting for her to come out of her hiding place into the real world so they could have something to put down in their freaking gossip magazines and whatnot but the joke was on them because she was out in the real world now and there was nothing to stop her.Her employees were probably wondering why she looked so happy even though she really wasn’t on the inside. She’d thought that idiot Jencarlos would be the o

She called after a minute.“Yes honey?” He looked up from putting on her socks.“Remember Mrs Shalom said I shouldn’t come to school if you don’t pay my fees.” She reminded him.Jesse stared at his daughter with a frown on his face as he tried to remember if he’d had a conversation with the bursar after he dropped her off in school yesterday then it hit him and he sighed.“Yes I remember.” He sounded defeated. “I’ll talk to her to give me more time or I’ll talk to Mr Williams.”“I’m sorry daddy.” She apologized.“For what?”.
