“I can’t believe you’re sitting here comfortably, spilling in my face that Alex went on a date with another man?!” Mateo’s deep voice sounded on the balcony as he looked at his son who was sitting opposite him, drinking his wine slowly. “What do you want me to do, father? She is a grown up, she has the right to make her own decisions. And I can see that she has chosen who she wants to be with, '' he sounded angrily and let out a sigh. “No, this is hard to believe. Now, you’re letting her walk away from your life so freely?” Mateo asked in dismay. He kept silent and gulped his drink angrily. “Father, Alex has made her choice. I’m not the right man for her! I’m not perfect, I’m still insecure, and I guess she found someone who treats her right, someone who treats her better than I do. So, I figured out, it’s time we go our separate ways. She will bear the baby for me and leave afterwards,” he said angrily. “And why are you in pain? I thought you never loved her?” Mateo asked as he
Their pants could be heard as they both pulled away from each other with the duvet shielding their unclad bodies. “I’ve missed you so much,” he cried as he cuddled her in his arms “I missed you too,” she said with a smile as she caressed his bare chest with her fingers. “I’m..I’m so sorry for everything. I know I've said this countless times, but I’m truly deeply sorry,” he apologized as he looked into her face. “I’m sorry for giving you rooms for suspicion and for sleeping here at the guestroom. I was just overwhelmed and I felt really hurt about everything. I just needed a moment to myself,” she related sadly. He tightened his arms around her and kissed her forehead. “I just don’t know why I can’t take it. Seeing you around some other guy irritates me,” he confessed and she chuckled. “Or, maybe someone’s about to fall,” she said with a chuckle as she raised her head to his face. He laughed and caressed her arms. “ I’m starting to,” he said and her smile broadened. “What’s th
Afrobeats music could be heard in the club as they both stepped in, with all eyes turned in their direction. Dressed in a long red sleeveless gown, she was looking beautiful that night with her face wearing light makeup and her long artificial hair falling on her shoulders. Beside her was Adrian who was donned in a black tuxedo and oxford shoes. The club light reflected on their faces as they walked to the large table where they could see Madison and the guys who were all seated. She caught sight of them and rushed towards them Immediately. "Alex!! " She exclaimed with her face beaming with a smile. She was dressed beautifully in a long silver dress with her long beautiful face wearing simple makeup. "Awwwn!!!!! Congrats baby!!" Alex exclaimed as they both hugged. Jason and the guys stood up and they all shook hands with Adrian aside from Amos whose face was bittered. "It's a big win for you, Jason, " he said as he shook hands with Jason. "Thanks, man, It's a pleasure having
With her hand holding her dress, she hurried down the stairs as her eyes stared at the men standing in the living room. “Alex,” Amos called anxiously as he saw her walk into the living room. “Where is your husband? Is he on his way already?” Ben asked as he walked towards her. “He’s on his way. He will be here in no time,” she said as she helped herself to the couch. She shut her eyes as she felt the pains again and the men gathered around her. “Alex, are you okay?” Derrick asked and she nodded. “Where are your maids? Someone is supposed to be looking after you,” Amos said with concern. “I’m..I’m fine,” she muttered. Not long, the door opened and Adrian stormed into the house with his men. "Honey.. honey!!" He called as he rushed into the house to find Alex sobbing with the men beside her. They all stood up as soon as they saw him. "Greetings, Mr Steel, " They greeted. "Amos,.. um.. Ben.. and .." he called as he looked at their faces. "Derrick.. " The last guy interrupted
He stood in the living room pacing with one hand on his waist. Just then, he heard her footsteps from the stairs and he rushed over to the stairs immediately. “The baby’s coming!” She cried and he froze for a moment. “No..no..no..this is not happening! God, why?!” He asked. “Come over here and help me down!” She barked as she threw a big bag down the stairs. “Oh.. God.. why do I have to be the one to suffer for her pains,” he cried as he rushed up the stairs. He tried to lift her up but she hit his head violently. “Help me walk, not carry me!” She yelled. “Okay..okay..sorry,” he muttered as he held her arms and led her down the stairs slowly. “Get Sam. Tell him to get the car ready,” she said as she breathed in and out. “Who..who is Sam?” He asked as he looked up at her face. “He is the driver, for Christ's sake!” She yelled in his face and he dashed out Immediately while she moved over to the couch. She was in labor already and she needed to keep control of her emotions, sh
He stayed beside her as she was rolled into the private ward and placed on the bed. Beside the bed was a cradle where baby Junior was sleeping peacefully. The maids were present in the room along with Amos who was sitting at an armchair opposite the bed. “He’s so handsome and took after his father,” Vivian said with a smile and Alex laughed. “Yes, my blood is stronger,” Adrian said and they all laughed. He turned to Amos who was watching them with a smile on his face. “Um, have you heard from Jason and the others?” He asked. He cleared his throat and stood up. “He called. They’re on their way to get Emilia. She happened to be the reason for the attack and I want to accompany them so we can apprehend her,” he related. “Oh, this is crazy. I can’t believe this is happening right now,” Alex said anxiously. “I will call to check on you guys later and also on Mr Thompson,” Adrian said. “Thanks a lot,” Amos said. “No, we should be thanking you. You were Alex’s hero today,” he said a
The cry of baby Junior could be heard all over the room as he walked in. Donned in a black fitted suit, he stopped for a moment and a warm smile appeared on his face while staring at his wife and mother in-law who were attending to the baby. She frowned as she saw him smiling and he laughed. “You better come over here to make him stop crying,” she said with a frown. “Oh little baby, why are you crying? Daddy is coming,” he sang as he stepped towards the bed slowly. The baby stopped crying for a while and they all looked at each other in surprise. “He really recognizes his father’s voice,” Mrs Bimpe said with a smile. “That’s my boy,” he said as he lifted the baby up from the bed. “Where have you been?” She asked as she sighed heavily. He smiled and handed the baby over to Mrs Bimpe. “I went to pick up someone from the airport,” he said and she pulled a surprised face. “Who?” She asked. “She’s here to see you,” he said. She gave him a surprised look and he pulled her up slo
The cars stopped in front of the dilapidated four storey building. The door opened and he stepped out of the car wearing his sunglasses. He took off his sunglasses and scanned his eyes around the neighborhood where a few people could be seen carrying out their daily activities. He looked up at the roof of the building with his palm shielding his eyes from the burning sun. He let out a sigh and turned to the men who were standing beside him. “Um, I’ll go up there alone. Just be on alert in case anything should go wrong,” he said and they all nodded. He wore his sunglasses and proceeded to the stairs of the building. He could feel his heart racing fast as he climbed up the old dirty stairs which seemed to be out of use for ages. He wondered what she would be doing in such a place. The thought of seeing her again frightened him and he took a deep breath as he finally reached the rooftop. The strong breeze blew across his face as he reached the top where he could catch a perfect view o
