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
She sat before the mirror shelf as her hair was beautifully wrapped by Maiden who was standing behind her. Donned in a white cotton robe, she was looking so dazzling that night with her face glowing with expensive makeup. Her father in-law had thrown a party at the mansion to celebrate the arrival of baby Junior. Her friends and family were all present and her joy knew no bounds. “The most beautiful mama in the world right now,” Maiden teased and they both laughed. “Stop teasing me. Where is Bisi?” She asked. “She went out with the girls to welcome the guests. Who knows if they would find a rich handsome dude for themselves tonight,” she said with a scoff and they both laughed again. “Adrian has no friends. Only some of his business partners will be here. Everywhere is going to be filled with Mateo’s friends,'' she said with a smile. “That’s true,” Maiden acknowledged. Just then, the door opened and Natasha walked into the room. She was beautifully dressed in a long black fishne
He tried to keep a calm face as he walked into the party. He could see Alex and her friends sitting at a table with smiles on their faces. She caught sight of him and stood up Immediately. “Honey,” he called as he walked over to give her a hug. “Where did you go?” She asked as he pecked her cheek. “Oh, I received a business call,” he lied. “Mr Businessman, you’re now a father, remember?” She asked and they both laughed. He looked over at the girls who were smiling at him. “I hope you’re all enjoying the party?” He asked. “Yes,” they cheered and he nodded with a smile. “Where is baby J?” He asked. “Over there with mom,” she replied as she pointed at the table next to them where Mrs Bimpe and her husband were sitting with the baby in her arms. “Okay. Has Jason and Amos left already?” He asked. “Yeah, they left not long ago,” she replied. “What about Nat? Has she been revealed, yet?” He asked with a chuckle. “Oh, yes. She’s sitting with her man over there,” she pointed and h
A FEW DAYS LATER He stepped out of the bathroom with a white towel tied across his waist. He could see her making a phone call on the bed where she sat. Baby Junior could also be seen sleeping peacefully in his cradle which was beside the bed. “Honey,” she called as the call ended “Is that Madison?” He asked as he walked to the mirror shelf. “Yes, she is lodging in a hotel. From there she will move to Abuja,” she replied. “Does Jason know about this?” He asked and she shook her head. “She doesn’t want Jason to know of her whereabouts. I feel so sorry for them right now,” she said sadly. “I told you divorcing is not a good idea. Now see what it has cost them. They lost the company, lost their marriage and also their family’s name,” he said as he walked to the wardrobe. “Hmm, I will miss Madison a lot,” she said sadly and he smiled. She stood up from the bed and walked over to him. “Honey,” she called with her hands wrapped around his neck. “Hmm,” he mumbled. “Thank you for
Looking down the stairs, she could see the ladies sitting on the couch stylishly with a little brown skin girl beside them. Her heart began to pound as she hastened her footsteps down the stairs. The fair skinned lady with curly brown hair rose as soon as she stepped into the living room. Her slender stature was elegantly clothed in a white beaded jumpsuit and her beautiful long face wearing expensive makeup. Everything about her was classy and she stopped for a moment as she saw the smirk on her face. “Oh, here she comes,” she heard her say with a smirk as she looked at the other fair skinned lady sitting on the couch. “Who..who..are you?” She managed to ask. “I am Barbara,” she said confidently as she waved back her hair stylishly. “Adrian’s legally wedded wife,” she added and smirked again. Her heart stopped beating for a moment as she stared at the lady in front of her. She opened her mouth to speak but the words were stuck. “And this is my sister, Maria and my daughter, Isabe
