"Ahh!" I moaned as Joseph thrust into me. This was my 18th birthday. I had just graduated from high school, and Joseph Ericson was my boyfriend. He wouldn't leave me alone, begging and disturbing me to have sex.
I had told him that I wanted to wait until after our marriage, but Joseph refused. He claimed that I didn't love him enough, which was why I didn't want to sleep with him. I agreed, and here I was in a hotel room with him.
I am typically a shy blonde girl, very fair in complexion, but Joseph was the opposite. He was dark-skinned, taller than me, and very handsome. He has full black hair, and I really love him very much. While Joseph Ericson came from a very rich family here in Palazo town where we lived, my parents were average workers, so we were considered less well-off than Joseph's family.
Joseph promised to marry me. He was 21 years old, a business student at the university, while I was still preparing to gain admission to join him there. I had lied to my mother, saying I was going to see my friend, just as I was preparing to write my university admission exam. I snuck into this hotel to see Joseph, and here we are.
"Um! Ah, ha!" I moaned as Joseph drove into me faster, moaning into my ear, "Yes babe. You are so sweet." He reached his climax and released himself in me.
"Joseph, it hurts," I cried as he kissed me warmly and sat beside me on the hotel bed. "I am sorry, my love. I will forever cherish this," he said, cupping my pretty face as he kissed my forehead. "I cannot seem to get enough of you. I wish we could get married, and I wouldn't leave you," he said, and I wiped my teary eyes and looked at his handsome face as we lay on the hotel bed.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked him, and he sighed. "Look, Amaka, I want you to know that I love you very much. But my family and I are moving to the city next week. You know that my father owns a big company there. So he informed my siblings and me that he acquired a new mansion, which means I'll be leaving with them, and we might not see each other again."
My eyes welled up with tears as I heard Joseph say that to me.
"But you will still call me on the phone, right?" I asked him, trying to believe that Joseph wouldn't go to the city and fall in love with another woman there. I love him very much. He is like the air that I breathe. My heart and soul yearn for him.
"I promise you, I won't forget about you. Anytime I'm on vacation, I'll come around to see you. Instead, I'll stay in the hotel, okay? You are my wife, stop crying," Joseph wiped my tears away and drew closer to me on the bed, kissing me on my lips again.
I was crying and not in the mood to kiss him. "Why not take me home with you? Tell your parents that I am your girlfriend and you wish to marry me. You've been hiding me all this time, not wanting to introduce me to your mother," I told him. I knew that whenever I suggested visiting him at his family home, he would refuse. None of his siblings knew we were dating, and I felt awkward chatting with his brother online, introducing myself as Joseph's girlfriend.
"My elder brother is not in any relationship," Aaron would say.
Joseph practically kept me hidden, and I didn't know how long he planned to continue doing that.
"No, Amy. I promise you, when the time is right, I will take you home and introduce you to my family. If I do that now, my parents will get annoyed and give my inheritance to my younger brother. I have to first get established, and after that, I promise you we will get married," he said, wiping my sobs away. I wished I could believe him, but I had this lingering feeling that Joseph was lying to me.
Was he lying to me? Did he have another woman in his life? My heart became so heavy, realizing I had just lost my virginity to him before considering all these. Joseph kissed me again and thrust into me before my mind could register to ask him. I groaned in pain with each deep thrust, and there he took me to cloud nine with him.

**Four years later.**
(Amaka's POV)
"Mom, when are you taking me to school?" My son asked me. He was so smart and intelligent compared to me, and he would be four years old in a week.
"Jason, you're still a baby and not fit to go to school yet," I told him as I prepared for my new job interview.
"That's a lie, Mom!" He shouted. I sighed, rolled my eyes as I stood by the vanity in my room, combing my long blonde hair and applying my orange perfume.
"Jason, why would Mommy lie to you? Have you seen a baby going to school? You have to stay at home with my friend," I told him, and he frowned.
"Mommy..." Jason burst out crying hard, and my best friend, Maureen Austin, came into the room.
"What's going on here, Amaka? What did you do to my small husband?" She asked me as she scooped Jason up into her arms.
After I got pregnant, my parents chased me away and refused to sponsor my education. I tried calling Joseph then to tell him that I was pregnant. But guess what? He blocked my line and told me to get rid of it, saying he wasn't ready to father a child.
I couldn't do that. I had to beg my friend for help. She was a tailor and into blogs, and so she pleaded with her mother, who was a single mother, and her mother allowed me to live with them.
Later, I started creating blogs too, as Maureen told me I could do it as a part-time job from home. With that, my page has millions of followers as I created a baby page for my son and uploaded cute photos of him.
Many fans love Jason. He was fair skin like me, but while I had long blonde hair, he has short light brown hair.
Amaka's POV:After I was done sending the text message to Joseph, it showed as received, but my heart was so anxious to hear what he would reply to me.I carefully placed the phone back on the bedside drawer and fell asleep.****Joseph's POV:After returning from Amaka's apartment where I took Jason back to meet his mother, I knew that she was already stone-hearted and would not forgive me. I decided to let her focus on her life and her business and wait for her to bring the child custody agreement for me to sign, as I wanted to be a part of my son's life.As I parked my car in my garage, I got out and went into the house.Lady Tope was present in the living room, and she welcomed me. "Welcome, sir.""Thank you," I replied as I glanced at her face. She smiled warmly, and I knew that she had heard when Amaka had come here to my house and yelling for me to return her son."Sir," Lady Tope's soft voice stopped me as I reached for the stairs to climb it and ascend to my room."What's it
Amaka's POV "Mom, is tomorrow really my Dad's birthday?" My son asked me as I set up his dinner at the dining table. What kind of brain does Jason have? He pays attention to even the things that I do not expect him to care about. Also, he asked me reasonable questions since he learned to talk. And additionally, he became more of a talkative since he met his Dad. "Jason, I do not know. Your father was here. Why didn't you ask him or stay with him?" I looked away from my son's face as I served him his jollof rice to eat. "But Mom, Dad has been nice to us. Why do you not want to talk to him and be his friend? Dad said that he is sorry, and he will not hurt you again," Jason said as he looked at me thoughtfully. "Do you believe your Daddy?" I asked my son before we resumed eating. "Yes. I believe Daddy," Jason replied, and I sighed. "It's okay to believe your dad, but I do not want to be his friend or believe him again. He lied to me, and I haven't forgotten what he did. So I will
Jospeh's POV"You should try to apologize to her. I believe she will forgive you," Lady Tope said, and I nodded my head. "It's fine." I stood up and went to the top floor to check on my son, and he was sleeping peacefully on the bed due to the cold. I looked at his cute face, as the room bulb was on. The night had fallen gradually, and I sighed and picked up my phone to create a fake account and to send an apology message to Amaka. She had to hear me out. However, as I thought about sending her a message, I thought about the possibility that she might not see it. So I kept my phone back on the shelf and went to study. A few minutes later, I came out of the study as it was past 9 pm. Jason awoke on the bed and looked at me. "Daddy, how about my Mom?" He asked me first, getting out of the bed, and I told him, "She is not here. Do you want to go and see her?""Yeah," Jason nodded, and I sighed. "Fine. Come with me."Jason requested to use the bathroom, and I waited for him to exit.
Joseph's POVI came out of my house not expecting to see Amaka here, yelling for me to bring our son out. I knew that I had not signed the child's custody agreement with her. "Hey, big brother. My friend and I came back because she has something to discuss with you," Danna said as she quickly moved away from her white car with her best friend. "Danna, I did not invite you here, and you can tell me whatever your friend has to say to me over a phone call," I told my younger sister as I was pissed off seeing her. I knew that she doesn't like Amaka again, and maybe because she wants to introduce her friend to me, but I do not want her. "I know, Mr. Joseph. Only that your son hasn't caught up with his studies. So Danna and I suggested that I can be his extra school teacher," Clara immediately chipped in, and I looked at her face in shock. "My son's school teacher? Well, I am aware that he is going to school, but he was sick, so you do not have to worry about coming to teach him," I sa
Amaka's POVFeeling Declan Moore's hand in my left hand made me slightly tingly and sent goosebumps down my spine. As he looked at me with love-sick eyes."Hi, it's nice to meet you, Amaka. Can I have your contact?" Declan asked me quickly, as he put his phone into my hands.I opened my mouth to speak and to tell him that I wasn't interested in being his friend. But seeing Janet's smiling face as she wanted me to be friends with her brother, I sighed and replied, "Alright. I'll input my number."Declan smiled and took his phone back, saying, "Thank you, Amaka. I will give you a call later."Glancing at Janet, he said, "I have to go now, sister, and take care of yourself.""Okay, brother," Janet replied with a warm smile as her brother walked away.He ran up to catch up with a black car waiting for him, and Janet giggled. "I can't believe that you thought of my elder brother as my boyfriend. Didn't we look alike?"I sighed and told her, "I'm sorry. I actually mistook him as your boyfri
Amaka's POV: "Amaka, I am not asking you to forgive Joseph. But you know that he is my best friend, and I know Joseph well. These days, I think he is more affected by seeing you again, and you should give him a chance at least, a second chance to prove his worth again." Ethan kept his face focused on the road as he drove his black SUV away. I sighed, still not responding to his advice. "It's well," Ethan muttered as he drove back to the island where my rented apartment was. "Are you bothered that Joseph would want to fight with you if he is so serious about his new-found feeling for me?" I queried Ethan, and he laughed aloud. "He is already fighting me, and he hadn't hung out with me since you showed up in our lives. Honestly, I sometimes wished that I had met you before Joseph did. He doesn't deserve you, at least. Let me be honest. You are too decent for a bad boy like him. So, I cannot blame you for the decision that your heart desires." "Mmm," I was silent as I knew that
Amaka's POV:I stood up from the couch and went to give Joseph's mother my bank account details, and they made the transfer into my account. Once I had confirmed the money, I thanked the Ericsons once more, even when it wasn't what I wanted.Joseph was smiling as if he had won my heart, but I had my reservations as I saw his two aunties looked happy."I have received the money, sir," I let Joseph's father know, and he nodded."That's fine. I want you to use that as compensation for what our son did to you. And we hope that you can always come to visit us whenever we have any family activities," Mr. Ericson said, and I nodded sadly."I will. I have to get going home now." I wanted to leave, and Joseph's mother said, "Why don't you join us for lunch before leaving?""No, Ma'am. I am not hungry. I have a running stomach, so I am always mindful of what I eat outside," I told Mrs. Hannah politely, and she smiled sadly, as she wanted to make amends for the past."It's alright. Since you do
Amaka's POV "Can we get going, please?" Joseph asked me, and I peered at his face and replied, "Alright."I took out my phone and contacted the Uber driver, and I apologized to him. "Hello, sir. I won't be able to go with you again. As I already cancelled the trip. Can I make a refund to you?""It's alright, Madam. You don't have to worry about the payment," the Uber driver said. I marched to get into the back seat of Joseph's car.I saw Joseph smiling, but I rolled my eyes and looked away."Mommy," Jason smiled at me from the front passenger seat, as he was happy to be sitting in the front seat beside Joseph.The car was filled with Joseph's cologne, and I sat in a tight corner, trying to do some breathing exercises to distract my nose from his intoxicating scent."Can you unlock the car windows?" I asked Joseph, after seeing that the car was an automatic."Anything for you," Joseph replied with a calm voice, but I didn't bother to correct him, since he had unlocked the car windows.
Amaka's POV:As I woke up in my room, I sighed and got out of my bed as I made preparations for my son and me to visit Joseph's mother.If it wasn't that I had made the promise that I would visit them, I would have canceled it because Jason was not feeling well.I went to have my bath in the bathroom, and as I got out, I donned a blue top and black trousers, and also a black pair of shoes. Then I moved over to the mirror to do my makeup.I saw that I had a little acne due to the stress that comes with working. I didn't apply makeup, so I made use of my tinted lip gloss and went to my son's room to check on him.Jason was still asleep on the bed, and I recalled how I had gone to Joseph's house to bring him back.Sighing, I gently went to wake my son and to assist him with his bath.His body temperature was back to normal, and he had eaten well the night before.Helping Jason to undress, I prepared a warm bath for him and took him into the bathroom to wash up.A few minutes later, Jason
