Chapter 27

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-15 18:32:19

Joseph's POV:

"No, it's okay. I have already spoken to Amaka, and calling her again wouldn't be nice because she seemed already embarrassed after you scolded her. So just act like you don't know she exists. I cannot date her, if that's what you're thinking about."

I had to clear the air between Amaka and me, and I couldn't believe that Nina would react that way when we arrived at the company and saw Amara getting out of Simon's car again.

My brows had furrowed upon seeing them. I wondered if Amaka was dating Simon now.

Was that how loose she had become after I moved on from her?

I knew I was Amaka's first, but I didn't want to tell Nina that I had dated Amaka before, and it was in the past.

That would complicate things.

After Nina had spoken to Amaka rudely, not minding the staff and customers arriving, I had to call Amaka and speak to her by telling her not to be disrespectful to Nina.

It was the hardest thing I had to do to make peace reign.

Amaka didn't want to look at me when

    Amaka's pov.I had not expected to be bullied by Joseph's fiancée. What did she take me for?She had to refer to me as "Hey you."I was stunned because I was not expecting that, or expecting her to call me.Not only that, Joseph also called me and told me to stay away from his fiancée and respect her."Okay," I had replied to Joseph, knowing that he had been pretending not to know me well. I intended to confront him today about our child.My son.Joseph needed to know that he is a father. Even though he had asked me to get rid of the pregnancy in the past, I think it's the right time I finally inform him about the pregnancy.I saw Simon answer the call before he left the office, and when he returned, he had a solemn look on his face."What happened, Simon?" I asked him, just to know what he went to do. Since he said that the Boss actually called him to his office."It's nothing. I'm fine," Simon replied, and I looked at him, wondering if the boss had cautioned him about me."Did the b

    Amaka's POV."My goodness! What happened Amaka? Where are you coming from?" Simon asked. I was sure that my face was a total mess. But I didn't want to tell him just yet."I am sick for today. So I have to go home," I said, making a mental note to go and pick up Jason since I am leaving for work early."Oh my goodness. But you just left here now in good shape and looks. How come you're looking so red? Are you sure that you're fine?" Simon asked again, and I gave a nod and replied, "Yes. I am fine. I will be back tomorrow."I knew I wasn't going to come back here again, as I cannot stand Joseph. His pretense and lies.I cannot be a part of him. So I signed out of my profile page on the company's laptop and shut it closed.Simon stood watching me as I grabbed my bag and angrily left the office. I was done and I cannot be here. I had a peaceful life, not until I decided to look for a job.My blog was paying me massively, and also, some other advertisements I did on my own before.I quick

    Joseph's POV:After Amaka had dashed out of my office just as Aaron came in unexpected and called her by her name. I was shocked that he knew Amaka's name. Where did they meet?"Babe, what's going on here?" Nina asked, and Aaron snapped out of his trance and turned to look at her."Hi, I am Aaron, Joseph's younger brother," he stretched his hand and accepted Nina's right hand in a handshake, and she replied, "Nina. Nice to meet you.""Nice to meet you too. I heard that you both are getting married next month, so I returned home for the wedding," Aaron kept discussing with Nina, trying to shift her mind away from the conversation about Amaka and what she was doing in my office before he and Nina entered."Alright." Nina forced a fake smile and smiled at Aaron. Then she looked at me with a questioning look on her face."Babe, what was that woman doing in here again and why do you look so tense and she appeared red?" Nina didn't want to drop the topic, and I looked at her as I was still

    Joseph's POV,"I don't need a DNA test to prove if that child is mine. The baby doesn't resemble me," I told Aaron, and he laughed out loud."Must your children look like you? Anyway, I came here to congratulate you on your engagement, and now, it seems like the engagement has become ruined."I looked at Aaron's face without saying anything to him as I went back to my office seat and sat down."I have to be on my way home, bro. I called Danna and told her that I am back. She said she's at school and cannot come now to welcome me. I have to go home. Take care, bro, and try to sort the child out. Besides, when you were dating many pretty women, you ought to have been careful."I didn't reply to Aaron and watched him leave my office. My mind was filled with thoughts on how Amaka had kept the pregnancy and never told me about it.She had mentioned that her family sent her away and she had been through a lot because of me.My mother will be angry once she finds out about this. Although, I

    Joseph's POV:I gripped the steering wheel as I drove towards the estate where my family's mansion was located. It was far from where I resided, as my current place of residence was very busy, while the estate where my father's mansion was situated was much calmer.Upon arriving at the estate gate, the security men pulled open the large black gate, allowing me entry to park my car. I quickly got out of the vehicle, noting that the sun was still high, though it seemed like the sky was about to open up for heavy rain later.I walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell to announce my presence. A maid opened the door, and I entered the living room of the mansion."Good evening, Mom," I greeted, as I saw my mother seated on the couch with my younger brother, Aaron."Welcome, Joseph. What is happening? What did you do to Nina, and who is the new lady that has a child for you?" My mother immediately bombarded me with a series of questions as soon as I walked in."Mom, I don't have any

    Joseph's POV:I stood speechless, still looking at the image that graced Danna's phone."Have you seen where your Casanova lifestyle has landed you? You got the child's mother pregnant, and you expected her to kill this innocent child, just because you don't know the value of human life!" Mom taunted me with mean words, but I remained quiet."Mom, I wasn't to be blamed here. I wasn't ready for marriage then, and I explained it to Amaka.""Just stop talking, Joseph, and give me the young woman's number. You are not my son, and I don't want to see your face anymore if you don't go and apologize to that lady and bring my grandchild home.""Mom!" I looked at her in disbelief, knowing that my mother doesn't just say what she wouldn't do."You heard me correctly, Joseph. I didn't send you to impregnate the boy's mother, but he's your son, and you cannot deny it. I'm still ashamed that you wanted to kill this innocent child. Where are your manners, Joseph, and what did you gain from sleeping

Jason hugged Maureen happily, and I stood there capturing more photos of them since Maureen hugged him too."He's so adorable, Amaka," Maureen told me with a smile, and I replied in a lovely tone, "Yes. Thanks, dear."I walked to meet Maureen and hugged her, as I missed her. "We miss you, girlfriend," I said soothingly into her ear, since we were the same height."Me too, thanks," Maureen replied just as she pulled away from the hug."Come, let us cut Jason's cake and make a wish. Or should we wait for your mother to arrive?" I asked Maureen gently. Just then, another knock resonated in the living room.Maureen offered to check who was at the door as Jason and I were at the dining table where his cake was.As Maureen pulled the door open, Mrs. Ann entered the l

    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

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 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.

    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

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

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.

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
