Joseph's POV:

Arriving at my company again this week, I had hoped to see Amaka, but up until this moment, I hadn't seen her.

My phone rang on my office desk, startling me out of my oceanic thoughts. I picked it up to see who the caller was: Ethan Godson.

Why was he calling me this early in the morning?

I stole a quick glance at the wall clock in my office and saw that it was past 9 a.m.

"Ugh," I sighed as I answered his call.

"Hello," I said, trying to keep my cool because I was not in the mood to speak with Ethan.

"What's up with you, Joseph? What did you do to Amaka that makes it hard for her to give me a chance?" Ethan asked, and I sighed.

"I already told you to stay away from her. Why are you pushing your luck? She has my child with her, and I told you that my father is threatening to disown me if I don't reconcile with my child and his mom. You're making it hard for me if you keep chasing after her," I said, rubbing my temples.

"But you don't love her anymore. So why can't I c

  • Mr. CEO I can't Be Hidden Anymore    Chapter 55

    Amaka's POV:I was unable to sleep, thinking about Ethan's proposal to me. He was so serious that a part of me wanted to give in to his request, but recalling how I had been deceived by Joseph, my resolution was firm.Since I was unable to sleep in my bedroom, I decided to research a new house to start my life because I didn't want to continue living here with Aunt Ann. She had been a great support for me, and I really appreciated that, but I had made up my mind to move on with my life and get an apartment of my own.I took my Android phone and browsed to see where I could find an affordable apartment. Although Ethan had told me that he had many properties here on the mainland and owned the estate where we were living, I wanted a new area—a fresh start away from everyone.“Mmm,” I mumbled, settling on the living room couch and going through my phone. Surprisingly, I hadn’t been contacted by Joseph's company regarding my resignation letter to them. Well, I wasn't expecting them to pest

    Amaka's POV."I don't know yet. I might, I might not, but I have thought about it, and I think the right answer is no. I am not going to get back with him," I told Simon. He replied, "Wow! I'm still surprised to hear this. Can we meet and hang out at least?""No. Well, not today. I have some things I want to handle, including making preparations for a new house that I am planning on renting; also, I have to go pick up my son from school," I told Simon, and he replied, "That's fine. I will call you later to catch up. I'm still in the office now. It's just that I missed you. Or don’t you miss me too?""Well, I do. Take care of yourself, Simon. Bye," I quickly told him and ended the call. Sighing, I resumed eating my food, conscious of the time and knowing that I had to go pick up my son from school.Once I was done eating, I prepared to leave the house. I grabbed my black bag as the time was already 3 p.m. I slipped on my black slippers and headed out for my son's school.Luckily, Etha

    Amaka's POV:"Mommy, why don’t you like my Daddy?" Jason asked me as we entered the compound that led to our apartment."I don't know. Maybe because he is not as handsome as you," I told my son, and he frowned."But he is my Daddy," he innocently replied, to which I said, "I know, but not mine. You saw my Daddy, didn't you?""Yes, we saw your daddy. When are we going to see mine?" Jason asked, and I told him, "Later. Tell me, what did your class teacher teach you today? Did she give you any assignments at all?"I tried to shift the topic, and Jason replied, "Yes. She gave me homework. But I haven't done it. It's two-letter words, so I know that simple homework."I smiled, knowing that Jason had watched a lot of educational kids' channels before he started preschool. He was highly intelligent, but I wondered where he got that intelligence from because Joseph was only obsessed with sex. As for me, I wasn't so sure about my own intelligence. I escorted my son into the apartment we share

    Amaka's POV."Which other man?" I asked Mrs. Ann before she left my room. She told me, "Who else? The man you have been laughing with since this morning or the day before.""Mm. Ethan," I mumbled his name, and she said, "Yes. He is outside. When I arrived, I told him that I didn’t know if you were back, but I would check and send for you.""Mmm. What does he want from me? Anyway, let me go see him. I already made jollof rice this afternoon," I told Aunt Ann, and she replied, "Okay. Let me go into my bedroom and freshen up."Aunt Ann left me just as I walked out of my room and down the corridor. Jason was still engrossed in watching his favorite cartoon on the television, thanks to the constant power supply in our home.As I walked out of the house, I was surprised to see Ethan standing beside his black car. I hadn’t noticed his cars before, but he had different types of black cars. "Hi, good evening," I greeted him first, seeing him wearing a white top and short three-quarter blue j

    Amaka's POV."Wow!" Jason and I gasped as we entered the living room of Ethan's home. "Your house is so beautiful," I told him, and he grinned, stopping in the living room beside us. He said, "It's a pleasure. I just wanted you to know where I live so that you can come over to see me whenever you feel like it.""Awn. Thank you. But I am not your woman, so I cannot be free to come here any way I please," I told him, and he smiled."Would you like to request anything? Like juice or a malt drink?" he asked as I looked around the white living room again. He had a very large flat-screen television, lovely chandeliers hanging brightly above, and high curtains that I couldn't see the end of, adding to the beauty of his living room. The walls featured paintings of him and lovely flower vases around. It was a beautiful living room with inviting off-white couches."No, I am fine. Jason and I are good," I told him, not wanting to accept a drink from him. An elderly man in a white shirt and blac

    Amaka's POV.After a few more minutes sitting in the living room of Ethan's home, I stood up and asked the butler, "Mr. Evan, is there a library in here?""Yes, Madam, but it's upstairs beside the master's study," he said."Oh. It's alright. I am fine," I replied, looking away from him and telling Jason to join me outside."Mr. Evan, please tell Ethan that we will be outside waiting for him once he is done," I instructed Mr. Evan, who was standing beside the dining table. The dining table had silver chairs, and it was a beautiful setting. The older man replied, "Okay, Ma'am."Jason and I walked out of the house, and he asked me, "Mom, are we going home now?""Yes, once Ethan is done with what he went upstairs to do," I told him, and he smiled. "Alright."I pulled out my phone and snapped a cool evening photo of myself and Jason against the beautiful backdrop of Ethan's home. His house is so beautiful. As I gazed at the lovely evening photos, Ethan came out of the house and asked me, "

    **Amaka's POV**The next morning, I woke up in bed and prepared Jason for school. It was Tuesday, and the weather seemed like it was going to rain. As we were nearing the end of October, I made a mental note to get a school cardigan for my son.After dressing Jason for school, I assisted him with preparing his breakfast before the school bus arrived."Goodbye, Mom," Jason waved happily at me as I watched him get on the bus. There were other kids on the bus, and I waved goodbye once he was seated in the middle and had fastened his seatbelt. The bus drove off.I smiled and went back into the house, preparing for my visit to a new house."Amaka, wow. So you finally registered Jason for the school bus," Lazy Ann said as she came into my room. She was set to leave the house for her shop. She wore a blue tailored dress and black slippers, and I replied, "Yes, ma, to relieve me of stress.""That's good. I'm already heading to my shop. Are you leaving the house today?" she asked, standing by

    **Amaka's POV** "I already told you that I do not know why Joseph was here," I said to Ethan, not wanting to tell him that Joseph wanted to request a DNA test to know if my son was truly his."That's fine. I will be leaving now for work. Take care," Ethan said before he moved back to his car and got in. I watched him start his car engine and drive off. Sighing, I went back into the house, thinking about how I should handle Joseph's situation.I went to have my bath, and after coming out, I dressed in a black shirt and a white top. I combed my long blonde hair while standing in front of the mirror, then I applied a little touch of makeup on my face.I could recall Joseph's words to Aunt Ann: "I want to marry Amaka now.""Hahaha!" I laughed out loud while looking at my reflection in the mirror."What makes Joseph think that I would want to marry him?" I asked myself, smiling at my reflection as I finished fixing my hair. I grabbed my trusty black handbag, slipped my phone into the zip,

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.

    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'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.

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
