Joseph's POV

Parking my car in the garage, I came out and went into the house, and Lady Tope Hilary came out of the house, surprised, and asked me, "Sir, didn't you go to work today?"

I looked at her, seeing that she was dressed up, and I wondered where she was going too. Most times, I went to work and did not return until the evening when I had closed from work.

"I went to the office, but I am back. Where are you off to?" I asked her, and she smiled, replying, "I am going for grocery shopping and to also see my son at school."

"Alright, be back on time," I told Lady Tope and moved ahead into the house. Going inside, I went to have my bath and to chill out, thinking about how to win Amaka's heart back.

Amaka was wrong, and I didn't only consider apologizing to her now because of my father's threat. No, I am far more than that; only it wouldn't be nice if the rumors got to public knowledge that I lost my father's support. Many people in this area and this city as a whole respected my f

    AMAKA'S POVEthan walked into the living room with me, and Aunt Ann welcomed him with a bright smile as he greeted her, "Good evening, Ma.""Welcome, sir. How was your day today at work?" She asked him, to which he replied, "It was fine. I came to see Amaka, and she invited me over for dinner."Ethan looked at me, but I moved over to the dining chair to sit down."That's fine. You are welcome," Aunt Ann was friendly with Ethan, but I didn't say anything as I ushered my son to have his seat.Jason was looking at Ethan, but he was silent.The dining table fell into silence while I served around the vegetable soup and semovita that I had prepared."Do you eat this kind of food?" I asked Ethan as I reached his chair and served the small plate of soup garnished with meat and dried fish, then I served his semovita too."Why not? I will gladly eat whatever you prepared," he replied with a smile."That's fine," I told him and moved over to the kitchen to get him a bowl of water. Once I got ba

    AMAKA'S POVI looked back at Aunt Ann, wondering if Ethan had bribed her to speak to me. Most especially these days, she wouldn't stop discussing marriage-related topics with me."Aunt, I already told you that I am not interested in Ethan in that way. I have to focus on my life, build it, and not get carried away by a man who is so full of deceit. Ethan and I are only friends with no strings attached," I clarified to Aunt Ann as she went to sit on the couch beside Jason. She sighed..."It's fine. I also couldn't accept loving another man again after what Maureen's father did to me. But I want you to give love a second chance. You are still young to remain single for the rest of your life," Aunt Ann said, and I sighed."It's alright, Aunt. I will consider it, but not now. Good night then. Jason, come on, let's go in and sleep," I said, moving over to the couch to carry Jason, but he refused, still wanting to watch his movie."Let him be. I will bring him back to your room after he has

    Joseph's POVThe following Saturday, my mother arrives at my home and asked me, "Joseph, where is Amaka's home address? I have to go and see my grandson today!""Mom," I looked at her in surprise as she came with her car. She wore a blue dress and black sandals."Mom, good morning," I greeted her, not knowing what I would explain to her. I knew that I had seen Amaka in that new house that was five buildings away from mine, but I didn't want to tell my mother that was where Amaka now lives. What if she moves out? Because that was part of the reason I had not approached her since the last time I saw her and tried to plead with her.Amaka shut me out, and I assumed that if I approached her again, she would suspect I live around this estate and pack out."Mom, I do not know her house address. Just give me some time to sort things with Amaka. I am begging you and Dad," I pleaded, and my mother refused."No way. You either give me the home address today, or you get kicked out of the company

I did, and gave her my contact."When will you be free for us to go and do the DNA test? How about tomorrow?" She asked me, and I nodded. "Yes, tomorrow will be fine, because Jason is now a student.""Alright. That's a wonderful name that you gave him. Take care, Jason," she waved at him, and he smiled and waved back, going into the house."Take care of yourself. I have to go now," Mrs. Hannah turned to leave, and I looked away from her as she went back to meet Joseph.I looked away from Joseph, not ready to say hi to him.

I asked groggily."Amaka! It's me, Maureen! Mom told me that you moved out yesterday. Why didn't you tell me before you packed?" Maureen asked, and I sighed, understanding that she didn't want her mother to be alone."Maureen, I already explained to you that I just needed a place of my own. I appreciate you and your mother's help, but when I told your mother I wanted her to move out with me, she refused," I calmly explained to Maureen, and the call went silent for a while."That's fine. I just called to check how you are doing and how Jason is too." She didn't sound happy, and I understood."We're fine. I will be going for a medical checkup today, and I’ll stop by your place," I told her, still seated on the bed."Checkup for what?

So I cannot vouch for you to be with him. Instead of pleading for you to accept him, I should be pleading for my own chances with you," Ethan said, to which I laughed aloud."I already told you that I don't have any interest in getting into another relationship. After Joseph's betrayal and my parents disowning me, I find it difficult to love another man. I am only doing this DNA test to show Joseph and his family that my son is truly their grandson and not because I lied to Joseph. I don’t care about him or what he thinks anymore.""It's alright. I understand. It's okay. Once you are through with the test, you can give me a call. I would like for us to meet," Ethan proposed, but I recalled that I had promised Maureen I would go visit her."I am sorry. Not today, because I want to go see my girlfriend.

    Joseph's POV:I drove ahead to the hospital on the island as it was the one my parents used to visit. Sitting in the car with Amaka behind me, I drove towards the hospital building. Her scent seemed to envelop my nostrils. I know that she is angry with me because of her child. She is angry because I denied that I knew her. I denied that she was my girlfriend and that we had an affair. Seeing my son too, I don't know how to feel or how to connect with him. As he grew up with Amaka, I knew that he shared a strong bond with her, and that was why she could hear him out and go with me to the hospital.I kept my gaze focused on the road as I pondered the outcome of our hospital visit. If I am not the father of her child, then I wouldn’t have to feel so guilty. But I recalled that I was the one who had deflowered her."Mm," I mumbled, driving for a while, and I heard the little boy ask her, "Mom, is the hospital far?""Yes. We will soon get there," Amaka replied as she looked at me and

Failure to do so, you wouldn't like my actions."I met my father's gaze as he spoke to me in a cold voice. "Alright, father. I will be home tonight," I replied calmly, and my mother looked at me and at Amaka, who was standing aside with Jason."Joseph, we can only pray for this child to be yours. We have missed him dearly, and he resembles you. You should try to make up with her, okay?""Mom, it's easier said than done. She has a new life, and I don't want to meddle with it," I replied, though I knew that I wasn't being honest. I wanted Amaka, but seeing the way that she loathed me and doesn't want to meet my gaze, I cannot force her to be with me."Do not say that. You are not married to any other woman, and I wouldn't allow you to marry anyone else either except your child's mother," Mom said in a stern voic

    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.

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
