"hey!
Rebecca almost jumped from her seat, she had forgotten about her friend's coming that she wasn't expecting anyone so soon, she looked up at him and wished he wasn't around, she wanted to enjoy her view alone. Seeing the man she had seen in her dream felt more like a tale to her, she couldn't believe it her self let alone sharing the details with someone else, people would think she was hallucinating or like a friend would say, you are watching too many Nigerian movies. She decided to pretend she was with him when her heart and mind was so far away.
"Why are you here girlfriend?
"I am running away.
She answered not shy in anyway about opening up to Josh, he was like a brother to her, he was more than a friend, he was friend in need and indeed. She didn't want to be judged and she knew Josh was the only one who would never judge her but looking at him now she really wish he wasn't with her, she wanted to admire her dream man in peace.
"Thanks Josh for coming, you really shouldn't have bothered, I just called you to tell you I am okay and to inform you about where I am, I didn't think you would come"
"Well I couldn't let you finish this nice meal alone"
She smiled at him, that was so Josh, always too interested in free food, he could buy himself just anything he wanted but he would never say no to free food.
Rebecca continue to steal glances at the man across her, she couldn't help but wonder why she saw this exact same man in her dream, she didn't bother to remember the other older man even though they had a striking resemblance, she was more interested in the younger version.
She wasn't a religious person and she hardly prayed but she needed her dreams to come through so she prayed to God in her mind.
"Why are you staring at him?
Rebecca was caught off guard.
"Sorry who?
She asked as if unaware of her own act.
"You have been staring at Charles Peterson since I got here and even before I got here, why are you staring at him as if you haven't seen him before?
"So his name is Peterson, but I don't know him"
"You are joking right?
Who doesn't know the Peterson family, they are one of the most powerful family in the federation and this hotel is one of his own.
"But the hotel is named Browny?
"It could be names anything but it belongs to them, the Peterson, now back to my question, why are you staring at him, you could strip him off his garment with your eyes"
Rebecca didn't know how to respond to her friend, she had surely been looking at him but she was only shocked as to how it was possible that a man she dreamt about a while ago was sitting just across her, if she couldn't believe it herself, why would anyone believe her.
"Well I think he is cute, don't you?
"He is straight for me to think he is cute even though he is and he is already taken for you to be wishing he was sitting here with you"
Rebecca smiled at her friend, he guessed right, she really wish he was sitting right next to her and they were sharing the same table,
This was the first time she was feeling this way, she wasn't happy that he was already taken, but since she was only a girlfriend to him, she wasn't going to give up on dreaming.
She looked at her friend and told him the honest truth.
"I think I like him"
Josh was now shocked, he had always thought his friend was a lesbian or not just okay because she had never been seen with anyone, she never talked about love or even likeness, she was too serious with life and work and she dresses like she was on her way to church all the time.
"That is his girlfriend, she is a no nonsense person, infact I hear they recently got engaged, don't try to compete with someone like that, you wouldn't win.
That was the first time she heard Josh discourage her, he was always supporting and encouraging her to try something new but now he was telling her she wouldn't win, she felt bad so she decided not to tell him she had any Dream about him, she nodded and started eating her food, Josh made his order and started eating immediately the food arrived.
They both are in silent even though she wished she could hear more about Charles Peterson from Josh, she also didn't want any more discouragement, so she ate quietly.
"Do not worry, the doctor have gone out to get the theatre equipment ready, he is going to have to get them here, because he cannot be moving you about". He tells her, while holding her hands tight, but then she started crying."Oh baby, you know how I hate to see you cry, what is the problem? He asked, worried for her."I feel, like something is pushing me". She says, and then she spreads her legs even more wider, and Charles looked, only to see the head of his baby."I think the baby is coming out, let me get the doctor ". She wanted to call him back, to tell him to be her doctor, but he was already gone, it wasn't usual seeing the boss himself act in such a weak manner, but Rebecca, Charles could be any thing, he found the doctor and pulled him by the collar, but before he got to the room, there was a baby already, on her legs. She have given birth to her baby boy."Congratulations, it is a bouncing baby boy". The doctor says. That was nit supposed to be news, because they have bee
With Sandra being gone, there was no point keeping her in the morgue for too long, Charles planned to bury the both of them at the same time, on the same day, so Rebecca and her crew, planned the burial of the two, and it was a very quick one, as every one just came and prayed for them. It was more like the two killed themselves, Charles didn't have to do anything, he only thought good thought for them, yet the both, chose to take their own life.After the burial, Charles and Rebecca concluded every paper work that concerns the new white baby, and took her home, she was named Smarty, and she really did suit the name, for she knows exactly when to cry, when to do everything.Their lives were going well, and there was no complain.Rebecca was happy to have a child, she could learn how to be a real mum with, since her baby was on the way.Logan and Josh have not been given the visa they have been seeking for, because the agency said they will put them on probation for at least a year, b
Charles stared disgustedly at her, but looked lovingly at the baby. He had been fighting to bring forth Andre's baby, he had plans for that child, he had promised himself to support the child and make sure he knew no suffer, but looking at another man's baby, he didn't know what to think, but since it was something he had planned to do, he would still do it, he took care of the bills, and a private nurse was assigned to take care of Sandra, till she will be strong enough to go home. He also told them that if they needed anything, they should call on him or his wife, because he wasn't going to come back again to the hospital.After that, he left, and went home with his wife. It wasn't a good time to speak with him about his new attitude, but Rebecca didn't like the silence between them."What is going on? He asked finally, after seeing that she was giving him the angry look."I never knew you would ask me that, but I should actually be asking you. What is going on love? He didn't know
Months have gone by since Rebecca started working with the Peterson and also handling her personal business and they kept having different persons coming to apply, wanting to work with them, but they never miss to give any new comer the rules and regulations and anyone trying to be smart with them, is shown the way out.For those who are upright, they find Rebecca very loving and understanding, but for those who have ulterior motives, they would always have issues with her, there by making her have as much enemies, as she have friends.She was given different names by different people.Some even said she should go and relax and allow them work the way they would love to, but there was no space for any bad act.President Peterson have seen massive increase and change in his chain of branches all over the federation, as Rebecca would always handle each with serious detail scrutiny, but as she advance in her pregnancy, she started feeling a little weak, she could no longer go through the
The news about the death of Andre went viral, the very next day, the world had already heard about the death of Andre.Sandra who was already very heavy with her pregnancy, cried. She didn't even get to see him before he died, she will be. ringing firth her baby soon, and she will be without a father, and though Charles is taking good care of her, she hates him still, she blames him for the death of Andre, and she wishes to get back at Rebecca, if she ever gets to be free from where she is.Andre thought it would be easy for him to just escape, and maybe it would have been easy, but lick was against him.Charles sat on his bed, looking into space, he didn't know what to do, and he surely, didn't know what to say to the people that had called him.Even after all the evil Andre had done to him, all he still had for him were good thought, he wanted him to come out of prison, he wanted him to have a life, maybe he could really do things differently, everyone should be given a second chan
Charles had finalize the transfer of Andre to Akure correctional center, there he might only get to spend five more years, then he could be released on bail, so they would move in the night.Andre was sleeping, when he was called upon, he didn't know why, he had forgotten that stone told him that he would be taken to another centre, because since he said it, nothing have happened, so he thought that the guy didn't know what he was saying, but for him to be called up at night, he fears that maybe it is time, so as he got off the floor, he tapped stone, who woke up immediately, but the officer, didn't give the both of them the chance to speak to each other, he dragged Andre by the neck, and cuffed his hands, before taking him away, he looked back and Stone nodded his head. It was a signal for him to remember everything he had told him for the past month and put them into action, it is even better for him, that they are leaving by night, even though he doesn't know why they should make
The first month of her pregnancy was too much pamper from the Peterson family, and even her friends, which was what she was initially worried about, she had always known that they would want to act in such a way, which was why she didn't want to accept within her, that she was actually pregnant. She dressed up and left for her first visit to the hospital, she wanted to leave alone, but just as always, Charles would not let her, he always wants to go with her, or have his guard go with her.She doesn't feel right allowing the guard go everywhere with her, she feels the guy should also have his own life too, but whenever she tells him to take the day off, he would tell her that he never signed to take any day off.She thought of sneaking out of the house, she didn't tell him, she didn't rind her husband that the date given to her had already reached, though they had both been together the previous day, she still didn't tell him, she have over heard him say he was going to the prison to
Charles didn't mind that there were still crowd outside, and though he took the back turn, he knew people would still see him. He knew paparazzi's wouldn't mind, they would always want to find a way to get even inti the private room to know what is wrong with her, so they will be the first to post it, but as soon as he got outside, there was a different car waiting for him, he drove out, while his parents came in another, and the party attendants, didn't even notice a thing, unless one or two persons, that must have seen him leave with her in his arms through the backdoor.He rushed in, still with Rebecca on her arms, and she was taken in, as soon as her back landed on the soft bed, she opened her eyes."What? She asked, but already, someone was attending to her. The doctor injected her, and she closed her eyes, then he took her blood samples, and ran a series of test on her, before the rest of the family member got to the hospital, and they all started waiting patiently for the docto
Upon reaching the venue, there were already a massive crowd waiting for them, it was more like a red carpet, with the press everywhere, Rebecca glared at her husband and shook her head."Do you always have to over do things? "I didn't invite them I swear". He didn't have to swear to her, she knows, that since being the wife of a billionaire, her life would no longer belong to her, it now belongs to every one."I understand dear. You invite one person, and the entire world hears of it. We are just going to make our announcement, and we are out of here". She says, before they signaled to Douglas to open the door, which he did, and the camera clicks on their faces almost blinded her eyes.Charles must have been used to such an event, for he only walked confidently, with one hand in his pocket, while he held his wife with the other.They were immediately welcomed by the crowd."This is a big day, and we are going to start immediately, as our host for today have just arrived". Josh says.
