*Alex*  "Good Morning, Mr Williams. You arrived quiet early... Did you fly in at midnight?" Mr Jones, our most competent family doctor said, rising up to shake my hands with much enthusiasm.  I had woken up early this morning to take a flight to Abuja, where Mr Jones resided. I had called him the night after I had found out that Sola had a child. A real living child. I'd done so because I needed to get a chance to leave Lagos, because I couldn't trust my self not to go after Sola immediately and cause more problems.  "Yes, Mr Jones. I had to quickly land early because I have some urgent matters to take care of. I just needed to quickly see you for a few minutes before I leave." I explained and sat as he lead me to the dining room of his apartment."Alright, sir. Can I offer you anything?" he asked, smiling widely.  "No, no.. I'm goo

*Sola*    If I'd been told a month ago, that my life turn out like this, I would have laughed at the dummy who predicted it. It was all so.. Surreal, it was like a figment of my imagination, Watching my life change completely.   My life had originally changed completely after I found out that I was expecting a baby. And it had changed even more after I gave birth to my adorable prince. The boy I would give my life for in a second.  From the day I gave birth to my Afin baby boy, I'd known life would be better for me. I'd known for a fact that the depression, the pain, the suffering that was meant for me after my life came crashing down would stop. Justin was like the sun. He came into my life with his innocent heart and heartwarming smiles, he brightened up my life.  I watched him with a shaky smile as he played wholeheartedly with his long

*Sola*  "I'm really hurt and disappointed that you would think of hiding this from me Sola. All these times that I've asked, you kept saying Justin's father is out of the picture. Now it turns out that the man I'm selling my company to, is the father?"   I kept my eyes downcast in shame and embarrassment as Mr Jimmy scolded me. The guilt I was feeling was so much that I couldn't bring myself to look at him straight in the eye."I'm really sorry, Mr Jimmy. I just... I just wanted to tell you, so you wouldn't find out from another source later and be furious with me." I explained in a sober voice. He'd asked me this morning if there was an affair going on between me and Alex. I'd panicked and confessed everything to him, worried that he would find out one way or another.   He sighed and took my hand from the other side of the table. I raised my head up to look at

*Alex*  For The fifteenth time, I dialed Sola's number. She wasn't picking. I was so worried that I canceled all my evening appointments and business meetings and even my friendly visit to Ekene's so I could go home to meet her.   "Drive faster Silas! I don't understand why you're romancing the road!" I snapped at my driver. I was so anxious to get home.   "Sorry, sir. We're almost there" he replied anxiously.20 minutes later, I got to Fayo's home. I quickly let myself in, passing a brief greeting to the security man.   "Alex! What did you do this time?!" I frowned at Fayo in confusion. She looked furious with me."What do you mean?" I asked confusingly."Sola came in crying! She has refused to speak to me. And I know it must have been something you did!"  "Darling, please calm

*Sola* SCORE ONE for state-run hospitals, was all I could think of as we arrived. Kalu kept trying to calm down his heavily pregnant wife as she walked around impatiently.  We were still standing at the reception, waiting for the nurse to admit our identity and take us to where Alex and his friend, Ekene was. Fayo had also spoken to their mom and dad a few minutes ago...And they'd said they would be there first thing in the morning. I hadn't been able to calm my nerves at the thought of meeting with Alex's parents for the first time. Fayo noticed too.  "Don't worry, Sola. My parents are unproblematic people. They won't give you issues as long as you don't give them."  "But.. But Fayo... They'll blame me! I'm the cause of all this. If I hadn't stupidly told him to get out...""Just calm down, Sola. Mistakes happen. I just hope
