*Sola*  I bit my lower lip in mortification as Mrs Williams gasped with shock and turned to stare at me, sizzling me up and down. Alex had just insensitively told them about Justin."Did you say... Son?" Mrs Williams asked, staring back at her son with disbelief."Yes, mom. Three years ago, Sola gave birth to a boy named Justin. And I'm his father." Alex explained unapologetically.    Mr Williams came to stand beside his wife and placed his arms around her stiff shoulders. "Now, calm down Elizabeth. Don't forget about your high blood pressure." he said in a soothing voice.  "How can I calm down?! Our son has a son and we don't even know. We have a grandson, AJ!" Mrs Williams said to her husband. She looked like she might explode. If not for Alex that was still holding me so tightly, I would have jumped out of the room through the nearby window.

*Sola*    Two hours later, I'd managed to get some of the flour out of my hair and underwear. I glared at the two annoying men who did this to me. Justin was hooked tightly under Alex's arms, while Fayokunmi and her husband kept laughing out their lungs. This was all so funny for them.  "This is not funny for me at all oh, Fayo stop laughing with them!" I bellowed in frustration.  "I..I'm just so sorry!" Fayo exclaimed as she broke into laughter again. I glared at her indignantly. I was so annoyed that I walked out of the palour and entered my room, where Amina was still sleeping and snoring like an orge.I quickly dashed into the bathroom and took a long shower, before moving back out to the palour where the rest had gathered around to eat breakfast. Amina had also gotten up as well.   I glanced at all the faces on the table, and felt a strong sense of peace. Amina

*Alex*   The moment I got outside the hall to pick the call, I knew something had gone horribly wrong. "Hello?" I spoke silently into the phone, hoping to get a swift response. The number had picked but was still silent. I held my breath, waiting and for a response.    "Hello? Who am I speaking to?" I repeated in a firmer voice. I was beginning to get impatient. "You wish to know Clara's location." It was a female voice. The voice was a bit thicker to quickly decipher, but I eventually knew who it was. I would recognize that taunting tilt in her voice. It was Caroline.   "Caroline," I murmured in an angry voice. "I am quite surprised that you would still recognize my voice by now, honey. Is that a sign that you still miss me?" She asked with a soft chuckle, like she was enjoying

*Sola*  I gulped and turned to Alex, dropping my phone speedily into my pockets as I thought of what to say to him.   "Alex!... I... Um..." I was stuttering. I quickly scratched my brain to think of a reply. "Tell you that,... Amina likes your friend..!" I quipped in quickly.  I saw his face relax in an easy, charming smile. He was so handsome and his olive skin was a perfect contrast to his dark, hooded eyes. I loved this man so much. This perfect man who would do anything for me. I needed to protect him now, I couldn't care what would happen to me in the process. He moved in slowly, still smiling at me with his hands tucked in his pockets.  "Have you been crying?" He asked as he wrapped one arm around my waist to pull me in. I moved happily into his warm embrace and breathed in his wonderful scent. He was like my save haven. 

     *Sola*   Caroline turned to me and smiled wickedly. I gulped as she took in my situation. I knew what she would do next.   "You bitch! You killed Clara!" I screamed at her. She laughed lightly and edged closer to me a bit. "Relax, Sola. She'll probably just loose her legs. That will teach her never to betray her partner next time."  She stalked to where Justin was. "Now, it's time for him to jump downstairs too." she said with a cynical tone and picked him up."He's such a sleeper. I guess the pill worked too well."  "No! No, please drop my son! Please I beg you! Just.. Kill me! But please... Let him go! " I screamed as she carried my son and walked towards th
