He drew near and circled his hands around my waist, his dark eyes piercing into mine."I just wanted to guess your password. I really need to see the photos I took yesterday" I lied and he grinned."Come here" he pulled me to his body before carrying me up. I giggled as he took me to our bedroom and dropped me on the bed.He didn't waste time in pulling off my clothes.. He was so fast that in no time, we were both unclad having a great time. • • • • • STELLA • • • • • •I opened my weak eyes and sat up feeling so much pains and heaviness.I felt something strong beside me..I reached for it but slowly cause I was weak. A small pho

• • • • JEREMY • • • • • •I stood close to the doctor in the bedroom who took a look at Stella. There were nurses too and they brought with them - a big machine and other props.I had the door locked cause there were many people downstairs eager to see her.Her dad, my parents and three of our relatives.I just don't want them to hurt my wife again.Tristan. My own flesh and blood could do this to me. Am done trusting people. I don't even trust my mom anymore.I heard a knock on the door and I went to it. I opened the door to meet Jeffrey there."Bro...your mom just wants you to come down. Please...she's your mother. I don't have one but I know they're damn important" he said and I took a deep breath.I left the room and shut the door. I followed him downstairs.Mom rushed to me. "How is she doi

• • • • STELLA • • • • •I panicked dropping the phone.“Babe, what’s wrong?” Jeremy asked rushing to me.I sobbed softly staring down at my legs. He held onto me and stroke my hair.“Love, relax… What’s wrong?” He asked and I scoffed in amidst tears.“Can’t you see the blood? I'm bleeding Jeremy…my baby…” I couldn’t say more as I continued crying.“Stella…calm down. Where’s the blood?” He asked looking at my legs.He took a stare of my pu**y area and glanced up at me.“There is no blood” He said and I stopped sobbing.“But I saw it…” I murmured as more tears came down from my weak eyes.“You were imagining it, love. You’re not bleeding” He said and laid beside me on the bed.He wiped my tears and kissed me. I dropped my head on his chest staring into nothing.“Nothing will happen to our baby. Stop being

Stella’s look alike. There’s no doubt that girl will loose her baby and worse, she might die just like her pathetic mother” I rasped.“Teresa…She’ve not even stepped out of the emergency room. How can you pray for such upon the girl you very much know your son is Inlove with?” He asked and I scoffed.“I know you’ll go against me. You always do…But just know am doing this for

• • • • • • STELLA • • • • • • • •Jeremy and I walked into Jeffery’s house holding hands. At least, I no longer feel like sending him to an early grave.Peter was on the couch smoking. He had his eyes closed as he exhaled the smoke.“Hey Pete, long time” Jeremy said and tried going close to him but I stopped him.“I'm pregnant Jeremy. The cigarette smoke is not good for me” I blurted out with a crumpled look and he breathed out an ‘oh’.We retreated and went to the dinning where Jeffrey was and surprisingly shirtless. Is Nina sleeping with him too?? He was occupied spreading butter on a slice of bread.“Welcome, guys” He greeted and I smiled broadly.“Hey, Jeffrey. Thanks for coming to the hospital after my surgery” I said and he winked at me."No problem, you're now family just in case you don't know. And you don't have a choice but to accept, little mrs" He remarked
