CHAPTER 31I feel bad because mom is sad and I feel I should  ask her for the reason for her tears but another voice In my hands says not to ask her. I'm scared for the response. What if it's because of me? Or did Johnson break up with her because of me? I wasn't fair the way I made her feel about having a new partner.“Freya” Rob calls from outside the house. I sigh.“I’m on my way. Give me five minutes” I scream from across the house. I make my way to her room to talk to her before leaving. I can't leave my mum like that. She's everything to me.“Mum,” I say as I knock on her door.“Come in” She permits me to go into her room."Mom?" I call again but she did not raise her head up to look me in the face. "Why are you crying?" I sit beside her. She is sitting on her bed.She shakes her head. "Everything, Freya. Everything isn't going as planned. I never thought I would get to fall in love again. I thought I would be able to handle Rob too but I am

CHAPTER 33I woke up on the good side of the bed today. I had no idea why I was happy. Maybe because I now knew my baby is going to be a baby boy. Something I had being anxious to figure out and now that I know I don't even know where to begin. At this point, I will need my mum to help because the only person I know here that will be willing to help does not know I am pregnant. It is very selfish of me to do. Over the past months, Andre has made his interest in me obvious. He didn't tell me he liked me or anything but I just had the feeling and I feel like I have been leading him on? I'm I? I like him too so I'm not I try to convince myself so I would feel better about myself.  I am just at peace with myself and happy. I know seeing my baby boy has helped reduce a little of my fear about the future. I do not know what the future holds for me and the baby but I am optimistic. Even though the baby's father is a motherfucker.   I whistle in the bathroom, as

CHAPTER 35Yeaterday's event was making me have a mixed feeling of dread and hope. I am scared it will repeat itself again. As much as I did not want to think of it, I did. That type of situation is not easy to just let go of. It is obvious the hatred Michelle has for me is deep and there is absolutely nothing I can say to win her over. I didn't even want to but she has to stop calling me names. Isn't she supposed to like me for leaving the stupid Baxter for her? She can have him all to herself, I don't care.I know I am going to see her the moment I enter the company before heading to my office. I alight from my car and I enter the office, I plaster a smile on my face and saunter in with confidence.My heels is making a clacking sound attracting the attention of Michelle at the front desk and one other girl that I have never seen before. My smile widen and I say to them, "Good morning.""Good morning, slut", Michelle and the girl smile.The smile on my face vanish an

CHAPTER 37After lunch yesterday, Andre brought me back to the office so I could finish  up my work before going home. He made sure to cheer me up, throwing silly jokes and teasing me. I smile  when I remember how the lunch went. A great way to get my mind off things.      After getting comfortable with him, I told him about my brother and he asks if that was why I have been moody since I came back from home but I told him yes. He promised to help.I just came into the office this morning to see a rose waiting on my table. I pick it up and sniff the bonquet. There is a little note attached to it, so I pick it up and it read, "Good morning, beautiful."    I smile. I know it is from Andre. There is no other person who calls me that except him. Even Baxter has never called me that. I am glad Andre is in my life, even though he is my boss, I find a friend in him. He is ever ready to listen to whatever is bothering me, he is caring

CHAPTER 39"I mean we are going to act like we are getting married which we will. When we get married it won’t be considered wrong”He explains."Andre, that's ridiculous. Why will you do this?” I ask."That's the best way to stop this." He says to me."No. There has to be another way. You don't need to do this. I don't want to get things complicated. You have an image to maintain, please", I stand up abruptly from his hold. "It won't work.""It will, Freya." He is says with a frown.   I sighed and fold my arms, as I pace round the room. My face was dry and my beat of my heart is loud.I hear him stand up. He spun me around to face him. I don't want to look him in the eyes. He is sacrificing too much to help me. What will happen if his family finds out?"Look at me, Freya", he says softly.    I look up at him and my eyes fell on his lips instantly. If we are to act like real couples, then he is going to be kissing me more frequently
