FEW WEEKS LATER She stood up from the bed as she saw him walking into the room. He could see the anxiousness on her face as she hurried towards him. She gave him a quick hug and took the briefcase from his hand. “Honey, you scared me on the phone,” he said as he looked at her face. “Madison was attacked. If not for Jason’s intervention, she might have been kidnapped,” she informed. “What! It’s just a month into their marriage and this is happening?” He asked in dismay as he followed her to the bed. “Yes, they are spending the night over at Jason’s father’s place,” she related. “Didn’t Jason face such an attack earlier this year?” He asked. “Yes, and I’m afraid someone is after their lives,” she said as she sat on the bed, tiredly. “I just hope it’s not because of the company,” he said as he sat beside her. “I think so, honey. It was a well planned attack and suspicions are arising. The company has not even been handed over to them, yet,” she said. “Hmm, I just hope they’re sa

Madison giggled as she watched her walk into the ward that morning. "Hey, why are you so excited? " She asked as she walked into the ward. "This.." she giggled, pointing at the food pack she was holding. "Oh, you think it's yours, right?" She asked. "Why not? " She frowned and she laughed. Madison took the food pack from her as soon as she sat down on the bed. "Wow..," She giggled excitedly as she saw the chicken sauce in the food pack. She pounced on it and they both laughed. "Hungry lion.. "she remarked. "Where's your mom?" She asked. "She went home with Jenny this morning. She'll be back soon, " Madison replied. "And Jason?" She asked again. "I don't know. He called and said he's on his way," she replied. "He likes you..," she voiced and Madison turned to look at her. "What's that supposed to mean?" She frowned. "I saw the worried looks on his face last night. He wasn't himself..," she replied. "And so? He should be worried because I live under his roof and if anything

“I can’t believe you’re sitting here comfortably, spilling in my face that Alex went on a date with another man?!” Mateo’s deep voice sounded on the balcony as he looked at his son who was sitting opposite him, drinking his wine slowly. “What do you want me to do, father? She is a grown up, she has the right to make her own decisions. And I can see that she has chosen who she wants to be with, '' he sounded angrily and let out a sigh. “No, this is hard to believe. Now, you’re letting her walk away from your life so freely?” Mateo asked in dismay. He kept silent and gulped his drink angrily. “Father, Alex has made her choice. I’m not the right man for her! I’m not perfect, I’m still insecure, and I guess she found someone who treats her right, someone who treats her better than I do. So, I figured out, it’s time we go our separate ways. She will bear the baby for me and leave afterwards,” he said angrily. “And why are you in pain? I thought you never loved her?” Mateo asked as he

Afrobeats music could be heard in the club as they both stepped in, with all eyes turned in their direction. Dressed in a long red sleeveless gown, she was looking beautiful that night with her face wearing light makeup and her long artificial hair falling on her shoulders. Beside her was Adrian who was donned in a black tuxedo and oxford shoes. The club light reflected on their faces as they walked to the large table where they could see Madison and the guys who were all seated. She caught sight of them and rushed towards them Immediately. "Alex!! " She exclaimed with her face beaming with a smile. She was dressed beautifully in a long silver dress with her long beautiful face wearing simple makeup. "Awwwn!!!!! Congrats baby!!" Alex exclaimed as they both hugged. Jason and the guys stood up and they all shook hands with Adrian aside from Amos whose face was bittered. "It's a big win for you, Jason, " he said as he shook hands with Jason. "Thanks, man, It's a pleasure having

He stood in the living room pacing with one hand on his waist. Just then, he heard her footsteps from the stairs and he rushed over to the stairs immediately. “The baby’s coming!” She cried and he froze for a moment. “No..no..no..this is not happening! God, why?!” He asked. “Come over here and help me down!” She barked as she threw a big bag down the stairs. “Oh.. God.. why do I have to be the one to suffer for her pains,” he cried as he rushed up the stairs. He tried to lift her up but she hit his head violently. “Help me walk, not carry me!” She yelled. “Okay..okay..sorry,” he muttered as he held her arms and led her down the stairs slowly. “Get Sam. Tell him to get the car ready,” she said as she breathed in and out. “Who..who is Sam?” He asked as he looked up at her face. “He is the driver, for Christ's sake!” She yelled in his face and he dashed out Immediately while she moved over to the couch. She was in labor already and she needed to keep control of her emotions, sh
