The early October sun was hot, carrying with it an intense heat wave that made clothes stick to skin like glue. While everyone complained and moaned about the scorching heat, she loved every bit of it because she could smell the perfect fragrance of blooms in the house.Jessica got ready to set off for work. Finally, after breaking off for about two years now, she felt it was time to return back to take the position from Amanda. Walking into her son's room, she knelt down by his crib, caressed his cheeks, then kissed him all over his face before leaving his room.As she walked down the stairs leading to their living room, her mind wandered to how the boy had grown to develop the features of his father so quickly. At just eleven and a half months old, their resemblance was stunning.She is practically sure he might be developing some of his genes now. "You look beautiful sweetheart." Alonso said, walking behind her without her notice. She wore a styled up shoulder off Gucci brand of c

Note: The following chapters ahead is about the life story of Niel and Drake before their encounter with Jessica. This is to help you have a correct understanding of the story.**********************************************"What are these documents." Niel asked."Those contain information of what the company made last year. Remember this is a new year, we have to keep it safe till we get these year's records before sending this one off." Mr. Lincoln said."Send it off where. Aren't you supposed to keep it to yourself. The company is yours right." Niel asked, confused. He couldn't understand why the same thing happened almost every year. His father will transfer part of the company's income into someone's bank account he knew nothing of.Or could it be his father's mistress? Did his father even have one? No, maybe he had another family somewhere? Those questions had been playing in his head for ages, and he still has got no answers for them."Niel, those money will be transferred into

"Did he agree to it?." The man asked."No, my son declined but I promise I will do everything in my power to make him to." Mr. Lincoln assured"And what if he chooses one of his own, won't that be a disgrace upon my daughter." The man argued."He is my son and he will listen to what I will say and I tell you, only I." Mr. Lincoln replied, clenching his fist in anger. He felt humiliated and embarrassed to even talk about Niel in front of this particular man. This man was known to be a business tycoon, and he knew the only way to be partners with him is if their children connected, but it seems Niel has made up his mind not to do as he says.This was the main reason why he had never accepted his son to be in any relationship with whosoever he decides to be with. Because he already had someone up his sleeves and if they were to be rejected, it would bring chaos in the business industry.On his drive home, their conversation ran through his mind, making him go mad. What do I have to do to

Laughter roared out the entire hall as Niel and his friends toasted to their success. They had all gotten what they wanted, so was in together to extol their victory of becoming what they wanted to be. Niel could now finally take over his father's company by next week, Sam his father's agency and while others like Jake and Osten had been accepted into the model industry. Vigorous job it was for the guys but a drop of sweat brings success."Alright guys I need to leave. My mom might start talking once again." Sam said, taking a last sip from his beer before preparing to set off."Come on, you're joking right?" Osten asked."Why?" Sam asked, completely lost in the joke. He gaped at each and everyone and noticed they had a look that said he was dumb, besotted on their faces."You're in college okay, you need to stop that Mama's thing. Or, someone else will mama you." Jack said, making everyone burst out into series of laughter with the exception of Sam who scratched the back of his neck

"So, that was the beginning of my sad life." Niel said, coming back to time where he and Jessica sat quietly in the hospital room."What is the end like?" Jessica asked with curiosity, making Niel chuckle."Easy sweetheart, I will continue that another time" Niel said turning his head towards the insensible Drake lying serene, almost lifeless on the bed "With the both of you. Just pray he wakes early. The doctor said he needs something that will encourage his spirit. Something precious that can link him back to our world." Niel said and paused as he shrugged his shoulders.There was silence for a while in the room as Niel was thinking of what could probably bring his son back to him."I will bring Nicholas." Jessica said, making Niel turn towards her direction."Who is Nicholas." he asked with a raised brow telltaling one of confusion."The baby." Jessica said "My son..Drake's son." she added, smiling brightly."""This is for you and once again, happy birthday my love." Eduardo said
