CATHERINE"What do you think you're doing, you pompous jerk?!" I fumed as I approached Phil Pillax.The man would not let me rest. Now he had me leaving my home to this same bridge in the middle of the night. "Are you ready to work for me or not?" Just like me, he had his identity concealed.Even though it was midnight, no single soul on the road, one still had to be careful. There could also be the ones who might be walking home or wherever by this time of the night. The street lights were doing enough to keep the night bright. One could see well enough."No! Call me a million times, it's still no! I came all the way here to tell you that. Good night and good bye forever, Mr. Pillax!" My tone sharp and pissed.I turned on my heel, heading for home. "I think this will help change your mind." He said casually. "Nothing will change my mind." I threw a venomous glance over my shoulder."You're

"Hailey?" Uncle Pete shot up from his seat, a worried look on his face as he approached me. I sidestepped, avoiding any contact with him and walked upstairs to my room, not saying to him. Anger boiled and brewed as this sense of betrayal did.He would know. Uncle Pete would know it wasn't Jared who had taken advantage of me. He had always known of Jerome, after all he was their uncle. No wonder Jared had been angry and confused that day at the restaurant.It was because it wasn't him. Yet no one said anything to me six years ago. They let me make a fool of myself!"Hailey." His voice followed me upstairs as I heard the urgent padding of his feet to meet up with me.My pair of slippers was in my hand, same with my glasses. I opened my room and walked inside."Hailey, what's wrong wi..."I jammed the door in his face without waiting for him to finish his question. Today was an eventful one.The Johnson family was just unbelievable! Each and every one of them!Jerome was the one who

PETER"Mommy?" Zion opened his eyes to my delight. At least, we had one of them back to us. It was a win, a huge one.  My heart still broke for little Zaya whom the doctor had no idea if she would ever wake up from what she'd termed a 'death-sleep'. Many never do, she had confessed, and it was even worse in children. There had been no record of any child who had survived the 'death-sleep'. The pediatrician had explained that 'death-sleep' was just as the name implied. The patients were not exactly dead but they weren't considered alive as well. They just hang on the balance which more often than not tipped to the side of death.She had advised we pull the plug but Hailey had insisted to leave it and I supported her."Hey baby. You're awake." Hailey hugged him so tight I thought she would not let go but she finally did and kissed his forehead.Zion looked at me. "Daddy?"I was not

JARED"You can not fold your hands and watch her take your children away, Jared." Mom was in her usual angry mode whenever she wasn't getting what she wanted."Mom, stop it. Okay? It's enough." I was trying to think of a better solution."I'm trying to be helpful here." She eyed me unhappily."But you're making matters worse. Uncle Pete is right. We wronged that girl, we should be apologizing to her not making matters worse."I had thought of everything uncle Pete had said and I'd reminisced on the past, I was ashamed of how low I'd sunk myself to treat her that way.Even though she had accused me of being responsible for her pregnancy, it wasn't enough reason to treat her like that. She had lost her first pregnancy and all I had done was stand against her. The second one which I knew I was responsible for, I'd asked her to abort without a thought to her feelings.She had once confessed to being in love with me and in every way, she had shown me but I had turned a blind eye because I

"Hello, ma'am."The young guy I'd employed recently to work for me discreetly greeted as soon as my car stopped at the spot I'd asked him to meet me.It was a deserted place that had old, abandoned houses and other buildings. It used to be a residential area from the looks of it but now was like no man's island.He was already there, waiting for me. I had just finished from the restaurant and came out to meet him. "Hi, Kazim."He was a Muslim and a Pakistani. He had come highly recommended. He was not more than twenty two but was very good.I also liked the fact he wasn't much of a talker. At least, it won't be me doing the spilling of our secret business. He handed me an envelope. "The information you need, ma'am.""Thank you." I took it and brought out its contents to peruse. My eyes widened in surprise at what I saw, I raised my head to meet his eyes. "Are you sure this is the right information?""Yes, ma'am." He simply replied.So Catherine had a son. Perfect! Such a pity he wa
