Sam’s Plan
Laura’s face reverted into a sudden shock as she sat on the sofa opposite Sam and Emily. “Abort? I thought she wanted to confirm if the child’s yours, what’s abortion got to do with that?” Laura was confused, since they went for the test, Amelia hadn’t given her feedback of the result she had no idea if it was really Sam’s child or not. Sam sighed, he wasn’t surprised that Amelia hadn’t said anything to Laura concerning the result and all what they went to do at Derek’s. She was doing everything on her own accord, leaving her mother out of it. “So she didn’t tell you the result was out?” Sam asked, his eyes wide as he gazed at Laura, a little stunned. “I’m still expecting the news, that’s why I’m astonished about what you Just said.” Laura’s voice was starting to sound shaky, she still had a very confused expression on her face.“I’m the owner of the child, Laura, seems your daughter has left you out of the picture; like I promised I had accepted to take responsibility of the chi
Another Meeting
Derek hit the brakes again, but this time it was in front of a small duplex in one of the residential areas in Los Angeles. Derek had never been to Amelia’s house, just like Sam, he knew nothing about her parents either and this was the first time he would be meeting Amelia’s mother. Amelia alighted from the vehicle herself, she didn’t even wait for Derek to come help her like they usually do some few weeks back before the discovery of her pregnancy. They just got back and weren't in sync with their romantic routine and lifestyle. And the worst part was, Amelia really wanted to see her mother, the way Laura sounded on the phone made her heart squeeze. Derek followed Amelia as she walked hurriedly to the front door of the duplex and pushed it open without knocking, stepping into the sitting room, Amelia’s mouth fell agape and as Derek entered to, he regretted the fact that he listened to Amelia. Right in front of them was Laura, Emily and Sam standing near the sofas in the sitting
Change of Hearts
Emily quickly went and held her mother, making her sit on one of the sofas in the room. “You’ve made your point, Amelia, you’ve broken the heart of your own mother, it’s time for you to go.” Emily frowned, patting her shoulder. She was way disappointed in her sister for choosing a man over her mother’s wishes. Amelia felt a sharp pain across her chest, but she didn’t care; she had gone so far that there was no turning back, in fact she didn’t even want to come back. “Let’s go, Derek.” Amelia ordered, despite the heaviness she was feeling in her chest. She had no idea when she’d see her mother again, but in order to stay in the wealthy family game, she had to take this difficult decision.Derek glanced at Sam for a few seconds before turning to leave, only if Sam knew what was coming, he thought. Sam sighed, watching his step brother and ex girlfriend leave the room; knowing fully well what they were about to do, he was hurting so much deep down because he had no idea how to stop
Mutual Understanding
“Keep the child? What are you talking about, Derek?” Amelia was dumbfounded, all of a sudden Derek was changing his mind, after allowing her to disregard her family just because of this child inside of her and now he didn’t want her to remove the child anymore?“You heard me right, Amelia, we keep the child, but for me; and not for Sam. I can’t tell you the details of the plan, but you’ve to trust me, Amelia,” Derek tried to explain as he slowed down the speed of the vehicle, going at a high speed with an argument might allow history repeat itself. “For you? I don’t understand, I need just a little detail, why’d you allow all this to happen if you knew we weren’t going to abort the baby in the first place,” Amelia tackled further, she hates being kept in the dark, and now Derek wanted to do just that to her. “I just got the idea for God’s sake, Amelia, if you keep yelling, we would end up in a ditch this time,” Derek warned, glaring at her; they were one hell of a couple and the few
Suspicion and Curiosity
Derek could barely recognize Joseph Jonathan, his dad’s brother, the man had shaved off all of his hair and was now entirely bald, but Derek had been with Jonathan since he was kid so there was no way he wouldn’t recognize him. Jonathan smiled, shifting his gaze to the woman that stood next to Derek. He was wearing a white T shirt and a blue Jean with brown boots, looking like a cowboy. The lady looked familiar, like he had seen her somewhere before but he couldn’t place it. Elena smiled when she saw how surprised Derek was to see his uncle, this was the special guest she had told him about and today was the day she’d reveal all the secrets to Derek. “Good to see you again, Derek. It’s been a long while,” Jonathan walked towards the dinning and pulled one of the chairs, he sat on it without waiting for any instructions. Today, he would have to put all of his trust on Derek. The butler left them and returned to his duties. “I never knew you were the special guest mum talked about,
The Secrets of Jonathan Joseph
Amelia sat on the bed, after some few minutes she stood up and started pacing the large room; she was restless, but there was no way for her to eavesdrop, the glass rovers that led to the veranda would sell her out if one of them mistakenly looked back. The rovers were so wide that there were no walls to hide behind, what could they be keeping from her, Amelia thought. She went back and sat on the bed, telling herself that she’d ask Derek when he came up. Many things had happened in one day and they were all happening so fast, from disobeying her mother to Derek changing his mind about the abortion and now Derek and his mum were having a secret meeting. Amelia knew that Derek and Sam had a fight over inheritance ongoing but she had no idea how she was part of the plan and why Derek had told her to keep the baby and she was only going to find out when the baby was born. However, this secret meeting with his mother; Derek was going to tell about it tonight, no matter what. …..“So
The Clock Ticks
Derek was certain of what he heard, he stared at Jonathan like someone who just heard a joke. He knew something was fishy since Jonathan came in, but he never expected that it would be of this magnitude. “Is this all a joke or what?” Derek asked, he had a half smile and a half serious expression. Jonathan glanced at Elena, he knew this wouldn’t be an easy task; naturally he didn’t expect Derek to accept this request instantly, it was a very surprising thing, no one would expect Jonathan of all people to seek for Ethan’s inheritance, especially when he’s about to die. It was a big blow to the Cole’s family if Ethan were to find out. “It isn’t a joke, Derek. Jonathan has the connections and resources to make our plan work; all he’s asking for his a compensation in return,” Elena tried to clear the tensed air, but Derek wasn’t having any of it, “I’ve known you for decades uncle Jonathan, if you wanted a part of my fathers wealth or properties, why didn’t you just ask him directly?”
Dark as Night
Charity's heart felt like it hit the body of her chest, someone was trying to kidnap her in blood day light? Was it because of the type of car she now drives? Was this the type of vulnerability the rich had? Charity thought as she slowly crawled into the vehicle, putting her hands in the air. She moved into the passenger’s side while the burglar hopped into the driver’s seat. They had been waiting for her, Charity thought, because the timing was too perfect to be a coincidence. “Just face the other way and place your hands on the door, if you do everything I tell you, Miss Charity, I promise not to hurt you, but if you try to play smart,” Charity heard the back doors opening and it seemed like two other burglars entered the vehicle. “They’d blow your fucking brains all over your car,” the man concluded, then Charity felt the metallic object leaving her waist, but she dared not move. She was trembling so badly, and beads of sweat had gathered around her forehead, who could possibl
