Angela was behaving strangely,... She hasn't asked after her boyfriend who have been through hell since she disappeared,..... "I just hope this silly have not opened her legs for one useless boy to impregnate her,. This boy has done alot for her family,....

Something is wrong somewhere ....but her problem right now is the pregnancy,...... "What about her pregnancy? "she asked in a fainting voice " Since she cant remember who impregnated her,... My friend and i have agreed to cater for her and her unborn baby"mama told her "My God will bless you,....... You shall reap the fruit of your labour" Angela's mother prayed for them ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "pls ma, can you explain to me what you're doing with Richard's phone?,....... How in the name of God did it get to you,....." Desmond asked mrs Johnson who was ready for his question,.... "what makes you believe this phone belongs to Richard,..or do you go about accusing people of theft,.... "" "With all due respect ma,..... I didn't call you a thief, i only asked a question,..... " " Detective Desmond,...... This is how you go about poke nosing into other people's matter,....this phone does not belong to Richard, and pls i was on my way out before you came in",...... "I don't know your intention of stealing that phone from Richard,...... But what i don't understand is how you managed to steal it,.... But whatever evil you're planning will backfire ... Your end is near,...... " She looked at him scornfully,..... " You better don't insult me,..... "she didn't complete her sentence when her phone rang,..... " Hello,....yes manager,...... What is it?!!!!!! She screamed at her hotel manager The manager spoke for some seconds and she was listening with all keenness, then she screamed out "What!!!!!!, In my hotel, It cant be,..... I'm on my way right now?,... "she dropped the call and was shivering,....... She hurriedly gave the phone technician some money and zoomed off in her car,...... " Wicked woman,... Only God knows what happened to her hotel,..... I must inform Richard of the new development, this woman is up to something,..."he thought to himself ... He dialled Richard's number but he didn't pick,..... "Maybe he's busy with Angela, i know he cant get enough of her,.... He has really missed her, "he assumed Nancy came down from the cab and went to meet her fiance,..... " Baby, Why are you smiling to yourself, "Nancy asked hugging him " Nothing dear, i was admiring you,... "he lied " hmmmmm, but you weren't gazing at me, you didn't even know when i hugged you,...... " " You're funny,.... Pls let's get going it's getting late,...... Richard must be worried " He collected his mom's phone and they drove off to Ogwashiukwu On their way, there was little traffic jam,..... He heard some drivers talking about a young man that survived a head on collision,...... He didn't pay attention to them,.... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "Mama pls don't leave me yet,... I want you to spend some days with my family,.... I will miss you so much,........" Angela begged mama and her friend who were about leaving "Don't worry my daughter, we'll always visit you,.... We plan lodging in a hotel in Asaba, then we travel back to Lagos tomorrow morning,...... "mama told her " Mama pls,.... Since you said my house is not big enough to accommodate you and your friend, we have good hotels here in my village,.... I'll take you there,.. Then you spend some days with me,...... " The two old women looked at each other,.... They went to a corner " So what do you think about what Angela just said "mama asked her friend "let's just spend three more days with her,..... We can Lodge in a good hotel here, we can be visiting her from there everyday till we leave,..... I want to spend some time with her too,.." her friend told her They agreed to spend some days in her village,... Angela was so happy,..... Desmond and Nancy walked into the sitting room,..... On seeing Nancy,... Angela stared at Nancy trying to remember her,.... Nancy hugged her but she didn't respond,... Desmond greeted everyone and they all sat down,..... Nancy was shocked at Angela 's attitude towards them,..... "Angel, i missed you so much,.... She tried engaging her in a conversation,.... Angela looked at her and smiled,..... Aunty Beatrice called Desmond outside and asked after Richard..... "he' s supposed to be here before me,.... I'm surprised he's not yet here"he answered "I need to see him and talk to him, there's something important he must know,.. " " I'll call him again,...... " Nancy was just staring at the strange new Angela,..... She has added alot of weight,she was glistening she couldn't take her eyes off her ..... She sighted a baby bump,..... She took a closer look at her and confirmed her suspicion,...... The two old women asked who Nancy and Desmond are to Angela,..... Aunty Beatrice took her time to explain to them who they are...... "this is unbelievable,..... So the caller has been her boyfriend,...... I would 've picked his calls,.... So Richard is her boyfriend, no wonder she had a shock when i mentioned his name to her,..... Poor boy,..... "mama said shaking her head in pity Angela returned to the sitting room and everywhere was quiet,.... She suspected they're hiding something from her,.... She sat down " Angela, i've arranged your room for you,.... "her mother informed her,..... She excused herself to meet her mother Desmond was restless due to Richard's absence,.... He continued dialing his number but he wasn't picking,....... His phone rang some minutes later,.... He checked the caller id and heaved a sigh of relieve,.... "thank God he's calling me,.."he muttered to himself,.... He picked it and heard a strange voice "Oh my God, which hospital,? " He cut the phone and announced their exit,.. He told them his friend was involved in an accident,..... Angela's mother felt sorry for him on hearing what happened,... Angela was in her room and wasn't aware of what happened,..... They left promising to be back the next day,...... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^ "Doctor pls, you need to discharge me right now,.. I need to be somewhere right now,.... I must see her and be assured that she's ok,....." Richard begged the doctor "i'm sorry i cant do that, it's unprofessional of me,..... Take a look at yourself, you should be thankful that you only sustained minor injuries,... But that still doesn't mean you're perfect to be discharged,.... We need to wait for your lab results , to be sure that you don't have internal bleeding,... Just wait till tomorrow,.... "the doctor advised him They were still arguing when Desmond and Nancy rushed into his private room,.... " God,.... What happened,..i was shocked you were yet to arrive Angela's house till i received the call..? "Desmond asked him He didn't respond, his gaze was at the door as if he was expecting someone else,...... " how's my Angel?,..... "he asked still looking at the door " She's fine,.... "Desmond managed to answer " wasn't she informed of my accident,.... Is she with you?,..... I know your plan,.... You want to surprise me,.... "he said trying to get up from his bed,..... " I didn't inform her of your accident,..... "Desmond replied He relaxed back on his bed " i understand, you don't want her getting worried, i know she must be calling my other line,..... Let me call aunty Beatrice so that i can talk to Angela and hear her sweet voice,.....So tell me, hope she's ok,....? "he asked smiling Desmond looked at his friend and realized how much he loves his girlfriend, his love for her could be seen in his eyes,... He wondered what he would do when he realises his girlfriend doesn't remember him, ....... " aunty Beatrice has gone back to her house,...... Don't worry i'll drive you to see her tomorrow,... Or i'll bring her to see you,..." A nurse came in and gave him some injections,.... He slept off few minutes later,....... Desmond and Nancy went home exhausted....... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "Madam we're sealing this hotel till our investigations are over,....." the policeman told Mrs Johnson "Officer, you cant just seal my hotel because you found a lady murdered in one of the rooms,.... It's unacceptable "she said angrily She was pacing up and down calling the police commissioner " Madam you can call anybody you want,. This hotel must be sealed!!!!! " " You don't know who you're messing with,.... After dealing with you, i must make sure you loose your job,....... "she threatened him " I'll be happy loosing my job in this fight,...... You have alot to explain to us,..... "the officer replied The commissioner refused picking his calls,.... She could be seen sweating profusely She watched the police vacate all the customers and workers in the hotel,.. Her hotel was sealed up,.......... She watched them drive off She went home devastated,... Her world is beginning to crumble,...... She sat down drinking whisky,.... She remembered all mother supreme supreme told her,....... She was determined to find her husband or better still search for Angela to get her unborn baby,..... She needs to act fast because mother supreme Supremes' revelation has started to manifest,..... ************ Richard 's lab result came out the next day, he was perfect but still has bruises on his forehead,....but to his greatest surprise the doctor refused discharging him,....... He was to be scanned,.... He called Desmond and told him what the doctor said,..... Desmond assured him he would be discharged the next day.. ..... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mrs Johnson took Richard's phone to another phone technician who after alot of stress was able to open the phone,....... She heaved a sigh of relief,.... "Now, i must search for Vanessa's number,.... "she smiled to herself for a job well done,.. .. Immediately she got to her office,...she put her plans into action,... She dialed Vanessa's number and she picked at the first ring,.... " Nessa my daughter "she called her . Vanessa couldn't recognize the voice,..... " Hello,."came her faint voice "It's your mother,...." Vanessa then realized it was her step mother "Who gave you my number?,,,,, After so many months of taking away your slave you finally called,.... "Vanessa shouted at her She heard her step mother sobbing,... She was shocked at her sudden change in Character " Pls forgive me my daughter,... I'm now a born again,.. I've repented, in fact,i want to begin a new life with my family,... I want to reunite my family so that i can have peace of mind,.... I know i've been a bad mother to you and your brother,.... I want correct all my mistakes,.... I don't mind leaving whatever i' m doing here to come and you meet in Ghana, so that i can take care of my loving husband,..... I cant bear to see my husband suffer like this after all he did for me"she said soberly "This is unbelievable,.... You shouldn't be apologizing to me,... You should apologize to your late best friend,.... Do you know the gravity of what you did to my family,.... You almost turned my daddy into an slowpoke,.. How can you be so wicked,..... You think i don't know your secrets,.. You exchanged my daddy's brain for power, wealth and fame,.... You think i wont find out,...i shouldn't be talking to you" "Pls my daughter, i've retraced my steps,... I don't want those things again,.. All i need is my family,... Just tell me where you are in Ghana, and i'll abandon everything to be with you and my husband,.... " " Hmmmm,...... So what about my grandmother?, why did you and daddy fake her death? "she threw at her She wasn't expecting that question from Vanessa,..... " huh?,..... Your grandmother?,.... Faked her death?,... How? " " Seems you've not truly repented,.... Pls don't call me again, have a nice day....... " " Ok, i'll tell you what happened, i was only following my husband's instructions,.... I had to obey him,... He brought up the idea because your grandmother didn't approve of our marriage,.... He wanted a happy home,... So we went to another city to start a new life,.... " " I cant believe this" Mrs Johnson started crying uncontrollably over the phone,..... Vanessa pitied her "Mummy stop crying,.... It's ok,... All i want is a happy family too,... I'll give you the address right away,... Does Richard know about this? " " You know your brother, he doesn't want to see me again,.... He doesn't want to have anything to do with me again,..... Pls don't tell him that i called you because he doesn't want me coming close to his daddy,...if only you can help talk to him but that will be when i'm already in Ghana,... Let this be a secret between us" " There's no problem, just get a pen and paper and write down the address" "I'm ready, "she told Vanessa " Ok,... Emmmmmm,.......... "She heard her house help scream " pls i've got to go,.... I think there's an emergency "she cut the phone without waiting for her response She rushed outside only to see one of her twin drowning in the swimming pool,.. She dived into the water forgetting she was holding her phone,.... She brought the little boy out of the pool , thank God he was still breathing,. Her father rushed out too, and was shocked to see to see Vanessa rushing to her car carrying her twin, he followed her and they drove to the hospital,........ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Richard was tired of staying in the hospital, all he wanted was seeing his girlfriend,... He called aunty Beatrice number but it was switched off,.... He sighed and turned to the other side of the bed to sleep, he still had bandage on his forehead,.. His head was beginning to ache again,..... He was about dozing off when the door to his room opened,.... . Tope walked in and hugged him "Oh my God Richie,.. You didn't tell me you were involved in an accident,... Just take a look at yourself,.... I'm sorry sweetie,.... How did it happen? "she asked him Richard was not just angry, he was also irritated, he just faked a smile " How did you know i was here,... "he managed to ask her " I went to your house and your security guard told me,.... " " That stupid security guard," he murmured to himself "I was on my way to see Angela when it happened " She gave him a shocking look,..." Angela?!!!!!, is she back?,,,,, when,?!" "Yeah, she's back for good,... " " Cant you see that nature doesn't approve of your love for her,.... Just look at what you're passing through all in the name of seeing Angela,.... " Richard wanted to get up and slap her before throwing her out of the room " Are you joking"he asked her "Oh please,...... "she said waving her hand " So when do you plan visiting her, "he asked her " Right away, before you call me a bad friend,..... Take care of yourself,... I'll be here when i return from Angela's village,.... Just tell me what i will get for you,.... " " Tell Angela that i miss her so much, and that no one can take her place in my heart not even you her best friend "he told her She looked at him and frowned " So you expect me to tell her that,.... Have a nice day"she left banging the door ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Angela was at home chatting with her mother, "Have you heard from Tope?, "she asked her mother " No my daughter,.... She hasn't visited, i 'm shocked at her attitude,... She's your best friend,.. ..... I didn't inform her of your disappearance though,..... ".. " She told me she was travelling to Abuja before that incident .. Maybe she travelled They heard a knock and was surprised to see Tope,.... "Angela aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"Tope screamed They hugged each other tightly "Tope, where have you been,... You're looking good" "thanks dear,.... You've added so much weight.... I've been away for sometime and i returned three days ago only for Richard to tell me what happened,...i cried my eyes out...... . I met him in a friend's birthday party today and he told me you're back,..... "she lied to her " Who's Richard? " " Your boyfriend na" "Boyfriend,?...... I don't t have a boyfriend " Tope was shocked,.... Angela excused herself, she saw the baby bump " what, Angela?, pregnant? " Angela's mother explained to Tope her friend's condition,... She smiled inwardly..... " I'll use this opportunity to my advantage,..... So Angela is pregnant with Richard 's baby and she doesn't remember him after her accident, this is interesting,...... "she thought to herself ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mrs Johnson cursed the emergency that made Vanessa cut the call abruptly,... " Why cant i ever be successful with my plans, what is going on,.... I almost got that stupid Vanessa,.... I know she's soft heartened like her useless mother,... I'll focus my attention on her, she's an easy target,...... "she muttered to herself
