While Jennie had been on call with her mother, Mary had happened to be passing by her room to overhear the conversation they were having over the phone. This made her hear the real truth around her pregnancy and Mary marveled at how everything had turned out.She was so excited she could not wait to let Richardson know of the truth and she ran to the man’s room.Knocking on the door, she opened it to find him dressing up for an outing.“Are you going out?” she asked as he nodded.“Yeah,” he sighed in a tired tone. “I have to be at the office again. My grandfather wants me to get his files and he doesn’t want anyone to know about it.”“Before you go I have something to tell you.”He looked at her before shaking his head.“If it’s about what happened this morning, I’ve already forgotten about it. I don’t want to hear it anymore.”“I know but I’m at fault here and I apologize. I just want you to hear me out first.”“You’ll only make me feel guilty for not giving in and I don’t want to d

Michael could not help but notice that Alice’s character towards him had gotten worse. With his suspension and his bank account going down the drain he could see why she was not talking to him anymore. He was not her type and all he did was piss her off even by breathing.He knew he had to bring up his status from time to time by giving her money but if he did not have anything to give to her what was he going to do about it?She went for parties more these days and she had so much money to spend that she would always arrive with a souvenir from her numerous dates.He had tried asking her about where she was getting the money from but he had gotten ignored a lot of the times that he was now seeing himself as less of a man.Just recently his electricity bills had been left outstanding and when they had removed the electricity, she had been the one to pay for it. He could tell that he was losing respect in front of her and he wanted so bad to redeem himself.He had gone back to the off

But he was wrong to think that his parents would listen to his pathetic excuses.They took one look at him and his mother went back to sit on her seat, taking out the papers to look through.“When you’re done with your theatrics, see yourself out,” his father said in a cold low tone, his eyes filled with hatred and disappointment. “I can’t stand looking at you.”Michael could not understand what he had just heard. Had his father just pushed him away?Did his father not care about his pleas? What was going on?“Dad…” he blurted out as the man banged his hand against the table sending a wave around the room.“Get out!” The man’s voice thundered which got Michael shivering to the ground. He had seen his father furious but this had to be on another level. His father had not been this furious at him before.He stood to his feet and found his way out of the house as he started for the bus station.He put his hands into his pocket to find out all he had was five dollars. That was not going t

She could tell that she had ruined her chances with him. All he had done was love her without having any other thing to do with anybody else and she had broken his heart by dating his best friend and throwing him into jail with false allegations. She could see why he did not want anything to do with her and she wanted to repair the damage she had caused.The next time they would meet, she would put the blame on Michael and get herself into his good graces. That was the best she could think of. Michael would need to take one for the team.She was not going to die poor because of a mistake she made earlier, she would get out of the mess she was in, one way or another.Alice, now tired of seeing her face in the mirror, decided to walk out of the bar’s restroom as she walked out of the bar, heading for a restaurant to see Jennie getting into it.“Well, speak of the devil,” she muttered under her breath as she followed the woman into the restaurant to talk to her.As she found her sitting

Michael stared at her for sometime before bursting into laughter shocking Alice for she had not seen that reaction coming. She had expected that he would accept her pleas as usual and they would hug, kiss and make up and get back to the apartment to have mind blowing sex. But instead he had laughed in her face which was like a slap to her. Why was he acting so strangely?“What? You thought you would just crawl back to me after insulting me like I was a child a few days ago?” he asked. “Please, get real. I am not a child.”“Baby, let’s not do this here,” she said, being self conscious of how the public was looking at them.“Oh shut up,” he hissed. “Now they are your biggest concern. Do you know how many times I have begged for your love and attention and all I’ve gotten were scraps? Do you know how many times I wanted to be seen by you? “I loved you for a long time, Alice. Sometimes I would get you food to starve, that was how much I loved you. I got cursed by my parents, I got laid
