A stroll to the park was something Kayla would do over the weekend, and she feels bored and trapped now that Peter is away on a trip and would not be back on Sunday evening. She stared out the window and wondered what on earth would make her stay indoors. The nurse had told her that she was fine, and she could also feel it in her body that she was very much okay. She took her bath, dressed up to leave home after eating, when her phone rang. She took slow, sluggish steps to see who was calling. The moment she saw her mother's number, she braced up, and a strange strength took over her bones. "Hello, mom,” she said into the phone and scoffed, even though her heart was pumping hard.“Kayla, how are you doing? It's been months, and you haven't shown up yet at the house. Is everything okay?” Her mother asked her over the phone. “I'm alright”. Kayla answered, scratching her head as she spoke."Baby, you sound really weak. Are you sure everything is fine with you?” “Yes ma'am. I am just

About forty-five minutes after Kayla got off the phone with Peter, she lay on the bed too tired to do anything. Her laptop was there, looking at her with the jobs she had to deliver to her boss, still sitting pretty unattended. She sighed heavily and got up. She packed the pillows and made a soft sitting position for herself. That was all she needed to be comfortable with what she was about to do. She pulled the laptop from the desk and placed it on the bed. She had to finish the job before her boss called her again. But as she remembered the scene at the park, she drifted back into reverie.“What did he plan to do? Victor knew the only place he would locate her was that exact spit they had shared for years, almost every other weekend while they were an item. He remembered every little detail about her, and that could only tell one thing: that he has not moved on with his life yet, or was it that difficult for him to accept the fact that Kayla had dumped his sorry spoilt ass for his c

By morning, Peter felt much better than he had been in the middle of the night. When Kayla woke up, he was sleeping peacefully, so she decided not to wake him up. She has been in his place for a couple of days, and she would really need to go home to get a few things.She got into the bathroom and brushed her teeth.Meanwhile, when she left, Peter woke up and raced his hand on her space beside him with his eyes shot, and when he didn't feel her around, he opened his eyes and sighed. Wondering where she must have gone as early as this, he sat up on the bed and stared at the bathroom door. The door opened gradually, as though she had felt it in her spirit that Peter was awake and waiting for her.“Hey. Are you awake?” She asked him when she finally got a glimpse of him sitting up right on the bed. “I am away, Kayla. I hope you slept well." He asked her.“I guess I did a little, but not with the way you kept tossing and turning and groaning like someone was in pain." She replied to him

“It's beautiful, and it has diamonds.” She twinkled her fingers and smiled at them. Then she suddenly went gloomy again.Surprised at her sudden change in demeanor, Peter asked, “What? You ‐ don't like it?” He stuttered the question.“Not that”. She took a deep breath. “We should have been married before this baby set in. You know it's some kind of family ethics, and I just broke it. I feel really bad, and I don't know how mom would take it,” she complained, still looking at the beautiful diamond ring sitting pretty on her finger. “I understand, but trust me, everything will be fine. I had no idea about this family ritual thing, and you never mentioned it. I would have been more careful, Kay. But it has already happened, and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it except get rid of the baby. Is that what you want?” “An abortion? Over my dead body. I could never do a thing as horrible as that to my innocent child.”.“Good. So that leaves us with the option of facing your paren

At exactly a few minutes past twelve, Alex knocked on Kayla's door.Kayla, who had forgotten she had fixed a date with Alex, looked at her stunned as to why she would come into her office during lunch break.“What? We have a date, remember?” Alex quickly quenched Kayla's curiosity. “Oh, that's true, and I totally forgot we had plans." She said that and began to pack her things. She turned off her system and moved out. “So where are we going? The canteen?” “No way… You are way bigger than that canteen. I shall take you somewhere really nice, down the streets for about a few blocks. But we will ride in your car." Alex told her.“Sure, that's a sure thing." Alex was super excited about her boss's growth. No one could do it better than Peter. Sometimes she wonders if she will ever get a man as determined and intentional as him. She took a deep breath and helped Kayla with the door. As they strolled out, they met a few other colleagues who had seen Kayla drive into the premises with her
