Chapter 29

Where is that good for nothing husband of yours my father asks ?

Father he isn't good for nothing, you just spoke about him having ties with the mafia,and that is good for us ,he will be here soon I already called to tell him where I was .

My father sighs and relaxers his back into the cushion he was sitted on,I don't trust him you know.

I know that you have never trusted him but why ? I ask him not really searching for an answer.

He will be the father of your frand child soon you know.

My mother who had been silent all the while spoke before the room fell quiet ,she was only concerned about the baby and everything it got mentioned she would speak .

I think we should take it easy on the man ,he could be useful.

Thank you mom ,I say and then realize it later and then I say it again slowly,it feels like a dream, my mom had never felt the need to be on my side and all of a sudden she is sticking up for me and not only me,for my husband too.

We hear a knock on the door and one of the maids attend to it ,Arnold walks in and flashes a smile which disappears immediately he sees my father.

He's eyes dart towards me as my father continues to accuse him of a hundred and one crimes that he had committed just for marrying me .

I act weak ,I make him pity me,he has to for the future for our baby ,he has to stay with me for me ,so I make him see my other side ,the side he can protect ,the side he has been hoping for all this while .

He moves closer and I could still feel hid eyes on my body when he asks my father to conduct a DN A test just like my father had suggested earlier and my heart skipped ,I could only but think of it being negative and I would pause thinking about how my life would change ,I have my own companies and fashion studios but then losing my inheritance would deal a huge blow ,unless the person who would ......uhhh.

Arnold was Making his way out of the house now and all I could think odlf was which lady he was going to meet up with now .

I ran a check through his office and there was no one ....

Wait there was one ,there is one I can not battle with ,a friend that is a foe ,she holds the cards I need and if she has any interest in Arnold all I should do is exploit not get jealous .

And as I thought about Ella whom I had chosen to be his secretary knowing she would not be a threat I also asked her to share with me his daily schedule which she happily sent every day since he started work.

And I know that wench Sofia gad been coming to his office but still I knew her from before so I wasn't worried because that was how she came to mine too when I was still the boss .

She only cared about her shipment and the cooperation laundering her money ,the rest she left for us to think about .

She owned almost half of the shares in the dale cooperation and ever since we have been acquainted she had never for once accepted a social call from me or my father.

From all I know she would not stoop so low to sleep with Arnold.

I will be staying here for the night I tell my mother ,she looks at me in askance and then I continue,I can't go anywhere today besides I am feeling a little bit sick.

She calls Cody to instruct the mails to get ready the guest room for me but I decline and tell her I would like to use my old room.

"But honey it is too small for you", my father insisted .
We will keep it for our grand child my mom announces.

I would be using ot first this night .

Cody 0repare her room for her my father tells him,he disappear immediately.

I look at my phone which I had changed to silent mode ,the calls where piling and I knew they all were not calling to check up on me but to know if the rumor was true.

Most of the numbers were not saved on my phone ,the number of missed calls on my my phone push up was increasing drastically, so I switched it off.

I knew the unknown numbers would be media editors and reporters begging for an exclusive .

The only reason I would do so would be because monalisa gad advised it and since Mona had not called yet I know she too would be waiting for the test .

And just thinking about it my heart sinks again.

Queeenie have you started baby shopping my mom asked pulling back to reality.

No I haven't, I reply her a bit irritated by the question,I don't feel like talking about tge baby especially with her ,after all she had done to me.

We could go together, I know you don't really know how to do such things and since it is your first child and our first grand child ,I will love to help you out with it .

Mom,I will give you a call when I check and confirm if it is a boy or a girl, then we can begin shopping.

Queenie we can get both for a girl and a boy ,why not we do just that instead of waiting patiently .

I will inform you mom when I am ready for that,I need to rest I tell her as I stans and walk upstairs ,I feel thier eyes follow me.

I go up into my room and then I lie down on my bed,it seemed the sheets were just changed

The scent was exquisite and it made me hungry ,i dial the kitchen and tell them what I want .
