Andy, Roland, Jesse , Tomika , Stella sat in the sitting room with glasses of wine in their hands they where celebrating the birth of Stella's daughter.
Tomika's son was two years and Stella and Jesse got married and just gave birth to a baby girl.
"Am sorry to bring this up but, has anyone seen or heard from Rachel ?it's been three years already. Jesse asked sadly
"Don't bring her up you know what that name does to Andy. Roland replied
"No it's alright, Andy scoffed and dropped his glass of wine on the table
"I just can't believe she isn't here anymore , Tomika said
"Me too she was a light and so nice, Stella replied
"Yh she was and she might still be , I feel bad for what I did till now, Jesse replied
"Don't hurt yourself about it babe, Stella replied
"I know but still hmm, who knows if she is still alive
Immediately Jesse said those words everyone froze they where all in deep thought
"Come on bro don't say that , what did Andy figure out that time huh? I think it was two years back
"Yh Rolland is right , we found out she was in a Catholic Church , the bitch later gave her life to Christ obviously she had to she was an adulterer
"Andy that's to harsh
"Stay out of this Tomika
"Come on guys I just gave birth three days ago let's be in a happy mood not this type of mood.Rachel POV
I knelt down close to the alter I have been crying for some time now. Praying to God it's been two weeks since I got the medical report I felt lost I have been praying to God I read all the chapters and verses in the Bible that contains Jesus healing the sick or raising the death in all forms , so why is my own different why am I still afflicted does God really love me I began to question him until I got too understand that everything happens for a reason and not everyone deserves a happy ending I got to understand no one question God all he does is for our good he is also protecting me from what's to come so instead he wants to take me home too him he wants my faith to become strong and he will give me a second chance to live in my next life to come he wants me to forgive everyone find peace and be free.
At least that's what sister Rebecca told me she prayed for me consoled me and tried to make awful jokes but In a way it was funny it lightens up my mood she advised me on what to do I accepted my fate telling myself I won't cry but I will forgive those that needed it I will also forgive and love myself. So I went to the particular restaurant when all of us used to go too including Andy's friends and Ortega and Jennifer surprisingly I was correct they where all there.
It's been years since I step my feet in Abuja cause I have been staying in Lagos everything seems different ,coming back here brings back old memories open up wounds both old and new I don't think I can do this I thought to my self but I still did I wrote a letter to all of them and sent to their email but none of them reply it was heart breaking anyways what was I expecting it's not like they didn't do it before I still remember all those years in my suffering I always show up at Andy's house both old and new but he never opened up or accept to see me ,that continued until he moved away and till now I don't know where he is or any of them.
I stood close to my laptop as I saw that among everyone I tried to reach out too only Jennifer accepted my offer and next week we would meet up.
Ortega's POV
I smiled at my son watching him play and drive in his red latest model toy car , he was so lively and happy he is three years plus now I know at first I just took him from Rachel because I wanted to make her pay but right now ever since I took him in he was my all I really loved him and would give him the best.
This days I notice he isn't that playful as he used to be he looked pale I wonder what was wrong I thought to myself , I was deep in my thought when I heard a scream I realized it was the nanny I noticed that Bright was on the floor he looked unconscious I rushed to him we immediately drove to the hospital.
Moments later the doctor arrived and asked who the guardian was I approached him and he told me my son lacked blood in his body I was shocked at first cause how could that be possible he eats well without further argument the doctor told me he would need a blood transfusion but since he was O he needed someone who was O I remember that I was also O I was overjoyed the doctor say I would have to go true some tests first and to also see if the blood fits first.
So after everything I waited outside the doctor called me into his office he had a frown on his face I came in and sat down I was worried.
"Doctor why are we here ? Shouldn't we be in the process of transfusion or is something wrong? Cause time is going we need to hasten up
"Sir you need to calm down
"Don't fucking tell me to calm down don't you dare , I screamed at him, if anything happens to my son I would hold you responsible I will sue you and sue this God damn hospital , I stood up as I banged my hands on his table making the doctor flinch a little his expression says that he was used to this a lot
"Sir please seat down I have something important to tell you
"What is it?
"Sir you don't need to worry we already started the blood transfusion he is receiving blood as we speak he is safe and sound
"What do you mean receiving blood ? Wasn't it supposed to be my blood what on earth is happening open your fucking mouth stop beating around the bush and tell me what's wrong
"He is not your son
"What? I screamed out his words made my legs weaken I forcefully sat down in shock my heart skipped a bit , what the fuck do you mean he is n.... , I couldn't even complete the words it sounded outrageous
"Sir take this
"What is this? I asked taking the white documents
"According to our test the DNA results shows that he is definitely most definitely not your son in any form of way he isn't even related to you nothing at all
"What how is that possible ?that's a lie he is my son can't you see he looks just like me except....I was in deep thoughts except if he was Andy's child maybe she was already pregnant without knowing when we slept with each other it's just the date confused us oh fuck
"Sir are you alright?
"Do I look alright to you huh? Dumb assI quickly took out my phone in shaky hands and called Jennifer
"Hello I wonder why you called now after all this years . She laughed
"Stop it I need you to do something for me
"Obviously you only call when you need me, you don't say it like that and command me you ask me for help ,understood ? Don't ever speak to me like that ever again
"Enough of all this I understand and am sorry but I really need your help there is fire on the mountain
"What is it?
"I need you to get Andy's DNA for me
"Andy's what? Guy I don't understand
"I mean get me either Andy's saliva or his sweat or his hair
"What why how would I do that?
"I don't fucking know just do your thing and come to the National hospital close to the roundabout
"Hospital? Who is at the hospital is anyone hurt
"Just fucking get it and come here now. I cut of the callHospital
"What does Andy come in all this? Jennifer asked
"Are you that dumb isn't it obvious? I asked her and at first she was furious glaring at me then her eyes widen as she stared at me in shock
"Wait are you saying, she gasp, oh my goodness. So that child is Andy's child and not yours, I nodded my head as she covered her mouth using her hand to prevent the scream that was about to escape from her mouth
"Yes that's it , but to be sure let's wait for the test
The doctor came out in the evening the test was exactly what we assumed Bright was not my son but he was Andy's.Hello 👋 guys I hope you love this chapter please don't give up on my book and don't copy my hard work I pray this book go far and get used for a movie, please comment, share , vote and add up to your reading list's thank you 🙏 enjoy 😊.
