Loving The Playboy (Christian Romance)

Chapter fourteen

*******

After Micheal left Crystal's office, he rushed to the hospital were he dropped Lillian off for the DNA test. He was surprised to see that they were already done with the test.

"where is the test result" he demanded

Instead of handing over the result Lillian walked up to him and pressed her body to his while trailing her hand over his chest "easy handsome... Dont get all worked up for nothing" she said in what she thought was seductive tone.

Micheal shoved her hard and she almost fell  "the result" he demanded a dangerous look on his face.

Lillian handed him the result and walked towards her chair with confidence. As Micheal skimmed through the papers, he felt his world crumbled. The little chance he thought he had with Crystal flew out through the window. He couldn't abandon his child but he didn't want to live without Crystal. He didn't care if he was selfish for wanting to still have everything.

He turned and saw a triumphant look on her face. How he wished he could strangle that woman with his bare hands.

Oh God! Please help me...he prayed

*******
A week had passed since he confirmed the child was his son. He had been totally miserable. He decided to give Crystal space like she requested and hoped he was not doing the wrong thing. He needed to figure out what to do.

The witch...like he called Lillian had not ceased to taunt him. She claimed to own him and demanded outrageous things from him. She even made several pitiable attempts to seduce him. To make matters worse, he couldn't bring himself to love the boy. He simply avoided him but gave him everything he needed.

Micheal was in his office struggling to focus when a thought crept into his head. What if Lillian manipulated the doctor? What if the child was not really his? He didn't put it pass her to bribe the doctor. He had swallowed everything without even questioning it. The more he thought about it the more he saw the possibility.

Infact looking at the child closely, he bore no resemblance to him. He had initially thought the child resembled his mother but now he was not so sure anymore. He could swear that he had used protection when he had sex with her so how did the child come.

He couldn't sit still again with all the thoughts racing through his head. His friend, Kelly's husband was a doctor and ran his own practice. It wouldn't hurt to retake the test, just to be sure.

Micheal called his friend and informed him of his predicament and arranged a meeting immediately then he rushed home to get Lillian.

"where did you say we are going" Lillian asked with a frown. He had dragged her into the car against her wish

Micheal ignored her as he carefully navigate through the streets of Lagos. When he got to the hospital he got down and helped the child down. He began walking towards the entrance

"what are we doing in a hospital" Lillian demanded

Micheal didn't even spare her a glance "we are here to redo the DNA test"

"what for? You've already seen the result" something about her tone wasn't right

"it dosent hurt to be sure..does it?" He mocked

Lillian's behavior added to his suspicion but he decided to ignore it. He knocked once before entering his friend's office

"hey bro.. It been long" Micheal greeted

"ahh Micheal its been really long"

"married life has really been good to you" Micheal told him

Kelly's husband laughed and sobered up immediately "what sort off mess did you get yourself into?"

Micheal sighed as he sat down "i don't know. Please can you do the test now?"

"sure of course. Is this the child?" his friend asked

Micheal nodded too tired to speak.

"just give me some few minutes" his friend told him as he left his office with the child.

Micheal paced the office restless. This was his last hope. Why was he taking so long? The door opened and he walked in with the result in his hand "congratulations man" his friend told him smiled.

Micheal stopped breathing as he hurriedly tore open the result. "yes!!!" he punched the air

His friend laughed "go get your woman buddy"

"definitely. I just hope am not too late. Thank you so much" he told his friend as he left the office. Lillian will pay.

As he matched angrily to the waiting room were he left her, he saw her cowering away in fear "you know.. You are a really good actress and your acting nearly caused me my happiness" he stopped and glared at her "what gave you the nerve to pull such a stunt?" he half-yelled

"Micheal i love you... Can't you see it. I have loved you since our affair and i couldn't just sit by and let you marry her. I had to do something" she was on her knees crying

"you love me" Micheal scoffed

"yes Micheal i do. We are meant to be, am sure of it" she told him

Micheal was sure Lillian had mental issues but he wasn't going to waste any more of his precious time with her "stay out of our lives.. Any day i see you around.." he left his warning hanging as he turned to go.

Lillian caught his leg "what has she done to make you as blind as this? What does she have that i don't have even more?" she sounded desperate

Micheal smiled and bent low to her level "firstly she has given me genuine love. Secondly she has everything and you don't even have half of what she has. Lastly am madly, hopelessly and insanely in love with her. The earlier you get that into this numb skull of yours, the better for you" he shook her hand off and walked away without another word.
