We had decorations put up for Royal's birthday. His friends were invited over and the back house was a fixed pool for a party. The whole environment is littered and I know I have a lot of cleaning to do tomorrow but still, it's my lil dude's fifth birthday today.

He is at a corner with Zenníah, and any girl who tries coming to join them, goes away looking sad and disappointed. I knew he had attitudes with girls but Zen is special anyways. Lucky she.

"Hey," Praise says to me. "Are you ok?"

"Praise, when are you leaving?" I ask. Honestly, I'm tired of having this idiot around me. I'm quitting this new self and I'm going back to the old me.

"What? Any problem? Why are you in such a haste for me to go back to Nigeria?" he asks.

"Because I'm tired of having you around. I've been quiet about this and I want to speak up!" I say.

"Karen stop yelling. Come on." He tries grabbing my hand so we can go upstairs but I get my hand out of his grasp.

"Don't touch me, Praise! I want you to leave tomorrow or I'm telling everybody what you did to me!" I threaten.

"Okay, I'll leave but please stop yelling. It's Royal's party."

"And my privacy."

"What will you do about our baby?" he asks and I give him a slap.

"I will never make a family with you and I pray this baby dies but I won't kill it." I walk out to where Royal is so I can get his pictures. From side glances, I know Praise is watching me with frustration. Well, he is just beginning. I will make him regret everything.

ASHER'S POV

Twenty first day of May. It was my twenty fourth birthday yesterday. I made myself a promise to get back with Karen before twenty five. I have just one more year.

"Hey man, where you heading?" Sienna asks, making herself coffee.

"Nobody's business." I pick up my phone from the table.

"Why you all like this? Cause a girl from your past is somewhere 'round ya? It's lame."

I ignore her and grab the handle of my travel bag.

"Won't you ask me not to take coffee? It's not good for someone who is gonna get a baby in months," she says.

"Please take more so the bastard can die already." I roll my eyes and leave.

I take the elevator to the ground floor and walk to the parking lot. Jamal is there to drop me off at the airport. I keep my bag in the trunk and get in the passenger seat.
