Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 81
Jane was going to disguise herself, and hang around the hotel, and when they were done having dinner, the manager would bring the items to her.
When Jeffery got to the restaurant, he had to wait a little bit, before Lauretha, and the boy he saw her with the other day at the parking lot, arrived. She had on a lovely dress, which brought out her slender figure, while the boy had on a nice suit and trouser. Anyone who saw them could easily mistake them for a happy family.
“Hi Lauretha, welcome” Jeffery got up, and drew out a chair for her to sit on, while the boy helped himself to a seat.
“And how are you Remi?” Jeffery asked the boy, after they had all sat down.
“I’m fine thank, uncle Jeffery”
So she already told the boy his name? Jeffery thought within himself.
“What can I get you and your beautiful family?” A beautiful waitress asked Lauretha smiling. Her mistaking them for a family, must have really warmed Lauretha’s heart, because she smiled and looked at Jeffery with admiration in her eyes. “You see what I told you?”
Jeffery only nodded and smiled back, when what he really wanted to do was to get out of that place and be with Jane.
“I will have this, and so will my son” Lauretha pointed on a particular number on the menu. “What would you like to have Jeffery?”
Jeffery who wasn’t in the mood to eat anything, decided to go for whatever Lauretha was having.
“So tell me Jeffery, why the sudden change of mind?” Lauretha asked as their food arrived, and they started to eat.
“I already told you, I want to be with my family”
They continued to eat in silence, before Jeffery decided to ask Remi his class.
“I’m in SS1 sir”
“I thought you schooled abroad?”
“Yes, but my mom decided I finished my secondary school education here, so I can get learn my people’s culture, and traditions before I went back for my tertiary education” he had an American accent.
“Oh, that sounds reasonable. So what have you learnt so far?”
“Just a few things, like how to greet an elder, as the yoruba tradition demands”
The more Jeffery conversed with the little boy, the more he liked him, and wished the boy is his, so he could lay claims on him.
By 8pm, Lauretha decided it was time for them to leave, as Remi had to go to school the next day.
“Thanks for dinner, uncle Jeffery” Remi said to Jeffery as he walked them to their car.
“You are welcome chap”
“I hope you will keep to your promise, and teach me how to play tennis?” The boy asked with hope in his eyes.
“I sure will, I will discuss with your mother, and know what time would be best, and I would come pick you up”
The boy thanked Jeffery, and hopped into the back seat of the car.
“You see what I told you? He needs his father around” Lauretha said to Jeffery who couldn’t take his eyes off the boy who was already seated in the car.
“I know Lauretha, and I’m working on rectifying that”
“I hope you do it fast enough”
Jane was at the back of the restaurant’s kitchen waiting patiently, for the waitress to come deliver the items. Jeffery already texted to let her know they were done with dinner.
She already had a taxi, waiting to take her to the Laboratory, where the samples would be tested, she already has Jeffery’s tooth as a sample.
Few minutes later, the manager came out with a black nylon bag, which she handed over to Jane without saying a word.
When Jane got into the car, she opened the nylon and found a glass cup, a spoon and some used tissues, neatly placed in different ziplock bags.
The taxi driver drove Jane to the Laboratory, where she submitted the samples, and was asked to come back the next day for the result.
When she got back home that night, Amaka was already asleep. She let herself in with her keys, and quietly undressed to shower.
“Madam, where have you been all day?” Amaka asked, as she sat up on the bed.
“I thought you were sleeping?”
“Weren’t you supposed to go for your cake testing today? The wedding planner kept calling me to say she couldn’t reach you, and neither could I. What happened?”
Jane had totally forgotten about her appointment with the baker, she has been so engrossed in plan with Jeffery, that she had totally forgotten she has a wedding coming up.
“I’m sorry I forgot, I will call her tomorrow, and see if we can book another appointment”
“Jane you usually don’t forget things like this, what is going on?”
Jane who couldn’t keep secrets from Amaka, decided to tell her what was going on.
“That girl must be very stupid, to think she can have Jeffery” Amaka said after Jane had told her everything. “She is lucky I don’t know where she lives, if not, I would have paid her a visit. Stupid she-goat like her”
“Amaka calm down” Jane said laughing at her statement of calling Lauretha a she-goat.
“Be there laughing, until that heifer snatches your man away. Jane, even if that parternity test comes out positive, saying the boy is Jeffery’s, you should still put her in her place. She is a baby mama and nothing more”
The next morning, Jane woke up to a call from Jeffery.
“Hey” she answered with a sleepy voice.
“Thank goodness, you finally picked” Jeffery sounded restless.
“What is the matter Jeff?”
“Lauretha already licked the video of our break-up to a popular blogger, it’s going viral already”
“What?”
The next morning, Jane woke up to a call from Jeffery.
“Hey” she answered with a sleepy voice.
“Thank goodness, you finally picked” Jeffery sounded restless.
“What is the matter Jeff?”
“Lauretha already licked the video of our break-up to a popular blogger, it’s going viral already”
“What?”
Jane’s scream, woke Amaka up, and she immediately sprang to her feet, ready to run. If not for the serious discussion she was having with Jeffery, Jane would have bust into laughter because of Amaka’s reaction.
“I told you, this was going to happen. I already sent someone to come take you to the beach house. No one will find you there. I have to go now, my mom is calling. I love you”
When Jeffery ended the call, Jane collapsed on the bed, what has she gotten herself into? If the parternity test came out positive, how was she going to clean up this mess, and still continue her wedding plans with Jeffery?
Amaka helped her to pack a few things she was going to need at her stay, at the beach house. Amaka couldn’t go with her, as she needed to be at work.
The person Jeffery assigned to take Jane to the beach house, was already waiting for her outside her compound. She got into the car, and they drove off.
It was already 6pm, and Jane haven’t gotten a call from the Lab where she took the samples for the DNA test. When she called in the afternoon to check if the results were ready, they told her it wasn’t, and that they would call her, when it was ready. She had paid an extra fee, so the results could be out in 24hrs.
Several people have caught wind of her fake break-up with Jeffery, and her phone has been ringing off the hook. Several of them, wanting to know if it was true or not, including her wedding planner who was almost at the point of tears, when she learnt of the break-up. Jane had to assure her to go on with the wedding preparations, as the wedding will still hold.
As she paced the room awaiting a call from the Laboratory, her phone rang. It was from them.
“Good evening ma’am, you may come for your results they are ready now”
Jane quickly got dressed, making sure to disguise herself, so no one would recognize her. She ordered a cab, and when to get the results.
Immediately Jane got the results, she opened it to read the contents: Jeffery wasn’t Remi’s biological father.
Jane had to read the result several times, before she could actually believe what was written in it. If Remi wasn’t Jeffery’s son, when then has Lauretha been trying to force Jeffery into marriage using the boy as a bait?
She needed to call and inform Jeffery about the results. But then she decided against it, this news would better be delivered in person. Besides she knows a part of him was already having a liking for the boy. She could tell from his voice, when she had called him last night, to ask how the dinner went.
Jane was still contemplating on what to do, when she heard a knock on the door.
“Who is it?” She asked, only Jeffery and the driver who brought her, knew this location, and she wasn’t expecting Jeffery until the next one hour or two, he had already called to inform her, he was still at the office, as he had some work to finish up, before leaving. The person kept knocking on the door.
“Who is it?” Jane was already getting apprehensive, why wasn’t the person saying his or her name?
“It’s Lauretha, open up we need to talk”
Lauretha, what could she want from her? How did she even know she was hiding here? Jane decided to ignore her, maybe she will leave.
“Jane, I know you are in there. Please open up, I just want us to talk”
Jane decided to quickly text Jeffery, letting him know Lauretha was there. Before she opened the door.
“Hi Lauretha, what can I do for you?” She didn’t make any attempt to allow Lauretha inside, as she stood blocking the entrance.
“Aren’t you going to invite me in?” Lauretha was smiling as she spoke, she looked really harmless, but there is no telling with anyone anymore. After all Sandra looked harmless, but she still kidnapped and tortured Jane.
“I’m sorry, but you would have to say whatever it is you want to say here”
“Jane please, I won’t be here for long, it’s really chilly out here and I already have a cold” she pleaded. Jane decided to finally let Lauretha in.
“So what do you want?” Jane asked folding her arms, after letting Lauretha inside.
“I’m here to talk to you about Jeffery, and our son”
“Oh really? and what is it about them, that you want to talk to me about?” Jane asked in annoyance, the nerve she has, coming here to talk to her about, a child that she has been lying to Jeffery about who the real father was.
“I know you had a DNA test conducted, just so you could know if Remi is truly Jeffery’s son, and I’m sure you already have your answer by now”
How on earth, did she find out about the test? Can’t someone do something private in this Lagos, and it won’t be heard by someone else?
“You look surprised? I’m a private investigator remember? So it’s not difficult for me, to get any piece of information. I know the results are not in my favor and I’m here to get them before you show them to Jeffery”
“Hahahahhee…..” Jane held her abdomen in laughter. ”I’m sorry but, You must be a joker, for you to think, you could just walk in here and demand I hand the results over to you”
“I know you have a price, so what is it? I’m ready to pay”
“I can see you have lost your senses, now get out!”
“Everyone has a price, so name yours. I know you would need the money now, more than ever, especially now that Jeffery has broken up with you”
“You must really be delusional, if Jeffery has broken up with me, then why did he bring me here to keep me safe? Oh you didn’t know? We only played a prank on you, just so we could have access to the boy, and have a DNA test done”
“You cheap lier, Jeffery would do no such thing, now hand over those results to me” Lauretha stretched out her hands to Jane.
“I would advise you get out now, before I called the police”
“Now, listen up little girl, I have waited years to have Jeffery to myself, and now that it’s finally happening, neither you nor any stupid DNA test is going to stand in my way” she advanced towards Jane as she spoke. “For the last time, give me those results, or you wouldn’t like the next thing I’m going to do”
“And I said get lost” Jane was walking to the door to open it for Lauretha to leave, but Lauretha pulled Jane on her hair, drawing her back.
“Don’t you dare walk out on me”
Jane freed herself from Lauretha’s grip, and slapped her on the cheek. And before she could react, Jane slapped the other cheek. “Don’t you ever lay your filthy hands on me again!”
Lauretha who was still shocked at Jane’s boldness, held her hurting cheeks. “I can see, the chicken has suddenly grown teeth, now you think you can bite right?”
“Lauretha, if you try me, I will not only bite you, but I will chew on you. I warn you to leave now!” Jane wasn’t taking her eyes off Lauretha, just in case she wanted to play funny, even though, she was only bluffing and couldn’t withstand a fight with Lauretha, she still needed to keep her guard.
“Fine, show what you’ve got” Lauretha challenged Jane.
Jane knew Lauretha was stronger than her, and could easily beat the hell out of her. So she immediately grabbed a flower vase which was on the table beside her, and as Lauretha came closer, she crashed it on her head, making Lauretha scream out in pain, and held her already bleeding head. Just then, the door swung open, and Jeffery walked in with two police men.
“Freeze everyone” one of the police officer shouted pointing a gun at Lauretha as she tried to reiterate.
“Oh baby, I’m so sorry” Jeffery went to Jane’s side, and hugged her. When he got her text message, he tried calling her, but she wasn’t picking up, he became worried and decided to inform the police.
“You are under arrest ma’am, for trespassing” the second officer came and handcuffed a screaming Lauretha and escorted her to the car.
“Are you okay miss?” The first police officer asked Jane who held on to Jeffery’s shirt like her life depended on it.
“I’m fine officer, thank you so much for coming” she was scared they were going to arrest her as well.
“Thank you officer, we will be at the station for her to make her statement” Jeffery thanked the officer.
“So that boy is not mine?” Jeffery asked in disbelief, after Jane had show him the DNA results.
“Apparently, Lauretha wanted to have you by all means, so she decided pin another’s man’s child on you”
“This is unbelievable” Jeffery sounded so disappointed.
“I’m sorry Jeff, I know you were already starting to bond with that boy”
“It’s okay, we are going to have our own beautiful children, and raise them together. And the girls would look just as beautiful, as their mother”
“And our sons would look just like you, strong, handsome, smart and intelligent. Of course they won’t inherit your heart breaking genes, God knows their father has broken enough hearts, to last several generations to come”
“At least they get to inherit my good looking gene, and also my smartness, I think that’s enough. They can take the rest from their mother” he placed a soft kiss on her lips. “I’m sorry you had to fight Lauretha all alone”
“It’s okay, let’s thank God it wasn’t my head that got broken”
“I never knew you could fight, to the extent of breaking someone’s head”
“After being kidnapped twice, you learn to protect yourself from further threat, or anything that looks like a kidnap threat”
“I’m sorry you had to go through all these for my sake. I can’t wait for us to get married”
“Me neither”
“We are going to get married no matter what, I don’t care whatever they throw at us, come next weekend we are getting married”
