please you should leave now. Let her be please” my mother in law pleaded as she dutifully attended to Jessica who managed to sit up with great pain.

“please dear, i’m so sorry” i apologized to her slowly, very confused on what to do next.

“please leave right now. I beg of you” my mother in law begged once again. I shrugged, breathed deeply and left without another word.

I returned to my apartment to see Comfort looking very worried and scared. She heaved a sigh of relief as she opened the door for me.

“you left me very worried and scared. You left without telling me where you were going” she asked unhappily. I ignored her, went to my bedroom, undressed, took a quick shower and retired to my bed for a cool night rest. She however showed up minutes later to disturb me.

Comfort walked into my room, turned on the lights and sat beside me on the bed. I stared back at her, saying nothing.

“are you not hungry?” she asked, placing her right hand on my chest.

“no i’m not” i answered coldly.

“i want to be sharing the same bed with you” She suddenly muttered, shocking me with her words.

“it’s for the baby. Don’t tell me you don’t understand” she added, forcing me up with her words. I quickly sat up and stared at her with disgust.

“don’t be ridiculous” i breathed.

“c’mon” she scoffed.

“my mother is coming over tomorrow to stay with me. So better start preparing your mind about the new plans she’s going to make for you” i said with a smile, unsettling her with the revelation. She drew back with shock, frowned and quickly smiled to conceal her feelings. But i wasn’t a kid. I knew the last thing she wanted was my mother’s presence.

“so how do we go about getting your job back?” she suddenly asked, changing the topic. I breathed deeply , stared at her for some seconds before replying.

“i have the contact of one Mr Moses, he works for Vanguard newspaper. The same paper that covered our story very vigorously. I will invite him over to come chat with you. All you have to tell him is that i never took advantage of you. That we were dating before i left the country for my masters degree. When i returned, we continued the affair, not minding i was married to another lady. Anyway we have all of tomorrow to go through the story” i said easily.

“and you think it’s going to be convincing?, remember i’m in your house.” she asked curiously.

“don’t worry, just go to bed. We have all of tomorrow to plan things” i answered with a smile. She shrugged, got up and left without another word.

As early as 6am the next day, i was in my father in law’s house to see if i could talk to Jessica one more time. I badly needed to settle things with her and put my mind at ease.

Jessica and her mum were already set to head out of the city when i arrived. They really were in the process of getting into one of the family cars when i showed up, and of course they were very surprised to see me.

“my love please don’t leave without at least hugging me. Please” i begged as i advanced towards them. Jessica stared at me and waited, while her mum went ahead and got into the car.

“my love, please just a hug. I need it” i begged solemnly. She stared at me for some seconds, breathed deeply, drew close and hugged me, settling my spirit.

“my love, i’m going to return with your son. I love you. Please don’t let me down” she breathed with great passion, broke away from me, and quickly joined her mother in the chauffeur driven car which sped off immediately. I was close to tears as i watched the car sped away…

“i pray you return with my son” i prayed with great emotion.
