Cape Town, South Africa.

?Haira Pov?

"Happy new month baby" Ambrose kissed my shoulder, i nodded. My eyes were swollen and red. I cried all through the night and also slept late.

"Haira please don't do this to yourself, it's minor you heard the doctor" He kissed my head running his finger across my belly.

I removed the ring in my thumb and slipper it into his ring finger.

"I was going to ask for it, thank you" he kissed my cheeks, I have kept his wedding ring safe even though I went through a lot through out the night.

FLASH???

"Your wife is fine, it's not a serious condition" The doctor smiled again.

Ambrose lost it, he banged his fist on the table and demanded to know what my health condition looks like.

"Fibroid, very very small. 3cm" The doctor announced and I sank into my chair.

"Would it do anything to her? Like would it harm her?" My husband was restless, I allowed the tears flowed while I watched with a heavy heart.

"No, it's just 3cm. I would advice she shrinks it by cutting down foods it grows on, it's not serious" The doctor said removing her eye glass and concentrating on her writing.

"Are my chances of having a child slim?" I asked softly, I love kids and the worse that would happen is rendering me childless for a long time.

"Well, you would have to do a fertility test for that but with this fibroid, you can get pregnant" She jotted some notes down and handed it over to Ambrose. He roamed the notes for sometimes before shaking hands with her.

I walk sluggishly in front of him as we headed outside the hospital.
He flagged down a cab going back to the house. Reaching for his phone in his pocket, he called the police and reported a rape case.

When we got home, Donatus was on the floor already, he managed to untie his legs and he was struggling with the hand tie when we arrived. Ambrose ignored him and got our bags arranged, once the police took Donatus away, Ambrose got us into a hotel. He promise to bring the evidence against Donatus to the station the next day.

??????

I laid helplessly on the bed, I don't know how bad that fibroid is, she said its small but I am worried. I even feel bad for coming down to South Africa, it added salt to my injury.

"Are you going to give me this look all through today?" Ambrose made me sit up resting my back on the soft pillow.

"I am down Ambrose, I want a child" I said scratching my nails.

"We would have children baby, cheer up now" he rubbed my cheeks but i couldn't fight my mood.

"Come let make babies" He said pulling me into his chest. I inhaled his scent for a while and the next minute, I was moaning softly under him.

After sex, I was bright again and decided to forget my sorrows at least for the sake of Ambrose's happiness.

Lagos, Nigeria.

?Hanna POV?

"Baby, happy new month" Kay called out on the phone and I giggled hugging my pillow.

"Prince Charming, Happy new month" I responded.

"Are you less busy today? My family wants to meet you" He said on the phone and my heart raced. Kay does his things too fast.

"Yes, I am available" I said into phone, even though i have to start picking the finest dress in my wardrobe, I had no choice than to say I was available.

"I would be there by 10am, get ready" He said before ending the call.

10am? It's 8am already, I was expecting him to say 4pm in the evening oo, Kay just do things too fast hard.
I had a quick shower then started searching for the best dress. I choose a blue ready made gown, it was not satisfying enough and I decided to check for trouser and top.

I was still searching when Bella called to tell me my taste of design was ready, I asked to see the pictures via whatsapp and when I open them, I love what I saw. I quickly choose the best two and asked her to keep them for me.

Back to my wardrobe, I searched everywhere A-Z and finally used a simple Ankara gown. I was still doing my make up when he walked into the room.

"What have you been doing uhn?" He asked walking up to me.

"You told me late" I said as I stared at him from the mirror, he stood behind my chair and rubbed my shoulder lightly.

"All this paint on your face?" He shook his head as he stared at my make up purse. I giggled and he stood in that position until I was through.

"Gbim, gbim" my heart raced. I kept squeezing my hands in the front seat I sat. He was at the wheel and we journey silently.

He already said a little about his family, his father is late, he has only his mom and sister left. I just hope I am what they want, I am meeting them for the first time and I am so nervous. I don't know how feranmi would see me now with the way I harassed her at the restaurant.

"Madam!" Kay pressed the horn to get my attention. I didn't even notice that he came to an halt already.

"Is this your home?" I asked pointing to a green flat apartment adjacent us.

"No, down the street" He said caressing my hair.

"So why park here?" I asked looking at the dusty and busy street. He looked at me and grinned.

"I am sorry dear, but we would need to cross a big river, we would use a canoe, my family live behind the river" He said smiling and I shook my head in disbelief.

"I haven't been in a canoe before, why would your family live in such a disgusting place? I am sorry, I wouldn't go deeper than this" I told him with a frown and he nodded.

"That's why you haven't met them for long, they leave in a wooden house behind the river" he said looking outside the window. A teenage boy passed by and sighted Kay, he hailed him and they had few discussions in Yoruba.

"Boda Kay, saye le je yi? A ri yin ni abete oo" The boy said meaning "Brother Kay, is this life you are living? We haven't seen you in the ghetto for a ehile"

"Jadanu joor, ise owo logbe mi lo" (Get away, hustle took me away) He responded giving the guy some 1000 notes.

"Is that the kind of thugs you associate with?" I asked immediately the guy left.

"I grew up here so you see? I am from the ghetto and I can't just ignore them because I now have a job that pays me peanut" He responded looking outside the car.

"You called 250k peanut?" I frowned, he was placed on a 250k salary courtesy of my dad's influence.

"My mom and sister are somewhere there behind the waters been sucked by mosquitoes, I have to get them a better life and you think 250k would do that including taking care if you and our unborn?" He asked and I saw sense in what he was trying to say.

"What about the 5million dad gave you?" I asked and he smiled.

"Invested, waiting for profit"

"Kay baba!" A guy banged the bonnet of our car and I shivered from fear.

"Don d Don!" Kay jumped down and hugged the rough looking guy.

"Eshin lo gbe wole ke" (You brought a very big car). The guy went on massaging the car's body and came to my side to say hi.

"Ele, how far now?" I ignored and behaved like I didn't hear his dialect.

"Ko gbo Yoruba, omo Ibo ni" ( she doesn't understand Yoruba, she's an ibo lady) Kay said and I chuckled silently. So after spending all my life in the city of Lagos, I still wouldn't understand Yoruba even as an Ibo babe? Kay must be joking, he would faint the day he hear me speak Yoruba fluently.

I just watch them hail each other and talk shit before he returned to the car.

"Sorry baby, I had to attend to him" He apologized kissing my cheeks.

"Let's go back home, your people can come to our house, I can't cope in this type of vicinity for the next ten minutes, I would faint oo" I threatened and he quickly ignited the car.

This boyfriend of mine is a ghetto breed, I hope i can cope with some of the many ghetto characters in him.

Once he dropped me in the house, I changed my heels to slippers and ask him to drop me at Bella's aso ebi so that I would pick up the designs I chose.

"Smile now" He touched my cheeks in the car, we were on our way to Bella's place.

"Only on one condition"

"Carrot cake and cold stone as usual" he laughed and I hit him playfully.

"Today is Saturday, you would have to take me everywhere I go today ooo" I folded my hands and watch his smiling face turned sour.

"I will but í would have to excuse myself by 4pm ooo, I have something to do"

"Ewu" I insulted and he frowned not knowing what that meant.
