Episode 21

When Gift and Charles left the hospital to stroll out, Charles was worried about Annabel, he decided to give her a call taking excuse from Gift.

"Hello baby" he began, she was scared thinking it was a set up...
"how was it? " she managed to ask...
"it's okay I think, when I arrived at the hospital mum confirmed she woke up but she was asleep when I arrived " he said
"alright dear, I've missed you. What about our discussion? I'm seriously horny and you can't forsake me like this. Can you please come over tonight? " she asked not even ashamed of the disappointment she encountered earlier...
"babe I'm in an open place for now but I will see you later okay? " he said
She was so excited, her plans will work.

She has planned having unprotected sex with Charles in order to get pregnant for him. If he tries to deny they would go for DNA test and confirmed he's responsible then he will get married to her.

"I think we should go back to the hospital, I have to go and see my fiancée" he said to Gift
"alright but it's late already and you want to go and see her? " she asked
"yes she needs me, I think she had missed me a lot. She so waited for me for a year while I traveled and now that I'm back she is really happy " he said
She smiled hearing the way he spoke about his fiancee, she wished someone could say such in her absence "Alright! Let's go " she said
He turned on his WhatsApp to message Annabel, Gift who glanced at his phone noticed the profile photo and remembered Annabel's WhatsApp photo. She opened her mouth wide in surprise, Charles who noticed her demand to know why she was surprised.

"You know her? " Gift asked
"yes of course she is my fiancée " he said
"Annabel your fiancée? Are you the one who engaged her? " she asked freezing in shock
"yes I'm the one" he said
"no this can't be true. Are you for real? The same girl who broke your sister's home you want to marry? No! No! No this can't be true " she said nodding her head.
"Excuse me! Can you tell me what the hell you are saying instead of asking me several questions that I don't have idea about? " he asked anxiously .

She could see the seriousness in his eyes that he doesn't know anything that was going on. She decided to narrate everything to her right from the day Annabel started working with Benson and Son until the day Danny explained everything to her.

Charles was dumbfounded and vexed in his spirit. H understood why his sister fainted and why Annabel was asking for sex. He cried heartily. He never prayed to lose her but he discovered she doesn't even worth him. "please can you go with me to Annabel? " he pleaded with Gift


She breathed hard for long knowing how late it was. As if Charles could read her mind "I promise to drive you home, I won't be able to sleep if I don't see Anabel I really have something to tell her" he said...

She accepted and they zoomed off to Annabel's house immediately, when she heard the door bell, she ran to her wardrobe. She removed her clothes and put on a very transparent night dress without any inner wears to entice her darling fiancé....

When she ran downstairs "come in, the door is opened" she said and turned on the living room lights, it reveals everything completely, the gown was just fashion because it could be compared to her nakedness.....

Gift stood surprised when she saw the queen Jezebel standing right in front of her... She couldn't help but shout..... Annabel was totally surprised but never knew what to say or do.....

"There she goes, dressing totally naked to seduce people. You're such a shameless girl, upon how you hurt Edith by snatching her husband you still want to snatch her beloved brother. What about the baby in your womb? " Gift began but it was not enough to Charles as Annabel fired her back without shame.

"You are talking about her brother or husband the both are unserious set of humans and I'll make life a living hell for them. How would he leave the country for almost a year and be promising me he is coming back? For the husband if he loves his wife why would he get attracted to me? I'm never pregnant and I can never be pregnant for worthless fool like Danny. He's... "

"Will you shut your dirty mouth? " Charles cut her. "you ain't even ashamed of yourself. Just a year you've ruined people's family. What kind of a lady are you? The woman I cherished and boasted to my family and friends turned out to be a home breaker the same snake that hurt more than viper" he said

"You should be proud you have a viper like me, you are such a fool and nobody disappoint me in my world before you will tell me it's over take your fucking ring" she removed the ring and threw it at him, she turned to Gift "from the very first day I saw you I know you are a bitch, Charles is now yours, you can take him because I know this is all your handiwork " she said.

Gift marvelled at the kind of person she is, never ready to admit her wrongs.... She was about to speak when Charles spoke up "yes it's her handiwork, she's mine and she will remain mine forever. Nothing will part us because she is a very decent girl and wife material unlike you, you will find it difficult to get a good husband. Foolish girl like you " he said and drag Gift out.

(Gift's Pov)

I felt freeze when he said I belonged to him and I will be his forever.... I wished that could be true but I know he was only teasing her.....

He dragged me out of the house unaware, I know he was upset and angry..... "please I'm so sorry over what happened there and how I dragged you out, I was so disappointed when I discovered everything that happened" he said
"No problem! I understand how you feel but don't take it upon yourself just be grateful you got to know about this on time. What if she had done it to someone else and you knew nothing about it until the course fall on you? " I said...

I observed the way he looked downcasted.... It's not really easy but he just have to take heart..... He drove me home with his car because my car was parked at my office, I followed my boss to the hospital.... "thank you for opening my eyes, I don't know how to reward you but I believe your reward will be from heaven because you're just a God sent angel.. I'm really grateful, I'll get in touch with you and please extend my greetings to everyone home because I'll not be able to go in there" he said..... I smiled "it's nothing and please don't overstress yourself in so much thought" I said.....

He opened the door of the car for me, I was a bit happy the way he's humble.... I kept waving at him until the shadow of the car got lost in the dark.... I breathed a sigh of relief.... I'm done with Annabel's problems.... I couldn't wait go and tell my mum about it....

(Charles pov)

Everything seems to be complicated.... I felt the hell my younger sister felt.... It's really heart breaking because I've loved Annabel and tried my best to stay away from white ladies.... Now I have no option....

I drove to the hospital where my mum was seated with my Edith.... I kissed my sister immediately I saw her and hugged her tightly.... Tears dropped down her face uncontrollably.... She had narrated everything to my mum....

When I released her, she tried to talk but I placed my hand on her lips... I told her I knew everything already and I apologized to her for putting her through such... The doctor confirmed that she was also pregnant that was why she fainted easily earlier coupled with shock she had....

****

My night was sleepless, I thought of how Annabel behaved.... She's really a witch and heartless kind of witch.... I imagined the scene how we went about with the other lady....

I remembered my words.... She's mine and she will ever be mine..... What a possession.... I did not take permission from Gift before saying such.... I just hope she'll understand and will not be offended.... I said that to shock Annabel....

I really like the lady Gift but I don't know if she belongs to someone... I just want to get rid of Annabel's thoughts..... I'll ask my sister about her....

? ? ?

Belinda announced the good news to her husband that she was confirmed pregnant by the doctor....

Ray was over excited about the pregnancy, the family celebrated it in a very mini way that consisted of just the husband and wife..... They were so delighted about the pregnancy news....

Episode 22

(Charles Pov)

I went to the hospital to see my sister, she was doing okay and the doctor assured us that she'll not stay long at the hospital...

I told her how Gift and I had visited Annabel and how shameless and bold Annabel was, she smiled and thank God for revealing Annabel's personality through her.... Everything happens by chance....

I asked about Gift.... She smiled "what about her? She's a nice girl that's all I can say " she said
I scratched my head and looked away before speaking "actually I want to ask her if she had someone in her life.... If she doesn't I'll confess my love to her because I really like her" I said but she gave me an unusual look.
"why would you do such? You know most ladies hate when guys ask them such questions. If you truly love her be bold enough to confess your love to her without asking any shit question like that. If she had someone and she so much cherish the person then she'll politely decline but if she doesn't have and she loves you she'll accept...." she said...

I hummed... She was right but it was not that easy asking a lady out, it's been long I did that and I'm not good at romantic words.... It took me time to speak to Annabel and now I had to start all over....

"What if she declines or doesn't like me because I know ladies are cunning in nature? " I asked sarcastically....

She adjusted her sitting position to speak "it's nothing if she declines or dislike you beside it is common, all you need to do is to tell her your mind to let go of the bothering thoughts and if she decline then throw your hands in the air and tell yourself that you tried. I believe she'll not decline but if it happens like that stay patient your missing rib will be found soon. Be man enough " she said

The door opened and it was Gift.... She came with food warmer and flask which I know she brought for my sister.... She was in haste, "Good morning " she said facing us... We both smiled at her, I began to admire her, she wore a cream color blouse and a black mini skirt that reveals her feminine shape, she covered it with a coat because the weather was cold....

After asking about Edith's welfare she decided to leave but I asked her something before leaving "Miss Gift! Will you be free tonight? I want to invite you to a dinner " I asked although speechless and expecting her to say no but she accepted, I promise to come to her house and take her.

****

Rose and Alex were sited at the living room when Rose phone rang, she picked it and put it on loud speaker..... It was her aunt, she could hear cries from the background......

"Aunty what is the problem? " she asked hearing the loud cries of her aunt who was breathing hard and crying....
"please aunty speak " she pleaded while her husband moved close to her and pet her onher back....
"my husband is dead " she finally announced and hung up the call...
Alex pet his wife "please dear don't take it upon yourself, you know about his sickness and you know it will result to this please calm down all will be fine. I don't want you to hurt yourself and the baby" he said

She calmed down but she still felt the pain not because of the man but for her aunt's sake... Despite his wayward character he still cared and catered for his family..... His death seems to be gone too soon to her.

****

At Annabel's house

She sipped a glass of water and stared towards the window.

(Annabel's pov)

what am I waiting for if I don't get Charles? I'll lose him and I'm going to lose Danny also... My mouth was sharp, I shouldn't have told them that I was not pregnant.....

No matter what it takes I'll make sure I separate Gift from Charles.... I know I was wrong but that shows he has been cheating on me because he said Gift belongs to him..... I'll not give them peace Charles is mine and I'm his.... Relationship for two years cannot end just like that.... He's taking me for granted...

****

Charles went to pick Gift, she looked perfectly nice.... She had told her mum about her feelings for Charles.... Her mum who also observed the unusual happiness on her daughter prayed that she finds the right man who will not break her heart.....

(Gift's Pov)

We arrived at a candle night restaurant, the place was so beautiful and quiet.... I had never seen a place like that and I wonder why he invited just me....

He was just smiling while sipping the malt he ordered for, I smiled back.

"I called you here to discuss something very important with you, I'm thinking about someone and I'm helpless. I just want you to help me" he said

I hummed, he needs my help. That sounds funny but I summoned to ask "what is it all about? " I asked.

He stopped sipping his malt and faced me in a serious mood "there is this girl I've been trying to hide my feelings towards her because of Annabel but since Annabel broke my heart, my mind went back to the girl although she knew about my fiancée. What should I do? "

I shifted and adjusted my sitting position.... His words hurt me.... I thought he loves me and I thought he wanted to talk about us.... I felt down casted but I managed to talk.... "if you love her then tell her what transpired between you and your fiancée, she will understand and I believe she will love you because you're cute" I tried to hide my jealousy.

"But I'm scared or should I say shy of telling her. She really looks like and angel and even more beautiful than what imagination could take photograph of" he said

I was burning seriously within me.... My cheeks burn hard, the taste of the malt began to change..... The way he was defining the lady makes me jealous.... I wish he could just stop and start telling me story instead of telling me the beauty of that lady......

"Wow... If she's this cute, you guys will look perfect because you're really also cute" I managed to say

Thank God for the darkness that has been covering my red eyes..... Tears were dropping already..... Something began to whisper to me.... You must not allow jealousy to ruin you..... He's not the only man on earth and he might not even know you have feelings for him..... All what you have to do is to wish him well and your own time will come..... That's the little bitch in me, it always calm me down. I yielded to the voice and flowed with him....

"So you support that I should boldly tell the girl that I love her? " he asked
"yeah! Common be man enough " I said
"I'm man enough already to be telling the lady" he said, I became confused
"I don't get you " I said

He pulled my hand and hold it tightly "Gift you're the lady, I've loved you ever since the day I knew you. The first day I saw you I was so excited and attracted to your outer beauty. Knowing you more made me to discover that you also have inner beauty. I know it my sound odd or too fast to you but the truth is that, I need you and I want you to be mine" he said

Tears dropped down from my eyes and I cried freely this time, I stood up and hugged him tightly. I felt the warmth of his chest "I love you too" I said
