Episode 21 : Commitment
Kelvin drove me from my apartment to his , when we got there I just sat down.
” Your parents wanted this life for you,and you achieved it when I wasn’t there”.
This apartment was given to me by the company Ivy, I know what you’re trying to say..my parents only made things worse, come let me take care of you.
Come where? I asked.
Are you going to pass the night in the sitting room? I have some pain killers in my room..come let’s go.
I got up and followed him like a child following his mother for breast milk.
I sat on his bed while he brought the pain killers for me, he made dinner too and we ate together.
I miss you Ivy..my life wasn’t the same since you left,I am glad I found you..
Kelvin has changed,his looks,his physique, everything changed,I was staring at him for more than 3 minutes.
Did you sleep with Israel?
No,I didn’t..
Sure? How? You guys were dating.
I know, I am not like you who couldn’t control himself, I dated Israel and we just even started the relationship,it was actually getting serious but we never got down.
He played with you?
Yeah,he did,I was in a relationship so it’s normal for it to happen..
You’re mine Ivy, don’t let anyone play with you again,
You played with someone else Kelvin and you got her pregnant.
I didn’t do it with my eyes open, like I said” I was drunk”.
You want to say you didn’t enjoy anything!? I don’t believe you.
I swear,I don’t know how she taste…I didn’t even know we did it, and it’s the first and last ..I was waiting for you.
You know what Kelvin, let’s not talk about it..I don’t want to hear that anymore.
Can I k!ss you? Please.. Kelvin asked.
There’s no need to ask Kelvin,I am right here in your room..I’m not supposed to be here but I am here..
The way he hugged me for minutes made me felt like I was home.i felt safe in his arms. After hugging me he k!ssed me, yeah, he was doing it slowly cause of my bruises, the pains disappeared and I wanted it to be fast a lil bit..
It continued and things were beginning to get messy..
I think I need to shower Kelvin.
You smell nice Ivy.
I know, but I just need to shower.
Then let’s shower together then..just like the first day .
Right in my father’s house!!
Yeah, he said while undressing me, he undressed himself and we went to the bathroom together, just like the first day Kelvin made me remember how we actually started,
We were playing and things were about getting rough.
Kelvin we need to protect ourselves.
We don’t need protection Ivy, I’ll take responsibility of anything that’s going to happen, I love you and I want to spend everyday with you.
we ended up making lve in the bathroom unprotected. It’s been years and I almost forgot how it felt.. goodnight Kelvin. I Love you Ivy. In the morning when we woke up, we had sx again and he refused to go to work, we were just home playing games when we heard a knock on the door
I opened and it’s Ruth.
Ivy!
Ruth!!
What are you doing here?? She asked.
I should be asking you what you’re doing here!
I am pregnant for Kelvin and I am having his baby, I don’t want to have any issues with you so just leave.
Who’s at the door Ivy? Kelvin asked walking towards us.
Ruth! What are you doing here? Kelvin asked.
You didn’t come to work today and I need to bond with you.
Bond with me? How?
Kelvin stop fooling around and tell ivy to leave.
Ivy! Will you leave? Kelvin asked.
After what happened last night and this morning? No, I am not leaving.. I want more of that! I responded.
With a k!SS on my lips Kelvin said ” Ruth, you know what really happened, I didn’t intentionally do it, I was drunk and you took advantage of me, I am getting a DNA and if you feel I am leaving Ivy again you are a big lair,, please leave..
What?
Yeah, if it’s about the company I can quit if I want to . I have the right to go to work anytime I choose, right now I am spending the whole week with IVY… And tomorrow we’re going for the DNA.
It’s risky Kelvin, I need to give birth first.
I can’t wait for you to give birth, I need to do it now..
I can’t risk my baby’s life.
And I can’t risk loosing Ivy again, if the baby is mine then fine, you’ll give birth and I’ll take full responsibility but if it’s not mine then I’ll arrest you for trying to manipulate me.
Out of anger Ruth left…
I laughed a bit,
So it’s true.
Yeah, I wasn’t lying to you IVY.
POV
Ruth began to avoid Kelvin for no reason but Kelvin was smart enough to forcefully take Ruth to the hospital and requested for a DNA. IT WAS a tough procedure but it was carried out, his sample was also taken and he was told to come back the next week for the results..
Life was becoming easy again for me, I was trying so hard to forget about my past, Kelvin made me move in with him and we were staying together, I accepted go work with him but he said I shouldn’t work, so what i do is just follow him to work, eat, sleep and wait till he’s done with work
Ruth tried severally to get on my nerves but I never let her get in my way.
If the DNA result is out and Kelvin is the father I will frustrate you ivy.
It hurts so bad that the man you want doesn’t want you, do you know how he makes me feel every night? No you don’t cause you didn’t have the chance to enjoy Kelvin, let me give you a hint Ruth.. Kelvin is solo sweet, I love him and I am not letting you get him. You can give birth to his child but you’ll still watch me raise your child for you.. bye ..my man is waiting in his car for me..
I left her…
The day came Soo fast and the test result was out, turned out Kelvin is not the father of her baby..
Episode 22 : Growth and Self-Discovery
Knock knock ✊
Door opens.
What are you doing here kelvin, I wasn’t expecting you?
You don’t like surprises???
I do, but you haven’t visited me since we arrived so I am surprised you came.
The fact that you lied about your pregnancy is really weird Ruth.
What do you mean?? I didn’t lie about anything .
Here’s the test result,
After looking at it Ruth said.
This is not the original result,it’s fake.
Fake? Do you actually think that you will blackmail me into being the father of someone’s child? What were you thinking Ruth’ you thought I’d just welcome you with my arms wide open? This is the height of it, I am so angry right now.
Kelvin we have to do it again.
Do what again? The test? Tell me, who is responsible for your pregnancy,who is the father? Because I am not.
I am talking to you Ruth, you tried to pin your pregnancy on me, telling everyone that you’re pregnant for me and making Ivy angry ,what if she’d left me.
I know it’s all about Ivy, it has always been about Ivy, I loved you from the first day I picked you up from the airport and I’ve never stopped loving you,Ivy left you and all you do is talk about her and ditch me. Do you know how that makes me feel? I am human for crying out loud.
That doesn’t give you the right to frame me..
I want you out of my house Kelvin, there’s no point staying here,you already know the truth and I’ll terminate it since I wasn’t smart enough.
If you like put your life in danger.
It’s none of your business Kelvin, just leave.
I am already leaving, Ivy is waiting for me.
I h@te Ivy.
She doesn’t like you too…one more thing I don’t want you to work with me anymore, you can leave London back to America.
I am not leaving,you have no right to stop me from working, I’ve worked so hard for the company.
I have every night to stop anyone from working with me, just imagine what will happen to you when they find out that you tried to tarnish my image
Kelvin this is not right, I know what you’re trying to do,you want to give Ivy my position.
No, I won’t allow Ivy stress herself, her job is just to sleep, eat,get fat and live the life she has always wanted, Ivy can never work for me or anyone, so don’t think about it..
Ring ring…
Hello Kelvin,
Mum!
Yes, you’ve not been visiting home, I contacted your father’s friend and he said you have the right to come back anytime, why haven’t you visited us
I am quite busy here mum, there’s nothing for me back home, I am fine.
I know you’re fine but we’re worried, I heard you’re now in London..have you gotten a wife yet?
A wife? Yeah I have..
Good, I’ll be coming to London do see you by weekend, just text me the address, I know my way around.
No problem.. see you soon.
Love you Kelvin* hangs up
POV
Isn’t it wonderful to know that Kelvin is not the father of Ruth’s child?
But Ruth is really wicked, what if Kelvin didn’t opt for a DNA? Jenny asked.
Well, everything is just turning around for me..God knows it would not be easy if it turned out positive, although I wasn’t really angry about it I was just sad ..
It’s good to know both of you are back together, so tell me what happened the night you slept in his house?
Why are you smiling jenny?
Cause I want to know what Kelvin has that makes you still want him.. is he better than Israel!?
I never had s*x with Israel.
I know, I mean the fun part.
It’s not about the fun part or anything, I love Kelvin for no reason.
Hmmm, it’s a lie, he knows how to get you, that’s why Ruth tested him and tried to frame him.
Ivy, your phone is ringing. And it’s Kelvin.
Hello, Kelvin.
Hey babe,! Can you come over I just want you to be around.
No work today?
I decide when to go to work and when not to, I want to spend the day with you..
I’m coming..
I went to his place and he was just troubled, his mood changed.
What’s going on Kelvin?
I’m just tired of everything going on between us.
What do you mean? Ruth is out of the way now.
I know!!
Is it your mother, your father? You’re thinking of how to face them with me?
Noon, it’s not about them..it’s about you.
I’m here Kelvin.
I know you’re here…I don’t want anything to happen to you again… I Love you.
You’re not telling me what’s happening Kelvin, talk to me. What’s wrong?
Nothing is wrong, everything is fine, come let’s take a rest.
I don’t want to sleep…
Kelvin! I don’t want to fight anymore..
You’re not fighting Ivy.
The death of my parents should give me enough reason to leave you.
Your parents would never allow it, they said we should stick together.
Sticking together cost them their lives,,,, I almost died too, I can’t risk it again with your parents,I may do something stupid.
Let’s talk about this later, I’ll be in my room.
Kelvin went to his room, I didn’t join him,I know he’s hiding something,I remained in the sitting room ,I fixed my eyes on the TV set trying to get my mind off the pain, 45min later i fell asleep on the couch..
I slept for two hours,when I opened my eyes I saw Kelvin.
How long have you been here?
The moment you fell asleep.
I thought you went inside to sleep.
Yeah, I knew you were not joining me so I had to watch you sleep, I already made your favorite.
Thanks..
Ivy,!
Yeah..
I Love You..
That’s so sweet.. thanks.
Will you marry me?
I don’t know.
Please 🥺
Are you asking me or you’re proposing to me without a ring..
I am asking you.
No way Kelvin, you’re joking,,let’s go and eat I am hungry
Ok,
I stayed with him that day..as early as 6am the next day we had sx and after the sx something was pushing me to leave his house, I tried to resist it but couldn’t.
I need to leave Kelvin
Why?
I just want to go home.
Why are you in a hurry!?
I don’t know but I just need to leave, I’ll see you later,
It’s fine .I’ll come pick you up in the evening, since you’re leaving let me just go to work..
I couldn’t wait for him to prepare so I left him.
Immediately he got to work he got a call from his mother.
Kelvin . I’m at the airport come pick me up.
Mum but you said weekend.
I changed my mind Kelvin, I am waiting for you.
I am coming right now..
Kelvin went to pick his mum from the airport,took her home and gave her a treat..
At 6am I wanted for his call but he didn’t call..I went to his office and I was told he left in the morning.
I went straight to his house.
Knock knock…
The door is open.
I opened and saw his mother.
I was waiting for you, why didn’t you call me,
I’m sorry, my mother came today and I wasn’t really expecting her to be here,I had to leave the office to pick her up.
I knew something was wrong when you were moody yesterday, you should have told me.
Kelvin, you’re still having an affair with this useless girl,? Is she the woman you told me about?
Mum, please i don’t want you to insult Ivy,
Let her insult me Kelvin, it’s been her pattern and I will not take it.
You came into my son’s house, saw me and refused to greet me and you think Kelvin will still marry you?
Were you expecting me to greet you after what you did to me?
You’ll forever be nothing to me Ivy.
Mum, I am being patient and quiet, you’re doing too much, no one has forgotten what happened, you have to respect yourself before things gets funny, I am your son I know but do not push me.
Push you? Kelvin are you insane? His mother asked.
Kelvin do you love me? I asked.
I love you Ivy.
Would you do anything for me?
Anything babe, I will do anything for you,
Kelvin, I want your mother out, as you can see I came here to see you and i am not leaving here plus I will not pass the night here with your mother
You’re the one to leave Ivy.
Kelvin, it’s either me or your mother, I want her out, I don’t care if she’s going to sleep outside, I want her out.
Ivy, I am not loosing you again,, I’ll choose you over anyone including my family.. I am sorry mum but you need to leave, I’ll book an hotel for you and I’ll be visiting.. I love Ivy and I am doing as she says
Good boy!
You’ve become a toy for Ivy?
Yes, he is my toy and I will control him… Kelvin please call someone to take her to the hotel,you can’t leave me here, I am Soo h*rny and I really need to be eaten.
Kelvin called someone from his office, he came within minutes.
He’s not talking your car, book a ride for them.
Kelvin’s mother was just looking in surprise.
Kelvin booked a ride for them and they left..
I’m sorry for not telling you she’s coming, she told me weekend.
I don’t care Kelvin.. I don’t want to see her, she hurt me took my parents from me, so I don’t want to see her ever again, I know she’s your mother but….
It’s okay Ivy… I don’t care about my parents…my birthday is in two weeks.
Oh nice, we’ll plan it together, let’s go to bed..
Episode 23 : New Challenges
Hello Matt, which of the hotel is my mum?
I’ll text you the adress and the room number sir.
Okay.
Kelvin was sent the adress and he went to meet his mother.
I wasn’t expecting you after what happend last night Kelvin, why are you here? Is Your little god Ivy aware?
Mum, listen.
Don’t mum me Kelvin, who on earth chooses a woman over his mother? Who? Ivy has really cooked for you, you no longer think , you listen to her you let her control you.
Ivy had been hurt by you mum, I needed the arguments to stop and besides you caused everything, you saw her and started insulting her..
You just proved that you’re not a man and you cannot marry Ivy, if you do then your family will not be able to visit you.
Ivy is a nice girl, I don’t really want to remember what you did to her mother and my child, mum you committed murder twice and you got away with it, I am not here to argue with you, my birthday is in two weeks and I want to get married to Ivy , so I’ve decided to put the ring 💍 on her finger that day, you’re invited.
Over my dead body kelvin, you will not bring her home as your bride or your wife, she can’t be my daughter in-law, never.
I’ve just told you mum.. and there’s nothing you can do about it, instead of you to apologize and get to know Ivy you’re complicating issues..
I am leaving tonight, I already told your father to book my flight back home, and I told him everything that happened last night.
I’ll drop you at the airport, my peace of mind First..
Be careful what you wish for Kelvin, it will not be easy..
Kelvin waited till evening, he drove his mum to the airport and made sure she didn’t miss her flight back home.
When he returned he told me he went to see his mom and she has finally left.
Why would she leave soo soon? I asked.
She couldn’t stay, the heat was too much.
There’s something I want to say kelvin
Go on!
You’re not my toy, I only said that to annoy your mother. She feels that I am controlling you, am I really controlling you?
I don’t know if you are, I love you that’s all that matters.. I want you to start living with me.
I think someone is knocking.
No one is knocking Ivy, you just want to avoid what I said.
POV
You mean kelvin asked you to leave cause of Ivy? Kelvins father asked.
You need to see the way Ivy was controlling kelvin, he has eaten lots of love portion from Ivy.
A woman controlling a man? Are you sure she didn’t use charm or put something on her private part for kelvin?
I suspect so too, kelvin told me he is getting her engaged in two weeks, on his birthday .
What?
Yes..but it’s not going to work, I already have a plan.. kelvin will have no choice than to come back home and when he comes back he will never go back to Ivy again.
Kelvin’s birthday 🎂 approached, I spent days preparing for it, i and Jenny made sure everything was in order, we got a spacious hall for the celebration, drinks and food was in order..
I woke up in the morning only to find out that I am pregnant on his birthday, I was the first to wish him a happy birthday cause I was with him, I wanted the birthday to be over before telling him the news..
His birthday celebration started, his colleagues from London came too, everywhere was bubbling, I made sure everything was going smoothly, gifts were kept separately. Three hours of his birthday he publicly knelt down with a ring asking me to marry him ,the loud screams from the crowd almost damaged my eardrums , I accepted his proposal and the party turned into an engagement/birthday party..
The party lasted till morning , when it finally ended he instructed his workers to tidy up the place.
We went back home, I couldn’t wait to tell him that we’re expecting a baby..
Kelvin, I have something to tell you.
Before you say anything, I want to thank you for making everything a Sucess, thanks for being there for me.. go ahead and tell me what you want to say
I am..
Ring ring…
It’s my dad.
Okay, you can take his call, I’ll tell you after the call.
Hello kelvin!
Dad!
You need to come home right now.
Why? What’s happening?
Your mother had an accident and her condition is very critical.. you need to come home right away, she may die as she’s loosing blood.
I’m coming! hangs up
What happened kelvin, where are you going?
My mother had an accident, they want me home.
No way, you can’t leave me.
I am not leaving you, you can come with me .
No, I can’t.
I’ll be back Ivy.
Your father is lying kelvin.
How? My father can’t lie with such things Ivy.
Did you tell your mother about this engagement? Did you?
I did.. why?
You’ve answered it kelvin, it’s so funny am the only person noticing everything, your mother wants to keep you away from me, and you’re not going home.
Ivy, we’re talking about my mothers health. I know she’s bad and evil but I don’t want to loose her.
I lost mine and nothing happened, I am the person without a family kelvin.. we’re supposed to be celebrating, if you had kept your mouth shut your mother wouldn’t have lied.
Are you trying to say I talk too much?
Yes, that’s the point..
I’ve done everything for you Ivy.
You’ve done nothing for me, I’ve lost everything because of you.
I’ve done nothing for you? You.. you don’t remember when I had to skip school for you, when I sold my car too,when I acknowledged you at my graduation, when I had to tell my mom to leave for your sake, you stand here to tell me I’ve done nothing for you?
Have you lost anyone?
I’ve lost my child, and it’s my mothers fault, it’s in the past you have to let go Ivy.
How can I let go when your mother keeps hurting me? Can’t you see this is one of her trick.., don’t leave me again kelvin, please not in this condition that I am in.
Right now I am not choosing between you and my mother, I am only going there to know what really happened..
I am not asking you to choose.. I am begging you to stay with me, you’re the family I have right now..kelvin please, your mother is trying to take you away from me.
You should stop crying Ivy ,!
If you love me you’d stay. My happiness is on the line if you leave me.
You’re being selfish right now Ivy, I’ll be back .
Kelvin went to his room, picked some few clothes, came back to the sitting room.
You’re leaving?
Yeah, if my help and presence is needed then I’ll go,. I’ll come back so we can proceed with our wedding.
There’s no need Kelvin, I’m sorry i can’t anymore, this love is poisonous and if I don’t end it, it will end me..
Ivy!!
Maybe I am cursed, maybe this love thing is not for me.. Here’s your ring!! Say hi to your mother.. I quit and I mean it this time..
You can’t quit.. Ivy let’s talk about this.
I am not talking about anything Kelvin.
You can’t return my ring back to me Ivy, you have no right to do that.
Then your parents have the right to frustrate me? You also have the right to abandon me.
I am not abandoning you Ivy, I love you and you can’t just end this relationship anytime you want, it’s not right. Do you even care about my feelings? This is a tough decision for me.
That’s why I am letting you go.. I am tired of getting hurt, I am tired of being the one that loses everything . I don’t want to marry you, I can’t suffer for love.
Ring ring…
Hello kelvin…
Dad!
Where are you?your mother is dying..
My sister is there and you’re also there dad, take care of her first please.
If Ivy is telling you not to come then you don’t love your mother.
Dad please, I am in a middle of what I don’t understand,
We’re talking about your mothers life Kelvin
I’m coming!!
You can just go Kelvin, there’s no point.
Let’s go together Ivy.
No, I can fall into that trap, safe trip. I’m already leaving, you have a life to save doctor Kelvin .
I left him and went back to my house, Kelvin actually left.
Episode 24 : Mutual Understanding
Kelvin you’re here already, thank God, your mother is in her brother’s hospital she almost died.
Let me go see her, I just came to drop my stuffs.
Kelvin went to the hospital and he saw his mother, her both legs were on bandage 🩹 her neck too
Can you talk?
Yes.. I thought you will not come.
Mum I had to leave Ivy to be here, what happened to you.
I was thinking of what happened the day Ivy chased me out, I cried knowing my son hates me, I wasn’t thinking so I ran into a moving car.
I’m so sorry mum, you’ll be fine.. I really want to go back to London, I’ll drop some money with dad for your upkeep.
Kelvin, you’re my son please don’t leave me like this, stay with me for some days,
Mum you don’t understand what I am about to loose. Ivy is mad at me.
If I die would you be happy? You can see Ivy at any time , don’t leave me like this.
I’m sorry you’re in soo much pains..
Kelvin stayed with his mother that night, each time his uncle wants to change the bandage he’ll ask kelvin out and lock the door.
POV
You mean kelvin fell for his mothers trick again?
Jenny, she’s his mother, it’s really none of my business anymore.
That woman just hate you , why?
I don’t know, the first day I saw her she said she doesn’t like me, and I haven’t started dating kelvin yet.. I wish I never left Mike, he did nothing to me, just take a look at my life..
Your life is beautiful Ivy, kelvin loves you and got confused, he wasn’t sure if he’s mother is lying about the accident.
I couldn’t tell him about the pregnancy..
You have to tell him.
There’s no point’ I don’t want him anymore, I’ve given him back his ring. I can’t marry a man like Kelvin..I am actually thinking of leaving London
Why?
My sanity Jenny.
And you think you can handle this pregnancy journey alone? You still need the father of your baby, has he called you yet?
Yeah, he has been calling but I don’t want to talk to him, I will block him soon, I stayed without talking to him for years so I can do it again
Ring ring!
Hello sir
Jenny, I’ve been trying to reach Ivy but she’s not picking up.. is she with you.
No, she’s not, how’s your mother.
She’s fine..
She really had the accident?
Yeah,, she’s badly injured.. I just want to talk to Ivy.
She’s not here…
Please help me tell her to pick up my call.. bye..
I think you need to talk to him Ivy.
And tell him what????
Just listen to what he has to say.
He has nothing to say Jenny , we’re done..and I mean it this time, the relationship is very toxic, his family are hindrance and my life is been threatened
Your phone is ringing Ivy.
It’s kelvin .
Pick it up please.
Kelvin, what is it this time?
Babe, I am sorry I had to leave, I needed to be here, I’ll be back soon I promise.
I don’t care anymore kelvin, you can stay there for as long as you want..it has always been like this from beginning..
Ivy, we have forever to go, soon I’ll be yours and I won’t have to go anywhere without you, I won’t leave you.
There’s no us don’t you get it? Do me a favour will you , stop calling me else I’ll block you..
I wish you can say that to my face, stop trying to run away from things you can change.
Bye kelvin. I hanged up and blocked him.
Two months later his mother was still in the hospital, it was becoming confusing as kelvin kept staying with her there,
I need some fresh air mum..
Kelvin went outside and was talking a walk when his sister called him.
I wasn’t expecting you soon soon kiddo .
I’m no longer a kid big bro.. how’s Ivy? Have you been able to get her?
No dear.
You love Ivy right?
Yeah! Why?
Mum thinks she is using charms on you, she even said nasty things.
That’s her way , she never liked Ivy.
If I were you I wouldn’t have been here, you got someone engaged and left her the next cause of mum, it’s been two months and she’s not getting better what kind of accident is that?
I’ve been wondering too…
Kelvin, mum is doing all this things to make you stay here and never return to Ivy.
What are you saying?
What makes you think I don’t come here all l the time? I feel for you and I’ve decided to tell you the truth, she planned it with uncle Joe to keep you here, there’s no accident. She’s perfectly fine.. make your findings and thank me later, I hope it’s not too late for Ivy to accept you back.
Ring ring!!
Hello Jenny …
Have you in any way heard from Ivy?
No, what’s going on?
I haven’t seen her in days Kelvin , she’s not taking my calls too.
Where could she be? She blocked me I can’t reach her.
Kelvin i am worried because she’s pregnant.
What?
Yea, I am sorry I couldn’t tell you, she was trying to tell you the day you left..
I’ve been here for two months, that means she’s almost three months pregnant.. I’ll call you back later Jenny.
Kelvin walked down to his mother ward and overheard his parents discussing .
You’ve been here for two months, don’t you think it’s time to go home? His father asked.
No, not yet, if I leave now kelvin will go back to Ivy.. I have to keep pretending. Kelvin thought he is wise, soon Ivy will be out of the way..My brother is really doing a great job.. I got rid of Ivys mother and I will get rid of Ivy too..
You really k!lled Ivys mum?
No, honey I didn’t.
Kelvin heard too much, he went straight to his uncle’s office.
Kelvin you’re here, I was about going to your mothers room.
Okay uncle.. I am soo tired, I’ll just stay here till you are back, mum and dad are having fun.
Okay, enjoy yourself, there’s drink in the fridge. See you later.
Door closes..
Kelvin was fast enough to operate the cctv camera from the first day he was called about the accident, he saw how he’s mum walked in and how everything was planned..
After gathering all the evidence he went outside.
I’ve been such a fool, Ivy told me.. my life has been damaged..I left my pregnant woman for something that’s meaningless.. I can’t even reach Ivy
Hello Jenny! Have you gotten Ivy.
No, not yet..
I know she’s hurt, I don’t want her to hurt my child, I’ve neglected the most important thing in my life.
What’s happening?
You will not believe it if I say it, I can’t even say it.
Ivy was right? Your mother played you?
I just want to process everything , please help me find Ivy.
When are you coming back to London?
When I am done fixing things.
Episode 25 : Building a Stronger Relationship
Would you do anything for the people Soo important to you? Kelvin asked his parents.
Yeah, his father answered.
Sometimes life doesn’t give us everything, life takes some things from us.
Are you trying to talk about Ivy?
No mum, I am not trying to talk about Ivy, I had to leave her for your sake and sometimes I ask myself if it’s worth it.
It’s more than worth it Kelvin, family is family, we’ve also sacrificed a lot for you to be who you are today.
It’s been more than two months and I’ve been stuck here for no reason..
Knock knock!
Who’s that? His mother asked.
I think it’s uncle Joe.
Oh! It’s him..
Kelvin you have to excuse us, it’s time to change your mum’s bandage .
You’re not taking off her clothes right? Kelvin asked.
No, I am not…
Then there’s no point leaving, I just want to see if she’s healing, I haven’t really seen how the injury looks like and since you’re the one changing her, I am her son and I need to know what you’re actually treating.
Kelvin, we’ve been doing this without any arguments,so why trying to cause a scene, just leave let him fix me.
Are you hiding something? Is any of you hiding anything?
No, we’re not hiding anything..
Nobody leaves this room,
Where are you going Kelvin.
Nowhere,I just want to close the door and hold the key …
Mum! Get up.
I can’t stand up.
I said get up or I’ll help you.
What has gotten into you Kelvin?
You dare ask me what has gotten Into me dad?
Yes, what are you acting strange, this is not funny..
I haven’t been able to reach Ivy for some time now, I left her a night after our engagement cause you called me and told me mum had an accident, I rushed down here, stayed in this hospital for months only to find out that three of you are liars and trying to keep me away from the person that I love? You played with my job, my life,my relationship,my mental health for your selfish Intrest? What have I ever done wrong to you that you keep frustrating me every single day of my life.
I know it’s about Ivy, you have gone crazy Kelvin..
I have gone crazy? Well, I am not playing..get up mum, now! I mean right now, you think i don’t know? I overheard everything you and dad was saying, I watched you from the cctv footage and I saw you walk severally..get up!
Joe, take off the fake bandage fast.
I can’t do that Kelvin.
I’ll call the police, I have everything to pull this place down…
You don’t have to do this Kelvin, this is just a little misunderstanding..doctor joe said.
Since she doesn’t want to get up,remove the bandage,I am calling the authorities right now,don’t dare me.
The pressure was too much, they were shaking,Kelvin reached for his mother and removed the bandages from her body….
I still remember when Ivy’s mother died,it’s been years but I am going to trace it, you’re going to jail mum..
Kelvin let me explain.
Go on!!! Everyone please sit..no one is leaving this room till the police comes.
Forgive me for acting this way, I feel ivy has taken you away from us, the love you have for her is something else, she controls you,tells you what and what not to do.. I never liked her, I wanted my son close to me.
Would you have married me if I ask you to?
No,I am your mother,I can’t marry you.
So,why are you making life a living hell for me and ivy? Why did you keep me here for months? Why? Why? Even your brother and dad supported you
It’s not their fault,I talked them into it.. don’t go back to Ivy please.
Knock knock!
Who’s that?
It’s me,nurse Glory..
Opens door…
What is it? Kelvin asked.
Some police van is outside.
Police? Doctor joe asked.
Yes sir…
No way!!!
Thank you, tell them we’re coming…
Kelvin I thought we’re about to settle this issue.
No, we can’t settle it like this, this time you’re not using your influence to bail yourself,I am using mine to keep you there for as long as I and ivy are satisfied..
One more thing… Who k!lled my baby? Is it you mum??
Don’t ask me Kelvin.
I’ll find out… everybody out…
They went outside and were taken to the station..
Phone rings!
Kelvin.
Jenny, have you seen Ivy?
Yeah .j know where she is..
Keep an eye on her for me…I still have to settle some issues…I’ll send some money so you can get her anything she wants… Bye for now…
For two days Kelvin couldn’t sleep, so on the third day he paid Anna a visit with two police officer..
I wasn’t expecting you in my house Kelvin.
I know Anna, I just want you to cooperate,I know it’s been a long time but I have to awaken the case.
What case?
The murder of my baby, Ivy’s kidnap.
I have no hands in it Kelvin, I know I had a crush on you back then in school,believe me I didn’t do anything to Ivy..
Where’s Alice?
She’s not here.
Okay…let me allow these men to do their job…please take her away .. lock her together with my mother..
Kelvin wait.. let me talk, please don’t arrest me.
I’m listening…
It was your mother’s fault, we were both angry and we did it together, she gave me the stuff I gave to Ivy ,I am sorry,I made a mistake due to jealousy..
Oh! Thanks for confessing, is Alice nvolved ?
No, she’s not …
please take her to where my mother is..I need to go back to the hospital and find out about Ivy’s late mum.. thank you officer..
Kelvin went back to the hospital,it was difficult getting what he was looking for because it’s been years, he couldn’t trace it, so he went back to the station..
What I need is the truth then I’ll set y’all free.
This is the second time you’re arresting me because of Ivy.
Ivy is not involved in this arrest, you lied about your health, that’s not why I am here.. what happened to Ivy’s mum?
You want to know?
Yes..I already have the footage on my phone, I saw how you changed the injection immediately the nurse went for an errand for you…. Kelvin lied
Anna already told me about the kidnap and my child, you can’t run away this time,
I k!lled her, I changed the injection.. no matter what happens I am your mother Kelvin and I am did everything I did for you.
You made someone an orphan for my sake?
I didn’t k!ll her father.
You contributed to her father’s death.
You’re going to court mum… Thank God you have a daughter she’ll bring food for all of you….
Kelvin just let us go please.. uncle Joe said.
Your career just ended cause I am getting that hospital sealed by the government…false practices are going on there, you take bribe and you always do the wrong thing.
Please make sure they continue to stay here till court Handle their case, I’ll be leaving town in two days.
Why?
Going to settle issues with my wife.
You’re married?
About to…thanks…
POV
Knock knock …
Kelvin!
Christy.
Oh my! What. Surprise,I heard You’ve been in town for months but we haven’t really met, I saw what you’re doing to your parents.
Where did you see it?
On the news of course, it’s everywhere, how’s life?
Fine! Heard from Ivy.
Nope, she still hasn’t called.
We met in London, she’s different now..
Really?? You guys are still together right?
I think so,, we settled ,got engaged and separated again, my mother caused this one,ivy was right,I didn’t listen to her,I blame myself every day
When are you leaving?
Supposed to leave in two days,but I think I’ll leave tonight,Ivy is pregnant for me.
Kelvin,! You’re doing a good job,so you’re going to become a father soon.
Yeah..I’ll see you when I get back.
You’re coming back?
Yeah! My parents case will bring me back.
Please come with Ivy,please. I miss my cousin..
I will…take care Christy.
Thanks for stopping by! My regards to IVY and your baby.
While Kelvin’s parents remained in the police custody Kelvin came back and the first place he visited is my place,he was Soo lucky to meet me home
I wasn’t expecting you to come Soo soon..Jenny said.
You’re supposed to be at work Jenny.
You told me to keep an eye on IVY,so I am doing as you instructed. Jeny responded.
I got up and wanted to go leave the room.
I came here to talk to you IVY,you shouldn’t leave.
And who says I can’t leave my apartment?
I’m not asking you to leave your apartment I only said I want to talk to you..
About what Kelvin? Why do you keep coming back after messing up?
I’m sorry IVY,I wasn’t expecting everything to be a lie, she’s my mother and I did what every child would have done for his/her mother,I never neglected you..it’s still good I saw everything myself,maybe God wanted me to do what I’ve not been able to do all this years, I wasn’t blinded I was just trying to do the right thing.. how’s my baby?
What?
You don’t need to hide it, it’s showing all over you and Jenny told me.. how have you been Ivy?
Kelvin I don’t want this anymore, I saw everything,I saw what you did but it won’t make me take you back
I didn’t do it for you to take me back IVY, I did it because it’s the right thing to do…your parents were nice to me,..
Thank you, I don’t love you anymore, I will have this baby and nothing more…you were away for months and you think you can just come back here and get me.?
It’s fine if you don’t want me back, I am not trying to force you into loving me..seems I’ve been the one trying to make everything work and all I’ve done so far doesn’t make any sense to you, every little thing you just want to break up with me,avoid me,block me,you treat me as if I don’t have feelings..I am tired Ivy..my head is heavy and I can’t even think straight, my love for you has never been enough from the begining,it is either you break up with me or shut me out,what have I ever done wrong to you? Haven’t I been trying Soo hard to make you stay?
Well,I came to apologize and to know how my baby is doing,if you need anything you can call me,since you don’t want me,it’s fine…it will take a while but it will pass..bye Ivy.
Few minutes later….
Did Kelvin just leave?
No o, he’s outside waiting for you the goddess.
Stop playing Jenny.
Ivy,Kelvin Left.
Why?
You were expecting him to keep begging you? I guess he just realized it isn’t worth the stress, a man That can actually move mountains for you, you’re supposed to be grateful for all the love he has shown you,, do you think we still have such men in this life? We don’t ivy, his parents are behind bars for your sake,I know they hurt you but Kelvin has never hurt you.. were you expecting him to stay and let his mother die?
There was no accident.
I mean if it was really true? They’re still his family and he needed to leave,but it’s good he confirmed everything,you should be thankful he did all the findings without involving you…
I am really tired Jenny.
Now it’s your turn to go for him cause he will not come back for you.
He will come back.
Let’s watch,,,
I unblocked him and waited for his call but got none,no text messages too.
Four days passed and he still didn’t call or even visited..
I began to get scared and worried…I couldn’t sleep anymore.
On the fifth day I went to his house,knocked on his door and he opened.
Hi Kelvin…
Ivy, what are you doing here?
Nothing much,I just came to take my properties, my clothes ,shoes and bags.
You should have told Jenny to come get them,or I would have brought them myself.
Don’t worry,let me just go in and pick them up.
It’s up to you…Kelvin said and sat down.
I went to his room, got confused and just sat down thinking of what next to do when he opened the door.
It’s been more than 20 minutes, are you done?
Not yet..I am looking for something I dropped.
What’s that?
One of my precious property,I can’t find it.
Tell me and I’ll help you find it..
It’s with you Kelvin.
What’s with me?
Do you still have my ring?
I do..
I need it…I am sorry.
And!???
I didn’t mean those words I said.
And???
I Love You…
Say it loud Ivy.
Kelvin please stop.
I want you to scream it, I want to hear it, don’t whisper it…
I Love youuuuuuu……
That’s better…. I love you too ……..
Episode 26 : Love Triumphs Over All Obstacles
I never knew you could apologize to me Ivy, what happened?
I was wrong about everything’ I wanted to free myself from the burden.
That’s that.. don’t ever threaten me with break up again.
Is that a warning?
No, it’s not..
About your parents, what’s your plan?
Plan? I don’t have any plan for them..
You should release them.
Are you really telling me to bring them out? You wanted this .
Sometimes being tough isn’t the best way, they hurt me, they took my parents lives but it’s still doesn’t worth it at the end.
What if they come for you again?? My mother will not rest Ivy’ now that you’re pregnant it’s not safe for you.
I was thinking about us going back home.
Why?
I left my family Kelvin and I want back my father’s house, that’s the only memory of my parents , I didn’t sell it so it will be easy to get it back.
Fine, we’ll go .
We went back home, I was able to see Anna and his parents in the police custody, kelvin never wanted to free them but I pleaded with him again and he ordered for their release.
Ivy , I’m sorry I never meant for it to happen this way, I was jealous of you always getting everything, forgive me. Anna said .
It’s fine Anna, I am glad you already paid a liltle of your sins, I forgive you but we still can’t be friends..
I’ll never apologize to you Ivy, you deserve everything that happened to you, I’ll keep praying , one day Kelvin will be free from you and your charms.. Kelvin’s mother said.
I wasn’t expecting you to apologize.. it gives me joy knowing that you spent more than a week here.
It’s still better than spending eternity in the grave.. she added.
I told you Ivy, let’s go. Kelvin said as he dragged me outside.
I told him to take me to my cousins place, we got there and I was soo happy to see Christy, she already have two kids and a husband.
I apologized for not reaching out , I decided to spend the night in her place, we talked about soo many things .
In the morning kelvin came and drove me to my fathers house, I explained to the occupants and he understood without any argument.. I got my fathers house back and I felt fulfilled.
Kelvin met with my uncles and he was accepted, I invited Jenny over so we could plan my wedding together, Kelvin’s mum didn’t stop sending me annoying texts, I ignored her and focused on my plans.
In less than two weeks everything was set, on the day of our wedding I was excited and sad, my fathers suposed to walk me in but my uncle did.. reflecting on everything, my life, struggles and pains I almost destroyed my makeup..
I looked around, saw Kelvin’s dad but didn’t see his mum..
We were officially joined together , we proceeded to the reception..We we’re taking pictures when Kelvin’s dad whispered something to him
Your mother had an accident kelvin..
She’ll be fine.. allow me enjoy my day dad, this could be one of her tricks to stop my wedding.
Kelvin’s father left immediately to the hospital she was taken to.
What happened? How come? He asked.
Where’s kelvin? She asked.
He’s with Ivy, the wedding is still on.
Please help me tell him I am sorry, tell Ivy I am sorry too.
You have to tell them yourself .
My system can’t hold on any longer, it hurts me soo much that I will not be able to see my first grandchild .
Stop talking, calm down..we’ll talk about this when you’re okay!!
Kelvin’s mum couldn’t fight so she gave up and died.. all efforts to revive her proved negative.
Kelvin’s father called and broke the news to us..
I and kelvin went there after the wedding only for us to see her lifeless body.. his father passed her message to us.
“ who’s spending forever now in the grave?”” I said to myself..
Wishing others evil when they did nothing, the evil will always come back to you”.
I think I can now stay in my fathers house in peace, i and Kelvin’s mum had no relationship, I have no good memory of her , so it was difficult mourning her death.
Kelvin acted strong, what she lied about went straight to her..
Days later she was buried ..
Life continues, my marriage with kelvin wasn’t perfect, but we tend to always sort out our issues.. fast forward to nine months I gave birth to our baby, life was easy, I wasn’t running from anything.
