Episode 16 : Olivia’s Health Issues and Financial Struggles
The party ended, the guests left, Dave refused to leave..
Dave, it’s time to go, party has ended..
I want to spend time with my daughter, I haven’t been part of her life for years now, it hurts me soo bad, I wasn’t here to see her crawl, take her first step, I missed all the important things.. I’ll be ready for my parents soon.. he said.
Dave, still you have to go..
Can we talk?
Talk about what?
Everything… I want us to talk, let’s go to your room..
Dave, I hope it’s not what I am thinking? Mum asked.
What are you thinking? Oh, I know.. Erica is no longer a child ma..
We went to my room, Dave locked the door..
Erica, I am very sorry for everything you went through, it wasn’t my plan.. I didn’t abandon you… I can’t abandon you.. my parents masterminded everything.
Your parents masterminded everything?? Dave you left for years without contacting me, you refused to come back, I was in serious pain.. I couldn’t bear the responsibility of raising our daughter alone,, if you truly loves me you’d have com back, at least just once.. I tried taking your number from everyone I know but they always gave me same excuses, “Dave’s parents said I shouldn’t give you, they may arrest me “.
I was in labour, I gave birth without any money, your parents chased my parents out, Simon had to sell his land, my family sold most of their properties to pay the bills,, oh I forgot to mention your mother, your mother gave me drugs that made me bleed, I almost lost Olivia.. she wanted me and my daughter dead..
My mother?? Erica, I was in school suffering for your sake, I tried coming back twice, my parents got me arrested, they stopped sending money to me cause of you, I had to stop pressuring them about you..coming bcak now wasn’t easy, I had to accept their offer of a wife just to come back, they even threatened to arrest you if I ever try to com back for you ,, I know I did not try, my explanations won’t justify anything. It hurts me all bad that my own parents lied to me about everything, they lied about my daughter.. I am soo sorry..I didn’t stop loving you, it was very difficult to cope without you in school, I love you still Erica, please, accept me for the sake of our child..
I already love Kelvin, and he left cause of you,, I can’t be with you anymore, your parents are evil, they may even kill me..
You really love kelvin? But Erica, how old is your relationship with kelvin?you moved on soo fast..
You want to tell me you’ve been single since you left?
Not at all, I had two relationships, but it didn’t end well,, I couldn’t love them..
Dave please, let’s end this discussion.
Tell me about kelvin,, has he touched you?
Dave, what is the meaning of this question? Kelvin is my fiancé, and anything can actually happen between us okay?
I no longer want anything to happen between you and kelvin,I don’t want to imagine it Erica.
We made a promise, remember?? And I am not breaking it… we promise to be together forever no matter what happens..
That was in the past dave,, those are mere words.
Mere words that brought me back to you?? Mere words that broke my previous relationship??Erica, can’t you see?? We’re inlove and you cannot deny it..
You must be out of your mind dave.. we’re done talking,, please open the door..
Dave opened the door… We went to the sitting room..
Kelvin has been calling, Bella said.
Why did he leave soo soon? Mum asked.
He left cause of Dave..I responded .
I think I should call him back, or even go to his house..
But com to think of it Dave.. you should be ashamed of yourself.. my dad told him.
I heard your own part of the story, but it still doesn’t make any sense to me,, were your hands tied? Why didn’t you come back when you couldn’t hear from The woman you claimed to love? And by the way let me tell you something, biologically you’re Olivia’s father, but traditionally you’re not.. You can visit but you don’t own Olivia, you’re not married to Erica so do not claim ownership, afterall you put Erica in a big mess, a young girl givin hersef to you all in the name of love. I haven’t forgotten how your parents humiliated us cause of you..
Dad, it’s okay.. I know how painful it is remembering those days, Dave was also trying to protect Erica.. Bella interrupted.
Erica please tell Dave to leave,, he has overstayed dad said.
No matter how hard I try to explain myself to you, it still won’t change the way you see me..I am sorry for not coming initially..
I know how Erica suffered hawking under the rain with her pregnancy and even after she gave birth.. dave, you cannot be accepted..
Dave, you have to go..I told him.
Can I take Olivia with me?I want to get her something..dave said.
No Dave,you can’t take Olivia,you can bring whatever you want for her but you can’t take her..
I think you should go meet kelvin,mum said.
I think you should not go meet kelvin, granny responded.
Kelvin left without any notice Erica, allow him com back.. granny said again..
Dave finally left..
Erica, Don’t let your emotions take over your brain…. You want to go meet kelvin? And ask him what? Why he left?? You already know he left cause of Dave… is he supposed to? No he isn’t,, you and Dave have no relationship now, kelvin should learn to accept the fact that Dave is Olivia’s father, he shouldn’t be angry if Dave is seen with you or his daughter.. by the way, you didn’t tell me how the last meeting went..
Granny, the parents still did not accept me, they told me to leave kelvin alone.. it was an issue after I left..kelvin got angry with me..
You mean his parents are yet to allow kelvin marry you? Simon asked.
But Erica, do you really love kelvin?? Mum asked.
I love kelvin mum, I am still growing my love for him..
Let’s hope his parents accepts you, otherwise you will have to fall back to dave, afterall he’s is the father of your child..Bella said
I can never accept dave to marry Erica, dad continued…. Erica, don’t even think about it, you still want to accept a man that left you when you needed him??
No dad, I don’t want to accept dave back in my life.. I answered..
Have you broken the promise you guys made to each other? Granny.
What??You both made a promise??mum asked.
Yes mum, that was then…granny must you say everything??
Sorry Erica, the bond between you and Dave is something else, you already have a child for him..
Erica, look at what love has done to you, you were not thinking straight, I pray you raise your child very well in the fear of God.. so she will not make this mistake you’ve made..mum said.
Does it mean you didn’t raise Erica very well?? Granny asked my mum.
Episode 17 : New Business Ventures and Personal Growth
I feel you are supporting Erica granny,, mum said.
No, I am not supporting Erica, she is a child that still needs guidance, her pregnancy was as a result of you and her father, including Simon,, the beatings, the neglect, she left home for days and you guys didn’t look for her.. she decided to spread her wings.. and when she got pregnant, you neglected her and starved her,, I took Erica in and I realized her pain, that was in the past.. Erica my child.. I will always tell you to be careful.
Now I see why she is always with you, dad said..
Let’s go home, party is over,, Bella, we have lots of things to do..mum responded.
They left and it was just me and my daughter.
That evening kelvin came back..
Erica, it is very obvious you still have feelings for Dave, cause I left and you did not call or text to know the reason why I left…
I should have called you?? When you left without any notice, kelvin my family noticed you’re behavior,, I already know why you left, you left cause you saw Dave… listen, no matter what happens dave is still the father of Olivia, and now that he knows, I can’t separate him from his daughter
Oh I see, my parents were right..
Your parents were right? How? I should deny Dave acces to his child??
He is not married to you yet,, stop catching feelings for Dave… tell him to stop visiting you… you can let him take Olivia..
Kelvin,, I can’t let Dave take Olivia,, I am not catching feelings, I am only doing what is right..can we stop all this, I see Dave has been our problem since he came back, I am getting tired of all this already.. wasup? Has your parents changed their mind yet??
No, they haven’t.. I am still trying to persuade them.
It’s alright… let’s hope.
Dave went to meet his parents..
I already know the truth..
What truth?
Dad/ mum,, you lied to me about everything, Erica gave birth without my knowledge and you hid it from me, you didn’t support your grandchild, why??
Dave’s mum::You can that child your child? Erica is still using you against us ‘your parents..
Dave:: What kind of parents are you? Denying me my happiness, making me suffer cause of an innocent girl that I broke.. inasmuch as she did nothing wrong to you, what about my daughter? What did ny daughter do to you??
Dave’s dad: I knew it will come to this dave, but you are fighting a war you cannot finish, don’t forget you still stay in this house,, and if Erica is your problem then you don’t have a problem at all..
Dave’s mum::You don’t know when to stop Dave, you really don’t..I will make sure you and Erica hate yourself, what type of love do you share?? Is Erica the only woman in this world.
Dave: if I notice or feel any hatred coming from Erica, then you will not have peace mum.. you can’t rob me of my happiness and expect me to be cool with you.
Dave’s dad: your wedding is in two weeks dave, I’ve sent out the cards for printing.. we had an agreement..
Dave:: you should put your name as the groom dad, I am not getting married to anyone if it’s not Erica… I want to raise my daughter together with Erica.. and if you feel I do not have my own money then you don’t know me at all… I will not rest until you pay for every pain you’ve caused me.. my daughter grew up without me and it’s all your fault..
Dave’s mum: Erica will definitely regret meeting you when I am done dealing with her and her family.
Dave: if anything happens to Erica, my daughter and her family, then be ready for me.. for now you’re not my mum and your husband is not my father..I can’t forgive you..
I can no longer stay in this house..
Dave moved out from his parents house to his new apartment.
3 days later,I was in my shop when Dave’s mum came.
Erica, where’s my son??
Your son?? I don’t understand.
Erica, I’ve been looking for Dave for days now, where’s Dave? Where are you hiding him?
Please leave my shop, I don’t know why I am answering you, you’re evil and very wicked,, please leave..
Erica, you’re playing with me, you had the guts to tell Dave everything,, you think he will marry you? Leave Dave alone.
Tell Dave to leave me alone,oh! You can’t tell him to leave me alone cause it will be war right? Ah! Dave left home for days,, poor Dave with bad parents.. see’ I am not scared of you or your husband. And you cannot do anything.. if anything happens to me or my child be ready for my family..
Erica, I did it before, I will do it again.
I won’t fight you,, Dave will.. now leave..
She left raining insults on me and my daughter
I was wondering where Dave went, if he’s not home then he’s not with prince, well… it’ shouldn’t be my problem..
Episode 18 : Encounter with Dave’s Family and Emotional Turmoil
I looked at my daughter and smiled 😊
I know your Dad will fight for us, but right now kelvin is the man on my mind…I told my daughter..
Hello granny,, can I visit??
Erica, if it’s about Dave and kelvin,, I have no advice for you..
Please granny, it’s very important..
Okay, you can come, bring Olivia for me..
I got to my granny’s place, met her weeding her little farm.
Erica, sit.. what’s wrong this time??
Dave’s mum came to my shop, she said Dave left home and she hasn’t seen him for days,, she threatened me..
Soo, why are you worried??
Dave’s mum can go any length to separate Dave from his daughter, I’m just worried about everything.
Has Dave visited?
No, after Olivia’s birthday party, I’ve not seen Dave. I hope he is alright…
Erica, I know you’re worried about Dave, don’t you think you also need to talk to your mother about everything, I think Dave is just trying to cool off from everything that has happened, it’s a lot to handle right now,, you’re with kelvin, Olivia is his daughter, his parents are bad, his friends, and soo on.. he’s dealing with lots of things now..
I would have called him but I don’t have his number..
My child, you still love Dave..
Nooo, I just feel he shouldn’t go through all this pain alone… granny, it’s kelvin na..
You mean the man his parents rejected you?? Erica, please go home and think about everything.. do you want Olivia to grow with you and Dave? Or you want to start a family with Kelvin?? Remember once rejected cannot be accepted, I know Dave’s parents doesn’t like you, it is either you remain single or you find someone else… cause no matter how you try, kelvin is way out of it.. go talk to your mother and your father..
I will granny, let me go home first, I forgot Olivia’s drugs, I’ll visit my parents tomorrow,, and by the way Bella is coming home with her fiancé, I think it’s for introduction.. bye granny..
I got home and met Dave.. my heart skipped a bit..
Where have you been Dave?
Have you been looking for me?
Not at all, your mum came to my shop and threw her normal stunt..
My mother came to your shop?? She will not rest..Anyway I came to see my daughter and I came to talk to you..
Look! Everything happens for a reason and I am not here to talk about the past anymore, we have a child and we have to plan for her future, I don’t want her to grow in another man’s home.. your dad said something the other day, “”he said since I am not legeally married to you I have no right over Olivia”. And I want to raise my child in love..Erica, what do you have to say??
I have nothing to say.. I opened my door and went in, Dave went in with me..
Dave, see,, I have a man in my life now, I can’t betray Him, kelvin has played his role and he is perfect for me..
So, I am not perfect for you??
You’re not..
Can you just stop talking about kelvin let’s plan our lives with our child? You know you will not marry kelvin , you can’t.. Erica, do you still love me?
No Dave, I no longer love you.. I stopped loving you a long time ago, I stopped hoping, o stopped waiting,and I stopped praying.. you’re my past now.. Olivia shouldn’t be the reason for anything.. your parents will eventually do everything to stop us.. I can’t put my life on the line cause of you Dave..I am sorry, I am no longer fighting for you..
You’re not fighting for me,, I am fighting for you, I am fighting my parents for you.. I’ve been fighting for us, Erica please, I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, my sanity is at risk.. have you forgotten how we couldn’t stay without each other? How we left home just to be together??Have you forgotten everything that happens between us?? The promise we made??Don’t push me away, I may not survive it..I’ll die if you leave me for Kelvin..
Dave I am sorry, my mind is made up… I can’t tell kelvin to leave..
Do you still love me? Do you love me?? Has the love died??tell me the truth..tell me you don’t love me and I’ll leave..
You want to leave again? You want to leave me? Dave I love you, but I can’t do this anymore.. I can’t be with you..
Shhhhh 🤫
Dave pulled me closed and kissed me.. 😊 oh! That feeling!!!
Olivia is watching Dave,
We’re her parents Erica.. I love you ❤️
Episode 19 : Strengthening Family Bonds
I finished caring for Olivia, I fed her and put her to sleep.
Dave was still with me, he kept staring and I was becoming uncomfortable.
Let’s go meet your parents tomorrow, I want to legally own you and my daughter..
We can’t go tomorrow, I need to take Olivia to the hospital..
Why? Is she sick?
She’s suffering from pneumonia… it was as a result of how I suffered with her under the rain and how I also exposed her to cold..
Still talking when we heard Olivia’s voice from her room.
Mummy… she paused.
We rushed to her room and found her lying on the floor helplessly..
Ah, it has started..
Olivia! Olivia! Dave called out.
Let’s take her to the hospital immediately .
We took her to the hospital and she was admitted..
I started crying, and I asked dave to leave..
Dave leave, your parents caused this, you also caused this, I don’t want to remember anything, my child is suffering cause of me and your neglect..
Erica, I’m sorry,, don’t tell me to leave please, she’ll be fine.
Kelvin called.
Erica, where are you? I’m in your house..And why are you crying? Is everything okay?just tell me where you are.
I’m in the hospital, It’s Olivia.
I’m coming right away..
Kelvin arrived and saw dave..
Erica, how’s she?? Come let me hug you..
She’s just there, the doctors hasn’t said anything..
She’ll be fine, what is Dave doing here? How did he get here Befor me?
Kelvin, are we talking about dave or my child?
I just want to know how he got here soo quickly and why you didn’t call me about the situation.
Kelvin, dave is her father.. dave was with me at home Befor it happened… I need to go see the doctor.
I left him and dave to actually cook off, then kelvin started.
Dave, I know you’re the father, but shouldn’t it be wise that you stop following Erica about? I mean, she doesn’t want you, stop trying to win her back..
She doesn’t want me? You’re sure about that? Kelvin, look.. I can’t talk to you about anything.. I am here for my child.. you should also be focused on the well being of Olivia now, not Erica that has her choice to make..I need to go meet the doctor..
Moments later, Olivia gained consciousness … doctor brought the bill and handed it over to kelvin. Kelvin is the man the doctor is familiar with.
How much is the bill doctor? Dave asked.
There’s no need to ask Dave, I’m paying..kelvin responded.
You won’t pay the bill kelvin, she’s my daughter and my responsibility..
They were arguing, I got angry, paid the bill, carried Olivia’ and left..
Two days later, I was home when I heard a knock on my door..
I opened the door and saw a man and a woman..
What’s happening? Who are you??I asked them.
You’re under aresst miss Erica,
For what?
For kidnapping..and destroying of Dave’s mum properties..
I don’t understand what you guys are saying, kidnapping?? Who did I kidnap??
When we get to the station you will know..
please let’s go.
We got to the station and I saw Dave’s mum.
She was crying asif she lost her husband..
That’s the girl that destroyed my properties, she kidnapped my granddaughter..
I was defending myself when Daves mum came close to me and gave me a slap twice..
You think you will win this war Erica?? This is just the beginning..
They took me in, I asked to make a call..
I called my parents and told them about the situation at hand,, please tell Bella to help me pick Olivia from school..
Erica, I told you to leave this Dave of a boy, his parents won’t rest until you give up..
Just help me pick and care for my child.. she’s still recovering..I was still talking with my mum when a policeman took the phone from me
I have a sick child in school, please release me let me go attend to my daughter, I don’t know what I did to Deserve this..
Next tim, when they tell you to stay away, you will.. one of the man said.
Few hours later, my parents came with food.
Where’s Olivia? I asked.
She’s with granny..
Erica, kelvin said he’s coming.. you need to stop crying and eat… mum said.
Dave has been calling, he said he has gone to your house but you’re not there,,
What did you tell him Bella,
I didn’t answer him.
Why????? Why???? He should know..tell him his mum arrested me.. I am without my daughter..
I will call him..
Few minutes later, Kelvin came.
He asked what happend I told him and he decided to say what he has been dying.
Erica, since Dave arrived, it has been from one problem to another, I don’t think I want all this drama, we should be apart from now, I am sorry you’re going through this, but I can’t involve myself, I love you but I have to end this.. I can’t fight Dave’s parents..and since my parents are yet to accept you Theres no need to proceed,I’ll just take the advice my parents gave me.. here! I got food for you..
My parents and I watch Kelvin drop the food and left..
I never liked kelvin though.. he’s too soft for a man. Bella said..
They finally left and I passed the night in the cell without my daughter..
The next morning Dave came…
Bella told me you’re here, no one told me what happend.
Your parents arrested me, they lied against me,, they accused me of kidnapping my own daughter and destroying their properties.
I’ll be back later Erica.
Dave left..
Lilian where’s mum?
She’s inside with dad…
Finally, Dave is here..
Dave’s mum::Erica is the only person that can really drag you back home, that girl bewitched you, she cooked something for you, and the poison has eaten you soo deep.
Dave: release the innocent girl..
Dave’s dad:: No dave, we had an agreement and you’re not acting right.. soo let Erica stay there since she’s the reason you left home..
Dave:: I see no reason why you paid those policemen to arrest an innocent girl, the mother of your grandchild.. you both are supposed to be in that cell not Erica..
Dave’s mum:: marry the girl we kept for you and I’ll withdraw my charges against Erica..if not she’ll spend the rest of her life in that cell and I will take up the case to court..
Dave: There’s no need mum.. I am not getting married to anyone that’s not Erica.. I won’t beg you to release Erica anymore.. I’ll do it myself.. and if I succeed in bringing her out and she rejects me again, then I have nothing to live for.. I guess you will be happy to see me dead,,there’s no me without Erica.. and if I eventually die, you will not torment her again..goodbye..
Dave’s mum: honey don’t mind him, he is joking… you can’t threaten us Dave..
Dave came back and pleaded with me to be patient..
I’ll get you out Erica, I’m sorry.. I went to see Olivia but granny asked me to leave.
If I successfully come out dave, I don’t think I want to ever you close to me and Olivia.. you’ve caused nothing but pain to us..
Erica, it’s my fault, I take the blame..Let me talk to the DPO.. I’ll be back.
Dave met with the DPO and explained everything to him..
Erica is the mother of my child, she’s innocent, my parents just hate her for no cause,, I no longer have acces to my daughter cause the mother is here, I want her case to be cancelled please..
There’s nothing we can do Dave, there’s no evidence, I’m sorry, talk to your parents..
I’ll pay double of what they paid you..
No Dave,, please, leave my office.. I work for your parents not you..
Dave left,,and remembered he was arrested twice back then in school and it was a top police officer that assisted him.
He called and explained everything to him..
What’s the name of the DPO there? His friend asked.
He’s name is Mr Godwin..
Oh! Godwin,, so he is taking bribe, I’ll call him right away dave.. in the next 30 minutes Erica will be out.
Dave was outside when the DPO called him..
Please come to my office dave.
You shouldn’t have called him, I was working on it.. I love my job and I don’t want to be sacked.. I’ve ordered for her freedom.. please we’re friends.
I want you to call my parents Mr Godwin..they have to sign an undertaken.. I don’t want to see them near me or Erica.. if not you’ll loose your job.
He quickly called Dave’s parents and they arrived shortly, they were surprised how Dave did it.. well, they signed the undertaken and I left..
Episode 20 : Finding New Love and Moving Forward
My family was already in my house.
Erica, you have a visitor ,, mum said.
Dave, didn’t I tell you not to stay away from me and Olivia? You don’t listen right??
You think it’s easy to leave you and the little human that matters to me in this world? You think it’s soo easy to leave everything I’ve fought for behind? Erica, do not start please, you’re all I have right now..
Erica can’t be with you Dave, your parents might kill my daughter.. mum said.
I can’t leave without my family ma.. Dave said.
Dave, if you misbehave here , I will get you arrested this time. Dad told him.
I’m not scared of going to cell sir, I’ve been there twice cause of Erica.. it is nothing to me..
Dave please just go..
I’m not leaving without my daughter Erica, I was denied acces to her when you were arrested… this is my only chance to hold her..
Dave was being too stubborn.
Erica please go with Dave, I’m tired of seeing him here.. Simon said.
Erica? Do you want to go with Dave?? Granny asked me.
No granny, Dave is pain to me,, I go through hell cause of him.. I can’t go with him..
Dave just go, I will call you, please just go..
And if you don’t call me??
I will call you.. just leave, I need time to put myself together..
Dave left. Moments later kelvin came.
What are you doing here??
Erica, I’m sorry for everything,, I came to apologize to clear my conscience from killing me.
But kelvin, you left when Erica was arrested, I expected you to stand by her..
Well it’s not your fault kelvin,, I am fine now.. thanks for stopping by..
I’m getting married Erica, I found the woman my parents wants for me.. I hope you come grace the occasion?
Congratulations kelvin.. Happy for you..
How’s Dave? Are you guys back together?
Yes, they’re back together, granny responded..
I’ll be leaving now, here! I got this for Olivia.. take care Erica…
Kelvin has guts, imagine him coming back to apologize for what he did.
Come to think of it, he was saving himself from future embarrassment, Erica’s arrest was as a result of Dave not kelvin.
You really do not have to blame kelvin for breaking up with you..
I am happy he said it himself..it would have difficult to tell him..
You wanted to break up with kelvin Erica?
Yes dad..
Why??
I thought Dave and I will finally solve everything initially, but I’m glad everything happened this way… his parents wil not be able to laugh at him again..
Sincerely speaking Erica, Dave did a-lot for you, see the extent he went to get you out from cell..Bella said.
I really need to rest now, I am tired of everything..
Dave went to his parents place and finally destroyed their property…
You lied against Erica that she destroyed your properties… I had to make it reality…
Dave, you can really go extreme for Erica??
More than extreme dad..
She’s a woman I respect Soo much…and nobody will separate me and Erica, I’ll be going back ther tomorrow if she rejects me again then I will kill myself..
My son has gone crazy 😞the school you went to was totally a waste of time.
You’re right mum, I can’t accept evil cause I don’t do evil.. and since you’ve decided to be wicked for no reason,people will definitely pay you back in your own coin 🪙
It was Dave’s mum meeting day, they gathered and were discussing when dave stormed the place..
What are you doing here dave??
Nothing mum, I just came to say something..
Greetings all.. I want to address some issues here.., I heard my mum is the head of this meeting, well my mum here should be demoted,she is a liar and a manipulator,,she got my wife arrested for no cause and she denied her own grandchild..
I heard about it but I was scared to say it, a woman said.
Dave, please stop.. I’m your mother.. stop this embarrassment.
In no time, they voted for someone else and asked her to quit coming for the meeting.. Dave’s mum left the meeting in shame..
I’ll be coming for dad too.. I’ll strip him off his title as the chief..
Dave made sure his father title was taken from him..
I told you I will fight you if you go for Erica.. plot another plan, I will always be ahead of you both..
I expected dave the next day but he didn’t come..
I couldn’t sleep, kelvin has left me, I don’t want Dave to leave..
Hello granny, Dave hasn’t showed up..
Have you heard ?
Heard what?
Bella is here with her fiance, and the town is talking about Dave’s parents, dave has proven himself Erica..
I don’t understand granny..
Soon you will understand,, go look for your man..
I hope you will forgive dave and accept him back, he is the father of your daughter and he really loves you.
but first of all come home and witness your sister’s introduction..
I hurriedly went home and Bella’s pride price was paid…
I’m soo happy for you Bella, the examples you set is worth emulating.. congratulations
Thanks kid sis, soon it will be your turn.. has dave visited yet?
Not yet..
I heard what he did to his parents. Why not look for him.?? Or you no longer love him??
I love dave Bella,, I hope he comes today..
Bella, I am so proud of you, you’ve turned my shame to glory.. my dad told her..
I pray your brother Simon marry soon too.
What about Erica dad,, will you accept dave if he comes??
No Bella..
Dad, you have no choice than to accept the father of my child… I love dave and I am going to marry him.
Let him come first, I heard what he did..
I need to go home now..
I went home and wanted to call dave but I controlled myself..
Knock knock!!!!
Who’s there?
Olivia’s daddy..
With a smile on my face I opened the door.
Shhh… don’t wake Olivia.. she’s sleeping.. why have you decided to come by this time??
I want you Erica..
What about kelvin??
Kelvin broke up with me cause of you.
He already know he isn’t going to win.. but how can he be soo careless,, well, I am glad he left… I don’t have to fight him,, he fought himself..
So should I leave??
Yesss, leave…
Is there any name to replace the word love??
I made a promise to you and I am not breaking it, I remember everything that happens that night, even the night after and after and after..
I am at peace with you.. I love you Erica.. my body yearns for you… I need you to be mine..
Tell me you feel same way..
At this point.. I needed dave to just hold me and do what he knows how to do best..
I feel same way too Dave.. I love you.. I love you..
I didn’t know when we began to kiss.. this time it was all I ever wanted .
Can I kiss you for hours, for the whole night?dave asked
Won’t you get tired?
No Erica, I can’t get tired of you.. I love you.
I love you too dave.. I really miss you.. it was difficult for me to move on..
Let’s get married and leave this town.. let’s go somewhere to start our lives afresh with no one to threaten us..
What about my business??
All will be settled as soon as we relocate.
I will miss my granny Dave, I can’t leave her..
We will visit from time to time..
We slept together that night.. it was I, Dave and Olivia..
Finally, Dave came home to tell my parents about his intentions..
I want to marry Erica, I need Olivia to be traditionally and legally mine..
It’s okay dave, your braveey inspired me, you can start anything you want to do now.
Dad, you accept Dave?
I know you will just cry if I don’t,, I see that Dave loves you more..
We did everything, it was an indoor marriage..
Dave’s parents came to apologize..
I can’t forgive your parents for what they did to me.. Olivia will grow up knowing how you both tormented us..
Mum/dad,, it’s too late now.. we’re leaving town and you will never find us..
We’re sorry Erica, Dave please , we made a mistake, let’s spend time with our grandchild..forgive us..
Let’s go Dave.. you can forgive them, they’re your parents, but I can’t.. everything pain I went through is still fresh in my memory..
We were leaving when I saw kelvin..
Erica, please wait..
Kelvin, what’s wrong??
i heard you got married.
Yea, why?
I miss you.. I am finding it difficult to love my wife to be..
Let’s go Erica, it’s getting late..Dave said
I’m sorry kelvin, there’s nothing I can do.. I’m with Dave now.. I hope you find happiness..
We finally relocated..
Dave’s parents couldn’t get to us.. we blocked them from communicating with us..
We no longer need them in our lives.
Dave’s sister gained admission and sometimes she visits.
Bella got married, Simon renovated my fathers house. And I invited granny to stay with us. I couldn’t miss the woman who gave me the perfect advice….
Olivia finally recognized dave as her father..
But Erica, why did you lie that Olivia’s fathers is dead?? Dave asked.
I wanted you to feel the pain I felt 😊
Erica couldn’t stop waiting for you dave, granny said.
I think I am ready for another child, don’t you think so Erica?
I’m not ready dave..
I paid everything, I’m not owing your father.. I’ll be in my room..
Erica, go and meet your husband, I’ll put Olivia to sleep.. he owns you now.
Granny,, but I want to stay with you .
You don’t want to,, go to your room and perform your rites..
Ericaaaaa,, dave called out.
Davee… calm down..
Dave came out and dragged me to his room, it was a very funny situation..
And yea, what you have in mind happend 😛
