Episode 26 : Unexpected Twists and New Beginnings
I went to my grandmas place, she wholeheartedly welcomed me…. I didn’t know how Bryan got to know , he came immediately..
Bianca, lets talk about this.
There’s nothing to talk about Bryan, I am not angry with you.. I’m glad you came..
Where’s your grandma?
She’s inside.
I just want to ask her what really happened, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you anything, I went back to Stella’s place and she told me that I should ask your grandma what you did.
What I did? Could I possibly do anything or offend her at two??
It’s unnatural, let’s just find out.
Bryan, I no longer care about stella.. I want my peace of mind now.
I know, but let’s know why she left you and why she doesn’t want to even apologize.
I agreed to what he said.. We decided to ask my granny.
I met with your daughter, Bianca’s mother and she said I should ask you what bianca did, as a matter of fact she already met bianca and she wasn’t happy at all, she even chased us out, what really happened? Bryan asked.
Honestly, Bianca’s mother stella, got pregnant out of wedlock, but the man responsible married her immediately we found out she was pregnant, he did everything, he never for once owe anything.. Stella is a very stubborn child, she gave birth and refused to go back to her husband’s place.
She came home one day , and said she wants to eat, I made food and told her I was going out, I went out, I never knew she has left the house immediately I went out.
Bianca being lonely and crying for her mother left the house too, she was just walking to an unknown destination when the neighbors saw her, they called her father and told him, he came and waited for stella to return.
She didn’t return, she came back in the morning, out of anger he almost killed her, he kept punching her and beating her..
He took bianca from us, I was restless so I went to plead with him so I can care for bianca, he gave her to me,, when I returned home I met stella and asked why she’s neglecting her child.
She said she wasn’t ready to become a mother and Bianca’s father got her pregnant on purpose, after all she wanted a male child not a female child,
I tried to talk to her but she wasn’t listening, Bianca’s father got tired and ended the marriage, he got married shortly.
She was angry, she started raining curse on bianca saying she will never get married, she feels bianca is the cause of her misfortune, cause her father always fight with her whenever she neglects bianca, when I am not around she doesn’t feed her daughter.
She said since there’s no more marriage bianca do not need to stay with her as she wants to live herself without any distractions..
Then she took bianca out and came back, her father came for bianca but she said she was robbed and bianca was killed and taken away.
You were robbed and no bruises? I slapped her, Bianca’s father got her arrested and released her.. he said until she provide bianca they have no business together,
So many things occurred bianca, your life as a child was hell, your mother wasn’t thinking , I am surprised she is still the same person
Well, she just ruined my marriage..
Was she cheating on Bianca’s father?
No she wasn’t.. she just hate her own daughter.
Where’s her father?
I have no idea, stella said he is dead.. I know he is still alive somewhere.
Do you want us to find your father? Bryan asked.
No.. he’s a nice person but no.. it’s been hell looking for my parents already.. let’s forget about it..
Bianca, I will marry you.. your mother is not God.
Hello mr Bryan.
Yes Stephen , wassup.
I’ve found the man who owns the building.
I’ll be there shortly.. hangs up
Bianca just stay here with your granny..
Where are you going to?
I have a meeting.
Same thing you said when you were going to meet Susan, Bryan. I know you are going to meet stella
I’m not.. see you later.
Bryan left
POV
Bryan went to Stella’s place , he met the man and they bargained, he paid him immediately.
Stella who doesn’t know what was happening was confused as the man asked her to take her belongings and leave.
What’s going on? She asked
This building has been bought.
By who??
Mr Bryan..
Bryan?
Yes stella, I bought it and I want you to leave right now.
Why are you doing this??did bianca ask you to do this.
No, bianca is not even aware.. I am doing it cause I want to build here, so I will demolish it and rebuild it.
This is my place of survival Bryan, I’ve spent a lot here.
Same way I went through hell before getting close to your daughter, the only thing you could think of is make her sad, you robbed her, abandoned her, rejected her, insulted her. Stella you’re not fit to be my mother in-law.. pack your things and leave or I’ll do it myself
Bryan I can sue you,.
You can’t.. I’m higher than the high court.. call your lawyer and mention my name, he or she will personally lock you up, you know why? I don’t look for trouble, I only feed people with what they cook with their hands.
ah ah! Don’t move a step.. stay there..
You touched me when you touched bianca, just like you touched her father when you left her.. you have no remorse at all.
I came to dialogue with you peacefully and what did you do? You asked me to leave twice.. I thought you’d realize yourself and give me the audience I need..
I don’t even talk to people that make bianca sad, I just do what is needed to be done, I respected you as my wife’s biological mother, you threw the opportunity away.
A mother that doesn’t want to know how her daughter survived.
Do you realize who your daughter is getting married to? Do you? Of course you don’t.
If I find out you still have any properties, I’ll buy them.. I want you to return to your senses..
Stephen , take her out.. get the contractors ready, I need this building brought down today not tomorrow, if there’s anything she doesn’t take out, burn them!
The only person allowed allowed to hurt bianca is our baby.. now leave.
You will regret this Bryan.
I just want to see you suffer as you watched your daughter suffer and feel proud about it..
One more thing! Thank you for letting me close to your daughter! I am getting married to her by weekend.
Stephen, please I don’t want to see her near this property.
Stella left.
Bryan came back and told me our wedding is holding.
This is too sudden Bryan.
We’ were preparing for it before everything got messed up .let’s continue with the plan.
You can’t stay here with your granny, I want you home.
Your father…….
My father is not me.
Granny, I’m sorry but I need to take bianca home.. I’ll be back so I can meet with any of her available family and do what I am meant to do..
We will also be visiting you from time to time, you can decide to also come live with us .
I didn’t have a choice, Bryan’s home is the only home I know now.. I went with Bryan..
Initially it was difficult to convince his father, but he did.. he told him how we met and how everything happened
Bryan didn’t stop there, he also heard stella had other properties, he bought all..
What will you use them for? I asked.
Build another orphanage home or anything at all..
We went back to my granny’s place, I met my uncles and Bryan was welcomed..
My mother was in a mess, she lost everything within days..she can’t fight Bryan.. Bryan didn’t forget debby.. he also made sure she was expelled from school.
Bryan why? Debby’s own is in the past.
She k!lled our baby, she doesn’t deserve anything. I didn’t forget her..I was waiting for the perfect time.
Bryan please it’s okay..
Susan called and also apologized.. Bryan just told her to work elsewhere.
Don’t worry susan, I won’t disturb you. Work somewhere.
I asked Bryan what he will do to me if I offend him, he said.
You’ll just do what you have to do.. we’re getting married tomorrow.
Granny called me, she said stella has moved in with her and she wants to talk.
What do you think?bryan asked.
You’re the only family I have now, I don’t want my mother. Please I want granny to be here.
We’ll bring her in.
Saturday is here , I was tensed and very happy.
We arrived in church, everything was going smoothly, lots of people came, Bryan is a BIG Name..
We were taking our vows when I saw my mother..
Your mother is here: bryan whispered .
Unfortunately her curses is just like an empty bottle.
We got married 😊
Finally I am Married to you. No more bianca can we see? Now I get to see you every day.
Thanks for everything Bryan.
Come and thank me properly in my room.
Knock knock!
Who’s there?
I opened the door who I saw was stella .
What do you want? I asked.
My baby please.
My name is not baby.
Just let me in.
I can’t, as you can see I am about performing my duties and we’re traveling for our honeymoon.
I know why you came, you are broke. And you want my husband to give you back everything he collected..
Bianca, I came to apologize.
I grew up without you in my life.. you thought you could just slap me and go scot freee . Take a look around,, I married someone that suits you.. someone that can put you in your place.. I don’t need your apology, take it to granny she needs it more..
Stephen please I don’t want to see her again.
I left her to meet Bryan.. my dreams has come to pass.
I saw everything bianca. Forgive your mother.
I can’t..
My granny came and started living with us
On our way to where we’ll enjoy our honeymoon my phone rang
Hello bianca.. we’ve found your father
Bryan please, our phones will be turned off till we are back home. I need to enjoy my honeymoon without distractions and phone calls
Ehen, Bryan you promised to tell me why you decided to wear a mask
I’ll tell you tonight cause what happened the first day will happen today, you will not be able to see me..
You carried it?
Yeah.. I love you Bianca
I love you too.

Episode 27 : Bianca’s Struggle for Independence
Arrived at the hotel ** Helena’s Hotel**
Hello, good day.. bryan said to the receptionist.
Good day Sir, you’re welcome. She responded.
I need a room.. bryan said.
The receptionist was busy staring at my husband..
He said we need a room. I angrily said.
Oh! So sorry ma’am, which of the room do you want?
I want a very comfortable room, the most expensive to be precise..
She gave us the key to the room, and one of the staff helped us carry our luggage.
Bryan, do you see the way she looked at you? I asked.
Who?
Bryan, stop acting like you didn’t notice the receptionist staring at you and getting confused..
Bianca, you’re my wife and no longer my girlfriend, stop letting things cloud your head, it’s our honeymoon and you want to start overreacting?
No bryan, she’s beautiful too.
Not as beautiful as you..
But why did you choose here? It’s too expensive.
I want you to be comfortable, let’s shower so we can go get something to eat.
We can just call and order for the food here.
Knock knock!
It’s the receptionist.
What is it? I asked.
I came to know if you and your boyfriend will need anything..
There’s a telephone here and the menu too, if we need anything we’ll call..
I am just trying to make sure our customers are safe and comfortable.
You can leave..
My regards to your boyfriend.
I said it, this girl is something else.. bryan let’s change location please.
No, we’re not changing anything….
We showered and went down to the restaurant to eat, all the female staffs were looking at Bryan.
Bianca, what is it? You’re not eating.
The female staffs are staring at you.
Stop staring at them bianca,. This is becoming annoying.
Annoying?
Yes,. You’ve been complaining too much, it’s our honeymoon let’s enjoy it in peace,. We’re married already, if you’re not comfortable with them stop paying attention please..
You know what bryan, i am done with this food.. afterall you didn’t introduce me as your wife!
When she came and Said * my regards to your boyfriend* why didn’t you say i am your husband? You just love to make issues bianca..
Can I have the keys?
Why? Who will eat this food?
Can I have the keys bryan? You can eat the food or give the workers here..
He handed me the keys, i went back to our room and started arranging my stuffs..
Shortly Bryan came in,
What’s going on?
I am leaving this place.
Bianca i am sorry, i don’t know what i did but i am sorry. You need to Start controlling your anger and there should be limit to everything.. if anything i said got you upset forgive me, don’t leave. But if you insist on leaving then fine..
I am leaving…
The moment you walk out this door consider this marriage over..
I didn’t ask you to marry me in the first place Bryan..
You should have rejected the ring!!!
I just dropped it… I can’t do this. You forced me to marry you..
How old are you again?? Bryan asked.
I don’t understand!!
You’re acting like a child..
On the first day of our honeymoon you’re threatening me?
I am not threatening you, anything that wants to give me headache i try to avoid it.
You didn’t see me cheat, the female staffs were staring at me it’s not a bad thing, maybe they’re even staring at you, your insecurities is in another level..
I didn’t know what came over me, i carried my bag and left..
On my way i got a call from Bryan.
Bianca, where are you?
It’s none of your business Bryan.
I just called my lawyer, I want a divorce..
Fine!!
You dropped my ring Bianca, you started having issues with me for nothing on the first day of our honeymoon moon, you walked out on me.. I’ll be seeing you in two days time with the papers..
Why not bring the papers tomorrow?? I think it’s best we get everything done with.. this marriage thing is like a bondage to me…everyone looking at my man.
You have no man Bianca,. We’re done..hangs up
Hello, felix

Episode 28 : Bryan’s Protective Instincts and New Dangers
I called my grandma and told her I am on my way to visits her.
When I got there I met my mother stella, I walked out immediately.
Bianca wait..
I don’t want to talk to you Stella, I came to see granny.
I am sorry for what I did to you.
Save it stella, I don’t need it.
My granny came out , she was surprised to see me without Bryan.
I took her to a quiet place.
What happend bianca? Where’s your husband?
He’s fine.
Why are you here? It’s supposed to be your honeymoon, what happened??
I just miss you that’s why I am here.
What’s going on with you bianca, you don’t expect me to believe you.
If you don’t believe me I’ll just leave, let me go back to meet Bryan then. Bye.
I couldn’t bring myself to tell my granny, what if she tells stella, stella will just laugh at me.
I paid for an hotel to spend the night..
My granny called Bryan.
What happened between you and my grand daughter? She asked.
Nothing happened, is she with you?
She just left and I tried to ask her why she came back.
What did she tell you?
She wasn’t giving me any good explanation.
It’s alright granny…
Bryan, what’s going on?
Nothing is going on granny. Everything is fine. Let’s talk later please.
POV
The next day morning…
Knock knock!
When Bryan open the door he saw the receptionist .
I didn’t order for anything. Bryan said.
I know sir, I just want to talk to you. Can I come in??
Yeah sure, come in..
I saw your girlfriend yesterday moving soo fast , and I noticed she didn’t come back..are you guys having issues?
So, what’s your point? Bryan asked.
My point is, I am always available if you need someone to talk to. You’re good looking and you deserve someone that loves you.
Do you love your job? Bryan asked.
Yeah, I love my job.
I’d advice you to focus on your job and stay out of my affairs, the next time you show up without any proper information you’ll loose your job. You may leave.
She apologized and left.
Three hours later the lawyer came..
Mr Bryan, why do you want to divorce your wife?
I feel She’s not ready, and I want peace.
What really happened?
She’s overthinking everything and it pisses me of. I am tired of apologizing to bianca when I am not wrong.
You don’t love her anymore?
Love is never enough Felix..
Are you sure you want to do this?
I want to do this, bianca is getting on my nerves Felix, do you know what she said to me? She said I forced her into marrying me, she dropped her wedding ring.
What if she’s pregnant, when someone is pregnant they behave like kid
She’s not pregnant..
Invite her over let’s fix this or you see a marriage counselor..
She already agreed to it, you can call her let’s get it done with..
The lawyer called me, and asked me to visit his office in the evening so we could finalize everything.
I never knew Bryan is really serious about this divorce thing.. my granny called me still I did not tell her anything.
I’m the evening I went to the lawyers office, I sat down and waited for him for dismiss his client.
In the process of waiting for him, Bryan came..
How are you bianca?
I’m good.
After today, it will be over between us..
I know, we were never meant to be.. it’s better this way than our constant argument.
Felix asked us to come in as he was done with his client..
From the look of things bianca, Bryan didn’t do anything.
He didn’t do anything, he asked for a divorce.
You were the one who said I forced you to marry me..
I know I said that, I am not taking it back Bryan, you forced me. I want my peace. I can’t keep dragging you with other women
Bryan, do you love your wife?
I love her but I she wants her peace.
Bianca, do you still love your husband?
No, I don’t love him anymore, he wants a divorce, so let his request be granted..
Are you pregnant bianca?
No, I’m not…
I suspect your hormone’s dealing with you, this is not you. You just got married and you’re accepting to divorce your husband
Barrister Felix, I am not pregnant, you should see the way Bryan couldn’t say anything, he doesn’t acknowledge me as his wife.
We’re wasting time Felix, bring the papers.. even if it’s going to hurt me, I am willing to risk it.. Bryan said
I wasn’t listening to anyone. Felix brought the papers..
Bryan signed…
I noticed he signed it, my heart left my chest immediately..
You signed it?
Yeah, and I’ll sign it over and over again Bianca.. it’s over. We’re done..
It’s your turn to sign Bianca..
I couldn’t sign, I was scared.
I’m sorry Bryan.
Sign it Bianca, I mean every word..
The pressure was too much.. I signed the divorce papers..
Our marriage ended right in front of my eyes
I stood up to use the bathroom, I felt dizzy and fainted..
Episode 29 : Bianca’s Journey of Self-Discovery
Woke up in the hospital with bryan sitting close to me.
I quickly closed my eyes,
Bianca, you’re awake already,
You shouldn’t be here bryan, we’re already divorced.
I know, i brought you here bianca,you could have died..
Thanks for bringing me here bryan, you can go now..
I’m not leaving, i need to know what happened to you..
You have no right to know what happened to me, it’s my personal affair,you no longer have any right to know anything about me
Bianca, you’re becoming stubborn and if i find out you’re pregnant and hiding it from me you will not like what I’d do to you.
Why would I hide my pregnancy from you? Ain’t you the father ? I am not pregnant Bryan..
When was the last time we made love? Bryan asked.
I think before our wedding,. And once after our wedding, before we left for our honeymoon
You mean the honeymoon you destroyed?
The fact is, i am not pregnant..
I am leaving now Bianca..
Why? I thought you’re staying..
You asked me to leave Bianca, and i am leaving.
Bryan Left.
The doctor came.
Your husband just left, he said,
I know, you don’t have to tell me..
Pregnancy hormones is really dealing with you Bianca..
Pregnancy?
Yes, you’re pregnant and really stressed,you need to rest or you’ll loose the baby
I don’t understand, i am not doing anything, Bryan provides for me
Had any abortion?
It wasn’t me, it was a mistake..
You need to visit the hospital often,
Is bryan aware of it?
No, he’s not..I’ll see you later bianca..
Wait, so you mean it’s the hormones that’s making me behave strange?
Obviously! Let me attend to the other patients, I’ll call bryan to bring something for you.
There’s no need doctor I’ll just call my granny.
Ok bianca, I’ll see you later..
Knowing that i am pregnant gave me hope, atleast i am going to have a child for bryan , if court finally dissolve our marriage I’ll have a child to hold on to.
The thoughts of it made me smile..can it be possible that this pregnancy made bryan divorce me? Isn’t he supposed to sense it?
Well everything has happened for a reason.
I waited till evening, before bryan came.
POV
Doctor how’s bianca?
She’s fine, she need to rest.
She’s not stressing herself, what really happened to her?
She’s pregnant Bryan and she might loose the baby.
Again! ? How?
That’s how her system is..if you want your baby alive then you have to monitor her closely, she should not do anything
She wasn’t doing anything doctor.. I’ve heard you, let me go see her..by the way when can she leave this place?
Tomorrow morning,by then she’ll be strong.
Bianca, congratulations, we’re having a baby.
Not we bryan, i am having a baby..
I really do not want to get upset, i will just take it as the pregnancy dealing with you, but…
But what??
You’ll be staying with me till you deliver.
Why?
Bianca, you don’t have a house, you’ve been staying with me before we got married and the house i got you has been given to stephen,..until court dissolve our marriage I’ll make sure I take care of my baby.
Get yourself prepared we’re leaving in the morning, stephen will bring dinner for you, i don’t want to loose my baby.
You don’t care about me the carrier of the pregnancy?
I care about my child..
Episode 30 : A New Threat to Bianca and Bryan’s Relationship
I care about my child.
I was making eye contact with Bryan, he just looked away..
He doesn’t want to look at me..
His phone rang , he got up and went outside..
When he came back I started quarelling with him, accusing him of having another woman.
Bianca, i think I need to leave, Stephen will bring you tomorrow..
You want to leave me here?
If you want me to stay then you have to control your mouth…
I’ll just keep quiet then….
As soon as I fell asleep, Bryan couldn’t stay, he got up and left and didn’t return,
In the morning, Stephen came and took me home.. when I got to Bryan’s house he wasn’t home and he didn’t come back till evening..
Hope you’ve had something to eat? He asked.
I am not hungry, sometimes I wonder why you’ve decided to treat me this way.. I know I did wrong I am sorry , please forgive me, it not my fault it is the baby.. I am suffering..
I’m sorry bianca, you’re here cause of the baby, we’ve already signed the papers.
You signed it first Bryan..
You wanted us to end it all, you disrespected me Bianca, have you forgotten what you did to me in that hotel? The thing you said
I haven’t forgotten, I was angry and jealous.
Bianca, you should stop talking… we’re going to court tomorrow… and if you are not comfortable here I can get you an apartment or you go stay with my mother. I’ll be traveling as soon as we’re back from court..
Can you just give me attention please.
I will… you just need to calm down so you won’t loose the baby… Goodnight bianca..
POV
Bryan went to visit Felix the lawyer.
Bryan, how’s she doing?
She’s fine… we’re supposed to go to the court today to finalize everything but I think I’ll put it on hold.
Why? You love her?
I love Bianca and I love my baby too, if I proceed she will not be able to handle it , the pregnancy is still fragile… I know how emotional she can be.
So what are you trying to say?
Maybe when she’s 5months or more.. I don’t want anything to affect my child.
Then you shouldn’t joke with her emotions. Be there for her till she’s mentally ready. Bryan, also understand your wife, it’s not her fault .. pregnancy can make a woman do so many things, some women even hate their husbands, some get irritated by the sight of their spouse. It is not also easy for her… your child is growing inside her.. be easy on her Bryan..
I know! I am not being hard on her..’ I am still in love with her.. I’ve always loved her.
Why did you sign the papers?
She was talking too much! I am going on a business trip today, but I’ll go tomorrow..I’ll see you when I come back..
Knock knock.
Stephen please check who’s at the door.
It’s your mother ma’am.
Stella?
Yea..
What’s she doing here???? let her in.
Bianca, I just want to talk to you.
I am listening…
There’s nothing I can do to change the past, but if you’d let me, I am willing to make things right again.
I was happy I finally met you but everything changed when you pushed me away the second and third time.. Bryan came to you, you asked him to leave, I never offended you, you abandoned me, you also robbed me.. Stella you’re not my mother I do not want to see you here again.
Bianca, please, forgive me I beg you.
I am not forgiving you. And stop coming here, you thought my life would be hard forever? You thought I’d die? Stella the door is open, please walk yourself out now.. if Bryan comes back he will not be happy to see you.
Stella refused to leave, I tried soo hard to make her leave but she didn’t. She sat down apologizing to me over and over again
Seeing her reminded me of my past, the things she did to me made me hate her more, I thought of the divorce case and I started crying, I was crying cause Bryan wants to leave me..
Bryan walked in, saw my mother, saw me crying and asked what happened.
The tears increased as he asked again.
Please tell Stella to leave. I said.
Stella, please leave..
Bryan, please let me settle issues with my daughter.
Not this way Stella, she’s not in a good mood, she’s crying already, for the sake of my wife’s health just leave, you can come back tomorrow..
Stella began to cry, I still insisted she leave so she left..
You called me your wife? I asked.
I said it so your mother doesn’t have a clue about anything.
But I am still your wife and you’re my husband till we go to court.
You’re joking bianca.
I am not joking, it’s fine you no longer want me, but before then let’s live in peace for the sake of our baby..and you also have to attend to my sexual needs.
Why?
Every pregnant woman needs it.. you can’t deprive me of that, or will you say “NO” if I want s*x?
Look!
I am not looking mr Bryan, enough of this attitude you’re putting up. I am sick and tired of it.
You’ve started again..
You’re playing with my mental health Bryan , If I loose this baby it’s on you..and maybe by then we’ll finally go our separate ways cause there will no be baby to hold us together.. I am not asking for much..
Its already 6pm , I need to shower and go to bed, I have a trip Tomorow, let’s talk when I get back please.
No problem. Agreed, let me shower before you .
I showered before Bryan, I waited for him in our room n@ked.
When he finished he turned off the lights and said “goodnight”.
The baby wants something Bryan.
What are you craving for? I am really exhausted, I’ll call Stephen to get you anything you want.
You also want Stephen to make love to me?
What? Is that what you want?
It’s not me, it’s the baby..
I hear you, we’re doing this for the baby.
you also want it..
I don’t want it bianca.
Okay, since you don’t want it, then let’s forget about it,
You said our baby wants it.
And the father doesn’t.. goodnight.
I faced left, i was trying to adjust when our body touched… bryan didn’t hesitate,
I can’t remember the last time I touched you.. bryan said.
I know you want it…
He k!ssed me like he has been starved for years..
