Oyinade got back to her office groggily. She had developed a splitting headache immediately she got that shocking message from Doctor Felix.
Pregnant?
How can that stupid witch be pregnant? She wondered. She could not understand why
everything always gets
complicated whenever she arrived at a little level of victory.
She had expected many
things to happen;the most expected was an
open fight featuring Richard & Belina. She had expected everything to get scattered &
messy between them while she played innocent,lamenting her guilt to Richard with
a sober face; none of these were to happen though.
She can’t be pregnant, she hummed in her head.
Not when she had already gone this far.
She left her office &
within seconds, she was on her way to the room Belina was. It might be good to
play on her emotions.

Prisca inspected the stock with one of her sales girls giving account. She had quit
her stressful banking job when she was expecting Patricia.
The job was too much
to handle & Tony,who had been on her tail as to leaving the job, had forced her to resign when she was heavy.
She however hadn’t regretted her actions because Tony made it up to her and ensured that she did not sit idle at home doing nothing;something she
hated with passion.
He had opened a boutique for her where she sold all kinds of
clothes.
She had a section for native
materials and another for normal day to day clothes,majorlyoffice wears. The boutique was practically the
biggest and most patronized of all the boutiques around.
After going through
all the stock, she noted the goods they needed to order and asked the girl to place
the order.
They couldn’t afford to run out of stock.
Prisca went into her office happy that her business was booming and also that her
staff were happy. They
loved her dearly and she
always had private
discussions with them from time to time, finding out what was going on with them
and offering words of
advice.
Her mind had been on Belina since yesterday though. She didn’t know why but
she felt something was going on with her.
She had always had that bond with her ever since they were best friends, knowing
nothing about their relativity.
She called her phone and pinged her severally but she was not responding. She
decided to go over to BRP Hospital.

Kelvin glared at Richard
with measured despise. His hatred for this
man had grown over a period of time and
he could feel his desire for a physical combat increasing as he stared at the arrogant
idiot.
Richard stood tall with confidence & strength. His face was a veiled expression
of what he was feeling on the inside. He
had the ability to look calm at the battle front,with his face revealing no
emotional feeling at all; this single trait
made him look more dangerous no matter the opponent her faced. His build also
always gave him the upper hand considering his athletic build.
His desire to deal with
Kelvin had never left him but now that he
had the opportunity to satisfy that desire,
he realized that he could not bring down his
reputation by stooping to his level. He
deliberately blinked his eyes slowly as he
re-emphasized his question.
“I said, what in Hades are you doing here?
“I am here to see Belina. Is there any crime
in that? Or does her marriage to you
restrict her from having
visitors?” Kelvin replied,
spoiling for a fight. Richard did not move a
muscle and his face still possessed no
emotion, giving Belina’s secretary a slight
shiver
“Is there any problem sir?”
she asked her oga at the top.
“Yes. It seems our young man here has lost
his way”
he replied not facing her.
Then to Kelvin, “I would
give you the grace of
moving your filthy self out of here before I
have men bundle you out”
Kelvin shifted as if to
ascertain that his two feets were firmly rooted, then glared.
“I would like to see you dare”
Richard smiled. “I was
actually hoping u would
say that”. Before Kelvin
could blink, he was surrounded by three hefty men. He was
oblivious of the time Richard pressed the secret button of his
phone.
“You would pay for this” he growled as he
was picked up by one of the
men,struggling,kicking and screaming like a
little child.
***
Prisca arrived at Best
Results the exact time Kelvin was being
bundled out. She parked her car just in time
to see d hefty guy drop him like a bag of
beans. He surprise & bewilderment did not
stop her from going over. Kelvin was busy
raining curses on the men who just turned
back and left him there, foaming.
She covered the distance separating them
with quick strides; her concern not on his
welfare though.
“Kelvin” she breathed,
thinking her eyes might be betraying her.
He spun like an automatic machine with a
glare stamped on his face. On sighting
Prisca, his frown & anger seemed to
deepen.
“What under heaven do u think u are doing here?”
she asked alarmed.
Kelvin hissed
“Have I not had enough of that ridiculous question? What else do u think I am doing
here?” he growled.
TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW MORNING
