Maurice gasped and so did Valerie.Even though he and Valerie were a couple, that was the last news he was expecting at that time.He loves his wife so much and didn't care if the baby was taking time to come.They had been married for more than a year and his parents had been looking forward to carrying their grandchild. However, Maurice was not in a hurry and didn't want to put Valerie under any pressure.“She's pregnant." Maurice turned to Valerie with a bright smile on his face and declared happily. “We're going to be parents soon." Valerie was happy as well and smiled back at her husband before turning to the doctor.“Doctor, are you sure about it?" "I'm very sure that you're pregnant.” The doctor nodded at her with a smile on her face.She stepped forward and handed the result to Valerie. "Here you go. And make sure that you don't subject yourself to any form of stress.”"Always eat healthy and stay away from alcohol. You're free to go home after resting enough.”As the doctor

Maurice believed that the baby in Valerie's womb was his. He had no reason to doubt the paternity of the child.Valerie looked deeply at him and pulled away his arms before snorting. “I made you the happiest man, yet you still suspect me. You feel insecure and follow me around like I'm a child." “It won't happen again." Maurice declared. He had to admit that he had followed Valerie a few times. And on those occasions, he'd seen Maxwell around and that alone made him angry.He had always wanted to go and punch Maxwell but would restrain himself from doing so.He was just trying to avoid any form of trouble.“I'm not going close to him. It's just a coincidence that we bumped into each other this last time." Valerie added and started towards the stairs with Maurice following behind."It's fine, Honey. Can we not talk about your ex-husband anymore? We have a baby on the way, let's talk about her.”"How can you be so sure that it's a girl?" Valerie replied to her husband while stopping in

As soon as the messenger left, Maxwell tore open the letter and browsed through it with his eyes. He didn't need to read every word written on the letter to realize what it was about.Valerie was fulfilling her promise to him and he was ready for her.Since she wanted to drag him to court, then it would be so.All he knows is that Valerie would not get a dime from him.Her family were losers and that's what they'd continue to be.Maxwell chuckled dryly as he stared at the content of the letter. After that, he took his eyes off it, folded it and stuffed it into his trousers pocket.He took out his phone and put a call across to Pablo.The latter picked up as soon as the call came in.“Hello, Maxwell. What is going on over there?" “We have a court case and I hope you're ready and equal to the task this time.” Maxwell said to him.Pablo laughed before replying. "When have I not been ready? I'm ready to defend your case and give you victory anytime you call on me.”“Did we not win the la

“I understand what you mean, honey. But you know that we made a very big mistake. We should have ended his life when he was already grown up.” Victor spoke in so much regret.He took his glass and had a sip of his wine before turning to his wife with a long face.“We have to look for a way to put an end to his life once and for all." Victor suggested and Patricia agreed with him by nodding."Yeah, we have to do that but not now. We'll be the prime suspect when it happens. And you know that the commissioner can't help us.”"We can't afford to go to prison.”"You're right. We need to be very tactical in our planning and strategizing. When the time is right, we must strike.”"And that Angel betrayer won't escape our wrath as well.”The couple smiled at themselves and nodded.When they saw Valerie walking up to them, they stopped talking. She was still oblivious of her parents' evil deeds.She had made a plate of pancakes for herself and had a glass of orange juice on another hand.“What

“Angel, what do you want? Why are you calling me repeatedly?" “I told you that I don't want to have anything to do with you but you're just so stubborn." Maxwell could easily call the police and ask them to send a restraining order for Angel. However, for some reason, he did not do it.He believed that Angel would soon get tired and stop coming after him.Maxwell had told her that he'd never forgive her for what she did but the latter had refused to give up.She was not backing down until Maxwell forgave her.In fact, she wants to be friends with him which might take some time to achieve.“Hi, Max. I'm outside your gate but your security won't let me in. I came to pick you up so that we can have dinner together." “Please, don't keep me waiting." Angel responded and ended the call immediately.She was hoping that Maxwell would come out and meet with her outside. If possible, they'd go and have dinner together.Angel didn't mind all the embarrassments she was getting from Maxwell. It
