🎲Cindy James🎲
It was exactly 5:30am. Cindy woke up with a slight headache at a side of her head. She didn’t sleep early last night, she came back home late. As a daily routine in her parent’s house, it’s time for family morning prayer. She had to go downstairs first before she prepares for work. She was a medical doctor and worked in a general hospital.

The general alarm was heard soon. She stood up from her comfy bed, slipped her feet into her yellow flip flops and walked out still in her pink night wear.

She gently ascended the tiled staircase and walked into the living room. She met her parents seated already. She was actually the only child her parents gave birth to. She was greatly loved and cared for.

Her dad, Mr James was a lawyer as well as an overseer in church while her mum, Mrs Veronica James was a caterer having a huge catering company with lots of workers.

Her mum was an epitome of beauty, no doubt she took after her mother’s beauty.. Her dad wasn’t exceptional he still looks cute even in his early fifties.

“Good morning mummy.” she greeted her mom and went to her dad greeting him as well.

“Morning my dear. God bless you. You’d excel.” Said Mrs Veronica.

“Morning Naomi.” Mr James said. He was fond of calling her her Christian name.

“Amen. Thank you ma.” She said settling down on a nearby couch.

“Let’s pray.” Mr James said and they all closed their eyes saying an amen when necessary.

“Here. Sit and eat.” Mrs Veronica said.

“No mum. I don’t want to be late. Take care mum. Bye dad!” She said hurriedly hugging her mum and pecking her dad cheek lightly before rushing out of the house.

Her mum sighed watching Her as she walked out.

“The house seems quiet.” Philip said walking into the dining. He drew out a chair and sat on it.

“Yeah. Joy has gone to school.” Mrs Monica answered placing a cup of hot tea in his front.

“Thank you ma. No wonder. She went earlier today.”

“Yeah…she got some practicals to do this morning.” Mrs Monica said.

Philip took a sliced bread and took some bite munching on it.

“I see…” He replied.

“You’ve been quite silent this days. Are you okay?” Mrs Monica asked looking closely at him.

“Yes mum.” He said smiling.

Oh…he just lied. Deep down he wasn’t okay. He loves someone that couldn’t be his.

“I’m off to work mum. Regards to dad.” He said rising to his feet.

“You didn’t finish eating.”

“I’m full already. Thanks for the meal. Good day.” With that he walked out into his waiting car.

“Good morning sir.” His driver greeted while he simply waved at him.

Soon, they’re driving out of the compound.

LUNCH TIME
Cindy James
She was so much hungry. She couldn’t eat the previous night and now this morning.
She decided to drove herself to a nearby restaurant to take something. She stood up and took off her white coat remaining just the knee length purple gown she wore. She took her car key and a debit card from her bag then walked out of her office gently shutting the door.

She was about walking out of the hospital building when she heard the familiar voice called out to her making her to halt.

“Doctor Cindy James, are you taking lunch?” Doctor Bassey asked.

“Yes doctor.”

“Let’s take it together then. I’m driving.” He said as he got to where she was waiting.

“Alright doc.” She smiled.

Doctor Bassey has been the only real friend she has in the hospital. Others are just casual friends. This wasn’t their first time taking lunch together.

They walked side by side to his white jeep, they got in and drove off.

🌟Alice Bassey🌟
Ever since her husband left for work, she has been restless as usual.

“What if he got to know the truth?”

“how do I even tell him the wh0le truth? I love him so much that i don’t want to lose him to another woman but telling him the truth would be end of us, end of our marriage and all that we’ve shared.” She thought. Worries were written clearly all over her face.

Her phone rang. With shaking hand, she picked it ’cause she dare not ignore it.

“Hello my bitch.” The voice said laughing mockingly.

“I’m not your bitch. I’m Married you know.” She said nervously.

“Really? Married indeed! What’re you gonna show everyone as the proof that you’re married? Can you ever CONCEIVE?” the voice thundered making her shiver in fear.

“I…I…I knew that already. You do not need to remind me. What do you want? Why can’t you just let me be! Huh!” She yelled crying.

The voice laughed again making her shed more tears.

“I want you. I want to be having you to myself everyday , you know what I mean.” The voice said.

“W..what are you talking about? No! Not when I’m happily married. Do you wanna break my home? where do I tell my husband I’m going to?” She said losing it Already.

“Tell him whatever! I’d be expecting you tomorrow in our usual hotel by 01: 30pm.” the voice said and the line went dead.

“oh my life! I’m doomed already! I’m done for!” she cried profusely.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. She sprang up and quickly wiped her face and walked to the entrance door.
She opened it to reveal her mother in law.

She was quick to put on a smiling face as usual to conceal the worried look on her face before.

“Oh…my daughter.” Mrs Sophia hugged Alice tightly.

“It’s been two months mother, hope all is well?” She asked after they has disengaged taking the bag she was holding.

She stepped back and Mrs Sophia walked in while she walked behind.

“Ohh… Nothing much my daughter. Just decided to stay in my house a little.” She sat down on a black sofa.

She sat opposite her placing the bag beside her on the tiled floor.

“Welcome mother. Hope the journey here wasn’t stressful? What should I offer you ma?” She asked smiling.

“Yes my daughter, not stressful. Just get me anything you have in this house.” Mrs Sophia said returning the smile.

No doubt, she loved her daughter in law like her own daughter. And she is always praying to God to answer her quickly.

“Alright mother. I’d go into the kitchen now to prepare you something delicious.” Alice said.

“Oh…I’d gladly take it my dear. Thank you.” She said.

Alice made to go into the kitchen when Mrs Sophia stopped her.

“Alice my daughter….” She started taking her sit beside her.

“How’s it? Any solution yet?” Mrs Sophia asked looking down at her tummy with much care shown in her voice.

Alice bursted into tears shaking her head negatively and covered her face with her palms.

Mrs Sophia was moved as she hugged her patting her back.

“I understand how you feel, my daughter. Sorry, let’s hope in the Lord. I believe you’d conceive very soon and I will carry your baby in my arm.” Mrs Sophia said softly.

Alice broke the hug and looked at Mrs Sophia.

“Mother, why? W..why me mother? Why can’t I conceive? Why can’t I carry my own child in my womb? Sooner or later, Sam will marry another woman so he could be a father….am I not done for already?” She cried.

“Never! My son will never take in a new wife. You’re a good, respectful and courageous wife anyone would wish to have. So, we’d both continue to pray and I am sure you’d give birth very soon.” Mrs Sophia said assuredly.

“Thank you mother. I’m happy you’re my mother in-law. Some would have frustrated their daughter in-law that couldn’t conceive and get their son a new wife. Thanks a lot ma.” She said slowly wiping her tears.

“Why would I frustrate the life of my daughter in law because she couldn’t conceive when I’m not a child maker. Wipe your tears, you’ll smile soon.” she said and hug her again.

“Alright mother. I will go on to prepare what you’d eat.” she said walking into the kitchen.

“Okay my dear. Thank you and do not cry anymore!.” She said taking her bag from the floor.

“I got you some stuffs. You can come for it when you’re done cooking.” Mrs Sophia shouted.

“Alright mother. Thank you.” Alice shouted back.

Her phone buzzed of a new message. she quickly checked it and her face fell. It was from the person that called her minutes ago.

💬Unique Hotel & Suites 01:30pm tomorrow. You’re dead if you come late!💬

She sighed heavily then deleted it immediately and started cooking.
