Episode 56
Theo
“Theo, your mother told me about the affair you are having with a girl that’s no match to our standard; marry Jordan, and we grow in other aspects; you can pay her off for the damage .” father said to me at the party, and I was losing my patience.
“Father, I will not marry her.” I pointed at Jordan, who looked angry when she returned from the bathroom.
“Son, we are your parents; we can’t make the wrong decision for you; Kyle marries Clara, you my son marries Jordan, balanced equation,” Mom added.
“Mother, you don’t choose whom I will spend the rest of my life with, please, marriage is eternity till death; you are not the one going into the marriage, but for me, I should care about my happiness,” I said.
“Son, it’s simple, you disobey me, lose everything you owe as a Walcott, you become nothing because of her, is she worth it?” Father said.
“Yes, father, she is worth it, provided I am happy, I got nothing to lose but more to gain.” I hugged mom, then Jordan, who made it look like we are a couple; I sighted Lisa leaving.
“My decision stands, father. Even if you disown me, I go with her, and I will forgive you in the future when you realise love always win; maybe then you will understand.” I decided to go after Lisa and ignored my parents.
I hate seeing Lisa cry; I tried stopping her from leaving by trying to explain, but she took the wrong thinking of the whole thing, I can never leave her, and I deserve the slap.
She collapsed, I called out her name but no response, I had to rush her to the hospital leaving every other thing, I would have helped Kyle, but we got to solve our problem ourselves, so I gave him a sign.

The doctor called me to his office saying, “She is alright, but goodnews, Sir Theo.” I became curious, wondering what kind of news will be good when she hasn’t woken up yet.
“What good news, doctor?”
“She is three weeks pregnant.”
I couldn’t hold my excitement; the woman of my dream is carrying my child, she is the right decision, I won’t leave her.
What will I get her when she wakes up? Someone to play the trumpet, her majesty is waking up, pouring petals to get the excellent scent, getting the best meal prepared by me or?
I kept on fantasising when the nurse said, “She is awake now, sir.”
“Thank you, nurse.”

“Lisa, how are you feeling? You got me scared.” I held her hands, but she took mine off.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“Leave Theo, your parents won’t want you here, and you know that I can take care of myself.” She said in a low tone.
“Lisa, I will never leave you; I took my decision and guess what it is, I decided to be happy by spending the rest of my life with you and no one else, do not deprive me of fatherhood please, let me be part of our baby life.” I held her hands again; she looked shocked and wondering how I found out.
“Do not cry, okay.” I wiped her tears.
“Thank you, Theo, for not letting me go through the shame, and guess what, I passed the online exam too.”
‘”Come here.” I hugged her rubbing her hair backwards.
“Theo, you left everything behind just for me; I don’t deserve you; I am not worth it.”
“Lisa, do me a favour okay, can you just rest and stop overthinking?”
” I will but one more thing, my love?” She finally gave a genuine smile.
“I am listening.”
“With the look of things, tell me, what do you think you will do or can do to earn a living?”
“Well, I thought of that before you asked; let me be sincere to you; I hate working as a CEO; remember you are talking to a good chef? Being a cook is not a bad idea.” I winked at her.
” How can I forget that Theo, I and the baby is starving? We would love to eat a meal prepared by daddy.” She rolled her eyeballs.
“I love the sound of that; I will go home now and prepare something nice for my family.”
I kissed her forehead before leaving.
Kyle
“Mom, you know very well the engagement stuff was never my idea, but you and dad, it is not my fault if it gets ruined,” I yelled.
“Oh really, you yelling at your mother now because of her; Clara has been your girlfriend ever since you went to University; she waited for you alone; is this how you pay her back?” Mom grew angry at me, and I wouldn’t say I like it when I make her mad.
“Mom, you took things with her this far; I am not ready to get married; when I am, I will do it without you doing it for me; I have never disrespected you, mom, but trust me, Bella needed my help.”
“Oh son, I won’t repeat myself on this, a maid that works with me, my son will never stoop so low to marry her, I will be leaving for a business meeting, when I get back, make it up to me by engaging her okay and do not forget your business presentation at Paris cause of her.” Mom said, leaving angrily.
“What will I do? I love Bella and my family; why are my parents making things so hard for me? I love her alone and no one else; I will fix this.” I told myself.
I heard a knock at my door, “Who is it?”
“Clara, can I come in?” She said.
“Not again. Should I apologise to her when she steps in or not?” I said mentally before telling her to come in.
“Clara, I am sorry if you wanted me, but I don’t love you, only you can make the game easy for me; if you tell mom you not interested, she will let me be.” I rushed my statements to her.
“Kyle, I love you, you can trust me; how can you trust her with your heart, that guy at the party? What if she is having an affair with him, sleeping with him.”
I stopped her from speaking further, “Clara, I won’t let you come in here to talk about her in that manner; please leave so I won’t offend you.”
“Fine, I will leave, but you know I am telling the truth; she might be a cheat.” She left.
I hit the wall out of my rage, “Can I trust Bella? Is this why she can’t have sex with me yet?” I continue hitting the wall.
To be continued.
I think Clara is messing with his brain.
Theo took the responsibility, if is some guys, they will leave her alone to go through the pains, am I right or wrong?
