∆∆ THE WESTON’S MANSION
” Granny.. ” Raphael hugged her at once
” My baby ” Grandma Jane smiled, still in the hug
She saw Godiva behind her grandson and she disengage from the hug
” Good evening grandma.. ” she did a little bow
” Who is she? ” Grandma Jane asked ignoring her greetings
” Grandma, she just greeted you.. ” Raphael said
” I’m not deaf, just asking who she is..” Grandma Jane replied and Godiva felt bad instantly..
How come her boyfriend’s grandma doesn’t like her at first glance? She wondered
” She’s my boss and my girlfriend.. ” Raphael replied and his grandma furrowed her brow
” Girlfriend? What happened to cerlia?”
” She’s with someone else and will be having a baby with her new lover.. ” he replied and Grandma Jane scoffed
” Even if you should date, you shouldn’t date someone with no manners Raphael.. ” She said staring at diva who already had tears gathering in her eyes
” I… I ” Godiva stuttered continuously
” I don’t know where you’ve known her from Grandma but believe me, she’s a changed person I swear.. you know I wouldn’t lie right? And you’ll have to accept her cos I love her ” Raphael said and walked over to Godiva, holding her hands
” Grandma.. ” Godiva called and went on her knees while Grandma Jane furrowed her brow at her actions
” I don’t know what I did but I think it’s actually my first time seeing you, I don’t know if I said awful things to you in the past but please I’m sorry ”
” You really don’t remember my face?” Jane asked
Godiva shook her head still on her knees
” Then I’ll take it like it didn’t happen” Grandma Jane walked over to her pulling her up gently and hugging her while she cried on her shoulders
What if his grandma didn’t accept her? How will she have handled it? She thought sniffing
Grandma Jane released her and wiped her tears then pulled her to a seat..
She asked Godiva some few questions which she replied to
” Sorry to ask grandma, but what did I do? I don’t remember” She said
” You splashed water on me with your car, I thought you were gonna apologize but your car didn’t even stop.. ”
” Oh my.. ” She exclaimed when she finally remembered that day..
She was so annoyed that day that, she drove herself home
When it later dawn on her she splashed muddy water on someone, her car came to a halt.. she was about leaving her car when the unknown lady already board a cab and left
” I didn’t mean that..” she muttered, staring at the cab as it left
…..
” I’m sorry about the incident that day..” she said and explained what happened to Jane and she smiled
After a long day together, it was late and they decided to leave..
” Please make my baby happy okay?” Grandma Jane said and Godiva nodded with a smile
” I will grandma..” she replied and held Raphael’s hands
” Bye grandpa.. ” she waved as they left the house

∆∆ WEEKS LATER
Godiva has been feeling dizzy and nauseous that she couldn’t even go to work so Alora was the one going to the company in her stead.
Ever since she returned to the states, no one has made an attempt of attacking her, so she concluded her enemies were in Japan
” You look…sick, call Mary.. ” vespertine said sitting next to his sister on the couch
” Yeah, I agree ” Raphael said
” I said I’m fine, will y’all just stop pestering me to go to the hospital? See, I’m fine ” she stood and fell back almost immediately when her vision went blurry
” See? Stop trying to prove a point and just call Mary ” Vespertine said and she reluctantly took her phone.. she dialed Mary’s number which she picked at first ring
? Hey baby.. how are you? She asked
? I’m sick Mary, I keep feeling dizzy, nauseous, lazy….. She started explaining her symptoms to Mary while Mary chuckled
? I’ll be at the mansion right away.. Mary said and ended the call..
“See? I called her ” she rolled her eyes at vespertine and threw her phone away
….
Mary did some check up on her and smiled
” I said I’m not feeling well and you are here smiling.. you’re happy cos I’m sick?” She asked annoyed
” Congrats baby, you’re expecting a baby..”
” Huh?”
” you’re few weeks gone ”
” Gone?”
” I mean pregnant, silly ” Mary laughed and her eyes went wide
” Huh?? Oh my goodness.. diva is pregnant?!!! ” Vespertine exclaimed
” This is good news.. brother-in-law is the best goal scorer ” he exclaimed, taking his phone to call larina but Godiva held his hands
” are you serious Mary? Are you saying there’s a little human in my belly right now?” She asked touching her stomach while Mary nodded her head
She sat next to her and began explaining some dos and don’ts to her.. after a while, she left the house
” Barbie ” Raphael smiled broadly
” I’m pregnant knight, I’m carrying our baby ” she hugged him tight and her phone rang
‘ Who could it be? ‘ She thought, disengaging from the hug and taking her phone. She put it on speaker and a male voice spoke
? Come to this address if you want to save your lovely sister.. the voice said and laugh..
She was about saying something when she heard Alora’s voice in the background
?Don’t come Diva, they’re after you.. she heard Alora cry and suddenly heard her groan
Her eyes widened more
? Send your address and I will be right there.. diva said in a shaky voice
? Don’t you dare bring the cops else she dies.. the voice said and ended the call
” Oh no, Alora..” she exclaimed in tears while vespertine just didn’t know what to do or say
” I must go and rescue her.. why would they kidnap her? Just why?” She sobbed and Raphael pulled her into a hug
” Things are alot messier than we think ” he muttered stroking her hair as she cried
