EPISODE 32
The next morning, Jane woke up to a call from Jeffery.
“Hey” she answered with a sleepy voice.
“Thank goodness, you finally picked” Jeffery sounded restless.
“What is the matter Jeff?”
“Lauretha alre-ady li-cked the video of our break-up to a popular blogger, it’s going viral alre-ady”
“What?”
Jane’s scream, woke Amaka up, and she immediately sprang to her feet, re-ady to run. If not for the serious discussion she was having with Jeffery, Jane would have bust into laughter because of Amaka’s reaction.
“I told you, this was going to happen. I alre-ady s£nt someone to come take you to the beach house. No one will find you there. I have to go now, my mom is calling. I love you”
When Jeffery ended the call, Jane coll@psed on the be-d, what has she gotten herself into? If the p@rternity test c@m£ out positive, how was she going to clean up this mess, and still continue her wedding plans with Jeffery?
Amaka helped her to pack a few things she was going to nee-d at her stay, at the beach house. Amaka couldn’t go with her, as she nee-ded to be at work.
The person Jeffery as-signed to take Jane to the beach house, was alre-ady waiting for her outside her compound. She got into the car, and they drove off.
It was alre-ady 6pm, and Jane haven’t gotten a call from the Lab where she took the samples for the DNA test. When she called in the afternoon to check if the results were re-ady, they told her it wasn’t, and that they would call her, when it was re-ady. She had paid an extra fee, so the results could be out in 24hrs.
Several people have caught wind of her fake break-up with Jeffery, and her phone has been ringing off the hook. Several of them, wanting to know if it was true or not, including her wedding planner who was almost at the point of tears, when she learnt of the break-up. Jane had to as-sure her to go on with the wedding preparations, as the wedding will still hold.
As she paced the room awaiting a call from the Laboratory, her phone rang. It was from them.
“Good evening ma’am, you may come for your results they are re-ady now”
Jane quic-kly got dressed, ma-king sure to disguise herself, so no one would recognize her. She ordered a cab, and when to get the results.
Immediately Jane got the results, she opened it to re-ad the contents: Jeffery wasn’t Remi’s biological father.
Jane had to re-ad the result several times, before she could actually believe what was written in it. If Remi wasn’t Jeffery’s son, when then has Lauretha been trying to f0rç£ Jeffery into marriage using the boy as a bait?
She nee-ded to call and inform Jeffery about the results. But then she decided against it, this news would better be delivered in person. Besides she knows a p@rt of him was alre-ady having a liking for the boy. She could tell from his voice, when she had called him last night, to ask how the dinner went.
Jane was still contemplating on what to do, when she heard a knock on the door.
“Who is it?” She asked, only Jeffery and the driver who brou-ght her, knew this location, and she wasn’t expecting Jeffery until the next one hour or two, he had alre-ady called to inform her, he was still at the office, as he had some work to finish up, before leaving. The person kept knocking on the door.
“Who is it?” Jane was alre-ady getting apprehensive, why wasn’t the person saying his or her name?
“It’s Lauretha, open up we nee-d to talk”
Lauretha, what could she want from her? How did she even know she was hiding here? Jane decided to ignore her, maybe she will leave.
“Jane, I know you are in there. plea-se open up, I just want us to talk”
Jane decided to quic-kly text Jeffery, letting him know Lauretha was there. Before she opened the door.
“Hi Lauretha, what can I do for you?” She didn’t make any attempt to allow Lauretha inside, as she stood blocking the entrance.
“Aren’t you going to invite me in?” Lauretha was smiling as she spoke, she looked really harmless, but there is no telling with anyone anymore. After all Sandra looked harmless, but she still kidnapped and tortured Jane.
“I’m sorry, but you would have to say whatever it is you want to say here”
“Jane plea-se, I won’t be here for long, it’s really chilly out here and I alre-ady have a cold” she pleaded. Jane decided to finally let Lauretha in.
“So what do you want?” Jane asked folding her arms, after letting Lauretha inside.
“I’m here to talk to you about Jeffery, and our son”
“Oh really? and what is it about them, that you want to talk to me about?” Jane asked in annoyance, the nerve she has, coming here to talk to her about, a child that she has been lying to Jeffery about who the real father was.
“I know you had a DNA test conducted, just so you could know if Remi is truly Jeffery’s son, and I’m sure you alre-ady have your answer by now”
How on earth, did she find out about the test? Can’t someone do something pri-vate in this Lagos, and it won’t be heard by someone else?
“You look surprised? I’m a pri-vate investigator remember? So it’s not difficult for me, to get any piece of information. I know the results are not in my favor and I’m here to get them before you show them to Jeffery”
“Hahahahhee…..” Jane held her abd0m£n in laughter. ”I’m sorry but, You must be a joker, for you to think, you could just walk in here and demand I hand the results over to you”
“I know you have a price, so what is it? I’m re-ady to pay”
“I can see you have lost your s-en-ses, now get out!”
“Everyone has a price, so name yours. I know you would nee-d the money now, more than ever, especially now that Jeffery has broken up with you”
“You must really be delusional, if Jeffery has broken up with me, then why did he bring me here to keep me safe? Oh you didn’t know? We only pla-yed a prank on you, just so we could have access to the boy, and have a DNA test done”
“You cheap lier, Jeffery would do no such thing, now hand over those results to me” Lauretha stretched out her hands to Jane.
“I would advise you get out now, before I called the police”
“Now, listen up little girl, I have waited years to have Jeffery to myself, and now that it’s finally happening, neither you nor any stupid DNA test is going to stand in my way” she advanced towards Jane as she spoke. “For the last time, give me those results, or you wouldn’t like the next thing I’m going to do”
“And I said get lost” Jane was walking to the door to open it for Lauretha to leave, but Lauretha pu-ll-ed Jane on her hair, drawing her back.
“Don’t you dare walk out on me”
Jane freed herself from Lauretha’s grip, and sl@pped her on the cheek. And before she could react, Jane sl@pped the other cheek. “Don’t you ever l@yyour filthy hands on me again!”
Lauretha who was still shocked at Jane’s boldness, held her hurting cheeks. “I can see, the chicken has suddenly grown teeth, now you think you can bite right?”
“Lauretha, if you try me, I will not only bite you, but I will chew on you. I warn you to leave now!” Jane wasn’t taking her eyes off Lauretha, just in case she wanted to pl@yfunny, even though, she was only bluffing and couldn’t withstand a fight with Lauretha, she still nee-ded to keep her guard.
“Fine, show what you’ve got” Lauretha challenged Jane.
Jane knew Lauretha was stronger than her, and could easily beat the hell out of her. So she immediately gr@bb£d a flower vase which was on the table beside her, and as Lauretha c@m£ closer, she crashed it on her head, ma-king Lauretha scream out in pain, and held her alre-ady bleeding head. Just then, the door swung open, and Jeffery walked in with two police men.
“Freeze everyone” one of the police officer shouted pointing a gun at Lauretha as she tried to reiterate.
“Oh baby, I’m so sorry” Jeffery went to Jane’s side, and hvgged her. When he got her text message, he tried calling her, but she wasn’t picking up, he bec@m£ worried and decided to inform the police.
“You are un-der arrest ma’am, for trespas-sing” the second officer c@m£ and handcuffed a screaming Lauretha and esc-rted her to the car.
“Are you okay miss?” The first police officer asked Jane who held on to Jeffery’s shi-t like her life depended on it.
“I’m fine officer, thank you so much for coming” she was scared they were going to arrest her as well.
“Thank you officer, we will be at the station for her to make her statement” Jeffery thanked the officer.
“So that boy is not mine?” Jeffery asked in disbelief, after Jane had show him the DNA results.
“Apparently, Lauretha wanted to have you by all means, so she decided pin another’s man’s child on you”
“This is unbelievable” Jeffery sounded so disappointed.
“I’m sorry Jeff, I know you were alre-ady starting to bond with that boy”
“It’s okay, we are going to have our own beautiful children, and raise them together. And the girls would look just as beautiful, as their mother”
“And our sons would look just like you, strong, handsome, smart and intelligent. Of course they won’t inherit your heart breaking genes, God knows their father has broken enough hearts, to last several generations to come”
“At least they get to inherit my good looking gene, and also my smartness, I think that’s enough. They can take the rest from their mother” he placed a soft k!sson herl-ips. “I’m sorry you had to fight Lauretha all alone”
“It’s okay, let’s thank God it wasn’t my head that got broken”
“I never knew you could fight, to the extent of breaking someone’s head”
“After being kidnapped twice, you learn to protect yourself from further threat, or anything that looks like a kidnap threat”
“I’m sorry you had to go throu-gh all these for my sake. I can’t wait for us to get married”
“Me neither”
“We are going to get married no matter what, I don’t care whatever they throw at us, come next weekend we are getting married”
