Chereads / Dad's secret (The mystery box) / Chapter 15 - Chapter Fourteen

Chapter 15 - Chapter Fourteen

Jade's POV

I finally got to the house I was sent to deliver. It seemed do quiet and distant from the rest that I wondered if anyone actually lived here. it didn't look so big and there was no bell so I had to knock. The occupant took so long to answer that I began to wonder if I was actually at the right address and besides it was too quiet. I checked the address I was given and it matched the one on the front porch and so I decided to knock again. After few seconds, I heard what seemed like a door click and then all of a sudden the door was flung open with so much force like as though the occupant was in panic and then came face to face with a young lady who looked like she was ready to kill someone with a knife in her hand. She looked at me for a few seconds and upon sighting the pizza box in my hand she immediately relaxed. I wondered what was wrong as she looked so troubled. I tried to find out what was wrong but was shunned so I decided to mind my business. She took the pizza from my hands, paid and then banged the door. I decided to mind my business as I made my way back to work on my bike. I retired for the day as I made my way to the church to meet with the kids whom I had planned to talk to about our camp out coming soon.. 

Erica's POV

As I twisted the door knob, I forcefully opened the door and came face to face with a young man who looked frightened by my action, I was almost about to drag him by the collar until I saw a pizza box in his hands and remembered I had ordered pizza on my way home. I breathed out in relief as it felt like air was just being pumped into my lungs. He asked if I was alright to which I responded in the positive and then collected my pizza, paid and then locked my door without even bothering to give him a smile or even a thank you. I walked to my bed and passed out in relief, I really needed help...

Mrs Joanna's POV

(flashback continuation)

Life went on as usual with my partying, working husband and the children who were being cared for by the maids. Some time later, I and my husband got invited for a function at his work place and after the whole party, we managed to get home though drunk. The next week after that, I began to throw up and feel drowsy and then decided to go for check up. I stared at the doctor in shock and fear as he uttered the words " congratulations ma you are pregnant", I almost passed out as my worst fears were resurfacing .

Terry's POV

I resumed work the next week and true to my expectations, I knew nothing about what I was getting myself into. The little knowledge I had managed to gather from books got me nowhere as the moment I stepped into the office, it was like the ground should open and swallow me up as I attracted the stares of everyone and it was like they expected me to do something which I wasn't aware of. I felt so bad as I had expected a warm welcome at least. I managed to make my way to dad's office with so much fear and upon getting in, I locked the door. As I thought of what to do, I immediately heard a knock on my door and froze...
