Mrs Nolan's car packed inside the Greyson's Mansion. She got down, acknowledged so greetings before walking in.
"Philla!!" Mrs Greyson called just as Mrs Nolan stepped in.
They both hugged.
"It's been a while!... " Mrs Greyson said.
"I know right..."
"So, what can I offer you?" Mrs Greyson asked.
"There would be no need for that.. I'm here for something very important" Mrs Nolan said.
"Okay, what brings you here?" Mrs Greyson asked.
"It's about Claudia!.." Mrs Nolan said and noticed how the countenance of Mrs Greyson changed.
"What about Claudia?"
"Uhm... Whatever I'm gonna tell you, please don't freak out" Mrs Nolan said.
'Okay..."
Mrs Nolan took a deep breath.... "Claudia's dead!" She said and waited for Mrs Greyson's reaction. She expected the worse from her. I mean, she just announced that her daughter is dead and she's cool about it.
"I knew this would happen.. She got what she deserves"
Mrs Nolan was shocked. How can a mother be so relaxed about her daughter's death?
"You aren't affected by your daughter's death?.." Mrs Nolan asked.
"No!.. And she is not my daughter. No daughter of mine would be a monster" Mrs Greyson said.
Mrs Nolan frowned... She doesn't get what's happening. And as if Mrs Nolan noticed her confusion, she began to explain.
Mrs Nolan opened her mouth in shock as she listened to Mrs Greyson. So she was never Claudia's mom?!.
".... I'd rather remain childless than continue to care for some ungrateful bitch!" Mrs Greyson said.
"But... Why was she insane? I mean, she's rich... she got everything she could wish for" Mrs Nolan said.
".. Before Claudia moved to callifornia, she was engaged to a business man. He has a daughter, six months old. Claudia was supposed to get married to him.
"Seeing that the man loved his child dearly, Even more than he loves her... it angered her a lot. She felt the baby was taking him from her. She felt jealous and killed the baby. The man witnessed the scene and tried calling the cops. As defended, she knocked the man out but it only lead to his death as well.
"Claudia seeked for my help and been her mother, I helped her Clean the mess. Ever since, she began mentally unstable. She could hear the cries of the baby. Then I sort for the rehab centre.
Mrs Greyson explained to the shocked Mrs Nolan who couldn't believe what she just heard.
"Wow!..." Was all left her lips.
"All that's in the past now. I wanna apologize for the mess Claudia caused you and your family. I wish there was something I could have done to prevent this from happening" Mrs Greyson said.
"No! It's okay... Everything happens for a reason. What Matters most is that they are safe" Mrs Nolan said.
"Thank you so much Philla! At Least now I know, nothing of Claudia, holds me back" Mrs Greyson said to Mrs Nolan who nodded.
"Hey! Slow down sweetheart or you might choke!" Liam warned.
She swallowed then gulped down some water.
"It's so delicious Liam" She said scooping some into her mouth.
"If you continue like this -You might
get fat!" Liam joked. She placed her cutlery down the folded her hands underneath her b**bs. A frown appeared on her face.
"Hey! What's Wrong?" He asked but she rolled her eyes in return. "Did I say something wrong?"
"Am I fat?" She simply asked.
"Seriously... You've added a little wait. Your cheeks have become more chubbier" Liam said.
"That means I'm ugly!" She said.
Liam laughed.. "Who says you're ugly?"
"C'mon sweetheart! Fat or not... You still look really pretty. My cute Barbie doll" Liam pinched her cheeks. Her frown turned into a smile.
"Eat up! I wouldn't want my little princess to starve" He said referring to the baby.
"I've lost my appetite!" She said.
"What! But you barely ate." Liam said.
Jasmine shrugged... "I crave for something else" She said.
"What is it?"
"Some grilled fish.." She said licking her lips.
"What? Grilled fish?" Liam said. "We can't get it here except the local market and it's miles away. Please crave for something else".
"No! I want nothing else but grilled fish. Please let's go get it.. please! It's what the baby wants"Jasmine said.
"Ok fine!.. I'll go get changed" Liam said and she smiled.

Jasmine chewed on the grilled fish licking her lips. They were already at the market.
"You should try it..!" She said, cutting a piece and moving it close to his mouth.
"No!.. There's no need"
"C'mon try it. swears! You're gonna love it" She said stuffing it into his mouth even when he still refused.
Liam had no choice but the eat the grilled fish. It tasted so good but he wasn't in the mood taking any of this.
If this is what pregnancy entails, then he's never gonna get her pregnant. He couldn't believe he'd driven miles just to get her some grilled fish.. His baby to be precise.
"How many should I wrap up?" The old man selling the grilled fish asked.
"A wrap please!" Liam said. The man quickly wrapped up the grilled fish.
"That's a total of $80 sir!"
Liam pulled out his wallet, took some notes and handed it to the man.. He counted it and widened his eyes in shock.
"This is too much sir! it's $200" The man said trying to return some notes.
"You can keep it sir!" Liam replied.
"Oh! Thank you so much Sir.. Thank you. This would really go a long way for my family tonight. Thank you!" He exclaimed.
Liam just smiled and picked up the items then turned to Jasmine. She'd already finished up what she was eating... But her eyes were fixed to a particular direction. Liam traced her eyes only to see she's staring at an ice cream truck.
Don't tell me she wanna get some ice cream; Liam thought.
"Can I have a taste of that?" Jasmine pointed at the truck.
Liam sighed... like he has a choice.
"Let's go!" He said. they headed to the ice cream truck.
"What flavor would you like ma'am, sir?" The ice cream man said.
"Strawberry!" Jasmine said. packs of strawberry ice cream was wrapped up for her.
Liam paid for it... "Want anything else?"
Jasmine stared around the market. nothing seems to entice her. maybe this is all she wants.
She shook her head negatively... Liam held her hands and they began to walk back to the car.
They got into the car and Jasmine didn't hesitate in picking a pack if ice cream.
"You know, I'm never gonna get you pregnant sweetheart!" Liam said making her laugh.
"Why?"
"I can't bear to think of how the second pregnancy would be... I'll literally get the entire world for you" Liam teased.
"More are yet to come baby!" Jasmine said going back to licking her ice cream.
•
The drive was silent.. They have been driving for some hours now. Jasmine noticed Liam took a different route instead of the one that leads to the mansion.
"Where are we going?" Jasmine asked.
"I've gat a surprise for you sweetheart!"
"Really!.." Jasmine exclaimed and he nodded.
•
“How long does it have to take, Liam?” She asked impatiently as he kept driving for what seemed like forever to me.
“Chill, Jasmine. Come on” he grouse and she rolled her eyes.
Well, She couldn’t wait to see the surprise.
She sighed and brought out her phone, going through the net.
Not long, Liam screenced to an halt.
"We're here!" He said.
She looked around and discovered they were in front of an estate.
Wow!
“Are we there?” she asked, wondering what the surprise could be.
He smiled and stepped out of the car before coming to open hers for her.
She came out as well and had a look around.
Wow! It was beautiful!
Just like half – heaven.
The estate was so beautiful and dreamy. There were so many houses on it and looked just the same!
But why are they here?
She kept looking around and didn’t even bother to ask Ryan again”
“Its yours, sweetheart” he said and she gasped.
Whaaaat?
She flinched and quickly turned to look at him.
What’s he talking about?
“The estate…is yours” he repeated himself, obviously noticing the perplexed look on her face.
Huh?
“Mine?” Jasmine asked, pointing to her chest.
He smiled and nodded.
What the…
But how? How can somebody actually buy an estate?? How possible?? An estate with so many houses on it??
How can Liam buy something that expensive?
She gasped and looked at him.
“Liam!” She exclaimed, not knowing what to say.
She was overly shocked.
“The estate is mine?” she tried to find her words.
“Yes – from now on, you’ll be in charge of collecting the rents form of all the occupants. They’re all yours”. He explained.
A tear escaped her eye.
This alone was enough to make me a billionaire.
Oh my God!
