Married to the President - Tessy Chris

Chapter 1: Rape

The Sunlight shone upon her tired face. She opened her eyes wearily and felt weak and tired. The sun rays poured into her eyes, and she shut them quickly.

Gradually she opened her eyes gently and allowed it to adjust to the light in her surroundings. Where is she?

She raised herself to a sitting position and tried remembering what happened. She lifted the quilt and was surprised when she found herself naked. What happened to her? Why is she here? When did she pull off her dress?

She remembered vaguely that Tiana had helped her into a room last night. She didn't remember anything else besides…

Ah! Someone had taken advantage of her, she'd been raped! She lifted the quilt again and checked herself.

The hickey, the blood stain and the pain of being torn only proved that she had been taken.

She is married and there is no way she can excuse herself or explain to Lu Jingli that she had lost her first time to someone else.

She stood up quickly, picked up her dress on the floor and dashed into the bathroom. Just then Lu Jingli walked in with his mother and Tiana.

That's right, she had really been taken. Take the photos of the blood stain bedspread and let's leave That's Lu Cherry.

She's Lu Jingli's mother. I have enough reason to divorce her and be married to the love of my life Lu Jingli chimed and held Tiana close to his heated body and kissed her.

Easy my love. We will be married soon and I will become yours fully. My sister has been pushed out of the way Tiana Mo said, sounding really excited.

Theresa Mo heard their words and couldn't believe her ears. Her husband and sister connived together against her?

She waited until the sound of the footsteps had gone far before she walked out of the bathroom with her dress on. She hurried her steps and walked away.

Hardly had Theresa Mo left when Pascal Lee got into the room. He checked through and didn't see anyone.

Hello boss, the woman is gone. But I will show you the proof of her innocence Pascal Lee said and took photos of the blood stain on the bed.

Theresa Mo has always been a strong woman. She had married Lu Jingli out of an arranged marriage.

They were only four months old in marriage. Though they didn't love each other, they agreed to nurture their feelings for each other first before going intimate.

But despite the fact that she hadn't gone intimate with him, it doesn't make her less his wife. But she can't imagine that Tiana would set her up so as to be with her husband.

Theresa Mo arrived home in a taxi and went into the house:

Chapter 2; In the Hospital

As soon as she stepped into the sitting room, she was greeted with a ferocious stare. The glare coming from Lu Jingli was capable of making someone miss steps.

Whore, you still have no shame left in you and you took those miserable feet of yours into this house Lu Cherry cursed.

You are married and still thinking about sleeping with someone else? Are you so cheap and casual that you don't know your status and where to turn to when you need someone to meet your needs? Lu Jingli thundered.

Hypocrites, Theresa Mo thought. He pretends to be upset and yet knows about all that happened. He was the one who brought her the drink that sent her hypoxia.

This marriage is over. I can't pretend to know what you've done nor turn my eyes away. You are a loose woman and a slut Lu Jingli eyed her irritatingly.

"What right do you have to say horrible words at me when you were the one who drugged me? What kind of a man drugs his wife so as to trap her?

Do you think I do not know of your escapades with my sister? You wanted a divorce right? You should have said it rather than trying to create a reason for it" Theresa Mo snapped at him.

Lu Jingli was temporarily rendered speechless. How did she know about him and Tiana Mo? Had they left a clue behind?

"How dare you accuse my son with no evidence? A bitch like you should hide her face or better still drive herself into committing suicide.

But here you are rattling pretentiously after spending a night with your lover" Lu Cherry accused her.

If you know what is good for you, sign the divorce papers and leave, otherwise, I will make your life miserable and a living hell Lu Jingli threatened.

Before he finished his statement, Theresa Mo had walked past him and was going upstairs but Lu Cherry hurried her steps after her and pulled her by her hair.

Theresa Mo's scalp was hurt as her mother in-law dragged her around the room. She threatened and said her son can't wait on someone else's left over.

Theresa's body already felt hurt and turned. Now dragging her like this she went out of strength. She didn't know how long it took, but she knew her eyes became dizzy and then blackout.

Theresa Mo opened her eyes three days later. She found herself on an infusion. She felt weak. She remembered the last thing that happened before she passed out but didn't know how she ended up in the hospital.

No one was with her in the hospital. She thought how cruel life is and her eyes welled up. She was forced into this union despite knowing they both have no chemistry between them.

Her stepmother insisted she would be married to the Lu family. Lu Jingli is the second master of the Lu family.

They are one of the four richest families in Country Z. Since Lu Jingli wasn't the heir to the Lu enterprise, her step mother made it mandatory that she should marry Lu Jingli?

Her daughter Tiana Mo should be the only girl in the Mo family so that the young master of Yu's family will choose her as his heir.

But Li Yu returned from America with a woman he got married to. His parents got infuriated and stripped all titles from him. He remained a member of the Yu family but cannot be the heir.

She didn't know how and when her husband and Tiana Mo got entangled with each other. She was there lost in her thoughts when a man walked in.

Chapter 3: Divorce

Lu Jingli's lawyer walked into the hospital ward and stood before Theresa Mo. He pulled a seat and sat on it.

Opening his portfolio he brought out the divorce papers. Ms. Mo, please sign this paper and end your marriage with my client The lawyer instructed.

Theresa Mo doesn't know if she's to smile or weep. Lu Jingli is really a beast. He couldn't even let her out of the hospital before bringing the papers to her.

What if I refused to sign? Theresa Mo asked. What would Lu Jingli and his mother do if she refuses to sign a divorce paper?

Her marriage would remain thereby preventing him from being with Tiana Mo. He can't possibly force her considering he was the one who actually drugged her.

Then you will force my client to take drastic action and go public with your adulterous lifestyle. Remember you are an illegitimate daughter and your mother's past life would be dug out the lawyer replied with a disgusting tone.

Theresa Mo felt her heart beat almost skip. She had always lived her life in contrast to her mother's. Her mother was said to have had her out of wedlock.

But when her parents decided to be married, her mother got hit by a reckless driver and she couldn't survive. Hence she remained an illegitimate daughter.

She was three when her father married Molly Mo and they had Tiana a year later. She had grown under the tutelage of her stepmother.

While her father was still alive, Molly Mo put up with her. She didn't show her hatred towards her nor did she care about her. They lived together and had no issues all these years until her father died.

When her father's will was read and it shows that he divided his wealth equally between his two daughters, Molly Mo was mad.

How could Zongtian Mo have given Theresa the same share of his property with Tiana? The latter was an illegitimate daughter and she had been kind enough to accommodate her in the house and let her bear the Mo surname.

But having equal rights with her daughter was going the extreme and she would never accept it. She was going to deal with Theresa until she was satisfied with her revenge.

Ms. Mo, sign the papers the lawyer urged her. He seemed to be in a hurry and didn't understand what was making Theresa lost in thought.

Theresa raised herself carefully to sit down without affecting the infusion passed into her hand. He collected the golden pen from the lawyer's outstretched hand.

The paper reads that she is never to return to pick a needle in her matrimonial home neither does her own any more of those shares in her father's Company.

Her property was compensation to Lu Jingli for being cuckolded. Theresa Mo's hands shook when she read the condition attached to the divorce papers.

She sighed softly and stilled her irrational breathing and signed the papers. She signed the papers to the end of her wealth and properties, she just signed herself into a life of poverty.

The lawyer saw her sign and handed the papers to him. He collected it and placed them back into his portfolio and then raised his head and smiled for the first time since he entered Theresa.

I wish you a great life Ms. Mo and ehhm have a good day the lawyer said and stood up walking out of the hospital ward.

Theresa Mo watched him leave and her tears gave way down her cheeks. She had been ruined. Her life has become empty and void.

She is empty. No parents, no husband. She thought she had a sister but alas, she's a green snake under a green grass. Where is her home, who are her people? Where does she turn for help?

Theresa wept until she had no more strength in her to weep. She had nothing else besides the dress she had on which lay beside her on the bed.

When she changed out of the hospital wear she's putting on, she had only that dress as her only belonging.

The lawyer stepped out of the hospital and got into a tinted car where Lu Jingli and Tiana Mo sat. She signed when I threatened her with her mother's past life The lawyer seemed to be boasting.

I know you are capable of making that bitch succumb. I will add 10% to your fees Lu Jingli replied happily. Now he is free from the shackles of that bondage called marriage.

Gush, he didn't like that girl a bit. She disgusts him. He had to put up pretending for the past four months.

"Baby, you are the best ''Tiana Mo chimed, placing her head on Lu Jingli's shoulder and circling her hand around his arm.

They both kissed each other and felt satisfied as the Chauffeur turned the ignition switch on, and doomed off.

No one came to check on her for the next two days she remained in the hospital. She ordered takeout and ate while in the hospital. She's glad he left her phone by her bedside.

She had transferred the few money in her account to a secret account that she had access to. She can underestimate the extent to which Lu Jingli would go.

She was able to pay her bills and got discharged from the hospital. Since she couldn't return home, she had to go to her stepmother's place.

At least that house belongs to her father as well. She could stay there for a while and find something meaningful to do with her time and life.

She boarded a taxi and told him the address to drive her to. She can vouch for her stepmother. She wouldn't be in support of what her daughter had done.

She may not have really loved her but at least she was the one who paired her forcefully to Lu Jingli. She's to be blamed for forcing her with that idiot.

If she got to know that her daughter had a hand in what led to the split of the marriage she instituted, Molly Mo would definitely be mad with her daughter Tiana Mo.

The taxi driver came to a halt at the address that Theresa Mo had told him. He waited to see her alight but was surprised when the woman he carried remained in the car without the slightest intention of stepping out of the car.

He glanced at her from the rear view mirror and saw her teary eyes. She was shedding tears and at the same time seemed to be lost in distant thoughts.

The taxi driver shook his head. Everyone has one battle or the other they are fighting. He doesn't know what is eating up such a beautiful woman but he knew she looked troubled and lost.

He has his own battle too and she may not know him as much as he cannot guess hers. He sighed softly before saying ma'am, we are there

But Theresa Mo didn't hear him talk to her. He repeated it one more time and pressed his car horn. Theresa Mo suddenly jerked out of her thoughts and looked embarrassed.

How long had this man been talking to her and she didn't hear him. He had to even press the horn button.

She cleaned her tears and alighted from the car quickly. She paid the fees but before the taxi man collected the money he said "ma'am, I may not know what you are facing at present but I want you to be strong and don't lose hope.

Everything will be fine, give it time" he collected the money and Theresa Mo told him to keep the change. She smiled and said thank you to him before hurrying her steps towards the house.

But at the threshold, she froze when she heard the voices of those in the house:

Chapter 4; Homeless

Theresa Mo was shocked and rendered momentarily dazed. Her stepmother was part of the set up?

I got everything back. That girl shouldn't have been allowed in this home in the first place. But now, she takes from Tiana what was supposed to be hers alone Molly Mo said excitedly.

She seemed to be in Company of some people. Theresa Mo never thought she would be involved in something so shady.

"Aunt, I told you to leave everything in my hands. I was going to strip her off everything she's got. I not only did that but also made her lose her first time to a hooker.

Who's going to marry a girl who's poor and not innocent? Such a combination in a woman drives men far away like the west from the East" Lu Jingli praised himself.

Mum, I told you to have full faith in Lu Jingli. He had proven himself competent to be my husband Tiana Mo said shyly.

Absolutely Tiana. Congratulations once again Molly Mo said and Theresa Mo heard the sound of glasses clicking.

They were having a toast to her downfall? She tore the door knob and stepped in. The guests were surprised when they saw her and none of them made any sound for the next few seconds.

Theresa Mo palm formed into a fist. This is a confederacy of conspirators. They plotted against her and she unknowingly fell into their trap.

She looked at their faces one after the other. They were four in number. Molly and her daughter Tiana Mo. Lu Jingli and his mother Cherry Lu. These are the people who dragged her into the mire.

But one day, she would rise again and pay every one of them for what they had done to her.

Tic...Tic...Tic see who we have here? The adulterous wife. You still have the effrontery to come back here? You actually threw away the last bit of shame you have left? Molly Mo mocked.

She eyed Theresa Mo from her head down to her toes. She walked over and walked around her. Before she laughed out loud.

"You've heard everything we said right? Well I am going to tell you how it all started. I had planned this a long time ago with my dear friend Cherry Lu.

We had her Son help us execute the plans in exchange for him marrying Tiana. I forced you into the marriage so that we can get everything back later.

That's why Lu Jingli never touched you nor had sex with you. He will be Tiana's and cannot waste his manliness on an illegitimate daughter like you.

We organized the party solely for this purpose and Lu Jingli was the one who drugged you. You were hooked up with a man and the rest you know about it.

This house is out of bounds for you. Everything I have done for you and the years I have accommodated you is all you will have and live in that memory" Molly Mo declared without remorse.

Theresa Mo wanted to cry but held her tears. She will not appear weak before these people otherwise they would mock her the most.

What have I ever done to you to deserve this? Theresa Mo asked. She wants to know why she did this. Is it because her father divided his wealth between her and Tiana? She's the eldest after all or was it because her parents did get to be married before birthing her?

Because you are Zhongtian Mo's illegitimate daughter Molly Mo replied and eyed her before drinking from her glass.

Lu Jingli and I are married, Theresa, we are happy Tiana said, raising her finger and letting Theresa Mo see the golden wedding ring on her finger.

Congratulations Tiana. I wish you both the happiness that you truly deserve Theresa Mo replied and she saw Lu Jingli squinted.

She wasn't wishing them goodness at all, she was actually cursing them and Lu Jingli understood. He couldn't say anything about what she said but knew Theresa Mo's heart has nothing good in there for them but retribution.

He felt a little uncomfortable with the way Molly treated Theresa but at that point he couldn't go back on what he had done. He was pushed into this act by his mother with the promise that he would own the entire Mo's business if he eventually married the legitimate daughter.

What else was Theresa waiting for? She turned her back and left. As she opened the door and stepped it, she turned back to look at the house that holds her childhood memories.

Where her father carries her and Tiana on his thighs or shoulder and they play like a mother dog and her puppies. But today, that house was out of bounds for her henceforth.

She let go of the door and it jammed on its own accord. She walked briskly out of the valvast compound and the tears she had been trying to hold back ?eemd as if they were let loose and it flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

She wandered on the street and didn't know where to go. She was loitering on the pedestrian when she stumbled upon her childhood school friend.

Theresa Mo!!Rosa called and ran to hold her. That was when Theresa saw many people turn and stare at her. And suddenly a car going at a high speed zoomed off beside and the breeze from the car made Theresa and Rosa to stagger.

What's wrong with you Theresa? Do you want to die? Rosa yelled at her and looked at Theresa. Her face was swollen red and she looked tired and weak.

Thank you Rosa, Theresa Mo said. She would have been knocked down just a while ago hadn't Rosa pulled her away from the middle of the road.

Maybe it would have been better if she truly died. She would join with her parents and her misery would be over. She should have died rather than Rosa pulling her.

She heard murmurings from the laser. Some insulting her and others pitying her as they shook their heads and walked away.

Some threw words of caution to her while others simply hissed and went away. Rosa held her hand and took her to the side.

Where are you going Theresa Mo? Rosa asked. Last that she heard, Theresa Mo had a quiet wedding with a certain dude a few months ago.

Why is she looking so miserable? Where is her husband and sister? She has a little sister Tiana if she can remember correctly.

I don't know, Theresa Mo answered. She doesn't have a home, she has nowhere to go. Perhaps she can find a comfortable place in a corner of the street to pass the night.

What do you mean you don't know? Where's your home address? Rosa asked. She's married and definitely has a home with her husband. She equally has a home in Mo's mansion.

I have no home anywhere Rosa. I am a wanderer. Maybe you should have left me a while ago to get crushed by that car rather than saving me Theresa said with teary eyes.

Rosa understood. Her marriage was definitely having issues and she can't possibly return to Mo's mansion. She didn't say anything again nor ask her further questions.

She hailed a taxi and pushed Theresa Mo inside and she joined her inside the car. She gave the driver her address and he drove her home.

Rosa lived with her mother and brother in their little house. Little because it is nothing compared with where she lived and grew up.

Rosa's mother saw her daughter return home with her friend many years ago. She welcomed them both. But seeing Theresa Mo's sad countenance, she didn't ask any more questions.

Rosa's mother and brother took Theresa Mo in and entertained her. She ate and took her bath. Rosa's mother said she could occupy the guest room for as long as she stays in their house.

Theresa Mo couldn't imagine she could receive such good hospitality from an old friend. She sobbed more. An old friend has become her family and her family has become old friends to her. What an irony.

Two days passed and Theresa was getting to smile slightly with Rosa's brother's little jokes. None have asked Theresa Mo what happened to her a few days ago until four days later and she was a little cheerful and talked freely with them.

She was still reserved but a little free with the present family. Rosa's mother that evening called Theresa and Rosa and daughter and asked them what happened?

Chapter 5: Found a new family

Rosa was quiet. She doesn't know what happened to herself. She found Theresa in a pathetic condition and considering how she said she would have preferred that a car crash and she died rather than living.

She brought her home but didn't know what made her so sad and unhappy. She glanced at Theresa and the latter locked eyes with each other.

Theresa bowed her head and her tears came afresh. Rosa's mother was surprised, she was still sobbing after a few days had passed from when she experienced the incident.

She regretted asking. She should have waited some days more before asking. She doesn't want to make her feel hurt.

You don't have to say anything to Theresa if you don't want to. I'm sorry to have asked you in the first place Rosa’s mother coaxed and had given up on hearing Theresa Mo's story when the latter sniffled and smiled faintly.

She told them all that befell her and how she ended up in the hospital and finally signing the papers. When Rosa and her mother heard her story, they shook their heads.

Rosa even shed a few tears to her friend's pathetic story. How can someone be so cruel to another person's Daughter simply because she was her husband's Daughter and not hers?

"How was it my fault that my parents had me out of wedlock? Or how am I to be blamed for my parent’s inability to suppress their sexual desires for each other?

I am bearing the brunt of her affairs and such a malicious conspiracy to throw me out shamefully. If this had happened when my dad was alive, I would have been able to find my feet and not have allowed myself to be ridden by a strange man..." Theresa Mo explained.

Rosa and her mother were quiet to all Theresa Mo said. She had definitely suffered and had been abused. Her arranged marriage ended so shamefully to pave the way to her step sister. It's a cruel world.

Where would she have gone if she hadn't bumped into her that day? No wonder she said she has no home. She was right in her statement.

"We are not that rich like where you are coming from but be rest assured that you will find a family with us. Stay here as much as you want and find your feet again.

You have to be strong and live your life not for anyone now but yourself. The best is yet to come my dear. Please don't put their evilness to heart" Rosa’s mother coaxed.

That way Theresa lived with Rosa and her family for a month and a half.

Lu Jingli sent men everywhere to find Theresa. He wants to compensate her for what happened. He didn't hate her or intend to do such wickedness to her but he was only following the manuscript.

He was acting according to the script. Just to offer her something to make her find a source of livelihood.

But he searched everywhere and found no trace of Theresa Mo. His men couldn't find her either and he was worried about her.

Had she done anything harmful to herself or was she out of the city? He became moody for days.

Tiana began to observe him. What is wrong with her husband? This is not his usual mode. Why was he looking so worried?

What is wrong with him? Was he missing Theresa? No that can't be it. He doesn't like her a bit and they had never gotten intimate with each other.

While he was still in his feigned marriage with her sister, she was already having sex with Lu Jingli. Everywhere and everywhere, they got entangled and wouldn't let go of each other except they had done it to their fill.

While they were doing this, Theresa Mo was still thinking herself to be Lu Jingli's wife. She was his wife by name but he was her soul and body.

She decided to ask Lu Jingli what was happening to him and the latter said he was worried because the company sent out some proposals to clients and he hadn't heard any feedback from any of the clients. He lied.

Tiana Mo sighed softly. That must be it. She knew it can't be because of Theresa. She told him that everything is going to be alright.

They would send a reminder to those clients and see if they would reply again. Lu Jingli smiled and said he was confident in her abilities. She's so intelligent.

Rosa was able to get a job for Theresa Mo in her company. She was to resume on the Monday of the following week and pick up her appointment.

But Theresa observed she's late that month for her period. It has been two weeks already that she's supposed to see her monthly friend and there seems to be a delay.

She had sleepless nights ruminating over it and was afraid of it being what she suspected. When the whole thing happened, she was too moody minded to think of contraceptives.

If Lu Jingli and Tiana Mo had paid a hooker to take her, wouldn't they have advised that he should use a condom at least?

Weren't they afraid that hookers might be carriers of STD and they do not care about her safety as well?

When Rosa went to work, she decided to sneak out. She went to a nearby hospital and asked to run a pregnancy test for her.

The waiting period from the time her sample was collected to the time the result would be out was the longest time Theresa had waited for anything in her life.

Why was it taking so long to run a pregnancy test? Are these people competent at all? Theresa Mo questioned quietly.

When the doctor finally invited her over to his office, he gave her the report and Theresa's hand was shaking.

Wasn't she complaining a while ago that it was taking them too long to present her the result? Now she has the result and her hands are shivering.

The doctor glanced at her. Women who suddenly sweat under the air conditioner when they offer a pregnancy test results are those who got pregnant illegitimately.

What's written inside the result doctor? Theresa Mo asked.

Chapter 6: Pregnant

The doctor glared at her and was amused. She asked him what is written in the result. Ms. Mo, you can check it out the doctor replied politely.

Theresa fearfully tore it open and glanced at it. Her hand shivered. That was when Theresa knew she'd been sweating. Her blouse was soaking in sweat as she held the result in her hand.

Her tears ran down her cheeks. This is what she has been afraid of. The reality stares at her in the face.

You are six weeks pregnant ma'am the doctor stated. He stared at her and knew she wasn't ready for the pregnancy.

Rather than Theresa answering or saying something, she closed her eyes momentarily and her tears ran down her beautiful face.

The doctor looked at her and from the study of psychology, he knew she was bitter and the thought of being pregnant had only added to their present predicament.

Do you want an abortion? But the man who got you pregnant needs to sign the doctor advised. She still has the option of aborting the babies.

I don't know the man, Theresa blotted out. She immediately regretted it. She shouldn't have let him know what happened to her.

The doctor squinted. This is not part of his job but he seemed concerned about her. Why was he going to the extreme for her?

The more reason why you should abort the pregnancy. But I would wish you don't the doctor advised. He felt pity for the lady. No wonder her hand shivered when she was about to open the envelope that contained the result.

Theresa Mo thanked him and said she would sleep over it and then whatever she thinks would be good for her she would do.

Feel free to reach out to me the doctor said and offered her his complimentary card. Reluctantly Theresa Mo accepted the card and went away.

She hailed a taxi quickly and went away. She doesn't want anyone to see her in the hospital premises.

What is she going to do now? She doesn't know the man who got her pregnant nor is she financially buoyant enough to take care of herself and her unborn baby.

That evening, the doctor called Theresa Mo again and told her he would like to see her that evening at the 'City Restaurant'. He pleaded and Theresa agreed to meet him by 8:00pm.

Two days later, Rosa returned from the grocery store and he went to call Theresa out of her room.

She had persuaded her to come along with her to the grocery store but she refused. She quite understands that she doesn't want any member of Mo's family to also see Lu's.

She would be resuming work the next morning, hence they needed to talk about how her first day at work was going to look like.

She had only worked in Mo's business. She hadn't really worked elsewhere and she needed someone to tell her how it was to be an employee.

Rosa dialed Theresa Mo's mobile number and it was switched off. She waited for a while before she decided to check her in the guest room.

But Rosa got in and didn't meet Theresa. She felt something wasn't right. Why does she feel the room is deserted?

Theresa went out? Why didn't she come along with her? Well, she would wait till she returns.

A message beeped into her phone and Rosa checked it when she saw it was from Theresa.

She was dazed when she read the content of the message. She sank into the bed and started sobbing.

Why didn't she confide in her before taking the steps she took? Was she complaining about accommodating her?

Her Mum and brother had no problem with Theresa living with them. Why then did she do what she did? Rosa was sobbing.

She didn't know how long she stayed in the guest room but went out when she heard her mother arrive.

When Rosa's mother saw her daughter, she was surprised. Rosa has been crying for a while now. What happened to her?

She went to her daughter and placed her hands on her shoulder and forced her to look at her in the face.

What's making you sob Rosa? You can tell your mother and I promise to help you in any little way I can her mother coaxed her.

She didn't say anything but handed her phone to her mother to look at the content of the message Rosaline sent

Rosa's mother collected the phone and read the contents of the message. Her eyes became dark and she glanced at her daughter.

What kind of a message was this?

Chapter 7; Left a message

What does Theresa Mo mean by her actions and the message she sent. Why would she think so unhealthy about them?

Rosa's mother became sobered. Has she done something that makes Theresa feel uncomfortable? Or had she said anything that made her feel unwelcome?

For the rest of that day, Rosa, her mother and brother were unhappy. They never expected that things would end this way or that Theresa would one day leave them without a genuine reason for doing that.

Four years later

Theresa Mo walked out of the airport in a blue suit and pants. She wore dark glasses and her hair flew as the breeze blew.

She held her kids, each on each hand and looked around her. The city is still as busy and bustling like it was four years ago that she left.

The people were the same and the climatic condition has never changed as well. But there's only one thing that has changed her personality.

She's taken life and accepted what it has given her. She has learnt to be strong and determined. She's become strong and wiser than she was four years ago.

Her boys were looking so adorable. She wondered who their father was. The man must have been some handsome dude who is capable of making heads turn in his direction.

Other passengers kept staring at the two boys and many touched their chin. Some blew them kisses and others just waved at them with smiles.

Theresa Mo likes styling their hair to the two cut types and it makes them look charming and domineering. They have thin lips and a full shaped round forehead.

They have a V-shaped jaw line with a medium and pointed nose. Their eyes are big and they have fair skin.

Theresa Mo often wonders how handsome her boys are. She would look out to see if perhaps she found someone who has a similar feature like her boys. Such a person might be their father or relative.

Mum, this is our city? Tim Mo asked. He is the eldest of the twins and sometimes behaves as the eldest to his identical twin brother Lee Mo.

Yes sweetheart. We'll be home soon Theresa Mo assured as she hailed a taxi and got their luggage inside.

She gave the taxi driver the address to Rosa's mother's place. She had left without giving a genuine reason, she would have to go there first before getting her own accommodations.

Rosa soon heard a car horn stop in front of her home. She peeped out to see who the person was and only saw a handsome boy step out of the car.

She can't help but admire how handsome the little fellow is. Next, another boy came looking exactly like the first one she saw. She squinted and became serious staring outside the window.

Her mother noticed her seriousness and asked that she should stop poking her nose where it doesn't belong. She can go out and see who is arriving.

They lived with neighbors, it could be one of them that has a guest. But suddenly, Rosa jumped and screamed Theresa Mo!!

Rosa's mother and brother rushed forward and peeped out too. They saw Theresa Mo and quickly opened the door. When they saw Theresa pay the taxi man and turn to face her friends, she threw herself in Rosa's mother's arms.

I missed you Aunt Theresa Mo said and her eyes became Teary. Rosa's mother held her in a hug for a long time during which Rosa went to the quietly standing boys and led them.

Are you Miss Rosa? Lee Mo asked, looking forward to meeting his mum's best friend.

Rosa nodded her head and said yes. Theresa Mo Turned and said "There's a lot to catch up on '' she watched as Rosa carried Tim on her shoulders and her brother carried Lee on his.

She dragged a few luggage but Rosa's mother said her son would return to take them in. It was a happy reunion to be with Rosa and her family again.

The twins were embraced by Rosa's mother. She couldn't express her happiness when she was seeing Theresa Mo after a few years.

Where have you been? Rosa asked. Theresa Mo left and said she was going away to become a stronger woman. She needed space and Rosa shouldn't be worried about her.

I went to country X. I'm sorry Rosa has left the way I did. I couldn't think of a better alternative and telling you what was happening, you and Aunt might not want me to leave, that's why I left when no one was at home to stop me Theresa Mo apologized.

They didn't ask her any more questions. The Kids were here and they needed to apply caution. Theresa settled into the guest room from where she had travelled and soon Rosa's mother prepared dinner for them.

After their breakfast, Theresa read night stories for the kids while Rosa stayed and watched her sing the kids to sleep. She smiled, her friend has become a mother.

Theresa saw her friend smiling and looking at the kids then she smiled too. Seeing people looking at the boy's and smiling has not been new to her anymore.

When they were babies, she can't remember the number of times people plead that she let them carry them. Many gave them gifts, money and bought those clothes.

She knows those boys are cute and anyone who sees them likes them a lot.

I know they are your sons without being told. Was it that incident that led to their pregnancy? Rosa asked.

Theresa nodded and stood up pulling Rosa along with her to the sitting room. She was going to tell everyone how it went with her for the past four years.

Chapter 8; Theresa's Return

Rosa's mother knew Theresa was going to tell them things after the kids fell asleep. She was not surprised when she saw Rosa and Theresa walk out hand in hand.

Theresa sat down and Rosa opposed her. Rosa's brother Hong had gone out for a computer game with his friends.

"I'll never stop thanking you Aunt and Rosa for being my support in the darkest hour of my life. I believe there will never be a time that I will experience such thick darkness like I did four years ago.

I discovered I was pregnant when I went to the hospital to check up. I didn't know what to do at the time. I don't have money, no job and I don't know the one who got me pregnant.

But the doctor who attended to me took it upon himself to check on me later. I told him everything that happened and he decided to seek the help of his foster parents.

They are based in Country X. They agreed and promised to look after me and the pregnancy. So I got a Visa and travelled out without telling you.

They welcomed me and I even started a job there. I had a lot of savings and once a doctor friend came around and spent two weeks with me.

They looked after me until I gave birth to my babies. His mother took over as the nanny and babysitter the boys while I worked to save money for my return.

But after three years, I decided the boys were grown a little bit and I needed to return home. I told my friend Lanre I was planning to return and he said he would tell me when he helped me secure a job first.

Last week he called me and told me I have been offered an appointment as an executive designer in the Li's Group and here I am" Theresa Mo explained briefly.

Rosa's eyes welled up. So much has passed under the bridge within the past four years. If Theresa Mo had told her she was pregnant, she wouldn't have allowed her travel out.

"You could have at least reached us since you left Theresa. I was wondering if we have in any way hurt you and we didn't know.

But I know that your return will be the beginning of a new life for you Theresa. You and your Sons are going to live your life to the fullest.

We'd like to meet your friend Doctor Lanre. Some good people can't help but bring their kindness into their job and such people need to be appreciated" Rosa's mother chimed.

She's happy that Theresa Mo took the wise decision of birthing her babies. Some girls would have taken the decision to abort the pregnancy but she didn't.

She's going to be a great mother. And her kids would be the most important thing that has ever happened to her.

Theresa Mo assured them she would pass their appreciation to Lanre and also invite him over. She then told them she would be buying a house tomorrow at Lane's recommendation.

She will move out with her boys tomorrow and start her new job the day after tomorrow. She would like Rosa to accompany her to see the house.

Rosa agreed and said she would take an excuse from work and accompany her. She teased by saying she just trusts Theresa Mo easily again. She doesn't know maybe she would suddenly take the boys and disappear out of the house again.

They all laughed and Rosa's mother said she doubted it. Theresa isn't going to behave so childish anymore. After some time, Rosa's mother left the two friends to catch up on old times.

The first question Theresa asked was her relationship with her boyfriend? Rosa chuckled softly and sighed.

She told him he was seeing someone else without her knowledge. One day he invited her over to lunch and broke the news of their breakup to her.

She said he was sorry for making her build her hope of them both getting married someday to her. He was shot for breaking her trust and giving her false feelings of love.

He told me he doesn't love me anymore. He was already seeing someone else and realized he had to let me go Rosa said with a time that indicated she was going to cry.

Theresa consoled her and said she would really meet the right guy. The bad one has to go so that the good one can find their way into her life.

She wants her to really talk in love between going to be joined with a man. She should learn from her own experience.

As for her, she was done with men. She doesn't need them anymore. Living her life with her kids and finding happiness is what matters to her in this world.

As for falling in love, she doesn't know if that word exists anymore for her. It was Rosa's turn to tell her she would find happiness again.

And this time, we're going to love her more than she can imagine. And her boys would have a taste of being loved or having a father.

The two friends then catch up on old times before saying goodnight to each other and going to their individual room.

That night, it took a while before Theresa could sleep. She was ruminating over her life four years ago.

Lu Jingli and Tiana Mo must be living happily now. Her sister felt it was convenient to take her man away without the blink of an eye.

She and her ex-husband don't really have any feelings for each other. But it shouldn't be her sister that he would go and be married to.

Molly had really poisoned Tiana's mind against her. The sister she knew and grew up with loves her. No one would believe they were not from the same mother.

Her father had always treated them like twins. Whatever he bought for Theresa, Tiana is getting the same thing. If he can't get two, he wouldn't buy it rather than not giving it to one person.

That way, they both grew up, seeking the same thing for each other. But her father's death makes everything take a different dimension.

Karma would catch up with Molly for what she's done to her and her sister. She would surely regret it someday.

While Theresa was thinking that Tiana and Lu Jingli are happy, something else was troubling them:

Chapter 9; Unhappy marriage.

Lu Jingli was unhappy. They've been married for four years and he has not stopped giving her his body just to see her pregnant. But he can no longer continue and needed to rest a while.

Why have you been ignoring me? We need to be intimate more at this period when we need a child Tiana Mo coaxed.

This shouldn't be the time Lu Jingli be estranged from her especially now that she needed him the most.

Are you going to force me if I choose to ignore you? I want to sleep and I don't like being disturbed Lu Jingli snapped at her.

If she keeps pestering him, he would leave the room and never return that night. What's the use of wasting his manliness on a woman who has nothing to show for it?

Tiana said nothing again. She turned her back to him as well and left him alone. She had been trying to track her ovulation so that she and Lu Jingli could make love, who knows, if she might be lucky and conceive naturally.

She had tried the IVF twice and both failed. She can't imagine that Lu Jingli was going to change completely after the failure of the last attempt.

She would have to call his mother's attention to it. She needs to know what rascal her son had turned into. He is not willing to give her a grandchild.

Next morning, Lu Jingli had breakfast and was a little cheerful that morning. He gave Tiana a peck on her chin before leaving for work.

He seemed to be a different Lu Jingli from the one who yelled at her last night. She has never heard that a man runs away from sex with his wife especially when they want to make babies except Lu Jingli.

She had made up her mind to go to see Cherry Lu and report her son to her. If he doesn't change, she would then take the matter to her own mother.

Her mother has been worried sick about why Tiana can't hasn't been pregnant for the past four years. And when the second IVF failed, she almost became sick about it.

Tiana Mo got dressed up and took her car keys. She drove herself to her mother-in-law's place and was glad she met her at home.

She was welcome and her mother in-law asked her how she's doing. How's My Jingli doing as well? Nitvliie they don't communicate on the phone but they seldom see each other so frequently.

Tiana said everything was fine except that she's had sleepless nights because of Lu Jingli's behavior recently. He doesn't have sex with her anymore.

Cherry squinted and asked Tiana what happened? She trusts that her son doesn't have interest in having a Mistress. So why is he not willing to get intimate with Tiana?

She looked forward to carrying her grandchild. But how is that going to be possible if he doesn't get intimate with her? What kind of a son was Lu Jingli becoming?

She assured Tiana she would have a word with her son and she should make herself ready for him that night. He would definitely be taking her.

Tiana Mo smiled. As expected of her mother in law. She knows how to touch Lu Jingli in the place where he couldn't resist her instructions.

She thanked her and went home. She can't wait for her husband to return home and meet her waiting for him. She hoped this would work this time.

As soon as Tiana Mo left, Cherry Lu called her son and asked that they have dinner together that afternoon. She would be waiting for him at a certain restaurant whose address she would be sending to her.

Theresa Mo got ready and soon Rosa returned from the office. They both head to an agency where Lanre was waiting for them.

When they arrived, he told them he had seen the house and was waiting for Theresa to see it as well.

He initially didn't see the lady that came with Theresa or better still he was concentrating on his friend that he didn't notice she's with.

Theresa Mo saw it and said she likes it. It's a portable complex enough for her and her kids. She paid for it and then signed the papers to the house.

I'd like you to meet my friend, the one I told you about Theresa Mo introduced and she did the same for Lanre.

That was when Lanre saw Rosa. He shook hands with her and said his Lanre and Rosa also called her name to him.

Theresa Mo smiled and liked the way they both acknowledged each other. Lanre asked that they go for lunch together and the ladies got into their car.

Lanre and his friends were in that restaurant when Cherry Lu arrived. She didn't see Theresa Mo initially but after hearing a few people's conversation nearby, she turned her head and looked at them.

She was shocked when she saw that the cheerful one among the three was Theresa Mo. Where has she been all these years?

After finding out that she was set up and that she and her son were part of the conspiracy, she hadn't seen her since then.

Cherry Lu became uncomfortable when she saw Theresa Mo. Her guilt was eating her up and she wanted to stand up but Just then her son arrived and took his seat opposite hers.

She tapped her Son and looked in the direction where Theresa Mo was seated with her friends.

Lu Jingli's eyes followed the direction where his mother was asking him to look:

Chapter 10; Saw Theresa Again.

Lu Jingli was shocked and his hands shivered. This is his ex-wife Theresa Mo. She looked happy with her friends. She was fishing her meal into her mouth with the chopsticks so that she didn't notice that some people were staring at her.

The waiter came and took Lu Jingli's order and his mother. But the latter became muddle headed after seeing Theresa Mo.

He had tried finding her and locating her for many months until he finally gave up. He concluded she had done something to herself or left the country.

But where was she going to get the money to take a flight out of the country. She was left without a penny and not allowed to take a needle out of the house.

But seeing her now, she looked gorgeous and beautiful and more mature. She looked elegant and Lu Jingli wondered how she had lived for the past four years.

He hadn't stopped regretting his actions and vile behavior to her a few years ago. He later realized that he loved her and not Tiana.

He had grown to love her but when he realized his feelings for her, it was too late. She had gone and he couldn't find her to apologies.

Lu Jingli, don't be muddle headed Cherry Lu called her son's attention to herself. He doesn't seem to take his eyes off her again.

He turned to look at his mother and the waiter brought their orders. He didn't know when he started looking at Theresa Mo again and his chopsticks ended up picking dishes from the table rather than from his plates.

Cherry Lu became embarrassed. She pinched his hand and the latter came back to his senses. He took the chopsticks towards his mouth when his mother pulled his hands down.

He looked and saw that he was taking empty chopsticks to his mouth. He felt embarrassed and decided to concentrate on his lunch.

Theresa Mo was almost done with her meal but she was observing the chemistry that is ensuing between Lanre and Rosa.

Lanre was showing interest in Rosa but the latter was pretending not to notice. She would be happy if things can work out between these two friends of hers.

Soon the meal was over and Lanre went over to pay. Theresa Mo said she wants to buy a car and Rosa agreed with her. She needs a car to conveniently move around with her kids.

When they stood up, Theresa Mo's eyes locked with Lu Jingli and she flippantly turned her eyes away. She doesn't know anyone in her past anymore, especially those who destroy her happiness.

Hi Theresa Lu Jingli didn't know when he called her. Theresa Mo glared at him and squinted. Her friends also paused and looked at the fellow who knows Theresa.

Hi. You are who? Theresa Mo pretended not to recognize him. Lu Jingli became more embarrassed the more. She even pretends not to know him?

Your ex-husband Lu Jingli the latter also sheepishly answered. Lanre and Rosa exchange glances with each other. So this is the animal who conspired against others to ruin his wife and then throw her off like a filth.

My ex-husband? She turned and looked at Rosa. I had a husband before that became an ex? She asked and everyone would have thought she was suffering from amnesia.

Other customers in the restaurant seemed interested in her words and waited to hear her friend's reply.

"You mean the idiot who conspired with others to set his wife up and divorce her simply because his dwelling place is the hole between the thighs of his sister in law.

Was that what you wanted to ask me?" Rosa replied and looked at the fellow seated with a sneer. He doesn't deserve to be called a husband.

Oh! Yeah that's the perfect way to describe the fool who sits with his senseless mother to have lunch. Well seeing you again ex-husband Theresa Mo gave a wicked grin and then walked away with her friends.

Other people in the company understood what happened. Lu Jingli was the idiot the two friends were talking about. Different comments started coming into his ears.

Terrible man as a husband and unfilia man He sleeps with his sister in-law and divorce his wife this must be his sugar Mummy some men can put their dicks in anything that has hole between its legs...

Cherry Lu couldn't control the anger boiling in her. She stood up and said she was leaving. Lu Jingli also followed suit and quickly paid their bills and left.

They are going to fuck each other in the nearest hotel shameless woman in her old age sleeping with her Son's age mate does an old woman makes you comfortable than your sister in-law? The last bits of comment entered into their ears and they hurried their steps out.

Lu Jingli got into his car and his mother entered as well. It's all your fault. Why didn't you just pretend that you don't know Theresa MO? Cherry Lu quarreled.

How was it my fault when you called me and asked me to meet you here? It was who wanted to see me and I came. What's wrong in saying hi to an ex-wife? Lu Jingli retorted back.

He's feeling upset already. He doesn't want his mother to add more salt to his injury. He hissed and asked her why she invited him.

Your wife Tiana needs you now. This is the time when both of you can make babies and this issue of children would be settled once and for all... Cherry Lu was coaxing her when he interrupted her badly.

Did she come to report me to you? Twice we've gone for IVF and you know about it all. I can't keep wasting my manly strength on a woman who cannot get pregnant despite exhibiting my masculine prowess, Lu Jingli complained.

It's not her fault. She wants to be pregnant too. Take pity on her and fulfil your part. Hopefully one of these days, she would take in Cherry Lu encouraged him.

If he was still with Theresa Mo, perhaps they would have gotten two kids already. But he blew away the opportunity of being with an intelligent woman and went to be married to Tiana.

It was all his mother's fault. She had pushed him this far and now, he doesn't know where he is going anymore. He is just paddling along wherever the storms lead him.

I'll try my best again mum, and that's because you want me to produce a grandchild for you Lu Jingli assured her.

Cherry Lu smiled. She knew he would listen to her as always. He should do it however Tiana wants it so that her friend and she would both share a grandchild to strengthen their bond of friendship.

But one more thing, don't let her know about Theresa Mo

Chapter 11: Thinking of Theresa

Lu Jingli didn't answer his mother in another word. He started the ignition and zoomed off. He dropped his mother off before returning to the company.

All those comments about him and his mother a while ago resurfaced in his memory. It was all Tiana's fault.

If she hadn't gone to report him to his mother, he wouldn't have had to meet his mother for lunch in that restaurant and he wouldn't have seen Theresa Mo as well.

He can't stop thinking about Theresa Mo at the moment. That woman has become more beautiful and matured. She carried that special
