For the first time

How dare he say she needs the advice the most when he was the one who hurt her and rejected the baby?

How can he refer to himself as Bella’s father after ordering her to have an abortion back then. If she had gone ahead, she would have flushed Bella away.

Now, he brought his face before her and said he is Bella’s father? She’s not afraid of him anymore. What she wants is her daughter and nothing else.

“Amanda, I know that you are hurt. I also know that I made you hurt. But please, I’m begging you let’s talk about our daughter please” Chase pleaded.

“Yes, Miss Amanda. Just give him a chance and talk to him. This mother is pleading with you as a mother, listen to Chase” Rosalinda coaxed.

“I don’t have anything to talk to him about. You wanted me to have an abortion back then. You paid for it and told me not to come before you again. And I didn’t, I never came to find you ever again.

And today you call yourself my daughter’s father? How is that possible? What is the connection? How can you claim to be the father of a child you didn’t give birth to?” Amanda Smith demanded.

The matron stepped out and went to call the police. Chase Hudson will not bring Bella back if she doesn’t act fast.

First thing first. Bring Bella back to the orphanage. She would hand her over to her mother and then they could put up a fight on who should have custody of the girl.

At that stage, it is solely their fight. The reputation that the management has built over the years will not be jeopardised. And not while she’s the matron of the orphanage.

“But you didn’t have the abortion. You didn’t let me know a thing about her either. And now that I’ve known, should I pretend that she’s not my daughter and just give her to you? Just like that?” Chase requested.

“Yes, that’s what you should do, that is what is expected of an irresponsible man like you” Amanda snapped at him and glanced back to where the matron stood earlier.

“Why am I even exchanging words with you? I should request for my daughter from the management of this orphanage and not from you” Amanda reprimanded herself.

That way she stormed out of the orphanage. Chase Hudson and Rosalinda also stepped out. The chauffeur hadn’t returned with the car. He called the company’s chauffeur and he soon arrived.

“Amanda Smith has the right to her daughter. You shouldn’t force Bella away from her” Rosalinda declared.

This is one of Chase’s past, coming back to haunt him. The ugly past will always pop its head out at the time you least expected it to do so.

Just exactly as he did to her, he’d done it to someone else. Why won’t he take responsibility for his actions? Why won’t he accept his unborn babies and let them have the right to live?

Not every woman can forgive him easily like she did. It’s just unfair to treat women that way. He’s a rich dude and could do whatever he likes.

Why wouldn’t he just control himself when he is out of condom? When he gets intimate with women, he gets up, cleans himself and gets away. Few weeks later, when the result of his seed planting starts germinating, he orders the woman to go for an abortion.

“I know. I only want to coax her. If she insists, then she’ll have her. It’s alright that I know about my daughter”Chase replied.

He could guess what was going on in Rosalinda’s heart. She thought horrible of him again. But he wishes he hadn’t lived his life so reckless as he did in the past.

He lived his life as if he owned the world. He could make love to any woman and then walk away, not interested in taking up the responsibility for his actions.

He was so irresponsible. Amanda was right to call him an irresponsible man. That adjective rightly befits him. His irresponsible act in the past now turned around to glare at him in the face and there’s nothing he can do about it.

When Rosalinda heard Chase’s response, she went emotional. Chase is helpless. She promised herself not to say or do anything that will make him feel more terrible.

They were quiet when suddenly, Chase’s phone chirped. It’s a call from the mansion. He glanced at Rosalinda and said “a call from home” and then answered the phone.

Chase furrowed his brow, his facial expression went cold and he said “We’re close, just ask them to hold on”

When he hung up, he sighed softly and glanced at Rosalinda “I’ll let Amanda have her. She’ll eventually come back to me if she’s destined to” Chase blurted.

Rosalinda’s eyes went moist. She gripped Chase by his bicep and said “We’ll be having our baby soon. I might be pregnant” she declared.

What? Chase went still for a few seconds before turning to glanced at her, his eyes filled with unspoken questions:

“I was going to tell you that I tested positive for pregnancy this morning. We’ve been given another chance to be parents again…”Rosalinda explained.

Chase’s unhappy mood gradually took a twist as his lips parted revealing a beautiful charming smile. He pulled her closer to himself and hugged her. This is the first time the news of a pregnancy excites him. He will forever cherish his woman and dotes on his kids for the rest of his life.

“Thank you Rosalinda for this great news. You’ve made my day” Chase chimed. He kissed her temple and held her palm, smiling broadly.

“Congratulations ma’am” the chauffeur said. The news of pregnancy makes men excited, especially the first pregnancy that comes after getting married.

“Thanks Clement. I owe you a present. You are the first person to congratulates this future dad” Chase promised This news drastically changed Chase’s mood. Now he was eager to get home and tell Amanda to have Bella. He won’t try to hold back. She has the right to be with her daughter too.

As the chauffeur drove into the vast compound that houses Chase Hudson’s mansion. Amanda Smith was standing with her hands folded across her chest.

A man was standing next to her, dressed like an attorney. The matron from the orphanage was also there with a few police men.

Rosalinda was surprised. She glared at Chase and wanted to ask him if he knew about these people waiting in their Mansion when he said “I knew they were here, waiting”
