For the first time in her adolescence, Heiress Angela wept. Her tears had not subsided when she reached Dr. Laila's hospital.
She was personally outside at the gate to welcome her.
She took her hand and both of them linked arms and walked into her office.
"Listen, Heiress. I am your mom, I hope?" she said.
She nodded, still drawing in her runny nose.
"I don't support you terminating the pregnancy. You are not the only single mom if he goes," said Dr. Laila. She furthered," But you have to show me this guy. He has taken us for a ride. Heiress, get up! Get up!"
She took her arm and hugged her. "Nene Harrison." She smiled at her inexperience.
Now, at the castle, Michael's number was unavailable.
They began to ransack his apartment.
"Did he come with luggage?" asked Dr. Laila, hoping to open the wardrobe she fixed her eyes on.
"No. He bought everything here "
" Just imagine. Where is the key?" Impatiently, she opened it. "Oh! It is open." She opened other compartments below.
He did not go with anything. As they looked into the wardrobe." Just give me today and tomorrow," said Dr.Laila, fuming.
"Don't leave me alone! This is the worst moment…" Heiress Angela told Dr. Laila, drawing air into her nostrils, badly hit.
She had endured everything but this. The butler must give an account of this."
"Heiress. Leave the poor man, please." pleaded Dr. Laila.
She drove her away.
She opened her laptop, her lawyer and the CEO of Belfast Shippingyard were in the video conference when she ordered the suspension of work on the cruiser.
The financial director and director of works were in attendance too.
Dr. Laila, this morning has to interview a resident doctor because she will not be having time. Her efforts will be to stay close to her till she gives birth. She will equally employ a talk therapist. This is not an ordinary woman with pregnancy. This is Heiress Angela, the sole heiress of the world Harrison Manuel. All the people that matter ought to be involved but she does not want publicity.
Even her father is not aware yet.
"But I have to tell Harrison." Dr. Laila said. She went up as they came back to the castle.
"Laila!" Harrison got up.
"Don't hug me, Harrison". She fenced him."I came with good news."
"Laila. Can't you hug, first? "
" I called you last month you did not pick…sit down, Harrison."
They both sat.
"Nene is pregnant with a male child."
"Which Nene?"
"How many do you have, Harrison? Nene Manuel."
Harrison sat up." Did you confirm? "
Dr. Laila smiled." I hope you love it?"
"By whom? Michael?"
"I didn't see the guy. They said he had run away."
"Run away? To where? Why?"
"Are you happy with the Heir? It calls for celebration."
"Is Nene Okay with the condition?" asked Harrison Manuel.
"She has to. I will handle everything. I have employed a resident doctor and a talk therapist. Are you flying out again?" she asked Harrison Manuel.
"I am staying tonight," said Harrison Manuel and told her not to be annoyed.
" I was busy. " Harrison hugged her and they got into a deep kiss until she broke free. "I am staying tonight," said Dr Laila.
Her daughter Babara called from the United States.
"Mummy, what is happening at home? Is Heiress Angela getting married? Was she acquiring a cruiser?"
" Yes. You were supposed to be among the groom girls but the guy responsible for her pregnancy absconded. I am with her right now. "
Barbara was like she was not understanding her mom.
"Mom. I don't …I don't understand. Read the Irish Sun now and all over Northern Ireland, the news of the suspension of work on a new model Titanic by Heiress Angela Manuel, a billionaire. Even here in the United States, the same ."
Heiress Angela called Liam McCormick the CEO of Belfast Shippingyard.
"Why did your company not deem it a secret? The pending work on the cruiser?" asked Heiress Angela.
Listen to Liam McCormick: Our country is a small country. A retrenchment that affected over a thousand workforce is a national calamity. And on our website, the suspension of work on the cruiser and the reason for the suspension are there. And there is freedom of information. So, we on our own cannot stop the press from visiting our website.
"Nene. You must stop this! " screamed Dr. Laila. You must be grateful your Dad is happy. Any more cries, I will not be happy." About to go to Harrison Manuel, she asked. " Why are you dying to marry this guy?"
"Mom. Him or none."
"Hehehe!" Dr. Laila clapped and laughed together."Hope there is an underlying reason. Well, Pray. Nothing is impossible with God."
"I do, mom"
Dr. Laila, lying down on her face with her back completely naked, told Harrison to massage her through.
"I feel the fingers again, striking the cord." She asked " Harrison can't we marry? I am going to be here till Nene gives birth."
"If you are serious then we are starting now."
" Not now. Go and see my mom," she told him.
She was the lady who would have married Harrison Manuel then before Lady Franca took her position.
"When are we going," asked Harrison Manuel," and the wedding?"
"Our daughter is the one to wed. And with the situation on the ground, we don't need that stuff."
Dr. Laila and Magdalene drove out to shop for baby things.
Billionaires do not fear receiving visitors. Why should they? They have money in abundance and do not fear spending it.
Billionaires are the most refined people on the planet earth. They hardly get angry with someone in public.
When Heiress Angela heard she has pressmen from the Irish SUN, " she said, "Allow."
Two, a male and a female from the press Irish Sun, Northern Ireland were ushered into the castle.
They came to interview the billionaire girl they heard came from Johannesburg.
Conor: What led to the suspension of the building of the modern Titanic?
Heiress Angela: There was an issue…yes issue in what led to the construction
Maeve: You sank a hundred billion dollars already. Do we expect a fast resolution?"
Heiress Angela: It will just be by grace.
Maeve: We heard your fiance is now in the United States via the American Lottery.
Heiress Angela:For the first time I am hearing it….I'm done.Sirs."
Heiress Angela collapsed as the press people left.
Dr. Laila and Magdalene came back from
the shopping and found her in a state of comatose
What did she hear?
Would the situation be bearable?
