No I DON’T CHEAT ON YOU 😭
Episode 14
Semi final 🤔
The trial of my stepmother was really a tough one as her sons got one of the best lawyers for her and those she knew in the forces tried all they could to get her out of the net of the police but John’s connection was stronger.
After going to court for several days, she was finally sentenced to twenty-five years imprisonment with hard labor. Even after receiving her judgment, she came to where I was and said the battle still continues.
John told me to take her words with levity as there was nothing a jailed woman could do. I calmed myself with John’s words and decided to stop dwelling in the past to concentrate on my family.
Few weeks after the court hearing, I was preparing to go to bed when John told me we needed to talk.
‘Hope all is well?’ I asked instinctively
‘It’s about Jeddy, don’t you think he needs to meet his real family and we need to have our son back?’
‘Ohh John, I can’t bear to lose Jeddy. I nurse him from infancy and there is a strong bond between us. How do you expect us to cope? I can’t lose my son o’
‘Jane, you need to understand that his real parent has to be aware of the situation on the ground. We can’t continue to keep him with us when we already know the truth of the matter’
‘How do you now expect me to live without my Jeddy?’
‘Calm down dear, let’s just take it one step at a time. When we get to that bridge, we will cross it together. Meanwhile, I have made enquires and the Da Silva family is a powerful family. Fortunately, Mr. Kings, my business partner happen to be their acquaintance’ he further explained
‘So, what is the next step now?’ I asked sadly
‘I have spoken to Mr. Kings and he promised to book an appointment for me to see them, all I just need is to give him the date and time when I will be chanced’
‘And??’
‘I want us all to go, we would go with the evidence the Midwife gave us’
‘Choose a convenient date and inform me’
‘Alright, I will’
John chose a date which happens to be a Saturday. It was like I was going for a burial ceremony as I wore a gloomy face all through. Getting to Da Silva’s residence, I was awed by the beauty of their mansion.
We were ushered in by a man dressed in a suit was told to sit and wait for madam and her husband. After what seemed like an eternity, the couple came down to meet us with their son who was just the carbon copy of Jeremiah. Every one of us was stunned as the resemblance was just much. On the other hand, Jedidiah looks so much like the man.
‘Mommy, why did this boy looks so much like me?’ Da Silva’s son named Leonard asked his mother
