Chapter 8 Pregnant and alone..

I was sitting on the ground, crying and holding the baby boots when Mr and Mrs Moreson knocked and came in ...they were surprised seeing my state.

Mrs Moreson helped me up ...my dear you need to to rest ...we sat together on the sofa and Mr Moreson just stood by the window...

I am pregnant and alone....I said crying more ...

you are not alone dear, we are here for you ...I know it's all confusing now but you will figure it out ..we will figure it out together she said rubbing my back.

We were all quite for some time, everyone with their thoughts..I suddenly started talking ..

After my mother died, I met George a year later...He was very friendly, interested in me and we shared alot in common....we spent all our free time together and by the time he proposed no one was surprised...but I didn't know ...I didn't know ...Oh God ...I covered my face with my hands ...

I was so excited when I found out I was pregnant, I mean it was two weeks to our wedding and we talked about it ..that we wanted kids immediately

look ..I showed them the baby boots..I ..I brought this to tell him about the pregnancy,...but ..but

He didn't want to it...

Mr Moreson said .... I don't understand why wouldn't he, you were already engaged...

Yes he didn't want it, I mean he...oh it's so complicated...all I know is that I am pregnant and alone ....this baby is all I have got...

I took a deep breath and continued ..I didn't tell him, I couldn't have ...and I could see the surprise on their faces ..

How do you know he doesn't want it when you didn't tell him...Mr Moreson asked puzzled

I looked at them..knowing they didn't understand, how could they when I was still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing...

I overheard a conversation between my fiancee and uncle...they didn't know I was there ...

it was all a plan, all a game, it was a fake engagement..I finally told them.

A fake engagement? Both of them said looking at each other ..more puzzled I am sure.

Yes, they wanted something from me...something I didn't even know I had ....

.....

When my father died, all his assets where taken away from us by his family or so I thought...we were driven out of the house we were living in and left with nothing ..

But I found out on that day that most of my fathers asset were not accessible because my name was on most of the documents ...so they were living in our house, had the company but couldn't own it and couldn't assess some accounts.

So my uncle came up with a plan, which involved George getting engaged to me, deceiving me and getting me to sign off those assets to my uncle with a certain percentage for him.

Those documents were supposed to be be added to the marriage documents, and the plan was to distract me so I will sign without reading them...

This was supposed to have been done, but I kept putting it off and I noticed he was getting impatient but I didn't put anything to it..

Hmm I signed, when I found out I was pregnant I immediately visited a baby shop to buy a baby boots to surprise George...on getting to his house I let myself in through the back door only to realize he had a guest.

And as I waited for the guest to leave in the kitchen I overheard what changed my life forever...what got me to where I am today, "pregnant and alone".

Of course they didn't know they had an audience, I came in through the back door, waited in the kitchen and heard my uncle shouting ...she has to sign those documents today ...they have to be signed today why are you taking so long to get her to sign them...

I am like what documents? what are they taking about...I suddenly realised it was the marriage documents and I wondered why it was so a big a deal that my uncle was shouting about it.

I mean we were getting married and I will definitely sign the marriage documents, I suddenly wanted to come out and tell my uncle I will sign them now....but what he said next shocked me so much that I stood rooted at the same spot for almost five minutes...stunned!

Those assets are mine, my brother should never had left them to her .....

😢...assets were given to me? when, how...what is my uncle taking about ...
