Chapter Fifty.

"I'll tell you why I hate you. I hate you because I struggled to get my daughter back after I lost her that day in the park but instead I find a slit. A prostitute. " she yelled.

"You are the one who has hurt me and not the other way around and don't pretend to care. We both know that all you care about is money. Who knows how many men you have slept with. All for money.

You are a disgrace to me and to your family. Then you have the nerve to reapear in our lives acting like the perfect daughter. You are nothing but a gold digger and now that your father and I are doing well, you think it's the perfect opportunity to come back and inherit our property. That is why I hate you" she screamed in Zawadi's face.

"I don't know where you got all these ideas but I am not like that. I may have grown up near a brothel but that doesn't make me a prostitute. You failed me as a mother. Both of you failed me as my parents.

I would never have needed up in that place If you two had been responsible parents.And you have no right to call me a gold digger because between the two of us, you are the one who is after money and power.

All I wanted was my parents back. I wanted to experience their love that I had been deprived of for all those years. What I didn't expect was for my parents to behave this way towards me.

I have given you countless chances but you have blown them all. I am only human and I am running out of patience with you. " she all but screamed.

"That's enough, Ian going to expose you to the whole world for the slut you are" she spat coldly.

Zawadi's eyes widened when she saw a few men walk in with cameras.

"W... who are they? " she stuttered out nervously.

"Why are you suddenly scared. They are the media. And they are here to expose you" Lisa smirked evilly.

"What? " she asked in horror.

"Hello everyone. So the woman here is a prostitute . She thrives on trapping rich men and robbing them of their hard earned money. She is a thief who cares about no one.

That's why is here to warn you all today, don't let this woman close to your sons, brothers and husbands. She cares only for the money and nothing else" Lisa said to the camera.

"Stop."Zawadi screamed as she tried to move away from the cameras.

"Why? Are you ashamed now that your truth is out? " Lisa laughed at her.

"Stop! Stop! " she chanted.

"Why should I. Everyone deserves to know the truth "Lisa said.

Zawadi screamed in pain as she held her stomach. She tried to get up from her chair but sat back down when she felt dizzy.

She saw a familiar face appear before her and whimpered.

"Help me. Lucas" she said weakly before her eyes closed and she blacked out.

Zawadi groaned as she opened her eyes, she shifted her gaze to Lucas who was sleeping beside her on the bed.

Slowly, she tangled her hands in his curls and tugged a bit.

"Lucas" she called, then smiled when he groaned and leaned into her touch.

"Lucas, " she called again and laughed when he shot up immediately, startled.

"You are awake Cupcake. I was so scared. You scared me " he hugged her to him.

"I am fine. Is the baby okay? " she asked nervously, her heart racing.

"The baby is fine. You really shouldn't have met with that witch. She doesn't deserve you. I think it would be better if you stayed away from her" Lucas said.

"I wish things were different. I genuinely want us to reconcile, you know. I want us to be a family" she said.

"I know baby. But all this is putting you and our baby in harms way and I can't let that happen. I would die if something happened to you " he covered his lips with hers in a desperate kiss.

She moaned and moved closer to him, tugging at his curls. He groaned as the kiss deepened. She gasped when he moved his hands slowly up and down her sides in a comforting manner.

They both broke apart when someone cleared their throat.

"Miss Mwamba, here is your medication. Please relax and do not stress yourself. Take a lot of rest and please, no more strenuous activities. Mr Steele please make sure she isn't stressed as it is not good for both her and the baby. You can take her home Mr Steele. Have a nice day " The doctor said and left.

"Let's go home" Lucas said helping Zawadi up.

"I should go shower, I feel disgusting "Zawadi said.

"I'll join you"Lucas said jumping up.

"No, the doctor said no strenuous activities "Zawadi said sternly.

"We are only going to shower. What a perverted mind you have" He said feigning disbelief.

"Oh don't act all innocent. I have had a lot of 'showers ' with you to know when you want it to be an actual shower and when you are thinking of other things " she said.

"Okay fine, but you don't have to lift a finger. I'll do all the work. That way you won't be doing any strenuous activity" he winked at her.

"Okay fine, you can join me" she said as she started stripping our of her clothes.

"Wait. I'll help you" he said stalking towards her.

She stood still, her eyes clouded with lust, mirroring his. She closed her eyes in exactly when he slowly peeled her clothes off of her, intentionally brushing her skin.

She ached her back into him, leaning into his touch. She sighed as she enjoyed the trail of heat that flowed with his touch.

She moaned when he ran his fingers gently over her tummy.

"Perfect " he said once all her clothes were gone.
