Angelina Was Impregnanted
Chapter 5: Angelina is Impregnated
"I've known him since last month," Angelina replied.
"Since last month, and you didn't tell me anything?" her mother said, surprised.
"I'm sorry, Ma."
"It's okay. When you see him, please extend my greetings. I would love to meet him."
"Don't worry, Ma. He'll come to visit us when the time is right," Angelina reassured her.

The following week, Mr. Jack won 200,000 Naira in a sports bet. He decided to send 50,000 Naira to Angelina's account and called her, asking her to share the money equally with her mother.
When Angelina saw the 50,000 Naira added to her account, she was overjoyed and called Mr. Jack to express her gratitude.
"Thank you so much, sir! I'll tell my mom when I get home," she said.
"Alright, no problem," Mr. Jack replied before hanging up.
Upon arriving home, Angelina told her mother about the money Mr. Jack had sent. Her mother, astonished, asked Angelina to call Mr. Jack so she could thank him personally.
Angelina's mother thanked Mr. Jack warmly over the phone.
The next day, Mr. Jack called Angelina, requesting her presence for an important discussion. Angelina arrived at his house.
"Good morning, sir," she greeted.
"Morning. How are you?" Mr. Jack asked.
"I'm fine, sir. Thank you for the shopping and the money you sent yesterday. May God bless you even more," Angelina responded.
"Amen," Mr. Jack replied.
"My mother asked me to greet you and mentioned she wishes to meet you," Angelina said as she settled in.
"Alright, no problem. I'll visit her this coming Saturday," Mr. Jack promised.
"Okay, sir. You mentioned you had something important to discuss with me," Angelina said.
"Yes, I wanted you to know more about me. I'm a contractor, I have one child named Samba, and my wife is no longer with us. I'd like you to be my new wife," Mr. Jack said, kneeling and pulling a ring from his pocket.
"Angelina, will you marry me?" he asked.
"Yes, my King," she replied happily, allowing him to slip the ring onto her finger.
"Wow! You called me King?" Mr. Jack asked, surprised.
"Yes, sir."
"Alright, my Queen," he said with a smile, and they laughed together.

One evening, Angelina was asked to cook at Mr. Jack's house. She prepared rice and beans for supper, serving Mr. Jack, herself, and Samba, who was only four years old at the time.
After supper, Mr. Jack asked Angelina to spend the night with him. She agreed and called her mother for consent. With her mother's approval, Angelina stayed the night.
As they lay in bed, they discussed their future.
The next morning, Angelina woke up to find Mr. Jack gone. She checked the time on her phone—it was 5:30 AM. She went to the sitting room and found a letter on the table.
The letter read:
"Hello, my one and only,
I didn't intend to disturb you while you were sleeping.
Don't worry about me. I was called by the CEO to report to work by 6:30 AM due to goods arriving from the north. I had to follow these instructions to avoid any issues.
Please take care of my daughter and prepare food for both of you. The school vehicle will arrive by 7:30 AM, so please ensure she eats before going to school. Have a wonderful day."
After reading the letter, Angelina went to the kitchen and followed his instructions.
Two months later, Angelina fell ill. Upon hearing about her sickness, Mr. Jack left the office at 5:30 PM to visit her at home.
He found her lying in bed, with her mother sitting beside her.
"Good evening, Ma," he greeted.
"Welcome," she responded.
Mr. Jack walked over to Angelina and touched her neck to check her temperature. Her body was hot.
"Have you eaten?" he asked.
"Yes," she replied.
"Don't mind her. She only ate two spoonfuls of the rice I prepared, and she says she's okay with it. I tried to feed her more, but she wouldn't eat," Angelina's mother said.
"Angelina, please try to eat so you can take your medicine and get better. What would you like to eat?" Mr. Jack asked.
"I'd like to eat Jollof rice," she answered.
"Alright, wait a minute. I'll be right back."
Mr. Jack went to a nearby shop where a woman was cooking Jollof rice for sale.
He bought the food, waited for it to be prepared, and then returned home with it.
He fed Angelina, who ate all the food and took her medicine.
The following day, Mr. Jack visited her again but found that her condition had not improved.
He suggested taking her to the hospital for treatment. Her mother agreed, and Angelina was taken to the hospital.
The next day, Angelina was discharged, and the doctor prescribed medication to help her recover.
The following week, while Angelina and her mother were watching a movie, Angelina suddenly rushed outside to vomit. Her mother followed her and became suspicious that she might be pregnant.
Her mother fetched some water for Angelina to wash her face, and they returned to the room to continue watching the movie.
While they were watching, her mother said, "Sorry, my daughter, but I think you should go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow."
"No need, I'm okay," Angelina replied.
"No, you're not. Tomorrow, you're going for a checkup."
"Okay, I heard you."
They continued watching the movie.
The next day, Angelina and her mother went to the hospital, where the doctor discovered she was pregnant.
"She is one month pregnant," the doctor said.
They went back home, and her mother called Mr. Jack to discuss the important news.
In the evening, after finishing his work, Mr. Jack drove to Angelina's house.
Upon arrival, he learned about Angelina's pregnancy and acknowledged his responsibility, promising to take care of her.
One day, Angelina's mother sent her to deliver some money to one of her friends.
On her way, Angelina saw her neighbor, Mrs. Hope, entering a hotel with an unknown man.
Angelina quickly took out her phone, hid, and captured a photo of them. She saved the picture and moved on, intending to take revenge for what Mrs. Hope had done to her mother two months earlier.
Later that evening, while Angelina was playing games on her phone outside the compound, she saw Mr. Hope returning from work. Mrs. Hope wasn't home yet, so Angelina greeted him as he went inside.
Angelina decided to report what she had seen to Mr. Hope. She made up her mind and went to his house.
She knocked on the door.
"Yes, who is it?" he asked.
"It's me, Angelina."
"Okay, come in."
"Sir, I came to show you something," Angelina said.
"What is it?"
Angelina showed him the picture on her phone. Mr. Hope was surprised and asked, "What? Is this my wife?"
"Yes, I saw her clearly," Angelina confirmed.
"Don't worry, I'll handle the situation. Thank you; send the picture to me."
Angelina sent the picture to him and left.
Mrs. Hope returned from her shop around nine and greeted her husband in the sitting room.
He confronted his wife.
"Where have you been?" he demanded.
Mrs. Hope was shocked by his question.
"I am coming from work," she answered.
He stood up angrily and said, "Which work, you liar! Do you think I'm a fool? You go out in the morning, sleep with another man, and then come home late at night saying you're tired."
