Every young man looks forward to being with the love of his life, getting married, have kids, watch them grow and live happily ever after so did Chris. He had been married to Stella for 10 years without a child. It bothered Stella more, as she would cry for days and go without food. Chris on the other hand was taking his meds so seriously as his was a case of low sperm count.
He felt Stella had suffered alot on his account and decided to send her on an all expense paid trip for a vacation which she obliged to.
She returned home after two weeks looking all brighter and happy even happier on reuniting with the love of her life spending sweet savory moments together. Three months later, while hanging out with his best friend Koffi, Chris got a text to meet up with his wife asap which he immediately responded to. He met the surprise of his life, a pregnancy result showing his wife was 3 months pregnant. He was so happy that he took perfect care of his wife, providing all she wanted and needed.
I'm so happy for Stella, you could finally have a child of your own-Betty said. Betty is her best friend and also married to Koffi. They had come to visit their friends and also to congratulate them as well.
Stella what is it?, Betty continued. You don't look happy.
Because the baby might not be my husband's. I met Frank on the vacation and one thing led to other, Stella said.
'What? Stella how could you cheat on your husband on husband with a crush, I thought you said you would never have anything to do with him because he was younger?
'He's all grown and handsome and we were drunk'
'Oh please, just pray your husband doesn't ask for a DNA test'.
It was a girl - Blessed..
She brought so much joy to the couple and peace to them .
3 years later, they had a boy, Adam. Stella showered so much love on Adam more than Blessed. Chris had observed this, because she was very harsh over matters concerning her of which he spoke to her about and she promised to change. That fateful day, Chris had come to bade his family goodbye as he couldn't wait to join them for breakfast because he was late and Stella was still busy in the kitchen. With no one guarding Adam, he went right after the dad who wasn't aware he was followed. On reversing his car, he ran the poor boy over who later died in the hospital after four days. Stella blamed her husband and called him a murderer. Her attitude completely changed towards her husband and daughter. It took her rejection from her daughter for her to realize she was apart from her family. While trying to work on fixing her family, Frank returned and began making demands over Blessed who he was sure was his fruit. Stella tried so hard to hide this from her husband and secretly had a DNA test carried out. The result was sent to their home through the hospital's courier service. Frank was the only one at home at the time so he got the result. He hadn't been to the hospital so he was surprised to see an envelope with the hospital's logo. He opened it up and discovered the DNA result. While going through it, Stella just returned home and immediately confronted her. Their conversation was so deep that they didn't notice Blessed going towards the pool side.
Chris couldn't take anymore of Stella's confession and decided to step out. Going towards the pool side, he observed Blessed had fallen into the pool. It was too late as she was already floating on the water.
All he wanted was a family but he had terrible adventure at fatherhood.
