A Night On His Bed

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 18

{Differences and changes}

Campbell’s pov

Mummy’s reactions towards daddy was not welcoming, why would she call him a bastard.

I sat on my bed reluctantly when an idea niggled at me.

I slowly walked out of my room and stayed behind a wall that led to the stairs.

I need to know what they are talking about, and I did know, I heard every single word I can see why my mom hates me and he is not even guilty.

His words are too harsh and that’s not the kind of father I want.

And so I climbed down the stairs and said my mind.

Vanessa pov

“Faith!!!” Thomas called out.

Why is this happening so fast.

The face I least expected suddenly showed up.

“What are you doing here?” I asked perplexed by the whole issue.

“Vanessa? Thomas? I can’t believe this, so you have been cheating on me with this slut?” Faith asked irritating me.

“Hey please watch your language you are in my house and you have no right to say that, not at all.” I shunned her instantly.

“I see, you want to have everything have worked for? Vanessa just know this is a bitter reunion because I won’t let you be.” She replied and left angrily.

I turned to Thomas who was already soaked in sweat.

“Will you leave my house now or should I call the police, you this shameless man.” I yelled at him.

“I will leave, am leaving already!” He said and stared at Campbell before he left.

“Come here.” I said to Campbell and hugged him tight.

“Am sorry Mommy, I promise to protect you against him.” Campbell said assuredly.

“I love you baby, mommy is sorry.” I pleaded hugging him tight.

The next day

I sat upright on my bed yawning, I looked at my right side of the bed and I could see Campbell sleeping beautifully.

I know Thomas won’t stop and now that Faith knows things are going to get really hot.

I need to protect Campbell and come to think of it, mom said she recorded everything Thomas said last night.

Yes, that’s it I will use that against him no matter how powerful he is he won’t be escaping this.

With that thought I walked to my mom’s room who just finished bathing.

“Morning Mom.” I greeted and she embraced me with an affectionate hug.

“Morning, how was your night rest?” She asked caressing my face.

“It wasn’t ok, Thomas and Faith are all I could think of, my heart is not at rest.” I responded.

“I guess you are here for the recording I talked about last night.” She said and sat me on her bed.

“Yes mom, I need that to fight against him in court.” I responded.

“Vanessa, I know how you feel but can’t you just let it go? I have a secret which have been hiding from you.” She said getting me curious.

“What is that?”

“I have cancer and the doctor said I only have months left.” She stated.

“You have cancer? And you never said anything?” I questioned her.

“Yes and am sorry for not telling you, it’s also what made me do what I did, I kidnapped your son.”

“What?!” I exclaimed.

She kidnapped Campbell? Why?

“Yes Vanessa I did, and it’s to protect you, I purposely did it so that Thomas and Campbell would meet with the aim to bring you back to your past and embrace it, I thought if you could meet with Thomas again he would apologise for his deeds and you will abandon this hatred in you.” She said, her words left me In awe as she continues.

“Vanessa, I know I was wrong but that was the only thing I could think of as a mother, I just want to help you get over everything and live a normal life, Campbell said he doesn’t want him in his life and I know that’s clearly heard and accepted last night, enjoy the rest of your future with a man who truly loves you.”

“But, you should have told me everything before now.” I said weeping.

“Am sorry, please forgive me.” She pleaded.

“Did you also purposely set me up on a blind date with Joe?” I asked and she scoffed.

“No, I never knew he was your childhood friend till recently, I just did it because of my friends persistent request, seems there’s more to you and Joe, more like fate.” She replied and I smiled.

Her last words “fate” what does it really entail.

Thomas pov

A week later

It’s been a week now, Faith’s attitude has drastically changed towards me.

And am still obstinate about getting my boy back, I don’t care what it takes.

I need to take things slowly and truthfully am surprised Vanessa pushed this far.

I remain in my car looking at Vanessa’s front gate with a determined mind.

It has to be today, we need to talk things out and settle this, those were my thought at least.

I heard a hoot from a car which stopped at her front gate.

Vanessa dropped from the car with a man who’s posture seems familiar, he pecked her cheek which got me furious.

He kissed my baby’s mama?

I dropped down from my car and walked towards them, I held him by his collar and turned him to me.

Surprisingly it was a face I knew

.

It was Joe.

“Joe?” I asked.

“Thomas, what are you doing here?” He asked shivering.

This is getting confusing, what would Joe be doing with Vanessa.

Does she know that he has a hand in how she was raped.

“Thomas, what do you want again? why won’t you leave me be?” Vanessa asked as every attention was on us.

“Am sorry about that but I can’t see my baby mama with my accomplice.” I said trying to cause some doubts between them.

“Accomplice?” She asked.

“Yes, didn’t he tell you, he knows that you would be raped by me.” I said and Vanessa looks at him spitefully, I don’t know what’s going on with them but whatever it is I can’t stand them being together!
