SHE CHOSE HER BABY OVER HIS MONEY —10 YEARS LATER, SHE INHERITED HIS LEGACY
Mary Smith was her parents’ pride and joy. Raised with love and discipline in a modest two-room home, she was their only child—their hope for a brighter future. She graduated from college with honors, but despite her degree, jobs were scarce. After months of rejection, she became a waitress at a high-end restaurant in Abuja.
One evening, Sam Williams walked in—son of a wealthy tycoon, dripping in designer labels and arrogance. He noticed Mary and smirked.
“You’ve got a nice smile. Can I get your number?”
She hesitated… then gave in. He wooed her with compliments and expensive gifts.
“You’re different,” he said. “I think I’ve found the woman of my dreams.”
Mary believed him. He invited her to his mansion. That night, they were intimate.
“Sam,” she whispered, “do you love me?”
“You’re special,” he replied vaguely—then left.
It became a pattern. He’d visit, stay the night, leave money on the table, and disappear. Mary convinced herself it was love—until one day, dizzy and lightheaded, she went to a clinic.
“Congratulations,” the nurse smiled. “You’re pregnant.”
Mary was overjoyed. She imagined telling Sam, starting a family together. But when she showed him the clinic envelope, his face hardened.
“You’re pregnant? By whom?”
“By you, Sam. You’re the only one I’ve ever...”
His tone turned cold.
“No. This must be a joke.”
“Saving for a baby shower,” she whispered, hopeful.
He scoffed, pulled out a wad of cash, and threw it across the room.
“Take it.”
“You want me to—” she began, stunned.
“I never said I wanted kids. Or you,” he said, turning his back.
Mary crumbled. That night, she packed her things and returned to her parents. Her father, though heartbroken, stood by her.
The next day, he took Mary to Sam’s family home, hoping to appeal to their decency.
Sam’s elegant mother sneered. “My son? Impregnate her? Impossible.”
Sam stepped out, glanced at Mary, and said flatly, “I don’t know her.”
Mary felt her heart shatter.
Then Sam’s father stepped forward.
“If this child is truly his, bring him back after birth. We’ll do a DNA test.”
Mary left in silence—but with resolve. She would raise her baby. Not for Sam. For herself.
She faced judgment.
“She was supposed to be different.”
“She tried to trap a rich man and failed.”
“She deserves this.”
But Mary kept her chin up and moved forward.
Then, one quiet afternoon at work, Sam’s father walked in. He sat down, watched her, and finally spoke.
“I’ve been thinking about the day you came to our house,” he said. “I didn’t like how my wife or son treated you. Watching you work, the way you carry yourself… You remind me of someone I once loved—before money changed her.”
He paused.
“When the baby is born, we’ll do the test. But until then, I’ll send support—not out of pity, but because it’s the right thing to do.”
Mary’s eyes filled with tears. For the first time, someone saw her—not as a mistake… Watch: [in comment]
