I have cried a lot during the past few weeks, and all I hope for is that all the pains am feeling now is worth it, tears burned in my eyes as I remembered my dreams. the dreams I had hoped of been a high class doctor. all this dream has been destroyed. i told my self with confidence that corper bello will accept me and my unborn child. I placed my hands protecting my tommy, trying to close the ear of my baby from hearing the harsh words from his grandfather as my dad continued to rain insult on me . my anxiety lifts up a little as I remembered the sweet words that came out from his mouth as he made sweet love to me. he has worshipped my body with his hands and his month saying words that brought tears to my eyes,it has been the most exhilarating experience of my life. corper bello loves me he will defiantly accept me and the child, I told my self all we need to do now his find his house that we have been searching for the past three days. we discovered that is father is the famous sanator bello, my dad seemed to reduced his anger toward me
