Francis' hands on the steering wheel tightened as he stared at Joe through the mirror; the little boy was staring innocently at his mum and through Hillary’s expression, he figured out the woman must be Camelia.He turned his attention back to the road while Hillary remained fidgeted on her seat. She cleared her throat lightly, wishing she could shut Joe's mouth. She never expected him to say that despite knowing how blunt he could be for his age. “It's just a friend,” she stammered, unable to look into the eyes of Francis. “Get some rest, Joe,” she patted his head, “Remember the ice cream I promised you.”This brought a smile to his face and he nodded happily, taking the posture of sleeping. Not long after, his light snores could be heard and only then did Hillary address the issue.“I saw Camelia in the plane,” she started, trying to be as nonchalant as she could. “Funny how we sat beside each other,” she chuckled half heartedly.“She looked different,” Hillary stopped to see Franc

Camelia removed the pair of shades from the eyes and peered closely at the couple displaying their public affection. It was indeed Hillary, she remembered the blue floral dress clearly. But who was the man and why was he not Francis? She wondered, her attention still on them as she cleared her luggage with the security.“Dad!” A tiny voice cried out, causing people to turn their attention to them again.Camelia turned and saw the little boy she had noticed seated beside Hillary on the plane. ‘So Hillary had a child for another?’“Oh my!” She gasped, her hand flying to her mouth that was wide open and she turned back s“Is something wrong, mum?” Angel asked her innocently, her cheeks puffed up as she blinked her eyes in anticipation.A deep breath escaped from Camelia and she patted her daughter’s head, her worries suddenly disappearing. “I'm fine, darling. Let's just get our bags.” She moved over to their luggage but was stopped abruptly by a deep voice behind her.“Let me get that.

Francis Noah! The name popped boldly in the notification.Camelia's heart thumped aloud and she continued to stare in horror at the laptop, having no intention of clicking the mail. Her body stiffened as she felt a strong surge of her emotions rushing in. How was it that her coming back seemed to have traces of him everywhere? First, she had a dream and now, she received a mail from him.What in the world had he even sent to her, she wondered, looking at the notification in curiosity, her heart skipping a beat as she moved her fingers to click on it.How did he know she was back, the last she checked, she had intentionally filtered out her former hospital from the list of applications she had sent.Unless he…She clicked on open stiffly, but heard a small sound beside her as she wanted to read through.Camelia turned to see her daughter stirring awake beside her. She quickly snapped the laptop shut, forced a smile on her face and returned her attention to the little girl.It was for

The words of the cop echoed into her ears and she kept hearing his statement repeatedly in her head.‘Was this truly the end of her? Had Francis truly left her here to rot.’ This was the question she asked herself over and over as she stared at the mind in silence.She knew she had been framed, even the woman had come to thank her after the treatment. So, where had it all gone wrong?A part of her told her the man was right, after all, he had outrightly thrown divorce papers at her when he had been caught cheating.“My husband will come to bail me,” she stated again, her gaze unyielding and determined. The cop chuckled, he shrugged and walked out of the cell, leaving Camelia alone in the dark, chilly cell.Her knees trembled and gave way when she was left alone. She wrapped her arms around her frail body in the cold, mentally exhausted from crying and all she could do was wait.‘Would Francis come to save her?’‘‘Ah!’’ She shrieked in pain, feeling a sharp cut in her stomach. She fea

“I don’t understand you,” Camelia said under her breath, shaking her head dramatically.She was confused, and at the brink of going crazy; that was if she hadn’t already gone crazy.She believed deeply that any more drama or silly plot twists and she would be sent to an abyss of mental breakdown.“You should, considering you gave the diagnosis and prescriptions for the drugs that made one of your patient’s illnesses worse. Don’t play the good cop, that ship sailed. We would appreciate you not speaking anymore Mrs Noah,” the cop said as Raphael cuffed her sleeve and pushed her into the ready car.Camelia laughed; she had spent most of her 20s studying to be a physician. And not only had she graduated summa cum Laude, but she had also gotten awards of recognition in under two years of her practising. This was impossible! She knew it but didn’t just understand where the sudden claim was coming from. “Call my husband! If we eventually figure out this was a mistake, you and all the rest

“I forgive you, Francis.” Camelia stared calmly at him as she spoke. He was just joking; he didn’t mean the divorce statement.She had decided that it was her fault he had decided to cheat since she couldn’t give him a child. But that was all in the past, a new life was growing in her.“I don't want this to come in between us,” she rose and moved towards him, her eyes filled with hope and a half-hearted smile. “I accept that you made a mistake with Hillary and it's fine. Let's now focus on…”“No, Camelia. I can’t do that.” Francis snatched his hands away from her and took some steps backwards. “I'm fed up with this marriage, I said I want out.” “No!” She cried, her voice shook with hysterics, and she could feel a splitting headache coming; her vision became blurred by tears whelming in her eyes. “You want out with what Francis?” She screamed when he ignored her question. Her hand was tightened in a fist beside her and her breathing became heavy.“I'm tired of living with a barren an
