“Few seconds ago you looked like you had seen a ghost, we both called your name and you did not respond, I had to shake you for you to come out of whatever trance you were in”. Rosie informs me worriedly.

“Nothing of that sort, I just remembered something”. She looks at me quizzically.

“Whatever you remembered must be something unpleasant then”. She brings her head towards me.

“what is really going on?” She whispers to me in a bid to make whatever she is saying not heard by others.

“Nothing ”. I plaster a fake smile, my hands are shaking slightly but they are not too obvious to someone not looking.

“Let's just eat our food guys, enough with the questions”. This is my attempt to steer them from my apparent fear.

We begin to eat again but the thing is the fear has stolen my appetite. I have to pretend and force the food down my throat, my prayer right now is to not let too much slip because their eyes are still on me, watching me like hawks.

He was so excited. I've felt those small jabs for a while now but I kept it from him.The first time I felt the movement I was in bed, I never expected it, it was so small but it happened.

    Gregory's POVDays ago Denise called me, she was frantic, she told me a package was delivered to our home. The content of the package was a dead rat, the blood of the rat still fresh. Alongside the package was a note stating that whoever sent it always wins.My first thought was it could be that guy that she owed money but she was certain it wasn't him, she said she paid him off. As she told me the ordeal I could tell she was at the verge of tears, my wife was scared and I wasn't there to comfort her. Since she told me it wasn't that guy she owed money, it was clear to me that the people destroying my business are responsible for this. They've grown some balls to send threats directly to my home. Oh! and they did it at the perfect time. They were aware I wasn't home and they decided to send it to my wife. I've asked that she be moved to my other house in the city, and the security be doubled.

    “Ma'am dinner is served”. Carolina tells me later in the evening.“Thank you”. I responded to her.I wanted to ask about Gregory but I stopped myself from doing so. It's better to stay off him for now. The house is silent, I know it is usually silent but it feels different, it's colder, even though it's almost winter, there's this coldness my body cannot shake off.His dark gaze watches me as my legs transcends down the stairs. There is no telling if he's angry or not from the point he is at. I avert my eyes from him and walk to the dining area. The plate has been set, Carolina chose to set my plate close to him, precisely on the left side of the head of the table. It is too late for me to tell her to change my position. Gregory comes over to the dinning. My eyes are pinned on the plate before. I cannot bear to look at him, to look at those eyes that have lost their warmth.

    “For someone who declined my offer some weeks back to get a crib, you sure are eager to get one now”. Rosie scowls at me.“I'm sorry for dragging you out Ro, I didn't want to have to go with Gregory”. I replied to her.“And why's that?. You seemed a little bit excited the last time, now all of a sudden you want me to get it with you?”.“Yeah…., About that, Gregory is acting a bit weird”.“Tell me something I don't already know”, she raises a brow at me.This is her tactic of asking me what's up. “Erhem” I attempt to clear my throat.“Spill!” Her eyes grow in interest.As we walk down the street, I recount everything to her not leaving one single detail. There were times we would stop due to her shock and her eyes were as wide as saucers. Times were she would swear to kill Gregory. In all of it Oliver would be behind us uninterested in whatever we were discussing. “Bizzzzzzzz”.... My phone buzzes in my purse. “Hello”...

He holds the door open for me to enter but I hesitate because I want to see Rosie in a taxi first before I leave. “Bye mama bear”, she yells from inside the yellow taxi. “Text me when you get home”.

    Gregory brows are scrunched in concentration, he has been able to fix ninety percent of the crib, just a few parts are left. No matter how much he scares me I can't help but admire his features. His dark hair is dishevelled, soft pink lips parted, grey eyes focused on the task at hand. His muscles flex at intervals as he tries to put screws and objects in place.After his outburst neither of us have said anything. There has been no move from me to even breathe loudly. I fear that if I do so he will come for me.“It's all done”. He says rising on his feet and inspecting his work.“Is there anything else you would want to be fixed?”. He finally looks at me. I shake my head.“Words Denise”. He states“No”. My voice is small. He nods his head. “Ouch….” “What is it?”. He is by my side in milliseconds. “The baby kicked”. I say. I've barely got the word out and there is another movement, this one is obvious, you can see the movement through my clothes. I see his eyes go wide. It's a g

Blood drained from my face and for a split second, my heart forgot to beat.“Patrick”“Why, Hello there sweet peas” his smile broad as a Cheshire cat.“Never thought we would meet in these circumstances, what can I say the Lord is good”. It's sickening, him mentioning the Lord. This brute knows nothing about the Lord.“Now, now, don't be sad, this will only last a few hours and we can be happy. We could even play hide and seek if you like”.He stalks closer to us, no me.“Get away from her you psycho” Luke screams. Patrick pays him no mind as he moves even closer. He raises his hand to graize my temple, I flinch in reaction. “Get your hands away from me”. He laughs heartily at my reaction.“And why would I do that, huh, sweet peas”.“I owe you nothing, I paid all of my debts with interest. So. Get. Your. Hands. Off. Of. Me”.

    “Dee…” Rosie badges into my room. Luke called, he said he has something to show us. My eyes widen a fraction. “He has figured out something” I murmur. Rosie nods her head frantically at me. I waste no time picking up my bag as we dash out.“Carolina…, we will be back soon”. I hollered at Carolina who was cradling Ivy in her arms.“Ra tat tat” Rosie knocks on Luke's door. There is no answer at first but the second time the door swings open. Luke stands there with an awkward smile that doesn't reach his eyes. He looks kind of nervous. “Come in” he opens the door wider allowing us enter.“Luke are you…” the words are choked shut in my mouth as something hard hits my head. I hear Rosie scream before I black out. The pain at the back of my head is heavy. I try to raise my hand to rub the spot but I can't, my hands are bound.“Ah…” A wave of pain shoots through my head.

Sitting behind will keep me away from the prying eyes of Ellie. My eyes are on Ellie the moment she steps in. She's wearing a cream coloured A-cut short gown. She is wearing a black heeled boot to match. She looks good, I won't lie. She greets Peggy Ross. They exchanged pleasantries soon after the show starts.

In less than three months I would be gone from this life.My ears perk at the sound of my name. Rosie pokes her head into my room. “Denise” she calls me in a quiet manner. Her eyes stare directly at me as she walks in. “Denise, l knows you are mad at how Gregory reacted towards our suggestion. She sits down on the bed getting comfy. “And just because he says it doesn't mean we are going to stop. You have my full support to pursue this to the very end”. She stretches her hand placing it tenderly on my arms. I wrap my hands around her instantly. Having a friend like Rosie who supports you is a big blessing. “What are we going to do?. We don't have the necessary information to help out”. I detach myself from our hug. “I was banking on our alliance with the guys to get info”.

We are asleep when they return and we don't get the needed information. Tonight is going to be different though. Tonight we are not sleeping a wink till they return home and tell us all we need to know. “Dee, I'm not sure I can stay up any longer, my eyes are closing on their own”. Rosie yawns. Her eyes shutting down completely as she yawns. “Common Ro, we need to stay awake if we want to know what's going on.”. Rosie nods her head at me with her eyes still shut. When I look at the clock for the fifth time this night, it shows it's just eleven forty five. I sigh in annoyance knowing any moment from now I'll be falling asleep. I need to stimulate myself in order to stay awake, not just me but Rosie as well.

Men that have access to such heavy weaponry. Then again he is a billionaire, money can buy alot of things..Rosie and I step into the balcony were Gregory and Isaiah are having a

Gregory rubs my arms affectionately. “It's just a nightmare you are safe”. I nod my head and he wraps his strong arm around me holding me in a warm embrace. “I made a warm bath for you. Figured you'd be waking up soon”. He kisses me on the forehead, breaking our embrace. “Ivy”. I say. “She's fine she's downstairs with Rosie and Carolina”.
