They arrived at Serville at nine o'clock the following evening. Deborah had refused to let go of her father and the father was not complaining because he also held on to her as though his life depended on her.

Sharon herself slept most of the way, her head on Bryan's shoulders.She woke when the plane touched the runaway, embarrassed colour flushing her cheeks as she lifted her eyes and met Bryan's dark eyes.

'What time is it?' she asked as she smothered her hair, feeling hot and tired, needing something to say.

'Just after right', he said. He was watching her, his eyes unfathomable.

She turned away, looking through the tiny window and found that Deborah was sleeping peacefully on his laps.

Outside, it was very dark and she couldn't see a thing as the plane slowed.

'I must have been asleep since we left Valencia', still embarrassed that she had woken in his arms.

He must have felt very uncomfortable as she had slept resting her head on his shoulder and his daughter had slept on his th

    They went into the house. The house was superb and oozed of wealth.The floor was plain polished marble. The architecture was spacious and graceful. Upstairs, Concepcion there open a door and gestured them inside.' I hope you will be comfortable here. I will send Ana up with coffee. Dinner in two hours?'Sharon smiled gratefully, 'Thank you'.Their room was actually a flat within the house. There were two rooms, a large one and an adjourning one. They may have made the arrangement all last minute because of Deborah. Deborah was given the smaller room while the bigger one was left to them.At Sharon's thanks, Concepcion said, 'No, thank you, we are happy to have you here with us' she said graciously, her liquid dark eyes on Bryan, as she added teasingly, 'We were beginning to think that Bryan would never find the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. I have been dying to meet you'.She left them as Joaquin appeared with their luggage. He was a middle aged man with a dried

    As she was plunged into darkness, she cried out not realising that she was calling for Bryan who was there within the second. And as he pulled back the shower curtain, the light came on again with sudden startling brightness.'The lights...', she stammered feeling very foolish.'The electricity supply here can be pretty erratic', he explained as his eyes met hers.Oh...I...' She couldn't think of any other thing to say, freezing into immobility as she read the expression burning in his face.'You are alright? You didn't fall?' He sounded concerned as she felt her heart glowing until she remembered that it was probably the baby he was worried about and not her.'No. I'm fine, thank you', her voice was sharp with disappointment.Bryan smiled, reading her mind. His glittering eyes moving down over her wet naked body in slow intimate proposal.Those eyes were hypnotic, possessive and to her shame, she could feel herself responding as though he were physically touching her.Her breasts ach

    Bryan watched her in silence as Sharon tried to pull herself together and dry her tears. He could guess why she had frozen on his arms. She still couldn't trust him. She looked frail and vulnerable in the white robe and so beautiful, she tore at his heart. His body ached for the satisfaction only she could give him but he knew that he would have to be patient. He could arouse her, he was fully aware of that. He could take her now, if he reached for her. But if he did that, he would lose her, perhaps forever and he couldn't take that chance.Three years had been long enough -- too damn long! This time, there would be no compromise, no mistakes She wasn't a child anymore and he wanted her more than he had ever wanted a woman in his life.He couldn't let her go yet again. He pushed a hand through his hair and realised how tense he was. He forced his body to relax. Sexual satisfaction wasn't enough. He wanted everything and that meant he would have to go slowly.Sharon glancing at him fr

    Bryan looked out the window.Sharon stared at the broad tense sweep of his back, tears filling her eyes. We hy was he so cruel, so cold? Her mouth trembled with self pity.'You will have to sleep on the floor', she told him fiercely, as long seconds tickled by in strained silence.'No', he turned, his face hard. That bed is big enough for the both of us.'But....', she faltered, her eyes wide.'Damnit, I am not going to rape you', he said angrily. He moved towards her and she backed away shaking. How could she possibly explain to him that she could not share his bed because she was more frightened of herself than if him? That she could not trust herself to control her feelings and desires?'I didn't mean....''No? You are as transparent as a glass'. His anger frightened her.'Bryan, look I....' She didn't know what to say to him.Even now as he came towards her, tall and powerful in the dim light, she felt weak with longing for him. If they shared the same bed, would she have the sel

    After her shower, Sharon came downstairs. Bryan was already there with Deborah. While she was playing with her toys at the feet of her father, Bryan was scanning a Spanish newspaper, a cup of coffee in front of him.He looked up as she entered the room, his face revealing nothing of his thoughts. She felt herself trembling as their eyes met but managed to greet him coolly.'Did you sleep well?' he asked her with cool mockery.'Yes, thank you', she lied, reaching for the coffee pot and finding it cold.'Mummy, good morning. I came to your room and wanted to wake you but daddy said to leave you because you needed rest. Have you had enough rest?''Yes, darling I have had enough rest for now. And good morning my lovely angel. You are looking so beautiful this morning. Have you already had your bath?' she asked smiling sweetly at her daughter.'Dad help me to shower and dress up'.'And did you say thank you?''He is my dad, that is what he should do'. she said in confusion.'Yes but when a

    After sight seeing for a long time, they ate lunch under the orange tree of a street side cafe. The slender dark eyed waiter brought wine and a tray of tapas which Sharon devoured, finding her appetite on tasting the flavours of harm and cheese and fish.And in the late afternoon they walked in the gardens of the Alcazar. It was a magical place that seemed to stretch on forever, blocking out the city in the fading light. She was acutely aware of Bryan walking beside her and her heart ached. She wished she could share her delight in these magnificent gardens without restraint.As they strolled down a narrow path lined with lemon trees, Bryan turned to her. 'Tell me about Gerhard', he said expressionlessly.She wondered why he asked but didn't dare to voice the question. It seemed right to tell him the truth here, as the dying sun streaked the sky with orange, in the peace and greenery.So she told him everything. That she and Gerhard had been platonic friends for a long time, being int

    The following day, Bryan drove her to the coast. They spent the day on the sand, swimming in the warm waters of the Gulf of Cadiz. Sharon felt self conscious in her stylish one piece bathing costume. Her stomach hadn't started to swell yet but her waistline had started thickening and she felt embarrassed beneath Bryan's cool searching scrutiny.'I'm ugly', she said sharply, disconcerted by his silence. 'And soon, I'll hardly be able to move'.He smiled with understanding. 'You are beautiful', he said softly. 'So beautiful. Pregnancy suits you. I know because it suited you the first time as well as this time. Your eyes are sparkling, your skin is glowing with health which is an improvement from last time's flu though afterwards, you glowed with health like you are doing now. Your body is perfect. You look radiant'.'I'll bet', she retorted turning away but inside she was burning with happiness at such compliments.The sea was clear, the beach deserted beneath the hot sun.In the sand a

    Devon took a step forward and Sharon backed, really afraid now, She could see why Ana the maid looked agitated. There was something dangerous about Devon, something in her eyes, something in the way she was talking, something vicious and frightening.'Devon, please sit down', she said again, thinking, where are you Bryan? This is your problem, not mine, and I don't think I can cope.Devon's smile faded. 'I can do anything', she said, her voice strangely quiet. 'Bryan brought me from France to live with him. You see he loves me, not you. I'll tell him that it's not his baby you are carrying. I kept you away from him for three years. I enjoyed seeing your face when you found me in his arms in his office that day. Bryan was angry. You poisoned his mind', she rambled on as though talking to herself.Realisation dawned on Sharon in a sudden blinding flash. She had been wrong. For three years, she had been wrong.

    Sharon called Gabriel to know where he was and he told her that he was in her house getting the food.'Get enough brooth as well. Bryan has woken from the coma and would soon ask for food and the best thing for him at the moment is brooth or something liquid'.'What did you say? Did you say that Bryan is alive, as in woken from his coma?' he asked incredulously.'That is what I said and I am very happy. Hurry up and get here and I shall tell you all the juicy details'.Next, she called David.'Devon was here and boasted if how she had succeeded in killing Deborah. Was she really able to take her from under your care?''Of course not. She was here but though she threatened me and some others with both a knife and gun, before she could even see my goddaughter, she was surrounded and ran off. That must be when she came to the hospital to threaten you too. But how did it go over there? She definitely did not succeed for you to sound so confident'.'Bryan is awake. You can bring Deborah and

    Devon got a hold of some good clothes and dressed herself respectably with sun shades and went into the hospital and asked the receptionist where Bryan's wards was. She did well to shed a few years and with her handkerchief,dappled her face as though cleaning the tears from her eyes.The receptionist had heard of the man and the misfortune that had befallen him, so she felt pity for the beautiful lady and gave her directions and Devon was very profuse in her thanks.Sharon had received a call earlier by her servants of Devon's visit and she thanked her stars that she had taken the right measures to protect her child especially when she heard the threats the servants suffered and how they had to lie to mislead Devon.'Let her go in search of us in Serville, the stupid girl', Sharon said and thanked them for their loyalty.She was shocked to see a lady come into the ward just as the doctors stepped out.She looked so different that Sharon did not recognize her at first. But that was unt

    Devon went to Bryan's house and after careful survey, found out that both wife and children were not in the house. She came out fully to confront the servants whose loyalty was admirable. 'They travelled to Serville', they told her when they could no longer keep from speaking to her about their mistress and her daughter.'How can they go to Serville when Bryan is dying in the hospital?' she asked not believing a word they said. 'That was what we were told and who are we to doubt our mistress?'. She had threatened them with a knife and with the way her eyes were glinting, they were sure they were facing their eminent death but she changed her mind and left and when they spied from the window and saw that she had really gone, they heaved a sign of relief.The next thing they did was to call their mistress to intimate her that her premonition that Miss Devon was going to come to the house had been right and all that had transpired.Devon thought hard and decided to look in on David bef

    When they got to the hospital, Sharon could not wait anymore. She was overtaken by an impatience brought on by desperation.She asked for directions to Bryan's ward and was shown the way to the place.As soon as she saw Bryan and with the cast on his neck, extending to his shoulders, she broke down in tears. Bryan was very pale and looked like he was not breathing and then there was this quinzy breath as though something was stuck in his respiratory system. He looked far worse than she had expected.She fell on her knees beside his bed weeping. Gabriel cautioned her to take it easy before she injured herself and the baby. She was inconsolable.'What will I do Gabriel? What if he does not survive this? Can you see the magnitude of the wound?'Gabriel nodded and though he was sceptical, he still offered words of consolation. 'You do not know that, do you? Someone the doctors have written off had eventually come to life or had you not heard of such scenarios?'Sharon had. David was a cas

    Sharon could not believe what she had just heard.'What are you talking about doctor? That Devon escaped and she is on her way to this place as we speak and that she did what toy husband?''Ma'am, I'm sorry but you see we are really occupied and very busy at the moment. I just took the time to get in contact with you because I felt that you should know'.'What happened to my husband dammit!' she yelled panicking. If Bryan was fighting for his life, then who was going to love and protect them from the devilish Devon?'The doctor kept silent. He understood that she was speaking out of fright but he still did not take kindly to swearing especially by women.Sharon realised that whatever be the problem, it couldn't have been the doctor's fault and she should not let loose her frustrations on him. If she wanted to get more details, then she had to be more civil irrespective of her feelings and disposition.'I am sorry, I didn't mean to speak to you that way but you see, I am pregnant and a

    Bryan got to the office and quickly got started with the work that had piled up for him. He normally didn't allow work to pile this way because he was really very diligent with his work but the past few days had been hectic, with him looking for his daughter and almost going insane with worry and fear.Afterwards, he went into David's office and was glad he met him because he was on his way out.'How are they now? How is Deborah coping with the situation? Hope she isn't having nightmares?' he asked anxiously. Deborah was his god daughter after all.'How did you know about the nightmares?' Bryan asked surprised at how knowledgeable he was though he did not have his own children yet.'It is just common sense. A child who goes through what she had been through will definitely have nightmares for a while till she totally forgets about the experience'.'She actually had nightmares last night and had to sleep with us because she refused to go back to her room out of fear'.' You will have

    Deborah refused to go back to her room that night. She was too scared and had to sleep in the large bed with her parents.In the early hours of the morning, she started thrashing the bed. 'No, no I can't come with you. You are a wicked woman. You are not my aunt. My aunt can't be as scary as you. Go. No, don't touch me....'Sharon and Bryan woke immediately and were shaking her awake.'Dint touch me. You hands are filthy'.'Deborah! Hon! Wake, you are dreaming'.She opened her eyes and saw her parents. She was confused for a moment and then the words of her parents seemed to penetrate. 'Dream... nightmare'.She hugged her mother. Then she went over to rest on her father's body.'Dad, it was horrible. I thought it was actually happening'.'It's okay, forget about it, it was just a foolish nightmare'.'It might be a nightmare, dad but it was not foolish. Not at all'.'Do you still remember the dream?' Sharon asked.'I do and it scares me'.'Well maybe if you spoke about it, it will not

    Deborah got better and every one was happy. She told of her experiences. How the aunt had playfully carried her. She had seen her at her mother's wedding and had felt that she was friend or family. She had offered to call someone to attend her but she had refused and carried her, playing with her and somehow had got her to consume some form of medicine that made her feel weak and unable to play or speak and then the aunt had carried her away to somewhere and that was all she recalled because anytime she woke she gave her something to make her fall asleep again.Sharon could just imagine. That was why there was never a sound to signify that they had been in the attic for a while.Knowing that for those five horrible days, Deborah had been starved of love and affection. Sharon and her husband showered her with so much love that she felt very happy again. Bryan did not spare his love at all. He was always with her reading to her and making her feel loved at at home again. Sharon had to

    After eating the little she could, Deborah slept again. Sharon did not want to force her to eat more than she could at that stage so that she would not be sick.She ate a little herself because while watching her daughter, she realised that she was famished. She had barely eaten all through that day due to her anxiety over Deborah.She went to have her bath as Bryan came out from the study red eyed and looking very tired.She had never seen anything affect him this way and for him to show this little sign showed that he was not as composed and as confident as he wanted all to think.He really loved his daughter and it had given him quite a scare to find that it was possible for his decision to make him lose her. And he was still faced with making the right decision for all and it was eating him up.Sharon felt pity for him. It could not be that easy. It must be very burdensome on his shoulders having to choose between his own family and his half sister he had hoped to help and cure.
