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. 'You did it delibrately, didn't you?' she said smiling herself now, a little h

    Still considering the events of the past hour, Sharon could understand why Bryan had been so violently angry a out Gerhard, why he had insisted that she married him and why he had been furious that his daughter's paternity had been kept from him.His child would always know his father and mother. History would not repeat itself. NY one question remained unanswered. Where did she stand?Bryan took her hands and pulled her gently to her feet. 'I don't want to talk about Devon, I want to talk about you and me'.Worry prickled down Sharon's spine. She felt unsure of herself, certain that he was going to ask her to leave.'There is nothing to talk about. I want to go back to London alone', she said quickly. She would go of her own free will before he asked her to goBryan shook his head, his face hard. 'I meant what I said the other time. I won't let you go!''No?' She smiled at him provocatively, seeing something in his eyes that made her heart stop beating.'No'. He tilted her face with

This was while preparations for her third birthday was in progress.As they called for her all over and could not find her, they were disturbed because she was normally a sensible girl who did not wander around especially out of the premises.A call came from the doctors treating Devon to say that she had escaped from the hospital. How she was able to overcome the sedative and leave with no one seeing her, irrespective of the security was a marvel.Bryan could not believe that Devon could do something like that when Sharon suggested that she was the one but who else could it possibly be? The search for her started. They did not know where to search for Devon be ause they felt that if they could see her, then Deborah would definitely be close by.'You said that the

    The door was opened and the doors went in and the switch was turned on and light flooded blindingly everywhere but there was no sign of the people being searched for but there were several things to indicate that they had been there.There were used and disposed clothes, crumbs from good particles and some other such things.Sharon was disappointed. More so than she hated to admit but how had they been in the house for sometime without them knowing about it? The answer lay in one tablet they saw on the floor. She had been drugging Deborah to keep her from being alert enough to cry.Sharon started sobbing because such drugs could be detrimental to a child's health. She could be giving her more than the doze for a child And keeping a child perpetually drug so that she won't cry out was dangerous according to what Sharon could deduce.Bryan was helpless. He was filled with fury.Sharon felt that she could come in and go as she pleased with no one being the wiser afterall she had lived

    Though a tracker was put on her, the police hadn't been able to put a speaker transmitter in her ears or clothes so that they could hear what was being said and they felt that that was one of their failures for not thinking of that earlier. They quickly gave it to Bryan just in case Devon asked for him as well.When Sharon got there not caring what her fate would be because she was already too scared for her daughter, she saw a sick smile break on Devon's face.'You are finally here, ma'am. I finally got you where I want you', she said but Sharon did not utter a word. She did not want to antagonize her and force her to harm her daughter or even herself. If there was a chance that they would get out of there safe, she was willing to endure any insult to achieve that.'No comment? This is surely wonderful. I was expecting a sharp comeback from a snatcher like you. You saw that Bryan and I were together and yet you decided to come between us and you think that you would go Scot free? His

    Bryan himself was very furious and his fury leapt in bounds when he heard and saw the drugs that his wife would have been forced to drink that most probably would have killed her and their unborn child but his duty was still making him try to help her get better than placing her in police custody.'Is she okay?' husband and wife asked simultaneously when they saw their daughter being brought out if the building.'She seemed to be sleeping or drugged but she is still breathing', they responded.Sharon was crying and she could see Bryan's eyes glittering and knew that he was holding in his emotions.He called for a doctor immediately and the family doctor came and checked on Deborah and said that her system was too full of drugs and that her system had to be flushed so that there would be no side effects.But that time, Deborah had woken but she just stared at them dazed and a girl who was very chatty did not say anything. She just looked like the ghost of her former self.Sharon cried

    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
