Chapter One hundred Seventeen Desiree…..I stood tall with my feel steady on the ice, fearing.that I might fall after years of not ice skating.I took one step at a time , the temptation to act like a pro that I was years back but now I had to make my brain understand that it had been so long since we danced on ice…“Okay one step at a time!” I told myself.I had to be careful of my baby and also of my head. Ice can be really hard sometimes.“You do know you can take my hands right!” Mason, the guy from the store where I had bought my skating shoes, offered.He had been really nice to me and also he had been volunteering to be my support but I Always feel like I can do it.“No, I can do it!”He scoffed.“That's the billionth time you said that today!” I glared at him.He skated his.way to me and held my hand regardless.Indeed it helped but then I still thought I could do it myself.My baby bump wasn't evident yet but only a few people could tell.“You know I actually believe you c
Chapter One hundred and Eighteen KillianIt had been three weeks of being in Switzerland and I was loving it except for the party where a lady had been stalking me for the longest and I feared if she looked too much she would know who I am and that wasn't going to be nice.I got out of bed early to get dressed because within the three weeks I was there I had already secured a job as a cook in one of the most known restaurants in Switzerland which was just 20 minutes away from where I was.I went in with my cologne and wore a basic t-shirt with sweatpants and headed out of my apartment.Velvet had been stalking me for the past three weeks and counting she would always drop notes of how much she loved me and how much of a sex toy she sees me as, not like she says that literally but one could already tell what she meant by tje amount of unnecessary kisses she added to everyone of her letter.Switzerland was great but nothing about being stalked was beautiful. I flagged down an Uber that

Chapter One hundred and twenty “You’ve gotta be kidding me right now?” I scoffed putting my phone on DND immediately as I watched his call ring to an end. I didn't think too much of it just that he came into my life acted like he was a good person, which he was , kissed me told me you love me and then …voilà!!! You disappeared into thin air!!! I carried myself softly to the bed and just laid there with a satisfactory smile on my face. Sleep flew away from my eyes the moment Micheal's called entered, so I decided to get up to some good. The good I was about to get up to was…. Fashion designing , yes the art of dress making, if I could make dresses for myself then definitely I can make dresses for my body type with ease. I scrolled the internet and found materials that I could need but I didn't have any one of them at home except for a needle, threads and a pair of scissors, but I listed all of it so I could get them when I went out the following day. After a while my eyes were
Chapter One hundred and twenty one Killian.I stepped back in shock, and immense horror seeing the content of the box.“And this got delivered to my doorstep?* I wondered.Fear gripped me like never before, I stared into box as I went back in time.It was the night after the lacrosse game, a normal random day you would say but it was the day that I had won against a team that had played against our school .I and Raphael sat in my room as we talked over and over again over how hard the game was.“I'm glad you didn't have a broken leg this time!” Raphael teased.This game was also after I had broken my leg.“That would have been bad especially when the doctor warned me to stay off pitch for months, how could I do that?!” I whined fiddling with the puzzle box in my hand.“But that dude through!” Raphael pointed out.“What dude?” “Liam!” He voiced My mind travelled back to how aggressive that guy was, Liam was on our team and he for some reason as always had a beef with someone from t
Chapter One hundred and twenty twoDesiree I walked out of the hospital feeling confident that I had finally checked off something on my list, going for a prenatal registration checked.Next stop- Getting supplies for my first fashion project.I walked alongside a few other pregnant women who also came for their appointments.The appointment went really well no bad feeling no bad vibes from the doctors and most especially my doctor happened to be a lady.I flagged down an Uber that would take me to the store where I need to get the materials.As I got into t the Uber I couldn't help but to admire the city once more, very reflective glass, nice infrastructure and beautiful scenery.“The city is beautiful isn't it?” The Uber dropped very suddenly. I looked back at him just to see that he was staring back at me in the rear view mirror.“It is, it is very beautiful!”.I agreed.This was the first time I was going to be voicing out and making a good conversation with an Uber driver. Most
Chapter One hundred and twenty three KillianI packed up the box and backed off from it, pictures, evidence and s whole lot more were sent to me in that box and I started to wonder.Who took all these pictures and how was the evidence found?I paced back and forth trying to understand what kind of situation I was in. After how many years???That was ALMOST 20 years back!!!!!I picked up my phone and dialled Raphael..“Hey, I have something to tell you!” I voiced“I know, didn't you see the letter in the box that was sent to you?” Raphael reported his voice very low and unlively.I was shocked how he knew about the box.“How….“I got mine last night!” He revealed.I could already tell that he wasn't going to be able to sleep.“Gwen can't know, luckily she went to see her parents in the Bahamas!” Raphael revealed.I could tell he was very much stressed out.“But after twenty years though!” He whined again.Him not telling Gwen might sound like a good thing but it was not the best idea
Chapter One hundred and twenty fourDesiree.“How do you know?” he asked seeming quite intimidated…I scoffed inwardly.“I was also in the lacrosse team in high school!” I simply replied.There was a hint of shock on his face but he remained calm.“A lady in lacrosse, weren't you supposed to be in the cheerleading team or something!” He asked as Mason just stared from afar, he also didn't know I played lacrosse, I never told him.“I didn't want to!” I simply replied.The guy looked back at mason who just stood there and smiled counting his money off the counter.“I will only believe you if you agree to a challenge with me,???I stared out the window trying hard not to pull him closer and slap him, but thenMason jumped in his tracks Once he heard about the duo challenge.“Accepted!” I voiced, sounding very prepared and ready to hut“No no. no, thank you so much!” Mason disappeared between I and this high school kid, I looked at him as he did so “Well nothing is accepted okay, can't y
