The morning came with Frank still in bed, wallowing in self-pity. He did not feel like getting out of bed. The alcohol he had taken the previous day had only provided him with brief amnesia and a throbbing headache.

The sun had brought back the reality that he had tried to escape from, and it reminded him that the horror was far from over. He turned on the bed trying to get into a comfortable position, but all he ended up with was a sole back

He could only assume the old man and his wife were out of the state, and now he had the job of praying that she was pregnant. He was never a prayer person; he stopped years ago and left such to his mother because he lost faith and believed life wasn't fair, especially if one was poor.

The irony was that he was supposed to pray for his aunt to be pregnant. Something that was a taboo, and he couldn't think of how to start such a prayer.

Maybe his mother would know how to start such a prayer. And talking about his mother, he remembered how he screa

    Frank felt like the whole world was collapsing on him. The seat he was sitting on felt hot as he tried to adjust it but it only became more unbearable forcing him to get up."What exactly are you saying?" He asked."My son can't donate anything; the cancer is all over his body," the old man explained. "It has spread everywhere.Ireen dropped to her knees, trying to understand what wrong she or her son had done. It was unfair to her and her children. She never wronged anyone, but yet their lives were full of misery."I am so sorry, Ireen," the old man added.Frank paced the room as he tried to control his emotions, urging his mother to get up too; they needed to find other solutions. Crying was not going to solve anything.They thanked the old man, who wished them good luck.Outside, Frank held his mother's hand. "Do not worry; I will find a way," he assured her."What other way is there? Do you mean finding another rich woman and exposing yourself to more diseases?" She asked."Mom, I

    Frank stared at his phone in surprise; he never expected the old man to agree so easily, especially given how pissed he was the last time they met, and he put a stop to their contract without warning.He began wondering what happened for him to change his mind. Something happened for him to ignore how close they were to being caught. On second thought, it was none of his business why the man changed his mind. What was important was for him to do the job professionally this time and make sure she fell pregnant for the sake of his brother.In the afternoons, a parcel with some money, plane tickets, and his passport arrived. He informed his mother about the trip and maintained the story of the cougar. He did not like lying to her, but there was no option.Ireen felt disgusted for putting her son in such a position. When he was leaving, she could only nod her head without saying a word. The shame was too overwhelming for her to even look him in the eye. She had completely failed as a mot

    Meanwhile, Nera sat on her toilet seat looking paler than a ghost. She was done with everything; it was over, and she had finally accepted the fact that she was never supposed to be a mother.She held a sanitary pack in her arms as if she were reading the label, but her thoughts had strayed far away, mocking herself.It was too good to be true, too perfect, like a Disney movie with a happy ending. Her husband found a herb from Africa that was going to give them a miracle baby.What hurt the most was the constant, nonstop sex that she had to endure for the past two weeks, which left her very sore every morning, but she never complained because she knew there was going to be a beautiful prize at the end of the rough tunnel.She even went to the lengths of imagining hot men fucking her in order to bear the pain, but it was all for nothing. She had cheated in her mind, for nothing.Out of frustration, she threw the stupid sanitary pack against the wall and let out a loud scream.She held

    Slowly but steadily, Marcus took short breaths. Back at the hospital, the doctors warned him to control his temper if he did not want to have a stroke. He could hear Nera yelling but decided to ignore her and get some sleep for the sake of his blood pressure and sanity.He walked to the bed but remembered that she had instructed him to use another room. He could not blame her; he had disappeared on her just like he always did when there was trouble.He changed into his pajamas, grabbed a pillow, and walked out of the room. He was going to honor her wish and sleep in a different room and wait for her until she calmed down.However, when he woke up in the morning, he found Nera yelling at the servants, just like he left her when he slept. He walked out of the room, pissed, and ordered her to follow him."Marcus, I am busy!" She yelled back."Nera! Now!" He yelled at the top of his voice. It was the first time he was yelling at her in their three years of marriage.Nera turned while the

    For unknown reasons, Marcus felt numbness in his legs and quickly held on to the wall for balance. The driver quickly ran to his aid."Are you okay, sir? Is there something?" the driver asked."I am fine; help me walk to my office," he requested.The driver looked at him puzzled. He was expecting him to run after his wife and tell her the good news.With his boss's hand over his shoulder, he led the way to the office."Sir, you have to ask her to take a test; this is how my wife and I found out we were expecting," he tried to start up a conversation, but Marcus asked him to shut up and leave the office.The driver quickly shut up; he always knew when to shut up or turn a blind eye and was well aware that if Nera was pregnant, it was not his boss's but the young man he used to pick back and forth from the hotel to the mansion.A deadly secret that he swore to take to his grave. He quickly walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. His boss's behavior was very odd; he was e

    Meanwhile, after all the failed efforts to get in touch with Marcus, Frank spent the entire week patrolling the nightclubs and spending all the little money he was earning on alcohol and women.He was still in Taxes, ashamed to go back home. He couldn't face his mother; how could he when he had run out of lies and excuses? He had failed, and he felt worthless. His brother was going to die because of him, and he was too worthless to prevent it.He had tried going to the mansion but stopped at the gate when he realized he was going to bump into Marcu's wife, so he talked himself out of the stupid plan. Seeing her face was only going to invite more demons into his head.The one week of free hotel services Marcus had paid for was over, and his return ticket expired, which meant he was going to have to pay for his own ticket back.It was a matter of time before the old man stopped paying for the dialysis. That was the reality he did not want to face his mother.He knew hiding was not going

    His breathing became erratic, while his throat became dry. His eyes were heavy for all the days he had failed to get some sleep. He was scared of what he was going to find once he opened his eyes. He bet everything on the stupid test, and he began realizing that he had a lot to lose if he was going to find one line. One month away from Nera meant the end of their marriage. He couldn't see how they would come back from that.However, he was a man of risks; his entire success was based on taking risks. Most of the risks questioned his mental status but they always paid off. He swallowed hard, reminding himself of those risks as he slowly opened his eyes to meet two thick lines staring at him.His legs became heavy as he slumped to the floor, fixed on the lines. He closed his eyes again and opened them. To his shock, the lines were still there. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was making himself see what was not there. He opened them again, but the test was still positive. She was preg

    With everything sorted, Marcus walked back to Nera's room, certain that all loose ends were covered. The boy was paid in full even though the contract stated the other million would be paid after Nera gave birth, but he decided to settle everything once and for all and hoped for him and his wife to have their happy ending.He walked back to Nera's room with the intention of taking her back home, but when he opened the door, he found the doctor he bribed to lie to Nera about his impotence talking and laughing with Nera."Marcus, do you remember Doctor Smith?" Nera asked in excitement.Marcus froze at the door as his muscles stiffened. He could hear his own heart trying to burst out of his chest."I was just telling her about the African herb that brought about the little miracle inside of me," she laughed out.The doctor stared at Marcus; from his posture and unwelcoming glares, she could tell something was wrong. She did not need her medical degree to know that no herb in the world wo

    Nera froze in horror. Texas was too big for Elijah to find her address in a single day.She was asleep and it was all a nightmare, he couldn't have guessed the right address. Someone must have told him, but she doubted Frank did. Now that she thought about it, she never told Frank either."Stay in here; I will handle this man to man," Frank said, asking her to lock the door.He walked downstairs and found Elijah spinning little Aria around who was giggling in excitement."Put her down!" Frank yelled.Elijah frowned and put the little girl down."Let's talk outside," Frank ordered."I am here for Nera and not you," Elijah politely replied."This will only take a second unless you are not a man and scared of a little talk," Frank stated.Elijah chuckled and led the way outside.Nera walked downstairs and ordered Sam to take Aria upstairs while she locked the door. She did not have time for the two fools, though she was curious to know what they were talking about so she stayed in the k

    "How did you get in without knocking?" Uncle Luke got up, irritated. "Nera, talk to me!" Frank ignored him. "Are you carrying my baby?" He was at the door and about to knock when he heard the word "abortion."Nera looked away, irritated."Nera, you cannot abort my child! You cannot punish the unborn child for my mistakes," he began pleading with her."It's not your baby," Nera replied without thinking. She wanted him out of the house. He had no right to listen in on a private conversation.She walked up to him and folded her arms."You were not the only one that I was fucking in that house!" She yelled at him.Frank felt a sharp pain in his heart as he moved a step backward. He had tried to ignore the fact that Nera was fucking Elijah too but it looked like she wanted to hurt him it.Uncle Luke stared at Nera out of words and decided to walk out of the house. All the anger he had intended to throw Frank out of the house with, vanished. He was tired of the drama and just wanted to go

    Uncle Luke finally came to his senses as he breathed in and out. His hand was covered in blood from the punches he had landed.He looked at Frank, whose face was also covered in blood and still in a kneeling position.Nera had her hands over her mouth in shock. Everything was happening so fast.Greg quickly pulled Uncle Look out of the room and told Nera to close the door in order to prevent Sam and Aria from entering the room.Nera thanked him and closed the door.Frank was still motionless on his knees."Are you okay?" Nera asked, not sure what to say."I am fine, Nera," he replied.Nera walked to the bathroom and grabbed a towel for him."Would you get up from the floor?" She instructed."How can I get up when I am still trying to tell you the other side of my story?" He asked."Frank, you are hurt!" She yelled at him, irritated."Not as hurt as the feeling in my heart," Frank replied. "To be honest, I did not feel the punches. The pain is in my heart, and I am not leaving until yo

    A week elapsed, with Nera spending most of her days in her room. The crying stopped days ago, and usually, she just stared out the window.The window that she had jumped out of the night of her wedding which eventually led to her meeting Marcus.The door opened, and Sam ran in excitedly."Mommy, Mommy, JR will be here," he said.Nera smiled. She was only glad the horror happened when her two children were too young to understand anything."Is this the new friend you made?" She asked."Yes, his father wants to take us to see the horse rides," he said.Aria ran into the room too. "Mom, I want to go too," she said."I do not think..." Nera tried to speak, but Sam interrupted her."His father says he knows you, and if you want, you can tag along," he said."What?""Please, Mom, let us go," Aria began pulling on her.Uncle Look walked into the room."Let them go; JR is a nice kid," he said."You know this boy? Who are his parents?" She asked.Uncle Luke cleared his throat. "Yes, JR has bee

    Nera slowly opened her eyes. A white ceiling was staring back at her, and she could tell she was not in hell yet, though she would have preferred it."Nera, thank God you are finally awake!" Uncle Luke rushed to her side.Nera looked around, surprised that he was in Georgia."Uncle Luke," she whispered."Yes, dear, it's me. I came as fast as I could when I received a call from that nurse," he said, holding her hand."Aria…Sam?" She asked."They are with the nanny; I called her too," he explained.Nera closed her swollen eyes."According to the nurse, you fainted when you read the DNA results," he asked. "Whose DNA results are they?"Nera was quiet; she did not have the energy or will to explain the horror she found out, and that was why she had hoped to have woken up in hell."Nera, please talk to me; I am your uncle, and I promise I will not get mad," he said to her.Nera opened her eyes. "Take me to Texas; I will do something stupid if I stay in this place longer," she requested."

    Frank and Ireen sat in the garage in silence. They heard the gate open and a car driving in and out, and they knew it was Nera leaving. Frank was supposed to run after her and tell her his side of the story, but he had no energy to get up. His entire world was crushed in front of him. He never expected Nera to find out about the contract, and even if she did, he pictured an environment where he sat her down peacefully and told her everything himself. But seeing how she attacked him and the hurt in her eyes, it numbed him down. "You have to get up, Frank," Ireen said, breaking the silence. Somehow she was relieved the woman got to know about the contract, even though she did not like how she discovered it. Now they needed to start planning for the aftermath. There was a slim chance Nera was going to press charges, but she was a scorned woman, so anything was possible. "You need to call your lawyer and get ready," she replied. Frank looked up at her. "Is she ever going to forg

    Nera's stomach contracted into a tight ball as a wave of acid welled up from her belly. Her eyes were completely dry; she had cried already, and there were no tears left.She grabbed the phone from Elijah and played the recording again. This time, memories came flooding back of how difficult it was for her and Marcus to have a child.It had taken Marcus a long time to take a test, and even when he got the results, they tried, but she did not get pregnant. He refused to adopt or for her to undergo artificial insemination.He insisted on having Rashwell blood and kept insisting they make a baby the natural way. Then they went to Alabama, and he came with the beetroot herb and the sex drugs.The sex became hot; it was different, but she thought it was the herb because she was slow in the head, and she finally got pregnant. But after they found out that Sam was allergic to dairy products, they tried to have a child again and failed. Every test came out negative until Frank showed up. Mar

    Without warning, Ireen landed a hard slap on Nera's face and screamed in frustration.She did not move, and neither did she flinch."Don't you have some dignity?" Ireen yelled. "What will your children think of you? What explanation would a mother give to her children when she brought them into a stranger's house to have a good fuck?" Nera kept her eyes fixed on the floor in silence."You couldn't even leave them with a relative, but you brought those innocent kids for your prostitution rides!"Nera finally looked up, her hands clenched into fists. Her breathing became rigged, and she was tempted to punch the woman in the face, but it took all her might to control herself.Ireen paused her words for a second."I will ask you, woman to woman, mother to mother, please leave. If you really love my son, then free him and let him go," she begged, getting on her knees.Nera moved away in confusion; she was not expecting to see the woman on her knees considering how she had stormed into th

    Nera could hear her own heartbeat as the woman began moving closer to her. Even though the two never met, Nera had seen photos of Ireen, and she knew what the woman looked like.And from the way she was looking at her, she could tell she was not there for a friendly visit.Frank quickly grabbed Ireen's hand before there were any confrontations."Let go of my hand now," Ireen yelled."Mom, calm down. What are you doing?" Frank asked her, his eyes searching for the presence of Shelby."Please, Mom, not here; Shelby is home," he pleaded with her.Ireen looked at her son, who was breathing heavily, then at Nera, who averted her eyes. "Mommy, I am hungry," a little girl said as she walked from the kitchen. "Mommy, come and finish making the porridge," she said, pulling on Nera.Nera's eyes were fixed on the floor, she did not move or flinch. She thought she had prepared for the day she would meet Ireen but she was wrong.Aria looked up at Ireen."Uncle Frank, who is that?" She askedIreen
