What have you done Amanda?” I asked fearfully. She ran to the person I was trying to run away from. Amanda looked away, she could not bear to look me in the eyes.“Forget about her for now. Answer my question. Is she saying the truth? Are you pregnant Felicity?” the anger in his voice was lost and I could see anxiety had taken its place.“No.” I answered and looked away. He looked at Amanda and looked back at me.“What is wrong with the both of you? Have the both of you gone mad?Somebody tell me the truth right now!!” he yelled angrily. He looked at Amanda and the poor woman looked as if she wanted to pee on herself.“I was saying the truth sir, she is pregnant, I swear. I swear on my life. I swear on my children sir.” She feel on her knees and began to put her hands together in supplication.“if you lie to me one more time you are losing your job. I’ll ask you this question one last time, is she pregnant?” he asked and pointed at me with shaking hands. Sarah had lost the look of def

Joseph sat on the bed and ran his fingers through his hair. What the hell was happening to him? why him? he walked to his wine cabinet, swung it open and retrieved a bottle of scotch. He pulled the cork open and drank the emptied the contents of the bottle in one go. The hot liquid hit the back of his throat painfully and he felt the heat rising In his chest but he did not stop.He threw the empty bottle on the floor and walked to his cabinet to get his car keys. He was already feeling lightheaded and he could feel his legs get lighter.Sarah saw him walking to his car and ran to meet him. “Are you going out? I would love to go out with you. You must be feeling so sad right now. I know the perfect place to go.” She said and lead him to the car.He wanted to protest but what use was it. His sense of reasoning had locked behind bars by the booze and he was going to do whatever the hell he wanted to do.But how could she? He thought.“Oh my God!” Sarah exclaimed. “You are wasted and we a

waited all day for my husband to return, but once again my husband did not return home. I asked one of the maids to go look for Sarah. I had a dreadful idea on what was going on but I could not just jump to conclusion. The maid returned with news that Sarah had gone out with the boss. I turned away from her and looked at the wall. I did not cry this time. Crying would be stupid. What good did it do for me or my child, now was the time to be strong and make my moves. Now was the time to plan ahead.I got of the bed and walked to the kitchen. My headache was still doing its own thing but I had no time to pay it any attention. The kitchen was empty and I walked to the fridge and grabbed myself a bottle of water. Where had this man gone off to with this woman? And it did nit help that the two of them had ran off after Sarah had shared that stupid video.I emptied the bottle and threw on the floor. A maid walked in and saw me, her eyes widened in shock and she stood still for several seco

“Please ma’am, don’t make me do it.” She begged and cried at the same time. Her face was not so pretty when she cried and I found that very amusing. My god what was wrong with me? I was acting like a lunatic all of a sudden.“Steven!!” I called at the top of voice. Steven was the muscular security guard that was loyal to me and me alone. He walked into the room like he had been waiting outside the door and came to my side.“Steven make her drink the contents of that cup.” I ordered and quick like a flash he walked to the other girl and grabbed the cup from her.“Please Ma’am, pleas I did not want to do it. He made me do it. I swear it ..” she looked at Steven with horror as he grabbed her mouth and forced it open.“I do not want to hear anything you have to say. Before he makes you drink whatever cocktail you had prepared for me, I want to know one thing. Am I truly pregnant?” I dreaded the response that I knew was inevitable but I had to know. I had to know if I was carried the seed

I have to get the truth no matter the cost. Who want’s me dead, and most importantly why?I got out of my bed and walked to the door. A new day had arrived and with it new problems and new issues that need solving. I have been through a lot in my life but I have never been the target of an attempted homicide. Hell my father was the first dead body I had ever seen. The memory of what had happened the night before came on me in full force and I shuddered from the memory. I had done so much harm, caused so much damage, killed a woman and threatened to kill another, what had come over me?I looked at myself in the mirror, the person that looked back at me seemed to be complete stranger. I have seen and heard about pregnancy glow-ups, is that what is going on right now? But I doubted that. I was too early to start seeing such rapid changes. I sighed and walked into the bathroom. The bathroom looked different and I realized after a minute of confusion that the water closet had been changed.

He stared down at me , his nose flared with the effort of breathing, his eyes an odd colour that I was sure due to the alcohol he must have been taking, did alcohols make your eyes red or was it ciggies. I was about to give an answer when Sarah badge into the room after Joseph.She stare at me for a really time and all I could think of was how it instead of the nurse. But I could not change the fate or turn the course of time so she would have to live for a little while longer but I would pay her back in kind for all she had done to me. God help me, I was going to pay everyone who hurt me the same way that had hurt me the same way they had done to me. I was going to pay them more. The thought of it brought a smile to my face.“Answer me Felicity. What did you do?” he was very angry now, but something was different. He was not acting like his normal sense. I had just taken the life of his employees, sure she had tried to kill me but that did not change what had happened. He was afraid

“Felicity take your seat.” He said in a low grumble. I went back to my seat and sat quietly. I was not sure what to feel right now. Fear or determination. Is it time to be brave or is it time to be humble. You have to be a brave sometimes but God I knew this was not the time so I calmly took my seat and was quiet as a mouse.Sarah stood next to him, her arms were wrapped around his own in a way that I knew was meant to provoke me but all I could think of was how funny it was. She pouted her lips and made teary eyes at him.“Go take a seat woman!” he yelled at her and shoved her away. Sarah stared at him in complete shock. The both of us had not expected such a reaction but Joseph was now a completely different person.“You Felicity.” He said and pointed to me. I looked up at him in response and walked up to me. Sarah was on the ground sobbing silently like a complete fool.“What did you do last night?” he asked in a whisper. His tone soothed my fear a little bit so I sat up and answe

The looks on their faces was not encouraging and my nervousness returned like boomerang. “Is anything wrong?”“You took a life Felicity, of course something Is wrong.” Sarah said. I wanted to hit her, every atom within me wanted to hurt her, but hurting her was not going to help me so I held my peace and turned away from her.The two officers must have noticed the tension in the room and both look embarrassed. “Sir can’t we have the meeting here?” I asked again.“I am sorry but we have to take you to the station for questioning.” Dalton said. “We have to bring you in.”“OK.” Was my response. “It’s getting late and I would like it if we left now.” Joe remarked after glancing at his wrist watch.“I understand.” I said quietly and followed the officers out of the house. I could see Sarah grinning from ear to ear. It must all seem so funny to her. Finally seeing me pay for her crimes. But it did not really matter, I was going to get out of that prison no matter the cost it took me. What

I hesitated, with my heart racing. I was aware I shouldn't get close to anyone in this new project let alone build attachment as I was willing to risk my life and put an end to this, but Iskander's sincerity was undeniable."Iskander," I called out with a whisper, my eyes searching his face. "You've already done so much for me. I don't know what I would have done without you."I stepped closer, my body drawn towards his like a magnet. I could feel the warmth radiating from him, the strength in his arms. The moment seemed to slow down, as the world around us began fading into the background."I know I shouldn't," I said, with my voice low, I was feeling things I couldn't explain. "but I can't fight this anymore."Iskander's hand cupped my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek.I leaned in and closed the distance between us with my lips finding his in a kiss that was both gentle and passionate. I could feel the surprise in his body, a momentary hesitation that quickly dissolved into

The bright and sunny sky with the fresh warm air greeted me as I stepped out of the plane, holding Austin tightly in my arms. My heart, still beating rapidly from the events that I had just experienced, my heartbeat began to slow down. I couldn't believe we had made it out alive, let alone escaped to a place of safety. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw Iskander guiding the babysitter towards the terminal. The sight of him, rugged and determined, filled me with a sense of relief and gratitude As I made my way through the airport, the sight of normalcy around me contrasted sharply with the chaos and danger I had faced back in Hawaii. Yet, even as the adrenaline began to subside, my mind was already fixating on one thing which was retribution."Enough," I muttered under my breath, a strong determination replacing the fear that had gripped me earlier. "I'm going to find out why Sarah is after me, and I'm going to end it."Austin's soft coo snapped me back to reality. I glanced down at his

The babysitter laughed with her bandaged arm at Austin. “He's always looking for one reason to cry,” she said. “No, he's just unhappy that his mother is crying, that's how he consoles her,” He said.We drove for hours, through the city and then out into the countryside. The babysitter was quiet, her eyes closed as she rested. I tried to stay alert with Iskander, scanning the landscape for any sign of danger. But the soldiers seemed confident that we were safe, and eventually, my nerves began to settle. As we drove further and further from the city, I started to relax. The soldiers were highly skilled, and I felt confident that they would keep us safe. I looked over at the babysitter, who was still sleeping peacefully. I felt a wave of gratitude wash over me. She was safe, and I was glad she survived, I didn't want her to be part of something she knew nothing about, and being the victim through death would make me hate myself.We pulled into a street and the soldiers led us through a

Iskander kept mute for a while, then he sighed. “All right, who is this soldier you seem to trust so much,” he said looking at me.“Soldier Bellion” I replied immediately. “You trust him? You just met him”. Iskander said looking like I said something wrong. “She is a female actually, But I address her by her third name since her first is Sarah.” I stopped to catch my breath. “Since Sarah is trying to kill me, we had to use another name” I added. “I see,” Iskander said slowly. Just then Soldier Bellion walked in, she reduced her pace as she stared at Iskander critically. “Is he your brother?” She asked as she stood between the both of us. “No no, he is not” I quickly responded. “I am so sorry,” Soldier Bellion said. “This is a first,” I said grinning. “First what?...” Soldier Bellion asked. “So you see the question usually goes ‘Is he your husband’ This is a first to be ‘Is he your brother?’ I explained softly to her. “I understand now” she nodded. “He is my bodyguard,” I told her. I

"I'm with some soldiers," I say, trying to keep my voice calm. "They're taking me somewhere safe.""Where are you?" Iskander asks again, his voice insistent. "I need to know where you are."I take a deep breath and tell him the location. I can hear him let out a sigh of relief. "I'm on my way," he says. "Just hold on."I nod, even though he can't see me. I'm just relieved that both of them were fine.The Soldiers guard me and Austin to their Barracks. They leave me with guards and a female soldier who attends to me. I could tell Austin was hungry. “Please Ma, can I get a spot to breastfeed my baby” I ask as Austin begins to whimper and stretch his arms towards my chest.“Surely there is, follow me,” she said with a smile. She walked me into a room that seemed like a dormitory. “You must be hungry, I'd get you something” she spoke with sympathy. “Oh no, it's fine I'm okay” I quickly replied not wanting to bother her. “You are a breastfeeding mother, I've been a mother too and if your

My heart suddenly went cold as tears streamed through my eyes. I heard Iskanders Car explode over the phone. For some reason, my eardrums seemed to be functioning. I looked down at Austin, whose blanket was adjusted for him to breathe. My son seemed to understand the situation as he didn't try to play or grab anything. He just fell asleep. I wanted to break down and curse out loud, why me? Why do I always have to be on the run?Suddenly I spot five cars from the side window. I needed no soothsayer, to let me know they were after me. My engine roared as I increased my speed and sped off, taking off one arm regularly to secure Austin.The trees and houses by the road almost felt like I was in the car race which I played as a kid. The wind was whizzing by as I raced down the road. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, my breath coming in gasps. I've never driven so fast in my life, but I know I have to get away from the men who are after me. I can see them in the rearview mirror,

The chef chuckled “You have such a bubbly kid, try this one” she said handing me another. It was awesome when it melted in my mouth, It wasn't ice cream but it was awesome. Iskander and the babysitter shook their heads in satisfaction. “Thank you so much for this” Iskander said as we rounded up and our stomachs filled to the brim.Austin had a swell time as he slowly fell asleep. “I'll see you all tomorrow, do have a good night's rest,” Iskander said as he left for his room. “Madam, should I take him for a bath” The babysitter asked as she tried to carry Austin. “No, don't worry I want to be with him, I'd bathe him myself” I replied as I waved her to her room.Bathing Austin was easy, he was barely awake except when the water touched his skin and he quickly slept off from there.I took my bathe and secured Austin with a pillow, kissing his forehead before my head hit the bed.Sarah strutted about the mansion “Why are these men finding it difficult to pick up a call !” she yelled to th

“My son is a clingy young man, moreover the baby supplies here are a bit harsh on his skin. We'd have to get new ones tomorrow”. I replied. “Aww, so that's what he was trying to tell us,” the babysitter said moving closer to him and rubbing his cheeks. Austin chuckled like one who was not about to bring down the roof with his wailing a few hours earlier. Iskander yawned loudly, Austin seemed to watch him as he even chuckled more. “Now you are laughing at me?” Iskander asked as he dragged his foot. Austin seemed to be In good spirits for the evening as he kept smiling and wouldn't let anyone, not even the babysitter touch him.“Guess what guys,” Iskander asked grinning. “You got a secret phone for Austin?” The babysitter responded. “Haha, that will be crazy,” I said laughing. Iskander looked stunned “That's some guess,” he said “but it's not correct” he added. “Fill us in already, I'm bored,” I said. “You can't be bored In Hawaii,” Iskander said. “Yeah I thought so until the stranges

The boy looked at them nervously. "What do you want?" he asked."We're looking for information," the other henchman said. "We're willing to pay for it." He pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket and held it out. "We need to know the room number of one of the guests." The bellboy's eyes widened at the sight of the money, he gasped as He glanced around, checking around to see if anyone was in sight. Then he took the cash and shoved it into his pocket. "What's the room number?" he asked, his voice low.“That's the information we need, we have the picture of the person” one of the henchmen replied. The boy's expression turned sour. "I don't know if I can do this," he said, looking confused. "I could get into huge trouble."But then the money was too much and way beyond his yearly salary he thought and he agreed to help. He led them to a secluded part of the hotel, where they planned on how to receive the information.Felicity's pov Back in the hotel room, I got hungry and quickly orde
