CHAPTER 94Felicity, come this way there's a dead body along that route and you may puke.” The woman says, as she holds me and closes my eyes until we pass through the crowd. It was the violent part of the market the woman had mentioned earlier. "As I walk out of the market with the woman, I see the man by the corner waiting for us. He opens the car door for us, and we get in. 'How was your time in the market?' he asks. 'We had a great time," I replied while smiling. "Just so you know, Felicity," the man says as he drives, "this city is very safe. There's nothing to worry about. In the meantime, I'll get your traveling documents ready, so you'll be able to travel as soon as possible." I nod, feeling a little calmer knowing that I'm in a safe place. I look out the window, taking in the sights of the city as we drive. It's a beautiful place, and I'm starting to feel a little excited about my new adventure.After a short drive, we arrived at the man's house. It's a small but cozy apartme

I turned around to see the woman and her dog engaged in another form of drama, as the sound of the explosion was from her broken flask. The agent shakes her head as she taps me lightly saying “What's your location again Ma'am?” “Oh I'm sorry, Mexico” I reply as I turn to see The man and the Woman muttering to themselves. As the agent is typing, a loud siren goes off, and a red light starts flashing above the security checkpoint. The agent looks up, and I follow her gaze. I see the woman and her dog being escorted out of the checkpoint by a security guard. The woman looks mortified, and she's clutching the dog tightly to her chest. The security guard is speaking to her in a low voice, but I can't hear what he's saying. I turn back to the agent, and she's looking at me with a sympathetic expression. "Are you ready to check in?" she asks."Yes," I say, my mind still reeling from the scene I just witnessed. "I'll need your ID and your boarding pass," the agent says. I hand her my ID and

"The special of the day is a traditional dish called shawarma," Iskander says. "It's meat, vegetables, and sauce, wrapped in a thin flatbread." "That sounds delicious," I say. "It is," he says. "And it's very popular here. Everyone loves it." "I can see why," I say, as the waiter brings our food. I take a bite, and my eyes widen. "This is incredible!" I say, taking another bite. "I'm so glad you like it," Iskander says, with a smile. "There's so much more to try. As we finish our meal, Iskander asks if I'd like to take a walk through the city. I nod, and we head outside. We walk along the busy streets, and I see people selling everything from food to souvenirs. I'm fascinated by the vibrant colors and sounds all around me. "What would you like to do next?" Iskander asks. "I'd love to see a local market," I say. "I hear there's a great one not far from here." "There is," he says. "And it's full of interesting sights and smells." We walk a few blocks, and then we turn down a narrow a

I try to wriggle myself out of his grip when a sports car drives swiftly past us. I realized he had just saved me from an accident. I feel sorry for myself and for him. “I'm sorry, I…” I stutter and then he smiles at me saying “You don't have to apologize, just be careful next time, these kids drive recklessly “. I nod my head and feel my baby kick. Suddenly I remembered an important question I wanted to ask Iskander as he spoke about my housing earlier. "I need your help," I say. "I'm looking for the nearest hospital. Can you help me find it?" "Of course, there's even one very close to your new apartment," Iskander says. He looks at me with concern in his eyes. "Are you okay? Are you sick?" "I'm not sick," I say. He looks at me confused and tries scanning my face to see if I'm lying."Well, Iskander," I say, feeling a little nervous. "The truth is, I'm quite far along. I'm 7 months pregnant." Iskander's eyes go wide, and his mouth drops open in surprise. "7 months?!" he says. "Why

And I love how they always seem so happy to see you, no matter what." "Dogs are amazing," Iskander yells like a three-year-old. The hospital is less busy as it's late in the night and the workers turn to our direction as his voice echoes across the hall.Speaking of dogs," I say, "I had a funny experience with one at the airport today." Iskander's eyebrows go up, and he says, "Oh? Do tell." I tell him about the woman with the barking dog and how it started licking her face. By the end of the story, we're both laughing so hard, we're doubled over. "That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time," Iskander says, wiping a tear from his eye. "Do what must have happened to the woman and her Dog?"“I wish I knew, but maybe something's better left I'm in suspense,” I say as I shrug the thoughts off. “Anyways do you have any other funny stories” Iskander who seemed to have enjoyed the dog story asked raising his eyes like a puppy? “None I can remember for now” I reply putting on a fake

In the next class, the teacher begins to talk about the different stages of labor, and I try to listen carefully. But my mind keeps wandering back to Iskander. I can't stop thinking about our conversation and how easy it was to talk to him. He seems so understanding and caring, and I feel like I can trust him. I try to push these thoughts out of my head and focus on the class, but it's not easy. "What do you think about what the teacher is saying?" Iskander asks me softly. His question startles me, but I'm glad for the distraction. "I think it's all very interesting," "I'm glad you're finding it interesting," Iskander says. "I know this can be a lot to take in. It's a lot to think about and prepare for." I nod, grateful for his understanding. "It's a lot to process, for sure. But I'm glad to have the information, so I can be prepared." Iskander smiles at me. "I think it's great that you're taking this class, and learning as much as you can. It shows that you're taking your future ser

Suddenly, Iskander's phone rings. He glances at the screen and his expression changes. "I'm so sorry, but I have to take this," he says. He gets up and steps away from the table, answering the call. I try not to feel disappointed, but I can't help but feel a little bit let down.I turn my attention back to the window, watching the sunlight play on the leaves outside. A few minutes pass, and Iskander returns to the table. "I'm sorry about that," he says. "It was an important call." "It's okay," I sayAs Iskander and I walk back to my apartment, we pass by a street vendor selling paintings. Something about the artwork catches my eye, and I stop to take a closer look. The paintings are colorful and vibrant, depicting scenes of everyday life. I'm drawn to one painting in particular, which shows a woman walking through a bustling city, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But the woman is calm and serene, surrounded by a halo of light. I can't help but feel a sense of peac

Before I could finish my sentence, a scream pierced the air, as I spun around to see one of the men in black had rushed towards us, grabbing the artist by the arm and holding a knife to her throat. "Don't move, or I'll cut her!" he snarled, his eyes wild. "You'll do as I say, or she'll be harmed!" The artist was trembling, tears streaming down her face. I didn't know what to do. I had to protect her, but I didn't want to risk her getting hurt. I was frozen with fear, unable to act. Just then, the man's phone rang. He quickly answered, his eyes never leaving me. "I've got the girl," he said into the phone. "I'll bring her in." He hung up the phone and began to drag the artist away. But then, to my shock, he suddenly let go of her and started running away. "Run!" I yelled, and the artist took off in the opposite direction, her feet pounding on the pavement. I was about to run after her when I heard a shout behind me.I turned to see another man in black, running towards me. I tried to

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
