AT GUN POINT

I knew I didn't have any ear issues and the voice I heard actually belonged to my father. He called my name.

I quickly picked up the phone from the floor hoping the caller was still on.

" Hello?" My heart was beating hoping that I had heard correctly, but instead, I heard the voice of a woman.

" Who are you?" Came her voice.

My heart fell, I knew what I heard and I was sure it belonged to him.

" You called me," I said to the woman because I was surprised she was asking who I was when they called me.

" Oh must have been a wrong number, I'm very sorry." Before I could ask more questions the line went dead. Leaving me more confused than ever. A wrong number? I wasn't hallucinating when I heard my father's voice, or does pregnancy make you hear things?

I slowly sat on my bed like I didn't have any more bones in my body, my legs were suddenly so weak.

That was my dad, nobody could convince me otherwise. But why did that woman suddenly start speaking? Was she the reason he left

    AT GUN POINT 2I thought she wasn't here any longer and what was she even doing in my room?" What do you want here?" I asked her again and she turned to look at me with a sadistic smile. It didn't sit well with me." He would have been mine, but you have to butt your stupid little head into our life, I would be the one to go to bed with him and wake with him, but no!...she screamed this part, standing from where she was seated on the bed. I looked at Markus wondering why he wasn't moving amidst all this noise, was he that much of a deep sleeper?" He won't come to your rescue, infact he'll be sleeping so soundly while I cut you to pieces." She said with so much confidence that for a moment I was scared, what did she do to Markus? Did she drug him?" You're just all bluff, remember the last time I gave you a taste of your own medicine?" I said referring to when she hurt Rena and we broke out into a fight." You think? You didn't expect me to come unprepared, did you? Since you're so s

    HIDING THE TRUTH The first thing I noticed when I woke up was that I felt like I had been hit by a truck, so tired and I didn't remember getting drunk last night, I had a few drinks with my dad but not enough to get me drunk.Then why did I feel this way? Like I was drugged." How do you feel?" Jane's voice suddenly filled my ear and I turned to see her coming from the bathroom fully dressed." Why would you ask that?" I asked her because I wasn't sure why she was asking me that, did I look like something was wrong with me? " You were down yesterday with a fever, so I guess you're better now." She said and I drew my brows up in confusion, fever, but when?" Here take this, the doctor said you should be fine after taking this because you would feel tired when you wake up but this would help boost your energy." I looked at the medicine she handed me like it was poison, I woke up feeling weird so it was normal for me to be cautious. " It's not poison, I can take one if you want but it

    THE WEIRD DREAM " What do you want me to think? Because every single moment you get, you try to remind me that I'm not your wife, I'm beginning to think that you're trying to convince yourself. You know clearly that I'm not your wife, must you make it an anthem?" Somehow I got the boldness to say this, I was tired of hearing that one sentence every time." What did you say?" He asked me and I quickly shut my mouth, he could switch any moment and I didn't want that." You should know your place, and that I'm in charge here so before you make whatever decision that concerns me, let me know, are we clear here?" " Crystal." " Good," He simply said before he walked out of the room and I breathed in relief.I fell on my bed with a sigh Markus was getting too hard to deal with. The ringing of my phone brought me out of my thoughts." Hey Hardin," I smiled as his voice came through the phone, we were becoming close and I liked the fact that there was someone in this world who thought of m

    THE ACCIDENT" I'm so sorry," Hardin said as he rushed to me, he took my hand, and after thanking the woman by the entrance we entered the building." It must have slipped my mind that they would request an invite to get in, I'm so sorry, you must have felt embarrassed just standing there." He said with regrets in his eyes but the angry pregnant woman in me wanted nothing more than to give him an earful but I controlled myself." I thought you said it was for all pregnant women, why did it look like it was strictly by invitation, and why are you here?" " Uhm," he said as he scratched his head like he was hiding something." I'm sorry once again but I had to help her with organizing some things." Okay, that explains why he is here." One more thing, why does it look like all the women entering here are here with their partners?" If that was the case I might as well just go home, I can't bear people looking at me with pity, that would be horrible." Absolutely not, you must not be here

    HIS DANGEROUS SMILE" I'm so sorry," She said and she quickly blocked my vision from the driver, I couldn't deny the fact that who I saw looked like my father, it wasn't my eyes messing with me, I knew what I saw.I blinked my eyes before I turned to the woman, if anything she didn't look sorry.I looked to where their car hit mine and there wasn't much damage and we were blocking the road, luckily there weren't many cars." It's okay, it isn't something I can't fix, just be careful next time." " Oh darling, it's absolutely not okay, I want to fix it." No, she didn't, she looked like she wanted to be out of here as soon as possible, she was just doing all this out of courtesy." No ma'am it's fine, and besides if we don't leave here we will be causing traffic which might attract the police."" Oh okay, I'm sorry once again." I expected that she would go into her car but instead, she looked like she was waiting for me to go first, I looked at the driver's side but now the glass was ro

    THE LATE NIGHT FEVERI just stood speechless as I watched the maids set the table while Markus walked towards me with his arms wide open like he wanted me to run into his embrace. Did he hit his head or something?He came to the bed and sat down and I just watched him like I was in a trance. " Come here darling," he said as he lifted me from the bed and walked to where the table was set. I couldn't say a word, I just looked at him in confusion, did Markus have a twin I wasn't aware of?" Markus…" Just when I was about to question what this was all about he shut me." Shuuuu.." he said as he placed a finger on my lips…" What is wrong if a man decides to take care of his pregnant woman." I wanted to scream to his face everything if that said man is you but instead I just watched him like a fool.Since he didn't want me to talk I just kept quiet and watched him. He sat me on the chair and set a plate in front of me then Markus of all people started serving me. Okay, this was scaring the

    THE ANGELSThe world around me was spinning and I felt like I was flying on clouds. I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't. I tried again and was only able to do that only by an inch and I saw people in white hovering over me. Who were they? Angels? Before everything suddenly became black again and I felt like I had been dragged to hell.I opened my eyes but quickly closed them because of the lights that blinded me and kept them closed until I was sure I wouldn't get that piercing pain when I opened my eyes.I finally opened my eyes and was greeted by Rena's guilt-stricken face, what was wrong with her?" Are…" I tried to speak but my throat felt dry like I had been smoking all my life. Rena quickly rushed to get me water. That was when I took the time to look at where I was, it was in a hospital room. Somehow someone came to my aid, I sure do have a lot of life.She brought the cup to my mouth and I took it slowly." How do you feel?" Rena asked me as she took a seat beside me. I did

    THE HANGOVERI woke up feeling like my head was going to tear and my brain would fall out, my throat felt dry because of the amount of alcohol I had consumed. I picked myself up from where I lay on the floor, picked up my phone from where I had thrown it and went out of the room, it wasn't mine, it was the room I had told myself never to enter again but from time to time I keep finding myself in there, it was the room I and Fiona shared, until she ruined everything.I went into my room and went straight to the shower, after a much-needed shower I came out and headed into my closet to get something to wear, my head was still banging so I picked up my phone to call one of the maids to get me pain reliever and water but saw that I had several missed calls from Jane, what did she want?I decided to call the maid first, my head wasn't feeling right and I needed to calm myself down before I could have any meaningful conversation with anyone.The maid brought the water and medicine as she d

    A FAMILY " Dad! Dad! save me Mom is going to kill me," Alexandra shouted as she ran up the stairs to her father like she always does." I've warned you several times not to touch the cookies until it was time to serve them" Each time I baked cookies she always found a way to sneak into the kitchen and disappear with one, she was just like her father. They were a team at taking cookies from the kitchen." Have you seen Alexandra?" I asked Markus who was seated on the bed pretending like he didn't hear me, without even getting his answer I could already see Alexandra hiding behind her father's back." No, I haven't seen her, Why?" Like always, he'll cover for her." So there's no one behind you?" I asked as I started walking slowly to where she was hiding behind her father." So who's this?" I started tickling her through the sheet that she had covering her. She broke into a fit of giggling." Mom stop," " Will you pick cookies again?" " No Mom, Dad save me already," " Okay, okay,"

    DEATH " Please I'll do anything, just let me know where my daughter is," I said to her hoping she wouldn't end the call. I didn't recognize the voice of the lady speaking." Listen to me carefully," She said and I nodded then realizing she couldn't see me I spoke." Yes, I'm listening." " Don't you try any funny business, if you do, your daughter dies." I heard crying in the background as if they were trying to emphasize their point." I'll do whatever you say, as long as you give me my daughter," " Okay, I'm going to send you an address, make sure you come alone, no police, just you," " No funny business, I swear," I said, trying to plead with her." I'm glad we have an understanding, because I'm sure my tigers wouldn't mind munching on her little flesh," My heart skipped, I couldn't dare imagine the image of tigers feasting on my baby.The phone suddenly got disconnected at the same time Rena opened the door.I almost forgot I was warned not to tell anyone the information I had

    THE STRANGE CALLERJane has refused to talk to anyone even after she woke up. We were now home. I had to call the doctor to come check up on her and he confirmed that she was okay. What was happening to her was all because of the shock.She has refused to eat, no matter how many times or what type of food was brought to her.The last thing she said was I want my baby. After that, she refused to speak.Now I was trying to get her into the house. She wouldn't listen, she had been sitting and waiting in front of the house." Jane, let's go inside, please this isn't going to help with finding Alexandra, I can't focus on you like this please," She finally listened as she grudgingly stood up and walked past me not uttering a single word.I sighed as I turned to go inside but stopped when I noticed someone walking towards the house." You've got to be kidding me," I muttered as my eyes shot daggers at him." What do you think you're doing here?" " I'm not here to see you, I'm here for my fr

    KIDNAPPED The world around me became dark, everything around me was covered in darkness like I was being cast a spell. Alexandra wasn't in her room, she wasn't with Markus then where was she?" Ma'am, ma'am," I felt someone shaking me but my mind was too clouded. The person didn't stop which made me eventually come back to my senses." Alexandra, Alexandra," That was the first thing I said as soon as I realized myself and remembered my situation." Go! Go! Tell the security to search the whole house, search everywhere, my daughter is in this house," I said as the maid quickly kicked into action.If I found out Markus was playing some silly games with me I swear I was going to chop off his balls.I went to Alexandra's room to search for her, for all I knew she might be in her room.I opened the door and rushed to her bed but she wasn't there. Alexandra was still a baby, she couldn't sit or crawl, I would have concluded that she crawled from my room to hers but she couldn't. Even if sh

    MISSING CHILDI have never pushed someone with so much force the way I just pushed Markus, I didn't know where the power came from." How dare you? What gave you the right to think you could touch me?!" I yelled in anger." What? Do you think you could just throw me and pick me however you want? I'm not your toy, the next time you think of ever touching me, know that you might lose an organ and I will not be held responsible." I was beyond angry and I needed to calm myself before I did something stupid.Markus was looking at me with shock in his eyes as if he couldn't believe what just happened, did he expect me to run into his arms like a woman in heat? He's got to be kidding me.Without sparing him another glance I ran upstairs. Did he think that just because he had the power to tell me not to see my daughter he could blackmail me and make me do whatever he wanted?I'm a changed woman, he changed me.I opened Alexandra's room and she was sleeping so I quietly walked to her. She had

    ANGER KISS I stood in front of his house as I scanned my eyes around, well it was a beautiful building, I had no grudge against his house, I was just here for him.I rang the doorbell and not up to a minute the door came open. I was sure he wasn't expecting me, maybe Jane.The look on his face told me he would rather speak to pigs than spend a minute of his time talking to me." What are you doing here?" He asked with a hard voice, I didn't care if he was sad or happy to meet me." Well is that how you welcome the father of your friend's child?" His jaw ticked but he didn't say a word. I knew what I was doing. I wanted to let him know that whatever happy ending story he had about Jane in his head needed to be wiped. I had the upper hand here. I have the child Jane is in love with and it's just because I don't want her to hate me more than she already does I would have told her that my condition is for her to stop seeing this man." I didn't invite you here, so you might as well go b

    NOT FRIENDS I looked at Markus like he had gone mad, he was looking for another way to hurt me. A few days ago Markus didn't want me near my child, so why did he want me back in the mansion? With what had happened between us I had to be very careful, he couldn't be trusted anymore because once bitten twice shy." How is this of benefit to you?" I asked because he definitely had a reason why he was doing this that he was not telling me." This is for my child, you were right, I shouldn't separate you from her just because I didn't want you, she should have her mom," Was I dreaming? Markus agreeing with me on something was something I never pictured even in a thousand years. This was all too good to be true." So what you're trying to say is I can see Alexandra whenever I want, like even right now?" I asked, if what he was saying was true I might as well go see my daughter now." Yes," I didn't need more convincing, I stood up, picked up my handbag, and left. As long as nobody was sto

    ANOTHER DEAL Without thinking I rushed to him and threw a punch at him." Markus!" I heard Jane shout but I was ready with my second punch to land on his stupid face but fortunately for him someone stopped me." Fucking bastard, you've refused to stay out of my business," I said with anger boiling inside of me. Jane rushed to him as she took her kerchief from her bag to clean the blood that was on the side of his lips. The sight didn't sit well with me." Markus, what is wrong with you? Why do you want to hurt me so much? First my child, now you're hurting my friends too, what did I ever do to you?" Jane asked with tears forming in her eyes." Jane it's okay, there's no need to cry I'm okay there's nothing to worry about," I watched in agony as the Hardin guy brought his hand to clean Jane's tears. I fisted my hands trying to control myself or else I was going to start punching him till his face was covered in blood.I promised Jane that I would always wipe her tears, I didn't like h

    THE COURTROOM I was standing in front of the courtroom dreading going inside, stepping into this room meant I had officially given them the power to decide over my daughter, I didn't know what decision they were going to make. But I was scared.With all the willpower I had I opened the door and stepped in. Hardin wanted to come with me but I told him not to, he didn't like the idea but for my sake, he just had to agree.As I entered the courtroom surprisingly Markus was already in the room with my baby girl held in his arms. Our eyes locked for a moment before I broke the contact. I didn't want to look at him, it was just a painful reminder of what had happened between us, what he made happen.I took my seat as we awaited the case to start.Soon enough I was asked to move to the front where I would stand to answer some questions, if necessary. The judge entered the courtroom and everyone rose. My heartbeat increased and my palm started sweating, this was really happening." This cou
