After walking passed many corridors we finally reached our destination. The door opened and Dr. Emmanuel stepped aside so I could walk in.

There Claire was lying peacefully on the cot with the nurse standing beside the cot.

"Mr. Zidat," The nurse murmured and stepped aside as I neared the baby cot. Claire was sleeping soundly unaware of her mama passing away.

I crunched to the bed and then kissed her after I picked her up.

I felt the air change and I looked around, Susan was standing at the door. She was not angry again but sad.

Her lips moved but I did not get to understand what she was saying.

I creased my brows and she shook her head sadly then turned and vanished.

My phone began to ring and I snapped out of the trance.

I fumbled for my pocket and at it I caught The nurse and Dr. Emmanuel giving each other a meaningful glance.

Whatever it was, I don't care. Whatever it was should not bother me but something at the back of my mind told me it has everything to do

    I was panicking more than ever, I tried to think back about what had happened in the last minutes and as the events unfolded, my thoughts became more coherent. I had gotten into the car and I did not lock it up because of anger, then the sound and the crashing, and I, blacking out. That was all I could remember.Was there something I needed to know? Like was my car tampered with? It wasn't about the car being tampered with, why would anyone want to do that? I just hoped nothing happened to my baby.

    Owen came out of the bathroom and felt a strange feeling descending on him. His heart beat violently and he turned sharply when he thought he saw something. He was right. On the edge of the bed sat a lady in white with her back facing him. His hand shook as he moved towards her. She looked familiar, but for the life of him he couldn’t figure out who. He reached a shaking hand to touch her shoulder when he got to her but retrieved it almost immediately. She slowly turned towards him and as her face turned visible, she disappeared. Owen rubbed his eyes frantically, trying to understand if what he saw was real. Because of shock, he did not register her face but he knew she was someone he knew.He brought his shaky hand down then took in some breath. "Whatever that was, I am not cut out for it."It wasn’t until Owen’s breathing slowed back to normal, that he realized how fast it had been beating. He looked around the hotel room, still slightly shaken up. There were no sig

    By now we were both naked and I could feel his erection pressed against my p*ssy. I reached behind to find the shampoo and soap. As he was caressing me I decided to do something else instead. I grabbed his shaft and started stroking it. He arched his back backwards.His hand cupped my chin and gently lifted my head upwards. He then kissed me and slowly slid his fingers through my damp hair. I moaned loudly because it was driving me crazy. That moment felt magical.I wanted to stay like that forever. The shower was still running and dropping to my knees, I then took him in my mouth. He was big, he has always been big.I felt him starting to move in my mouth, he suddenly put his weight on his left leg and moaned My gaze was up at him, I did not want to miss any reaction from him.

    Zain walked closer to the bed and placed his hand on my cheek."I made breakfast, come and eat" He said softly. His voice was laced with concern and caring.I slowly raised to his eye level. He placed a kiss on my forehead and I snapped back to my senses. I still have just the towel. "What was that?! What's going on with me?!" I thought, blushing"Umm.." I trailed off not knowing what to say. He smiled at me and gestured for me to get up.I did and he left the bed and headed to my closet. I followed and stood behind him as he drew my closet open."Left for me, I would not mind if you stay without clothes," He said, turning around to face me and holding a shirt in his hands.I blushed and he chuckled"Here," He handed the shirt to me. I slipped it on and stared at him intently waiting for his reaction. "You look great but what is a shirt doing in your closet?"He smirked at me and winked.I cleared my throat, "uh.. thanks.

    Zain got to Susan's ward and got in wordlessly. He met chills and shivered. "Indeed how life snaps out of us," he thought and walked towards the body lying still on the bed, covered with a white sheet. A tear dropped from his eyes, somehow he felt he was careless and not watchful enough. That's why she had to die but what could he have done? His mind kept replaying his last moments with her. "I don't know why you have to die but this state you are in is not what is supposed. Who do you leave the baby for, Susan?"He was almost breaking down but manned up. He carefully lifted the sheet and stared at the pale face for a few minutes without saying a word. He slowly put the sheet back and turned around.He felt a presence behind him and spun around ready to snap at whoever it was. When he turned around, he saw nothing. He sighed and then left the ward.Tasha's point of view….. I, mom, and Trucy sat at the dining table staring at our breakfast. We could not bring ourselves to eat even

    Lucas!Damnit!I cursed under my breath.I actually forgot he said he was coming to pick me up. Who would remember anything else in my state? I picked up the call and waited for him to say something."Hi, Jenny! Good morning to you," he sounded happy and energetic as usual."Morning Lucas, how has your day been?"I asked in an effort to keep my tone light and happy."Great, what about yours?""I'm fine too, thank you.""That's great, I'm glad"Then a momentary silence followed"So uh.. what time are we meeting again, today?" He questioned nervously"I am sorry, Lucas but I don't think it's possible," I said softlyHe exhaled sharply and mumbled, "why?"I knew he was disappointed, no need to blame him."I lost my sister," I told him truthfully. I felt guilty each time I talked about my sister's death, she shouldn't have died but she did."I am so sorry, darling. I will come over to see you then."His voice was filled with concern. I wanted to say yes then I remembered Zain would not li

    Jenny's point of view…. The doorbell woke me up. I did not know how long I have been sleeping. The sun was almost completely covered by the dark clouds, a sign that it will rain soon. "Hello? Anyone home?" A voice from outside asked. It sounded like a voice I knew, it was no mistake that it was my mom's voice.I quickly jumped off the bed and got ready as fast as possible. I exited my room to go and open the door. The door flung open and I found Mom standing with a pale face. She looked terrible. Her hair was messy; she had bugs under her eyes. There were also dark circles around her eyes. But what caught my attention most was the fact that she was wearing a dress that I didn't see her wear for ages.She took one look at me before engulfing me in a hug. After some minutes, she released me."Mom, are you okay?" I asked, worried about how she looked."Oh, yes, dear," she smiled weakly. "How are you too?" she asked after she finally composed herself. "I am fine, mom," I replied wit

    Owen said nothing and commenced eating even though he was forcing himself to eat.Francis observed Owen, he noticed how much more attractive he looked. His light brown hair framed his oval face perfectly.Francis couldn't help thinking if there were other similarities, such as height, maybe he should ask. Owen could not stand the stares anymore and snap at Francis. "Can you stop looking at me or do you intend to stare forever?" He raised his eyebrow at Owen's remark. It didn't matter to him either way. He didn't even blink.Take a chill bro, you are handsome and I couldn't help but stare," Francis said amusingly, causing Owen to frown slightly. He couldn't believe that a guy dared to look straight into his eyes and tell him such. "Mind you, I am not gay," Owen said and looked away."I am not one either, I just like to appreciate beautiful things so don't get me wrong," Francis said, chuckling. "I see, well it wasn't me that wanted you to look at me," Owen retorted, getting flustere

    "We are with you every step of the way," Mom said after a while. The silence was threatening to engulf us, thank God she broke it. "You will have to do me a favor. In no circumstances should you tell anyone where I am. If possible, deny ever seeing me." I pleaded with Mom "It's going to be hard but we will do it," Miss Celine assured me, holding my shoulders. "I guess your mom and I had to be the one keeping ourselves company from now on. This is for the best. Just know that I will miss you dearly." She added, smiling at me. It seemed to break something inside me as tears were already filling my eyes. She held me tight, not letting go for several seconds before letting go and I wiped my tears. " Okay, guys let's go see what there is to eat?" She shouted and Michael wriggled himself down from my arms, both of them ran to her as she took them out of the room. She blew kisses to me before exiting the room "Find the kitchen yourself. You are now part of the family," Mom shouted after t

    I continued when it was obvious she was not going to say anything until I was done "It was like nature was with me, your stay back home lingered and school wasn't opening anytime soon. I was initially at Tasha's place and her mom being a nurse, she was getting closer to knowing the truth so I looked for an alternative and that's where Miss Celine came in. My spirit accepted her the moment I saw her and I knew I was going to trust her, so we told her about my pregnancy and the circumstances surrounding it. She took me in without questions. I found out she was unmarried and which I found odd. I was eight months gone when you returned back home, I had to keep lying to you to let me be at Tasha's place. "After I delivered the twins three months to my sixteenth birthday, I could not keep lying to you so a month later I returned home and three months later school was reopened."She let go of my hands and sat on her bed, "so how did they survive without you and what about the money

    I walked through the door and halted. The door was slightly opened so I was able to open it noiselessly. She was cooking and it was my favorite, oatmeal. Looked like she missed me and she decided to prepare the meal for her so she doesn't miss me much. I was just so glad she was okay, that b*stard did not harm her. I dropped my handbag on one of the dinner chairs and walked towards the kitchen, tiptoeing. She was having her back on me, facing the pot and stirring the content inside. Her hair was packed up and she had one of her favorite red long gowns on. I saw her back stiffened and she swiftly turned towards me. I stood moving and stared at her speechless. Her expression turned from rigid to surprise then to mild. She walked towards me in a flash and engulfed me in her arms,"oh! My baby! I have missed you so much." She said rocking me to and fro. I had to check my brain to remember when I saw her last and it was yesterday. How come she missed me so much? "Mom, I m

    I stood fazed for a moment, trying to understand what she said. Like, was she for real. I have not got out of the one I entered and another lady was on the line to finish me completely but looking at the offer, it was something that would favor me. She was beautiful and curvy. How would Jenny feel if she gets to know that I replaced her the day she left? It would be depressing and I think I like the sound of that. "Is that all?" I asked, smiling. She was surprised, her expression said so. I bet you she was not expecting me to agree to that. "Yeah but are you for real?" she replied slowly, raising her eyebrows at me and looking puzzled. I sighed deeply before nodding and saying, "yes.""Or are you not interested again?" I questioned, raising my brows this time around. "Of course I am interested," she responded, getting up and smiling coyly at me, "I will do anything you want and you will not regret that.""I bet I won't. The name is Zain Zidat and you are?" "Lora Leigh.""Ni

    For a moment I froze, not moving, allowing him to kiss me. It was grossing but I must admit, I kind of like the feeling but so to say, it was irritating at the same time.I slowly parted my lips and let out a breathy sigh against his mouth, I could feel Felix smiling against me.As he broke the kiss I felt a tingling sensation in my stomach. "How dare you kiss me like that?!" I snapped as I tried to pull away."How dare I!? Well, what'chu gonna do 'bout it? Don't try to escape me!" He smirked.I scoffed before crossing my arms "Oh yeah?""Yeah, you should feel lucky that it isn't me who is trying to get away right now."I narrowed my eyebrows at him. He smiled at me before chuckling.I huffed, "shut up!""Make me," he murmured under his breath before leaning forward kissing me again. I suddenly became angry and pushed him away, made to get out of the car but he gripped my wrist," I am sorry if I overstepped my boundary." He whispered.I sighed and leaned my head back on the head

    "Hi Tasha, were you planning to leave without going into the ice cream shop?" Felix asked, walking over to me. He had a plastic bag with him and it looked like he just stepped out because his sports car was parked a few inches away from the shop or let's say he was just coming into the ice cream shop for the first time today which I doubted. I really don't get it, the Shylins are one of the richest in town yet Mrs Shylin, his grandmother runs an ice cream shop. I chuckled nervously," Ahaaa! not really."I responded, scratching my hair in an awkward manner. "Let me get this straight, you had in mind to come here and at the last minute, you changed your mind because you might run into me?" He caught me right there and I didn't know how to tell him he was wrong which I know he was not. I chuckled as I nodded, "yeah, that's what it sounds like."He gave me an odd look before he turned towards the door and started walking in. "Felix darling, where did you go?"I heard Mrs Shyli

    Zain and Thomas met the trio at the entrance of the house as they were about to go out like Thomas requested. Thomas stared at Harrison and cringed, the aura he was getting from Harrison wasn't a good one and before he could understand why, Harrison spoke up. "Hey Zain, where are you going, looking like you lost your life," Harrison commented looking concerned. "I am just stepping out with Thomas, I did not realize you guys were coming over to my house." Zain said, trying not to look like his problem. "Oh, sorry about that. We came to congratulate Jenny on her engagement with you, telling you would have spoiled the surprise."Harrison said and walked in leaving them standing at the door. Zain turned to Thomas,"can we do this later?""Sure. When you are done let me know," Thomas replied, giving him a gentle smile and left for his own house.

    Jenny's point of view… When I saw Celine's call, I was relieved. It means she was safe and sound with my kids. I had to pretend as if nothing was wrong because she was this sensitive person that smells your trouble from faraway. I was sitting inside the car, parked at a stop for over fifteen minutes now with no destination in mind. I knew I was going to go home but was I ready to explain to mom that I had kids? How I was able to hide the pregnancy from her. She will be mad, so mad that it would take grace for her to understand that I did what I did because I wasn't ready to face her. "I am glad you are but we need to talk." That statement alone was ready to give me a heart attack. Though this was not the first time she had mentioned 'we need to talk' that kind of thing. It was like her every other day phrase but today, regarding what I had gone through in the past few hours I wasn't sure if they were okay so I panicked. I was worried and expecting her to talk but she was taking ti

    Zain's point of view…. The moment the door closed I went down on my knees, clutching my heart. It was breaking into pieces and I could not do anything about it. I did not stop her from leaving and I was not sure it was the right thing to do. What can I do for her to forgive me? Wasn't she supposed to tell me that she has not forgiven me instead of going this extreme and was I to hate her after everything? It was obvious she stopped loving me a long time ago and I had foolishly thought she still loved me. "Zain, it's your fault. If you had not looked in another direction, what is happening now would have been prevented. Deal with the rejection or find a way to get her back but let her off for a while, you both need your space." I advised myself which seemed like the worst advice ever. I was not strong enough to live without her, she actually gave me my ring back, wow! "Jenny, why?" I kept asking that question. This was too much for me to bear. She indeed planned this reven
