Becca's bag fell from her hands as she opened the door and met one of the familiar shocks of her life.
Octavia? In Khalid's bed? Again???
Goodness!
Her eyes glinted and her head spun as she stared at her. Although, it's soemthing that's happeed before - finding the b!tch in Khalid's room. She just never expected to see it on her first arrival.
"What the f**k are you doing here?" She snarled as she left her bag on the floor and moved closer to her on the bed.
And... hold on. She was actually wearing Khalid's shirt!! It was...
It was Khalid's shirt!!
Awe filled her eyes as she stopped walking and stared at her, unable to believe her eyes.
Octavia who had been feeling a little dizzy suddenly let go of it as she was taken abacked by the witch's presence.
Becca was back?? But why? Why now?
&
Octavia felt so uncomfortable as she returned back to the room. Her head was heavy, her waist aching, her legs weak. She couldn't really explain it, and she was hungry as well. She got to the room, but Mica wasn't in and she couldn't go all the way to the kitchen to get some food. Oh God! What does she do? She fell on the bed and went into a light slumber,, her hand on her tummy. Even in her sleep, she felt worried as something in her guts kept telling her a great danger was coming her way - to her baby. Something kept reminding her of how impossible it was to birth a child in the clan, and for someone like Khalid. Khalid had only agreed to support her because Leo said the baby couldn't be removed. But what would happen as soon as she puts to bed? What would become of her? Khalid was a man of too many responsibilities and and couldn't imagin
Everything seemed like a perfect plan to Becca already. Yes! She was going to make the b!fch lose her baby the same she made her lose hers. She was going to make her lose hers evenly and that way, she'd be sure she didn't have any leverage against her. That way, she'd be sure she didn't have anything to pin on Khalid.She smiled to herself.Well, since the girls were already putting the plan in motion, she needed to put hers in motion as well by staying with Khalid. That way, he wouldn't have to move around and notice what was going on. And also, he wouldn't have a reason to suspect her.*She walked into the room and found him at the balcony, just staring into space. Hmm. A thought niggled at her.And thinking of it...she hadn't even given him a warm Welcome since her return. Yeah, all thanks to that b!tch.She smiled as she rushed into the bathroom, took off her clothes and
"Hold her carefully! Be careful with the legs!" Mica yelled as two boys rushed Octavia towards Leo's room.The floors were getting mapped with blood as they ran and the whole thing was driving Mica nuts.Octavia kept groaning and almost turning even as the boys held her. Her hands were on her tummy the whole time."Help me...Help me..." She muttered unconsciously, her weak hands holding her tummy.Her face was wet and Mica couldn't understand if they were tears or sweet. She just couldn't understand.They approached Leo's room and the door went open even before they got there. Leo stepped out immediately."Good f**k! What the hell happened?!" He yelled in fright, but there was not time to explain as they ran pass him, taking Octavia into the room."Lay her carefully" Mica said as they made Octavia lie on the bed, b
Octavia had gone back to sleep a short time after her dazed conversation with Khalid. And as soon as she was asleep, Khalid left,telling Leo to update him on her condition - if there should be any updates.**Octavia had slept for a really long time and the next time she went awake, Mica was the one on khalid's seat."Octavia" Mica called calmly, placing her hand on her shoulder. "You're awake. Can you hear me?"Octavia shut her eyes and opened them again. Her head was feeling lighter than it was. Meaning she was feeling a little better."Khalid..." She called, staring at the seat."Yes. And Octavia, you were making a big mistake a while ago. You called him by his name. That should never have happened" Mica said quickly.She'd been dying to bring up the topic.Octavia's brows arched."Did
Becca's anger knew no bounds as she watched Mica walk away.The hell! That was the first time Mica was ever talking back at her. Although, she's known Mica to be fierce and stubborn in the camp, but she's never disrespected or spoken back at her. So, why this?Anger vibrated through herShe took some steps forward and found her standing in front Khalid's room. Was he going to let her in? He said he didn't want to see anyone, right? So definitely, she should be sent away and on her way back, she was going to pull her away and give her a strict warning need to think of threatening her - ever again.She watched as Mica spoke with the guards. Next, Santa walked in and by the time he returned, he ushered Mica to go in.Whaaat???Becca's eyes dimmed. What the heck??!? How could they...How could they let her in when she wasn't allowed to?&n
Becca stood in front of the window in the room and couldn't believe her eyes.Khalid and Octavia? Going out - alone?Where were they going to?"Pamela?" She called her friend who was standing behind her "What do you think is going on? Where's Khalid taking her?"Pamela was confused and didn't know what to think."Um...Myabe... to the hospital for a proper checkup? I heard Leo had recommended she was takn to the hospital for an X-ray so they could confirm if the baby was still alive, or dead". She found something to say, but the reply wasn't pleasing to Becca at all.Why was this lady trying to ruin her happiness in the camp?Long before she arrived, she'd been so happy with Khalid. Despite the fact he could he grumpy at times, at least, she was still the only one in his heart. She was the only lady that could be seen beside her.
Octavia could feel a bile feeling creeping into her chest as she stared at them."My name is Kiara"? Really? Some ladies really have no shame, do they?She thought angrily.She took another bite from the meat and watched them.Khalid stared at the lady who was obviously bluhsing in front of him."Okay? And what do you want?" He replied to the fact that she told him her name was Kiara."Oh! Nothing! I...I just..." She paused and giggled. "I just came over with my friend to get some fruits and... I kind of noticed you. You're looking so handsome".Hn?? Octavia's brows knitted.""You know .." the lady continued. I'm kind of new here in the city and to be honest, you're the first handsome dude I've seen so far. The rest just keep looking like rams" she paused and laughed again.Octavia
She leaned forward and pecked her lips.It happened in less than a second as she had quickly withdrawn back, placing her hands on her chest.She didn't want to look at Khalid, so she took her gaze elsewhere. But she did it! She kissed him!Huh? She felt her heart playing rhythmetical beats."Octavia" Khalid's cold voice called, and they sent shivers down her spine."What was that for?"She bit her lower lip as she stared down at the floor. Was it really a bad idea? But she couldn't help it, she had always wanted to know what it'd feel like kissing him, having to feel his soft lips on her."I'm sorry...Master" she muttered. "it won't happen again'.Something in her guts told her he might get mad at her, but she waved it aside, assuring herself with the promise he made that he was never going to ge
"My baby... Khalid!" She wouldn't stop whining and Khalid, being the first of it's kind, could hardly comprehend what to do.Could it be possible it was time for delivery? Then, she needed to be taken to the hospital, right?She was still standing with her legs spread apart, like she was scared to bring them together or something."Octavia...Come here. Come here" Khalid cooed as he drew closer to his chest and wrapped his hand around her."Khalid...!""Santa? Draco? Who's there??" Khalid calmed out and the door opened immediately, revealing Santa."Mast...""Get the car ready! Now!" Khalid cut him off with a command and without hesitation, Draco turned and ran off.Octavia was still whimpering, fidgetting with Khalid's shirt and suddenly, an unexplained pain like ménstrual cramps hit so
Khalid turned slightly to look at Octavia, then turned back to face the judges."Really?" He scoffed. "And did you ever stop to wonder what the reason behind her actions was?""Whatever the reason, Khalid, it doesn't matter anymore. She broke a rule and must be punished for it". Another answered."Speaking about rules..." Khalid bent his head and moved a step. "only the current leader can".Master Klaus stared at him suspiciously."If that's what you want" one of the judges replied and turned to the Next man beside him."Get Tha...""Thaddeus stopped being the acting leader the moment the elections started. His tenure's expired already and right now, we don't have a leader to pass a judgement. So... I'd suggest you move on with the coronation and give us a new leader already" his lips pushed slightly with a smirk.&
Octavia laughed hard as Khalid twirled her around in his arms. She clutched him tight, holding onto him like her life actually depended on him."Hey..." Khalid cooed and managed to put her down on her feet, then cupped her chin in his hands."You did it" Octavia muttered, staring directly into his dark eyes."You're alive"."No. You did it" replied answered with a light smile and crashed his lips on hers.It was a snogging kiss, tempestuous and breathtaking.Khalid's hands were still cupping her cheeks, while she moved here to his shoulders and held him tight.The flavors of their tongues were exchanged and when Khalid purposefully give her bottom lip a hard bite, she couldn't help but give out a light moan."Octavia..." Khalid paused the kiss and whispered into her lips."What
Octavia opened her bleary eyes on the bed, her hands fisted, and her back ache."Hey" she heard a voice call and turned her head slowly to see Sapphire sitting close to her."You're awake. How're you feeling?"Octavia arched her brows and tried recalling what had happened.Sapphire...She'd cut her wrist open, but Octavia was able to save her. And afterwards, she felt so weak and passed out."Octavia, can you hear me?" Sapphire cooed and touched her arm and Octavia forced herself to sit up.The memories of what had happened came flashing into her head; how she'd acted so crazy, attacked Master Zack...Goodness! Did she really do all that???And Khalid? Was he awake already? How would she know?Her hand went slowly to her tummy, caraasing the flat surface.
"Khalid?" One of the men called as they moved closer to him.They looked so surprised. It wasn't a dream, was it?"You're awake?"Khalid closed his eye lids shut, then opened them again. Where the hell was he?He looked around, the soft feel of the bed feeling familiar. And tbe voice he'd heard....The only thing he could feel at that moment was weakness and emptiness."Can he hear us?" One of the men asked and slowly, he turned his head to look at them.Some boys were in the room as well, holding a white sheet. Despite the fact he couldn't remember, he had this strong feeling that soemthing big had happened.How come he's alive? Because he's pretty sure he was so close to dead, if he wasn't already.He fisted his hands and forced himself to sit up, his entire body aching a lot as
Octavia stopped Immediately, turning back to look at her.Her eyes were heavy and red.Sapphire bent her head and wept more, her fingers sinking deep into her ruffled hair."I.... I had no idea" she whimpered, her voice cracking feafully."I had no idea Khalid was behind it, Octavia. All those while...I thought it was Tabitha".Octavia watched silentlyShe could recall the pains in Khalid's eyes when he narrated the story to her the previous day. The pains that'd hurt her terribly."For so many years,I harboured nothing but hatred towards him, thinking he was just like his father" Sapphire continued."And when I heard of the terrible things he's done in the clan...""Khalid didn't chose to be what he is today" Octavia cut in gruffly, taking a step closer to her."He grew
Octavia panted heavily as she ran towards the road, her right arm bleeding profusely.It'd been a rough journey getting out o the camp as she had to hurt herself trying to sneak her way out.But one thing was for sure; if they ever get to lay their hands on her, she'd definitely be dead. Definitely.What she did to Zack was totally off limits and had the death warrant. But hell! She didn't care as Khalid was more important to her at that moment.She got to the roadside and boarded a cab to her destination even if she had no fare with her."Take me to St. Thomas Street. Hurry!" She yelled at the driver who took off immediately.**Mica was lying quietly on her bed when one of her room mates rushed in with deep breaths."Mica! Mica!" She called. "Can't believe you're sleeping. Do you have any idea what your sister's been do
The rise and fall of her heavy chest was so obvious as she marched angrily towards the block.Her head wasn't straight, normalcy was very far from her at that moment.Octavia walked indefatigably to the block and met the guards outside the door."Hey; where do you think you're going?" One of them asked as he blocked her way.The lines around her eyes were so red as she glared hard at the door."I need to see Zack" she stated bluntly.If the boys were people that knew her, they'd have known her voice was sounding deadlier than it used to."You mean...Master Zack?" Another chipped in, correctibly, but Octavia didn't reply."What do you want with him?""Just let me in. Its important" she glared."You need to be specific, young lady, cause we've got no time f
The following morning...Octavia had woken up to behold two eyes staring directly at her - two dark eyes. They were eyes she was familiar with, but that morning, something was different about them.She adjusted lightly, registering the fact that she was still nãked because she'd slept that way the previous night."Khalid..." She called lightly.She couldn't understand why he was just lying and staring at her."Good morning, Master".Khalid didn't say a word but only continued with the stare and fpr a moment, Octavia cringed. Hold on; shouldn't they be getting ready for the coronation already? It should be happening shortly."How're you feeling?" He finally asked and for the first time since she met him, Octavia could detect some weakness in his tone."I'm.... I'm fine. And you, Master?" She replied, but Khalid only respo
