Amelia staggered and was going to fall face down, her heart began to race very fast. She was terrified that her babies would be hurt should she fall. She struggled to steady her step when someone quickly reached her and caught her from behind and she gasped. Amelia turned to see who had saved her and to her greatest bewilderment, it was Lyon. She batted her eyelid to be sure of who had saved her"Lyon?" she called"Hi Amelia, how are you? I'm sorry that happened" he said with a look of sincere care and she nodded. She felt her babies kick and she scrunched her face and rubbed her belly gently and stylishly"Are you okay, why is your face like that?" Lyon asked in surprise"Yep, I'm good, it's nothing. I'm only reacting to the strain on my wrist, that's all" she fibbed"Thank you, Lyon, thank you for reaching me and preventing the accident," Amelia said thankfully. "I don't know who pushed me, but I think it was done on purpose, the push was deliberate, I felt the person's hands o
Fernandez got to his parent's house and was happy to see his mum again"Hello my baby" Mrs Tiguan said as she sighted her son from where she was. "Hello mum, good to have you back," he said as he went into his mother's arm"How are you, look at you, you've changed in these past few days," she said as she disengaged from the hug"Come on mum, what do you mean?" Fernandez asked with a little frown"You don't look like you've been eating at all," she said and Fernandez grimaced"Urgh! I've been eating mum, it's just the stress of having to prepare for meetings every day, strategising on new projects and all of that" Fernandez said. "Mmm, I still think you haven't been feeding well and the reason is that no one is here to follow up on you I know how you can be with food, you barely ever eat anything and when you do, you just break it like a bird" Mrs Tiguan mocked and Fernandez frowned again. "Really mum? I always do my best to eat my food when I can, work most times gets in my way an
"Amelia, Amelia hold up" Tiffany called but Amelia didn't stop. They ran after her until they caught up with her at the school gate"Amelia" Tiffany called as she spun her around "What's going on?" she asked "Please, I just want to be left alone, I need to go" she said amidst tears"Can you calm down Amelia, you are too upset, we can't leave you alone, come on. We know Sia can be silly, you don't have to leave just like that. Remember we have stuff to do together today, you can't leave" Magdalene said "Please guys, I don't think I can be part of that today, I just want to get away from here," Amelia said as she wiped the tears off her face"You can't keep running off each time that doll provokes you, she will keep taunting you," Tiffany said. "What exactly does she know that she's trying to blackmail you with?" Magdalene asked"Um… um… I don't know" Amelia shrugged and stuttered"Are you sure Amelia? I saw how uncomfortable you were when she threatened to reveal what she knows ab
Fernandez stood for a while watching the stranger from his office, after a few minutes he called his secretary"Send him in" he had his two hands in his pants. Fernandez had a look of displeasure displaying on his face as the stranger walked into his office. He extended his hand for a shake, however, Fernandez threw him a look of disdain"Who are you and what do you want?" Fernandez asked with a stern voice and the man quickly withdrew his handHe then tried to sit "I haven't asked you to sit, I only asked who the heck you are and what are you doing in my company" Fernandez asked with gritted teethHis face turned red as the man kept mute and just looked at Fernandez with an annoying smirk"Listen Mr, if you don't have anything important, please get yourself out of here before I call security"Hmm-hmm" he cleared his throat and pulled out a chair to sit when Fernandez slapped the table and he was startled"You must think I'm as jobless as you are," Fernandez said and quickly scoop
Amelia arrived at the hospital and went straight to the receptionist, an elderly-looking woman"Good evening, please I'm here to see a doctor" she said wincing"Are you alright?" she asked "Mmm-hmmm" Amelia nodded and forced a smile "Are you sure?" she asked again looking more concerned"Yes ma'am, please can I see the doctor?" Amelia managed to say"Do you have an appointment with the doctor?" she asked"No, I just wanted to see him because it's very urgent," she said"Um, which doctor are you here to see by the way?" she asked without taking her eyes off Amelia"Doctor Steve" she answered"Hmmm, I'm sorry lady, but Doctor Steve has closed for the day. His shift ended fifteen minutes ago. Maybe you should call him" she suggested"No ma'am I can't call him," Amelia said frantically. She leaned towards the lady "Please ma'am I'm pregnant, I went to the bathroom earlier on and I found out that I was spotting" she explained"Uh, I see. Would you want to talk to another doctor?" she ask
"Is that what you want to do Amelia? Because if you ask me I think it's a very good idea for you to give them up for adoption. Someone might be willing to adopt them. They might even pay you handsomely if you decide not won't to keep them" he said hoping that Amelia would agree to give up the kids. Amelia was dazed, she didn't understand why Doctor Harrison would suggest that to her. "Can you hear me Amelia?" doctor Harrison asked as he snapped his fingers to get Amelia's attention. Amelia sceptically looked at him "Yes doctor, I heard you loud and clear. However, I will not give my kids up for adoption. If I have to work round the clock to take care of them I would gladly do it rather than leave them in the hands of strangers who would enslave my kids" she started"Oh, I see, but don't you think it will be wise for you to give them to families who can raise them properly, give them all that they require? I mean, you and I know that there's no way you can single-handedly raise
Amelia just stood without saying anything. Her brain was communicating to her but her lips were too numb to part ways to produce a sound. She blinked several times not knowing whether to tell the truth or trying to act ignorant. She kept stuttering until Rosa shook her"Answer me, Amelia, are you pregnant" she asked again, this time her voice was louder than the first time.Amelia scanned around to be sure no one was listening to their conversation. She looked down at her fingers as she nibbled them"Can you please bring down your voice?" she said nervously to Rosa who was stunned and angry at the same time."Tell me the truth Amelia or I will raise my voice even higher" Rosa threatened.Amelia sniffled and wiped her sweaty palms on her dress. She tried to reach Rosa, however, she stepped backwards"I'm listening, Amelia, speak now" she commanded. "Oh Rosa," Amelia whimpered, "I'm so sorry for lying to you all this while. I was afraid you might judge me, you might distance yourself
Amelia stood impatiently waiting to hear from Rosa. After about fifteen minutes without Rosa in sight, she decided to walk into the building to Mr Rasmus' office. As she approached his office, she heard Mr Rasmus' voice and her heart raced. "I can't keep having her here. Amelia has been a good staff, hard-working, dedicated and committed, no doubt. However, her recent sense of laxity is messing things up and I can't put up with that. Such an attitude is bad for business.Why would she leave the company without any form of notification whatsoever? "Sir, she said you were in a meeting with a client and she didn't want to interrupt your meeting. She had to leave because it was very urgent. Matter of fact, it was life-threatening"Rosa tried to convince Mr Rasmus to give Amelia another chance considering her last record with the company. However, Mr Rasmus' mind was made up. "I'm sorry Rosa, I can't grant your request this time. I want Amelia gone not because she can't do better if
