Charles squeezed Yasmine's hand a little when he noticed her her getting tensed. They were here for her first antenatal class and she had no idea what was going to happen.“Just relax , the doctor or midwife will just check your blood pressure, weight and height. You will also be offered a blood test to check your blood group and whether you have anaemia, any infectious diseases or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), as well as checking whether you have rubella immunity." The nurse said as she led her to the maternity ward. “What's Rubella immunity?" Yasmine asked and the nurse faced her with a smile.“Actually, the disease itself is Rubella. It is a contagious viral infection best known by its distinctive red rash. It's also called German measles or three-day measles. If you're immune to an infection, it means you can't get the infection. You are probably immune to rubella because you were vaccinated as a child or you had the illness during childhood. A blood test can tell if yo
Harry finally closed the folder he's been working on since morning. It's the last of them all which means he's free for the rest of the afternoon. He brought out his phone to check his email but found nothing new so he just laid back on his seat, shutting his eyes close to think. What Charles said about Chloe has been bothering him. Even after that day at the office, they had done it again inside in car and at his house and everytime they would just pretend like nothing happened after.He could tell Chloe wanted to talk about it but he's been giving her cold shoulders which told her not to mention it. It felt unfair treating her that way but he was trying to understand he's feelings. This is definitely not love, it's just causal sex so why is it bothering him so much?A knock at the door interrupted his thoughts and he opened his eyes. “Come in." He said softly for the first time. The moment the door opened, revealing Chloe, a scowl plastered on his face. He doesn't remember callin
Nicole exhaled at the entrance of the company before pushing the door open. She never expected to come here again and yet, here she is. She needs to steal some files from Harry's office, any file would do. With her knowledge of his previous lifestyle, they can fake documents of illegal deliveries or products to bring down his company. The only problem is she has no idea how she's going to do that. Harry might not even let her come in talk more of leaving her alone in his office. She's actually having second thoughts now about all this but it's already too late. She's already at the elevator.“Well, let's see how it goes." She muttered, pressing the button and waiting for it to open. The moment the elevator doors opened, a scowl plastered on Nicole's face. She folded her palms into a fist as she glared at Chloe who was already glaring at her.“You, what are you doing here?" Gemila asked, glaring hard at Nicole. She hates everything about this woman, seeing her now just made her feel l
Gemila gasped the moment she touched Yasmine's forehead. It felt so hot.“Yasmine are you sure you're alright?" She asked for the fifth time now. She noticed Yasmine's unusual weakness and when she asked, Yasmine would feign a smile telling her she's fine.“I told you already, it's just a fever." Yasmine chuckled, rubbing her now visible baby bump.“Yasmine you're practically burning up. How is that fine? We shouldn't ignore these little things. I'll call Charles-"“There's no need calling him. I told you I'm fine." Yasmine cut her off with a frown but Gemila wasn't taking no for an answer. The blame would be on her if anything should happen to Yasmine or the baby. “Yasmine I know we've talked about me taking things too personal but in this case I can't just ignore this. You're sweating too much and burning up. I'm worried." Gemila said with a worried expression, begging Yasmine to let her do something about the fever.“You are really so stubborn. Fine you can get me drugs for it but
Gemila gasped on opening her eyes. Memories of what happened came popping up and she immediately raised herself up but found her hands and legs tied up.She wanted to scream for help but her mouth was also taped. Panic floaded her system and she began shaking herself violently with hope of the ropes breaking free. Who could have kidnapped her and why? What could they possibly want from her?She was kept in a small room which looked like a storage facility as it was stacked with different sealed boxes.Gemila suddenly remembered she had gone out to get a cold drink for Yasmine. She began screaming but it only came out as muffles due to the tape on her mouth. She needed to know if Yasmine is alright. What would she drink to calm the fever down? Did they also kidnap her? Different thoughts ran through Gemila's mind and she silently prayed the door would open and her kidnappers would come in. She needed to know why they had abducted her. Does this have anything to do with Harry?As if
Harry was just rounding up with some documents when Charles entered his office. He wasn't expecting anyone else since it's only Charles who comes into his office without knocking.“I was just about calling for you. I'm done here so we can go grab a bite." Harry said with a smile. Charles on the other hand wasn't smiling. He was worried both for Yasmine and Chloe..Harry noticed his sulky expression and frowned a bit.“Who died?" Harry asked in a mocking way.“Did Chloe come to work today?" Charles asked instead, ignoring Harry's sarcasm.“Now you mentioned, she didn't and I don't remember her taking a leave for today." Harry replied with a frown. He hadn't actually noticed Chloe's absence because of work though he had questioned why he was yet to receive his morning coffee but forgot about it the moment he sat behind his desk. .The last time he had seen her, they had an argument which he wasn't looking forward to opening again. It's best he just get rid of whatever feelings he was
Gemila furrowed her brows on seeing Linus. He looked a bit familiar but she couldn't tell where she last saw him. Maybe he's from Harry's past life or something. She wondered if he actually knew her for him to have kidnapped her.“Do you by chance know me?" Linus asked as he noticed the expression on Gemila's face. She was looking at him like she had seen someone she use to know but couldn't recognize him anymore.Gemila immediately shook her head, not wanting to give herself away.“Who are you and why did you kidnap me? What do you want from me?" Gemila asked at once. If she really did know this man before or if he was related to Harry's past life, it's better she kept her identity hidden or it might make her situation worse.“How disappointing. This would have been much fun if you knew me." Linus sighed before returning his evil grin to his lips.“I'll start by answering your last question, which is what I want from you. It's simple. I want you to cooperate with me to avoid any unne
Gemila slowly opened her eyes and immediately regretted it. The pain she felt from all over her body was beyond description. Never in her life did she imagine having being treated this way.She knew what her kidnapper wanted her to say but if she should give the slightest hint about knowing Harry, then things might get a lot worse for her. Things are already bad now, she could barely move. Linus kept beating her with his belt until she had passed out. She already concluded him being a ruthless mafian too. This is how they torture their suspects before killing them after they've gotten what they wanted and that's why she's been trying not to give him what he wanted.She had hope that someone would come rescue her, so to delay her death, it's best not to give Linus what he wants.The door creaked open and Gemila began shaking instantly. She knew he had come back to torture her again. How long would she be able to act though?“Finally, you're awake." Linus said with a straight face. G
“Is she ever going to wake up?" Yasmine asked worriedly.“She's not dead, just asleep." Gemita chuckled as they watched Gemila's sleeping face.She finally stirred, a frown on her face as she held her head.“She's finally waking up." Yasmine sighed.Gemila groaned as she held her head. It felt so heavy and ached really bad.“Make it stop." She groaned holding her head.“Does your head hurt?" Gemita asked placing a hand on her head.“Make it stop." Gemila repeated. “I'll go make her tea or coffee." Gemita said and left the room immediately.Yasmine kept watching her until she finally opened her eyes.Gemila kept her eyes open as her vision was blurry at first. Soon it began clearing up and she saw Yasmine's smiling face.“How do you feel?" Yasmine asked with a smile.“Like my head is about to explode." Gemila groaned and began scrutinizing her environment. She furrowed her brows as she couldn't recognize the room. “Where am I?" She asked with a frown.“Your room of course." Yasmine s
Charles swiftly parked infront of the building, coming out immediately to open the door for his wife Yasmine.Yasmine smiled lovingly at him as she alighted the vehicle, placing a hand on her baby bump.The backdoor opened and a ten year old Lucas ran out of the car straight to the front door of the building.“Lucas slow down or you might fall!" Yasmine called out but Lucas didn't stop until he got to the door, ringing the doorbell severally.“That kid would be the death of me." Yasmine chuckled as they both walked to the front door.The moment the door creaked open, Lucas smiled brightly before jumping into Gemila's arms.“Aunt Mila!" He exclaimed, hugging her tight.“Lucas! Oh good heavens how you've grown." Gemila smiled brightly, hugging him tight. They finally broke the hug and her gaze fell on the couple behind Lucas.“Yasmine." Gemila smiled as she hugged Yasmine gently though because of her big bump.“Oh how I've missed you." Yasmine smiled before breaking the hug.“Nice seein
It's been three weeks now and Charles is finally getting discharged. Yasmine had left the hospital to get the baby stroller Gemila had bought months ago when they went baby shopping. She returned to the hospital to meet Charles at the waiting room. “Hey." She smiled brightly as she walked closer to him, placing a soft kiss on his cheek.“I'm guessing that's for Lucas." Charles smiled as he looked at the stroller.“Is there any other baby you have that I don't know of?" Yasmine asked jokingly and they both laughed.The nurse finally brought Lucas, perfectly healthy now to his parents. Yasmine smiled brightly as she carried her baby for the first time since she woke up from her coma.Her eyes became wet and this time she allowed the tears flow freely.“Hey there little guy. I'm your mummy." She sniffed. She raised her head to look at Charles and he had that same bright smile.“Let's go home." Charles said and Yasmine bounced her head before placing Lucas in the stroller.“I wish Gemila
Gemila smiled the moment she entered their living room. It was very spacious, just the way she liked it and the walls were painted white, making it look like some heavenly home. The white sofas adorned the area along with the beautiful glass center table and the white flower vest housing beautiful rose flowers.She diverted her gaze to the artistic paintings on the wall and a smile plastered on her face. This house is even more beautiful than that of New York that got burnt down.“Where is father?" Gemita suddenly asked, bringing Gemila's attention to the present.“He is napping. Should I get you something to eat or drink?" Madam Frida asked.“Sisy would you like anything?" Gemita asked Gemila.“No, I'm fine. I just can't wait to meet dad." Gemila smiled and Gemita faced Joel.“What about you honey?" She asked him and Joel smiled lovingly at her.“Yes, I'll have any cold beverage." He said and Madam Frida bounced her head before leaving them.“She's a really nice lady." Gemila compli
Gemila zipped her box after packing few clothes she'll be needing. She sighed as she looked around her room. A lot has happened within this past months and she's happy things are finally getting better.“Gemila are you done?" Gemita called from downstairs.“Yes I'm coming down now." Gemila replied and carried her box out of the room. Gemita was waiting with Joel.“Alright let's hit the road." Gemita said with a smile and they all left the house to the hospital. Gemila wanted to say her goodbyes to Yasmine first before leaving.“I'm really going to miss this city." Gemita chuckled.“You can always come visit, its not like you're leaving forever." Gemila said with a smile.They got to the hospital and Gemila and Gemita went in since Joel decided to wait for them in the car.Yasmine was already out of bed when they got to her room.“Where did she go?" Gemila frowned and immediately went to the nurse to ask for Yasmine's whereabouts.“Oh, miss Lopez went to see her baby." The nurse replie
They immediately took him back to their suite, tying him to a chair.Zina brought out her gun, strapping it behind her just incase he tries anything funny while Cheng packed up their stuff. There wasn't any need staying since they had already accomplished what they came here for.“How said that our honeymoon got caught short." Cheng chuckled before standing up with the bag.“We can always go on a vacation next time." Zina smiled facing Linus.“You have been pretty busy this year Linus. What's your last name anyways?" Zina asked but Linus didn't say anything.“What? You're not going to talk? It's over already. All your men are in prison and so will you the moment we leave this place so I suggest you start talking." Zina said with a frown but Linus still kept quiet. He was actually secretly trying to free himself with a little razor. He was slowly cutting the rope from behind.“He's gonna talk one way or the other. Let's get out of here." Cheng said bringing out the handcuffs to cuff L
The moment the elevator doors opened, a scowl plastered on Zina's face. There were so many rooms in the neverending hallway.“How on earth are we supposed to find him in this place?" Zina asked still carrying the scowl on her face.“Do you think I brought us here to fail? All we need to do is plant cameras in every hallway and monitor it to see which room he's staying at." Cheng replied with a smile, stretching his arm for Zina.“How smart of you." Zina smiled taking his hand and led her out of the elevator and into the hallways to search for their room. They finally found it and settled in, awaiting nightfall....Gemila sighed as she walked into the court building again for Harry's second trial. She wanted to skip it as she didn't want to hear more of his crimes but she had no choice than to go as she still needed to pled to the judge to let the company stay open.“Here goes nothing." She muttered before opening the double doors, revealing the court room. As usual it was already
Zina chuckled as she watched the security footage being shown to her by detective Cheng. It was a footage of Linus checking into a private hotel.“I don't get it. Why would he check into a hotel knowing fully well that we are after him?" Zina asked with furrowed brows.“I guess he had no other choice. After all we did capture all his clan members plus he's injured. Going to a hospital for treatment wasn't an option for him." Cheng said as he covered the laptop.“So what now? Do we get a SWART team or something?" Zina asked impatiently.“We would do that but we first need to confirm if this is a trap. We'll go in alone." Cheng said with a smile.“It's a private hotel. Do you think they'll let two police detectives in?" Zina frowned.“Who said anything about going in as police officers?" Cheng winked at her but Zina was still confused. “Can you please enlighten me on the plan?" She asked with a slight frown.“We call the swart team to stand by and then we go in as couples checking in.
Gemila reluctantly got out of the car and entered into the building. Others may call her crazy and maybe they are right. She's indeed crazy. Falling for him was her first mistake and now she's trying to save his company. Love does make people do stupid things.“Good day ma'am." One of the prison guards greeted the moment she entered the building. He had a name tag like everyone else so it wasn't necessary to ask for his name.“Good day Louis, I'm here to see a prisoner." Gemila said politely.“Everyone comes here to see the prisoners." Louis chuckled, removing his hat.“Whom might that be?" “Harry Robinson." Gemila replied immediately. The man furrowed his brows at her but still ordered another guard to take her to Harry. “Follow me ma'am." The second guard with a name tag Donk said to her as he led her to Harry's prison. Gemila felt uneasy as they went further into the passage. Several prison bars could be seen, each housing one or two prisoner. She tried her best to avoid eye c
