Chapter 1

Unconscious

In the quiet ward of Rehoboth hospital, lay a young woman of 18 years old. Her body, covered with gauze and bandages. Her face was unknown as her eyes were the only part uncovered with the gauze.

Despite it, her nose was covered with an oxygen mask. She had been in a coma for two weeks. But more than that, her babies were saved but they also were placed in an incubator.

A woman walked in, alongside the doctor. They checked on the patient and the doctor said “She's showing signs of recovery. She should be out of coma in a couple of days”

“Alright. Please, whatever you can, save this poor woman and her babies. Please, save her” Ebele Johnson pleaded.

How can someone be so mean as to hurt an innocent girl like this? And to know that she's carrying little lives in her belly makes her think about the level of inhumanity in that person.

“I promise you that she'll be fine. But what I can promise you is that she might not be able to heal completely and the scars cannot be removed from her body except through a surgery and the trauma, is everlasting”

“Just save her life first. Then we'll come to that later” Ebele Johnson stuttered. For the past two weeks, she'd prayed silent prayers, asking that the Almighty save this girl.

“She'll be fine,” the doctor assured her.

Two days later, Isabella Manor fingers trembled. Her eyes blinked and Ebele Johnson was dazed with excitement. She stood up and ran out, “doctor, doctor..” she called, running towards the nurses station.

Few minutes later, Isabella Manor opened her eyes weakly. The oxygen mask was removed but all they could see was a pair of eyes, nose and lips. The other parts were covered.

Ebele Johnson sat next to her, she placed her palm on Isabella's arm, giving it a soft squeeze. At the time, Isabella was not able to say a word.

Her mind was blank and her brain void of any memory. Seeing her pathetic state, Ebele Johnson turned to the doctor, “She's so young, doctor. Can't you help her?”

“She will come around soon. The shock hadn't left her yet. Give her a few more hours, she'll be fine” the doctor assured.

Ebele Johnson turned abruptly back to Isabella. She saw the helplessness of the girl and a lone tear dropped from her eye onto Isabella's arm.

She shivered, turned her gaze on the drop of tear and she jerked up, like someone waking up from a slumber. She suddenly became frightened.

“Excuse me ma'am” the doctor said, coming over quickly and the nurses helping Isabella stay calm. She might act violently as her only means of survival to the last bit of memory she had before going into a coma.

The young woman remembered what happened to her but looking around, she saw herself surrounded by a team of medical personnel.

“Where am I? My babies…” she screamed weakly, grabbing the doctor's arm with great difficulty and using the other hand to caress her now flat belly, trying to raise herself.

“Your babies are fine. Just calm down” the doctor assured her.

***********

Five years later, Isabella Manor came back to her foster family. She drove first to her parents graveyard and stood before it in a long black dress.

“Mom, dad, I missed you both. Words can't express how much I missed you” Isabella Manor choked, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Her parents were murdered by her uncle. It's a conspiracy that was so knitted that until the day that Jeniva exposed that secret, she never knew she was living with her greatest enemies.

The memory of what happened five years ago flashed through Isabella's heart. Her dear cousin Jeniva, two years older than her, had taken her out to take a breath of fresh air, at least, that's what she said.

She had remained indoors after her belly started protruding. Her uncle had told Alex that they couldn't get married until she clocked 18 years.

And from the way things are, she would be 18 years a month before her expected due date of delivery. Hence, she and Alex were expecting their baby, so she thought back then.

At seven months gone, a month before her 18th birthday, her cousin Jeniva took her out. She claimed to be taking her out on a ride in her car. But quickly asked her to apex her signature on a form briefly.

The innocent and naive her didn't think twice nor did it cross her mind to read through the document. She signed it and slipped into Jeniva’s car.

Jeniva got a drink and casually offered her “drink something for the babies” she said, smiling broadly. She was happy, Jeniva was looking after her and her unborn babies.

After taking the drink, she soon began to feel sleepy. She blamed it on pregnancy hormones and pleaded with Jeniva that she would just have a quick nap.

“You can take forever, isn't that what I wanted?” Jeniva mumbled. She found her cousin's words weird and she asked “What did you say?”

“Oh, I mean you can relax, I'm here with you” Jeniva had responded. But somehow she perceived a sinister tone in Jeniva's words, but dismissed it.

When she would open her eyes later, she found herself in an empty old house. She was tied to the pillar of the house and her protruded belly was not spared.

She was breathing with difficulty and before her stood Jeniva, smoking and puffing the smoke of her cigarette onto her face.

Cough cough cough. She was choking but it doesn't seem like Jeniva cares if she choke to her death or not. Why is Jeniva staring at her maliciously and why was she being tied?

“Jeniva, help me. Untie me quickly. I'm choking and feeling pain in my lower belly..” she pleaded. At the time, she hadn't fathomed that the devil she was asking for help was actually the one who tied her.

Rather than help her, Jeniva bursted into a devilish laugh…

A new identity
Jeniva puffed the smoke of her cigarette into her face again and laughed hysterically “did I go through all these efforts just to come here and untie you?” She inquired and bursted into laughter again. She was acting evil and her eyes were emitting fierce bitterness and hatred. She(Isabella) was scared. She tried to unite herself, putting all her efforts to it but Jeniva came closer and said “how about I help you” And slashed her cheeks with a knife. She screamed and shivered. Blood was gushing and that instant,she knew evil was about to befall her. Will she be able to get out of this alive? What has come over Jeniva, why is she hurting her? They've been sisters all their lives. What happened now? “Jeniva, why are you hurting me, what did I do wrong? We're sisters, please don't hurt me” she'd pleaded but the she-devil turned a fierce glare at her and asked “Who is your sister? You must be dreaming. You'd better wake up from your dream land. You and I were never

Saved a man
Isabella Manor put on her black shade and walked away in her black dress, out of the cemetery. She got to her car and slid in. As she drove out of the cemetery, a man jumped in front of her car and she pulled the brake so quickly that it made a screeching noise. The man ran over quickly to her side, holding a certain part of his chest. He tapped on her window and she rolled it down and bellowed “You jerk!...” She was going to advise him to jump into the lagoon and have a peaceful suicide death rather than hang the guilt of it on her heart. But paused, as she saw that the man was bleeding from his head. “Save him, I've been shot and stabbed..” the man said. Isabella remembered what it's like to be stabbed. She immediately unlocked the back door and said “Hop in” the man was now finding it difficult to walk upright and with difficulty, he dragged himself into the car. But his pursuers sighted them, just before Isabella Manor drove off. They got into their car and star

A toast
As she passed the threshold, she heard her mom Ebele Johnson scolding her kids “You successfully hacked into someone's private chat and exposed her secret affairs?” She scolded. “We're sorry, grandma, she's a bad woman. She's also mean” Nathan replied, gazing down and fondling with his fingers. “Fine. You are sorry but her engagement has been called off. She'd been with this guy a few years already” Ebele Johnson cautioned. The two boys didn't say anything else. They simply bowed their heads showing total remorse for their deed. They saw their mummy's diary and saw where she wrote her name. She tried to murder their mommy. And at the time, she was pregnant. But who was she pregnant with back then? Did she give birth to the baby? Well, whatever. Nathaniel raised his head and saw their mom came in. He tucked on his brother and quietly they slipped away from the sitting room unnoticed. “Hi mommy, are the kids at it again?” Isabella asked, sitting leisurely o

A new secretary
The next morning, Fiona Johnson got ready for work. She's officially going to resume at her place of work that morning and she got dressed in a blue pantsuit and made her hair into a high ponytail. She has been hired to work as the personal secretary to Lan Keith, the CEO of the Keith corporation. It's a sensitive position which means she will have to always be around the CEO. As Ebele Johnson saw Fiona, her heart filled with an unexplainable feeling of excitement. How fortunate for her to see a miniature of herself in Fiona. She had never thought that a day like this would come, when she would see her face in a younger woman. But seeing Fiona has filled the vacuum of childlessness she had carried for many years. And to know that she has grandchildren as well. The day she found a daughter was the same day she had grandchildren. Being a mother and a grandmother at the same time, makes her count herself as one of the luckiest women in Florida and the world at large.

Not all
Alex Foster couldn't believe his ears. He sulks at the words of Jeniva and her manager. Has he been a fool all these years without knowing it? “What?” Her manager exclaimed. When she saw Alex walk in, it was too late to tell Jeniva to be quiet. But what she didn't expect her to say was the smelly words she blurted out. A man old enough to be her father fucks her better than her fiance and that's why she kept going to him to grease her pussy? Just what kind of a senseless model is Jeniva? More than anyone else, she knew she got to such height within the shortest time because she adopted the use of short cuts. She would give her body to the superiors and they would recommend her for new jobs. When she goes for auditions, she uses her body to win the favour of the judges and managers of the companies and the decision and selection would always end in her favour. She'd thought Jeniva was smart. Just what kind of idiot is she? Now, her career is in jeopardy and all s

A second Favour
She was captivated by his body. Despite being hairy, she still could distinctly identify the six pack chest but then, a part of it was covered in gauze and bandages. She felt her body shiver. She didn't look away in order not to give the impression that she's naive. She swallowed hard, a desire surged within her, she felt her vulva pulsating. How could she be acting like a teenager? She doesn't have a thing for men and the last time she knew she had a thing with a man, she has no memory of it. She'd waited to consummate her union with Alex despite claiming he took her for the first time while they drank that night at the party. She didn't know he was lying, a lying bastard that he is. Serves him right that Jeniva has shown him her true colours. A bunch of betrayals. They will pay for what they did to her and the whole Manor family will pay for what they did to her and her parents. “When you are done admiring my body, get down to work” Lan Keith smirked. He kn

Meeting the boys
He went to see the school management as a philanthropist. Lan Keith visited their school, it's a dream come true. The management welcomed him and took him round the classes. He promised to make donations and offer scholarships to good pupils. The principal and teachers were excited to have such an important figure visit their school. Then he went to kindergarten. He saw two identical boys, and he was immediately attracted to them. They're so cute and he feels he knows them. He squatted and held them both to himself. He smiled and when the boys smiled back at him, he squinted. When they smile, they look like him when he was young. But then, their facial looks were not anything like him. Actually the boys look very much like their Mom, they have the face of Isabella Manor and not Fiona Johnson. Superficially, when you glance at them, they look nothing like Fiona Johnson. Only those who knew Isabella Manor's looks will recognise them as her sons. “What's you

A pig?
Jeniva's eyes widened in disbelief. It can't be Keith Cooperation right? That's her last hope. That's where she's still hoping to keep her in the industry. If the contract got terminated, she would fall very low and definitely sustain emotional injury. The height she had maintained in the society and industry is at the top and whatever makes her go down, she's not going to end well “Keith cooperation also calls for termination of the contract. The boss requested to see you immediately” her manager concluded and hung up. Her complexion turned pale and she sniffled. It's enough for her parents to guess the information passed to her. “You made us lose face, Jeniva,” Maria Manor chided. She cannot deny the fact that Jeniva played an important role in them getting wealthy. But she can't make them lose dignity along with it. “It's more convenient for you to lose face than me losing my career and falling into the abyss. The last string I'm holding onto has just been

A feeling of familiarity
Her complexion turned ashen. This is the height of it. She's there to see the CEO and ask him to cancel the termination but all she'd been getting are heap upon heap of humiliation. Fiona Johnson smirked. A senseless model, a stupid celebrity. How come she'd been able to climb the ladder so fast with this gullible attitude of hers. As Jeniva glared at Fiona Johnson, she squinted. Why is her back view familiar? She'd lived with Isabella too much to recognise her from afar. Wasn't she eaten up by the fishes? Despite being furious and the chuckling sounds from the CEO's bodyguards, something else was troubling her. No, she had fallen unconscious when she threw her into the river. There's no way she can get out of it alive and come back to be this beautiful. Fiona Johnson turned almost immediately and replied “Tell me, morally speaking, aren't you worse than a pig?” She demanded. “How dare you…” she raised her hand to slap Fiona but the latter grabbed her w
