** A day later ** The burial ceremony of Doctor Smith just finished getting conducted and those who attended the ceremony were beginning to leave the gravesite in two's and three's. Nora and Richard paid their last respect to Doctor Smith and turned to leave immediately.Nora glanced at his daughter who was crying so bitterly with a middle aged woman who she guessed to be her mother standing by her side.Rufus's parents were with them and some other dignitaries, they were trying to ease them with some soothing and encouraging words.The Williams family has known Doctor Smith for over twenty years, he has been their family doctor all these years and never fails to show up during emergency situations.They ought to show up for his burial and also pay him his last respect."Honey, you can leave without me, I have to go see my sister." Nora said to Richard as they both headed to where their car was parked."But you need to rest now, you can go see her later." Richard suggested and Nora
***"What the heck! Did she change her passcode again without even telling me?" Nora muttered as she inputted Seraphina's door passcode again but it was wrong. She sighed and decided to ring the doorbell.In less than two minutes, Seraphina opened the door and was surprised to see her sister. "My goodness! You didn't even tell me that you were coming, " Seraphina said as she ushered her sister in but Nora kept a straight face."When did you change your door passcode?" "Oh! That? Well, that was a few days ago, I just decided to change it because I feel like the older password is too weak." Seraphina explained and Nora sat gently on one of the couches feeling tired already."So what's the new passcode?' Seraphina hesitated before giving a reply, "Erm…Den…mark," Nora's eyes widened and she sprang up from the couch."What! What's going on between you and that guy? I thought you said you guys were just friends, I even saw him driving out from here a few minutes ago. What's happening?"
***"Are you sure of what you're saying?" Nora asked and Seraphina nodded quickly."Of course I am,I have been greatly disturbed after I heard about the news of his death. Apart from the message I saw on her phone, I overheard her arguing with Doctor Smith over money that costs millions of dollars. I really don't know what's going on between those duo but my instincts keep telling me that Bella has something to do with his death." Seraphina said and Nora sighed heavily."Bella might have had issues with Mr Smith before his death but that doesn't mean that she killed him. I know Bella is evil but I don't think she is capable of taking a human's life. She is not that close to Doctor Smith so whatever issues they had before his death shouldn't have led to Bella killing him." Nora defended and Seraphina looked at her surprisingly."Like seriously? How could you even side that bitch? If she is capable of stabbing you in the back, then she is capable of doing anything else.Trust no one,not
***Seraphina knocked on tinted glass windows and Melvin wind down the car window."Where's ma'am Nora?" Melvin asked with a straight face and Seraphina suddenly smiled at him."She wants you to come in, aren't you feeling stuffy locking yourself in the car?" Seraphina asked and Melvin sent her a suspicious look.Why is she suddenly being nice to her?"There's nothing to be worried about, I am Nora's sister." "I am fully aware of that. The car air conditioner is on so I am comfortable staying in the car. Help me tell ma'am Nora that I am patiently waiting for her till whenever she is ready to go back home with me." Melvin muttered and Seraphina felt the need to knock his head but she held back herself and decided to act along. "What if she wants to sleepover at my place?" "My boss doesn't want that so she must come back home with me," Melvin replied simply and Seraphina sneered.She needs to think of another way she could lure him in."It's an order from your boss's wife, she wants
***Nora arrived at the hospital and tied a scarf around her head so she won't be easily recognized by anyone. She got in as quickly as she could, her presence was not noticed because most nurses and doctors were running around.The hospital was still active and functioning well even after they lost the head doctor a day ago.Well, it's better to save more lives, if the hospital decides to go on a break just because of Doctor Smith's death, a lot of victims' lives would be lost. Even the victims in the hospital need to be watched and taken care of, scheduled surgeries need to be carried out. So, it means as though nothing happened as the workers were busy carrying out their specific jobs.It's not like Doctor Smith's colleagues and other workers aren't shaken by his death, they've got no choice but to just concentrate on their job so most lives aren't wasted.A new head doctor would be appointed soon, there's no time to waste at all. Nora arrived at Rufus's ward and went in as quiet
** A week later **"Babe calm down, do you think it's easy for me to kill my first fruit! It's fucking hard," Seraphina yelled over the phone. "I know and I understand you perfectly well, the child is also mine. I want the best for us, we would make more babies once we get married but as of now, we are not ready to have kids yet. It's better you terminate the pregnancy at an early stage, delaying would only make things more complicated. It won't hurt much if you take those pills, I love you so much and that's why I always want the best for you." Denmark said slightly pissed and Seraphina sniffed, trying so hard to hold back her tears. "Baby, I didn't mean to raise my voice at you, I am only concerned about you. I've given you enough time to make up your mind, it's been two weeks and you haven't taken those pills yet. Don't you know it becomes more dangerous if you delay, I don't want it to hurt you that much. It's just a month and a few weeks so get rid of it." Denmark said and Sera
*** "Seraphina! Seraphina! Are you okay? what's happening?" Nora demanded as her heart began racing so fast but she heard nothing else.The call suddenly ended and Nora redialed her number immediately with shaky hands."What's happening? Did something happen to seraphina?" Richard asked, noticing how Nora was suddenly acting so nervous and tense."I don't know, I think something has happened to my sister, she screamed over the phone." Nora explained in a shaky voice and she waited impatiently for her to pick. "Calm down nora, nothing had happened to her, you shouldn't freak out at slight situations.'' Richard suddenly said as she squeezed her palms but Nora yanked off her hands from his immediately."This is my sister we are talking about!" Seraphina said with a serious look and began redialing Seraphina's number because she didn't pick her call. She didn't pick up and Nora began calling her for the third time."Something must have gone wrong, she was the one who called me by herse
***"Please have your seat, ma," The doctor ushered and Nora immediately took her seat which was opposite the doctor.She actually followed the doctor to his office so she could ask him all the questions she had piled up for him.She was at least relieved that Seraphina made it, she was grateful that her sister survived death. Who knows what would have happened if things went otherwise."So doctor, what happened to my sister? Why was she bleeding so much? Was she shot, stabbed or poisoned?" Nora asked curiously and the doctor smiled."I need you to calm down first, ma, you shouldn't forget that you're carrying a child. You don't need all this stress at all, I…" Nora cut in immediately, "This is my only sister we are talking about here, she means the world to me. I would be fine, just tell me what happened to my sister.""Well, I found out that Miss Seraphina, your sister is a month pregnant and tried to terminate the pregnancy but she took the wrong pills and it was too much. We alm
**Three days later~~ A burial site ** The sky was gloomy as everyone had a mournful expression on their faces. The burial ceremony of Richard Williams was just conducted and the sympathizers were beginning to leave in two's and three's.Richard's mother was crying bitterly and few women were the one holding her back so she wouldn't try to do something crazy. Rufus moved close to Richard's grave and took a deep breath, Richard's epitaph was inscripted on the top of his grave."I have nothing much to say to you but you should have just told me the reason why you hated me so much before you died. No matter how badly you treated me, I still loved you as a brother. You brought your death upon yourself because of your stupid obsession but I would never forgive you for almost taking the life of Nora. I hope you rest well in bosom of the lord.`` Rufus said and put on his dark shades before walking away from the burial site. He didn't even bother to console his mother or his father, Richard
** The next morning **Seraphina opened her eyes slowly and was exposed to the early morning rays of sunlight. She slowly sat up and realized she was lying on the floor. She suddenly felt a banging headache and groaned loudly."Fuck! How come I fell asleep on the floor? Nora couldn't even tuck me in, that's unfair!" Seraphina said still feeling sleepy. She stood up from the floor and that was when she remembered what happened last night in a rush. Her eyes widened and she rushed into the rooms and checked for Nora but she wasn't there. She checked the toilets and the kitchen but she was nowhere to be found."Nora! Big sis!" She screamed out as her heart began racing madly in fear. "Oh my goodness! Those evil guys took my sister away!" Seraphina suddenly bursted into tears.She suddenly noticed a white envelope and picked it up, the strange guys must have dropped it off there.She opened it with shaky hands and read it aloud."If Rufus wants the life of his baby and his woman to b
*** Seraphina went to check who was at the door, she had to check from the peephole, the person was a male and he looked like a delivery guy. "Did my sister order something?" Seraphina muttered as she opened the door.Before she could say a word, a gun was placed on her head, she wanted to scream but the strange man signalled for her to keep her lips shut. That minute, Seraphina's heart left its usual spot and she stiffened, no one has ever pointed a gun to her head before. She noticed that the guy wasn't the only one, he still came with the other three guys and Seraphina began shaking seriously. The kem were masked so she couldn't see what they looked like.She wished she could mind-link her sister and tell her to run. "Lead the way!" The guy whispered and Seraphina turned slowly and began leading them to the sitting room."Seraphina! Who is at the door?!" Nora yelled, having no clue of what was going on. Nora suddenly heard footsteps and she sprang up immediately.She screamed
***"Shit! I knew something like this would end up happening!" Denmark muttered as packed his personal stuff inside a particular bag. He watched the live video of how Nora exposed him and Bella and the latter even attested to it. Right now, he is planning to run to a safer place where he would not be found or seen by anyone. He is pretty sure that the police officers are on their way to his home, that he must act fast. His hands were shaking as he packed his clothes and some other things. He suddenly changed into a baggy trousers and top, he then put on a face cap and put on a face mask. He looked at himself in the mirror and was satisfied with his look, he would hardly be noticed and recognized by anyone."I am sorry I had to leave you behind Bella, life isn't always fair in some situations. I have watched a lot of romance novels and the one if the main characters is always sacrificing something huge for the other. Maybe you're the sacrifice this time,please stay strong and t
***"What nonsense are you talking about?! Don't try to cover up what we were talking about? Aren't you ashamed to be throwing yourself cheaply at my husband?" Bella suddenly said and Nora slapped her soundly."You stupid and ungrateful bitch! I want you to tell me if I have never wrong you in any way? Why are you so heartless? As if ruining my happiness wasn't enough, you also wanted to kill my baby and hurt me. You think I don't know about all your evil deeds!" Nora screamed madly at her and Bella froze.Everyone had a shocked expression on their faces, Rufus was confused as hell."No one should interfere between the two of us! I am going to reveal all your evil deeds right here and right now." Nora said with a smirk and Bella swallowed so hard as she began sweating all of a sudden."Firstly, you ruined my home by luring my husband to have sex with you, I am sure you drugged him. The most funny part of it all is that the pregnancy you're carrying isn't even Rufus's child. It's for
** A week later ** "How was school today?" Nora asked Stephanie and the latter smiled brightly.Nora was actually on a video call with Stephanie, she has strengthened her bond with Stephanie within one week. Stephanie takes Nora as her second mom and does not keep anything from her, there's no day that passes that Nora does not speak with Stephanie."Was pretty fine, I am so glad to have known you, you're so sweet, nice and understanding." "Awwwn, I blushed, thanks baby girl, you're getting pretty by the day." "Yeah, guys won't stop flocking around but I am going to follow your advice. My academics comes first and when the right time comes, I can date the guy I like." Stephanie said cutely and Nora wouldn't stop smiling proudly."Good girl, keep making me, momma and poppa that is resting up there proud okay?" Nora said and Stephanie nodded positively. "I am still your daddy's cadet, I am still going to fulfill my promise. I am going to bring your father's murderers to book, I am
***"She has sent it already!" Nora suddenly notified Seraphina as she joined her on the bed. "I am kind of nervous, I wonder what the recordings are all about." Nora downloaded all the files Stephanie sent to her. "There are screenshots of credit alerts, I wonder what this is all about." Nora muttered and connected her phone to an airpod. She gave Seraphina one while she took the other ear. Nora took a deep breath before playing the recording. The first voice they recognized was Bella's voice and the duo looked at each other with widened eyes.The recording about the conversation Bella had a conversation with Doctor Smith where she asked him to hurt Nora and the baby promising to pay him a whopping amount of five hundred millions dollars. "What!!!" They both screamed out at the same time as she removed the airpods from their ear at the same time."Seraphina, what did I just hear? Bella plotted with Doctor Smith to kill my baby and also hurt me?" Nora asked with trembled lips as
** The next morning **"Oh my goodness! So we were right?I guess Denmark and Bella both planned to make a fool out of me, I was so foolish. I even went ahead to date him after you told me that he was Bella's Ex, I think my brain left me all these while." Seraphina muttered as she checked out the pictures of Denmark and Bella kissing. "I shouldn't even be stressing you with all these, I should be able to handle all of these myself. Just relax and concentrate on getting better," Nora muttered as she collected her phone from her. "You're pregnant too and will be due for delivery in less than two months, you also don't need all this stress. Let's handle it together," Seraphina said and Nora sighed. "So you said you guess Bella came back to the hospital after seeing the threat message you sent to her?" Seraphina asked and Nora nodded."I am going to keep toying with her a little with those pictures till I get stronger evidence. She is going down very soon, whatever stupid plans she mus
** Denmark's home **Denmark was busy smoking wildly and giving himself a handjob while watching porn on his laptop. He has been waiting for Seraphina's call since morning because she promised to take the pills he sent to her last week but he hasn't heard anything from her. "Has she taken it already and is already dead in her apartment? If that's the case, I've got to cut off every ties with her. She is so dumb and gullible so I am sure she would take all the pills just like I asked her to. I am also sure she wouldn't survive it but who cares, maybe it's time for her to die. I have no interest in her anymore. If she manages to survive in the end, she should move on with her life. I hope she doesn't foolishly come trying to look for me." Denmark thought silently as he smirked and puffed out more smokes from his cigarettes. "Fuck! I really need a bitch," Denmark spat as he continued giving himself self pleasure but that wasn't enough for him, he wanted more than that.He was still on
