****"Oh my goodness, this is funny as hell!" Bella muttered laughing so hard at the comic movie she was watching so hard. She grabbed a fistful of popcorn from her bowl and stuffed them in her mouth, she then continued laughing at the hilarious movie.Bella was actually in the sitting room watching a movie on her yab as usual.Her tummy was already protruded and she would be due for delivery in the next two months. She got lazier as she neared her delivery date, she did nothing other than relax, eat, get on Nora's nerves and give orders as she wanted. She suddenly began approaching footsteps, she knew it was no other person than Nora since Rufus was at the balcony busy with his laptop which was close to where she was and Richard already travelled out of the country.She smirked and suddenly dropped her glass of wine intentionally on the floor there by spilling the contents and then shattering the object."Oh my goodness! My tummy hurts, Rufus!!" She suddenly screamed out and feig
Seraphina's face***"Do you guys know each other before?" Seraphina asked as she noticed the way they were both staring so hard at each other. "No," Nora suddenly said and Denmark smirked slightly.He took a seat opposite Nora while Seraphina sat beside him."Nice to meet you, what's your name again?" Nora asked as she covered up with a smile.She kept wondering how her sister got involved with Denmark, him being one of Bella's exes is a huge red flag. She never liked him from the start even when he was flirting around with Bella.She had always disliked him and warned Bella to desist from him but she wouldn't listen. "My name is Denmark and what's yours?" Denmark decided to play along. "I am Nora. Seraphina told me about you and how you've been a great impact in her life and I am grateful for that. Thanks for making my sister smile," Nora said and Denmark forced a smile.Seraphina suddenly felt nauseous and excused herself immediately. Immediately Seraphina left, Nora replaced h
** At night« Rufus's mansion **Nora sighed tiredly as she typed endlessly on her laptop. She was busy chatting with her personal assistant as they discussed important things to be done to improve her businesses. She suddenly got a call from Seraphina interrupting her from what she was doing."Finally, she called." Nora muttered as she picked the call. Since Seraphina walked out on her in the morning, they haven't spoken to each other and Nora decided to let her be till she calms down. "Have you finally calmed down?" Nora asked and Seraphina sighed."I am sorry for walking out on you earlier this morning, I wasn't just thinking and I was hurt that you don't like Denmark." "Let's not talk about him, you're free to make any decision you want and you're also free to date any guy you want." Nora said. She has decided not to interfere in her sister's relationship with Denmark. But if that bastard tried to hurt Seraphina or play with her feelings, she is going to deal seriously with h
***"Nora!" Rufus gasped and Nora immediately hid her bleeding finger, surprised to see him. "Why are you here?" "What happened to your finger?" Rufus asked worriedly as he ignored her questions and rushed to her. He brought her finger out forcefully even when she wasn't willing to.*It's nothing! Just mind your business!" Nora snapped at him and tried to wriggle her bleeding finger away from his hold but the pain stung her so bad and she groaned in pain. Rufus immediately dragged her to the sink and turned on the tap, he then rinsed the blood from her finger and she bit her lower lips, it stung her so bad. "We need to get this treated!" Rufus said as he noticed the cut was slightly deep. Nora immediately yanked off her finger from his hold and looked away from his face."Don't worry, I can take care of myself, I would treat the wound myself so stop worrying unnecessarily. Take what you wanted to take from here and get back to Bella, she must be waiting for you." Nora said and Ru
***Seraphina couldn't sleep as she kept moving from one side of her bed to the other.She hasn't spoken with Denmark since after he met with Nora. She has sent him numerous messages but he hasn't replied yet, it was left unread. She thought maybe Nora might have told him somethings that got him pissed and he is now ignoring her. She had called his line but he wasn't picking up, she was beginning to get worried and bothered.What if he says he doesn't want to have anything to do with her anymore? That's going to break her heart, she might go crazy and insane if he tells her that.No matter how she tries to be mad at her sister for almost ruining her relationship with Denmark, she couldn't.She just wished to know what Nora told him that's making him ignore her calls and texts. "I miss him," Seraphina pouted as she held her chest, it was racing madly as she was thinking about him."He should at least pick my calls so I can hear his sweet voice. He should try replying my texts so I ca
*** Seraphina kept ringing the doorbell but no one answered. Her face fell as she felt so disappointed, she shouldn't have just come in the first place.Is he that he doesn't want to open the door for her or he is not home or he is sleeping already? Even though he was sleeping, the amount of times she has rang the doorbell should be able to wake him up.She sighed as she began trying his number again but still, he didn't pick up. "Why are you doing this to me Denmark? You should at least reply to my messages and even return my calls, giving me silent treatment is driving me crazy." Seraphina muttered sadly. She badly wanted to see his face and also hear his voice. Meanwhile, Denmark was inside running helter skelter and trying to put things in order."Hey you! Go into hiding and don't you dare come out until I ask you to do so, put on your fucking clothes too." Denmark yelled as he pushed the slut into one of the spare rooms, he then locked the door. He got air freshener and spr
***"So how is it?" Seraphina asked as she watched Denmark eat the food she just finished preparing a few minutes ago. "Pretty good, you're surely a good cook like you said." Denmark complimented as he continued eating, forgetting that he was pretending to be sick and shouldn't eat much. Seraphina blushed at his comment, "Thanks, I guess you are supposed to take drugs tonight after eating. Where did you keep them so I can help you go get them?" Seraphina asked as she stood up but Denmark stopped her immediately."Nah! Nah! You don't have to worry about that, the drugs I took are meant to be taken only in the morning." Denmark lied and Seraphina arched her brows wondering what kind of prescription is that."Anyways, you should finish up your food, I can still bring more if you want." Seraphina said feeling so happy as she watched him eat the food she prepared with great appetite. "Nah! I am okay with these, why didn't you join me in eating?" "I am filled already, I am sure you have
*** "Your baby is a hundred percent healthy and he is also in a good position so you've got nothing to worry about. Just keep taking the drugs I prescribed for you and I will keep coming to check up on you." Doctor Smith said and Nora smiled lightly at him.Doctor Smith is the Williams family's personal doctor and has been working for them for up to twenty years. Richard has instructed him to make sure that he comes every single day to check up on his wife till he is back from his trip. "So that would be all, right? Is there any other precaution I need to take?" Nora inquired from Doctor Smith who was already packing up his things. "Not at all, do you have any other complaints?" "Yeah, I feel unusually heavy and get weak sometimes, most nights, I find it very difficult to fall asleep." Nora complained and Doctor Smith gave her a reassuring smile. "You are having all these kinds of symptoms because you're approaching your delivery date so it's nothing. You will feel better once
**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
