***Nora couldn't sleep as she felt so uncomfortable, restless and heavy. Truly, Pregnancy is no one's mate. She can lay in her favourite positions anymore because of her tummy.Her pregnancy is just five months old and her belly is protruded like that of a pregnant woman who is already seven or eight months gone."Gosh!" Nora breathed out feeling so tired even when she didn't do anything throughout the day. She was just busy working on her laptop and eating like she wanted to finish a whole cow. She placed more than five orders and all were food, she couldn't just satisfy her huge appetite. She feels hungry all the time but this night is better except that she couldn't just sleep even after taking sleeping pills which is so wierd.Nora decided to visit the pool instead, it's her place of comfort.It's not deep so she is just going to dip herself inside it. She is not even going to swim, she has no strength to do that.She just waited to feel the coldness of the pool water.Nora
***"It's been going pretty well, we have to take it slow and steady because it's not easy to make them become straight guys. But I can assure you that after a few months of this therapy, everything will be alright with them." A lady said to Rufus on the phone and he sighed heavily.He was actually conversing with a therapist that he hired to address his best friend's issue of practicing gayism.He has been making sure they attend their therapy session and he really hopes that they can get out from the web they have entangled themselves in."Fine,just make sure you do your best. I want to start seeing positive results from now onwards," "Sure sir, I will make sure I update you daily on their improvements. Have a blessed night Mr. Rufus," The call ended and Rufus breathed out heavily. He picked his glass of wine from the glass table in front of him and gulped down the content. It's becoming harder by the day for him to be able to cope with Bella. He just can't wait for her to put
** The next day **"Like seriously? You know you can't lie to me right? You're obviously not fine, what happened?" Nora demanded from her sister and the latter sighed heavily.She was actually on a call with Seraphina and she noticed that she wasn't sounding too well which bothered her greatly."Sis, I just feel so stressed out and took the day's off so I am currently at home resting. I was actually sleeping when you called so that might be the reason why my voice is like that," Seraphina lied but Nora didn't believe her.Seraphina had actually been crying since last night, Denmark's statement broke her so much and she couldn't help but cry her eyes out.She never ever imagined that he would turn out to be like this, why did she just get deceived by his handsome face and pretentious attitude? This all started from when she decided to go clubbing even after Nora warned her against it.She've stopped clubbing since over a year ago because she gets so wasted and there's even a time that
***That one single statement from Denmark melted Seraphina completely. Her hands dropped and she stood in daze staring at Denmark with a shocked expression, did she hear him well or he is just trying to pull her legs? "I am for real Seraphina, I am in love with you Seraphina, I don't just know what came over me last night." Denmark confessed again for confirmation and Seraphina kept staring at him, her heart was busy somersaulting.It's just so unbelievable that Denmark feels the same way towards her, she knew it but it's just that he has been like a hard nut.Seraphina wanted to scream, Jump on him and then kiss the hell out of his lips but she held herself back, she was still digesting what he just told her.Denmark wondered why she wasn't saying anything yet or didn't she get moved by what he just said? He began thinking of another tactic he could use to make her forgive him so he can be able to convince her to get rid of the baby. "Seraphina, I know I hurt you last night with
***"You've done a good job during my absence. Nora told me of how you consistently checked up on her every day. You never hesitate to come over anytime she calls you for something important. Thanks so much Doctor Smith, I can see how healthy my wife looks." Richard appreciated him and he smiled brightly at him.Nora was seated close to Richard on the couch with her arms wrapped around his body."Oh, it's nothing, it's my duty to serve William's family with everything in me." "So how's the baby?" Richard asked him, "Perfectly fine, both mother and baby are in a healthy condition. I just need to keep coming to check up on her and she also needs to just need enough rest till delivery date." Doctor Smith replied."I am making sure of that, anything else?" Richard asked and Doctor Smith began searching for a syringe among his stuff."Yes, I got a vaccine that would help reduce Nora's weakness, tiredness and insomnia. She has been complaining lately of getting tired all the time without
***Bella has been watching and monitoring Nora since Doctor Smith left in the morning but she still hasn't noticed anything.Nora even seems happier and healthier, "What's happening or it isn't time for the poison to start showing effects?" Bella thought as she watched Nora from the balcony.Nora was busy having fun with Richard in the pool. It's been ten hours since Doctor Smith injected Nora with the poison but still, it hasn't started taking effect on her."She is supposed to be having a stomach ache and heavy bleeding by now just like Doctor Smith said," Bella thought silently, not taking her eyes from Nora and Richard."Let it not be what I am thinking, I swear, I am going to kill that bastard, did he fool me or what?" Bella thought as she gritted her teeth angrily.She got her phone and immediately began searching for Doctor Smith's number which she found in no time. She unblocked his number and began dialing it immediately. His line kept ringing but he wasn't picking up an
***"Oh my goodness, I can feel the foot of our baby." Richard exclaimed as he caressed Nora's protruded belly and the latter let out a light laugh. They were both having fun in the swimming pool, Nora was looking so sexy in a bikini and even looked sexier with water dripping down her body. She was still fit despite having a protruded belly. Richard was just putting on shorts, Nora was sitting on the edge of the pool while he was in between her legs, from his waist down was covered with water."I can't wait to carry him in my arms, I am sure he is going to be an adorable kid." Richard gushed as he kissed her belly and Nora managed to smile.She threw her head backwards and inhaled the cool air. She looked up at the windows of the rooms upstairs and suddenly caught a figure staring at her and Richard.She couldn't see the face clearly but she instantly knew it was no other person than Rufus, his room is situated at that spot.Nora smiled knowingly and decided to do something crazy,
***"Have you being able to communicate with her since then?" Nora inquired from Elizabeth as she took a glass of water.She was actually in the kitchen with Elizabeth who was trying to fix some snacks for Nora, she usually crave for snacks like burgers at night."Well, yeah, she is getting better, all thanks to you Nora, you've been of great help in my life." Elizabeth appreciated her and Nora smiled. Actually, Elizabeth has a granddaughter who has been down with a heart disease not until Nora intervened and cleared all the required bills and debt.Elizabeth had to stay with her granddaughter for a while because her own daughter is actually a single mom.So she stayed with her granddaughter for two weeks assisting her daughter, she just came back a few weeks back."You still haven't told me the reason why you rejected my offer. I promised you a good house for you and your only daughter as well as your granddaughter. Not only that, plus monthly allowance and also promise to take care
**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
