***"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
***Nora kept staring at the T.V in shock as tears gathered in her eyes,the scene of the truck that collided with Rufus's car popped up on the T.V and her knees grew weak."No! It can't be Rufus! No!!;" She screamed as hot tears began pouring out from her eyes. She had to cover her mouth so her loud screams wouldn't draw attention."Nora, what's the matter? I heard you scream," Elizabeth inquired as she rushed out of the kitchen. She saw Nora crying and had to rush to her immediately."Oh my goodness! What's the matter Nora?" Elizabeth inquired and Nora pointed to the T.V as more tears poured out from her eyes."Jesus Christ! Mr Rufus!" Elizabeth exclaimed when she read the headline news.Nora kept crying nonstop, she was clueless and didn't know what to do at that moment."My car keys! My car keys!" Nora said with trembled lips as she began searching for her car keys."You can't go alone without Mr Richard," Elizabeth suddenly said and Nora dashed upstairs immediately.She went to t
*** "So babe, when are you going to make up your mind?" Denmark asked Seraphina as he stroked her hair slowly.Seraphina is actually chilling in Denmark's house and has plans to sleepover. She is currently laying on his laps on his couch while he stroked her hair as they both watched a movie together on the T.VShe has sacrificed the past days to spend all her time with Denmark, she can proudly call herself his girlfriend. "About what?" Seraphina asked cluelessly with her eyes still glued on T.V, the movie was too interesting for her to look away from, she isn't even listening to what Denmark is asking her about."The baby, of course, it would be easier if you flush it out at an early stage." Denmark said and Seraphina frowned immediately.She swallowed so hard and sat up on the couch they were both on."You should understand Denmark, it's a very difficult decision to make and I am also scared, this is the first time I am going to try aborting a baby, I don't even know what might ha
***"Just take this water first so you can calm down," Seraphina said as she gave Nora a glass of chilled water.The latter took the water and then gulped it down her throat slowly, she then handed the empty glass to Seraphina who dropped it on the desk nearby and immediately sat beside her. "Sis,you know I hate to see you in tears, just stop crying and get yourself together, nothing is going to happen to Rufus, he is currently at the hospital receiving treatment so I am sure he is going to be fine." Seraphina said as she wiped the traces of tears on Nora's face while the latter sniffed.After she met Nora in front of her apartment crying seriously, she had to drag her in and then give her water so she could calm down."Are you ready to talk to me and explain what happened or would you like to rest inside for a little while?" Seraphina asked worriedly."No, it's fine, I am okay already." Nora said as she faked a smile and dried the tears in her eyes."So what happened? How did Rufus
***"Yeah, he is already receiving treatment already, I assure you that he is going to be fine so you've got nothing to worry about." Bella said to Rufus's mother over the phone.Actually, Rufus's parents left the country to another for vacation for just a few weeks. They aren't back yet, immediately they saw the news of Rufus accident, they had to put a call through Bella.Bella had to give them assurance that all is well with their son."Please do well to make sure he is fine, do not leave his side for a minute. We would be flying back tomorrow so take care," Diana said and the call ended.Bella glanced at Rufus and sighed heavily, she had other things to worry about than being worried about him.She has been waiting for Denmark's call but it wasn't forthcoming, she has texted him up to fifty times but her messages are still left unread.She just need to put heads together and clear the mess she has created, Denmark is the only one that can help her in this situation."Maybe I just
***"Oh my goodness! You're awake already, I heard some sounds and decided to check what it is." Seraphina said as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.It was a brand new day and Nora was already awake and was trying to fix breakfast."Don't you think it's too early to start making breakfast? This is just 6:30am, you should get back to sleep." Seraphina said as she yawned."Who says I am preparing breakfast for you? I have a strong feeling that Rufus is conscious so I am preparing breakfast that I will take to the hospital." Nora said and Seraphina sighed heavily.She closed up the space between them and grabbed Nora's arms,"Nora, you need to get a hold of yourself, you shouldn't allow your emotions get the best part of you. What do you think Richard would think once he sees that you brought breakfast for Rufus? He will start to doubt your feelings for him and will start to suspect that you're playing games with him. Rufus is going to be fine, you just have to act like you are concerned a lit
***"Yes! I still have feelings for him, my feelings doubled even after we got divorced, he is driving me crazy that I don't want to leave his side for a second. Don't you get it!!!!" Nora screamed silently in her head wishing she could say that loudly."Why are you suddenly quiet? You should answer my question Nora!" Richard pressed on and Nora sighed."Babe, why do you misunderstand things a lot? I am so disappointed in you for the question you just asked. Are you trying to say that I have been deceiving you all these while or what? If I still had feelings for Rufus, do you think I will accept your proposal? You should know that Rufus is now in my past and you're in my present. I am only concerned about him because he is your brother, that's all." Nora said and Richard felt convinced by her words."I am sorry I got the wrong idea, you know I am so scared of losing you." Richard said with a smile and Nora rolled her eyes."Me too," "I missed you last night, I couldn't even sleep we
**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
