Nicole's Pov:
I stood beside Bethel's bed in the hospital as the doctor checked her with his stethoscope.
She was still sleeping but according to the doctor, she'll be fine.
Ryan was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her hand. while his mum and Bethel's mum were also standing - hopefully.
"Double the dosage" the doctor said to the nurse on the other side of the bed and she nodded and did something to the drip.
"Doctor, how's she?" Ryan's mum asked immediately and the doctor sighed and brought down the stethoscope from his ear.
"Like I earlier said, she's fine. You don't have a thing to worry about. And the baby's fine as well" he replied and I took in a deep breath, the same time with Ryan.
"So...she was really pregnant?" Bethel's Mum asked and the doctor just nodded to that.
"She'll be awake soon and will be very hungry. So, I'd
Ryan's Pov:I furrowed my brows as I looked at him. What's he talking about? What's wrong with the baby?I was scared to ask but just needed him to spill it out right away.He looked at the paper again before handing it to me.I collected it hesitantly and looked into it. What's this?"Actually sir" he continued."it's not just a baby...but babies".My eyes beamed immediately as my lips dropped open.What??I flinched as I looked into the paper again. Then, I understood what the diagram meant. It was a scan revealing two curled up babies.Oh my God!"Although, we can't tell their genders for now because the pregnancy is still in the early stage of it's first trimester. But the most important thing is, she's carrying a set of twins" he added.I smiled as a happy tear almost escape
Bethel's Pov:I looked in amazement as they walked in. I hadn't seen her since we graduated from High School.And oh! There was someone else with her - a young charming boy."What're you doing here?" Ryan asked her immediately he turned and saw her."Please, I'm not here for trouble. I...I just came to see Bethel - to say hi to her". She replied instantly, raising her both hands in the air.They walked in fully into the room, her son beside her."Come on Matilda, let's talk outside"Ryan's mum said to my mum and they left the room together."Um...hi Bethel" Shirley cleared her throat and said."Hi aunt Bethel" her son said in a sweet tone."Mummy told me about you".Huh? She did?'Hi" I tried to smile back at him."How're you feeling now?" He asked and I was amused at the smartness in hi
Bethel's Pov:"How long does it have to take, Ryan?" I asked impatiently as he kept driving for what seemed like forever to me."Chill, Bethel. Come on" he grouse and I rolled my eyes.Well, I couldn't wait to see the surprise.I sighed and brought out my phone, going through the net.Hm."This stuff is really trending online, Ryan: Gentle Aura caught hugging a strange lady in front of an hotel" I read out the headline to him.I couldn't believe Nicole's picture was all over the net."When will you be going to see your dad?" He suddenly asked and my countenance changed."I don't know" I muttered."I don't think I even wanna see him"."Bethel...""I'm just scared, Ryan" I cut him off, calmly tho."That man tried to kill me! He'd have consciously cut off
Bethel's Pov:My sound sleep was disrupted by the sound of my phone ringing, not even my alarm. What the heck?I ignored it and let it ring to an end, but it began ringing again and I groaned out of sleep and reached for the phone which was on the head of the bed.I opened my bleary eyes to check out the caller and noticed it was Nicole. Huh? Why the hell's she calling me this early? Or is she tryna tell me.me to get ready for . school?I sat up tiredly on the bed and picked the call."Bethel!" She screamed immediately and I flinched.What the heck is wrong with her?"Oh, my gee! Don't tell me you're still asleep. Are you for real?" She beamed and I buried my fingers into my hair.I still. Couldn't get her point."What're you...""You're missing out, Bethel. Oh my gee! Ryan's back! My greatest superstar is back! Turn on the TV, Bethel. Hurry up. They're showin
Bethel's Pov:I got to the dining where breakfast had already been served for me and I sat and ate. It was bagel and cream cheese.It was so boring eating alone but I was already getting used to it, since mum had the habit of not staying at home.Sometimes, I wish my life was a little different from this.After consuming half of the meal, I stood up and left; walking out to the parking lot where my driver was already waiting for me."Good morning, ma'am Bethel" he greeted as I approached the black van."Good morning Josh" I replied cursorily and walked in, taking the back seat.He got into the driver's seat and took off.I brought out my phone to while away time before getting to school.The driver turned on the car's fm and the channel that was tuned was talking about Ryan.Perfect.I tucked my hair behind my ear and tried listening to what th
They were the most troublesome bullies in school and were best of friends and as a result of their names - Alma, Blair and Cheryl - they were nicknamed the ABC girls.They walked in with Blair in their middle and stopped at a group of four girls who were talking about Ryan and going through his pictures.Blair snapped the phone from them and the girls gasped."Blair, what are you doing?" One of them asked as she opened her eyes wide in surprise.She tried collecting the phone from Blair, but she giggled and didn't let her."Can you imagine? They're actually looking at Ryan's pictures" Blair said teasingly as she showed the phone to Alma and Cheryl beside her."Seriously, I wonder why they're wasting their time dreaming on something that can never be theirs" Alma said blatantly and Blair shrugged."Well, that's none of your business. Give me back my phone" the owner of the phone cried."You know, if I were you, I
Bethel's Pov:I gave my driver the location of the house and as I sat art the back seat headed there, he suddenly called me as if he knew I was thinking about him."Hey" he called and I breathed out softly."H...Hey. um...good day" I replied, unexplainably feeling twitchy."How're you bae? You're done from school already?" He asked and I nodded like he could see me."I'm on my way now" I told him and could tell it litted him up."okay dear. I'm waiting. Stay safe okay?""Sure. Bye"and I dropped the call.I brushed my fingers into my hair and staredstared through the window as a drove pass by big buildings, people and trees.Nicole's words suddenly flashed into my head.I don't really know much about Jackson. I mean, I just met him a month ago and he seemed really nice.He asked me out and I accepted, but Nicole thinks I did the wron
Bethel's Pov:I tried pushing him away but couldn't as he kept weighing me down and kissing me.Next; he sent his hands under my skirt and my fears increased. Jackson can't do this to me. I'm not ready for this.Without looking, I moved my hand and reached for the glass of wine on the table and luckily, I was able to get it.I took it up and poured it into his face and it inconvenienced him. That way, I was able to push him away and stood on my feet immediately."Bethel...""What the hell's wrong with you, Jackson?" I yelled angrily and brooked him from holding my hand.I nabbed my bag from the chair and ran out of the house immediately"Bethel wait!" I heard him call after me but didn't stop to look at him as I took to my heels and got to the gate.I opened the gate myself and rushed out and thank goodness! I saw a cab immediately I got to the road and I boarded it.**I got ho

Bethel's Pov:I couldn't tell why the boys tied me up after bringing me back to the room. I thought the so called boss said he didn't want me to get hurt?I was so restless and scared - and confused. What did Jackson father mean by saying I was his daughter? Was that a lie or what?Of course, it was a lie! There was no way that could be true. He can't possibly be my father. I mean, I wouldn't be here in the first place - tied up like a slave.I breathed out deeply. What could his reasons be for bringing me here? Whatever they are, they're definitely not good. How do I get out of here?Oh God! My baby.Thank goodness there was no bleeding yet. At least, it meant the baby was still safe. I just hope I get out of this alive. I hope Ryan gets to meet complete with his baby. I hope nothing goes wrong.Suddenly, the door opened and two boys came in, on
Jackson's Pov:"She's my daughter" his words resounded in my head.I scoffed and looked at him. No; I probably didn't hear him correctly.Of course.I looked at Bethel and she was holding her tummy, her eyes filled with the expected shock.Then, I took my eyes back to dad."What're you talking about?" I asked, my voice coming out faintly.He looked at the floor and clapped his hands and immediately, two boys came into the room."Take her back to her room" he told them and they went for Bethel on the bed."No!" She muttered as she stood on her feet with the boys holding her by both hands."What're you talking about?" She asked weakly, looking at dad.Dad signalled at the boys and they took her out of the room. Then, I was left with just him.&n
Lucas' Pov: (Jackson's dad)Everything is set. It's a good thing Jackson was able to take care of it. He's made me proud indeed.Now, its time to take what that bitch took from me.I smirked as I brought out my phone and dialed her line.** Matilda's Pov:Oh my God! Where could Bethel be?I panicked as I hurriedly packed my things from the table and stuffed them into my bag. I wasn't thinking straight anymore. How can Bethel be kidnapped? For what reason?I grabbed my bag and scuttled out of the office and almost fell on my way out."Cancel all my appointments for the rest of the day" I told my secretary as I got out of the office."Yes, ma'am" she replied and I hurried off.On my way to the elevator, my phone started ringing.I got into the elevator b
Bethel's Pov:I felt myself lying on a cold floor. I felt so dizzy.I opened my eyes blearily and tried to adjust to the dimness in the room.My head kinda ached.I stared upwards and my eyes ran into the ceiling.That was when I confirmed I was really on the floor.Hold on; where am I?Jackson!!I quickly sat up and looked around. I was in an empty room. What the hell? And I noticed my hands were tied.What the hell?I stood on my feet but couldn't move as a result of the rope.I felt so scared. How can Jackson do a thing like this?"Jackson?" I called, my voice echoing in the empty room."Is anyone there?" I called again, fearfully.Suddenly, the door opened and he walked in - Jackson. He walked in with one other boy who stood by the door with a gun
Bethel's Pov:The sun rays glinted on my face as I opened my eyes slowly and yawned.Gosh! I still felt so dizzy.I looked at Ryan who was still fast asleep, his hand wrapped around my waist.I smiled and planted a kiss on his forehead.Suddenly, the ugly feeling came again. Oh, GodI jumped out of bed and and ran into the toilet, throwing up immediately.It made my stomach rumble and I felt like passing out. What the hell is this?Oh, goodness. What could be wrong? Am I really falling sick?I washed my mouth and face before returning to the bedroom. I felt so weak.Ryan was already awake but was still lying on the bed."Hey love, are you okay? I saw you...rush into the toilet" he said and I panted and moved my hair backwards."I'm fine...just needed to do something" I repl
