THE LIE Episode 4
I opened my eyes blearily and the first blur sight I caught was the ceiling.I shut my eyes and opened them again and my vision became more clear.The scene was different -Iike that of medicines and all that.“Zoey?” I heard a familiar voice and turned to see mum sitting beside me.“Mum?” I called weakly and her eyes beamed“Oh, my! You’re awake! You…are you okay? I’ll get the doctor” she giggled and hurried out of the room before I could say a word.I looked at at ceiling again and tried sitting up – and I did.What the hell happened?My head kinda ached as I tried to remember.The lady! The wounded lady! What happened to her? And how come I passed out?Mum came rushing in with the doctor not long after.“Please doctor; how’s she?” She asked even before he got to touch me.He brought out his stethoscope and placed it on my hand and chest.“She’s fine, ma’am. I told you. There are no physical injuries. So, you have nothing to worry about” he turned to mum and said and she heaved a hug
THE LIE Episode 5
“Zoey? Zoey?” I heard her voice deep in my slumber and jerked my eyes open.“What is it?” I bemoaned as I tried forcing my eyes open.“Zoey! Wake up. You’ve been sleeping for hours now. Come on” she tapped me and I forcefully woke up.I yawned and sat up on the bed.“Oh mum! I’m feeling so dizzy!” I grumbled as I itched my eyes.“Zoey, are you sure you’re fine? You’ve been sleeping a lot lately and why’s your temperature high?” She asked and I looked at her.“I really don’t know,mum. I’ve…I’ve been feeling sick lately. But I think it’s the weather. Um….are you done cooking? I’m so hungry”“Huh? Are you kidding me? You ate over 10 cupcakes before you slept. How can you possibly be hungry?”“Oh…mother, I’m…”“Anyway, there’s someone here to see you. He’s waiting outside”I furrowed my brows and looked at her.A he?“Who’s he?” I asked curiously because I wasn’t expecting any visitor.“I didn’t get his name. Go on and you’ll see him” she replied and left the room..I thought. Who could t
THE LIE Episode 6
I felt so cold and shivery. Where was the doctor? Why's he taking so long?I sat with mum in the doctor's office as we awaited the doctor to show up with the test results. I just hope I get diagnosed and treated soon. I really need to get rid of this weird feeling."He'll be here soon, okay?" Mum placed her hand on mine and said and I just nodded we were facing each other as we sat.Finally, the door opened and I heaved a huge sigh of relief as I turned to see the doctor coming in.Thank goodness.He looked moody as he walked in slowly and went to the other side of the table to take his seat."Sorry for keeping you waiting", he spoke calmly and adjusted his glasses.He had a piece of paper with him - probably the test results."Oh! It's nothing" mum quickly said."Please doctor, how's she? What's wrong with her?"He hesitated for a while and dropped the paper on the table."Well.." He took off his specs."The...test was successful and the results are out".He paused and sighed. Hold
THE LIE Episode 7
I knocked weakly on the door, hoping she opened up soon because I wasn't sure of how much longer I could stand.More tears streamed down my cheeks and I wiped it off with sniffles.After a while, I heard the door open and I took in a deep breath of relief."Zoey?" She called, surprised to see me."Mandy" I winced and busted into more tears.She stared at me shocked for a while."Wh...What's wrong? Why re you crying?" She asked but I couldn't say a word as I just buried my face in her chest like a baby."Thank you" I muttered as I handed the empty glass to her after gulping the cold water.She kept the glass on the table and came to sit beside me on the bed.She sighed."So...the doctor said you're pregnant?" She asked."Yes, but I swear, that's not true" I replied, raising my voice a bit."I swear with my life Mandy; I've never had s*x. I don't know what he's talking about. I can't be pregnant without s*x".She kept mute for a while."But...you've been having the symptoms of pregnancy
THE LIE Episode 8
Oh God! This sounds insane. But it's the truth. Its the only possible explanation to this story."Zoey?" Mandy called with a scoff."Are you alright?""I swear Mandy; I know what I'm saying. How else can a lady get pregnant without having sex? We have the medical way which is surrogacy. And aside that, what other way could there be? The spiritual way!"That night, when I was with the lady, she had said something about her baby. She was scared and said things like *my baby. Please save him. I can't lose him*"And next, she held my wrist and said some strange words like...like an enchantment. I felt different and even my wrist turned red and that was when I passed out. And the next morning, the strange symptoms began." I explained, rushing my words.She stared at me, stunned like I'd run mad."Please Mandy, believe me. It has to be the only explanation" I said, panting heavily.She scoffed and folded her lips."So....you're tryna say you're pregnant with someone else's baby?" She asked.

He noticed me and turned to look at me and our eyes met.He quickly wiped his face and of course, looked surprised seeing me there"Who are you?" He asked huskily."What do you want?"I turned and looked behind me. Mandy didn't come in with me."I'm talking to you" he said again, making me turn back to him."Um...I'm...I'm just here to see the lady" I replied a bit twitchy."I was there with her the night she died. She...""You were there?" He snapped in a scary way, making me freeze a little."What happened to her? What do you know about it?"Gosh! He looked bad-tempered."I didn't do anything to her, okay? I was just...I was by the roadside, waiting for a can when I saw her running towards me. She was wounded and fell right in front of me. I had wanted to get some help, but..."I paused, recalling what had happened."Please, who's she to you? Do you know her?" I asked instead and he sniffed and turned to look at her."Why're you asking?" He muttered."Because...I don't know; but I t

It made me feel so nervous, but my present condition wouldn't let me admire it for long.Zosar and I arrived at the airport where two cars were already waiting for him. Gosh! I felt so strange walking beside him. I mean, he seemed to be treated specially.All the people around bowed in obeisance and tried avoiding his gaze and thank goodness, we got into one of the cars.I kept staring through the window, amazed at the beautiful buildings and brightly garbed people around.Wow!

THE LIE Episode 11
Gosh! The palace was so beautiful and I couldn't stop looking around as Zosar took me to my room.We had to go through a long way before getting to our destination which he referred to as my room.He opened the door and walked in while I followed him behind.. A "wow" escaped my lips as I met with the beautiful room. Wow! It was dazzling.A big comfy bed, a big wardrobe, a make up table, shoe shelf...everything! It was unbelievable!"I had this room made for Hathor" Zosar said and I took my gaze to him."That was before I left to find her. I had planned on bringing her over here so she could live the life of a princess. But unfortunately..."He paused and sighed."Everything you need should be here already. I'm talking about material things - clothes, shoes - name them. And just in case there's any other thing you need, don't hesitate to let me know. Or send a maid to get it, rather.
