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

This marked my first day to be in a jet and fly on air.Wow! 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! Egypt was damn beautiful; I've never imagined such sight before.Zosar didn't say anything but kept going through his phone and I used that time to continue with my admiration.After a very long ride, we got to a mansion. No; not just a mansion...But a paradise.Whaaat?Oh my God!!Heavenly God!!Was this for real? Was this the palace?I opened my mouth agaped as our car rode into the gigantic palace and all the guards and maids rushed out and stood o
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. "For now, we're having a party just like you've heard from my mum. It's my parents anniversary. So, p

I flinched as I watched her walk away. What does she mean by that? What does she mean I should trust no one?Oh, God! Is my life really in danger here? But how? They should know I'm just here to give birth to this baby and nothing more.But why did she mention the prince as well? What's that supposed to mean? Would the prince want to harm the carrier of his unborn baby or what?Oh God! What have I gotten myself into?I was on my way to my room when I ran into mother. Thank goodness. I've been looking for a way to speak with her."My prince charming" she smiled as she got to where I was and we both stopped walking.The maids behind her kept their heads bowed."Why are you still moving around? Shouldn't you be getting ready for the party?" She asked and I sighed."Mum, I've been meaning to ask you; what's Rana doing here?" I asked more like in a whisper and she chuckled.."Zosar! You never seize to amaze me. Rana is an old friend, right? I thought you guys were best friends. Anyway, she

I stood in front of the mirror and admired myself in the long dazzling gown.Wow! Undoubtedly, it looked good on me.I smiled and touched my tummy. It was beginning to feel big.Gosh! I couldn't believe I was really pregnant. I was carrying a baby! In a few months, I'll become a mother.Just then, I heard a knock on the door and took my eyes from the mirror."Yes?" I replied and the door opened with the prince coming inOh!I cringed a little and moved away from the mirror.Wow! He was looking so...charmingDressed like a prince that he was."Hi" he said warmly as he stood with his hands crossed behind his back."Um...hi" I cleared my throat and said."Are you ready for the party? I came to pick you up"."Oh! I thought you said you'll be sending someone else?""Yeah...I changed my mind. Come on" he said and started walking out of the room and I followed him behind.I was a bit nervous; I mean, being in such a strange place in the midst of strange people. It made me cringe - really.I
THE LIE Episode 14
The party was still at it's peak, but it wasn't long when I started feeling dizzy and tired. My waist and legs were hurting a lot and I just needed to rest."Are you alright?" Zosar who was next to me asked, probably noticing the depression on my face and I shook my head."Why? What's wrong?" He further asked."I...I think I just need some rest" I replied, tired."Oh; come on; I'll take you to the room" he said as he held my hand and started walking away with me.We left the throne room together and kept walking until we got to my room."Is there something you need?" He asked as I sat on the bed."No; I'll be fine. All I need is some sleep" I told him and he nodded and watched me lay on the bed.For a moment, we were silent."Thank you...for doing all these" he said calmly."Although, when I think of the fact that Hathor would've been the one lying here, it makes me weak. But still, thank you for accepting my offer and agreeing to come with me. You probably don't know how much it mea
