    "Oh my God Nicole !!! I just said yes to Rafael ,"Nicole heard Natalie say in excitement as she entered her workshop, she dropped the brush she had been using to paint and pushed aside the painting board in front of her, she turned and faced her twin, she looked so excited and her eyes sparkled."Wow,"Nicole said."Is that all you have to say, Nicole ? Really? You are such a mood spoiler,"Her twin said frowning at her, she looked exactly like her, they were identical, born just a minute apart, Natalie was older with one minute and never fail to rub it on her face everytime, they had identical face, body type, hair type and color, although Natalie currently had hers in blond and straightened out, but when left in it natural curly state, it looked exactly like hers, and they even do some movement in sync, they were so similar that even their parents find it hard to tell them apart, that was majorly because they weren't always around though, the only person that could tell them apart

    Nicole thought hard on what she should do, she thought of just telling him that she was not Natalie but her twin sister, but then Natalie said she didn't want them to meet until the day of the wedding, she couldn't understand why her sister felt they shouldn't meet but she couldn't blame her either, her parents still got them confused, not to talk of someone who hasn't met the two of them before.He stood there handsomely, he a button-down white shirt and a pair of black trousers and also matching black shoes, he gave off the young, rich and handsome vibes that almost made her dizzy, he looked so confident in himself standing there, that she wanted to run and hide, he beckoned on her to come over."Well, fuck it, we will deal with this later,"She muttered under her breath as she walked up to him"Hi, dear,"She said going over for a hug, she quickly drew away from the hug as his unique smell hit her nostrils, he smelled good and had a nice body, all good, Natalie liked her men big

    "That has to be the most dangerous and chance meeting ever,"Nicole announced as she entered Natalie’s room, the room was huge with a big queen size bed in the middle and a huge mirror with huge wardrobes where her numerous clothes and accessories are kept, the room was a fairytale, and compared to hers which was painted in Sea blue, Natalie's room was adorned in white and pink, with lots of glitters, she had a huge photo of her hanging in the room, Nicole looked around searching for her twin."Natalie? Where are you?"She called."Over here, Nicole ,"Her twin replied from the balcony, yup her room had a balcony, they both shared it and as kids, they used to get off their rooms at night and spend time together on the balcony, it has been one of their traditions while growing up, they bonded over snacks and sweets since most of the time during the day they were either having different schedules as Natalie had modeled when she was younger."What are you doing?""Setting this place up

    "Where the heck are you Nicole ?"Nicole heard her mom's voice as soon as she picked up the call, she knew she shouldn't have answered the call, but it had been ringing nonstop and was disturbing her concentration, she couldn't turn it off because she was expecting a call from the art gallery regarding the work she submitted, she had signed and they said she needs to be at alert as they can still call her in anytime before the exhibition day."Mom, I am at a studio, where else will I be?""Come home right now,""Hmm, why should I? Mom, I am not a kid that you can order about, I can make my own decisions,""Cut the bullshits, young lady, and come home right now,""I am busy mom,""So, that stupid stuff you do in the name of art is better than your sister and family?""What do you mean?""Your sister is bringing her fiancee home today and you are nowhere to be seen,""Well that's not my fault though, Natalie doesn't want me to meet him until after they are married, she doesn't want to

    "Rafael, are you really sure you wanna push through with marrying this babe, I mean you don't know anything about her and you guys haven't even been dating for long,"Caleb asked Rafael as they sat over a drink, Rafael smiled and took a sip from his drink, he was going to marry her, she had something he needed, and marrying her will get it for him, he had tried multiple times to get it with money but it had been impossible so he figured approaching her will be the best move and he had done that only to find out they had to be married, well so long as he gets what he wanted, marriage wasn't all that hard."Yes Caleb, I am going to marry her, I already met her parents and they gave their blessings,""Wow, I never imagined you as the marrying type,""You never know until you meet the right person,"He responded, he couldn't tell Caleb his plan, they may be friends but Rafael had trust issues, he didn't trust anyone but himself, so he kept mostly to himself, people are betrayers and he ha

    "Nicole?"Nicole heard her twin call as she walked into her room without knocking."Yes? What do you want?"She asked, she was working on Natalie's wedding gift, she quickly saved her progress and turned her system off before her sister could see it, she didn't want her to know what she was going to paint for her, she was almost done with the stretch, she turned to her sister who sat on her bed."I need you with me for my wedding dress fitting, more like I need to make a choice between so many beautiful dresses and I need you there,""Why do I have to go with you for your fitting? I am not the one getting married?"Nicole asked."Because you have to be there,""You know I don't like going out and I have an exhibition to attend,"Nicole responded, there was no way she was letting Natalie talk her into going with her, Natalie draws attention wherever she goes and Nicole didn't want to be caught in that."Come on Nicole , I already know the exhibition was postponed so don't try to lie to

    "What do you mean by that Natie?"Nicole asked, already not liking what her twin was about to tell her, she knew Natalie enough to know this was one of her many impossible requests again, she was going to stand her ground this time, no way was she going to let her twin talk her into doing an impossible thing just for her."Nicole, you know I love you right? And you are my only true best friend,""Go straight to the point Natie, I am a busy woman.""Okay, I need to help me go on a date with Rafael, I forgot about it and I can't go looking like this, please,""What? No way, I told you before that I am never going to play you again."Nicole said. it was indeed as she had thought, another impossible request, this one was beyond impossible, she couldn't meet up with Rafael again.."Shoot, please Nicole, help me, I can't tell him I won't show up, he will get mad, I promised him I will go with him, do this for me, please?

    Three months later...Nicole watched as the reporters made a report that was concerning her."The wedding ceremony of two most talked about couples in the past few months is happening today and we are all living for it, the couple who are expecting their first child soon decided to tie the knot before their baby is born, and the whole country is looking forward to today,"The reporter said, Nicole laughed touching her tummy which has gotten bigger over the last three months, she was currently in her sixth month of pregnancy and everything has been blissful for the past three months, her life has been perfect in every way, she had family and friends and most especially Rafael with her and nothing could beat that."You know you are going to be late if you just sit there watching TV and smiling to yourself,"Natalie announced as she walked into her room, she was ready and looked so pretty in her simple yet so beautiful bridesmaid dress, both she and Grace were her bridesmaid."I can't be

    She walked back towards her ward in a sad mood, she needed to speak with Rafael and hoped he come back soon, instead of going back to the room, she opted for going to the hospital rooftop, she asked for directions and was shown the way up, she saw a few people up there and went to the more quiet side, sat down and brought out her phone from the hospital gown pocket, she had found the phone next to her when she woke up this morning, she thought she had lost it but thankfully not, she played with the phone before dialing his number, it didn't go through, maybe he turned it off, she wished he could just appear in front of her, she needed to talk to him, they have been separated for too long, she wanted him back now."Rafael,"She whispered his name."What are you doing here on your own, I have been looking everywhere for you,"She heard his voice and turned to see him waving at her, she stood up from where she sat, he appeared, she smiled when he did before bursting into tears, he ran t

    Nicole looked around when she woke up again, Rafael wasn't by her side anymore, she looked to where Natalie was seated with Aron by her side, they were talking in whispers, she had told him to go and not return until he has gotten enough rest, he didn't want to leave so she had yelled at him to get out of her presence, it was harsh but she needed him to take care of himself too, she didn't want him to be careless with his health, he had surgery and he wasn't taking care of himself, imagine how scared she had been when all she wanted was to playfully hit him yet she ended up hurting him, the look of pain in his eyes had sent a shiver of fear down her body, she expected to see him again at least before she went to sleep last night but he hadn't shown up, when she woke up this morning, she had looked around for him too, she knew she told him to rest and he needed it but she had things to tell him, it was almost afternoon and he still wasn't back."Nicole, you are awake,"Natalie said as

    "What happened?"The doctor asked looking at his hand."I mistakenly hit it somewhere and it is so fucking painful,"He said as the doctor helped him remove his shirt, he saw that his hand was bleeding again, Nicole didn't even hit hard enough for him to be bleeding this much."This is why I told you to look after yourself but you claimed to be fine, now we have to do a restitch or it might get infected and that's not good,"The doctor said to him as he placed a call across, it happened so fast, one minute he was watching the doctor give out instructions to whoever on the other side of the call, and the next minute, he saw himself falling, his head spinning and he couldn't control himself, he heard the doctor yell for someone and that was all he could remember.When he woke up again, he was back on the bed he had run away from, with the doctor, not the one he was with earlier but another doctor fixing something on the drip near his bed."You are awake, you stubborn man, you nearly kil

    Rafael looked around the room he was in, the pain in his hands finally subsided, he got up and pulled his shirt on just as the door opened."Oh, you are up,"Lance said walking up to him."Yes, were you here throughout the night?""No, I just came in, I had to go to the police station, the other man was arrested this morning, but sadly Leonard died on the way to the hospital last night,"Lance revealed."What about my wife and her sister? Are they awake yet?"He asked standing on fixing his trousers."I don't know yet, I came straight here when I was told you are here, I can go and check for you if you want,"He offered."No, that's fine I will go myself,""I don't think that's advisable seeing that you had surgery a few hours ago,"Lance said trying to block his way."I am fine, don't you have things to do?""Yes, I will be on my way, call me if you need anything,"Lance said as they both walked out of his hospital room, they parted ways as Rafael walked straight to the doctor's offi

    "Nicole?"She heard her name, it wasn't just anyone calling her name it was Rafael, he came, he was here, he came for her."Don't come any closer, don't fucking come closer or she will be dead,"Leonard yelled holding on to Nicole, he pointed the gun at her, Rafael slowed down for a moment, she wanted to run to him, run into his embrace but she knew doing that would be catastrophic, so she stayed still."Rafael,"She cried"Baby, it will be fine I got you,"He said, she couldn't make out his face properly, the room wasn't dark as before but her eyes were blinded by tears and her body tried."Let her go, Leonard, let her go, she didn't do anything to you, fucking let her go,"He told Leonard who pulled her even closer and pressed the gun to her face."You think I am a fool? I should let her go? No way, if I go down, she dies,"He yelled at him pointing the gun at him."Let her go and face me, you moron,""Please don't Rafael don't provoke him, please,"She pleaded, her voice was almost

    After the talk with Rafael, Nicole couldn't fall asleep or do anything else again, she just sat and listened, Rafael said he will come and get them and she didn't want to be asleep when that happened, she told her sister to sleep so that she can be on watch, it seems like the younger guy finally left because she hasn't seen him since after their talk the other day. She silently prayed that Rafael will come for them tonight, she didn't want to spend a third night here, she wanted to go home, go home not to her family's mansion but to the house she shared with Rafael, even if he doesn't want to live in the mansion anymore she would stay with him at his new house, anywhere he was would be her home, she couldn't wait to tell him that she was sorry for everything and that she loves him so much,Nicole heard the noise in the distance, not just any kind of noise, vehicles were entering where they are, she quickly got up and walked to where Natalie lay."Natie? Natie? I think help is here, th

    "Baby? What baby?"He asked."Nicole is pregnant, I know she hadn't told you yet, and she would want to tell you herself but you have to know that my daughter is pregnant with your child and you have to get them back soon, this is not good for the baby,"She replied, he didn't know what to say, he didn't know Nicole was pregnant, she didn't say a word to him, he thought, God, he thought the doctor said she won't be able to get pregnant again, dies that mean. Oh God, he needed to get her back. Aron collected the phone from him and spoke to Nicole's parents while he sat there still in shock.The police, his own team, and even the twins' parents agreed that it would be better if they involved security to avoid any foul play, he reluctantly agreed.Leonard didn't call back, instead, he texted a location where they can meet for the exchange and it was game on.Preparation for the meet up was super easy, it was the easy part of the whole thing, he wanted to go alone, wanted to just give the
