"What?"He asked shocked, of all the things he expected her to say, that hadn't come to mind."I said that I am pregnant,""Yeah, sorry, I heard you the first time, I am just in shock, how did you know? Have you done the test?"He asked, he didn’t even know if that was the right question to ask."Yes, and it's positive even did a scan to be sure and I am three weeks gone,"She revealed, she didn't seem happy about the news though, no she looked worried, was she worried that he might not like the news or was there something else."You don't seem excited about the news?"He asked, she looked at him and he saw that she was about to cry."Hey, baby, don't cry,""I don't want to I just can't help it, I am happy, of course, I am happy to be a mum but I was scared you might not be ready, we haven't even talked about a child yet so,"He cut her off with his lips on her, kissing away her worries, of course, he was happy about the news even though it came so suddenly, he wanted a family with he

He greeted, kissing her on the forehead, she greeted him and collected the bag he held, she knew it was for her."Thanks for this,"She smiled when she saw her favorite chocolate brand and happily collected it from him, she never told him she liked it but he had somehow picked it out, he was super observant and that was so cool."What happened? You are sulking?"She asked when she took a good look at his expression, he didn't seem happy, like something happened that he didn't like, maybe a deal didn't go the way he wanted."Yeah, don't mind me, someone was just being a prick and that ruined my mood, and to crown it all my assistant thinks he right and I am wrong,""Wanna, take a shower eat and tell me what happened?

"Wow, a honeymoon? We have been married for months. Why now?"Nicole asked in a suspicious tone, she wasn't buying this, he was tricking her like he did when he wanted her to go for a business trip with him a week ago."Yes, baby, not a trick this time, we are going to Bora Bora, it's a honeymoon location, no work, just the two of us, oh I mean the three of us, what do you say?""Sounds tempting, how many days?""Ten days, we will leave by Thursday and return next week Sunday,""I might wanna do it but first you have to apologize to your friend, if not even though it is tempting I am not going, you can't cut off people you are close with, everyone has trust issues but there should be a limit,""Fine, I will,"He reluctantly agreed, she waited for him to call his friend, who to her surprise picked up which further confirmed her judgment that Rafael must have mistaken the guy for what he is not."Loudspeaker,"She instructed and he did just that."Hi, Caleb, this is Rafael’s wife, how a

"A ten hours flight, how am I going to survive it?"Nicole asked dramatically as they rode to the airport two days later, her husband shook his head and looked away, he must be tired of her nagging, she had been doing nonstop."Wow, now I am talking to myself, so much for true love,"She let out when he didn’t respond to her, he rolled his eyes."Baby, you have been saying the same thing nonstop and I have told you will be fine,"He responded."Yes, but I want to talk and you want to be quiet,"She argued, her hormones were acting out and it was disturbing, she had become more talkative and was constantly looking for and starting conversations over the last two days, she had called Grace three times just because she needed someone to talk to and also she wakes her husband up just to talk to him about nothing in particular, the poor man couldn’t even say no."Who said I want to be quiet? You can talk to me all you want my love,"He said pulling her closer to him, she felt safe and rea

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?

"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
