Do you even know the reason the mofo wanted to marry me was because of the inheritance grandma gave us? I am guessing you don't, neither do your parents,"Natalie spat out."What? My parents?

Do you realize people are starting to get tired of your stories and you decide to spice things up by lying and also giving out my private information? Why?

Rafael let out a worried breath hoping that nothing bad had happened."Which hospital are you in?"He gave the direction, it was the same hospital that Nicole goes for antenatal, Rafael turned the car for a second time and drove straight to the hospital, he met Natalie in the hallway, she was looking scared and out of it, he hadn't expected to see her here, and automatically, he sensed she had something to do with Nicole being at the hospital."Natalie? What happened? What did you do? Where is my wife?"He asked, walking up to her, she looked even more scared when he got close to her."Rafael, Rafael, it's Nicole, she is not doing fine, there was so much blood,"She said crying, he looked at her and saw she had blood on her, his wife's blood."Where is my wife Natalie? What happened?"He asked, scared for his woman and their child."I didn't do anything, we had a misunderstanding, and things happened and she fell from the stairs, I didn't do anything to her believe me, please,"She pl

Rafael walked out of the hospital after making sure, no one except the doctors and nurses entered his wife's hospital room, the doctor already confirmed she wasn't waking up anytime soon, so he had to do the needful to make sure she gets justice, not even her parents were allowed to see her, he wouldn't let them, he held them accountable for what happened to his wife and their child, if only they had been able to get through to Natalie all of these won't have happened but they didn't, they were so slow about it and he felt stupid to have left everything to them, he could have stopped Natalie, he delayed, now look what that has caused him, nevertheless, he would still make her pay.He went back to the office when he got there, he forgot the reason he had come by, he didn't even think of what he came to do back at the office z he was just too confused and had just driven there without anything in mind, he got back in his car and dove back to the hospital without doing anything, his secu

Three days later, Nicole still laid cold in her hospital bed, she was responding to treatment but she wasn't waking up, it was as if she didn’t want to wake up, Rafael was fed up with hearing the same story from the doctor, they were giving him anything new to hold on to just the same old story every time he asked them what was up with her and why she wasn’t waking up. it was clear even the doctor didn't expect her to be this late, at least they made him believe that much even though they didn’t say that to him directly, he just knew by how confused they seemed too that they expected to be up earlier, he couldn’t lie that he was scared that she might not wake up again but he didn’t let himself dwell on negative things like that.He couldn't be with her all the time as he was still finding it hard to believe that she had disobeyed him which had lead to this, he still wasn't happy with her but he wanted her to be awake that way he can scold her, yes he was going to scold her a lot for n

"Wait, what?"Rafael asked, she could tell he was offended by what she just said but that's was it, he shouldn't have arrested her twin, it wasn't intentional, Natalie couldn’t and shouldn’t be blamed for what happened because it wasn’t right, it was an accident, if only she had tried to talk to her more calmly maybe it would not have happened."I said let Natalie go,"She said again."You, you must be kidding me, Nicole, you are kidding me, right? You can't have just said what I heard right? Ain’t no way you are saying that right?”He asked in an annoyed tone, she understood his anger but she wasn’t about to sit and let him arrest her sister no matter what, not on her watch."You heard me Rafael, let my sister go, she didn't do it intentionally, it was an accident, you can't lock her up,"She let out, she was still in pain finding out her child was no more but that didn't mean she would watch her sister get punished because of an accident that no one saw coming."I am not going to do

"I said I want a divorce, I don't want to have anything to do with you or your family anymore, I want out of this marriage, it wasn't meant to happen in the first place,"Rafael let out, Nicole felt her world ending again, this wasn't it, this wasn't what she wanted to happen, she didn't want Rafael to leave her"No, you can't do this, why? A divorce? I don't understand? Until the accident we were cool but then after I know we fell apart but we can fix this, I don't want a divorce please,""I do, and I am going to get it, I can't stand you, Nicole , I can't stand seeing you anymore without thinking about the child we lost, the child I couldn't get justice for because you decided to play the sibling card, I can't stand knowing that my child didn't stand a chance because of some siblings feud and she had to suffer such tragedy and you won't even let me get justice, so this is my decision,"He said."I know, I know you wanted my sister to go to jail for pushing me, and you don't believ

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
