“No, I'm not feeling too good," Xara answered rushing to the bathroom. They had begun with their finals and school had become more hectic, they hardly had enough time for themselves.
“Have you seen your doctor or perhaps taken a pregnancy test?" Penny bombarded her with questions.
“Nope, I haven't done any of the above." She responded sipping from a glass.
“Get dressed, I'm driving you to the doctors and no excuses missy, you need medical attention." She said as Xara answered her call.
“Who needs medical attention?" Kai asked.
“Xara does, and she's being stubborn about it," Penny said loud enough for him to hear.
“She's overreacting," Xara said.
“She's not, you need medical attention, so go get it." He rudely added.
“Okay, I will. I'm going now, talk to you later." She dropped the call as she headed to her closet to get dressed.

“I'm sorry Xara, I didn't see you there." Lorenzo apologised as he intentionally bumped into her knocking the cup of juice out of her hand. Valerie had poisoned the drink and had handed it over to her to drink. Lorenzo was present when Valerie put the substance in the drink but she didn't see him. “I could get you another?" Valerie suggested being nice. “Um, no that's, that's fine," Xara told as Lorenzo wiped the floor and picked up the cup. I think that bitch is up to something, she's never nice to me, never. Mental note to myself does not eat or drink anything from her now I am in my condition. Xara thought to herself. She sat on her bed as she returned a call she had missed. “Hello?" She said. “Xara..." The voice trailed off. She would recognise that voice, anywhere and anytime. It's the voice she had wanted to hear from year's back and months ago, but now it was too late. She was already having Kai's child. “Ma...Mabel?" S

The graduation caps flew in the air as the students scattered around the campus. Their 4-year study had finally come to an end. “Ah, now real life begins from here." Alianna sighed as they walked to Xara's car. Alianna was covered since she was going to work in her dad's company. Penny had written some applications waiting to send them to various companies. Now she had gotten her certificate, she could add photocopies of them to her letters and then send them in. Xara didn't know what she was going to do for now. She was expecting a child and was wondering if Kai would even let her work. They weren't speaking to each other regularly, and Kai was aware of her pregnancy. She was two months gone and her belly began to show. She wasn't seeing much of Valerie also because she didn't eat from or with her, so she barely saw her around the house. “Girls, can we go get some food to eat now?" Xara suggested after they had taken countless pictures with a w

“ Hey, you." Neo nudged Alianna playfully. They lay at her backyard on a cloth they had laid on the grass as they watched the stars. “Hello," she smiled at him. “So, I've been thinking. Have I been able to make your heart yearn for me or I still have a long way to go?" He asked hoping for a positive answer. “Naaah, you haven't you've got to try harder." she teased as she watched his face drop and his demeanour change. “Oh," he added as he fidgetted with his phone. “I, I erm I have to go now. I need to go check up on something at home." he made up an excuse. “I thought you were spending the night?" Alianna asked confused. “I was but, something came up. I'm sorry, I'd see you around Alia." he gave her a peck on her forehead as his lips lingered there for a while and then he walked away.

“Lauren wait!" Keane run through the hallway to catch up with her. “Keane, what a surprise. It's nice to meet you." she sarcastically added. “ Lauren, please hear me out. I can explain." he run his hand over his head. “ Keane, what's there to explain. You had your tongue down some other girls throat at a party you invited me to, you know I don't know why I am getting worked up on this, this was a fake relationship where I shouldn't have caught feelings, but I did. I guess that doesn't matter anymore. Don't worry our fake relationship will continue, but it won't be the same as it was before." she told him walking out before he had the chance to say anything to him. “You okay Lauren, I saw Keane after you," Rita asked. “He wanted to apologize, I told him how I felt but I didn't back out from the deal." she tightly smiled.

Ma?" Xara stood rooted at the door. She was contemplating whether to let her mom in or bang the door in her face. Maybe the latter option would do.She thought to herself. “Xara, I can explain," she said to her daughter after she let her in. “What logical explanation do you have Zoe?" she asked annoyed. “I know I haven't been the best mom, but I am willing to change and be there for you." she bit her lip. “Dad sent you right? You guys ran out of money and need more. That so?" she gave a tight-lipped smile. “No, he didn't I just came to see how you're fairing," she added genuinely. “I'm fine as you can see," she said walking into the house as her mom followed suit. “I didn't know you were expecting." her mom stated the obvious. “Well, now you know...yaaay" she added on sarcastically. “Young lady watch your tongue, I am still your mother." she scolded. “Oh, are you?

“ Watch it!" Lorenzo pulled Xara just in time before the car could hit her. She held on tightly to his shirt in shock. “Are you okay?" he asked as Kai joined them noticing his wife's state. “What happened, what did you do to her?" he fumed holding Lorenzo's shirt. “Let go, Kai! he saved my life, something you couldn't do ever since we got married." she scolded as she walked off to the car in shock and anger. “Pay attention to your family and stop looking to pick fights at any moment you get." Lorenzo spat walking to his car. Ah, way to make a comeback Valerie, I missed being a thorn in your flesh. Let's get that number plate and then I move on from there.Lorenzo thought to himself as adrenaline pumped through his veins. ” Why do you have to make everything about you?" Xara asked when Kai entered the car. “ Are you okay?" he asked changing the topic. “I, I'm just shocked. I don't think this place is safe f

“I've got good and bad news for you," Lyle said to Penny as they sat at the park. “Bad news first, please." she inched closer ready to hear what he had to say. “Okay, I'm moving to Washington, D.C. next week." he dropped the bombshell. “Is your dad okay?" that was the first thing that came in mind. “Dad's, dad's fine." he sighed. “And the good news?" she tried to clear the air. She had two more weeks left until the year ended before she moved to Washington, D.C. " So, I told you about my interview at Pfizer, a pharmaceutical company. Well, I had an email saying I've been hired for the Senior Director position and have to start in two weeks." he dropped. “Oh my gosh, Lyle I am so happy for you, this is wonderful." she hugged him. “ It's in two weeks so why leave now, we could go together," Penny suggested. “I have to go check out my accommodation and where my workplace is, and also settle in before work sta

Life would be better for Xara, you might think. With her attempted murderer in jail, she would enjoy her marriage alas. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you remember I said Kai was a chronic womanizer, he's gone back to default settings. Different women had tried to attack Xara publicly declaring she wasn't fit to be a Maximilian, without the help of Lorenzo, she would have been battered on several occasions. “Maybe if I leave his house with Elon, it would do us some good," she said to her friends. She was on a conference call with both Penny and Alianna. “ Wouldnt he think you've run away with his son?" Penny asked. “I am not divorcing him, Penny, I want to come back stronger.

Epilogue. " So you mean you're part of the Mafia?" Lorenzo asked as they walked along the streets. The street lights laminated their paths as they took a stroll. " Of course, I am their lawyer...a Mafia lawyer," she explained. " Okay, that explains the men you came along with to help us out." " Yeah," she answered. " For how long have you been a Mafia lawyer?" he couldn't help but ask. " After law school, when my dad died. I had no choice but to take over because I was my father's successor that's why he sent me to law school in the first place. At first, I didn't want to be a part of it but I had no choice when he threatened to disown me. I had nowhere to go or to start from so I obeyed him and after he died I became their lawyer. I was sceptical at first but when time went on, I got used to it and decided to stay." she explained. " I see," he answered. Lorenzo and Kenzie headed over to her plac

" We meet again Kai Maximilian," Valerie curled her lip pointing a gun at Elon's head. " What do you want?" he interrogated as another masked man held Xara down. " Chill, Kai. A little payback won't hurt," she laughed like a maniac. " Why did I involve myself with you in the first place?" he blurted out. " Because I could give it to you real good. Something none of your bitches could do," she let out a dry laugh. " Yeah right," " I loved you, Kai, since high school. But you ignored me. You reported to management that I was stalking you and hurt some of the girls you went out with. Of course, I did all that. But I still loved you, so after college, I tracked you. But you didn't recognise me. I had changed. We were fine until Mabel came in, but she was a scaredy-cat so she ran off. Then you went for her, I thought she would leave as her sister did. She didn't.

Weeks had passed and Lorenzo had been discharged from the hospital. Kai spent more time with his family, he came to check on his wife and son regularly. He even spent some nights in Xara's house, he hadn't yet summoned the courage to ask them to move back in with him. He needed all this mess to be over before he asked them to move in. Now more than ever, Lorenzo was determined to find Valerie. He needed to find her and end this madness once and for all. He knew she was hiding in a town not far away from Brooklyn, NY and how she had made a living for herself. What he needed right now was an insider to monitor her footsteps and plans. He had been able to track down the assassin she hired. Time to pay him a nice visit. " Boss, I need a favour." " Kenzie, what kind of favour do you want?" he asked her. " I need men to track down a certain someone who almost killed people I've come care about," she told him. She was a mafia lawyer, a

" Xara, Elon...move!" Lorenzo got there just in time to take the bullet for them. " Aaah!" Xara gripped Elon's hand as a crowd gathered around them. The bullet hit Lorenzo's right arm, getting to his chest. He lay in a pool of blood as Xara stood frozen, she felt blood trickle down her legs. " Call an ambulance please," Lorenzo called out in pain. Elon held onto his mother's legs crying and terrified at the scene that just unfolded in front of them. The paramedics gently put Lorenzo onto the stretcher and helped Xara into the ambulance as well as Elon as they were rushed to the hospital. " Next time, don't miss the target., Valerie said into the assassin's AirPods " Got it, boss," the masked man responded blending into the crowd after he fled from the scene.

AJ lay in Valerie's bed fast asleep. She sat up smoking a cigarette lost in thought. He's not a bad company. I could hang around him for a while before discarding him, besides he's got the dough. Isn't that what everyone wants? She chuckled. She stole another glance at him. He slept peacefully as if he had no care in this world. No troubles, no nothing. He slept like a newborn babe. Valerie wore her robe and descended the stairs to the kitchen. Her tummy was rumbling and she decided to fix breakfast for both of them since he was already here. She finished with their breakfast an

"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there." Valerie apologized bumping into a handsome young man. He looked sophisticated. " It's fine, don't worry about it..." he trailed off. Her hand bent over to pick up the clutch she intentionally dropped when she bumped into him. " That's fine, I would see you around then." she turned around to go. She began to count in her head 1..2...and 3. "Excuse me," the man called her back. Works like magic, she said to herself walking towards him. " Umm, you called." she bit down her lips seductively. " Yeah, here's my card. Call me when you get to your destination. I'd love for us to have dinner, to get to know ourselves better." he stared at her cleavage. " I'd love to Sir," she responded. " Call me Ajax...AJ for short," he told her. " Alright AJ, I'm Valerie...and it was nice meeting you.

“ Valerie, what else do you want from him? You made it out of jail, made money, and you're living an obedient life. What at all do you need again?” Well, the caller asked. “ Oh, I don't need anything from him but a small payback,” she smirked. “ Payback for what? Haven't you done enough already? Haven't you caused adequate harm to him and his family… What do you want?” the caller said in frustration. “ Payback they say is a…bitch. The scumbag made me rot in that vile following cell. He humiliated me in front of everyone. For now, I'm just focusing on making else money, waiting for my jailbreak saga to die down, and then I strike when he least expects it.” she laughed hysterically. “ You're one nut job…” ******** “ Mr. Ken Wilson, 55 years of age, father of two.
