(Kendall"s POV)"Right from the moment you stepped into my office, I could tell you are anxious but you've to put your mind at rest.""Not until I hear the outcome of the result," I replied, taking a glance at the medical charts that hung on his wall and balancing on the seat."Hmm! The result of the test we carried out a fortnight ago…" Dr. Ronald, our family doctor, paused as he removed his medicated spectacles, cleaned it and perched it on his nose again.While he paused, my heart began to pound in my chest and I waited for him to continue but he didn't."What was it?" I asked, my voice quavered and I clutched the handle of my bag."The result shows you are eight weeks pregnant!" he blurted with lines of ecstasy beaming on his face."I'm eight weeks pregnant?" My ears widened in shock and my heart leaped with joy as the anxiety which had engulfed me faded away."Dr. Ronald. Are you sure about this? Are you sure it isn't ovarian cancer?"Ever since I started to have some funny sympto

(Kendall's POV)Without turning my head to look at the news being reported behind me, I made the payment with an overwhelmed uneasiness. I was afraid the owner was famous and I might be caught on my way home since the hospital was a stone's throw from the whorehouse. Distraught, I prayed I hadn't gotten myself into trouble.Laura was discharged, and we journeyed home after I checked up on Flora and Claura."Good afternoon, Mama," Laura greeted Gabriella as soon as we stepped inside the small wooden house, surrounded by bamboo trees, and I laid her on the tattered sofa."How's your body, daughter?"Lines of happiness plastered all over Gab's wrinkled face. It showed she was ecstatic to see my daughter hale and hearty again after she witnessed her collapse the previous night. I had just returned from a tech company where I submitted an application letter when Laura crumbled to the ground. The doctor said she was malnourished."Mama, I'm fine.""Let me get you something to drink," Gab o

(Kendall's POV )"What have I gotten myself into?" I muttered under my breath as I fidgeted at the sight of the policeman. At first, I thought Stephen was joking about his last statement but it turned out that he wasn't."Just three seconds," he reiterated and smirked and he raised three fingers to show that he really meant it.Averting my eyeballs from him to the policemen who looked as though they were predators ready to hunt down their prey. "Good morning sir. Where is the thief?" asked the eldest policeman with a protruding belly and silence answered me.In a whisper, Stephen leaned over the table, wore scorn on his face, and uttered emphasizing each word, "You would not want me to mention your name. Would you?"Transfixed, I gazed into his hazel eyeballs and heaved a breath of frustration. I feared my next reply would be what might be the end of me. If I said no, this callous man could get me arrested and just like he said, I'd rot in jail.I wouldn't be able to pay my children'

(Kendall's POV)Heartbroken, I stood transfixed in shock and disbelief gawking at the doctor as tears streamed down my swollen cheeks. Shivers ran through my spine and I wished the ground could open up and swallow me without remaining any part of my body."This is not what we need now. Mrs Hart. We didn't see this coming and it is so unfortunate that it happened to both of them at the same time," he rushed as concern etched on his face.At every word he said, I took two steps backward, clutching my heart till I sank into the chair which he had placed in front of him. I tried to speak and attempted to ask him how it all happened but words failed me. The more I opened my mouth, the more the words raced back to my stomach.I was sleeping on the mat this morning when my phone's loud ringing tone jolted me upright. I was a bit taken aback when I saw that it was the hospital calling me and my heartbeats began to rise."Good morning." a masculine voice greeted me and I could sense the tone o

(Kendall's POV )After ending the call, I felt a bit relaxed and boarded a cab to his company. On getting there, I went to meet one of the receptionists who ushered me into the reception."Good morning.""Good morning. Are you Mrs. Kendall Hart?""Yes, I am," I replied to her as she leaned beside her chair to take a nose mask from her drawer and put it on.She raised her eyebrows at me and ran a quick examination of my appearance. She looked me down from my disorganized hair up to my dirty toes, shaking her head mischievously.It was now that I even remembered that I didn't take a bath or change into another wear or put on a bra and on my feet was a pair of bathroom slippers."You came here for the interview yesterday, right? How was it?" she asked with a scorn on her face and I was getting impatient."If this question is not useful, ma'am, please let me go. I'm sure if you call Mr. Stephen now, he will tell you to let me in."I wasn't ready for a chit-chat and I never had been ready f
