There were guards stationed outside his room and when they saw her, one of the guards reached out and opened the door for Kiandra.She entered and saw him fast asleep on the bed. Seeing him sleeping made her smile to herself as he always had trouble sleeping.She walked up to the bed and sat beside him. “No matter how many thank you I say, it won’t be enough for what you’ve done for me and our daughter,” she whispered to him. She then reached out and gently stroked his hair.“Now both of you get better quickly so I can tell you both the truth,” Kiandra urged the sleeping Lucas. She didn’t say anything after that, instead, she stared at him. “If I say I love you, will you love me back?” she asked him.She was about to say more when the lights suddenly went off making her wonder what was happening.****“Hey, will you stand guard for a while? I want to take a quick nap,” one of the guards who had been stationed outside Lucas’ room asked his partner. “Sure, I’ll wake you up in two hours

“Put your hands where I can see them,” one of the police officers said to her, his and his partner's gun still pointed at her.Kiandra panicked when she realized what was going on in their minds. “I swear I didn’t kill him. He was dead when I woke up,” she cried out.“You’ll explain at the station,” the same officer retorted. “Ma’am don’t make this difficult for us, put your hands where I can see them,” he asked her again and Kiandra did as he told her to do.The second officer walked up to Kiandra and handcuffed her. “You have the right to remain silent, anything and everything you say, can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be provided by the state,” the officer read her rights to her and they led her out of the house.When they got out of the house, she saw that a crowd had gathered around the house and they were all staring at her judgmentally.“What the hell is going on here?” She heard a familiar

After Lucas left him stranded at the base, Liam took another car and he headed to the hospital as it was better if he stayed with Zendaya and Belle considering how the guards had failed to protect Kiandra.As he walked past the doors of the hospital, he sighed as it felt as though the last week he had been to the hospital was more than the times he had visited the hospital throughout his entire life. When he got to the floor where Zendaya’s room was, he saw Belle standing outside the room and in front of her was a man he had never seen before. He would have ignored them and walked into the room had the man not leaned forward and kissed Belle.Liam felt his blood boil upon seeing that and he immediately had the urge to rip the man’s head for kissing her. ‘She’s off limits,’ his rationale yelled to him and this made him calm down a bit.And so, instead of walking over to the man and punching him, he cleared his throat to alert the two of his presence and sure enough, they turned to fac

Lucas opened his eyes and he turned to look at the time. He saw it was already seven o’clock. He sighed as this was one of those nights where he didn’t get any sleep.Lucas sat up on the couch and looked at the child who was fast asleep on the bed. He had sent Samantha home yesterday, as he wanted to stay with Zendaya in case anyone tried anything with her.So far, everything was good and she was recovering with any problems. When he was talking to her the previous night he could tell Zendaya was yearning for her mother but she refrained from asking him to talk to her.Tomorrow was Kiandra’s pre-trial and it would determine a lot of things. Part of the things he hoped to happen was for her to be granted bail so she could get out of there.He had taken care of her there by hiring inmates and guards to keep an eye on her so that no one would try to do anything to her. And as for those three women who had beaten her up, he had gotten a message that the three got into a fight and ‘killed’

Lucas drove the car like a madman as he raced to reach the hospital. Kiandra's words of confirmation kept on ringing in his ear as he shook his head in disbelief.He was the father of Zendaya? But how was that possible when he had never slept with Kiandra? No, not remembering sleeping with her was the right thing to say.Was that why he always felt a connection with the little girl and why he was able to stand her? Right from the first day he laid his eyes on Zendaya, he could tell she was a special child but he would have never imagined that she was his daughter.His mind then took him to the times Kiandra had tried to tell him something but for one reason or another, she was interrupted. Was this what she wanted to say to him?His hands gripped the steering wheel firmly to the point they turned white. He finally got to the hospital and without wasting any time, he headed straight to the doctor's office."Mr Valencia, what brings you here?" The doctor asked. "I was just preparing the
