All Chapters of THE LIE : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I felt so cold and shivery. Where was the doctor? Why's he taking so long?I sat with mum in the doctor's office as we awaited the doctor to show up with the test results. I just hope I get diagnosed and treated soon. I really need to get rid of this weird feeling."He'll be here soon, okay?" Mum placed her hand on mine and said and I just nodded we were facing each other as we sat.Finally, the door opened and I heaved a huge sigh of relief as I turned to see the doctor coming in.Thank goodness.He looked moody as he walked in slowly and went to the other side of the table to take his seat."Sorry for keeping you waiting", he spoke calmly and adjusted his glasses.He had a piece of paper with him - probably the test results."Oh! It's nothing" mum quickly said."Please doctor, how's she? What's wrong with her?"He hesitated for a while and dropped the paper on the table."Well.." He took off his specs."The...test was successful and the results are out".He paused and sighed. Hold

Oh God! This sounds insane. But it's the truth. Its the only possible explanation to this story."Zoey?" Mandy called with a scoff."Are you alright?""I swear Mandy; I know what I'm saying. How else can a lady get pregnant without having sex? We have the medical way which is surrogacy. And aside that, what other way could there be? The spiritual way!"That night, when I was with the lady, she had said something about her baby. She was scared and said things like *my baby. Please save him. I can't lose him*"And next, she held my wrist and said some strange words like...like an enchantment. I felt different and even my wrist turned red and that was when I passed out. And the next morning, the strange symptoms began." I explained, rushing my words.She stared at me, stunned like I'd run mad."Please Mandy, believe me. It has to be the only explanation" I said, panting heavily.She scoffed and folded her lips."So....you're tryna say you're pregnant with someone else's baby?" She asked.

This marked my first day to be in a jet and fly on air.Wow! It made me feel so nervous, but my present condition wouldn't let me admire it for long.Zosar and I arrived at the airport where two cars were already waiting for him. Gosh! I felt so strange walking beside him. I mean, he seemed to be treated specially.All the people around bowed in obeisance and tried avoiding his gaze and thank goodness, we got into one of the cars.I kept staring through the window, amazed at the beautiful buildings and brightly garbed people around.Wow! Egypt was damn beautiful; I've never imagined such sight before.Zosar didn't say anything but kept going through his phone and I used that time to continue with my admiration.After a very long ride, we got to a mansion. No; not just a mansion...But a paradise.Whaaat?Oh my God!!Heavenly God!!Was this for real? Was this the palace?I opened my mouth agaped as our car rode into the gigantic palace and all the guards and maids rushed out and stood o

I flinched as I watched her walk away. What does she mean by that? What does she mean I should trust no one?Oh, God! Is my life really in danger here? But how? They should know I'm just here to give birth to this baby and nothing more.But why did she mention the prince as well? What's that supposed to mean? Would the prince want to harm the carrier of his unborn baby or what?Oh God! What have I gotten myself into?I was on my way to my room when I ran into mother. Thank goodness. I've been looking for a way to speak with her."My prince charming" she smiled as she got to where I was and we both stopped walking.The maids behind her kept their heads bowed."Why are you still moving around? Shouldn't you be getting ready for the party?" She asked and I sighed."Mum, I've been meaning to ask you; what's Rana doing here?" I asked more like in a whisper and she chuckled.."Zosar! You never seize to amaze me. Rana is an old friend, right? I thought you guys were best friends. Anyway, she

The party was still at it's peak, but it wasn't long when I started feeling dizzy and tired. My waist and legs were hurting a lot and I just needed to rest."Are you alright?" Zosar who was next to me asked, probably noticing the depression on my face and I shook my head."Why? What's wrong?" He further asked."I...I think I just need some rest" I replied, tired."Oh; come on; I'll take you to the room" he said as he held my hand and started walking away with me.We left the throne room together and kept walking until we got to my room."Is there something you need?" He asked as I sat on the bed."No; I'll be fine. All I need is some sleep" I told him and he nodded and watched me lay on the bed.For a moment, we were silent."Thank you...for doing all these" he said calmly."Although, when I think of the fact that Hathor would've been the one lying here, it makes me weak. But still, thank you for accepting my offer and agreeing to come with me. You probably don't know how much it mea
