“ Puaaaaaahhhh ” Isabella spat rinsing her mouth for the third time . She wondered why she threw up in
quick successions , her head literally felt heavy . She could not feel her taste buds also . Everything tasted bitter and even her perfume smelt awful .
Untying her robe , she slips into a teal green pant trouser and white silk stylish shirt. She tuck in her shirts putting the pants in place . She grabbed her brown six inch block heels and brown bag . She removed her hair bonnet revealing her already styled hair . She already had her make-up done, she only re-applied her favourite red lipstick smacking both lips together to get her perfect look .
“ Ding ding ” The door bell rings .
“ Who ? ” Isabella ask clipping her earrings gently.
“ Hilda my lady , breakfast is ready . ” Hilda answers from the door .
“ What time am I supposed to be served breakfast ? ”
“ Seven in the morning. ” Hilda answers dreading Isabella's next reply or reaction .
“ Come in . ” Isabella orders taking a sharp look at Hilda who steps into her room. She was clad in a white blouse and black skirt . She held the tray of coffee in her hand completely shaking wondering what her boss would do to her this time .
“ Let me have it .” Isabella orders as Hilda quickly placed the saucer which held a mug of hot coffee on the dressing table were she stood . She took a sip her face turning into a frown , she grabs the mug tightly gesturing at Hilda to come closer which she did . She emptied the content of the mug on Hilda's body .
“ You are fired ! ” Isabella spat.
“ Please ma'am , Please I am sorry . ” Hilda pleads going on her knees immediately. Isabella hiss angrily, she disliked the sight of anyone pleading without hesitation she pressed the buzzer on the dressing table and Josh came inside the room .
“ Yes ma ”
“ Take this thing out of my house .” Isabella orders as she walks out of her room gracefully like a Queen will do .
“ To the hospital .” She said to Mike her driver who opens the door for her to settle in before taking his seat at the driver's . She placed her bag beside her , taking her phone to place a phone call to Karen her best friend .
“ Hey ! you at the hospital ?.” Isabella inquires
“ Hi barbie doll .” Karen beams happily over the phone .
“ keep it cool Kar , I feel quite nauseous this morning .” Isabella said dryly from her end .
“ Head here ,I will run a test to know what is wrong .” Karen answers sharply .
“ ummm .... I have to go now ,I have got a patient to attend to . See you soon . ” Karen said hanging up after Isabella replies a goodbye .
“ Turn on the box . ” Isabella instructs Mike who switches on the stereo system in the car while she close her eyes listening to the cool song from the radio . They had not driven for long when Mike growls loudly bring the car to an immediate halt .
“ What the hell ! ”she cursed a snapping her eyes open . She opens the door stepping out of her G wagon .
“ You driver almost knocked me out splashing dirty water on my pants. ” The young man retorted as Isabella looked at him from head to toe .
“ Were you too blind that you could not see my car coming ? ” she ask rudely taking the man aback.
“ You should not talk to me in such manner , this route was made for pedestrians and not vehicles . ” the young man counters completely pissed off at the manner she spoke .
“ You paupers believe you can play the reverse psychology when you are the one at fault .” Isabella utter frowning her face in pure disgust .
“ You should apologize to me Miss and not take sides with him when he is clearly wrong .” The man who was looking dirty said utterly confused about her attitude .
“ I know your kind ,see to your outfit .” she said handing her black card to him .
“ A simple sorry will do and not this .” The young man said in disdain , he flung her black card into the muddy water , taking his bicycle he rode off splashing a huge deal of mud on Isabella and Mike .
“ Such an idiot ! ” She curse underneath her breath
“ I am sorry my lady .
I'll go after him . ” Mike said to his boss .
“ This is your fault Mr Man and mind you ,you are fired !” she yells attracting onlookers .
“ please ma'am ” Mike pleads Isabella who ignored his pleas , she got into the car driving off splashing mud on him .
She is a boss of her own , some people called her cocky and egoistic,she cares less . She owned one of the leading company which sold a hundred percent human hair which was in trend aside that she was also into beauty and cosmetics .
Isabella Blair had everything at her beck and call , everything was answerable unto her . No maid or housd hold staff lasted longer than a week in her home except Josh who had been able to tolerate her excesses and vulnerability as well .
She arrived Hiltons Hospital, she got out of the car cat walking inside the huge edifice , nurses and doctors who saw her bow slightly,she was one of the largest shareholders of the Hilton's. She barges into Karen's office who was busy with a stripper . She was bent over the table her hair scattered all over her face . She is a moaning mess indeed .
“ I can see you are taking care of your patient properly .” Isabella spoke sarcastically as she settled onto the couch. Karen shivered exploding in ecstacy as she finally came .
“ That was crazy .” She said aloud wiping herself clean with a wet wipe .
“ What do you say is wrong with you ? ” Karen asked settling on the other side of the couch .
“ I have been feeling nauseous and been throwing up since on Saturday .” Isabella replied Crossing her legs and leaning against the pillow propped against her back .
“ Let us see .” Karen said picking a syringe, she took Isabella's blood sample and handed it to an intern to take it to the laboratory for test .
“ What next ? ” Isabella asks rubbing the spot where Karen pierced with a syringe .
“ wait for the result of the test . ” Karen answers .
“ What other symptoms have you been having ? ” Karen question further
“ Everything suddenly smells awful including my body cologne, I find it difficult to eat too . ” Isabella replies puckering her brows .
“ When last did you see your monthly period ? ”
“ Ummm ..... Last month , why this questions ? ” Isabella snorts flatly
“ from your symptoms I think you are pregnant since you have not seen your period this month . ” Karen states firmly as Isabella eyes bulged out . She shook her head negatively .
“ That is not possible . ” she defended
“ we will see to that . ” Karen answered smirking mischievously .
“ All I'm saying is I am the CEO I can not be pregnant .I am not even married .” she reminds Karen her best friend.
“ And the crazy sex you had ? ” Karen inquires raising her brows as Isabella eyes shone like she had just seen a ghost .
“ The one night stand ? ” .
Isabella's mind bubbles with unending thoughts , her best friend had left her to herself to attend to some patient's file on her desk . The door squeak open after a knock which Karen responded with a come in . It was the intern Doctor who had just left thirty minutes ago.“ Doctor Karen , here is the result of the test . ” The intern says as he bows slightly before walking out of the office after a nod if approval from Karen . She heaves a sigh before opening the white envelope which contains the test result from the laboratory .“ Be fast with that .” Isabella snaps coldly “ Keep that hot blood to yourself Isa ,you are carrying a child already ” Karen replies that makes her best friend Isabella scoff hard and loud at the same time .“ Quit that silly talk ” Isabella snorts flatly while Karen chuckles giving her a ‘ see I told you ’ look .“ What ? ” Isabella asks narrowing her eyes “ You are pregnant Isabella .” Karen drops the bombast .“ No , no no ! ” Isabella exclaims im

He leaves forgetting to pick up the pay slip from the saucy secretary .Joseph boards a bike to the new city's hospital located at the eastern side of the city, he urged the cyclist to increase his speed for he is in a hurry . He arrived the hospital and pays the cyclist walking hastily when he sight the caution sign of no running in the lobby. Joseph turned left to the emergency unit there he meets Mark who paces around with a sweat filled .“ How is she doing Mark ? ” Joseph asks startling the worried looking Mark“ She has been in there for over forty-five minutes and I am really afraid Joe . I hope she makes it . ” Mark answers sighing dejectedly while Joseph slips on the floor tears clouding his eyes . He lets them slides down freely on his face without making any attempt to dry them . “ Mark, how long will I continue ? Just how long cause I am damn tired
“ Isabella ? ” Mr Blair calls his eyes bulging out .“ phewww ..... So sorry .” she rushed her words running out of the dining room. Luther goes after her .She runs all the way into her room , she slams the door hard and locks it after so Luther doesn't come in . She hated pity attention and what happened down stairs was an exact example of one . She closes the faucet after rinsing her mouth for the umpteenth time . She comes out of the toilet wearing a frown on her face . Why won't he just let her be ? Why ? Isabella mutters inaudibly to herself ignoring Luther who stood at the door Inquiring if she was doing fine .“ Isabella , I just want to know if you are good .” Luther's voice boomed from the door again “ I want to be left alone Luther . Leave . ” Isabella orders coldly. She settles onto the Queen sized bed completely drained pulling the duvet over herself , she slowly drifts into sleep .**** The soft breeze blows Harry's hair, he picks the elastic band on the lamp

Her breasts dangled dangerously as she moved towards him . “ Do not come any closer Anne. ” Harry warns to Anne's disbelief “ Why should I not ? ” Anne inquires mo
“ You again ? ” Isabella asks letting out a very loud scoff wearing a huge scowl on her face . Memories of how he splashed mud on her dress came rushing in.“ So you're actually out of job , I thought you were a billionaire. ” Isabella remarks sarcastically staring at Joseph with huge disdain written on her face .“ Do you know him ? ” Karen asks chirping in the duo's conversation .“ No , I do not know jobless people . ” Isabella spat rudely getting up from her seat “ You said he was your sp—” “ A poor man can not be my speck Karen , his belts are not even expensive to suite my taste and he seems like one who came from a long line of beggars . ” Isabella replies shutting her friend rudely .“ Bella ! ” Karen cautioned her best friend who is unbelievably rude at the moment .“ You can talk down on me Isabella Blair but not talk or refer to my family as long line of beggars . I may not be your speck but tell me off with respect .” Joseph said in a cold voice completely pissed off
