Fifteen minutes later, Harris, who was sitting on the bench outside the room, stood up and started pacing furiously.He ran his hands through his hair and glanced at the door with bloodshot eyes.Rachel could still be heard, but he couldn't do anything which made him really angry.Richard, who had gone to do a call earlier, came back and said, “I have told the family, they are on their way.”Harris gave a slight nod and sat down back on the chair. Then he leaned his head on the wall and started blaming himself for his carelessness.“Why didn’t I follow her? Why did I let her go alone?” Harris muttered angrily. “If I had gone with her, nothing of such would have happened ”. He said with a sad smile.“Don’t do that man, this isn’t your fault and you know it. They planned it man, they used someone on the inside and even the bodyguard couldn’t stop them.” Richard said softly, trying to calm Harris.Suddenly, the double doors swung open revealing the doctor who came out with a grim face.
“Freeze, hands in the air”. The head of the bodyguard said coldly as he entered, followed by the full squad of the Jones and Davis bodyguards.Harris and Richard also entered with a cold look on their faces, and when Richard pointed his gun at Leo, he quickly raised his hands and shouted with fear on his face, “Wait”.As for Linda , she dropped to her knees shaking with fear, while Matthew tried to flee, but he was caught back by Harris.Harris charged straight toward him and tackled him with a terrifying force.Matthew fell heavily to the ground and Harris, who was emitting a dark aura, walked close to him and started landing blow after blow with his fists until Richard yanked him off.“Take care of Rachel”. Richard said, which made him finally stop. He stared at Rachel whose face was pale and ran towards her.Even though Richard yanked Harris off earlier, he felt that the beating was not enough, so he took over and started punching Matthew who was screaming like a pig being slaught
Meanwhile at the hospital, Freda screamed as another contraction ripped through her body.“I-It’s too soon”. She cried and gripped the bed rails hard.“You are doing great, baby”. Hilary whispered and held her hand tight as he added. “Just breathe darling.”As Hilary was saying this, the doctors rushed her inside the emergency room quickly because her labor had started.Hilary, who was scared of his wife going through the pain alone, quickly got dressed and entered the room to assist her while the rest stayed outside the ward.Genevieve sat quietly in the corner with baby Michael still in her arms, as her mind kept drifting back to Rachel whose location was still unknown.“Aunty, Rachel and Freda will be ok right? Olivia asked quietly and sat down beside Genevieve.“Yes darling”. Genevieve said with a heavy heart.On the other hand, Mr Davis and Mr Jones paced the waiting room just outside as their phones were glued to their ears, demanding updates every two minutes.They were fighti
Richard’s words were like a thunderstorm, and suddenly, they all gasp with widened eyes.Olivia covered her mouth in shock, while Mr Jones took a step forward with a dumbfounded look on his face.“What?” Mr Davis said in disbelief and stared at Richard who was gritting his teeth with a serious look.As they were still trying to process Richard’s words fully, Freda suddenly bent a little and clutched her stomach as she felt pain.“H-Hilary, something’s not right”. she cried out, her face contorting in pain.Just as they were wondering what was happening, a loud splash hit the floor.Olivia’s eyes flew wide. “Her water just broke”. She said and pointed at Freda’s clothes and the floor which was now wet.“Oh My God! Freda”. Hilary exclaimed and rushed to her side and quickly held her to stabilize herself.“I…I can’t, It hurts so bad”. Freda whimpered with a painful expression as she took in a deep breath.Seeing this, chaos erupted in the living room because they were not facing one p
Unaware of the danger lurking in the shadows, Rachel and Harris strolled into the children’s section of the mall, with their hands intertwined. The shelves were filled with tiny onesies, soft toys, and colorful baby blankets. Rachel’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she picked up a pair of matching baby socks. “Look at these darlings”. She giggled as she placed the socks over her stomach and added . “They are so tiny”. Harris saw her action and chuckled, so he smiled warmly and said to her, “Just like our little one’s going to be.” Rachel blushed when she heard this. She winked at him which made him laugh. They continued shopping for several minutes, moving from each section to another section. Harris busied himself inspecting a set of designer strollers while Rachel paused in step as she rested her hand on her stomach. Just then, she leaned toward him and said, “Babe, I’m feeling pressed. I need to use the restroom.” “Want me to come with you?” Harris asked instinctively as
The next morning, Rachel woke up feeling more energized than ever.The reason was because she was finally going out after months of staying indoors.She turned around and saw that Harris was already awake and was staring at her with a tender smile.Blushing, she greeted him, “Good morning, babe.”“Good morning, my queen,” he replied to her with a warm voice. Then he reached over to touch her growing belly and added, “how are you both doing today?”Seeing his gesture, Rachel giggled and answered, “We are doing just fine”. “Babe, it’s time to get ready,” she added cheerfully.Harris let out a small groan, and asked, “already?” He glanced at the clock and saw that it was 8:00 a.m.So he stared at her bright and eager eyes, and chuckled.“We are just going to shop for about two hours. So we should be back by 10.” He said with a smile.Hearing that there was limited time, Rachel’s face fell. “But I don’t want to come back that early,” she said with a slight pout.Seeing her cute expres
