Rain was utterly shocked by what she heard. The doctor's words kept on echoing in her mind as tears subconsciously rolled down her face. Could it be that I committed so many hideous sins in my past life of which I am only paying for all those sins now? Rain questioned herself.
The doctor who seemed to have seen through all this cleared his throat before speaking "miss Arnold, are you telling me that you were not aware you lost your pregnancies through abortions?" Rain shook her head "no, I had no idea, I would never harm my own flesh and blood I can't! I really can't" she responded in a heavy voice while tears continuously rolled down her face."Well, you are telling me you had no idea but your mother was aware of this . She knew about all this so how can you say you don't know?"Rain abruptly raised her head and looked directly at the doctor. She shook her head in denial a couple of times failing to believe. "No, no! Mum didn't know either. If she knew about this, she would have scolded me" Rain defended."Miss Arnold, your mother knew about this, as a doctor, I would never tell such lies. The other lady who would normally accompany your mother to the hospital also knows about it" .The other lady? The other lady? Rain questioned herself as to who this other lady was and immediately she figured out who it was, she covered her mouth and dashed out of the doctor's office in tears. The doctor was a little shocked by her reaction and quickly ran after her."Oh miss Arnold, you need to take it easy on yourself. Remember that your recovery is top priority now" the doctor comforted Rain who was helplessly crying in the hall way."Mr Lee, is everything ok?" A tall young man in a blue suit paused and asked. The doctor looked at the person who directly called him by name."Oh, oh Mr Johnson, it's you? How are you?" The doctor greeted the young man in front of him with a slight bow. The young man's gaze shifted and he looked at the girl seated on the floor with her face covered. " What's wrong with her?" The young man asked again without responding to the doctor's greeting. The doctor whose name was Mr Lee looked at Rain and helplessly shook his head. "She is an unfortunate young lady I must say. Alot is going on with her and she just got to discover a few things today. Sad for her, she hasn't taken it lightly"."What about her family?" The young man asked again. Mr Lee sighed heavily, "that's the sad part of it all. The people who ought to protect her are up to destroy her. Atleast that's my assumption, I am not sure if this is a fact for sure" Mr Lee responded with a serious expression on his face. The young man looked at Mr Lee, then looked at the helpless young lady who was silently crying. He walked over to her side and knelt beside her on one knee."Miss, come with me. I have an offer for you and I don't know if you will be interested or not. Ask for any amount of money and I will give you but you need to do something for me in return" the young man spoke in a deep and clear voice.Rain suddenly lifted her head and looked at the young man who knelt beside her with teary eyes. The young man was a little stunned with what he saw. He never thought this girl could be this beautiful. Despite being stunned, the young man didn't make any facial expressions, his face was straight as if everything were normal. Rain on the other hand just shook her head subconsciously . All she wanted was to leave that home covered in a web of lies and conspiracy. She was enraged by all this and wanted her own pound of flesh. The young man stood up straight and looked at Mr Lee, "organize her discharge papers and everything that's needed, give me her medication and everything needed for her recovery. Organize a highly professional nurse for her as well. Let me know as soon as you gather all this" the young man then shifted his gaze to Rain, "stop acting pitiful now, stand on your feet. Mr Lee will help you through all this. Follow his instructions" the young man said then walked away without giving Rain the chance to retort. Rain quickly stood up and asked Mr Lee "doctor, can you please tell me, who exactly is that man? Is he a family member of the famous Johnson family in this city?" Rain asked curiously." Come, let me walk you to your room, I will tell you" the doctor responded as they slowly walked to Rains ward. Allthat Rain needed right now was a scapegoat, something that could get her mind off all that had happened to her. Now she realized that if her mother and sister never bothered to tell her anything concerning the abortions, it simply means that they were responsible for all that happened. To make matters worse, on almost all the occasions, it's either tea or juice was served to me by mum or Natasha. Which means they worked together to kill my unborn children then put the blame entirely on me. I will definitely not show any of you mercy. Rain thought to herself.hey doctor, tell me who that man is" Rain quickly stood to her feet and questioned Mr Lee curiously. "Young lady, be patient, I will tell you all that you need to know. For now, let me walk you to your room" Mr Lee responded. Rain nodded her head and obediently walked to her hospital ward with the help of Mr Lee. Who could that man be? Why would he want to be so kind towards me? He mentioned an offer of which I would have to put in any amount of money. Good, it's very good for me that's if he is serious. But wait, what kind of offer could it be? What if it's something that will require me to go against my principles? Rain subconsciously shook her head. No, he seems like a good man. Rain had so many questions in mind. She was curious and wanted to know who this man was and what deal was going to be offered to her. Mrs Arnold, if really you are my biological mother, I will have no mercy on you. Just as you have shown no mercy on your daughter, I will have no mercy on you as my mother bu
Mr Arnold asked in a sharp tone. "the decision has already been made, there's nothing you can do to change it. No matter how much you shout, yell or do whatever, nothing will...."Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense, I wasn't talking to you nefarious woman" Mr Arnold interrupted his wife's words."Dad, please calm down, mum is right, I just have to get married to Zain, I have no choice. Besides, I am pregnant with his child " Natasha responded in a pitiful tone. Mr Arnold got the shock of his life. He never thought that such a day would come. Mr Arnold felt his knees weak and before he knew it, he fell to the chair.So this girl actually went behind her sisters back and started messing with her man? How could I have been so blind not to see the kind of games these people were playing? All this happened under my own roof and I couldn't protect my child. So pure and innocent, yet naive and stupid.Rain dear, look at what your kindness has landed you into. Mr Arnold thought to himself with a
In not less than 20 minutes after Mr Lee had settled in his office, he heard a knock at his door. As usual, he was reading a book that caught all his attention and didn't care to shift his gaze. He lazily responded "come in" without making any movement. Mr Arnold quickly walked in and sat on the chair opposite Mr Lee who at this point was deeply concentrating on the information he was reading.Upon seeing this, Mr Arnold cleared his throat before speaking "doctor, are you the one who has been handling my daughter's health?""I am fine, I hope you are fine too. Who is your daughter if I may ask?" Mr Lee responded still looking at the book in his hands.Mr Arnold sighed helplessly, this was indeed some weird doctor. "The young lady who just lost her pregnancy, Rain Arnold" .Mr Lee slowly took off his glasses and looked at the man seated on the other side of the table."Oho, so you are Mr Arnold? I see...what an irresponsible father you are. Don't tell me you didn't know your daughter h
Everyone in the living room was a little stunned by Mr Arnold's response. Mrs Arnold just dropped her head, failing to look at her husband who was furious at this point. The whole room was filled with silence and the atmosphere felt tense." I see you people have no shame, you see the way you are all seated right here? This is exactly how you were seated when you came asking for my first daughter's hand in marriage. Now you come again, seated in the same posture, asking for my second daughter's hand in marriage. Aren't you not ashamed? Isn't it not absurd?" Mr Arnold questioned.Everyone kept silent, no one dared to utter a word. Indeed Mr Arnold had a point with his question." Mr Arnold, I suggest we let bygones be bygones, let's move on for the sake of our children. We all know they will be parents sooner or later, now more than ever is the time we should put our heads together and strengthen them . Don't tell me that you will go against this marriage?" Mrs Williams spoke out."Of
Before she could give an answer, there was a loud thunderous sound that seemed to shake the entire building a little. Rain got startled and found herself holding the man in front of her.Upon feeling the soft hands of this woman around his waist, Gabriel's body suddenly turned stiff as he never comprehended that this girl would do such a thing.Rain immediately jumped off, quickly removing her hands around the man's waist.Gabriel cleared his throat before speaking, "young lady I'm not here to entertain you all day. I have so many things to do. Either you give me a yes, or no answer right now".Rain clenched her fist, if this man could really do as she said, then definitely she could get her revenge. Looking at how much influence he had..Rain subconsciously nodded her head. Gabriel saw this signal then smirked, " good, I'm glad you agreed. I will send someone to bring the documents so you can sign" he said as he prepared to leave."Wait! What if you fail or refuse to fulfill my wishe
Mrs Arnold was fuming with anger but seeing her husband walk in with a serious facial expression and the anger in his eyes, the flame of anger got put off.She mastered up her courage and spoke to her husband who was silently seated on the couch."You do know that with or without your consent, Zain and Natasha will definitely get married right?"Mr Arnold ignored his wife completely and quietly sat in a relaxed position, making himself comfortable with his eyes closed.Mrs Arnold felt like her words fell on deaf ears."I am talking to you, don't dare ignore me. You know this is serious" Mrs Arnold raised her voice a few decibels."You are busy making plans to get your second daughter married while you have no idea about the where-about of your first daughter. Since you don't want to find your child, I will find her myself because she is equally my daughter. I have no time for your tantrum right now" Mr Arnold said this as he slowly stood up and walked to his study."You will have to a
Before Mrs Arnold could say anything, her husband had already walked out.." Since you are playing stubborn, I don't think I need you anymore. You have proven to be useless to me" Mrs Arnold said this to herself."Mum, give Dad some time, he will come around" Natasha spoke calmly."I know he will never agree to this, the only way is to get rid of him because he is becoming worse than a thorn to me"."Mum no! you can't do that to Dad! He is my father" Natasha retorted."Oh, he is your father. Don't you want to marry Zain anymore? Don't you want to be called Mrs Williams anymore? Imagine the power and money you will have because of that title? I thought you were as ambitious as your mother but it turns out you are only a weakling" Mrs Arnold said in a firm tone."Mother, of course I really want Zain, he is a full packaged man, what else can I ask for? I am with you and I will support you mother".On the other side, Rain was so relaxed she felt bloated because of eating different types o
"Natasha, listen here, your father will probably be in a bad mood especially for this simple fact that we had the wedding cards printed out. He will probably refuse to eat but will surely agree to have a glass of water or juice. He will not want either of us to serve him anything, he won't agree to it so my solution is for me to poison the water in the dispenser and add some of the powdered poison to the coffee. Please don't have any water from the dispenser or any of the poisoned coffee. I will prepare dinner as always and I will make sure to poison his food as well just so we can get rid of him quickly. I am not up for games, I need money more than anything else right now" Mrs Arnold explained all this to her daughter in detail without leaving out any information.Natasha silently nodded, she didn't know if she still wanted to go through with the entire plan.Mrs Arnold noticed and her eyes darkened"Don't tell me you are having cold feet already?""Oh no, no mum, I am with you on t
