Chris walked into the kitchen. Valerie too was also in the kitchen, sipping a cup of coffee as she sat on a chair. When she became aware of his presence, she raised her head and their eyes met. She then let out a smile.

“Finally, she is asleep. Phew!” Chris said, letting out a sigh of relief.

“Oh, thank God!” Valerie said and handed Chris a cup.

“That lady is upset for sure. She never cries so much I don’t kn…” Chris said as he grabbed a seat. “Darling, can’t I just convince you to let me look for a helper?”

Valerie chuckled and said “Uh, that again? I’m fine, we don’t need one.”

“I do think we do. We should look for a nanny. And besides, Claire and her will need at least a month to bond before our wedding day because they will most definitely spend the entire day together, or maybe up to a week until our honeymoon is over. We should start preparations as soon as possible.” Valerie was amused by that, playfully arguing if it wasn’t too soon for wedding plans.

    The news of Chris and Valerie’s engagement set the media ablaze. The last they had heard of Valerie was during her fiasco with Chase, a few days before their wedding. Since then, Valerie had literally just disappeared from the public eye. She had moved on and started living with Chris, but privately. She knew that if the news got out that she had moved in with her ex boyfriend’s twin, it would just be another scandal. She would have to go through the trouble of explaining that Chris and her were already friends before Chase happened; not that it would be any business of those bloggers and reporters to begin with.Since Claire’s birth, Chris and Valerie were officially together and Chris had finally decided to come out with it as he couldn’t hide his excitement anymore. He had shared a lovely picture of Valerie, in the flower garden looking ravishing as usual. Her dark, rich hair was let loose, flowing down to her back, her face covered in light makeup. Her body was covered in an impe

    As Chase stepped out, he bumped into Chris who stood by the door. “Eavesdropping, huh? How classic!” Chase said, his face beet red. Chris looked away, embarrassed. He hadn’t been expecting Chase to come out of the room when he did.“I’m just going to give you time to think that you have won here,” Chase warned.“Won? Are we in some sort of competition here?” Chris asked. Chase scoffed and said, “Ha! The modesty. Like you haven’t been having sex with my woman in your office and stuff...” Chris looked at Chase in disbelief of what he had just said. “Your woman!? That is very surprising, because the last time I checked, you dumped Valerie. And for the record you clearly told me that I was welcome to the ‘trash’ you had discarded.”Chase shrugged and said, “Pfft! Yeah, I said that but figuratively, not literally!”.“So what exactly are you accusing me of here, princess?” Chris asked.Chase stepped a bit closer to Chris, looking right into Chris’ eyes boldly, his eyes flaming with

    As soon as Chris stepped out, Chase shaking his head, he said “Uh-uh…I need a DNA test,” suddenly handing the baby over to Valerie as if it had burnt his palms. Barely a minute before he had taken the baby from Chris and asked him to step out. Even though Valerie was still weak and in immense pain for her Caesarean, she somehow found a bit of strength to sit up on the hospital bed, her eyes wide open in disbelief of what she had just heard. “A DNA test? I’m sure it’s another one of your childish tricks to just get attention because we both know this baby is yours,” Valerie told him calmly, holding her baby. “No! I don’t know that. This baby could be Chris’. That’s what I have to be sure of , if this baby is mine or Chris’ or somebody else,” Chase claimed.“Have you completely lost your mind? Chris has been nothing but …”“You know what the tragedy is, Valerie? You just forget too soon. That’s your problem! I rescued you from Chris’ snipers when they had almost killed you. It is

    As Chris held the door handle, he suddenly heard a loud gasp. Valerie’s eyes fluttered open and Chris’ heart skipped. He had been by her side, holding her hand, and praying for her recovery. Now, as she gazed up at him, he felt an overwhelming rush of emotions. “Oh, Valerie,” Chris whispered, his voice trembling with joy. He rushed back to her. “I thought I’d lost you. I was so scared.” He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close as tears of relief streamed down his face. She weakly raised her arms and caressed his cheek. “ Lost me? You saved me, Chris. I could hear every word you said. I think I might have been crossing over but…you brought me back,” she confessed. Valerie’s weak smile lit up the room. “I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I didn’t mean to scare you.”Chris’ grip on her tightened. “You never have to apologize to me, Valerie. I’m just grateful you’re back.” He paused, his voice cracking with emotion. “I love you, Valerie. I love you so much.” Valerie’s eyes locked ont

    “She has not regained consciousness yet and the doctor said her chances of waking up are low, they said she has four hours to wake or she will never wake up again,” Gracie said, crying.“She will wake up, don’t lose hope, ” he said and hung up.“No! Valerie! You can’t do this to me, Valerie,” he said as he recalled the dream he had had the previous night. He drove off to Grange hospital. He saw Gracie sitting on a bench, eyes swollen. She was a mess.“Sir?”she said, tears rolling down.“Valerie will be fine, pull yourself together,” he said, trying to comfort her.“How can l pull myself together, Chris? It’s only hours she has to wake up or she will…” she couldn’t say it. She couldn’t say that Valerie will die.“Let me take care of the situation here, go home and freshen up,” he said.“No l can’t! I need to be here for her, ” she refused.“Gracie, calm down and look at me…you’re a mess. Please go and rest. Valerie will wake up, I promise,” he said. She finally agreed to go hom

    The audio stopped playing, followed by a mocking silence. He froze. His heartbeat stopped. Everything still. Chris felt his tears coming out. “Damn me! Damn it, Chris…damn you!” he argued with himself. “I should have at least checked on her, l should have tried to…aaah damn!” he shouted angrily at himself as he threw a fist on the wall. Since Chris had left, he had never called Valerie again. She would occasionally drop in a message asking where he was and when he would be back, but he never replied. Knowing now how much danger she was in, he blamed himself for leaving without a second thought, without considering that she was pregnant and she needed all the care she could get. Without sparing another second, he grabbed his car keys and paced to his car like the world depended on it. The sports car roared, tyres screeching and it took off at the speed of light. For about three hours Chris drove the car as fast as he could. Finally, the high rise buildings started to show and he slow

    Days became weeks and gradually months without Chris’ return. He still kept his location a secret. Frankly, Valerie’s life had become a misery, a living nightmare. Despite being financially well off, she was emotionally and physically strained. Her life became a basic routine of prenatal appointments and work. It wasn’t long until she realized that living without Chris was so much worse than she thought. She eventually found a friend in Gracie, one of her workmates, she found her very entertaining.One Tuesday afternoon as she sat in the office lost in thought, she suddenly heard a bang on her desk, it was Gracie.“Gracie?” she shrieked, surprised.“Jesus Christ! Where the hell are you?l got in here and I called you a million times already. l was right in front of you but you were just…frozen,” Gracie complained. “Valerie, are you alright, darling?” “Oh? Yes l am fine.l just got a little off-guard,” Valerie said, rubbing her eyes.“A little off guard?” Gracie asked dubiously.

    For a while, Chris felt clenched in the fists of unrequited love. He knew he had to let go of his toxic sexual encounters with Valerie before they drove him insane. One Monday morning, when he could have been preparing for work or rather focused on his laptop in his office, he was in bed instead, staring at the crystal chandelier that hung from his ceiling. His mind was far away, drifting from his dry love life to his resentful relationship with his twin brother, Chase. His love life was nothing but a joke, from Tasha fleeing from him right from the altar after it had been revealled Tasha was pinning a baby on him that wasn't his, to being rejected by Valerie, the woman he loved the most. His twin brother, Chase! Oh, how he hated Chris with a passion. Chris wondered if the chandelier wouldn't just fall on him and end his misery. Suddenly, he stepped onto the floor and pulled away the blanket. He spread his bed neatly, walked to his closet and reached for a big suitcase. His mind w
