THE PREGNANT VIRGIN AND THE RUTHLESS HEIR Chapter Sixty Eight
Kumba The restaurant is quieter than I expected, there is soft lighting and low music. The kind of place where conversations stay private, where nothing feels rushed, it's perfect, too perfect for the occasion.I needed somewhere quiet where me and Moraa could have a private chat without any distractions and this was perfect. I sit there for a few minutes before she arrives, my fingers loosely wrapped around a glass of water I haven’t touched. From the outside, I probably look calm. Collected. Like this is just another dinner, but it's not really another dinner, nothing about this feels normal.Every word Gesare said is still replaying in my head, word by word as she explained everything that happened to her, everything that Moraa did to her. She pushed me, I don’t know what I’m walking into tonight.But I know one thing, not walking in blind, I hear her before I see her.“Kumba?” I look up and there she is.Moraa smiling, her smile is warm, soft and familiar like nothing happened

MoraaI stare at my phone for a second after the call ends, I just stare.My reflection blurs faintly across the dark screen, but I’m not really seeing myself. I’m replaying his voice, he was calm and sounded normal and unbothered like nothing was wrong at all. Like nothing happened. A slow breath leaves my lips.“I told you,” I say, lowering the phone onto the table.“So?” my mother’s voice cuts in from across the room and I look up.My mom, Kerubo is watching me closely, arms folded, her expression sharp in that way it always is when she’s thinking five steps ahead of everyone else.“So,” I repeat, leaning back slightly, trying to steady the sudden rush of adrenaline in my chest. “He has no idea.”Her brows lift just a fraction. “No idea?”I shake my head. “None. He sounded completely normal. We’re even meeting up for dinner later.”For a second, she doesn’t say anything.Then slowly a small, calculating smile forms on her lips.“It seems,” she says, her voice low and measured, “y

KumbaThe nurse’s voice cuts through everything.“She is awake.”For a second, I don’t move, I just stare at her like I didn’t hear her properly, like my brain needs a second to catch up with what she just said. Then it hits.“She’s awake?” I repeat, already standing.The nurse nods with a small, reassuring smile. “You can go in.”That’s all I need.I don’t even realize how fast I’m moving until I’m already at the door, my hand on the handle, my chest tightening in a way that has nothing to do with fear this time.Relief and nervousness.Something else I can’t quite name.I push the door open slowly and there she is, Gesare.Lying in the hospital bed, pale but alive and awake.Her eyes shift toward the door, landing on me, and for a moment, everything else fades out.The machines, the hospital smell, the tension and all of it disappears.Because she’s here, and she is looking at me.“Hey” I say softly, stepping inside, my voice not quite steady yet.Her lips curve slightly, faint but

Kumba.I am still trying to steady everything inside me when there is a soft knock on the door.Before I can respond, it opens and my mother steps in, her eyes go straight to Gesare.And I watch the exact moment as relief washes over her face.“Oh, thank God,” she breathes, her shoulders dropping slightly as she moves closer. “You are awake.”Gesare gives her a small, tired smile. “Hi, Diane.”My mother doesn’t hesitate. She reaches out, gently touching Gesare’s arm like she needs to feel for herself that she is really here, really alive.“You scared me,” she says, her voice softer now, but there is still that underlying tremor of everything she has been holding in.“I am sorry,” Gesare murmurs.“You don’t apologize for something like that,” my mother says quickly, shaking her head. “You just, you get better okay?”I stay quiet for a second, watching them.There is something grounding about seeing my mother like this, so gentle and protective, she has never been like that with any of

Diane. The hospital corridor feels too bright.I sit there, but I don’t feel like I’m sitting. My body is still, but everything inside me is pacing, spiraling, refusing to settle.The smell of antiseptic clings to the air, sharp and cold, and every now and then a nurse passes by, their footsteps echoing in a way that makes the silence feel even heavier.Beside me is my sonKumba, he is restless.He hasn’t sat down properly since we got here. Even now, he is half standing and half leaning against the wall, his hands running through his hair over and over again like he’s trying to undo something that’s already been done and I watch him for a moment. Then the frustration rises again.“You left her alone,” I say, my voice low but sharp enough to cut through the silence.He stills slightly.“Mom”“You left her Kumba ,” I repeat, louder this time, the words fueled by fear more than anger, but they come out harsh anyway. “Alone in your house in her condition.”His jaw tightens.“I told you I

Kumba. I don’t remember parking the car or even how I got there.One second I’m pulling into the driveway, my mind already racing from the panic in my mother’s voice, and the next I’m inside the house standing over a pool of blood. Everything after that hits all at once.“Mom!” I call out, my voice sharper than I intend, already moving and that's when I see all the blood. My steps falter for half a second, my chest tightening so violently it almost knocks the air out of me as my eyes follow the trail of the blood and then I finally see her, Gesare just lying there motionless on the floor, her body soaked in her own blood.And something inside me breaks, I have never seen so much blood before. “Gesare” Her name leaves my mouth like a breath I have been holding my entire life as I rush forward, dropping to my knees beside her, this can’t be happening.My hands are already on her before I even think, turning her slightly, searching her face, her neck for anything.“Gesare, hey, hey,

MoraaI knew him Kumba like the back of my hand, and that was the problem.I knew the way Kumba spoke when he was telling the truth calm, measured, almost indifferent.And I knew the way he spoke when he was lying.Too smooth, too quick, like he had already rehearsed it in his head before the quest

Kumba.The moment I saw her, my blood was already boiling, I had been avoiding her for a reason, I didn't want to talk to her and yet there she was, in my house smiling like she hadn't betrayed me.I could feel my jaw tightening as I walked towards her, my steps long and delib

GesareI don’t think I have ever seen a gate argue with someone before, but that’s exactly what it feels like.I’m standing on the balcony, one hand resting lightly against the railing, watching the scene unfold below like it’s some kind of strange performance I wasn’t meant to witness.Moraa stand
