Lost her baby

Sophia was devastated. She saw the stares coming from her family and her fiance. She bowed her head. She wished she could shed some tears if it could help to salvage the situation, but somehow, the tears were not coming.

“Explain? You still have the conscience to look at me and talk about explaining anything to me?” Kabir snapped, every single word coming from a bleeding heart.

Sophia couldn't retort back at him. The evidence was all over the place. She could also feel it, that she'd been raped but she didn't give her consent, in fact, she didn't know the scumbag that took advantage of her.

Diana was temporarily unable to utter a word when she stepped in and found her in this state. Everything unfolded before her like a scene. Everything played out perfectly without her, having to worry about anything going wrong

The room was condensed with the smell of hormones, a pure indication that she and whoever the scumbag was, had helped each other without reservation.

But the astonishing part of it to her was the rascal she paid to do a clean job didn't show up. In fact, he switched off his cell number and she couldn't reach him again.

She'd thought her plans had been ruined. All she'd plotted for a few weeks now, was going to waste but didn't expect that things would still end up the way she wanted.

Looks like her desire to own Kabir was eventually going to come through. She could see how disappointed he was, how he least expected Sophia to cheat on him.

It's all Sophia's fault. Every good thing comes to her. Her parents, wealth,beauty, she was born favoured but fortune smiled on her when they were swapped at birth.

Since her luck fell to her, she would ensure that she keep up with it. Kabir is a perfect gentleman. How can she let Sophia have him? Only she is qualified to have him.

And like it was at birth, she will have to swapped Kabir and have him instead of Sophia. She could find a scoundrel from the low countryside like herself and get entangled with after all, she'd ceased to be a virgin.

Whatever, whether the rascal disappointed her or someone from somewhere had helped her achieve her aim, she's happy, it ended, just as she wanted it to be.

Now, her belly is sweet. She could feel butterflies in her belly. The confusion, betrayal, lack of trust, all she wanted has come to be. Now, she has to build on what has been laid down.

“Kabir, don't get upset with my sister too hard. She might have done this with her lover but the one she'd always claim to love is you. She didn't expect it to end this way.

Sophia has a lot of male friends she hangs out with. Who knows who among them had subtly brought her here and they had a quick fun. Take a look at the dollar notes over there, who would give a woman such money if she didn't consent to it?

Besides growing up in the countryside, what do you expect, a lot of dirty things are being practiced and she probably might have picked up a habit of being with different men "I won't blame you if you walk away” Diana persuaded in a subtle way.

“No, Diana. I didn't do this with any lover. I have no one in my heart except Kabir. I believed I was drugged, it wasn't intentional.

You know me Diana. You know my sleeping and waking thoughts are all about Kabir. How can you say that, Diana?” Sophia scolded.

“What now, you just said she knows you well. You've been hanging out with friends and you couldn't think of a better time to be with your lover except our engagement night?” Kabir bellowed and furiously stepped out.

Sophia was dazed. Diana's words had gotten things complicated for her. Just like Kabir left, everyone filed out, with Diana Shawn being the last person behind.

As she was about to shut the door, Sophia got a glimpse of her facial expression. A beautiful smirk registered on her face and a sudden reality dawned on Sophia.

Diana gave her the drink…

“I knew this girl was a swine. Everything we did for her, has finally been paid off by her ungrateful attitude. She's made me lose face. My daughter is a bitch, a promiscuous swine from the countryside…”Beny Shawn stuttered.

Kabir was devastated. He went over and stood by his car. All the guests have all gone. Only his family and her family were left. They had to announce to everyone present that something went wrong and the celebrant had been taken to the hospital.

It was embarrassing because many knew they lied. She danced earlier, happy and healthy. How can she suddenly fell ill and taken to the hospital?

Only Kabir's family knew that Sophia was nowhere. Her cell phone was left on the table she stood up from. So they couldn't call her nor trace her.

It was only when Diana suggested that they should check the surveillance that they saw her being taken to a room by a waiter and soon a man walked into the room.

He'd thought she was waiting for their wedding night. But no, she's a casual woman. A promiscuous woman that couldn't think of another time to stab him in the heart but on their engagement night.

“I'm here for you,Kabir. You should have known my sister that she's not so decent like she pretends to be. I couldn't tell you about her true colours but you've seen it for yourself” Diana stuttered, walking over to place her head on Kabir's shoulders.

Seven months later, a pregnant Sophia was devasted, walking by the pedestrian. She was lost in thoughts, her mind occupied with a reality she just got to know.

As she walked, she didn't walk by the express but a car was approaching, focusing at her directly and she couldn't dodge, she didn't know where to turn to and out of fright she dodged aside just as the speeding car brushed past her and she fell down, her baby bump hitting against the concrete floor.

As her baby bump hit against the floor she felt her body wet. But luckily for her, the passerby came to her rescue and saw she was pregnant and took her to the hospital.

She went into a preterm labour as she was wheeled to the labour ward. She delivered the baby, saw him a little red head and premature. She heard his faint cry as the midwife took him away .

Before shutting her eyes, she saw the silhouette of a woman, it looked like Diana, but her weak and fainting body couldn't let her get a proper gaze at her before she fainted.

When she woke up later, she found no one by her bedside,not even her mother. The nurse walked into the ward and helped her to sit up.

She was sad. None of her family cared to come and see her. They neglected her in pregnancy because they claimed sje conceived out of wedlock to her lover.

“Nurse, how's my baby?” Sophia asked wearily. She didn't expect anyone from her family to indeed visit her. From that night of a miserable lover to the moment she had her baby, she'd become an outcast in her own family.

“I'm sorry, the baby was stillbirth” the nurse responded, holding her hands in a soft squeeze.

“Stillbirth, how?” Sophia demanded. she heard him cried, how can it be a stillbirth? How can she not have the baby after all she'd been through?

She lost everything. Her relationship, her fiance, her family but more than anything else, she lost this baby as well?

Oh no, why is life so unfair to her, why?
