Miriam and her sister Eleanor have been sitting in the doctor's office patiently waiting for the test result. The tension in the room was apparent, Eleanor held her sister's hand before giving it a gentle squeeze. "Don't worry Miriam, everything would be fine." Eleanor let out making Miriam stare at her tummy. "Thank you so much for sticking by my side," Miriam let out a bit shakily."Of course, I would always be here for you." Eleanor let out with a fragile smile."You know Eleanor, I'm troubled and uneasy because I don't want to guess that I would be carrying a stranger's baby." Miriam let out. "Don't think too much about it or you might start having stupid thoughts." Eleanor let out as the door flickered open showing the doctor who trudged inside holding a paper in her grip. "Doctor, is everything okay?" Miriam asked frightened about what the doctor might say. "Yes, everything is fine. you don't have to worry about a single thing," The doctor let out with a smile that made Miriam'

"Doris, are you sure?" Miriam asked unbelievably. "Yes, your prince charming is present in the church. He's ready to have his beautiful princess." Doris squealed happily. "Thank you, Lord," Miriam said, closing her eyes to say a little prayer. She opened her eyes before letting out an enormous puff. "Did you see what I have been telling you about? Christian loves you so much." Eleanor let out making Miriam nod in agreement. Soon enough, the church was quiet as a grief yard as people sat down quietly waiting for the bride's arrival. Christian stood by the altar with his best man beside him! His expression was unexplainable. The cute little kids dressed in their best clothing soon emerged inside the church with a basket of flowers as they tickled little by little on the floor. Eleanor and Miriam came right after them. Their step was slow and calculated. The cameras flickered everywhere as the Cameraman aimed to get a good shot of the bride. Christian glared at Miriam intensely as a

The moisture of the water was cold and chilly as Carlos gritted his teeth concurrently. He held Miriam in a bridal style as he trudged out of the stream, he dropped her slowly on the sandy grit before placing a hand on her forehead. Miriam's eyes were shut tightly! She seemed to have lost consciousness.Carlos crouched close to her body. He placed his head on her chest attempting to feel her heartbeat but he wasn't satisfied, he raised his head from her chest before quickly placing his hand on her neck to swirl her head gently to the other side but she didn't make a move which left him bothered. He thought of waking her up but it would be of no use, of course, she didn't have any idea of what was happening right now. Carlos had never been this close to any female human except for his secretary. He was having a second thought about trying what was palpitating in his head. After much thought, he bent low before giving Miriam mouth-to-mouth respiration. His lips touched hers in a kissi

Carlos had gone home to clean up and he was back shortly with what he had cooked for Miriam. She hadn't had anything to eat and he had prepared porridge for her, he was currently dishing out some portion of it to a bowl for her to eat. "I know that you haven't eaten anything. I decided to prepare you something to eat," Carlos let out but Miriam ignored him as she stared into space. "Here, have a taste." Carlos let you, proffering a full spoon of porridge close to Miriam's lips but she shoved the spoon away harshly making it content to drop to the floor. Carlos crouches down to pick up the spoon."You have to eat or the drugs wouldn't work, trust me! You would only get weaker." Carlos let out inching the bowl closer to Miriam. She scoffed angrily, shoving the bowl away as the content spilled to the floor. "What's wrong with you? Did I ever tell you that I was hungry? Don't you get the hint that I don't like it here and just want to be left to die?" Miriam muttered angrily. "Just l

The next day, Eleanor hadn't had any sleep since last night, she was tired and had swollen red eyes. She couldn't sleep after what her sister had schemed on taking her life. Eleanor had ended up looking after Miriam keenly throughout the night, she didn't want her sister to try another stupid move again.She was presently in the kitchen making herself a cup of tea for both she and Doris. Her hands ruffled her hair before a small groan left her lips. She had been too shocked about Miriam's behavior lately. "You know that Doris? I would never have believed anybody if they would have told me there would come a day when Miriam would want to take her own life. I was so frightened yesterday," Eleanor said, clutching her neck before rubbing it softly."She almost drank the whole content of this bottle. Thank God I showed up early or things might have escalated, I don't know why she wanted to kill that poor child so keenly?" Eleanor let out sipping from the smoky cup of coffee while clutchin
