Catherine's POV *At the hospital* My hands trembled as I opened the envelope. Arthur kept on insisting I visited the hospital after I had been showing several symptoms of illness. I was scared of what could be in the envelope as I sat in the doctor's office waiting for her to come see me. She greeted me and entered the office, she sat down on her chair and opened the file. She took a deep breath and suddenly widened her eyes. "What is it doctor?" I said, I was almost running out of oxygen. She was silent at first and looked at me. "How is this possible?" She asked me as if in some kind of shock or amazement. At that point I was sure that whatever was in that file was not good news. "Tell me what the problem is doctor" I persisted as I could no longer tolerate the suspense. "You are 2 months pregnant" she stated firmly, from her tune you could tell that she couldn't believe it but was left with no other choice because the reports couldn't be wrong. "But I was told I will neve

Arthur's POVAt the hospital"It's okay doctor" I used my palms to clean my face."Sorry that I wasn't able to attend to you. I didn't want to waste time because your wife was in a critical position. Congratulations your wife and kids are fine now* the doctor stretched forth her hand for a handshake."Wait, you mean my wife and daughters are alive?" I asked again because I couldn't believe my ears. I felt like my ears were playing a cruel trick on me."Yes you can go and see them" the doctor smiled at me and walked away.Wait ! So this means I am now a father of two beautiful girls.My heart just couldn't contain my joy, I called my younger brother immediately."Louis, you have two nieces now. Two beautiful princesses" I said over the phone the moment he picked the call."What?" He sounded lost and confused "Yes, Louis , my wife ,was pregnant, come down to Shiline hospital as soon as possible. I will explain everything to you" I was so excited and ended the call before I ran into the

Catherine's POVMy family was having dinner like every other day until Mia began to cough."What's wrong with you Mia. Are you okay?" I gave her a glass of water to help her clear her throat."I'm okay mummy" she smiled and continued with her food. She soon excused herself from the dining and went to the room.Just then 8 men dressed all dressed in black, well armed and wearing masks flung my door open. I tried to run but they pointed a gun at Arthur, stopping us from making any move."Where is your daughter?" One of the men wrapped his hand around my neck and held me at gunpoint "What do you want? We will give you anything, just take anything you want and leave us alone" I pleaded with them ."Shut up and get us your daughter. She is what we need" another one ordered and I began to shiverI looked at Arthur and he gave me a disapproving look, I'm not sure that the men had noticed the gesture."I don't know where she is" I tried to sound as convincing as I could."Are you playing som

The days, the weeks and the months all went by so quickly and Lilian had kept Mia in her custody in the hopes that she would be able to get some kind of support since Mia was to be the next of kin of both of her parents.She was right actually as things began to work in her favor. She finally got custody of Mia and now Mia is being mistreated by her. Mia's autism makes it difficult for Lilian to leave her all by herself without keeping an eye on her or having someone do it for her. Mia got so many nannies and babysitters but none of them could go a full month without quitting their job. At one point Lilian almost murdered Mia. Mia on the other hand was doing well in school, her autism makes it very easy for her to understand things, a normal human being won't understand too quickly.But having good grades wasn't enough, everyone in class tried their best to avoid Mia as she was tagged the "weirdo ''. She was always bullied and no one wanted to be around her. Mia faced rejection at its

Twenty four hours had passed already and Lilian was supposed to be waking up from her induced coma. The corps were too impatient to wait until the next morning before they began to question her. They were already at the hospital, there was doubt about how terrified Lilian looked when she saw them approaching her room.Suddenly, there was an unexpected power outage in the hospital and everywhere was dark, they could hardly see even with their phone torches on. The outage went on for 30 minutes with the corps trying to figure out what went wrong. Power was restored but Lilian was nowhere to be found. Immediately, they placed a call to all stations ordering for her search, the supposed doctor who attended to her wasn't even in the hospital.The hospital staff even claimed that they didn't have such a doctor working there. The corps were more than confused as to where she had gone. A stop and search was immediately conducted on every moving vehicle in the street.Lilians's sudden disappea
