It's been weeks since we have been staying in the village. It wasn't easy but with time, we got adapted to it. The thought of me living without Ryan had never for once crossed my mind but I had no choice, though I still love him dearly, knowing fully well that he wasn't at fault, I just hoped to see him later in the Future.I went down to our apartment to fetch some water for the family to use. Royce started schooling two weeks ago and fortunately, he has been coping well. Mom has started working with other village women to see the fishes that were caught by the men to people from other neighboring villages.We have only Three wells in the whole village. It usually is crowded in the evening time because people would have been back from farms and markets to fetch water. Luckily, those wells do not get dried which I'm grateful for.I walked into the scorching sun by two pm to fill the drums inside our house with water. Fetching at that time will save Royce and mom the stress of queuing

I woke up finding myself on a mat in nurse Vicky's house. I've gotten used to the house to know the look and the scent of the house. No matter what, you would smell different herbs and concoctions in her house. Initially, I've only watched historical doctors treating patients with herbs but here I am as a living witness."Are you awake?" The voice of my mother came."Mom" I calledI was glad to have woken up in the village and to see my mother sitting beside me. Suddenly, my brain recalled how I was trying to swim away from David, and seeing my mom beside me confused me more."Mom, there is fire on the mountain! Do you remember David? The cop that helped solve Royce's malpractice accusation, I saw him. I knew he was sent here to get us. You need to run away with Royce at this moment to avoid being caught" I rushed my words, feeling worried"Calm down Kiara" she tried to protest but I cut her off"Mom please listen to me, I won't forgive myself if anything happens to you and Royce. You

The village was interesting day by day. I made a lot of friends, both old and young and I've commenced participating in the village activities. Royce of a dickhead knew about the fun night at the market square all this while and didn't tell me. Even mom betrayed me by getting notified but she thought I wouldn't wanna get involved. I wondered where they got the mentality from, it was fun to stupor and I always watched toward the dark hour just to have fun with the other villagers.Yesterday made it two weeks that I was treated by nurse Vicky. Yet, Leonard refused to kick as expected. I sat in a corner during the night's fun hours, with no interest in dancing and singing. All that occupied my heart was the evacuation. I wasn't ready for it! I wasn't ready to lose my son! All my sacrifice would be in vain if Leonard refused to respond. I didn't know when I started sobbing till a little girl of age six walked towards me."You are Kiara right?" She asked with her baby voiceI raised my he

"What? Does Ryan have an accident? Oh my goodness!" Pearl exclaimed with shock. She walked closer to Laura angrily and dragged her hair."All these wouldn't have been happening if you didn't show up and requested to be his wife" she Shouted at her"Argh" Laura groaned"Bitch! I warned Kiara not to trust you but she loved you so much as a bestie. Idiot" she yelled and keep slapping her face"Stop Pearl! Show some respect" madam first lady came in between them" I'll not forgive you if anything happens to my brother, Bitch!" She spitted on her before taking her to leave."This girl is getting worse day by day, unbelievable!" Madam first lady was surprised by her actions and quickly ordered the maids to get Laura cleaned up. Shortly, they both left for the hospital.Ryan was taken to their family hospital, so it was very easy for them to locate the place. They both rushed to the receptionist who directed them to the hospital's intensive care unit."Where is my son?" She asked the nurse s

David and I kept gaping at each other in awe. I'm sure the delivery men would be wondering if something was wrong."Again?" I shouted"Madam, are you Kiara Smith?" He implored when he noticed I wasn't going to respond anytime soon."Y-ye-yes, I am* I stuttered"Let's offload your packages" he uttered and wanted to start offloading when David called him."May I ask the reason you guys were arguing before?" He directed the question to the older one."Nothing much, just having doubts if this is the location sent to us. Can we pack them inside?" He furthered asked"Sure" I gestured to them.After uploading the packages that took nothing less than fifteen minutes. David and couldn't utter a word, we were also staring at them"Can you see I wasn't lying when I told you about my ghost helper?" I later found my voice to speak"I still can't believe it. Had it been Ryan isn't in a coma, he would have been the real Suspect. Have you ever thought of Liam helping you out?" She asked"I don't know
