Ciara was taken aback by the question. Aside the fact that she hadn’t expected that, she had not even remembered about her baby.She had been so engrossed with thinking about the situation of things that issues of her pregnancy completely evaded Ciara. Usually, that would have been her utmost concern. That would have been the first question that she would have asked, but mysteriously, it had completely evaded her memory. Ciara concluded that it had something to do with the attack. Besides, she was still recovering and trying to remember all that happened vividly, and not in flashes.Involuntarily, as soon as the question came out of Aunt Mary’s mouth, Ciara’s hand flew to her stomach, and she began to cradle it. She could not feel anything and Ciara became instantly worried. Tears welled up in her eyes.Aunt Mary watched this intently, and without being told, she had the answer to the question she asked. Aunt Mary became emotional. “You are pregnant,” she said. It wasn’t a question th

Ciara devoured the full plate of meal that Aunt Quinton had served her. If an elephant was presented to her right there and then, Ciara would eat it all up at a go. She was so famished that she shameless ate up what she was served, and thankfully, the food was well made.“After he knocked you off, he went for the knife,” Aunt Quinton stood beside Ciara and explained.Ciara hadn’t even asked for the full story yet, but she was somehow grateful that the woman was freely dishing them out to her. After she had managed to get Samule Fury off her back with the confrontation, Ciara had fallen on the bed and taken long hours of sleep. When Aunt Quinton entered her room to wake her up for dinner, she mentioned to Ciara that she had been worried, because Ciara had been sleeping for more than three hours. For Ciara, that was the longest she had slept for a long time now.Ciara gestured to Aunt Quinton to sit down and continue the gist. She was not a fan of treating domestic workers as such, and

Samuel Fury sat across from Colt at the fine dining restaurant. He stared at the man and hoped that this meeting would be quick and brief. When the waitress, a young and beautiful waitress brought their drinks, Samuel thought for a moment that it was Ciara Summer, because the waitress actually has the same hair color as Ciara. Samuel sat upright instantly, wondering if Ciara had escaped from the penthouse again, but when the waitress smiled at them politely, Samuel knew that she actually looked nothing like Ciara.His mind was only playing games with him.Besides, it would not be possible for anyone to get into the penthouse or even get out without his permission, because Samuel placed a code on it, so much so that a break in would never even occur which was why it was the only place he could think to take Ciara Summers when the cops advised him to take her out of the apartment for safety reasons, even if he absolutely hated the idea. And Samuel was not stupid enough to let Ciara or a

In a frenzy panic, Ciara quickly tossed the knife back to its position and sauntered to her room. She had no idea who was opening the door, and she did not even remember the camera when she heard the clicking sound. Whatever the case may be, Ciara did not want to just sit there and wait to be murdered, because it was highly possible that Samuel could have sent someone over to the penthouse to complete what the first man he hired failed to do.From Ciara’s room; the room Samuel loaned to her actually, found a small opening in the curtains. Inside the penthouse, the walls were glassed, so once the curtains are taken out, you could literally see every part of the rooms and spaces easily. It was a cozy and beautiful setting, but right now, it feels to Ciara as though she was in the lion’s den. If she had known that Samuel was capable of eliminating her, she would have vehemently stood against the order of coming to the penthouse for her supposed safety.From the opening, Ciara watched and

Ciara jolted awake by the unexpected buzzing of her phone. Somehow, she had managed to doze off after Samuel left the penthouse. He hadn’t said anything to her after their eyes met, and for a second, Ciara thought he was going to storm into the room and strangle her.Instead, he had walked out of the penthouse completely.“Hello, Ciara Summers on the line,” Ciara said drowsily. She did not even bother to check who was calling before picking. She had just jolted awake and reached for the ringing gadget.“Dear, are you alright? I have been worried sick about you,” Aunt Mary’s voice filtered into Ciara’s ears.“Yes, Aunt Mary, I am alright,” it wasn’t true, but Ciara did not want to put the woman through another bout of panic. Besides, she already had her health to worry about.“Aunt Mary was during the prison days, Ciara. I am your mother-in-law now,” Aunt Mary scolded lightly. Ciara could hear her chuckle in the background.Tears welled up in Ciara’s eyes. She would never understand wh
