Rose left Mike’s house with tears in her eyes. She blocked him from all her socials, deleted all their messages and his photos from her phone. She had made up her mind to move on. Although, part of her wanted to forgive him, but she wasn’t ready to risk her future all because of love.Rose was devastated, spending nights in clubs became a routine for her. Even though this caused her to miss work, it was a coping mechanism for her after the break up.Her phone rang. She picked it up.“Good evening, Rose,” came a stern voice, it was the manager of the cement factory.“ If you don’t need this job anymore, you can resign. There are plenty of people begging to work here, you can’t just not show up for five days without informing me. If I don’t see you tomorrow, you’re fired.”The following day, Rose showed up at work with a terrible hangover. “Good morning sir,” she said with her red and tired eyes, barely the toll the nights had taken on her. “I’m sorry, sir. ”I fell ill, but I think I

“Good. And you’ve covered all the tracks?” Austin asked Robin.“Yes, sir,” Robin responded with a stern voice.“Is everyone in your squad safe?” Austin asked, eyes still on the document he was signing.“Yes, sir,” Robin replied.“Well, I have another job for you,” Austin said, handing him a bag of cash and showing him a picture of Rose.“I don’t care how you do it, but I want the baby gone,” Austin instructed.Robin nodded.Rose was unaware of the attack planned toward her. However, she was determined and continued to push through each day. She’s now four months pregnant, and she’s still striving to survive by working for long hours at the cement factory.She noticed the stares of disapproval she received at work, people wondered how a pregnant woman could do such a job. But Rose knew she couldn’t stop. She had to push herself.Many of her co-workers criticized her, because she was a little sluggish.Rose knew that very soon, she would be forced to quit the job at some point.She even

The police officer ignored them and continued, reading her Miranda rights to her. “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you can afford an attorney. If you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.”As the police put Sonia in handcuffs, Rose’s phone rang. “Oh that's probably Austin,” Rose said to herself, with relief.The doctor handed her the phone. She got more curious when she saw “No caller ID,” but she picked up.“Hello?”A deep, cold voice came in:“You bitch! I knew you were not dead.”“Who are you?” Rose shouted, putting the phone on speaker.“I might have messed up that operation, but trust me, next time I get you, I'm taking your head.” “Who are you?” Rose yelled again.He chucked. “Sorry, two heads, actually. Yours and that dumbass woman who saved your life.” He cut the call instantly.All of them in the room heard the conversation, and the room went

As Sonia was about to dial 911, a call came in. It was a colleague from work. She cut the call and dialed 911 again, but the colleague called back.“Please, Sarah, I’m busy,” she said in a cold tone, because the man holding the gun had already gotten down from the car, just as she was about to end the call again.“Wait! It’s an order from the boss,” Sarah shouted.“He sent some men to your house to give some documents to review before tomorrow so he can sign them first thing in the morning. He said they were very urgent,” Sarah explained.“Oh, thank you, Sarah. But I haven’t seen these faces before,” Sonia replied signaling Frank to be patient. “Yes, ma. They’re the new driver and security we just employed in the Administrative department. “Okay,” thank you. Sonia felt a wave of relief.“Babe, what’s going on, please?” Frank asked.“Oh, it’s nothing. It's a delivery from work, I’d go attend to them at the door,” Sonia replied walking casually toward the door.“Hey, good afternoon,

Rose’s heart was pounding as she finally looked at the man. She was surprised to see that it wasn’t Austin. It was a man around his early 40’s. She was in shock, but she felt relief. “Woman, are you sure you’re alright?” the man asked as Rose looked at him in shock.“Oh, nothing. I’m sorry. Nice shoes, by the way,” Rose complimented him. “Thank you,” he responded.Rose went to meet Sonia at the section she was calling her from.“Look at these pink socks, aren’t they lovely? This would be so cool, if it was a girl we were expecting?”Rose went silent.“Huh? Don’t you think so?” Sonia asked again. “Oh, yes. But I don’t think it’s a girl,” Rose answered.“Why?” Sonia asked.“Let me just say, I can feel it”“Oh, okay,” Sonia replied as she returned the socks.As they shopped, Sonia noticed her mood was off.“Talk to me, Rose. What’s wrong? You look really worried,” Sonia asked, knowing something was wrong.“I’m not sure I can afford all these items for the baby. I still need some money
