Sophia picks up a gift card from the list of items lying on the floor, “Oh… this is not for me.” She hands it over to Alex, “This card has your name on it.”Alex took it and looked at it. It didn't go beyond his notice that his girlfriend totally avoided what he said to her earlier, but he would just let it go.They ended up exchanging their gifts. At some point during the process, they all got emotional about the thoughtful gifts they all got. Sophia got a box of diamond pieces of jewellery, a Christmas card, a big teddy bear– that got her cackling though, and a MacBook.Alex got a Christmas card too, some sports attire– he had an inkling that it would be from Cynthia cos that girl wanted him to go boxing on his birthday, he got a headset too because he likes music a lot and he finally got a Rolex designer wristwatch.Cynthia was the only one who didn't get a Christmas card. This made them conclude that the lovely cards were from her. Well, She got some cake equipment like an oven, a

“Cynthia, please ask my baby to wake up.” Alex strained out from the driver's seat. He looked between the road and at his girlfriend through the rearview mirror. He frustratedly hit his hands on the driving wheel when the traffic light turned red. If he were to be the one in front, he wouldn’t have minded the traffic light at all.At the back of the car, Cynthia was shaking profusely. Her lips trembled and her eyes kept overflowing with tears. They were all to be blamed for Sophia's current condition. If anything happens to Sophia, they will all be doomed.“Is there no other way for you to get to the hospital? Sophia is bleeding profusely– Alex, she's losing a lot of blood.” Cynthia was able to get out of her jittery nerves.Alex looked to his right to see that the cars were moving to the right side, but he was supposed to take the straight road cos that's the road leading to the hospital. It was about 30 seconds remaining for the traffic light to turn to green but that felt like an e

“Please can you repeat what you said earlier?” Alex reiterated, still shocked by the news.“I said that my team and I are so sorry to announce to you that she lost the baby. We did our best to save her but the poison in her system would have succeeded in killing her if it didn't kill the baby.” The doctor repeated while he thought that they didn't hear him the first time.“Shit!” Alex cussed out and punched the closest wall. This motion startled both the doctor and Cynthia who was too dumbstruck to say anything. “Um… we didn't know that she was pregnant.” Cynthia finally speaks.The doctor looked surprised at this. It was then that he realised that they asked him to recap what he said earlier not because they didn't hear him but because they were hearing it for the first time– they were shocked at the news.“She was a few weeks gone from the scan we carried out on her earlier… precisely 4 weeks gone.” The doctor answered. He saw how the news disoriented Alex– how he was going around

‘Kaboom’ Alex's fist lands on Victor Mancini's face.“You had the nerve to try to kill my girlfriend. You must really be fearless.” Alex spat. Over the past 10 minutes after Sophia's call, he had been with the Kingston family, or better put– the notorious four. They were tied up in circles with their backs to each other on the floor. He had the urge to just end them completely, but he knew that the law would take its course no matter his status in society. He had to come home after hearing the news of Sophia's miscarriage. He had to look for where to let out his anger and the only place that came to his mind was the perpetrator's body. He wanted them to feel half of what he was feeling right now. This is very much unlike him but they have done more than enough, whom much is given, much is expected also.“As I said earlier, your girlfriend was not the target. We wanted you to be the one to take the drink but no! Sophia had to get in the way of our revenge. Well, I guess that half-bread

The ladies knew that they were in for a lot. They trembled in fear and strikes of tears ran down their faces, “Please spare us.” Cassandra pleaded in a shaky voice. She was against this whole arrangement at first because she knew that there would be no easy way out if they were caught, but they had to emotionally blackmail her into taking part in it, now look where that had gotten them.Cassandra’s answer caused Alex to chuckle in amusement, “I just lost my child because of you guys and for some shitty reason you think that I would want to let you go?” He asked in his newly adapted mild voice. This particular tone of his feared them more than the loud and snappy tone.“We didn't know that she was pregnant, and the poison wasn't even for her,” Clare replied.Alex huffed in disbelief, “Should that make me feel better? If it wasn't the baby who died, it would have been Sophia. And… would it have been better if you guys succeeded in your plans to kill me? There's one particular question t

Sophia woke up to see her boyfriend and her friends surrounding her in their various positions. There was this happiness that filled her soul to know that they slept in the same room with her without considering the uncomfortable position they slept in. The closest person to her right now is Cynthia who was sleeping an inch beside her. She gently tapped Cynthia which made Cynthia open her eyes almost immediately she was touched because she thought that Sophia might be in any form of discomfort.“Sophia, is everything okay? Do you want me to call the doctor?” Cynthia rushed out.Sophia shook her head sideways, “No, I'm fine. Just help me and touch the men.” Sophia requested.Cynthia walked over to them and tapped them. They both woke up with a startle, just like Cynthia, they thought that something was wrong with Sophia. When they looked around, they saw Sophia who already sat up on her bed. In a split second, Alex swiftly rushed to where she was sitting down and engulfed her in a hug.

“Please explain what you mean,” Jayden said, still looking a bit taken off guard by her response.“I knew that I was pregnant. Well… I didn't know for a fact because I didn’t do any tests in the hospital but I did a urine test with a pregnancy test kit and it came out positive. I didn't know how to tell my boyfriend because I didn't know how he would take it. I also knew that I would lose the child when I started bleeding out.” She was a bit sceptical about telling him because they had only been intimate just once and that was on the night after his birthday. They had already been aroused even before they went to the party venue, it was only natural that they completed what they started earlier.“I can't believe that you are saying this. Why would you keep something like that away from me? Have I ever given you any reasons to doubt my love for you? It takes two to tangle, have you forgotten?” Alex asked a series of questions. He was bothered that Sophia would think that he would by an
