Chapter 30.

Immediately I settled in the car I felt sleepy, I couldn't keep my eyes open. I was so tired of the constant worrying, running and hiding in very dangerous terrain. One wrong move and I could have ended up breaking my neck,back and legs and loose the baby in the process. The baby I was trying so hard to protect.

How did my life turn from a boring routine to an episode of the walking dead ? All of these was happening because I fell in love with a dumbass. A handsome ,tall,white dumbass. And just like that my life turned into a Bollywood movie,the only things missing were the songs and people dancing around in colourful clothes.
The only difference between my life and a Bollywood movie was , my life didn't have a happily ever after ending . Things were never going to get better for me or for us- Marcus and I. We were a doomed pair, doomed from the very beginning. And it was high time I accepted the inevitable. I will not allow myself to pine over a man who wanted nothing to do with me and my child .

How dare he refuse to believe me? He will regret this one day ,I was sure as the sun will rise the next day . But until then I had to worry about myself and my baby. Make sure we were both safe and sound away from people who wanted to cause us any harm. I moved my body for the hundredth time to sit more comfortably .

" Are you okay?" Asked doctor Almasi.

A smile made its way on my lips. Despite everything going wrong ,some things were going right. A friend came through for me at the worst possible moment and helped me out. I appreciated his efforts to make me safe. If it were not for him,I would still be hiding behind that waterfall. My nose would be running,my teeth clacking and my body shivering from the cold .

" I am doing so much better now that I feel safer" I answered honestly

" Thank God you are safe. I was worried when you called" he said.

" You are my hero" I said in admiration.

" You are welcome"

" Are we going far?" I asked.

I was so wrapped up with my thoughts that I failed to ask where we were going. I guess it wouldn't matter where we were going as long as it meant I was safe.

" I am taking you to my house in upcountry. You will be safe there"

I was relieved that I was going somewhere secluded.

" That is okay with me ,thank you. "

When he didn't respond I closed my eyes for a few seconds. My phone which was well tucked away vibrated, reminding me that it was still in my possession. I checked my messages before a thought crept up in my mind and refused to leave.

" Can someone find me by tracking my phone?" I asked

" Yes,why?" He asked confused.

" I think the people after me,will still find me if I have my phone on me"

" You can just switch it off. The phone will show the last location it was before it was switched off" he informed me.

Taking his advice into consideration,I switched off my phone immediately. I don't think I will be lucky a second time round.
After I switched it off it dawned on me that none of my friends or family know where I was. Probably it was for the best, for their own safety and mine. Maybe I should send my parents a message. They would be worried sick.

" Almasi I need to ask you one last favour"

" Anything"

" Can you send a message to my parents and tell them that I am alright and safe and I will reach out to them when I can" I asked.

"I can certainly do that. I thought you would say something unattainable " he said with a chuckle.

I laughed at that statement . I had my share of asking for flavours and some were unreasonable.

" Could you please insist that they don't tell anyone that I reached out to them"

" I will do exactly what you say"

" Thank you"

" You don't have to thank me so much"

" Oh I think I do. You came to pick me up despite the danger you would be dragged into"

" You are my friend and my very good patient. I asked you to call me when you need anything and I meant it"

" You are a gem"

I rested my head on the chair and closed my eyes. The lurl from the car moving allowed me to fall asleep.

***************************************
Katelyn's POV

My due date was coming really fast. One week to go before I get this damn baby from inside me. We still don't know the gender of the child, well the dad didn't want to know the gender but I have a feeling it will be boy. If this was a gamble,I would place all my bets on a boy.

My life has been pretty interesting so far.
The love of my life was here with me. Taking care of my every whim and request while ensuring I was okay. I wish it would have been Marcus taking care of me and not his brother but beggars can't be choosers I suppose.

My relationship with Jake is complicated from my side. To him, I am the love of his life but to me he is only a means to an end . Someone I required for my plans to work. My goal was to make him fall in love with me unconditionally,so that he would do whatever I asked. Turns out all you have to do is stroke the man's ego and he will trip over his feet trying to please you .

I know you might be confused,so let me explain everything . I targeted Jake when his brother started loosing interest in me. I knew keeping a man like Marcus interests would be difficult so I did what any smart woman would do,found a backup. Backup boyfriend with a backup plan. Jake was my backup. He doesn't know it and I will ensure he never finds out.

He was the ticket I needed to infiltrate the family. With Marcus throwing me away,I needed someone else. We were on one of our getaways when Marcus got word that I was cheating. He didn't know who I was cheating with, so it was of no concequence on my side. He was so furious with me that he broke up with me ,all because his small ego was bruised. Imbecile!

Have you met the man? He has an ego the size of all the countries in the world combined. He could never admit he was in love with me and that was why he took the infidelity so personally. Apart from his deep pockets what else did he have to offer? His awful personality? His cold heart? He didn't have much else to offer in a relationship.

He was always a ladies man since we were kids. I had the opportunity to know him well as we were raised in the same circle. I knew his interest were lacking when he started presenting the signs. Postponing dates,sending gifts as apologies, lack of communication and so much more. I knew my time was almost over.

I remember Jake pining over me since as far as I can remember. Now that was a man lived with his heart in his sleeves. He desired me for so long but he could never get me. I decided to give him a chance eventually because I am a good person, with good intentions. And within no time he was madly in love with me. Ready to give me everything I ever wanted.

I started planting the seeds of jealousy early on in our relationship. From small small comments to comparing the two brothers. Since my little love sick puppy Jake wanted me so much ,he didn't realize the influence I had over him. With time he started hating his brother and advocating for his destruction.

I brought up the idea of embezzling money from the company because I had tried it once before but the people I worked with are all dead. You snitch you die. They were discovered quickly after the job was done and taken into custody. I knew those weak men will squeal when threatened,so I used my extensive network of hitmen and killed them.

I am not as heartless as you think by now but I will kill anyone who stands in my way. I used some of my hitmen yesterday. The target was Zawadi. She has been a pain in my ass since she met Marcus. I don't appreciate her making him fall in love with her. He was mine to use. Mine!

My phone rang and I knew it was some very anticipated good news .

" Is it done?" I asked in a tone that made me shiver.

When did I get this cold?

" Yes ma'am" he answered

" And her body?"

" We threw it the river" he answered pleased with his response.

" Are you stupid? " I screamed through the phone

" Ma'am?"

" What if someone finds her body?"

" No one will find it Ma'am,that river feeds to another river. A larger one"

" If her body is found I will kill you myself. " I hung up

I am surrounded my imbeciles! What on earth made them think that throwing a body in the river was a good move? How can they be the best when they are this sloppy? I placed my phone on the bed and sat at the edge. My neck hurt and my shoulders felt tense. I moved my head from the right to the left before I stood up again.

When I took a single step forward I felt water trickle down my thigh. Did I just pee myself? I bent forward ,ran a finger down my leg and I brought it to my nose. That was not pee.

" My water broke"
