chapter 7

I was allowed to go back home by the police after writing my statement.on my way back home, I couldn't stop thinking about all that had happened

I was broken with what I just heard.I was still in disbelief.Why could he do that, it's very wrong to force her to love him.I wished at least he could be human enough to wait for her to give birth first

"My innocent unborn baby suffered a lot.I was not there to protect them.I hope you will now rest in peace"

I tried to collect the broken pieces of my heart. I was bleeding from inside. I  didn't have enough strength to drive anymore.I decided to take a break for a short while to cool my mind down.

I knew I could cause an accident if I continued driving

In the car, my mind was flooded with lots of questions. Once again, memories of the late Alicia were flooding in my mind.I staggered to restart my car ready to drive back home ,I was still not strong enough.  "What a Fuck!"Five men were right infront of my car standing with their guns pointed at me.

For a while my heart skipped a beat, since the place was isolated and scary.I knew I was not safe being there and maybe Luke's men were following me secretly.

"Get out or we all shoot you! How dare you double cross our boss!"

They ordered me out and I didn't have any choice but to slowly surrender.I knew I had betrayed Luke by involving the police and if I make one more mistake I will be dead.This were Luke's men definitely

The five men were masculined,very huge and tall. Their loud sounds roared like that of a lion. I was nothing compared to them I was to follow everything they  commanded me to do,

 they were so upset with the arrest of their boss.

" Please don't kill me  my wife needs me right now. Ha..have mercy on me please," I pleaded.

"You could have thought of your pregnant wife before involving the police, it's too late bro!"

To my surprise,they also knew my wife was pregnant!. I was surrounded with the whole five masculined men who were ready to finish me up.Their faces said it all.They were like hangry Lions.

I thought of all the hard time I went through trying to seek justice but it was just like jumping from a frying pan into fire.Problems after the other.

I thought of a possible way to save myself from this heartless people.

I had just decided to offer them the other half of the diamonds in exchange of my life,when I heard the police sirens surrounding the place we were.

"Ooooh! Thank you Lord,You have saved me from death"

The police followed me secretly after Luke had confessed to  them that his men were going to kill me on my way home.

They  arrested them and I was escorted home."What a day! Full of traumatic experiences"

                               ………

  

Amanda was eagerly waiting at home.She was in her last month of pregnancy.Being a father is all I have dreamed of and I couldn't wait to hold my baby in my arms.   Her condition made her dislike house managers a lot. She easly got irritated and she fired everyone I brought in within two or three days.

She thought of bringing in her step  sister to help her when she finally delivers and I had no option but to support her wish.I understood she needed someone who will be patient with her and also whom she could feel comfortable with and definitely her step sister was the perfect choice.They were great friends after all

One week later, Whitney, Amanda's step sister arrived to our mansion.

Whitney was a beautiful jovial and lively person.

Her beauty could not be compared to Amanda's because my wife was more beautiful with sexy curves.I thought I could choose her over again if given a chance to do so.I think I should not even think of comparing her to other women, that's weird,I thought.

Amanda started feeling unwell on Friday evening.I knew the day has finally arrived.She moved

restlessly as she cradled her belly gently overwhelmed that life was blossoming within her.

We  had been both excited and nervous counting down days until we could hold our baby in our arms.

I was there providing unwavering support as she went through the final stages of her pregnancy.As Amanda breathed through her contractions, l  held her hands offering words of encouragement."You are doing great Amanda, we can do this, just a little longer and we will be holding our baby."

I paced nervously in the hallway occasionally peeking into the room since the nurses couldn't allow me in during delivery time.

The moment finally arrived and she gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl. Her cries filled the room bringing tears of joy to everyone present.

I rushed in,  beaming with pride."You finally did it my love," I proudly,  happily said.

She smiled through as she held her new born in her arms, her heart  swelling with love.I could clearly see how happy she was and I knew all she wanted at the moment was support and love from me, her husband.I was fully there to give all that. We were determined to be the greatest parents we could be.

We  named our beautiful daughter "Ella"

Ella was my late mother's name and I had promised to name my daughter after my mom.This was a dream came true to me.

Our friends were there with us to witness the birth of our beloved daughter.I was much delighted to see my family grow.I knew with the help of her step sister whitney everything will be fine.
