Wrong Womb - Episode 20


 

My heart was in my mouth as she walked towards the boot of the car.

As she tried to lift it up, a car approached us.

It was Paul Kings.

He was huge, dark, and handsome.

Obviously in his early forties.

Paul Kings was a divorcee with a teenage son.

He got out of the car and hugged her.

He released her and wiped the sweat off her forehead with the back of his hand. "What are you still doing outside, huh?".

"I wanted to check some spies that had traced me down here".

"Stop stressing yourself because of the baby in your womb over things like this. Go inside and take a shower. I will burn them right inside the car to death".

She nodded. "Please make sure that they don't escape". She walked into the compound, leaving us behind.

Grace Craig sobbed and searched for her phone in her bag but our phones had slipped out of her bags when we had been forced into the boot.

Grace sobbed uncontrollably and bopped out ahead. "please, my friend is pregnant. At least save my friend".

"Bring them out of the boot". Paul Kings ordered and his men brought us out of the boot and we fell carelessly to the floor.

He smiled to himself. "Nothing on earth will make me not kill you both here today for trespassing in my estate".

Paul Kings had owned the whole estate.

That was the reason his house was the only building in the estate and that was the reason no one had stopped us when we were coming in.

They already prepared themselves.

I smiled at him. "You can't kill me, Paul Kings".

He fumed at me. "What did you just say?".

I rose to my feet and walked towards him daringly. "You can't kill me because I hold the key to everything you want".

"What are you talking about?".

"Rosa must have told you about Victory Charles".

He gasped at me. "The one that carries Raymond's baby?".

I smiled to myself. "Do you know the only thing hindering Raymond and Rosa from getting married?".

"What?"

"It is me. And you don't want Rosa to get married to Raymond, do you?".

"I am fine with it".

"If you are fine with it, then you are a fool. No wonder Rosa still sees you as a sex toy and will never see you as husband material. You are just a slave in her eyes because you behave like one".

He glared at me.

"Rosa is ambitious. She needs the both of you to survive but why does she love Raymond? She loves Raymond because he is younger than you and she will forever choose him over you. The only way she won't be able to end up with Raymond is because I am alive and I will never make that happen".

He sighed.

He obviously couldn't risk it.

He sighed again. "How sure are you that you completely have Raymond's heart?".

I shrugged. "Can we try it? Can you call Raymond and threaten him with my life and see him running over here for me?".

"You are so sure of yourself".

I nodded. "Just like the way you love Rosa, Raymond loves me that much. You both can do anything for the woman you love". I held his hand. "Paul Kings, why don't we make a deal without you staining your hands?".

He pulled off my grip and glared at me. "I am not threatened by your words".

I chuckled. "On our way over here this evening,  we had already informed Regina Donald that we were coming over here. So, if the famous freelancer and the lady carrying the heir of Bower bound in her womb are missing, who is the first person that Regina Donald will suspect? It will be you and hoodlums will set your broadcast station on fire no matter how you deny it. There is also a CCTV camera along the street that must have captured our vehicle following your princess in that car, and once Regina Donald watches that video, you are definitely gone for good. How does it sound? The famous chief executive officer of the famous Kachi broadcast station murdered the celebrity journalist and the love of Raymond's life. Three things will happen. Rosa James will deny you because she wouldn't want to lose Raymond's favor, Raymond will do everything in his power to lock you behind bars and the third thing is that your competitors will dig deeply into the case and you will be implicated. Don't you like the peace and quiet now? Must you stain your hands and ask for war?".

"Then you both have to make a deal and promise me that you will only tell  Regina Donald that you had truly followed my house girl but you didn't find anything today".

I shrugged. "Why not? I didn't see anything as far as I am concerned". I turned to my trembling friend. "Did you see anything, Grace Craig?".

"I absolutely saw nothing".

 

He released us into our car and I was the one that drove this time because Grace Craig was still trying to recover from the shock.

She sobbed as she looked at me. "I am so sorry for putting you in such a mess".

"Call Regina Donald and tell her everything".

"I don't understand?".

"Our lives were risked! Don't you plan on seeing this case to the end?".

"...but we promised Paul Kings..."

"You don't make promises with someone who tried to kill you. It is very risky. Look here, you are planning to still follow this case to the end right? If you don't tell Regina Donald everything, how will you survive when you are trapped again? Just tell her that your life will be in danger if she acts like she knows anything until you get the complete truth. Regina Donald is a wise woman. She will act with caution".

When I got home that night, I slept immediately.

 

When I got into my hotel the next day,  Nelson was there, eating in my hotel with my brother.

Nelson had obviously captured my brother's heart.

They were having a heart-to-heart discussion when I walked in.

My basket mouth brother had already told Nelson that I owned 'THE SINGLES EVE'.

Immediately Nelson sighted me, and he rushed to hug me. "Congratulations, Victory".

I pushed him and glared at him. "What do you think you are doing here?".

Collins walked to me and held my hand. "I turned down Raymond's help today. He wanted to help me with my art project but I disagreed. I can't risk the life of my blood sister because I want to develop myself. You actually rejected Nelson because you met a guy that has money more than Nelson!".

"Nelson left me because he couldn't carry Mum and Dad's illness five years ago! He abandoned me again recently when he thought I didn't have anything! He is only deceiving you all!!!". I fired in frustration.

"What about Raymond? You told me that the reason Raymond rejected your pregnancy at first was also because of the situation of your parents! So, what makes them different? They both acknowledged their wrongs because they have both come to love you! I also heard that another girl is carrying the child of Raymond in her womb and you are telling me that another man who wants to accept a baby that is not even his own doesn't love you? I won't believe such! Ever!". He walked out angrily.

I fumed at Nelson. "Why are you manipulating my family? Why!!!". I cried out.

He smiled to himself. "Victory, I will make life so frustrating for you that you will have no other option than to marry me".

I slapped him hard across his face. "Don't you ever threaten me!!!".

"Threaten? I am not even done yet. Raymond is on his way right now as we speak".

I trembled.

I could see Raymond's car approach the parking lot through the glass at that moment.

Nelson smiled at me. "You deceived him. You didn't tell him that you had a hotel, right?". He giggled and rushed to the parking lot.

I followed him.

Raymond observed the hotel but he didn't look at me, his eyes were on Nelson. "What did you say again?".

"I said, Victory owns this big hotel".

Raymond turned to me and searched my eyes. "Victory never lied to me. She only has a restaurant".

Nelson giggled at me. "Was that what you told him? You naughty girl! Why didn't you tell him the truth? Oh!". He gasped and looked at Raymond. "I think this is concerning the fish pond that she was trying to develop that Collins was telling me about. If she told you that she already had a big hotel, you wouldn't give her enough money, and she needed enough money to start her fish pond business".

Tears filled Raymond's eyes as he watched me. "I once asked you what business you wanted to invest in but you didn't tell me anything. You secretly did everything and that proves that you truly had secret intentions towards me".

I rushed to him and held his hand. "I swear, I really wanted to surprise you. Though I also needed money I didn't want to use you, I swear". I sobbed. "How can you even believe someone like Nelson over me?".

"If I didn't believe him, how would I have found out that you truly had a hotel? You are a liar!". He pushed me away. "My mother was right. You are still a gold digger. You still have intention towards Bower bound company, that is the reason you are still sticking with me! You don't love me at all and it hurts so much because I believed in you! I will just forget about you! You and Rosa should have nothing to do with me from now on! I will die a bachelor because I am frustrated at liars! You are a liar and I hate that about you!!!". He entered into his car and drove off.

I knelt down and sobbed heartily.

It hurt so much.

The thought of it that I had deceived a man who had loved me with his whole heart.

Nelson fumed at me. "Stop crying like that for another man in front of me!".

It was time to choose between two things...

Ambition or love...
