Sophia was very discouraged. The words of doctor Kyle continued to echo very well in her ears.. doctor Kyle's words kept haunting her
"If we try to remove this pregnancy,,you might not survive it”
Sophia lied down quietly on the hospital bed and she turn her face away from doctor Kyle… Tears freely flowed down from her cheeks
“Sir please.. help me remove this..i believe that there's another way to do this safely.. please I'm begging you"
Doctor Kyle looked at her with pity, sighed and sat closer to her bed
“Young woman.. i really understand your situation but the fact is that right now it's just too risky..your body is really weak and abortion at this stage…isn't advisable at all” he said softly..
Many thoughts began to fill her head.. The innocent child growing inside her belong to Jake.. the same man who lied to her for many years
The same man who defiled their matrimonial bed.
She placed her hands on her belly and cried harder..
“Please there have to be a way to remove this.. i don't want anything that reminds me of my husband JAKE
Doctor Kyle was calm. and told her
"At this point, you need rest and a calm mind.. first take care of yourself and eat.. you'll be fine”
Sophia felt like slapping him instead she looked at the window towards the morning sun that was shining outside.. Luckily for her, later in the afternoon, she was discharged and was given medicine and advice
The nurse's advice her to try her best to avoid stress and eat healthy meals and drink plenty water.. She thanked the nurses and walked out of the hospital..
She was now alone
No family member, no husband, no friend… For several minutes she stood and kept looking at cars passing on the road, lost in her thoughts
“What should I do now"? Sophia whispered to herself.. “I need to find somewhere to stay" she said and flagged a taxi that was passing
“Please, can you take me somewhere in the city where i can rent a cheap room" she told the taxi driver
Yes, the driver nodded.. I know a quiet area with cheap rooms
About 12 minutes later, the taxi driver stopped in the front of an old two storey building.. The rooms was AFFORDABLE and built in a simple way
The landlord, MR BENSON welcome Her.
“So , Young woman you're to pay your rent every month.. This room isn't big but trust me it's clean and modest.. he explained
" Alright sir, I'll manage here..i just need somewhere to stay “
Then she paid for one month using some money she had saved
Mr Benson handed her The keys, and the room had a small bed , a tiny table,one chair and a narrow window.. Now she's really completely alone.
No one to comfort her
No one knew where she was staying
Now Sophia is carrying the baby of a man she cannot go back to.. How would she cope with pregnancy and, raising a child as a single heartbroken mother
Sophia cried out her eyes in that small room.
At the same time, JAKE arrived at his company Voss holdings. His secretary came to his office and handed him some very important files
“Good morning Sir" the secretary greeted him
Jake didn't respond to the greeting and was looking very exhausted
“How may I help you Woman! ?
“Ok sir, it's our Client: Sterling Commercial Properties LLC.. they're waiting for you.
" Okay why are they waiting for me” Jake asked.
" Sir, they need the Certificate of Incorporation / Articles of Incorporation documents and some other necessary documents before they can give us the contract
Jake froze immediately and his heart started to beat fast. Oh my gosh, Sophia took them. "Please leave..tell them I am coming to see them” Jake told the secretary and she left
When his secretary left, he opened his office safe and didn't see the documents
That's when it really dawned on him that it was among the documents Sophia took
Sweat slowly formed on his armpits and forehead.. And now, without those documents, The client will not give them the contract worth $2 million and Jake really needs that contract in order to
To expand his company by developing a massive luxury housing estate, Voss Holdings had borrowed $1.5 million from a bank six months ago. And as the ceo of Voss holdings he needs to pay back the money in few weeks time
Now he's really in a tight corner. Jake immediately called his lawyer Sanderson
“Hello Sanderson, please check whether they are any copies of the documents we need to get the contract..
“Sir, we don't need copies, our client need the original documents before giving us the contract" The lawyer answered calmly.
"When is the deadline?" Jake asked
"sir it's Three days.” the lawyer replied
Jake hung up and placed his two hands on his head
"Sophia has finished me.. Oh my God.. how can i resolve this”
Jake is really in trouble because if the deadline passed, his company would lose the contract and he really needs that contract in order to help him pay back that loan. he finally understood how serious the situation had become.
He sat alone in his office, angry and confused at the same time. He looked at Sophia's framed photograph, stood up and threw it on the floor with anger.
"Why will you do this to me Sophia? Why do you want to frustrate my life?" he whispered.
Jake left his office at 8pm he drove alone and was thinking too much
Late that night, after leaving the office, Jake drove home alone. When he arrived home, he sat quietly on his chair holding his phone tightly
At that exact moment, his phone vibrated.. he got A new message from an unknown strange number
Jake opened it immediately and The message contained only one cold sentence.
"Stop looking for Sophia... if you don't want to die”
