Narrator:

Cynthia sits beside James in the car and ponder her situation. Her mind goes back to how she met James. She had just finished her exams that fateful afternoon when a thief snatched her bag. She yelled for help and thats when she saw him for the first time. James saved her bag that day and she fell in love with him instantly. Now that she think about it, everything concerning that day they met could be staged

. For the many years that they have been dating, James only wanted two things from her: sex and information. She has been so blinded by her infatuation that she betrayed her friends. Kacy and his wife even died because of this. She was the one who got kacy involved in James plan and now his death is on her conscience. Now, James is going after her bestfriend’s life. She is the only one who can stop him and she is determined to. They arrived in Paris the previous morning and had booked a room at the same hotel as antonia and Steven. They have been following them since this morning. Cynthia knew what would happen if antonia marries Steven so she called her this morning, when James was in the bathroom. She was not able to say much before he came back out. Seeing as antonia was still with Steven, it shows that they didn’t take her warning seriously. Cynthia brings her phone out and secretly dial the police.

“so, you are going to kill her at the wall of love?”she asks James trying to alert the police of their whereabouts without his knowledge

. She disconnect the call, praying that the police understood her message then she turned on her phone recorder.

“so James how do you intend to get her land if you kill her?” Cynthia asks

“i won’t kill her until she Signs off her land to me.”

“do you think killing kacy and his pregnant wife was necessary?”

“yes!. The bitch was going to tell antonia about my plans so i killed her and kacy”James says and Cynthia press send.

Toni:

We kiss for what feels like hours. I am so overwhelmed with joy, i am shaking.

“i love you so much Steven”

“i know you do”he says then grin at me and i laugh.

“you look so beautiful when you laugh” Steven says then peck my lips and i sigh contentedly.

“i know. Am so beautiful, you cant resist me”

“wow, arrogant much?”

“its not arrogance. Its the obvious truth” i grin at Steven.

“okay, miss beautiful, are you ready to get married to me?”

“i thought you’ll never ask. Come on let go. Our wedding awaits”i grab steven’s hand and we walk to the car.

My phone pings in my hand and i see another text from the number that sent me a text earlier. I enter into the car then click on the message.

I warned you.

What are these messages about? Is this a prank? I look to Steven. He is currently grinning while driving. I need to tell him about this.

“Stev–“my voice is cut off when the car jerks forward and i almost fall off my seat.

“who the hell is that?”Steven says and we look behind. A car is currently bumper to bumper with us. Steven drives to the corner and give way for the car to pass but it moves with us to the right and we are bumper to bumper again. Steven motions with his hand for the car to pass but it just hit us again and this time is harder than the last and i scream. Steven steady the steering wheel then look at me with concerned eyes

“are you okay?” he asks and i nod.

“Steven, i think we are in danger. A number has been sending me warning message to not get married to you” i say and start crying.

“what?!. Why didn’t you tell about it?”

“i thought it was just a pr–“i am cut off again as the car is launched forward. This time the steering goes out of control. The car divert off the road and speeds towards a broken car at the side of the road. Steven step on the brake and thankfully, our car barely hits the broken car. As soon as the car stops, Steven jumps down and lets me out. I hear siren and i turn to see about three police cars chasing the car that hit us.

“are you okay?”steven asks and i nod.

“you are bleeding!” i scream and Steven touch his forehead and see blood.

“i’m okay. It doesn’t hurt much”Steven assures me.

An ambulance arrives and i motion for them to help Steven. Steven is taken to the back of the ambulance where a band-aid is applied to his wound. Thankfully, it isn’t a serious injury so no stitch was required. Some uniformed police men asks us for our statement. Steven is currently explaining our ordeal and i stand in front of him lost in thoughts of how we just escaped death. I feel steven’s eyes on me so i look up to him. His eyes are glued to my legs.

“baby, you are hurt” he says and walks to me.

“no, i am fine” i assure him.

“no, baby there’s blood on your legs. You must have hurt your thighs. Did you hit it on anything?” he asks

“no, i don’t feel any pain” i raise my gown upwards a bit to inspect the source of the blood but i see nothing. I keep raising my gown up and my heart stops as i realise the blood is coming from my crotch.

“the baby!”Steven and i yell at the same time. Steven scoops me up and carries me into the ambulance. The ambulance starts moving immediately i am put on the stretcher. Steven holds my hands through out our journey to the hospital. He keeps mumbling that our baby would be alright while crying. I don’t cry though, my tears just won’t fall. This is a disaster.

. I silently pray to the heavens that my baby be safe.

When we get to the hospital, i am quickly transferred to a room. Steven is with me holding my hands all the way. The doctor and nurses carry out various tests on me and we are asked to wait for the test results. Steven paces around the room with his phone in his ear. Who is he trying to call?. His pacing is making me dizzy though

“Steven calm down”

“i cant seem to calm down love, our baby–. No, i cant lose another family member”he says and continue pacing. I have to distract him from his worrying.

“i’m thirsty. Please go buy me some water.”Steven drops his phone with me and goes without arguing. A message comes in and i click it.

Weldone son, now that you have deceived this naive girl into marriage, I expect her land to be in my name in three days.

Oh no! I can’t believe I fell for another Kacy. Well never again
