In this uncomfortable car ride to the hospital, Soraya and Sasha continued to throw biting remarks at each other while Reina remained quiet, wishing they could get to the hospital as soon as possible. She was still dazed at the thought of having a little life growing inside her belly. Her hand gently caressed her belly as happiness filled her chest. This was the fruit of her and Harry's love. Their child.
She was jolted out of her daze when the car suddenly takes a sharp U-turn and accelerate on the speed. Disturbed, Soraya scolded the driver, "Hey, watch the way you're driving. What is wrong with you?. You can't afford to cause an accident okay". "I'm sorry Miss but I think someone is following us" the driver said, looking worried.
"What?!"
The ladies exclaimed at the same time. "What do you mean by that?". They turned back to find a black van really tailing their car. Fear instantly engulfed them. "Mr driver, quickly lose them. Please they're catching up fast" Reina urged. At the same time, the people in the van took out guns and started firing at their.
Bang. bang. bang
The series of gunshots terrified them as the three women quickly take cover, bending their heads and hiding in their seats. Reina felt terrified as Soraya hugged her tightly to hide her away.The driver was trying his best to evade the attack. In a matter of seconds, their situation has become extremely dire. They were under a life threatening attack from unknown enemies.
At the Lake house, a happy looking Nina was walking when she bumped into a hard brick of wall. She hissed in pain as she back away, rubbing her throbbing forehead. She looked up with red eyes filled with grievance and anger to find Axel standing there in front of her. She hadn't run into a hard rock but his sturdy chest.
"Are you blind?. Can't you see where you are going. Look how you've hurt me?" She spat angrily, pointing at her bruised forehead. Axel ignored her anger and replied, "If you were looking ahead instead of daydreaming, you wouldn't have bumped into me. You should apologize to me I stead".
"Apologize? You hurt me and you want me to apologize? You're crazy". Nina yelled.
"Okay then move let me pass through. We're even now" Axel said. He moved to bypass the angry Nina but the latter stretch out her arms blocking his path.
"I've told you so many times that you can't be entering the villa like it's your own. No outside male other than family is allowed to enter this place. My master will have you fired for sure when he returns." Nina said haughtily. However, Axel was having none of her childish antics and with intimidating steps, he continued to walk forward and towards her.
Frightened by his domineering aura, Nina staggers backward, retreating her steps while he walks towards her. She eventually stepped aside for him to pass and Axel walked away with a subtle smirk. Nina stared at his departing part and pouted her cherry red lips. He's too frightening when he's quiet.
Just like her Master. Nina bite her lips and shouted with a trembling voice," You can't go to see my Miss today. She's not at home right now." Axel ignored her words so she started to chase after him."I said my Miss is not here right now. She has gone to the hospital for check-up".
This words finally got Axel to stop dead in his track. He turned around and asked,"Hospital? Is Reina sick? Why didn't l know about it? She was perfectly fine when I spoke to her yesterday". His frantic questions and worried look caught Nina by surprise. So this iceberg brother actually have a different expression other than carrying a cold face all day long.
Nina rolled her eyes and said "Chill Mr Man. l never said my Miss was sick. I just said she went to the hospital for check-up". Axel furrowed his eyebrows clearly agitated. "If she's not sick then why will she be at the hospital?". "Oh you haven't head the good news?" Nina smiled happily and disclosed."Actually Miss is pregnant. She's pregnant with the heir's child". It took a while for the words to sink in.
Axel's eyes widen and he staggers back in shock as his heart dropped. His expression hardened and with clenched jaws, he grabbed Nina tightly by the arm and pushed against the wall, pinning her to it.
"What did you say? Say it again?." His ferocious eyes stared intensely at her, scaring her further. She winced in pain and struggle to break free.
"Ouch!. Let go of me. Please you're hurting me"She cried pitifully. Axel finally released his grip on her arm. Nina quickly moved away from him holding a now bruised arms that has his five fingerprints on it. She looked at him with hurt and teary eyes and cried.
"You're such a bully. Miss is truly pregnant and there's nothing you can do about it". Saying this, she rubbed away in tears. Axel angrily punched the wall hard causing his knuckles to tear and bleed.
"No. This can't be happening".
Meanwhile on the road, things are not looking optimistic for Reina and her group as the gun men were hot on their tail, firing shots at them from a close range. The glass windows has been shattered and the driver shot and bleeding from the left shoulder.
He had managed to call for backup and is only praying to hold on long enough for help to get to them. Fortunately, the three women hiding down in the back seat haven't been harmed but they're still in a bad shape.
"I hope you have nothing to do with this"Soraya said to Sasha, glaring at her.
"Are you crazy?. Why will you think I'll have something to do with this. Do you think l don't cherish my life enough to plot my own assassination?" Sasha angrily retorted.
Soraya sneered, not believing in her words one bit. Recalling how she was vehemently opposing her tagging along with them to the hospital, Soraya believes she's not so innocent. "When it comes to someone like you l wouldn't let anything pass you. A self injury ruse like this is nothing much for you." Soraya bite back.
Furious, Sasha wanted to reply but an annoyed Reina shouted."Can you two please stop this? Can't you see that our lives are in danger now yet you two still have time to fight each other". Just then the driver lost control and with fearless and helpless screams, the car crashed, Knocking everyone unconscious.
