Chapter 42
*THE END*
“I am sorry for all I caused you”, he said to Vanessa.
“It is really fine. It was not your fault you got nabbed by her”, Vanessa said to him.
Vivian did not open up to her yet. She was still very scared of how Vanessa might respond and react.
Vanessa ended up paying with bitcoins – a digital crypto currency. Danica made her pay fifty five thousand dollars more, but Vanessa did not mind. The only hurtful thing here is that Roberts actually planned it with Danica.
“How is she?”, Roberts asked.
Vanessa was carrying a female child, she was already thirty two weeks pregnant.
“She is fine”, Vanessa answered as Roberts gave her a kiss on her forehead.
*****
Later that day,
It was half past three o’clock in the afternoon. Vanessa was sitting and looking scared.
“Hey, what’s wrong?”, Roberts asked Vanessa placing his hands on her shoulders.
“I am scared”, she answered in a mellow tone.
“Why?”, he asked sounding worried.
“She-, she lost her child. What if I lose mine too?”, Vanessa asked crying.
“You will be fine. I promise you”, he answered her.
Selma gave birth but the child couldn’t make it. It was pure sorrow for the worried father. Selma couldn’t help but cry all day and night. Vanessa was scared. She wouldn’t want the same happen to her. She took her antenatal checkup seriously and never missed any.
Selma and Trey were moving back to the United States by the following week.
*****
“Hey, wait for me”, Roberts said to Vanessa.
They went to shopping for baby clothes and other items. Vanessa was thirty four weeks and some days pregnant.
“Do you really know what happened to Vivian?”, Roberts asked.
“Yes, she was involved in a plane crash”, Vanessa answered.
“Fuck, how did you know her name was Vivian?”, She asked.
“Trey told me”, Roberts lied.
“Okay. She was a nurse, so she had a private patient at Italy. She goes for his checkup at spring every year.” Vanessa answered.
“Then the last time she went was her last journey, she died in a plane crash according to report”, Vanessa added.
“Did you guys get to see the lifeless body?”, Roberts asked.
“No, they said the body got burnt.” Vanessa answered.
*********
Vanessa and Roberts went to eat at a restaurant. They shared what felt like a blissful moment. They also saw a movie together. It was actually Roberts’ last day on earth.
Buffon’s men had surrounded the restaurant by that time. They were ready to carry out their operation. As soon as Vanessa and Roberts got out front the restaurant, it was the end. A man in masks ran towards them and shot Roberts dead. Two bullets to his chest and One to his head.
Vanessa screamed in pain, a bullet hit her right on her thigh. She was bleeding profusely. It was also the time of birth.
People from the restaurant had already called 911 for her rescue. In just three minutes, an ambulance had already arrived. Vanessa was almost already giving birth to her child.
The nurses had carried into the Van. The child was ready to come out.
One of the nurses was crying, she was also the nurse to take the delivery. It was Vivian, her mother.
In about ten to twelve minutes later, Vanessa was already a mother. She gave birth to a girl child.
********
Two months later,
Jennie was already growing so fast, but her mother was not doing well mentally, physically and emotionally. Selma and Trey were the only ones with her and looking after her.
Although, there was a nurse but it was not the woman who took her delivery.
*****
There was a knock on the door, Selma stood up to get it.
The stranger to Selma saw her children, Vanessa and Trey then bursted into tears.
Trey was the first to talk, his eyes were filled with tears, she was the one responsible for all their problems till date.
“How-, how are you alive? How did get to know this place?” He asked.
“I am sorry” She said.
Selma had already grabbed the child from Vanessa. The woman who could not say anything word but only fill the room with tears from her eyes.
******
Two years later,
The whole family – Trey, Vanessa, Jennie, Selma and even Vivian had moved out of Florida to Atlanta, USA. They were living new lives. It was all fun till sorrow struck again. Selma lost another child but that was not the end. She took her own life. She was battling with depression and sadness because she couldn’t give birth to a baby. This made her husband even more depressed, he had just lost his newly built family.
Vanessa and her mum lived together in a different house from Trey and Selma.
Jennie was a bright kid, also pretty like her mother. Although, she had some traits of her father, Andre. She was stubborn and kind of bossy even at a young age.
*********
Years later,
Trey was a father of three. He got married but she was not new to him or Vanessa. They were neighbors at their first house back in Florida. They last saw each other when they were six. Clara’s family moved down to Atlanta since then. She got married to Trey. They had two female kids – Juilan and Juliet and one male child – Justin.
Vivian was not alive anymore. She passed on a year after Justin was born.
Jennie was already in college. Her mother was living her best life. Vanessa said she was done with men drama and she just wanted the best life for herself and her daughter. Jennie would quickly become the dream girl of every guy at school. It was so hard for her to pick one, so she stayed out of relationships till Alaric came around. He was the best looking guy in school. He was one of the smartest too. Jennie’s real crush.
“Hey”, Alaric said to Jennie.
“Hi”, she answered shyly.
“Can we hangout tonight?”, he asked.
“Yes sure, I will be available tonight by seven”, she answered.
“That’s great, I will pick you up”, he said as he waved bye to her.
“See you soon”, she said shooting him a deep smile as she walked to her apartment.
*****
Later that night by half past six, her mother called.
“Mom, can I ask you something?”, Jennie said.
“Yes sure you can”, Vanessa answered being anxious.
“I saw some letters in Alaric’s bag last week, it read the letters- B M N L, do you know it means?”, she asked her mom.
“What?! What is his surname?”, Vanessa asked.
“Federico”, she answered.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“It means BE MY NAKED LOVE. Please, I know this is hard but do not go on that date tonight”, Vanessa said.
“Why mom?”, she asked.
“Mom!, Mom!!”
Vanessa stopped speaking. A man just shot her dead. It was Micah Federico, Andre’s father.
