“Wow, very soon Kaila Morgan will turn out to be Mrs Perry, wife of the CEO of SIB” Kaila James said.
Kaila laugh at her act. Well she isn’t marrying him because she loves him, she’s marrying him because of her condition. Maybe with time she’ll learn to love him.
Kaila James phone rang and she checked the caller ID then groaned…
“Namesake, I’ll see you around. My boss needs me right now, see you around. Bye!” She said and walked away while waving at her.
“Bye bestie” Kaila replied with a smile.
She stood up and walked in the house. She met Mindy and her step mom they were smiling while discussing.
As soon as they noticed her presence, they stopped what they were discussing.
Kaila slowly walked to her room. She laid on her small bed as she stared at the ceiling.
She then looked at the bracelet on her wrist.
*I wonder what will happen if I remove it and slept off* She thought.
She removed it and placed it on a small table. She then closed her eyes and tried taking a nap…

Kaila saw herself in another place, the place was beautiful and it looked like it was heaven.
“Do you like it here angel” Someone spoke.
She turned to see who it was but no one was behind her. She looked round the surrounding and saw no one.
Suddenly the scene changed as she found herself in a dark place.
The lights shone on a man tied with chains, he had his head down with blood everywhere.
“Why, I trusted you. Why did you betray me like this” The man said with his head down. Pain could be heard in his voice…
Someone held her waist. She looked at who it was but couldn’t see the face, like his face was covered.
“Because she loves me. Isn’t that obvious, you fool.
You honestly thought she would love you” The man said and began laughing.
“Shoot him my love” The man said.
Kaila looked at her hand and saw a gvn in it. She raised the gvn on her own and aimed the gvn at the man tied in chains.
She tried to stop herself but it looked like her body was reacting differently.
She pulled the trigger….

Kaila quickly sat up on her bed while breathing heavily. She touched her cheek and felt a moist liquid on it, she was in tears.
She quickly took her bracelet and wore it…
“I’m never removing you, ever again” Kaila said and kssed her bracelet…
*Who could that man be?* She thought.
She shrugged the feeling away but it still remained there.
She stood up and walked out of her room to the kitchen in order in order to get lunch ready.

“That’s a really great plan mum, I can’t wait to be his wife. It’ll be so cool” Mindy said with a smile on her face.
“Yep, anything for my daughter” She replied with a smile.
A knock was heard on the door. Paulina stood up and went to open the door and smiled as she saw Jeremy my the door step.
“Is the drug ready?” She asked.
He handed her a sachet. She took it with a smirk on her face.
“Cool. Thanks” She replied and went to her purse, she took out some cash and gave him.
He nodded before walking walking out of the house.
“The drug is ready, the only thing remaining is to get rid of Kaila” She said.
“Mother, lunch is ready” Kaila interrupted them.
“Okay. Have you heard anything we spoke” Paulina asked her.
Kaila schedule a brow…
“No. Mother” She replied.
“Better” She said and stood up then walked to the kitchen, Mindy followed her.

( At the market )
“Fresh buns, who want some fresh and delicious buns” She said while walking all around.
After more than an hour, she was done with the selling. She carried back her basket home but her mind lingered to the dream she had.
“Who could that man be?” She thought while walking home.
“Boo!!!”Someone screamed from behind her which startled her.
“Jeez Liam, you almost gave me a heart attack” She said while holding her chest.
He crossed his hands on her shoulder as he escorted her home.
“So how have you been?” Liam asked.
“Well I don’t know” She replied.
Liam Winston is also a friend of hers. He works as a cook in a fancy restaurant.
“What do you mean you don’t know” He asked.
“Well I’m kind of getting married but I don’t know why I don’t feel it” She said.
“What you’re getting married?” Liam exclaimed and she nodded.
“Wow cool for ya” He said with a smile.
“What about you aren’t you supposed to be planning for your future, you’re 29 years remember.” Kaila said.
“Well I don’t think I’ll get married. Not when I have this gorgeous face and women flocking around me” He said and winked at some girls who were stealing glances at him.
“You’re such a player” Kaila said and they chuckled…
She reached home and bade him goodbye before entering her house.
It was kinda already getting dark so she went to make dinner.
After finishing dinner, she ate hers served for her family before walking up to her father’s room.
“Dad” She said and walked in.
He was sleeping when she entered but now he’s awake.
“Kaila, how was your day?” Evaristo asked.
“Well it was cool” She said and walked up to her father’s bed with the bowl of food in her hand.
She sat down and helped him up then handed him the food.
“So you’re getting married?” His father said while munching on his food.
Kaila nodded and sighed… Evaristo seemed to notice the discomfort in her. face.
“What’s wrong Kaila” Evaristo asked.
“Nothing dad just that I don’t feel this marriage” She said with a sigh.
He held her shoulder.
“If you don’t want to get married, don’t. I don’t want you to be living in a golden cage” He said.
“Alright, thanks dad” She said with a smile
They discussed till midnight before Kaila left for her room. She took a bath and then changed into a white gown.
She laid down on her bed and stared at the ceiling.
“William, he’s cute anyway” She said to no one in particular before closing her eyes as she drifted off to sleep.

A knock was heard on their door. Kaila turned in her sleep, the knock came again. She sat up on her bed and rubbed her eyes then yawned.
She stood up from bed and walked out of her room in order to attend to the person.
She opened the door and ached a brow as she saw someone tall with a mustache and he had an eye patch on one of his eyes.
“Good morning sir” She said.
“Morning” He replied and licked his lips.
She opened the door fully and he walked in the house then sat down on a chair.
Kaila walked up to her step mom’s room and then knocked.
“Who’s it?” Paulina asked.
“It’s me Kaila, sorry to disturb you but you have a visitor” Kaila said.
“I’ll be there in a jiffy” She replied.
