I pulled by the road side as suddenly remembered I still have to meet up with some people.
Apologetically,I turned to look at Jessica.
“I’m sorry. I won’t be going with you.” I said and she sighed.
“Okay. Guess I’m gonna trek down there. It’s no longer far.”
” Sure. Take care ” I watched her come down from the car and reversed back then zoomed off.
I got to a nice looking house and walked in few minutes latter.
Three men gathering round a table and I walked over to them.
“You are late.” One of them accused.
“I’m sorry. Listen to guys. I hired you for a very important business and I don’t want failure. Not a bit.” I said matter of fact.
Their boss,Rick laughed. “You probably didn’t hear about us before coming here.” He said lighting on a smock.
” I did heard about you but that’s not the point. The point here is that I need a clean job.”
” And a clean job you shall get.” They all answered and I nodded.
” All you have to do is give us his picture and we are gonna deal with him.” Rick said and j smiled.
” I’m prepared for this.” I said, bringing out a painted photo.
” Oh…his quite popular men! I know this motherfker! This is not gonna be easy. He’s got lots of bodyguards.”One of the boys said and I frowned.
” You don’t have to worry. He’s a dead meat.” The boss replied and I nodded curtly.
After paying them half of the money we agreed on, I left the house.
I hopped back into my car and zoomed off with a huge smile, playing on my face.
I can’t wait to destroy Marianne’s happiness with him.
She’s supposed to be happy with me, not with anyone else.
?Theresa ?
I went through my sister’s stuff with a wicked smile on my face.
Finally,I’ve gotten a plan to outsmart her.
Yes.
The simplest thing I would do is impersonating her.
I’m gonna get him to sleep with me.
And when I succeed,Robert will be mine.
And mine alone.

Three weeks later…??
? Marianne ?
I felt feverish that evening after going out with Taylor.
I knew something was wrong with me but I tried my best and pulled through the day.
Immediately I got home around six in the evening,this urge to throw up came and I quickly ran to the restroom.
“Oh no…” I winced as I rinsed my mouth and returned into the bedroom.
I changed into something else and picked up my phone, dialling Davey’s number but it wasn’t going through.
And I was fast becoming sick.
I dialled Taylor’s like instead.
“Think I need to visit the doctor. It keeps getting worst.” I mumbled.
” Told you so. Should I come along with you?” Taylor asked from the other line.
” Oh no… nevermind. Wait a minute!” I exclaimed remembering something.
” I don’t really need a doctor. I will go over to Mrs Cooper’s house. Davey’s sisters are nurses.” I said.
” That’s great. Hurry up before it’s night.” Taylor said and we said our goodbyes.
I tucked my mobile phone into my jeans pocket,took an umbrella and left the house.
I walked down the street and finally got a cab that transported me to the house in no time.
By the time I got to the main entrance,I felt like collapsing.
I wanted to throw up and it was becoming uncontrollable.
“Marianne!” Mrs Cooper exclaimed as soon as she saw the maid bringing me in.
I couldn’t answer as I collapsed on the sofa.
“The twins….. I need them to examine me…” My voice trailed off and everything went blank as I passed out.

I opened my eyes blearily and stared around.
I was now on a bed in a beautiful room.
The door opened and one of the twins came in
It was so hard to tell them apart.
She smiled, coming towards me. “Oh, Marianne!! I’m so excited you are finally awake.”she said and I sighed, sitting up.
It was completely dark outside.
“How long did I sleep?”
“Three hours or so.” She replied. “And in case you are getting confused, I’m Jessica. You should learn to tell us apart.” She said with a smile.
” Davey must be so worried about me. Did you guys contact him? ” I asked, searching around for my phone.
” His number isn’t going through at all. Mom tried his line through out when you were sleeping. ” Jessica replied and I gasped.
” What do you mean by that?” I was alarmed.
“Take it easy. It might be the network.” She said touching my shoulder.
I shook my head. ” No. Davey would have come here if it was network.” I said restlessly.
Jessica rolled her eyes. ” Cool down and here this great news of the year.” She whispered and I look at her.
” What? ”
” You are three weeks gone! There weeks gone, Marianne. You are gonna be having a baby!! ” Jessica screamed and j gasped again, touching my flat tummy immediately.
“I’m… I’m…. Carrying his baby!
I’m carrying Davey’s baby?? ” I asked with an unsteady Voice.
I was confused. Should I be happy or sad? Am I ready to have this baby?
I was still having this mixed feelings when the unexpected news came.
