"Oh my god". I breath out.

"All along I thought that it was a guy who tried to kill us! I even thought it was Lenoy!" I look at Lenoy who's eyes are wide with astonishment. At this point Michael doesn't care.

His girlfriend questioningly looked at him terrified as if asking him (why would Michael say that?)

"You were the ones who hired Craigy Sinclair to kill Michael and Akeilia!" Leon yelled pointing at them. He stepped off but Monique held them back.

"What?" Were most people's response to their shock.

I can hear the sirens of police cars.

"I can't believe this". Eva glared at them.

Sara got to her feet with a look of confusion.

"What?" They both (Sara and Sandra) said in unison.

"Your pretending are over". Nicolas pointed through gritted teeth. He began to drag Sandra. Walked to Sara too, dragging bout of them towards the door.

"We didn't plan anything!" Sara yelled trying not to fall.

"Listen. We didn't..We didn't plan to kill them!" Sandra tried to defend.

Nicolas stopped with a drag that pulled them backwards, which almost made them fall.

"You put that f*ck*ng video up knowing there were children in here! A video that you shouldn't even have in the first place! You tried to ruin their relationship! Your ruined our Christmas and most of all you tried to kill my motherf*ck*ng grand babies! Get the f*ck out of my house!" Nicholas pushed them so hard they hit the door.

They cried out after hitting the door.

"Game over!" He yelled.

I closed my mouth after realizing that it was open. I don't think I ever heard Nicolas swore before.

I look at everyone's faces. They all looked as surprised as I was.

When I looked back at Nicolas he put his phone at his ear.

"Give him the phone...".

"Let them through". He said after a little while before he hung up.

I feel a broad hand slipped around my waist. I look up at my husband. Our eyes met. They look at me as if saying (Every thing is gonna be ok now). I nod.

The door opened.

This wasn't a shoot out. It's just an arrest. Why so many police? About eleven police walked in here after almost shoving Sara and Sandra down from push opening the door.

"Ladies you are under arrest..". The police started reading out their Miranda rights while handcuffing them. They kept crying and begging Nicolas not to let the police arrest them.

"Mr Perry please".

"Did either of you considered the consequences of your actions?"

"I agreed that what we did was wrong. Really wrong, but we don't have the guts to kill someone. Especially not Akeilia and Michael".

Nicolas look at them as if he'd chop their heads off.

"My grand babies are two lives! Two lives you would've also destroyed! Two lives that haven't even started yet. Yet you don't have the guts to kill someone. How ironic. Officers take them away".

"No!" Sara screamed.

"You're all idiots! Your still gonna die! Whoever tried to kill you are still out there!" The police took them away. The pleads and cries slowly fainted.

My head started to hurt. All this shouting and yelling. It's just too much.

I walked towards the couch. I sat, rest my forehead on my palms.

"Are you ok Akeilia?" I don't even have the strength to interpret the voices of the persons who asked. This just makes my head hurts more. People even started talking. Oh god.

I felt hands on my shoulders which I'm sure is trying to console me, but it only felt like even more burden.

I can't manage anything else tonight.

I stand.

"I'm just tired. I'm going upstairs". I walked off ignoring everyone. Right now I just wanna sleep.

"Akeilia". Leon and the rest of my friends call.

"Don't worry guys. She'll be ok". My husband knows me more than anybody.

I'm not gonna say I can't believe that Sara and Sandra were the ones who almost took my life, but seriously? For what? I don't get woman these days. They'll go the extra mile to kill a woman for a man who doesn't even know the love they have for him existed.

I went through so much pain in the past. I cried, I stressed, I suffered...I just can't cry anymore. Not now. I'm done being the cry baby I once were. I have to be strong for my kids.

At least now they'll rot in jail and I won't have to worry about them anymore.

Michael POV

If only dad hadn't stopped me, I would've strangled that bitch. But still, I know better. I couldn't kill her. I have a beautiful family to be there for.

I watched as my wife walked up the stairs. Right now she wants to be alone. I know this because she didn't give any gesture for me to follow her.

I sat on the couch. I bend forward, my elbows on my thighs, Fingers intertwined.

"Everyone to your rooms". My father ordered. I didn't look to see who left or stayed.

I want to stay happy with my wife. I want her to be happy without carrying the weight of worry on her shoulders. I want to stop feeling like this. Why do I have a feeling that this isn't over.

I just..

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I yelled in anger. The more I thought about tonight the more angry I got. I need to cool myself. I feel like I'm gonna explode.

"Michael!" Arms wrapped around me.

"Son relax". I look up at my father after I stopped yelling. I stand. His hands fell from me.

I clenched my teeth and tightly shut my palms.

"Don't worry I'm fine. Just..Give me some time alone". He nodded in understanding and so did mom.

When I turn around my friends were all looking at me. Before I could analyze their expressions I looked away.

I rushed up the stairs. I ran really fast down the stairs leading towards the pool, taking my clothes off one by one. Leaving just my underpants on. I dived into the swimming pool followed by a loud, huge splash. I swam for a long time and as fast as I could.

I need to blow off my anger. There's no other way. When I do go to my wife I need to be calm. I'm not gonna ruin this more for her than it already has.

Soon I burst through the surface of the water, breathing hard like crazy. Water falling down my body like a waterfall. That eventually subsided and so did my breathing.

I left the water. Retracing my steps, I didn't see my clothes. I didn't asked for my clothes to be picked up so why the f*ck bother!

Calm down Michael. Don't make a big deal out of small things.

Finally reaching my room I stopped. I didn't see anyone, which means everyone's asleep.

I opened the door.

I closed it and smiled at the one thing that makes me happy. My beautiful pregnant wife who's dfast asleep. Her back facing me.

I dried myself and changed into a dry boxer before slipping under the cover behind her. I put my hand over her resting it on her belly.

"Michael". She's not sleeping.

"Yes love". I replied and kissed her on the neck. I can't have her believing that I'm stressed about this. I'm supposed to be the stronger one. It's my job to make her feel comfortable and safe.

"Do you believe that what Sandra said was true? That whoever did this is still out there?"

"No. I didn't believe a word that came out of their filthy mouth. I'm sorry baby. I should've sent Sara away the moment we found out she was trying to break us apart. If I'd done that then...". I don't even want to utter it out of my mouth. If that had happened I would've eventually found out since Wendy knew, and I swear to god I would've killed them.

"Our babies are ok. I'm ok and your also here...". She turned to face me.

She put her soft hand on my cheek.

"It's over now Michael. I don't wanna talk about it. I just wanna live for the outcome of tomorrow. Not the past. I'm done living in the past. It only brings heartache and depression. Lets focus on our future. No what ifs ok?"

I don't think I've ever loved anyone so much in my life...And that's why I'm gonna make sure she's safe. Even if I die trying.

I stroke her hair backward, looking into her beautiful bright eyes.

"No what ifs. I promise".

"Hmmm". She agreed.

She cleared her throat.

"In the evening you wanted to talk to me about something?" What? Ohw.

"Yeah. Guess what?" I put my previous house on the market. I wanted to make memories of my family in our current home, so that everywhere I turn I see memories of my family.

"The house was sold". She turned her body more so that she'd be more comfortable.

"Really? Wow. When was this?" She asked with a chirpy voice.

"This morning. The person really loved it. Even gave more than what I demanded. Saying that it's worth more".

"I agree. It's a beautiful house. Did you keep the extra?"

"Well something like that. I gave it to my agent as a Christmas gift. He did a great job on finding the client".

"Good. Your so generous". She stroked my cheek.

"Well yeah. I don't really need more than what I demanded. But I couldn't give it away for free now would I?" She giggled. Music to my ears.

"Who bought it?"

"Babe that's off our chest now".

"Hmmm. Yeah. I guess it doesn't matter. Whatever they do with it is no longer our problem".

"Exactly".

"Money is never enough for you is it?" She asked with amazement on her face.

I smile.

"Nope". I brushed my thumb over her soft cheek.

"And I think I told you that once already...The only thing that's enough for me is you".

Her smile got wider.

She leaned over and peck me on the lips.

"I know". She look me in the eyes.

"Why is your hair slightly wet?" Oh boy.

"I ah. I went swimming". Here it comes.

"You were angry. Then you came in here all sweet as if everything's fine. I told you you don't need to do that anymore. I'm strong enough now to handle anything".

"Babe listen to me. I'm not gonna always come to you whenever I feel depressed. It's not like a man- well me to do that. You have to understand. Ok?" After a few seconds she smiled. That's a good sign.

"Sure".

"I think my babies are ready to sleep now. Aren't you?" I touched her belly. My smile dropped.

"What's wrong?" I removed my hand.

"They didn't kick". She playfully slapped me on the cheek before she laughed and so did I.

"You got me worried there for a second". I got on top of her, kissing and playing with her, trying to make the best out of what happened here tonight.

While making my smart, beautiful wife happy. All that was flowing through my thoughts was to give that motherf*ck*r Craigy a special visit tomorrow.

I'm sorry for any mistakes. Please feel free to point them out too.
