Akeilia POV

This morning after Michael and I showered, we went downstairs for breakfast. Everyone expected us to be gloomy, but it was the exact opposite. We were happy.

We weren't gonna mourn over the fact that our babies could've died. I still have them inside of me and that is enough for us to be completely happy.

The camera that Sara installed was removed. Debra left the mansion. Wendy....I hadn't spoke with her.

Michael had left. He said he was going to the office. I completely understand. He's still working on that billion dollars project.

I however really needed to check on my company. I checked the finance and something was slightly off. I didn't think that's something to stay quiet about. I've worked my ass off too hard for anyone to ruin it.

I told Eva and everyone else goodbyes before I head out. I told them that I told Michael that I was to leave to see for myself how my company is doing. If I hadn't they wouldn't have let me out. But I know I'll be safe. There are tons of bodyguards protecting me. For all they care (Nicolas and Eva) my company can fall to the ground because they have enough money and power to bring it back up or start another but that's not me. I don't have time to waste like that. I've worked too hard for it to be in this position right now. I'm sure they know that too.

Michael doesn't like me going out alone. Even though the bodyguards would be there, he just feels more comfortable when he or Leon is with me.

I refused Leon's offer to accompany me because I believe he and Monique probably got things to talk about. Something is slightly off with them. But it doesn't even seem as if both of them noticed. Earlier I saw where Monique was in her own world and so was Leon. But you know me, always over thinking things.

Monique and I hadn't got the chance to talk much lately. Because Michael and I had spent most of the time together and she also has Daniel to nurture. I too soon have two to give most of my attention to. I've seen how stressed out Monique is sometimes. She had to be getting up in the middle of nights attending to crying Daniel while Leon sleeps because he's tired from work. He too is working on a project but I'm not sure what it's about. I'm already mentally preparing myself for my two arrivals.

I believe something is going on with them, but I'm not sure. As I said earlier, I'm always over thinking things so... But I though, do not wanna get caught up in the middle of it. Everyone has their own problems to deal with right now. If Monique wanted me involved she would've at least said something about it. I won't be upset with her. I know that it's not everything she's gonna tell me.... Not everything I've told her.

I shook my head. Let go of the past Akeilia.

"Could you please explain this to me?" I rhetorically asked, pointing at the computer screen, leaning back on my chair with my fingers intertwined on top of my belly.

I don't wanna accuse her. It's been a while since I've been here. So I may have missed out on something.

"I'm..sorry ma'am. I emailed you some information few days ago. I tried calling but your cell phone was off. I thought you knew. I'm sorry". She emailed me? Let me check.

I turned to my computer. Checked my email.

"Ohw". New project ok.

I turned back around.

"Great. Is everything doing great?" I raised an eyebrow. She nodded after a smile. Jennifer is really slim. She got boobs that's bigger than mine. They fit her perfectly. A pretty face and she also knows how to dress. I feel a bit jealous. A may lose my perfect body after my delivery... But, thanks to beauty products I have nothing to worry about.

"Everything's going good". I frown.

"Good?" What's that supposed to mean?

"It's gonna take a lot of time and pretty hard work to get this done in such a short period of time". Did she think this was gonna be easy?

"How long are we talking about?" I asked.

"Two weeks ma'am". I exhaled through my nostrils.

"No struggle. No progress Ms Jennifer. That's how life is. Most things aren't easy to achieve. It takes dedication and hard work to be successful". I smile at her.

She nodded with a smile.

"Of all persons ma'am, you'd know. Don't worry ma'am, I won't let you down". I nod before I stand. Wait, what did she meant by 'of all persons'. Forget it Akeilia. She probably understand how hard I've worked.

"Well.. now that I know everything's ok I'll be leaving".

Her smile dropped. I frown.

Is she looking at me? Why does she look so.. lost? She's not even blinking.

"Ms Jennifer". She still didn't blink. A terrified expression appeared on her face.

"Ms Jennifer?" She blinked a few times. Her attention back on me.

"Ma'am I'd like to say something to you". Curiosity got my attention.

"Sure".

"How do I say this...I um.. I know about your past. I also know that you were almost killed". What? Why is she saying this to me?

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Don't be upset ma'am".

"I'm not upset Ms Jennifer. I just want to know where your going with this. Do you know who hired them to kill us?"

"No but.. is your husband coming to get you?" What the... Is she asking to be fired?

"Ms Jennifer. If you have something to say please just say it". Now I'm getting damn upset. Is she mocking me or something?

"Please sit". I hesitated. I'm not sure of how to think of this situation... Let me see what she has to say.

I sat.

She took a chair and sat.

"I know that right now your probably thinking of me as inquisitive, but... sometimes I see people's past even... even when I don't want to". Oh please. Everyone knows my past. It was over the news and people talk. It's possible she'd heard it.

"You think I should believe you?"

"Listen ma'am I'm not trying to deceive you. I have nothing to gain. Sometimes I see people's past. There are people who can actually do that. And I'm one of them. Some people would say that it's a blessing, but to me.. Sometimes I don't like it". I've heard about people like that, but I don't believe it.

Ok.

"If I ask you something that only I know, would you be able to answer?"

"I can say, only what I saw. It doesn't work like that". I laughed, but it was humorless.

"Yeah it always doesn't. Seriously, what are you trying to say here Ms Jennifer, because I'm lost. And what does my husband have to do with anything".

"I believe god allowed you to accept me for a reason". This is getting irritating.

"I accepted you because I want to see what you've got. Not because the Lord told me to". I shook my head. I don't want another Sara around me I swear. I'll commit murder.

"Are you a Christian Ms Jennifer?" She shook her head.

"No I'm not, but I believe in god. Ma'am the future is unpredictable, as people would say...When you told me you were leaving just now I...". Huh?

"What tell me". Suddenly I feel interested. Even though I don't believe.

"I saw you crying somewhere. I..I'm not sure where". My shoulders dropped.

I sigh.

"Crying has been apart of my life the day I was born. As you probably already know". She shook her head. She sandwich my hand that's closer to her with both of hers. I kept looking at her.

"I don't know what else to say to you. It wasn't clear. But you were hurt. Please be careful I beg you. And please believe me. I don't wanna scare you. I just want you to be careful".

"Why?" I've seen in movies where persons were in this same position. Realizing it now, at first they didn't believe, just like me, but in the end..It happened. So I'm going to listen.

"Because not everyone are out to get you". My eyes widen a bit. I removed my hand from hers.

"Wendy means well for you. Your a bit upset with her because she didn't tell you about.. something, but she means well. Don't be upset with her because she's already upset with herself. She's already going through so much".

"Do you know Wendy?"

"Just her name and a little of how she feels".

"You don't know what Wendy didn't tell me?"

She smiled.

"Not everything I'm allowed to see. Sometimes I'm glad. I get too emotional. It's devastating".

I look at my belly then back at her.

"Sara is the daughter of some family friends. Her aunt's name is Sandra. She was a maid at the mansion. She wanted her precious Sara to have the man of her dreams. My husband. So she put abortion pill in my drink. If it wasn't for Wendy...my babies would be dead".

"They aren't, thank God". She smiled. She know I don't like to be pity.

"We also found out that they were the ones who hired Craigy Sinclair and some others to kill us. At that time I was pregnant and didn't know it".

She shook her head.

"Well enough of that. Instead of taking business as a career why didn't you be a futune-teller or something". I giggled.

"Nahh. I wanna live like a normal person". Her smile disappeared. I frown.

"What's wrong?"

"The hardest part about my so-called gift is the fact that I can't save everyone. Why allow me to see it if I can't stop it?"

I don't even know why I believe her. But I do. Things like this does happen. We just believe it doesn't because we don't know how it happened.

"When I was a little girl I always vision things. Other children getting abused by their parent or foster parents. People dying. But I've never really seen it happened with my own two eyes. I told my parents about it. I'm not sure if they believed but they were always there when I screamed at nights. They were helpful. I've always seen things but I never saw any of it really happened. When I was 19, I visioned this old woman. She looked at me before I saw her falling down a cliff. I shook my head thinking that I was maybe tired like I did with all the others after I've learnt to co-op with it. I just know that I'd seen things but that was it. I was at this hotel and I was sitting on a chair sipping juice from a straw and reading one of my favorite novels. (The hotel was called Clifton hotel. There's a reason why they name it that). A few minutes later I saw this old woman rushing up the stairs at the top of the hill outside of the building where I was sitting. I wasn't the only one there. It was like a chill spot for those who'd want some nice fresh air. Even a bar was there. Some people was running after her yelling. I couldn't hear exactly what. When she reached the top of the stairs she looked at me. Suddenly I remembered my vision. My heartbeat escalates and I froze. It's like my senses shut down. I was stuck and it's like I didn't know what to do. I watched the lady ran to the edge of the cliff...". Oh no. She looked down and shook her head. She looked back at me with teary eyes. I tried to blink away mine.

"After she jumped it's like at that time my brain sent the message to my body that I should move. That was actually the first time I saw one of my visions happened in reality. I ran to the edge of the cliff. I saw the old lady falling. Just as I saw it in my vision. At that moment I thought to myself, I could've stopped her, but it was too late. I didn't know what happened to me, but like you at first I couldn't believe that what I saw was actually happening. People started gathering. Some crying Grandma. I just didn't know what to do. Later when I thought about it, I realized that at that moment when she looked at me. That was when I should've stopped her. Then I remembered when I was little. Everything I saw was what really happened. People dying, children sexually assaulted and a lot more. Oh my god". She covered her mouth. That lost look appeared in her eyes again.

"Even you... I saw you. I saw you when I was a little girl and I saw you again when I was 23. Oh my god I saw you. I remembered. John McFarlane was his name. I didn't know where to find you. That means...". The past will never disappear would it. Just stay strong Akeilia.

"You couldn't stopped what happened to me. He was the devil himself".

"It was meant to happen...Which means I'm here for a reason". She said as if she didn't just heard what I'd said. She looks terrified.

I swallowed feeling a bit nervous.

I look at my purse. My ringtone prolonging. I took it from my bag.

"Excuse me". I told her. She stand.

"Hello Mrs Perry". A hasty voice of a guy said.

"Who is this?"

"The vehicle Michael was driving in got hit by truck". My heart rate increased.

"W-what? How? Who is this?"

"I'm one of his bodyguard. Just calling to let you know that he was rushed into the emergency room. We're not certain of his condition at this moment. It would be great if you go to the hospital".

"Ok ok. I'll be right there". I quickly put my phone back in my bag and got up.

"What's wrong ma'am?"

"I've got to go". I took up my bag.

"Ma'am". I walked off rushing towards the door.

"Ma'am wait!"

Please forgive my mistakes if any.
