I informed Jamie last night to book me a ticket for any flight that was available since she worked in an airway company.

I'm planning on leaving a letter for Beth since she was on a trip, so she wouldn't be worried about me.

  Dear Beth,
First of all, I want to apologize for my sudden departure, I really need to leave this city if not Dave is going to make my life a living hell and I can't tolerate it anymore again.
  I will really miss you, your funny nickname, your delicacies, jokes and finally your snores "your snores is just so out of this world"
I will miss you, Beth! Don't even try to get hold of me because I'm destroying all my communication devices.

Harriet boo bear.

About 3 days ago, when I arrived in California I lodged into a motel since all the hotels around where really expensive and I was short of cash.

The payment of the motel was relatively cheap, I stayed there. It actually took a few days to relax and settle into my new home and surroundings.

The only thing missing now is a job not to forget I tried my best in securing an interview at the most famous business enterprise "Salvador King Enterprises".

I'm actually in the process of heading out, I am wrapping up the finishing touches on my face. I have never really been much of a makeup person since Dav__since I realised the name I wanted to say I just stopped.

I want to look my best after all, "Salvador King Enterprises" is one of the best enterprises so I can't just go there looking like a piece of garbage.

10minutes later, I am finally done with my overall look. I sprayed a little bit of perfume, grabbed my purse and folder which had my credentials in case they wanted to take a look at it, finally I approached the front door.

Shortly as I stepped outside, my cab had arrived on cue, he honks. I locked my front door and got into the car and I informed the cab driver where I was heading to.

Several minutes later, the cab driver halted at the company. At the front of the building were the words "S.K.E".I went into the building, I met the guard which was in the building and asked for the direction of the office.
  "Ma'am walk straight and turn to your left, you will come across the reception"

I followed his direction and came across the reception, I walked over to the receptionist who was fully focused on her phone typing and said: "Good morning, I have an interview here at 10 with Mr Ernest Salvador".

I waited for her reply but there was none, I took a good look at her, she is a pretty lady who may be in her early 20.

I gently tapped her table and spoke"Please I'm here for an interview can you please direct me to the boss's office"

Finally, she looked up from her phone and stared at me angrily and replied me;
"Uhm, yes and so what who even offered someone as old as you a job I'm sure you are either 35 or 40, you are actually even too old for this job,  useless woman she just ruined my mood with her presence
Just go straight and turn to your left you will come across his office".

After that was said she went back to staring at her phone. A few seconds of summer walking, I came across a door which had the words "Managing director".

I knocked and a voice from inside said: "Come in".I opened the door and stepped into the company, it was professionally decorated and it also had a modest feeling to it.

I looked up to take a look at the M.D and he was an old man who wouldn't be less than 55, I pray this interview goes well.

"Good morning"I politely greeted.
"Ooh my dear, take a seat" his eyes checking me out from head to toe dangerously.
"I was informed that there was a job vacancy for a business administrator and I know I'm fully qualified for this job," I said with full confidence while ignoring all the lustful glances thrown at me.

I took my seat on the black chair which was in front of me then I stretched my hand to pass him my credentials he collected it but he kept on caressing my hand. I instantly removed my hand since it was inappropriate.
"Harriet I'm ready to give you this job but on one condition, you will have to spend a night with me and if you want a higher position then...you will have to spend two nights with me," He said his voice clearly laced with lust.

Who does he think he his, all for a job I will now spread my legs wide to a man who is old enough to be my father.

"Mr Ernest I'm not interested in your condition, so you really expect me to spend a night with you all because of a job, do I look really cheap for you?"I asked harshly.

Mr Edward stood up from his chair and walked to where I was seated, he kept his hands on my shoulder and said"Harriet don't be stubborn, just one night and nothing more"

I slapped his hands off my shoulders and replied"Do you actually know what that one night will cause me, first of all, my self respect...how do expect me to sleep with someone as old as you, secondly my pride...do I really look like some that is ready to get something just by having sex and lastly my shame...it is pointless talking to you about shame because you lack one"I hissed at the disgusting man in front of me.
I picked my credentials from the table and walked out of the building.

Several days of searching for a vacancy for any type of work that could earn me a little money but to no avail, my two weeks rent at the motel is almost up, I don't even know how I'm going to sort my rent.

I'm actually wondering about the street looking for a vacancy. I was admiring the night lights of the shops when I saw a car driving fast towards me and the car hadn't stopped before I could run the car jerked abruptly and hit me, my vision suddenly got clouded with darkness.

Beep beep...
The continuously beeping gave me a headache and the scent of the room was also not  helping.

Taking my time to restore my energy carefully, I opened my eyes but due to the bright light of the bulb, I closed it back.

I opened my eyes again, once I was comfortable I took my time to take a look at where I was.

The walls of the room were painted blue and white. The bedsheets were blue the same colour as the cloth I was putting on.

I was admiring the room when the door opened and 3 figures came in, two male and a female. One of the males was dressed professionally and I could tell he was the doctor, noticing from the stethoscope and the white lab coat.

"How are you doing ma'am and please can you tell me your name?" He asks politely.
"I'm doing good just having a mild headache, my name is Harriet but please how did I get here, "I asked while trying to sit down straight on the hospital bed.
"Miss Harriet you were hit by the car of Mr and Mrs Smith" He replied and pointed to the figures beside him.

"We are really sorry about hitting you Harriet our car had a brake failure so we couldn't stop but I thank God you were not seriously injured"Mrs Smith spoke gently her voice showing remorse for what had happened.

"You don't need to apologize, ma'am, I'm perfectly alright," I said while trying to ease the  guilt in her eyes.

"Miss you should learn to take care of yourself, stress is not acceptable in your condition" I nodded my head at the doctor's orders totally ignoring the words- stress and condition.
"Don't worry Doctor I will certainly take care of the injury properly?"I told him.
"Miss I was not actually referring to the injury I said you should take good care of yourself or else you will lose the baby"
"The what?"I asked him, I don't think he said the word baby right?
"Ma"am congratulations you are 2 and a half months pregnant"
"Doctor it can't be how can I be pregnant, you are wrong, I have been told I can never be a mother by several doctors and people" I yelled at him, trying to assure myself that I am not pregnant.
"Ma'am you need to relax you are really pregnant but please take care of yourself ".

After that was said, the doctor left the room with Mr Smith while Mrs Smith stayed behind.
"Harriet you are really pregnant, the doctor showed us your report"Mrs Smith said softly.
"Ma'am you don't know what I faced all because I couldn't bear a child but why is it that it is now I am pregnant when I  really needed to be a mother why could I?"I yelled while tears were spilling uncontrollably from my eyes.
"Harriet dear, life is based on time, you just need to be patient in any situation or condition you find yourself in, "Mrs Smith said while patting my head softly.
"Harriet where are your family, wouldn't they be worried about you? and your husband"
"Mrs Smi__"I was interrupted by her.
"You can call me Diana dear," She said.
"Diana I have no family, I left home since nobody wanted to be associated with a barren woman, my husband...he has married my step sister and even got her pregnant behind my back, really who does that?"I said while sniffing and cleaning the tears from my cheeks and eyes.
"Harriet you could live with my husband and me in our house"Diana suggested to me.
