Later that night, Rosetta was curled on the bed, she had herself wrapped in a quilt. The thunder clapped and she couldn’t help but to tremble. No one needed to tell her that It’d be raining soon.
Earlier that evening, after they had had a hot round of sêx in the bathroom with Romeo taking her from every angle, Rosetta as usual slept off while Romeo went over to Marcus’s.
“Romeo…” Her voice came out fearfully as the thunder clapped for the second time. She was wrapped in a quilt, but that didn’t stop the cold penetrating into her body.
Creak. The door of the bedroom Suddenly flung open. Then, Rosetta heard the sound of leather shoes against the tiled floor.
The familiar cologne filled the whole room, invading Rosetta’s nostril. A relieved smile escaped her lips. Her husband was in the room.
The next thing Rosetta felt was a pair of huge masculine hands, pulling her to a broad chest, holding her captive.
“It’s okay, Vita mia {My life}. I’m here for you,” Romeo’s deep alluring voice whispered into her ears.
Rosetta parted her lips, about to say a word when the sound of the rain falling filled the whole room.
Instantly, she began to tremble. Even though she was protectively wrapped around her husband, she was scared. The usual tricks weren’t working anymore.
“Rose?” Romeo’s voice sounded distant as Rosetta’s body jerked in his arms. Her loud screams filled the whole room, her tears falling like a river.
“Mom!… Mom!” Rosetta cried as she thrashed in his arms. She was crying heavily as though she was having a nightmare.
The blurry visions she had been experiencing for years, started to clear. Just like now, it was raining in the vision.
She saw herself with a man and a woman, one whom she presumed to be couples. They were smiling happily, just like a happy family.
In the next vision, they were in a pool of blood, with the man’s head splashed into two. The scene was horrific and a high pitched scream left Rosetta’s lips.
“Rose!!!” Romeo shook her body violently and her eyes cleared instantly. Slowly, her red eyes stared into his and he smiled down softly at her.
“It’s okay, you’re safe” he whispered the words which sooth her raging soul down.
“Romeo… It’s so scary, he..” Romeo pulled her to his chest, stopping her from making any further sentences.
“Don’t say a word” he murmured gently. Rosetta whimpered in his hold, clutching the hem of his shirt tight.
“Don’t leave me, stay with me please” her voice came out weakly.
“I love you,” was the words Romeo uttered instead. His hand never left her body till she fell asleep in his arms.
Gently, his hand tucked a tendril behind her ear and placed a kiss on her hair.
“I’ll find the truth behind your nightmares, Rose. You won’t have to suffer anymore” he murmured into her ears.

Valeria sat in front of the huge dressing mirror, preparing herself to go to bed. She was discharged from the hospital for a short while now and her body was perfectly fine.
Her hand caught with the ring on her fingers and she smiled widely. She’d have got married to Marcus from the two weeks that went by but they couldn’t do that now.
Their enemies were still lurking around them, obviously looking for a way to eliminate them. Preparing a wedding might be the perfect moment for the enemies to strike, so they were avoiding it for now. Besides, they can’t possibly go on a honeymoon for now.
The rattling of the door brought her mind back to reality. Marcus walked to her in just his boxers, his shirt was dripping wet as he had just finished coming out of the shower.
“Not done yet?” He asked, holding the arm of the chair she sat on.
“I am” Valeria stood up and walked to the bed. He strutted behind her.
“Don’t you think Rose is acting weird these days?” Valeria asked after they had both settled in bed.
“How?” Marcus placed his chest on her chest, feeling the softness of her bôobs.
“I visited yesterday and she was totally different from the Rose I know. This… I think she’s pregnant” Valeria said as though she was sure of what she was saying.
“Really?” Marcus raised his head to stare at her. Valeria nodded and immediately smiled
“It has always been my wish for her to get pregnant, it’s finally happening”she giggled.
“And you?” Marcus suddenly asked and her smile faltered.
“Do you want to bore my son?” He asked, taking his hand to her stomach.
“I really can’t wait to see you carrying my seed here, it’s gonna be the most beautiful thing ever” his gaze was tender as he continued caressing her stomach.
“Mar…” Valerie tried calling his name but he shut her up with a kiss. One which her body immediately melted into his.

Isabel made her way to the stairs. She had been in the living room throughout that day, obviously hiding herself from Freudian. She was afraid he might hurt her again.
As she made her way to their bedroom, she heard whispering voices and she froze. She could hardly hear what the voice was saying but she knew they were plotting something evil.
Out of curiosity, she inched closer to the direction of the voice which she instantly recognized as Freudian.
“Firstly, you need to ki|| his wife” Isabella’s eyes widened when she heard that. ki|| whose wife? Was her husband a murderer?
“Don’t make it look suspicious. Do it low like you’ve been doing all this while. Don’t add a little portion of the poison into her food but a large quantity this time around. That’d weaken him and he’s going to lose his guard”
Isabella shivered where she stood. Who was he planning to ki||? Just who?!
“Don’t ever let Romeo know what you’ve got under your sleeves. I trust you, Anaya, that’s why I assigned you to this job”.
At the mention of Romeo, Isabella released a soft gasp. Romeo? Does that mean Freudian is trying to ki|| Romeo’s wife?
And wait. Poison? He had been poisoning her all along? Sh!t.
As gently as she could, Isabella retraced her steps and walked to the bedroom with a heavy heart. Romeo was in danger, she really had to do something!
For the two years in which she had been married to Freudian, she knew Romeo was totally different from his father and Freudian. Of course she’s aware of the deep hatred they had for each other, but she couldn’t ever imagine it to this extent of ki||ing an innocent soul.
So far, Romeo had always treated her nicely and she respected him for that.
“No, I can’t just sit back and do nothing. I have to do something. I have to” she paced around the room restlessly, thinking of what she could do.

Rosetta sluggishly opened her eyes, feeling weak. Her body was sore and her eyes were heavy. To sit up became a sudden problem for her and she cursed inwardly. What the hell was wrong with her?
Her eyes went to the other side of the bed to find it empty. Her lips puckered sadly. He’s gone. Just like he always was whenever she woke up in the morning.
After forcefully dragging her tired self to sit up, her mind drifted to the vision she saw when she had her phobia. What was that? Why was she in the midst of those couples? What ki||ed them?.
As she tried to find the answers to her questions, her head throbbed hard and she released a groan.
Anaya entered the room at that moment, holding a tray in her hands. She walked over to Rosetta with a smile playing on her lips.
“Good morning, Mrs. Castillo” she greeted. Rosetta replied with a nod, still clutching her head tight.
“Are you okay? Do you feel any pain?” Anaya asked.
“It hurts,” Rosetta whispered. Anaya immediately took the cup of hot tea and handed it to Rosetta.
“You should drink this, it’ll relieve you down” she said.
Rosetta immediately gulped down the tea as slowly as she could even though the hotness stinged her tongue.
“Thank you” she handed the empty cup to Anaya who smiled in return.
“You’ll be fine,” she muttered.
Rosetta nodded absentmindedly. Strangely, she felt something building up in her stomach. It was so sudden that she flew out of the bed, rushing to the bathroom. Anaya followed her immediately.
“Pukdufuekkkff!!” Rosetta puked into the washing basin, holding her stomach tight. Her insides felt on fire.
“Mrs. Castillo! Are you okay?” Anaya asked worriedly.
With the help of Anaya, Rosetta stood straight, staring at herself in the mirror. Come to think of it, she had added a lot of weight.
Even while she and Romeo were making love last night, he had made a remark about her bôobs which looked bigger and full. What was this?
“Mrs. Castillo…” Anaya’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She turned to look at her.
“I think… I think you’re pregnant” Anaya blurted out and for a brief moment, Rosetta stood still.
“The symptoms say it all. I’ve been watching you for sometime now and now, I can say you’re becoming a mother in some months time” Anaya said.
“I’m… I’m pregnant?” Rosetta stared down at her stomach, her hand moving round it.
Romeo wanted her to have his baby and now… She’s pregnant? How was he going to feel?
He’d probably be happy as that was his wish all along! The thought of her giving birth to Romeo’s baby hit her hard and a wide smile spread on her lips.
“But, I don’t think you shouldn’t have the baby” Rosetta turned to Anaya immediately she uttered that word.
“What do you mean?” Rosetta frowned. What the hell was she spluttering from her mouth!
“I overheard Sir Romeo speaking to someone over the phone. He said once you get pregnant for him, he’s going to divorce you!” Anaya dropped and Rosetta’s eyes widened.
What?!!
