FLAMES - CHAPTER 43&44
Kara locked the door behind her as soon as she ran into the room.
She wanted to call Richard but her phone fell while running.
Chelsea reached the room and started banging on the door loudly.
“Open this door now,or I’ll break it”Chelsea yelled, hitting the door harder.
Chelsea noticed she couldn’t break it on her own,she looked around and found a hammer.
Kara flinched when she started using the hammer to hit the door.
Is this how her life is gonna end?
Because in a few minutes Chelsea will break down the door.
Kara squat on the floor silently praying for someone to come and save her.

Richard was in a board meeting when is phone rang normally he switches off his phone when he’s in a meeting but today he forgot.
“Excuse me”He said to the board members and left to answer the call.
📞”Yes?”Richard asked.
📞”I saw Chelsea walking into your house and she had a knife with her”
📞”What?!”Richard yelled in shock and ran out of the company.
📞”I’m outside the mansion now, I’m going in”
📞”Be quick and make sure nothing happens to her”Richard said, jumping into his car.
📞”Yes boss”

Chelsea finally managed to break down the door,she walked in breathing hard.
“You though you can get away from me?”Chelsea laughed.
“Please leave me alone”Kara cried,moving back as Chelsea took steps closer to her.
“I can’t,I won’t let you go,die!!!”Chelsea yelled demonically and raised the knife to stab Kara.
Kara closed her eyes waiting for her faith,She heard a gunshot and Chelsea dropped dead on Kara’s body.
Kara yelled and pushed Chelsea’s body off her.
She raised her head and saw a young man standing in front of her,he was dressed in all black and he was holding a gun.
He shot Chelsea.
Kara immediately fell unconscious and the young man named,Jasper caught her.
Richard ran in at that moment,his face filled with worries.
“What’s wrong with her?”Richard asked, breathlessly, taking Kara from him.
“She’s fine,she just fainted due to shock”Jasper replied.
Richard held Kara tightly to himself,he looked at Chelsea’s body h@??fully.
“Make sure she doesn’t die,she need to be taught a lesson”Richard said, coldly.
“Yes boss”Jasper replied.
Richard carried Kara away.

Richard restlessly stood outside Kara’s ward,he was pacing around once in a while,waiting for the doctor to finish her check up.
The doctor came out and Richard rushed to him.
“How is she?”Richard asked.
“They are both fine”The doctor smiled.
“Both?”Richard asked,confused.
“Don’t you know she’s pregnant “He doctor smiled,Richard froze.
“What did you say?”Richard asked to be sure of what he heard.
“She’s pregnant “The doctor replied and Richard face remained expressionless for a second as if trying to process what the doctor just said.
“She’s pregnant “Richard repeated,lowly.
“She’s pregnant!!”Richard yelled, loudly and hugged the doctor.
“She’s pregnant,my wife is pregnant!”Richard smiled, jumping like a kid round the hospital.
He finally stopped when he was tired,he ran into the room Kara was kept.
She was sleeping but as soon as he walked in she opened her eyes slowly.
“Little wife”He called and hugged her.
“I thought I was going to die”Kara cried.
“I won’t ever let anything happen to you and my child”He said and Kara broke the hug to look at him.
“You’re pregnant “He said, softly.
“Oh my God!”She shrieked, hugging him.
“I love you both”Richard said touching her tummy.
“We love you too Mr. Rich”
•NEXT DAY•
Richard woke up early before Kara,he hopped on his bike and drove away.
He stopped in front of the abandoned building,he walked into the building.
Chelsea and the doctor Luke were tied together,blood were stained on their faces and they clothes were torn.
“Ri…Richard”Chelsea called when he came next to her with a knife.
“Don’t worry,I won’t ki|| you,not yet”Richard smirked.
“Am sor…sorry”Chelsea cried trying to break free from the ropes tying her down.
“My wife cried because of you and I don’t forgive that type of offence”Richard said,trailing the knife gently on Chelsea face.
“Please sir let me go”Dr. Luke cried.
“Shut the f-__-k up!”Richard stabbed a knife on his leg and the man yelled in pain.
“And you,I have other plans for you”He said looking at Chelsea,she gulped.
He picked up a bottle from the table and poured all it’s content on Chelsea.
In a matter of seconds she started screaming.
“Richard please help me,it burns …….Richard!!!”She cried,wiggling around in pain.
Richard picked a gun and shot Dr. Luke on his stomach five times before leaving the house.
When he got home Kara was waiting for his on the couch.
“Where were you?”Kara asked.
“I went to a church to pray”Richard replied.
“You Pray?”Kara raised a brow.
“Of course I do, don’t think too much about it,have you eaten?”He asked.
“No,I was waiting for you”She replied.
“Stop doing this,when you feel hungry then eat, don’t wait for me,mm?”He said and she nodded.
“Let’s go”He said leading her to the dinning room.
“I made breakfast for you before leaving “He said and she smiled.
“Really? You can cook?”She asked.
“I can do many things baby “He kissed her forehead before bringing out the food.
He dished out the food and they are together.

Simon and Rockey were done with their final exams and they were going to see their results on the school notice board.
“I can’t look,am scared”Rockey said, closing her eyes with her hands.
“Let me check”Simon said and went nearer to the board,he scanned for their names and when he finally saw it he smiled.
He went back to Rockey and pulled her hands down from her face.
“Did I make it?”She asked.
“You did amazingly well”He said and she jumped on him,he easily caught her with his strong arms.
She wrapped her legs around his waist and screamed.
“Am going to Oxford!!!”
“What about you?”She asked.
“I made the top of the list,you can’t pass me”He said proudly.
“I can’t believe we’ll be in a long distance relationship “She sighed sadly.
“I’ll miss you”She mumbled.
“Me too”He said and kissed her.
“Ewww..Don’t do that here”Jade appeared with Britney on his back.
They started dating some few days ago.
Rockey stuck her tongue at him.
“Where’s Zena?”Britney asked.
“Your queen is here!”Zena said dramatically as she walked in with Brett.
“Queen alright”Rockey rolled her eyes.
“Let’s have a party”Brett suggested.
“To celebrate our last day in highschool “Jade added.
“Not today though,me and my butterfly have a date today”Simon said.

“Mr. Rich my baby is hungry”Kara pouted.
“What does my baby what this time around?”He asked,kissing her hair.
“Hotdogs,pizza, ice cream, cheesecake, hand burgers, tacos, and sharwama”Kara smiled.
“What’s sharwama?”Richard asked.
“I saw it online and it looked so good, please get it for me”Kara pouted.
“But where will…….”
“Ahhh!….My baby is hungry,he want sharwama “Kara cried rolling on the bed.
“Okay,stop, I’ll get it for you”Richard said and she stopped rolling.
“Carry me,I want to the living room and watch tv”Kara said stretching her arms.
He chuckled and lift her up.
“You know I won’t be able to carry you if you keep adding weight like this”Richard chuckled and she hit his head.
“Are you trying to say that me and my baby is fat?”Kara asked angrily.
“No, that’s not what I mean,stop getting violent “He sighed.
When he got downstairs he gently dropped her on the couch.
Then he lift her top and placed his ear on her tummy.
“Can you hear it?”Kara asked.
“Yes,am sure it’s going to be cute just like his mother”Richard smiled and kissed her tummy before covering her tummy.
“His? It’s gonna be a girl”Kara said.
“Daddy wants a boy”Richard replied.
“Am the one giving birth so I should decide which gender it is”Kara replied immediately.
“It’s doesn’t work that way wife,we don’t decide it we just hope”Richard said, Stroking her hair.
“You’re right, what about my food?”She asked.
“I haven’t ordered it,I forgot “He said, bringing out his phone.
“I might faint if my food doesn’t get here soon”She said slumping into the couch.
“It’s going to take sometime to get here,the sharwama is not common around here,I ordered it from town,so it’ll take two or three hours to get here”He said and she sighed.
“Let’s go eat outside “He said and helped her to stand.
As they were about to leave Nicole came in with Holland and Carson.
“Going somewhere?”Nicole asked.
“Yes we were just about going out”Richard said.
“Well Carson has something to say before we leave “Nicole said.
“Am sorry for insulting you”Carson muttered.
“It’s in the past, let’s forget about it and move on”Kara smiled.
“Congrats bro”Holland said and Richard glared at him.
“Come on we’re brothers “Holland sighed.
“Stepbrothers”Richard corrected.
“It’s the same”Holland groaned.
“How’s my baby doing?”Nicole asked.
“She’s fine”Kara smiled, touching her tummy.
“Okay we’ll be leaving now “Nicole smiled and they left.
“Let’s go too”Kara said dragging Richard out.

After Kara decided everything they wanted,the waitress left to bring it.

“Better?”He asked and she nodded.
“We should soon go get baby clothes”Richard said.
“This is just the first month and you want to buy clothes”Kara laughed.
“Am just so excited,I can’t wait for our family to finally be complete”Richard said.
“I can’t wait too”
Richard took a deep breath,he reached into his pocket and brought out a box.
