" Don't leave the house. Make sure you get enough rest. I have endured there I'd enough food in the house do please eat" Lucas ranted on.

"Okay, I get it. I am pregnant and not disabled" she told him.

"Oh I forgot to mention, this is Jacob he will be your new bodyguard and Camila will be your new maid. Camila is to be with you all the time to help you with all you need "

"Don't you think you are overreacting about this? " Zawadi asked.

"No, far from it .I am trying to make sure you are safe, Only yesterday you slipped and nearly fell" he said.

"But I didn't fall "she argued.

"Only because I reached you fast enough. I have to keep you and the baby safe. So for my peace of mind and your safety, please listen to me" he kissed her forehead.

"Okay, I will. Bye" she told him.

"Bye, Cupcake. Have a nice day "

Lucas left and Sam followed soon after.

"Shall I serve you your tea madam " Camila asked

"No need Camila, I will have breakfast with you in the kitchen dinning. And please drop the formalities. " Zawadi said.

"But madam Mr Steele... "

"Well, he is not here. Or is he? Now come. Let's have breakfast. And call me Zawadi, you make me feel old when you call me madam." she said with a laugh.

"Okay, then you should call me Camy" Camila said.

"So, tell me about yourself " Zawadi said stirring her tea.

"Well, My name is Camila Williams. I am 20 years old. I am currently at the University though I put that on hold since I didn't have the fees. So I thought I'd work first then save up for the tuition fee.

I am an only child, and my parents died when I was 12.I stayed with my uncle and aunt till I was 18 then I moved out to live on my own" Camila said.

"I am sorry about your parents." Zawadi said holding Camilas hand in hers. "Anyway, you now have a friend. Me" Zawadi said cheerfully.

Zawadi and Camila were seated in the living room playing cards. It was around midday and the sun was blazing hot.

"Let's go swimming, I am bored" Zawadi suggested.

"But Mr Steele said you should rest, " Camila said.

"I am going for a swim not to build a swimming pool. I won't be doing any work at all. Go get changed then we will go"Zawadi said getting up.

"Okay" Camila walked Zawadi to her room before she turned to go to hers to change.

"You look hot " Camila complemented Zawadi who was seated at the edge of the pool, her feet submerged in the water.

"Me or you. Look at you. "Zawadi turned to her left and saw that Sam , who was on the other end of the pool was checking out Camila.

"Even Sam agrees " Zawadi said pointing towards Sam who just looked away as soon as he was caught staring.

Camila blushed and looked down. She however lifted her face when she gasped loudly.

"You like him" Zawadi said a grin covering her face.

"No" Camila said fiddling with the hem of her swim suit.

"Yes you do. And I bet he feels the same. I mean he keeps checking you out"

"Do you really think he likes me. I mean I have seen the kind of women he hangs around with I am nothing compared to them " Camila admitted her expression turning sad.

"Of course he likes you. Why wouldnt he? You are beautiful and smart. He is a fool if he can't see that you are way better than all those other girls.

"Really? " she asked taking a seat next to Zawadi.

"Of course, Now forget it. Let's swim. " Zawadi said jumping into the water.

When they were done with their swimming session, Zawadi and Camila decided to watch a movie .

So there they were, eyes glued to the screen, their attention focused on the romantic movie playing on the screen.

Zawadi broke into a cry in the middle of the movie, saying it was too sad. Camila had tried to change the movie so many times but Zawadi had refused.

At the exact same moment, Lucas decided to call, to check on her.

"Hello Cupcake. How's your day going " Lucas asked.

"Not good" she said and sniffed.

"Why? Are you crying?"Lucas asked worriedly.

"Yes. I am so sad " Zawadi said.

"Why? Is everything okay?Are you and the baby okay? "he asked.

"Yes, we are fine. But Martha is dead. He killed her. I can't believe that he killed her. I hate him" she shouted, crying.

"Who is Martha? " Lucas asked confused.

"She is is the lead actress in this movie we are watching " she explained.

"A movie? Are you serious "he raised his Voice in disbelief.

"Don't yell at me."

"I am sorry Cupcake. I wasn't yelling at you. Why are you crying so much over a movie? " he asked.

"I don't know. It's so sad. He killed her. She loved him and he still killed her" she said then blew her nose.

"Cupcake, you need to come down. It was just a movie and... "

"It is not just a movie. Something like that can happen in real life" she countered.

"I don't think you should watch any more of those movies. You can't handle them" he said.

"I can handle them. its just that Martha really loved him. She even left her family for him . And him... " she started crying again.

"That's it, I am coming home " Lucas decided.

"Bring me ice cream on your way " Zawadi said cheerfully.

"Are you bipolar? Just right now you were crying and... " he sighed" Never mind.I'll bring you ice cream "

"I love you" she said.

"I'll be there soon "he told her.

He was about to hung up when she stopped him.

"Don't you dare cut the call. I told you I love and you didn't say it back. What are you? Deaf? Do you love someone else? " she asked angrily.

"No, it's not that. I am sorry "

"I knew it. You used to tell me that you love me. Now that I am pregnant and fat, you don't want me anymore " she started crying again.

"Cupcake, you are one month pregnant. You haven't even gained that much weight yet. I am sorry for not saying it back . I love you. Okay? " he asked.

"Okay " she said.

"I am on my way. " he said and hung up.
