Chapter 28

Bella knocked on the door to Clinton's study.

Can I come in?

He studied her for a while before obliging her.

I wanted to ask you something..

What..

I..I..she stammered

Speak! .He shouted

I just wanted to know if we could pick a name or two for them. They'll be out in two months time..

He scoffed. You've got some balls. I see..Just so you know, you aren't going to appear in their lives. You may not live till then and I make the choices myself..he said still busy with his laptop

You don't want them to know me?..she asked bewildered

Exactly..

Then let me at least contribute to their naming..

Your contribution at carrying and giving birth to them is enough...

You have been threatening my life..she was starting to cry, screaming

What do you want from me. How much did I cost you, I promise to pay back every coin. Just let me go. I did nothing to you..she hit his chest

He controlled himself because he knew that if he did not, he might hurt his children

Ill leave the kids and never return.. she was now bawling

Are you not afraid I might one day wake up and poison the five of us?

She stormed out of his study crying now. Clinton dropped his mouse and twirled his chair thoughtfully

He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

In no time, a man came in. Clinton asked him to place the cameras at strategic points around the house to monitor her.

He also instructed the guards to keep watch over her

She ran upstairs to her room. It had been long she visited there. The doctor had said she needed company at night, that was why she wasn't sleeping there. And the other night when he told her not to sleep on the bed, he had locked it up.

She packed all the expensive jewelries she had acquired into a bag.

She stuffed them into the bag she had prepared for delivery time.

She took them downstairs and tried to leave forcefully. But, the guards wouldn't let her.

Her scary large stomach did not move them.

Clinton came out looked at her and didn't say anything. The guards gestured to him asking if they should take her upstairs. Clinton told the men to leave her. She sprawled on the floor wailing. She cried for two hours straight. After sometime, she slept off On the ground. He carried her to the room and covered her.

He looked at her for sometime, from her hair to skin. He noticed a necklace around her neck. He had always wanted to know what it was. He always saw it around her neck and she hardly went anywhere without it. He took a closer look and saw that it was an old rope with an old golden pendant. He wondered what she was doing with such an old necklace. He picked it up and she turned on the bed
