Chapter 9️⃣
Lucia turns around to face Arabella, smiling. “Ignore my son, that’s how he use to behave most times” she said, moving closer to Arabella.
“I am not ma’am.” Arabella said smiling.
“You must be freezing with those w-t clothes, come with me dear.” Lucia said and stretched forth her right hand to Arabella who gladly took it.
Lucia climbed the stairs with Arabella behind her; there were so many rooms and Lucia stopped at the doors of one of them. “This is the room you will stay in.” She said and opened it, and they walked in. The room was well and beautiful furnished and has a conjoined bathroom.
“I thought I and Willow would share a room.” Arabella said. She wants to share a room with Willow.
“Do you have a death wish?” Lucia asked softly.
“I beg your pardon ma’am?”
“Willow doesn’t allow any lady to come close to his room.” Lucia said, how can she explain that any lady who follows Willow home and they enter his room, doesn’t come out alive, he kills them. He had always covered his tracks and no human police had ever suspected him. Arabella should be lucky she is still alive.
“But I am carrying his child, we should be in one room and not in separate rooms.”
“You will, but for the meantime, you will stay here.” Lucia said. “You didn’t bring any clothes with you, I will ask my youngest daughter to bring you some of her old clothes for you to wear.” She added.
“Thank you ma’am, I appreciate it a lot.” Arabella smiled and Lucia returned the smile with one of her own before leaving the room. Arabella’s smile quickly faded into a frown. “A used over clothes is what I, Arabella, will wear. Anyways I should be glad I was accepted.” She said aloud to herself.
She hope Willow won’t request for a DNA after her delivery.

Two Weeks Later….
Aurora received a call from an unknown number and she picked it.
“Hello, this is Aurora speaking, please who am I speaking with?”
“Your twin.” Arabella’s voice could be heard at the other end.
“Arabella?” Aurora asked to be sure.
“Yes sis.”
“I have been worried, you told me you are going to tell your baby father about the pregnancy, you left and it rained that night. I tried calling you but found out you even left your phone behind, you didn’t even call me. I thought something bad has happened to you.” Aurora said, almost crying.
“I am sorry for not contacting you since I left your home. I don’t have much time to talk with you Aurora. They have certain rules and regulations that I must follow and calling any of my relatives is one. He has accepted the pregnancy and his family too.”
“Why are you speaking in a low voice?”
“I don’t know how they do it but they seem to have the gift of hearing whatever you’re saying. They are not around at the moment but I don’t trust the gatekeeper.”
“Okay, anyway, how can they give you such a rule, I am your only living relative you have and you need to be calling me to know how you and your baby are faring.”
“That is the condition he laid out before he could accept his responsibility sis.” Arabella lied.
“Come home Arabella, I will take care of you until your delivery, your child is like mine too, you know that.”
“I don’t want to offend his parents, they are nice to me. I will call you, don’t call this line. Bye sis.” Arabella ended the call before her twin sister would say a word, removed the SIM in the android phone which Lucia had gotten for her and broke it, going to throw the pieces in,side her toilet and flush it.

Six Months and Two Weeks Later….
“Ever since I came here you haven’t taken a second glance at me. You don’t hug me, you don’t care for me, you haven’t even touched me Willow, what did I do wrong? I am carrying your child for crying out loud. I assume you will love me more for carrying your child.” Arabella said to Willow crying.
Willow had just come back from his office and wanted to pass his father and mother who were sitting down with Arabella, when the drama queen stood up and blocked his path. None of his sister’s are here which means they were in their room’s.
This wasn’t what she was expecting from Willow, he is treating her like a piece of shit. Every morning before she wakes up, he is gone for work, at night when he comes back from his office, he walks right past her as if she doesn’t exist. Most nights he brings in ladies home and by morning, they will be gone before she wakes up, so she thinks.
“Ms assumer, I don’t want you here, none of us need you here, especially me but your shrivelled, dehydrated and desiccated brain won’t make you see the reality that is why you assumeeeeeeee a lot.” Willow said, pushing Arabella out of his way roughly and climbing the stairs.

Chapter 1️⃣0️⃣
Lucia comforted Arabella when she burst out crying after Willow had pushed her out of his way.
“I don’t like this ill-treatment your son is giving to me, it’s unfair.” Arabella cried out.
“Willow is like that honey.” Lucia said. Willow keeps getting worse ever since Arabella came to live with them, she thought allowing Arabella in will change Willow’s heart but these past few months just proved Arabella isn’t the one, if she isn’t pregnant with Willow’s child Arabella would have found herself out of the house long ago. “Maybe after you give birth, he will change his attitude towards you dear.” She added and whispered the last part so she wouldn’t hear. “I hope so.”
“Okay aunty.”
One Month Later….
7pm:
Arabella water pot broke and she was rushed by Lucia and Henry to the hospital Arabella has been going for her antenatal. One hour later, she gave birth to a handsome baby boy who didn’t have any resemblance with Willow, he looks a lot like his mother. Rather than having dark hair like Willow or Arabella, he has little cute blond hair.
“She has given birth to a baby boy, Willow.” Lucia announced the news to her son who came back from his office. She has gone home to get a few things required by the hospital when Willow drove him.
“So? Should I dance or clap that she gave birth?”
“You don’t have to sound rude son, I told you so that you should know the girl you got pregnant has delivered safely.”
“The girl I got pregnant indeed.” Willow snorted and climbed the stairs.
*****
Five (5) Years Later….
“Aunty you said he will change once I give birth but he hasn’t, he treats me and his son with total disdain.” Arabella told Lucia, she was the only one talking to her, Willow sisters didn’t like her from onset- it’s none of her business- and now Henry doesn’t talk to her often. Her son, William, was playing with a baby doll Lucia got for him. “It seems I am forcing myself on you all.”
“No you are not.” Lucia lied. “With time I believe Willow will change.”
“I hope so aunty.”

It was 8pm and the whole family had gone out for a birthday party in which they were invited. Arabella had feigned sick and couldn’t go with them with her son.
As soon as they left, Arabella quickly went to her room with William and put the new SIM card she had gotten that same day and dialed a familiar number she knows off head.
“Hello who is this?” Aurora asked.
“Hi sis, it’s me.”
Quickly recognising the voice. “Arabella, are you okay? How are you doing? Where are you? Hope everything is alright sis? How about your pregnancy?”
Arabella started crying immediately. “All is not well sis, they are not taking care of me-”
Interrupting her, “What about your pregnancy?”
“I gave birth to a baby boy, his name is William.” Arabella said. “And just for you to know, I made him your godson.”
“Aww that is so sweet. I want to see you both, where can I see you, please.”
“You can’t see me, his family won’t allow it.” She lied. “I had to beg the gatekeeper to buy me a new sim card that I use in calling you.”
“Just tell me the name of his family and I will report them to the police and have them arrested.”
“Don’t worry I am going to find a way out myself.” Arabella said. “William wants to talk to you, please make it snappy before I am caught.” She put it on a loudspeaker and brought the phone closer to her son.
The cute little voice of William was gear at the other end. “Hello aunty.”
“Hello William, how are you doing?”
“I am fine aunty.”
“Are you alright, hope your father hasn’t assaulted you? I mean he hasn’t lay his hands on you, yes or no?”
Arabella gave him a sign with her head to say yes.
“No.” William said he did not understand his mother’s sign.
“Good, can you tell me your house address number if you know William?”
Arabella’s voice came in. “I got to go, talk to you soon sis.” She ended the call and switched off her phone before her twin would call her, facing her son, she gave him a resounding slap at his two cheeks and drew his left ears up. “If I hear one little sound from your l-ips, you are a dead meat.” She threatened her son and continued, “I told you to say yes but instead you said no.”
“I am sorry mummy.” William said, trying to control the tears that spilt out of his eyes. He covered his mouth so he wouldn’t make a sound hence his mother would carry out her threats. All the wounds in his body were given to him by his mother. She made sure she used a knife to cut his back or lap whenever he did something wrong, like speaking to Kate or Lillian, and wear him long clothes to cover up the marks. She always cleans his wounds she inflicted on him.
“I thought pinning the pregnancy on Willow will change my life around but how wrong I was.” Arabella said to herself, staring at the ceiling and then returning her gaze to William. “You are not a blessing to me and since you don’t want to be that blessing I thought you would be, I will get rid of you.” She added.
‘And pin your murder on Willow’ she thought to herself smirking. Since Willow doesn’t seem to care for her ever since she came here, she will make sure he rots in jail.
William, who seems to know what ‘rid’ is, turned around to run out of the room, but he wasn’t fast as Arabella grabbed hold of his little hand in hers in a tight grip.
She opened her room door and led the way downstairs towards the kitchen. Thank goodness the maids employed comes in the morning and by evening they have gone back to their various homes.
She took the kitchen knife and dragged, half carried William to Willow’s room. Thanking her stars when the door opened, she entered in,side and closed the door behind her. She headed for the bathroom.
Placing her son in,side the bathtub, she on the tap and the water began to fill the bathtub.
She forced him to sit on the tub.
“Mummy, why are you doing this to me, what did I do?” William cried. “I did you no wrong.”
“You did nothing sweetheart, but since I brought you to this world, I also have every right to take you out of this world.” She answered and plunged the knife into Williams stomach, no ounce of pity was in her.
She removed the knife and thr-st it again in his stomach, his blood staining her hand down and his clothes with the water.
“Mummy is doing the right thing okay, mummy loves you.” Arabella told William whose eyes had w¡dened. Leaving the knife in his stomach, she placed her hand at the back of William’s head and pushed it towards the water which was changing into red.
Willow drove in, he had forgotten to take his suitcase with him to the party as he planned to kill the birthday couple.
Entering the house, he stopped walking as he perceived blood.
Following scent which led him to his room.
Arabella was so engrossed with William as she tried to keep William head in,side the water, he wasn’t struggling anymore, that she didn’t hear the sound of footsteps until she was thrown backwards with inhuman strength. Her body broke down the wall when she made impact with it and she grunted in pain as she slid down.
Why did he come home now?
She thought.
Pulling out William much pale and cold from the bloody water and placing him on the tile ground, Willow noticed the young boy wasn’t breathing. William is dead, he is long gone.
Going to take his suitcase, he turned around to face Arabella slowly, his green and amber eyes glowing as his handsome face was twisted in fury. He opened his suitcase and started bringing out the different types and shapes of knives in it.
“How do you want your death?”
“I am sorry Willow, it’s the devil’s handwork.” Arabella lied and started to cry hoping her tears would soften Willow’s heart. It has always worked for her.
But Willow wasn’t moved by her tears. He threw one of his short knives which landed at Arabella left th-gh.
“How do you want your death?” He repeated his question.
