                            Lisa's POV
Young lady, is it true? My father asked. Yes Dad I'm pregnant. I said and who is the father? My Dad asked . His name is Richard, we met two nights ago and he is  aware and promised to take full responsibility. I lied . so where is he now my Dad asked further, well he is overseas but promise to come immediately he is done with his business. I said.
Tell him to see me as soon as he gets back, its good even without the wedding, you already have a successor to take over you. My father said. Surprised that my father wasn't mad or didn't react in an angry manner, I spoke up, If there's nothing else, I'll like to take my leave first. I said and left. Hmm... I sighed as I got on my bed. What did your Dad say. Sam said out of nowhere. Hey, where did yo come from, I thought you said u had something important to do . I said. Yeah sure and I'm back so tell me, what did he say, well, I lied to him, I told him I knew the father and he has taken responsibility of my child. What the fuck... So what are you going to do, How are you going to provide the father? Why didn't you just tell him the truth? She asked one question after another, I didn't tell him because I don't want to abort my baby, I don't know, I just feel the need to protect my baby. I said and I just need to look for a man to pose as Richard, I'll convince Dad that he will take responsibility and we don't need to marry in a grand style and then I'll fake a marriage certificate and bring it to him proving we are married, I said . Don't you think that is too risky, what would happen when he eventually finds out? She asked. Well when we reach that bridge we would cross it and that is all I can say. I said before my phone began to ring Holly molly... I forgot I had an interview today I said. Hii Nora, You didn't show up again , I guess you really don't need this job, its like a play to you right? No Nora, I collapsed and was taken to the hospital, I just got back home now. I explained, well, there is no use explaining, you already lost this shot and that's it. Nora, you really can't treat me like this, please give me one last Chance, I was really at the hospital, I said. Nora please, just one last Chance, I said . OK fine I'll call you if I get another Job, she said . thank you so Much, I'll never forget this, I said and hung up. Do you still need to attend any audition with your condition?Sam asked. yes, I'm still only a few days pregnant. I said to her. Ok, I'll take my leave now, she said. As soon as she left, I drifted to sleep. ###Mum, Lisa is pregnant, Emily said. What? How did it happen? My step mum asked. Well , I guess it must have being the night of the wedding, ohh.. We have to act as fast as possible else everything would be willed to her. Mum what should we do now? Emily asked. I know what to do . she said
The next morning, I woke up with a banging headache much worse than the once I had few days ago. So what am I going to do? How am I going to arrange for a fake husband, I really don't want to kill my first child. I dont know why, even without knowing the father, I still feel the need to protect my baby. Ohh... I almost forgot, its mum birthday today, i have to visit her, I said to my self as I got up to take my bath. After applying little make up, I went downstairs, had little breakfast and went to visit my mum.
Mum, I bought flowers for you, i said as I knelt down in front of her tomb, its your birthday today and I just thought to visit you, mum, so many things have happened that I can't place my mind on and I don't know what to do. Mum, You remember I always told you about Aaron, I always told you, I loved him and he loved me too, I promised to bring him to see you after our marriage but mum Aaron betrayed me, all those I call family betrayed me, they betrayed me on what was supposed to be the best day of my life, they shattered my happiness, they took everything away from me. Mum , I don't know what to do.  I said in tears. Mum, do you know that I'm pregnant and i don't even know the father. I scoffed . But why do I feel the need to protect the baby, why do I feel attached to the baby, I even lied to Dad I know the father just to keep the baby, Mum, I'm stranded and I don't what to do. You remember when I was young, you always told me to be strong and face everything with courage but now I have no courage at all. I'm not strong and i don't know what to do. Mum, please will you show me the way like always? Will you guide me and advise me like you do when I was young? I don't have anyone mum, Dad thinks Emily saved the family and I'm a bad girl, he wouldn't listen to my side of the story, he doesn't know that Emily kidnapped me in other to marry Aaron and now I can't even face the world properly because everyone thinks I'm a rotten egg. Wiping my tears , mum I know I shouldn't bore you with my life when today is your birthday, I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it. I said . mum, happy birthday. I wish you were still alive, we would have sang for you and blown candles, I would have made you favorite sea food dishes for you, Do you know all these years, I  learnt how to prepare your favourite dishes, I wish you were here to taste the food prepared by your daughter. Mum, I have to go now but I promise, I'll be back and i also promise to protect my child at all cost. I said and left.When I got home I took a shower and retired to bed, I needed that sleep with everything going on with in my life.               

                    *Seven months later*                               it was already seven months and my tummy has grown big but not many people are aware of my pregnancy. I work from home and aside today that i went to visit mum, its been long i came out. And just then my phone rang. Hello Sam, I said  Lisa are you okay? She asked. Yes , what happened? Lisa get off that car as soon as possible, your step mum has planned a disastrous...
And an Ongoing truck hit me and it all went black.
*** Lisa you are finally awake. Sam said. How long have I been gone?I asked. A month and few days. Sam answered, A month?? I said in surprise and she nodded. Ohh... My baby, how is my baby? I asked. Lisa, you have to calm down. Calm down... What happened to my baby? I asked again. Lisa, you lost the child. Sam said . I lost my child. How is that possible? Lisa the accident was serious that you slumped into Coma and the baby could not survive it. Sam said . My babyyyy... I screamed as hot tears were running down my cheek. I want to leave this place now. I said, you can't leave, though you have woken up, you still have to be under serious examination to prevent any bad thing from happening. Sam said. Hmm... I need some time alone, i said to Sam. OK I'll leave but make sure you call me if you need anything, she said and left. I was feeling nothing and no emotions, it was as if my emotions was blank.
Lisa, Are you okay, my step sister Emily asked as they entered inside my ward. Don't you dare, Don't you dare pretend you care, Are you satisfied now, you killed my baby, you murdered my innocent child because of your greed, I will never forgive you. I said . Lisa, Emily really wasn't... Spare me Aaron , I need some time alone so please take your gifts and leave I said to Emily and Aaron and they left.
I went into the bathroom and changed into my gown and left the hospital, I kept running and running till I got to my mum's grave yard. Mum... I screamed, they killed my baby, they didn't even let him see the light of the day, they killed him like it didn't have life, they killed him for their selfish intention, they didn't care even if it was a life they took, mum, what am I going to do, they ruined my last hope of existence, I cried and cried till i was weak and then I just listened to the silence as if I was going to get answers. And when it was time, I headed home straight. Hii, I said on the phone, this is Alissa Olsen, Can you please help me book a night flight  to Scotland, United Kingdom? Yes ma'am, the lady at the other end said. Ohh... Thank you. I said and hung up and immediately called Esther, my colleague, later I'll send in my resignation letter to your mail,can you please help me print it out and hand it over to the boss, I'm afraid I won't be able to hand it over to him in person,I said. Is there something wrong? Esther asked. No I just want to take a break, i said. OK, Email it to me, I forward it tomorrow, thank you. I said and hang up and just then I got home .
Young lady, why did you leave the hospital? The Doctor said you left without informing anyone and now you are back home. My father said. Mark, I think you should calm down, my step mum said. Calm down , isn't this what you wanted, how cruel could you be, you killed my unborn baby all for your selfish intention, I'll never forgive you and I'll make you pay for destroying my life. I said as I went up ignoring my Dad's call. Mark, she is going through a difficult time, you know she just lost her baby so i think we should give her time, she would heal, my step mum said. As soon as I got to my room, I opened my box and pack all my loads and went downstairs, young lady,where are you going to? My Dad asked. I'm leaving, I said and left. I already booked an uber  so it arrived and took me to the airport. The plane is about to take off now so I would like to inform everyone to please put on your seat belt and remain calm. Have a safe flight the flight attendant said. and just then the plan took off I left this country that brought me nothing but pain, so much pain.
