"No" she shook her head whisperingly,
unable to believe it.
Her eyes were narrowing on the floor.
Now, it was all getting clear to her. The symptoms and everything!! she had been pregnant!
"No.!" She shook her head again, hot scalding
cheeks.
She stood up from the bed and marched
towards the door, but Leo was fast enough to grab her
"Becca..."
"No!!" She screamed in tears and agony.
Pamela was also on her feet already, in
unbelievable shock.
She was too shocked to even hold her
friend
"No!! No!! Let me go!! Let me go!"
Becca continued screaming, unable to ecpress the pains she felt.
She was pregnant but she lost her baby;
she lost her first child; her first child for
Khalid.
"Octavia!!" She cried in a high pitched
tone, her voice went really far.
Even Octavia who was reminiscincing
on the floor heard it and her eyes
snapped open.
"Let me go!! Let me go!! She killed my
baby!'' She fell into Leo's arms.
The door burst open and Khalid rushed
in, his steps not too fast tho.
Immediately, Becca ran away from Leo's
arms and ran to him instead, hugging him tight.
"Khalid!" She cried out, gripping him tight.
Khalid had been stunned at the drama
and wanted to understand what was
going on.
"She killed my baby! She killed my baby!"
Becca sniveled against his shoulders.
Khalid was confused. What baby is she
talking about?
He looked at the faces of Leo and Pamela, trying to get more answers from them.
"She killed my baby! I lost my child!" She
continued crying like an insane woman.
Slowly, Khalid lifted his hands to her hair and stroke it softly.
"It's okay, Becca. It's okay. You need to
rest he whispered into her ears, driving
her with the sleeping sensation.
And instantly, she passed out.

Octavia shook in fear when the door
opened and her sister rushed in, looking
paranoid.
Octavia!" She called and Octavia sprang
on her feet immediately.
Oh! It was obvious; something was
wrong and she was in trouble.
"What have you done?" Mica whimpered.
"Why did you do it?"
Honestly, Octavia was confused.
"D..D..Did what?" She stuttered anxiously.
"Why did you attack Becca! She was
pregnant, but now, she had a
miscarriage as a result of what you did!
Why the hell did you do it?!" Mica half
yelled and Octavia's eyes dimmed.
Wait... what?
Her heart splitted into two and she had
to place her hand on her chest to
support it.
Becca was pregnant? She was pregnant?
Oh! No wonder the bleeding. She was pregnant!
Octavia, you've created a mess" Mica
winced. "What have you done?"..
"I didn't want to do it" she muttered, a
tear rolling down her cheek.
"I didn't want to do it. She...She
attacked me. She attacked me".
She slided downwards on the wall untill
her butts hit the floor.
Her hands were literally shaking.
Oh God! She had caused the death of
Becca's child. Not just Becca's child, but
Khalid's child.
**

Khalid stood facing the window as Leo
explained everything to him Becca
being pregnant without her knowledge,
then losing the baby out of her fight
with Octavia. He explained everything to
him and when he was done, all Khalid
gave was silence as he just focused on
the window, staring through it.
Whatever he was thinking, he didnt
want to let it known to anyone. So, he
just remained silent.
"How's Becca now?" He finally asked,
after taking a deep sigh.
''She's awake now. But hasn't spoken a word to anyone." Leo replied and Khalid nodded.
Then, he dismissed him and he bowedd
and left.
At a point, he felt pained and bittered that she had lost her baby; her child for him.
He could imagine the pains she was
passing through and wondered why it
had to happen in the first place.
**
**
**
"Becca" Pamela called softly and placed
her hand on her thighs.
"You need to eat something, please. You
can't just continue starving yourself, you
know? Please".
Becca was mute as her pale eyes only stared into space.
Her cheeks held an unhealthy palor and
all she felt were pains; nothing but
pains.
"Oh! That damn that Octavia!" Pamela
mumbled. "How could she?"
Suddenly, Becca stood up and Pamela
stood up with her as well.
"Becca.."
"Take me to Khalid's room" she said in
a rough tone. "I want to see him".
**

Octavia sat on the floor with her sister
beside her. They had both been silent for a long while, and Octavia's sniffles had already died down.
"What do you think would happen to me
now?" She turned slightly to her sister
and asked.
A few seconds passed, then Mica sighed and answered:
"I don't know, Octavia. But I know it's gonna get really awkward".
Octavia lowered her gaze to the floor and didn't say any other thing.
Of course, what was she even expecting?
She hurt the Master's girlfriend and child
and expects to go scott free?
"How's your wound healing up?" Mica
asked after a while and made to open
Octavia's shirt.
Without hesitation, Octavia gave her, her back so she could have a look.
Suddenly, she heard Mica gasp and was
surprised.
"What happened to your scars?" She
asked in a shocked tone nd Octavia
was..well, confused.
She didn't know what she was talking
about.
"My scar?" She asked. "I don't..."
"Yes, I thought you had scars from what
Moscow did to you? Why can't I find any
on your back anymore?" Mica cut her
off and Octavia arched her brows.
Hold on...
What???
She twisted her hand to her back so she could feel it as well and to her greatest
surprise, she really couldn't find a trace
of it anymore! The scars were gone! But
how possible???
"Oh my God" she muttered and turned too
face Mica.
But the scar had been there some hours
ago before she had gone to Khalid's
room.
Hold on.. Khalid
During the intercourse, she could
remember him moving his hand up and
down her back. Could it be possible he...
"What happened to it?" Mica asked.
"Moscow said the scars would only heal
gradually and might even take upto a month. So, how come it just suddenly vanished?"
Octavia was quiet for a while, trying to
see if Khalid was indeed behind it.
Then, just when she was about saying
something, the door went open and two
boys showed up - one of them Mosocw.
There was a wicked grin on his face as
he glared at Octavia.
"Get her" he growled to the boy beside
him and without hesitation, the boy
walked into the room and grabbed
Octavia by the arm.
"Hey! Where are you taking her?" Mica
snapped as she stood up as well.
"You can go ahead and ask Khalid"
Moscow snorted and signalled the boy to follow him.
And with that, they all left the room
together.
