"you know I thought after the accident Randy and that girl will never be together again, but it seems it has brought them even closer, we need to act fast because this is getting out 9f hands, the whole community knows about them" the queen told the king
"don't worry my queen, I'm still grooming ebuka to agree to do this for us, we can't have her blood on our hands, so since ebuka is very loyal to Randy I'm making sure he warms up to me, but soon she will be under ground" the king said
"u felt bad when my nephew cried for that girl, but now I see the reason why my brother did what he did, this is unacceptable" the queen clicked her tongue.

yildiz was feeling very tired at work, she tried to be strong but she failed, her body wasn't giving in. "I think I'm coming down with fever, I'm tired" she told her colleague
"is it?" the girl said
"what?" yildiz asked
"to me you look like someone who's coming down with a baby in a few months" she said laughing
"meaning?" yildiz was confused
"I've been watching this whole week and the last actually since you came back from your vacation, you have all the symptoms of a pregnant woman" she said
"what?" yildiz almost fainted
"yildiz, stop being dramatic, did you use protection?" she asked
"no, but... I mean..." she didn't know what to say
"right there, so it's a possibility, g9nget checked up but I'm certain you're pregnant" the girl said
"I can't be, my mother will kill me" yildiz said sitting down.
"are you kidding? you're 27, why would she kill an old woman like you for being pregnant?" the girl clearly didn't know yildiz's situation
"never mind, let me try to finish my work as fast as I can, I'm going to see the gynecologist today, gosh I'm so scared" yildiz said
"I wonder why, I got pregnant with my first child at the age of 21, I was old enough according to me, I had my second one I was 25 thats when I got married, and I was still in varsity, then the third one I was your age, and look at you, so shocked like you're a teen" the girl said, yildiz wasn't even listening to her anymore, she was occupied with thoughts, she knows for sure thay her mother will kill her, and she doesn't know how Randy will take this also.
later when she knocked off, she went tonsee the gynecologist, they checked her urine, and blood, the results all said she's pregnant, they then did a scan, it was shown that she's 5 weeks pregnant. she wanted to cry, how can something so beautiful feel so wrong, her first child might be the reason for all her problems. she counted the weeks back to see when she got pregnant, thay was the second week of their vacation, she cried all the way home.
"yildiz my babe, whats wrong?" her mother asked seeing how terrible she was.
"mom I'm so sorry, I'm sorry I've failed you" She used this words but honestly that's not what she's sorry for
"what is it?" her mother asked hugging her
"I'm pregnant" she said, her mother broke the hug and looked at her
"you're what?" she asked
"I'm five weeks pregnant mom" yildiz said
"does Randy know yet?" her mother asked
"then let's keep it that way yildiz, you will leave this place and come back when you have given birth, we don't want anything happening to you and the baby" her mother said
"but mom I just a job, I can't just leave" yiodiz said
"you will if you love your baby yildiz, please stop being stubborn because you and I know this is going the direction we have always fought that it might go to, now to change this, you must leave, I cannot loose you two" her mother said
"but mom Randy deserves to know" yildiz said
"how sure are you thay he won't tell his family yildiz?" her mother snapped
"he wont" yildiz said
"you've made wrong decisions since you've got back to this boy, you left your job, sold him your shares, and now you want to risk your child's life for him, I give up, do what you think it's right, but don't ever come to me crying" her mother said angry.
yildiz called Randy and told him, she also told him that she wants to leave but Randy told her not to, so she stayed.
she had very terrible symptoms, even fatigue. her mother nursed her when she got back from work and on weekends, Randy also did his best to look after her.
.....
"you can't believe what ebula told me" the king sitting on his bed
"what?" the queen asked
"that girl is pregnant" the king said
"this is what I was trying to prevent, what are going to do?" the queen asked
"I think we should burn them in the house, let history repeats itself" the king said
"and we loose our blood, what if that's the only child Randy will ever have?" the queen asked
"what do you suggest we do?" the king asked
"how about we let her give birth first, then steal the baby and kill her, we can't kill our son's baby" the queen said
"you do realize that that son's baby of yours will never rule this kingdom since it's not royalty fully, so what's the use of saving it, right now she's just a few weeks, it's not even showing according to what I've heard, so let's act now to avoid the guilt" the king said
"you're right, did you brief ebuka?" the queen asked
"not yet, I will, I just wanted to talk to you first" the king said
"let's do it, how about tomorrow night?" the queen asked
"that's perfect, you and I are going to a council meeting then we are sleeping in a hotel, I don't want to be here when it happens" the king said.
in the morning the king briefed ebuka about his plans, they offered him a lit of money that can change his life forever so he agreed, so he has to burn them tonight, for now he has to keep tabs on them.
....
yildiz woke up feeling very tired, she told her mother about it and they prepared to go see the doctor.
"everything seems fine to me, pregnancy differ from woman to woman, what you're feeling is normal in the first trimester, it will due down when you get to your second trimester, what I will do now is to give you this vitamins, and please don't stress a lot, or work a lot, especially lifting heavy stuff, it's risky." the doctor told yildiz.
"but I don't feel fine, I feel extremely tired" yildiz explained
"let me keep you here for a few hours, then we will see how you are later today, your mother can go home, I'll call you later to inform you 9f her progress" the doctor said, yildiz's mother left.
on her way home she felt like she was followed, she kept looking back, but saw nothing, when she for inside she just felt like something is wrong, she started thinking of the day they got burned inside the house, she felt the same way but didn't know what it was, but now since she's feeling it again, she called yildiz, she didn't want to stress her but she had to.
"yildiz something is wrong, we need to leave and make sure nobody sees us, do you remember how I felt when they killed your father and your sister? thays how I feel today and I felt someone was following me" she told yildiz who immediately regained strength to discharge herself, she drove home to get her mother, they packed their important stuff and loaded it in the car.
"do you think they'll want to burn the house now?" yildiz asked
"yildiz they want to burn us, not the house, and no, they will wait until it's very dark, so we need to make sure we sneak out of the house when 8t gets darker and make sure no one sees us, not even the neighbors" her mom said
"then let me drive this car to wjere we will get it late when we escape, I'll call Mike so long to fetch it and wait for us" she said, then drove out, she too saw someone that she thought was ebuka, she didn't want to call Randy because she wasn't sure if he's into this too or not. she met with Mike and told him to wait for them.
...
"my king I think it's time, call ebuka, then call Randy" the queen said.
"ebuka you can do it now, are you sure they're both in the house?"
"yes my king, they are, should I go inside?" ebuka asked
"no ebuka, just make sure they won't be able to escape, make sure you pure enough petrol and there is no escape, but don't let anyone see you, when you're done go home and bath, then chill with Randy" the king said, after the call he called Randy and spoke about the meeting.
...
yildiz and her mother got out from the sliding door at the back and went to hide in the toilet, they made sure to lock the door on their way out.
"what If nothing happens, I mean we could be wrong?" yildiz asked
"wait and see, if nothing happens then we will go back inside, bit I'm leaving this place either way" her mother said.
just an hour later, they heard foot steps, then the smell of petrol, then the house was on flames, they saw ebuka when he ran out, he jumped the fence right next to the toilet, they waited a few minutes and jumped out thay way too, they called Mike and he met them half way.
yildiz mother was in tears.
