people were screaming for help, the community was just in a chaotic situation, but eventually the house burned to ashes, by the time the firefighters arrived, it was way too late.
it was was the talk of town, 9n the news also and papers.
Randy was reading a newspaper, he froze when he saw this "burned to ashes" then a picture of yildiz with her mother, he called ebuka
"my prince?" ebuka
"what happened here?" he asked
"let me see?" rbuka took the paper "I have no idea my prince, let me go and check" ebuka said
"I'll go with you" Randy, they drove to yildiz's home and unfortunately there was no house anymore just ashes and the forensics.
"were there people in here?" Randy asked one of the forensics
"we haven't found anything indicating that yet, but according to the neighbors there were" he said
"and they didn't escape when the fire started?" he asked
"sir I'm not sure, apparently something like this happened years back, and two people died, maybe just like the first time they were able to escape, but so far, we are trying to find human ashes which we haven't, who are you sir?" the forensic asked
"I'm the prince of this kingdom sir, and a boyfriend to the girl thay lives here, she was pregnant with my baby" he said with a very sad tone
"I'm sorry to hear, let me have your number and I'll update you" the guy said
they exchanged numbers then he went back to ebuka and drove home.
his parents came in very happy since they passed by the scene too.
"Randy what happened?" the queen asked
"I don't know mom, I really don't knos" he broke down in tears
"Randy my son its not the end of the world, life goes on, pick yourself up and move on" the king said
Randy looked at him "you did it didn't you?" he asked his dad
"did what?" his father asked.
"father you are responsible for that Fire aren't you?" Randy asked again and this time very loud
"I just got back from my trip with my wife, how would I have done that?" He asked
"how did you do it the first time ?" Randy asked and his father slapped him
ebuka heard this conversation, he found out thay there was a fire at the same house and the king and queen was responsible for it, he immediately regretted helping him.
....
a month later yildiz and her mother were staying at the holiday house Mike borrowed them.
"mom I think I should use that money for a good course, how about we buy a small house and start over, I can look for a job" yildiz said
"but yildiz that's risky, let's just skip the border like your friends have been telling you to, please my child" her mother said
yildiz finally agreed, they told Mike to sell yildiz's mothers farm, he did and they used that money to relocate to another country, not far from their own. yildiz found a job within a month 9f their relocation.
.....
Randy hasn't been himself since the fire, it's been three months and now he's certain that yildiz and her mother were burned, the forensic guy didn't get back to him worh the update, he madebhis own conclusions. he had dreams of his child crying from help, when he tries to help he sees his father standing in between then with an axe, then he killed the baby with thay axe and every time he has that dream it feels like reality, he'd wake up sweating and crying, he hated his parents for killing his love and his child.
ebuka also wasn't fine, guilt was eating him up but he couldn't tell Randy, he wanted to quit but the king refused so he just has to face Randy everyday and console him knowing he's the responsible one for his pain, he wish he could have done something to save them before burning the house down.
"tie him down, guards, don't let him go out the yard looking like this" the queen yelled when he saw Randy half naked trying to leave the yard, he looked like an old man, with long beard, long hair, he hasn't bathed, he smells like sewage. the guards tied him and put him in an empty room at the back, they locked and took the key to the king.
"this is not how we planned the whole thing, look how our son has turned to a mad man because of a girl" the queen had tears
"we should have waited, you were stubnorn" the king said.
"oh really, so I'm the only 9ne to blame in this situation?" the queen asked
"I'm not saying that, I'm just saying we should have waited, I regret burning them, I honestly didn't expect him to react this way" the king said.
"you know I have a feeling they're not dead, I have this weird dreams everyday, I see them walking around the streets begging for help, I see the child, he looks like randy" he queen said
"it's guilt my wife, ebuka would not betray us" the king said
....
yildiz was finally able to buy a house, a three bedroom house, each bedroom had its own bathroom, a kitchen thays combined with dinning room, a storage, sitting room, double garage and a garden room, they found the house like that. she bought a car and bought shares in a big company that was selling, so she was back to normal.
her pregnancy bump was growing, she's 7 months now and refused to go on leave since she just got the job. her mother used the garden room to plant vegetables, they never buy, they were a happy family again but yildiz cried herself to sleep everyday, she wondered if Randy hated her thay much to even allow his parents to burn him, she had so many questions, if he knew about it or what, has he tried to call, it ate her and she cried whenever she thought about it.
yildiz was on her way to work one day, when a car stopped to offer her a lift, her work isn't far from her house do she walks, for exercise purposes.
"beautiful lady, my name is Sam, where are going?" the guy asked.
yildiz pointed at the firm with her head "oh thays where I'm going too, jump in" the guy offered
"no, I need this walk" she said and changed lanes, so the guy drove off very quickly to park the car and came back running just to walk back with yildiz.
"did you just park your car and come back to walk?" yildiz was laughing
"yes, anything for a beautiful lady like you" Sam said.
"I didn't ask you to" yildiz said
"but I want to talk to you, so this is what I'd to just to have a moment with you" Sam said
"oh, okay, what do you want to talk about?" yildiz
"let me take you out for dinner tonight" Sam said.
"I'm pregnant haven't you noticed?" yildiz asked
"I have, I'm sorry I should have asked if you're married or not, are you?" Sam asked
"no" yildiz
"good then give me your address, I'll pick you up for dinner later today" Sam said
"how about you tell me where you are taking me, I have my own car you know, I can drive there" yildiz said trying to sound full of herself just like Sam is.
"wow, an independent beautiful lady, I like it, but I'll still pick you up, you're heavily pregnant so you can't drive alone. 7 pm" Sam said
"and I haven't agreed to this dinner" yildiz said very impressed
"haven't you?" Sam stood in front of yildiz holding both her hands
"I haven't" she said.
"maybe this will make you agree" he kissed her, she didn't back away, after breaking the kiss she just smiled.
"so?" Sam asked..
"fine, give me number I'll text you my address" yildiz said.
when at work, they had a meeting, yildiz have been here for a few months so she doesn't know the important people of this company, in the meeting it to her attention thay Sam is the owner of this firm, he has 60 percent shares, he's a lawyer and very friendly, John has 20 percent, he's the one thats always in the firm, they call him boss, he's not friendly at all, and Sonia has 20 percent also, she's also not friendly but better than John, apparently the three are siblings, triplets, all lawyers, and Sam bought this firm and they joined him, there are other firms that they run together which Sam is the boss and Susan is the boss at.
after the meeting yildiz went to work, it was a normal day then later Sam drove her home to change, he came back again to pick her up for dinner, her mother was happy thay she's finally moving on, but wasn't sure if giving the guy their address was a smart move.
they have arrived to a very beautiful restaurant, it's classy their service is very good, you can just see by the people that the place is expensive, only to find out that Sam owns the place, yildiz wondered just how rich is this guy.
yildiz was in her flair short dress, she looked yummy, thicker than her normal thick and her yellow complexion complemented the caramel dress with white sandals.
"so tell me about you, I've already gathered a few things thiugh" yildiz said to Sam
he smiled, he has a beautiful smile, he's a very tall guy and us manly built.
"well you know my name, Sam, I'm 40 years, well turning 40 in three months, I'm a very simple guy man, there's nothing to tell" he said
"simple?, you're filthy rich, tell me about that" yildiz said and they laughed
"not filthy but I'm getting there, I just need a smart woman in my corner and I think I've found one, I own this restaurant, a gym and the three companies I own with my siblings." he said
"wow, thats very nice, so how come you are not the boss at the firm since you hold 60 percent?" yildiz asked
"thays our agreement, we are bosses where we least have shares, we don't want to get too attached to the employees and fail to make decisions about them one day" he said
"it makes sense, your brother John is hell of a boss, but I like how he conduct himself" they laughed about that.
"so who are you?" Sam asked
"I'm yildiz, 27 years, my sister and my father are no more so it's just me and my mother" yildiz said
"sorry to hear that, so where's your mom?" Sam asked
"she's staying with me" yildiz said
"well my brother told me you're from South Africa, how come you are here?" yildiz changed her expression "sorry I didn't mean to make you sad, I'm just curious" Sam said
"my home got burned, for the second time, well I was dating a prince, whom I'm pregnant for and his family wasn't supporting our relationship so they burned "us" in the house to stop the relationship contuining, they did that before, my sister was dating my baby daddy's cousin, and they burned us, mom and I survived, but dad unfortunately didn't, so he and her, she was heavily pregnant died" yildiz explained the whole story, Sam was very sorry.
"I'm sorry yildiz, wow this must be traumatic to you and your mother, how are you though?" Sam asked
"I'm trying to move on, the first month was a hell but I'm better now, what's left is the questions, why, how, so yeah but other than that I'm fine" she said
"so he doesn't know you're alive" he asked
"nop, even my best friend doesn't" yildiz said
"wow, but maybe there's a brighter side of this situation, we met" they smiled
"maybe" yildiz said.
"so how far are you?" he asked touching the bump
"7 months, I feel like I'm 12 years pregnant, I'm so tired" yildiz said
"I can imagine, Susan is also pregnant, just a few weeks though, her husband is already jotting down names for their baby" they laughed
"would you give us a chance if I asked you to?" Sam asked
"I would, but would you ask me to give us a chance knowing my story?" yildiz asked
"yes, I want to be the reason for your smile after the storm" Sam said
they ate and spoke about life.
"so how do you survive, I mean relocating and starting over?" Sam asked
"well I had shares that I sold, so I bought shares here, my mother sold her farm, and there was an amount that I got from taking care of a certain crippled guy, it can last me 3 years, so yeah" yildiz said
"where did you buy your shares?" Sam asked
"echo law firm, I bought 15 percent" yildiz said
Sam laughed "that's my dad's firm, he sold me 75 percent, I couldn't buy the whole 100 I was broke" Sam said
"wow, so we are partners?" she asked
"yes, but why did you want to he a silent owner, I mean... oh never mind, I got the answer, you're clever, you could have done law" sa said
"I actually wanted to be a police officer" they laughed about that.
"so the crippled guy you took care of is he prince?" Sam asked
"yes, but he's okay now" she said
"you really love him ey" Sam asked
"I did, I'm actually asking myself if he felt the same way" yildiz said
"I think he did, he just couldn't stop his parents from doing what they did" Sam said
"can we not talk about him, ever?"yildiz asked
"good, that's fine with me, so since you have met my parents, I think I should meet your mom too" Sam joked
"what? opponist" they laughed.
later Sam dropped yildiz off, she told her mother about him, it was fun, she even brought food from the fance restaurant.
