The men removed the bag they used to cover Giselle’s face with it. Giselle looked round her surrounding and could see only two men standing in front of her. What did she do?

The door swung open and a man walked in. He was wearing a mask that had a shape of a cheetah.

“Boss, here’s the lady” The two men said to the masked man.

Their boss looked down at Giselle for a while before squatting down in front of her.

“Welcome to my humble workplace. The greatest drug lord of all time” The man said.

Giselle just looked at him in fear. She has heard alot about him but no one has seen his face except his men. He is the one behind the mass killing of the women but no one knows his motive for such. He is very cruel, despicable just name it….

The masked man raised his hand and then caressed her cheek which made Giselle shiver in fear.

He leaned closer and brushed his lips against her ear.

“Tell me, dont you wanna be a member of this awesome gang. Money isn’t a problem to me. I just want a favor from you” The mask man whispered to her..

“What’s that?” Giselle asked.

One of his men walked closer and handed a picture to him. He took it and then showed it to Giselle.

“I need you to monitor the moves of this girl. Watch her like a hawk” He said.

Giselle’s eyes widened as she saw it was sapphire’s picture. What do these men want from Sapphire.

But on the other hand there’s money. This man has a lot of money she could sense it.

Giselle thought for awhile and then nodded…

“Good” The masked man smiled. He knew she will accept. Girls like her are what they call back stabbers.

He stood up and turned to his men.

“Untie her and let her go” He said and began walking out of the room. He suddenly halted and turned back to her.

“Mind you if you dare betray me, I won’t spare you” He said and walked out of the room.

Derek stared at the papers in confusion. What does all these mean? Does she really want a divorce? She really still love Louis?

Derek folded the papers and kept it in his pocket before walking out of her room closing the door behind.

“Just a little bit more ma’am you can do it” Sapphire said.

The woman nodded as tears fell from her eyes. She folded her fist and pushed.

A baby cry could be heard….

“Congratulations ma’am, it’s a boy” Sapphire said and handed the baby to the nurses for them to clean him.

“Thanks so much doc” The woman said breathing heavily.

“No probs, just rest well and take good care of your son” Sapphire said and smiled then removed the gloves and head scarf she was wearing.

She sanitized her hand before walking out of the room, heading to ger office. She walked in and sighed then sat down on her chair and picked up her phone.

A thought crossed her mind and she decided to call Derek. Well, she kinda missed him a lot. She dialed his number….

Strangely, he wasn’t picking up. Sapphire hung up.

“Maybe he’s at a meeting or something” She said and stood up then walked out of her office…

“Where’s Sapphire” Fabian asked to Emile.

“She’s in there” Emile replied, pointing at the hospital.

“So any attacks so far on her?” Fabian asked.

“Stranger no, this is really suspicious. I know they know that Sapphire is their suspect but why aren’t they attacking her” Emile thought out loud.

Fabian smirked…

“You know who Sapphire is right? I’m not sure anyone in their right sense will dare attack her right now but I’m not so sure about that in the future” Fabian replied.

“Yeah you’re right, for now we have nothing to worry about but we still need to keep a close watch on her” Emile said.

Fabian nodded…

“And you. Dont you think its high time to let her know?” He asked.

“Well I’m not so sure, let’s wait for some while” Emile replied.

“Okay, I’ll leave for work now before Derek starts questioning me ” Fabian said and began walking away.

He decided to pass through a narrow alley. Suddenly out if nowhere, two men appeared in front of him. They were armed.

Fabian halted with his hands in his pocket. He stared at them boringly….

“What do you want? Did he send you guys to ki*ll me?” Fabian asked mockingly…

The men ignored him and then one launched at him. He made to stab Fabian but he dodged it. He held the man’s hand and then elbowed his on the back then hit his neck. He fell down unconscious.

With a swift movement, he removed the gun he had on him and pointed it at the other man. The other man did the same….

He knows they’re not here to ki*ll him. Probably to find out something since they think that he’s Sapphire father…

“Go back and tell to that boss of yours that the person that is capable enough to ki*ll me is no yet born.” Fabian said.

The man slowly began talking steps backwards. He turned and ran away. Fabian kept back his gun and looked back at the young man laying on the ground.

“Kids of today” He mumbled and continued his road….

Later***

Sapphire stepped her foot into the house. Today was super tiring for her and most confusing thing is that Derek wasn’t picking any of her calls.

She went upstairs to take a shower. She then heard a sound of car signalling that Derek was back.

That made her quickly wear her dress as she was kinda excited to see him. He really got her worried like sick.

Sapphire the walked out of her room and headed downstairs. Their gaze locked as Derek was just entering the house. His gaze hardened and he walked in further.

“Good evening Derek” Sapphire said.

“Thanks” He replied coldly and placed his suitcase on the couch…

Sapphire folded her arms on her chest…

“You got me worried sick you know, why were you ignoring my calls” Sapphire asked and pouted.

“We need to talk” Derek said calmly which made Sapphire begin to worry…

He brought out the paper from his pocket and gave it to her. Sapphire’s heart skipped a beat as she saw the divorce papers she’s been keeping…

“Tell me Sapphire, I’m I that bad that you can’t give this marriage a second chance?” Derek asked. She could distinguish sadness from his voice….

“Sapphire, do you still love my brother. I need an honest answer here. If you still love him tell me and I’ll sign those papers right here and right now” Derek added again.

Sapphire looked at the paper in pure confusion. What kind of dilemma is she in to….
