Tragic love

☆☆PROLOGUE☆☆

"Jane, don't tell me you're going to see Peter" i asked as i saw her dressing up.

"Yes," she nodded

"Jane! Why are you so stubborn!?" I almost shouted at her

"Common sis, why are you so against our relationship?" She rolled her eyes.

"Look at us! We are nothing compared to him.

You know those rich people are so evil.

What does he want with you?" I tried to make her see reasons.

"But you have Corey, don't you?

Isn't he wealthy?" She defended

"I have Corey,

Corey maltreats me, he disrespects me even in public.

I don't want that for you"

"Peter is nothing like that, sis.

He pampers me and takes good care of me." She smiled

"Which makes it more suspicious.

Haven't you wondered what he wants with you?

I've told you how I've caught this same Peter with different women on different occasions" i cried out

"Peter is wealthy like you said and good looking too.

Of course, women will be after him and try to get close to him." Jane wasn't ready to listen.

"Jane" i called helplessly

"Jamie please, let's drop this topic.

Peter said he has a surprise for me, i can't wait to go to him" She said happily, grabbing her small purse.

"You guys have only dated for like what...? Two weeks?

And he's already having surprises for you" i hissed

"I smell jealousy" she laughed and i just hissed again

"I'll see you later,sis

Muah" she blew me a kiss

"Just make sure you don't get home late.

You better be back here before 8pm" i warned

"Fine, 8pm i promise

You know i don't stay out late" she assured and hugged me before dashing out again. I frowned and sighed.

"Peter is not good for you, sis

He isn't" i said to myself helplessly. I just know that he's not a good person at all.

I sighed and started with the house chores, i swept and cleaned the house, then I proceeded to do laundry and washed Jane's clothes like we always do for each other.

When it was evening, i made dinner for the both of us and slept off.

When I woke up it was night, i looked up at the small wall clock and saw it was already 9pm.

What!!!! I jumped up immediately.

What the hell? Jane wasn't back. I'll kill that girl if she stays out late.

I called her number but it wasn't reachable. What fun could she be having that she made her switch off her phone?.

I waited with a frown until it was 11pm and i knew something was definitely wrong.

No matter what, it was a rule not to stay out late. Jane was naturally not the kind of person to stay out at night, she gets scared whenever it's late and she isn't home.

Sometimes if we go out together, she is always in a hurry to get back home once she sees the sky getting dark. She would pull and pester me to go home.

I was beginning to get worried, how do i find her?

I don't even know where she went with Peter. I just hope my sister is safe or I'll kill that bastard with my bare hands i swear.

I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Jane! Look at the time!.

Are you out of your mind?" I started shouting at her as i unlocked the door.

"Where did you....

Jane!" I shouted immediately she fell in my arms tiredly.

The beautiful floral dress she wore was stained with blood.

"What happened to you!

Jane! Talk to me" i held her and we both sat on the floor.

She cried weakly and endlessly in my arms

"What happened? Please talk to me" Tears started dropping from my eyes too, it was so hurtful to see her in that condition.

"He... he raped me" She said breathlessly, her voice was so weak.

"What!! Peter!!

Peter raped you!!!?" My eyes were wide open and tears streamed down my face.

"Peter did this to you!!" I yelled with rage and she nodded weakly.

"Jane, why did you allow this.?" I covered my face in my palm and cried with so much bitterness.

I then lifted my sister and broke my savings box that night.

Then i called a taxi and carried my sister to a hospital, i paid for the necessary things and made sure my sister was safe before storming out of the hospital.

I stopped a taxi and told the driver where i was going. I know the place that monster lives and I headed there.

The taxi stopped at a very huge mansion and i paid.

"I'm here to see Peter, in fact every resident of this house" I told the security men angrily and they exchanged glances.

"Do you have any appointments with them?" One of them asked.

"To hell with appointments.

I said i want to see the residents of this house, call them out now!" I shouted again

"I'm sorry madam, you can't.." one of them said

"Don't even dare to touch me!" I wiped his hands off in annoyance.

"What's going on there?" We heard a voice from the compound.

"It's nothing ma, we have it under control" the security men said and tried to chase me away.

"What do you mean it's nothing.

There is a problem and there will be more if you all don't come outside now!" I shouted at the top of my voice and a middle aged woman walked outside with her long silk gown sweeping the floor. She walked with so much pride and arrogance but that was not my business.

"Good day madam

I'm here to see your son" i said firmly

"Which of them? And who are you?" She asked, looking at me like a piece of dirt, but again, that wasn't my business.

"Your eldest son.

Peter! When he gets here you'll know who i am" i said holding in my anger

"What do you paupers want with my son for goodness sake?" She rolled her eyes tiredly.

"Excuse me?.... You know what? Forget it.

Just get me that bastard son of yours!" I really couldn't contain my anger, i just wanted to set my eyes on the animal

"What did you just call my son? Where do you think you are?" She changed her tone to an angry one but i couldn't care less.

Luckily for me, the demon walked out of the house with his junior brother Andrew behind him.

"You! You bloody rapist!

How dare you" i jumped at him and slapped him soundly, i grabbed his shirt in my palm and was about to send another slap when the security caught me and threw me back.

"Are you normal?

How dare you harass my son like this, in my house?

Are you crazy?" His mother shouted at me

"This bastard son of yours raped my sister.

He raped my twin sister!!" I yelled with tears

"Peter, do you know her?" She turned to him and he glanced at me holding the cheek I slapped hard.

"No mom, I'm just seeing her for the first time" He denied me.

"What! You don't know me!?

How dare you deny me!" I yelled and tried to pounce at him again but the security men stopped me.

I pulled off my left slippers and stoned it at him, the slippers met his head and he stumbled backwards.

"You had better calm your nerves this instant or you'll pass the night behind bars.

My son said he doesn't know you!" She shouted

"I don't care what you do to me.

How can you say you don't know me, Peter.

Andrew, what about you? You know me right?

Jane's sister, your brother's girlfriend" I said looking at Andrew and hoping with my heart that he would be my saving grace.

But Andrew looked away instead, not saying anything. And i felt weak instantly.

"You're being a nuisance young lady

Both of my sons don't know you.

What else do you want?" She shouted at me.

"Listen to me ma..." She shut me up

"Get her out of here!" She ordered the security men.

"Wait! Hold on!

Peter, i swear I'll make you pay for this.

I'll make you pay!" I yelled as the men dragged me away, i watched them turn and walk into their mansion.

I sat somewhere on the street and cried for hours, i warned Jane about this guy. I warned her.

I walked to the police station with just one leg of slippers but they barely even paid attention to me and when they heard the last name of who i was reporting, they disregarded me immediately.

I walked to the hospital still dragging my bare feet.

I didn't stop at that, i went there the next day to create another scene, i threatened them greatly, i made threats i knew i couldn't even do and destroyed their properties.

Sometimes i would wait at a corner and whenever i see his or his mother's car, i would rush at it and break the glass with huge stones then i would take to my heel.

All i wanted was a proper apology since the deed has been done, and also for him to take care of my sister.

And the next time i went again, i found out the house was empty. They left!

☆☆CHAPTER ONE☆☆

At Fountain Hospital, everything seemed so calm and peaceful that anyone would think nothing bad or sad happens here at all, the atmosphere was also cool, it was hard for the people at the reception to panic or pace around. But at ward 32, a lady around the age of twenty was laying on the hospital bed, screaming her heart out as the nurses kept urging

"push",

beside her was her twin sister who held her hand tightly and was also giving her words of encouragement

"You can do this, sis". It felt like a battle between life and death as the lady in labour knew that she might never make it alive but she had to fight for her child even if she doesn't survive.

She pushed harder, despite the great pain she felt, she wasn't willing to give up, her child must live.

"Push" the nurses urged again and she pushed with much strength and determination.

"Congratulations" the doctor heaved a sigh and wiped off the sweat on her forehead with the back of her palm, the nurses and her twin sister also sigh in relief as they had been at it for hours.

"Can i see?" The mother said weakly and her baby girl was handed over to her.

"She's so pretty" her twin sister said as tears already welled up in her eyes. She and her sister had been through so much in life and were inseparable, that was the reason her sister demanded that she must be with her when she's in labour.

The two sisters looked at the baby with so much joy in their eyes, one would think they both gave birth to the child.

Then the mother handed the baby over to her sister, she was so weak her hands were shaking.

"She's yours now, Jamie

Take care of her" her voice was so weak, the words came out as a whisper

"What do you mean?

Of course she's ours, and we'll take care of her together" Jamie argued but she only smiled sadly.

She then lifted her hand slowly to touch her baby one last time but she couldn't as her hand dropped lifelessly just when it was about to touch her child.

"Jane! Jane!

Did she pass out?" Her sister almost screamed her heart out.

"Calm down, go with the baby let the nurses clean her up.

Miss Jane would be fine" the doctor became alarmed and quickly tried to revive her.

"Come" one of the nurses pulled Jamie but she kept turning her head to look at her sister and tears dropped from her eyes when she saw that she wasn't moving and the heart monitor showed flat lines. Jane!!! She cried

*.*.*.*.*.*

The cry of the baby brought Jamie back to reality and she jumped from the bed to pick her up from her crib.

She has been loosing herself lately, sometimes she would have bad dreams and cry from her sleep, while sometimes she would just sit and lost herself in deep thoughts.

"Are you hungry, baby?

Huh? No don't cry, pretty girls shouldn't cry

You know i love you" she pet the baby and gave her lots of kisses which reduced the cry but the baby girl insisted that she was hungry.

"Alright, Alright" she chuckled

Luckily, she had already prepared a bottle for her, so she went to the kitchen to grab it and carefully fed her with smiles.

It's been a week since she lost her twin sister and it was really heartbreaking for her, she felt like half of her body and soul was gone. Her sister was the closest person to her in the whole world and she had passed out at the hospital when her sister was confirmed dead as she couldn't just take it.

But this baby was her strength, she knew she had to be strong for this innocent baby. Despite the fact that her birth brought her misery, it wasn't her fault and the little girl didn't beg to be born. For her sister, she had to take very good care of her baby.

Jamie had fed her little niece and was patting her back softly in order for the food to digest, then her phone started ringing. She carried the baby softly and went to the table to pick up her phone.

"Hey babe" the voice of her fiancé sounded through the phone.

"Hi" was the only thing she could say

"I'm finally back!" He said happily

"What!!" Jamie almost woke up the sleeping baby with her shout. She quickly went towards the calendar on the wall to check the date and almost slapped herself. How did she forget?

"Why do you seem so surprised?

Didn't you know I'll be returning today?

What has been going on with you lately?" He was a little upset as he doesn't understand what has been going on with his fiancée ever since he travelled a year ago.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Of course i knew you would be back today" Jamie tried to sound cool.

"Alright let's meet at our favourite restaurant

See you in an hour" he said and hung up

Jamie scratched her scalp in confusion, why did she forget he was coming today?

Now what was she going to do? How would she explain this to him?. Corey was hot tempered and he is very quick to conclude without even asking. He doesn't even know her sister was pregnant, how will she explain the situation to her hot tempered boyfriend? Will he even believe her when this child looks a lot like her?

She thought about it for a while, then decided that there's no two ways to go about it. She had to calmly explain the situation to him, however he reacts is his choice.

She carefully kept her niece in her crib again and quickly went to bath, she wore a jean and red top, then she also went to dress the baby up, she wrapped her in a cute pink blanket and carried her with smiles, she looked into the mirror and she knew anyone would be convinced this was a mother and her child but it made her smile more. She shoved her phone in her back pocket and locked the door to her apartment as she waited for a taxi.
