CHAPTER 43

Amidst the chaos which Ima has

caused after kidnapping Shulamite's

daughter, the movie which Chris

starred in hit the cinemas, and

many people were going crazy

about the movie. Some fans do

not even care about the storyline

of the movie as all they cared about

was to see the parts that Chris

acted. Before the movie was

released, there was so much

publicity about it that people

couldn't wait for the movie to hit

the cinemas, and immediately they

heard that it has, people bought

tickets and were asking for more

tickets because the tickets were

sold out.

Chris was very happy while reading

reviews and comments of the movie

as for almost the first time in a long

forever, she received good comments

instead of criticisms. Her song was

also trending and more jobs were

pouring in. Even though Chris got

many endorsements, she only

accepted a few of them because of

her pregnancy. Despite the fact that

there was a rumor about Chris being

pregnant some time ago, many

people did not take it seriously

because Chris has always been an

ambitious person and she has

always said in interviews that she is

not ready to get married or have

children and even if she gets married,

she doesn't think she can have kids

because she hates disturbances,

especially the ones from children.

In the last interview which Chris

gave, most of the reporters were

not asking about her role in the movie

rather most of them wanted the juicy

gossip of her pregnancy rumors.

One of the reporters from 'Daily Life

Papers', asked Chris a question

"recently, there were rumors about

you being pregnant as there were

also pictures and videos of you and

Doja, the most eligible bachelor in

town and also the CEO of Starstruck

at the maternity ward in a hospital.

My question is this "is it true that

you are pregnant, and if the answer

is no, what were the two of you doing

at a maternity ward in a hospital?"

Chris smiled at the reporter before

replying "what I go to do in the

hospital is supposed to be kept

confidential but someone who

wouldn't let sleeping dogs lie

decided to make videos and take

pictures for their social media handle.

I was there to visit someone who

has just given birth and I met Doja

there because the person is a mutual

friend. That little explanation which

Chris has just given felt like it opened

the door for reporters to ask more

questions and pry into her private

affairs but her manager was quick

to stop them by reminding them

of why they are here.

Chris came back to reality when she

heard her doorbell ring and she

knew that it was Doja because she

called him a while ago as she was

scared to stay in the house alone.

She walked up to the door and opened

it to let him in before he starts acting

crazy outside. After Chris opened the

door and Doja came in, he looked

around and said, "where are your

bags? I thought you called me because

you wanted to come and stay with

me? I do not want to believe that

you will imagine that I will come and

live in your house when mine is more

spacious and safer. Don't worry I will

help you pack if you're feeling tired."

 Chris frowned and said, "I should

have known that you will do this

when I called you. Wouldn't it have

been better if I had stayed alone in

my house than calling you to come

and keep me company?" Doja laughed

and walked up to her and raised her

chin before planting a kiss on her lips.

"You and I know very well that Ima's

next target is one of us. The girl is

very crazy right now and can do

anything. Nobody can predict what

Ima will do in the next few hours so

why don't you come with me to my

place where it is safer and bigger.

Over there, you will have space and

security and you will also have me."

She rolled her eyes at him as she said

"have you my foot. Did I tell you that I

want to have you in the first place?" 

He held Chris's hand as they both

left the apartment and walked

downstairs before driving away in

his car. She knew that someone

will be here to pick up her things for

her so she didn't bother whining

when they left without picking up

any of her things. When they got to

Doja's house, Chris couldn't believe

that he lives here alone. The building

was enormous and there was more

than enough space both in and

outside the house. As she was

walking into the house, she said to

herself "tell me why this guy will not

be so perverted? With a place like

this, you will have more than enough

time to think and even turn yourself

into the Devil's workshop because

your mind will be idle." She laughed

at herself when the realization

dawned on her that she is pregnant

for this man yet she doesn't

know his house.

Doja walked up to her and said "I

hope I did not disappoint you? Does

the house meet your expectation

or is it below your standard? If you

don't like this one I can always take

you to another one." Chris ignored

him and was typing into her phone

until he shook her arm and she said

"well, it's manageable. In situations

like this, one can't really complain or

choose. As long as it's a place where

I can lay my head, I will manage it."

While she was saying that, a smile

appeared on her face because she

knows that left to her, she wouldn't

leave this house anymore because

she loves it. She began to walk

away when Doja said "you are so

pretentious that sometimes I fear

for our children's traits because the

last thing I want is a child who will

be as pretentious as you because

I won't know how to manage both

of you at the same time." 

He ran after Chris and carried her

into his bedroom. "This is where you

and I will stay henceforth. I have

told you before that I want to make

you my wife but you are so

headstrong that you don't want to

marry me. What will you gain if you

end up marrying me five years from

now? You will only look back and

regret it. Chris I am begging you to

just give me a chance please." He

held her hands and kissed them

before landing his mouth on hers

as they began to kiss and Chris

wrapped her hands around his

neck. While kissing her, he carried

her to the bed and laid her there

and as the kiss got more intense,

their clothes began to fly around the

room. Doja kissed all over her body

and kissed her leg down because

he has always been intrigued by

Chris's long legs and merely seeing

them alone, turns him on. That's

one of the reasons why he hates

seeing her on the runway in clothes

that exposes parts of her body and

her legs inclusive because he knows

that he is not the only one who is

being turned on by those legs. The

first night that they met at the bar,

the first thing that he took note of,

were those legs and he could

imagine them wrapped around his

waist while he plunged into her.

When he finally got his chance to

have sex with her that night, that

was exactly one of the things he did

and he did not regret it. But since

the day that he wrapped those legs

around his waist and really plunged

into her, he has not been able to let

go because she has been like a

drug to which he is now addicted.

They made love for hours and this

makes it the first time that Chris

willingly made love to him without

trying to make a scene in the

beginning or pushing him off

while he was still making love to

her. Tonight was different and it

made him wonder what changed

in her and even at a point, she even

took the reins from him with the

cowgirl style as she rode him for

a while and he was wondering if

she was really pregnant because

he felt that a pregnant woman

shouldn't have this kind of strength

and last this long while having sex.

Chris lost herself in his arms that

night as all she wanted to do was

let go and enjoy this night with him.

They made love to the point that

she even went as far as taking his

cock in her mouth and really

pleasing him until he couldn't

hold it in anymore and he shot out

his sperm on her face. They

satisfied each other that night and

by the time they went to bed, they

each had a satisfied look on their

faces and Doja smiled to himself

as he held Chris in his arms and

couldn't believe that she could

pleasure him willingly without him

making her do it.

Ima's parents and Doja's father

contacted Doja and explained

everything to him. They made him

understand that their daughter

never got over him and she felt

that she was betrayed by them

because they did not push for him

to marry her rather they let him

break up with her willingly and now

he is with another woman. They had

a plan in which they wanted Doja to

join in so that they can save the life

of Rachel if it works. When Doja

heard all about Ima's infatuation

with him, he was surprised and asked

her parents "why did you ignore all

these signs which she has been

showing? You knew about her

mental health and infatuation but

you trusted your daughter so much

that you felt that she will just come

out of it very soon. I guess you

never truly knew who your daughter

was because if you did, you would

have known that she will take her

anger out on everyone including

you. I don't care whether she is in

her right senses or not, if she tries

coming near me or Chris I promise

you that I will not let her go as I will

do everything to protect me and my

family. Chris is all that I have and I

will give my life for her if the situation

calls for it. I am only preparing your

minds that if Ima escapes again and

comes after my family, I will not let

her go. Right now, I am willing to

cooperate with you and send this

message and let's hope that she

gets the message and changes

her mind." 

Before Doja left the house that

morning, he explained to Chris that

Ima's family and his father will like to

have a word with him and he doesn't

know what they want from him but

when he gets there, he will update

her. Doja does not want to leave

Chris in the dark to avoid unnecessary

 misunderstandings. So after their

conversation, he called Chris on her

mobile phone and told her that they

want him to send a message to Ima,

telling her that he still loves her and

if she can let go of Rachel and come

to him he will get married to her

immediately. Although the idea did

not sit well with Chris, she has to

accept it because she could imagine

what Shulamite is going through

right now. Even her, whose babies

are still in the womb and she has

not seen them physically, she already

loves them and is willing to protect

them at any cost let alone a nine year

old. She knew that Shulamite must

be devastated by now and the little

girl who Ima has kidnapped also,

must be scared thinking that every

minute will be her last.

Doja recorded a message both for

the radio and television and in that

message he said "Ima, I am very

sorry for everything that I did.

Instead of trying to hurt that little girl,

you should have come to me because

I started thinking about you recently

and I have come to realize that there

is only one woman for me and that

woman is you. I came to your house

yesterday to look for you and nobody

knew where you had gone and I

decided to wait so that when you

come, I will apologize to you and beg

you to come back with me so that

we can get married but it surprised

me when I saw it on the news that

you have kidnapped Shulamite's

daughter. My love, if you are listening

to my voice right now, I want you to

let go of that child as it will make no

sense if you hurt her. If any harm

comes to that child, you will go to

jail and then you will lose me. Why

not let the child go and prove to

Shulamite that you still won in the

end because you were the one who

got me to marry you despite all their

plots to keep us apart. Darling, I

promise you that if you let go of

that child and come to me now, you

and I will get married today and I will

commit myself fully to you without

looking at other women. You still

have time to abandon that mission

as nobody can file any concrete

lawsuits against you because you

only took the child but did not hurt

her. Please come back to me, I

love you."

Ima didn't take Rachel out of the

city, rather she was closer than they

could imagine. She rented an

apartment from a guy for three days

and she paid a lot in cash for the

apartment because it was an illegal

deal. She tied up Rachel as the girl

was crying and terrified. She told

Rachel that her mother had offended

her and Rachel will pay for her mother's

offenses because she will kill Rachel

so that her mother will feel the pain

of losing something important. Poor

Rachel was shaken where she was

because she has never been kidnapped

in her life. She looked at the aunty

who took her and was begging her

to please let her go because she has

just found her father and she knows

that everyone will be blaming her

father for losing her. She told Emma

"auntie, my mum is very sorry that

was why she quit modeling because

she knew that she has done many

bad things to hurt people. I have

heard her mention your name to

my grandma before and she told my

grandma that if only she could see

you, she will apologize to you because

she feels sorry for what she did to

you. "while Rachel was talking, Ima

got a gag and gagged her as she

said, "you talk too much and I don't

like children that talk." After gagging

Rachel,  Ima heard Doja's voice and

she thought she was imagining until

she looked at the television and her

eyes became glued to the screen.
