New Madam

    I felt like crying right then and there, my mother understood me better than anyone else.

  "So you are saying, I am not doing the wrong thing"

  I asked confused,

"What? No! Of Course you are not. I love you both. If you two can find happiness I am happy for you. Just promise me one thing"

I nodded and mum took my hands.

"Promise me that no matter what, you're gonna finish together. You got that? 

  I nodded even though I am not sure if it is possible with that lady in the living room. 

   As if she read my mind, she said,

"I know we make mistakes and we are meant to learn from them. I am not insinuating anything and I don't know who the lady is or what she is doing here or what brought her here or even if she is actually pregnant. When we are close to our happiness, one thing or the other comes in between and add a little sadness. You might not have fought for Zain because he got entangled with your sister but you can do that now only if Zain is willingly to stay with you." 

  "So what are you saying, Mom?"

I asked confused again,

"I am saying that you don't let that lady intimidate you. Fight for what is yours unless Zain doesn't want you. I know you to be a very wise girl"

She smiled and hugged me,

"And whatever that is going on between you and Tasha, you both should find a way around it."

  She patted my back, pulled away and pinched my nose then left Zain's room.

  Zain's point of view......

   I has no idea how I was going to tackle the issue I am facing right now. Why would Lizzy want to be a devil. She and I know that there is no way she can be pregnant for me when we never did anything.

  I stood in front of her glaring down at her as she continued to smirk. I am sure she is enjoying the while thing. Who knows if she got paid to do this.

   "Lizzy,you can't stay here. I don't want you to inconvenience my girlfriend"

I bluntly said and she looked at me shock,

"I thought your wife just died? how come you already have a girlfriend?"

  She asked. Her questions sounded more like an accusation. 

   "I don't think my life has anything to do with you so you better leave"

I said sternly and she stood up and sized me up.

  "I don't care what you think but for you to think I will take my pregnancy somewhere else you lie because you are the father and I don't want my child to be without a father. You are not married, she is just your girlfriend and I am someone who is carrying your child, who will you choose ? The answer is clear, you will choose me" 

She said in a challenging tone leaving me standing there looking dumbfounded.

I took a deep sigh and smiled at her, 

   "I just keep wondering why you think the baby is mine. Your audacity is inspiring"

  I paused and took some few steps back,

   "I don't need to worry for so long, I just have to wait until we can run a DNA test then you will leave me alone but for now, go back to where came from"

  She chuckled viciously,

"If I were you, I will hold on to this pregnancy because if I leave here I am terminating which might leave you without a child for the rest of your life"

She said grinning maliciously 

  I was taken back by the last statement. What does she mean by that? 

  "I don't care what you mean by that. I am.."

"You are just saying nothing. I can only leave when you confirm the pregnancy is not yours but for now, I am the new madam. Take it or leave it"

she said and sat back on the couch then started toying with her phone.

  I just stood there staring at her, not knowing what to do. Is she really that serious about what she is saying? Like she is staying? What happened to her threat of leaving a while ago?

  "Stop staring and go get useful, my baby and I are hungry"

She muttered carelessly.

  It's not that I can't even push out but what if the baby is really mine? What if we actually did something that night?

  I shook off the thought. I could not believe I was doubting my sanity.

  I glanced at her and left the living room heading to my room.
