Breakfast

"Are you sure your pregnant ....it's seems more like starving "commented Ivana.

They where having breakfast in the morning with the whole family .

Rae's grandfather was seated at the head of the table next to him was Rae's mother then Ivana.

On the other side sat Rae with his wife and sister.

They had been eating in silence until Ivana commented on Alara's eating. She was eating half of everything on the table .

"She needs to eat enough so she has enough energy to grow the baby " said Rae's mother.

"Really mother , I don't see any signs of pregnancy. The only thing I see is her always eating "said Ivana.

"You have only been here a night , how many times have you seen her eat ?" asked Charlotte.

Ivana sighed .

"Well that doesn't matter , but look at her plate now . And please make up your mind on what to eat exactly instead of eating half of that and the this '

Alara had been quiet still eating , Rae moved wiping the corner of her mouth.

"Huh,!" Scoffed Ivana seeing them. "So now she is a baby too...can't she do that herself "

"No she can't , her hands are busy with the food . Can't you see it or your blind now " Charlotte retorted back .

"What is it with you ...are you her lawyer now ?" asked Ivana.

"What if I am " Charlotte glared back at her.

Someone cleared there throat silencing them , it was her grandfather.

Alara cut down on her sausage eating a piece . She was completely focused on her food .

"When are you leaving for work ?".

Rae heard this grandfather ask .

"After am done feeding my wife " he replied.

He chuckled, "Ivana was right ,all she does is eat ".

"Incase you forgot ...she is eating for two people " he pointed out.

"You can't expect her to act like a wife or a mother when all she has known her whole life is killing" Ivana muttered .

"Atleast she good at something , what are you good at ,Ivana ?" Charlotte asked .

Ivana ignored Charlotte comment and turned back to Alara.

"You might be the best killer in the underworld but that is all you are , a killer " Ivana spat out.

Alara stayed silent finishing her sausages.

"A killer can't be a wife much less a mother. So why don't you make things easier for me and disappear. Rae will never marry you and your baby can't be raised by a killer like you ". she added blinking.

A sound of a seat moving was heard ,then she felt a gush of wind blinking but then gasped .

Alara had her table knife down on her neck , the coldness of both the steel on her neck and look in her eyes sent shivers down her spine.

It wasn't a sharp knife but she was an assassin ,she could turn anything in a weapon. And her feet pushing her seat back ,with Alara's other hand supporting it . If she let go ,Ivana would fall.

"Love put the knife down " Rae said to Alara.

Ivana gulped still staring into the cold blood thirsty eyes of Alara looking down at her.

She didn't seem to want to move, Rae stood up and walked to where she was gently took her hand from Ivana's neck , "Come on , let's get you some cake " he said to Alara.

Alara blinked ,her eyes turning soft as she dropped the knife on the table and let go of her chair and followed Rae off to the kitchen.

Ivana gulped ,fixing her hair as she took a deep breath .

Charlotte chuckled ,while her grandfather and mother still looked shocked at what had happened.

"Next time think twice before you provoke her " she said leaving the table.

"That is the woman you want for your son ?" Rae's mother heard her father in law ask.

She sighed.

"Father , Alara is Rae's choice and me as his mother only have to support his decision. If she isn't good for him ,he needs to see it himself for even if you tell him he won't see it . I want my son to be happy ,normal and if he is with her ..then I will do everything to keep it that way ".

She too left the table after saying her piece .

"How ...d.idid she mo..move so fast ?" She stammered

The grandfather sighed , "Don't just say things without thinking , remember who she is " he muttered .

....

Rae watched Alara finish her cake then passed her a glass of milk.

"Love , do you want to go with me" he asked.

"Huh...to where ?'".

"To work ...I don't want you to spend the day here with them . I don't trust any of them " he said.

"Don't worry I will be fine. Am always upstairs and the maids feed me on time " she smiled.

He breathed.

He wasn't worried about them but her. If she really did lose it and kill Ivana then it would be bad for them.

"Maybe I should stay here ,work from home " he said.

"No , am fine go or you will be late ?" She turned him to the door .

But it opened and Ivana walked in.

"Rae , grandfather wants me to go with you to the company. Since I will be staying here for awhile ,I can offer my help there " she said.

"Huh?!" Alara jumped out from behind Rae.

Ivana flinched back in fear thinking she was attacking her.

"Don't worry I won't attack you again but I can't agree to that request " she said.

"It's not a request , grandfather instructed me to go with him " replied Ivana.

She turned to Rae pouting but he shrugged.

"I can't say no to that love, am sorry . But it can work out if you accept to come with me " he smiled.

Alara sighed , she didn't want to be seen in public with him . Since it meant she would be under the public scrutiny.

And her having a dark background was worried it being found out.

"Okay "she agreed.

Yes she was afaird but she didn't trust Ivana or her grandfather at all. They had made it clear that they wanted her gone.
