Chapter 53
I got down from the car and ran to hug Darrell. The fire service were busy trying to put off the fire.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Daisy are you okay”
“I’m fine”
“Oh my God! You had me worried. Where did you learn how to shoot like that”
I chuckled, “My dad thought me the basics, I learnt the rest myself as a teenager”
“I guess they are a lot of things I don’t know about you”
“Actually, I guess they are a lot of things I don’t know about myself. It made me wonder if maybe I had the same courage maybe I wouldn’t have gotten raped”
“Everything happens for a reason. If probably those things didn’t happen to you, we probably wouldn’t have met”
“I guess you are right”
“Hey Claire. I just wanna say thank you for saving both our lives” Daniela hugged me and I smiled.
“Wow Claire. That was awesome, maybe you can try showing me some of those skills” Asher with his hands wrapped around Daniela’s waist and I laughed.
“Maybe”
“All the same, I’m glad you guys are Okay”
“You wouldn’t believe that bastard actually set a bomb in our car”
“What? he did”
“Yeah”
“I’m gonna take care of him myself, he won’t know what hit him”
“Come on Daisy. Let’s go to the hospital, I need to make sure that shit didn’t affect the baby”
“I’m fine Darrell”
“I insist”
“Uhmm, Darrell. Tasha will be coming over today” Asher said.
“Oh okay”
“Who’s Tasha”
“Lee’s sister”
“And the only reasonable member of their family” Darrell added.
“So she’s good”
“Yeah and she’s married”
“Wow, I would love to meet her”
“But first I need to get you to the hospital”
“OK sir” I said and he chuckled.
“I’m driving” I told him.
“No way, I’m driving” he winked taking the keys from me. He got into the driver’s seat and said, “Get in”
“See you guys later” I told them and got into the car.
“Bye” they waved as Darrell drove off.
“Do you know Zach has a crush” What?
“He does”
“And they even kissed”
“What? tell me you’re joking. Wait a minute you allowed that? Zach is just seven and he’s way too young to start kissing girls and even having a crush”
He chuckled, ” They didn’t kiss though, it was just a peck. At what age what age did you have your first crush”
“Don’t try to turn the tables on me” I yelled a bit.
“Gosh, you’re starting to have mood swings”
“Are you complaining now? You got me pregnant remember”
“Like you didn’t enjoy the sex. You were the one moaning for me not to stop” he smirked and I felt my cheeks turn red.
“I can’t believe you right now”
“We both know, I’m telling the truth” he chuckled.
“Shut up and drive”
“Yes ma’am”

“Miss Claire Willows” I sighed as I heard my name.
“That’s us, let’s go in”
“Actually it’s me only. I didn’t hear your name being called. You are not pregnant or are you” I rolled my eyes.
“I don’t care. I’m still going with you”
“Darrell it’s just an ultrasound test. You don’t need to come along”
“Of course, I do”
“You really don’t take no for an answer”
“You know I don’t” he smirked and pecked me on the lips.
“Fine, come along” I smiled softly as we both walked into the room.
“Hi, I’m Doctor Steven”
“Why does it have to be a male” he whispered and I chuckled. Jealous freak
“Darrell Bingwen” they both exchanged handshake.
“Nice to finally meet you. I’ve heard so much about you”
“Great”
“Miss Claire please lie on the bed” he said and I did. I had to raise my crop top up a bit.
“You have a baby bump already”
“Uhm yeah. It’s almost invisible”
“I have to rub this gel on your stomach first. Is that okay by you”
“No. I think I will do it myself” Darrell said and the doctor gave him the gel.
“Darrell…”
“What, you don’t expect me to let him touch you in places I’m supposed to be touching you” Is he serious?
“Like you are gonna follow me into the labor room”
“If I have to, yes and it has to be a female doctor taking the delivery”
“You are not only a pervert but a jealous freak”
He chuckled and opened the gel and rubbed it on my stomach.
The doctor applied some gel to transducer probe of the ultrasound machine and put it on my stomach.
An image appeared and I was surprised to see three embryos. What the fuck!
“You are actually carrying dichorionic triamniotic triplets”
“What the fuck! How did I get pregnant with triplets”
Darrell chuckled, “How did we have sex” he teased and I hit his shoulders.
“Ouch, that hurts”
“How come that embryo is smaller and the other two are bigger”
“It’s actually superficial and it recently got implanted. About two weeks old, the remaining two are six weeks old”
“So you mean I got pregnant when I was pregnant” Oh God, remind me to kill Darrell for adding one more baby to it.
There’s is no way I’m gonna let him fuck me again. He might end up adding more till I give birth to a battalion.
That’s not even possible with Darrell, he will definitely seduce me and still have his way with me.
“Yes and you are due for anti-natal. You see those two bigger embryos may have a problem. Twin twin transfusion is very possible because of the shared placenta. That is one baby may tend to absorb nutrients from the other thus making the recipient baby bigger and the donor baby smaller”
“Can it be treated” Darrell asked.
“Of course, that’s the more reason you have to have a regular anti-natal. For now they is no transfusion between them cause they are almost the same size but if in case they tend to have a transfusion a laser fetal surgery will be needed to separate the placentas”
“It’s gonna be fine” Darrell kissed my forehead and I smiled softly
“It’s under probability right”
“Yes, no need to fear. Your babies are gonna be fine”
“Thanks doc”
SHANE’S POV
How can this be? I guess I over estimated those two. I can’t loose to you, I can’t loose to you Darrell. I’m gonna end you all.
“Dad what did you do? you tried to kill Claire. I thought I told you I wanted her”
“Wake up Lee, she doesn’t want you. She’s on Darrell’s side and that makes her our enemy. She made us loose everything remember, she needs to die along with her useless fiance Darrell”
“You don’t get it dad. I love her and I don’t care if you think of her as the enemy. Just take her off your target, she’s totally off limits”
“Can’t you see Lee? The girl in question doesn’t love you and she wouldn’t think twice of killing you if she has the chance”
“I don’t care, I’m still gonna make her mine. I don’t mind wiping her memory to do that”
“She’s pregnant for Darrell. Are you that stupid? You want to father Darrell’s child? That scumbag”
“I will find a way around it…”
“Can you listen to yourself? I didn’t raise you to be a fool”
“Dad” I heard that soft voice call. Only one person has that voice, someone I haven’t seen in a year now. I had to give her out in marriage when she was twenty one cause she was being so much of bother to me.
“Tasha? When did you get back from Italy” I asked and Lee scoffed. They both don’t like each other, always fighting and quarreling.
That’s actually because Tasha has always been on Darrell’s side. Who supports their Father’s enemy? One of the reasons why I had to marry her out.
“About two hours ago. Hey, brother, nice to see you again” She smiled.
“Don’t try to talk to me? You know I don’t like you. Why don’t you go meet your favorite cousin first”
“That’s right, dad what is the this I’m hearing” She brought out her phone and showed me the news about Claire.
“What made you think I did it”
“I know you too well dad. If you didn’t do it, then who? What where you thinking? Do you think Darrell will not retaliate”
“I don’t care. I am your father and you should be on my side and not Darrell’s”
“I am not taking sides dad. I’m just been truthful, you went too far this time. Don’t you think it’s high time you ended this beef with Darrell”
“You are in no position to tell me that. Now get inside or leave my house”
“Like I don’t have mine. I actually came here to supervise the opening of my boutique’s new branch here in Singapore” she smiled proudly.
“You own a boutique”
“Yeah, Tasha’s posh boutique. Nice name huh? Xander actually opened it for me and we both came together actually but he had some important business to take care of”
“Xander? I thought…”
“Yeah, Dad. I know the reason you gave me out to Xander was actually to make me suffer because you knew he was a violent man. You thought I was gonna suffer from domestic violence but I was able to tame him and I’m happy in my marriage. We both love eachother now, so thank you dad for marrying me to Xander” she smiled and that only annoyed me.
“And to you Lee, better repent now before it’s too late”
“I see you are still as bitchy as bitchy before. You really didn’t change these past three years, I wonder how Xander is able to live with a slut like you”
“Lee, you don’t speak to your eldest sister that way” I cautioned. Basically, she’s just older to Lee with about three months.
“You called me a slut both of us know you are the man whore. Anyways wanting to snatch what doesn’t belong to you. You did same to Zasha, fucked her and dumped her now you wanna do same to Claire. Asher told me everything, you are still as slutty as before and I don’t think any woman in her right senses will wanna marry you!” she yelled back.
“How dare you” Lee proceeded to slap her when…
“You wanna slap my wife? How dare you” the voice sounded hoarse with anger laced in it.
“Xander”
