They then quickly had their breakfast, just when Liam was about to stand up and get ready to head out to work, Ciara’s phone rang.

They both looked at each, then at the phone but when Liam saw the caller’s name he stood up to give Ciara space.

” Mom”

Ciara answered her phone then put the call on loud speaker.

” Are you happy now, Ciara. You even dare to call her your mom when you have just poisoned her. If you were so determined to kill the family why play games, just do it directly.”

The angry voice of her father came out from the other side of the of the phone.

” Dad, what do you mean poison? You guys were perfectly fine when I left yesterday. “

” who are you fooling, your mom tasted salt in that bottled water you gave to Wilson. “

” Wilson? But..”

Bip Bip bip

Just like that her father had ended the call without her explaining herself.

” Hey don’t be sad, everything is going to be fine. We are working on replaceing the antidote, we should have enough time to save everyone. “

Ciara looked down with tears forming in her eyes.

” well I was expecting this, he did say that everyone I care for will suffer the exact same ordeal as my Pa. “

” Wilson will pay for everything he’s done, he really messed with the wrong guy. I’ll be back in two hours, take care of yourself and don’t make any rash decisions OK. “

He then pulled her closer to him, they shared a sweet, passionate k**s for a while. He then grabbed his work case and left for work.

Ciara cleared the table and put all the dishes in the kitchen sink, Ms Nicky will clean up the place when she gets there in less than 2 hours from now.

She rushed upstairs took a small weekend bag and in the bottom layer of the bag she packed the money she had withdrawn the previous day then on top of that she packed up a few clothes that can at least last her a week and some cosmetics.

She then took out her unbranded hand bag and packed up her wallet with only a few thousand bucks in it, and a few essentials.

She went to Liam’s study room and got herself a pen and paper and started writing something on that page. Once she was done she took the piece of paper back to her bedroom and placed it on the bedside table. She took out the black and rose gold rings she had purchased, looked at them bitterly, she wore her matching band and left the small black square box with Liam’s ring on top of her letter.

She touched her watch as if contemplating if she should take it off or not, but in the end she decided to continue wearing it.

She looked around for some time and then when it was time for her leave, she took a deep breath and headed out.

A cab was already waiting for her when she got out.

Lucky for her the cab driver was an old man and wasn’t much of a conversationalist, so after their greetings and confirmation of her destination, their 45 minutes drive was peaceful and quiet.

She had calculated that by the time she reach that neighboring city Liam would probably still in the dark with what was happening.

When they arrived she paid the driver and walked in to a luxe watch store where asked them to remove the tracking device in her watch while she sent a text to wilson.

  • *It’s done, hope you are happy now. Stay away from my family and make sure they are alive. **

She then switched her phone off and left it on the counter.

In no time they were done with her watch, after she had paid for it she took her things except for the phone and took another taxi which headed to the airport and flew to Port Elizabeth which was about 15 hours from her city by bus, but only 90 minutes by plane.

As the airplane took off, she watched all the places she knew well and now was leaving it all behind. Her friends, family, work and whole life was there and she’s turning her back on it all just to save her loved ones.

Her line of thoughts were disturbed by the a hostess as she offered her a snack, but Ciara was in no mood to eat anything.

All she wanted was to nestle in the arms of the man she left behind.

Soon they were preparing to land, then they disembarked the plane. She was now in a new province and new city, she knew no one in that place and was about to start her new life all alone.

She walked out of the airport with her bags in tow, it took her some time before she could get a taxi and headed to a guest house where she booked her stay for a week.

After paying for the taxi, she went in and did the whole check-in process and got her room number and then she headed there. Once she walked, she was greeted by the smell of guava which she found very pungent to her as she gagged and rushed to the bathroom and vomited all her stomach out.

” weird.”

She got up and rinsed her mouth then opened all the windows and also got rid of the guavas.

Not in the mood to go out for lunch she ordered in her meal which was her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs with potatoes and some veggies. Once her food arrived she opened it with the intention of gobbling it all down but as soon as she saw the pork ribs she started gagging once again which frustrated her because that was her favorite thing to eat in the entire universe. Now she ended up eating the vegetables only then took a nap as she felt unusually tired .
