Church girl and di scammer

*Chapter 81*

Yanique's POV

I close my eyes and hold my breath , I can feel my heart beat steadying as my chest tightens.My body lays underneath the warm , still water.I feel trapped but not scared.

I rest inside the bathtub, challenged by my subconscious.

Just a little longer.

Just a little...

My phone rings and I leap out of the tub . My heart racing , I panic.

For a moment there I almost lost hope.

What was I thinking !

I reach over for my phone and answer it without bothering to check the caller's ID.

"Mi mek a stop a Lawrence place . Inna di next 30 minutes mi aguh deh a foot , yuh consume yet or mi fi grab food fi yuh?"

I hear his voice and it aches my heart. I don't feel excited as I usually would , I feel empty and pitiful.
There are no words to explain the pain that antagonizes me but it's him that I worry about more than myself.

Will he resent me for giving with one hand and taking with the other ?

Yan do not think so negatively!

"Ahhmmm, sure" I pant .

It's now 8:35 pm. It has been a few hours since I got back home from my doctors appointment and I still haven't been able to shake this feeling of sorrow for a second.

"Babe? Wah duh yuh?" He sounds worried.

"I'm fine ." I barely say , that's not enough to convince him. He knows me too well.

"Mi nuh like how yuh sound , mi a liff up now. Soon fawud" he hangs up. I sense the urgency in his voice.

I sigh before leaving the bathroom , I still can not understand what took place moments ago. It's almost as if I wanted to let go of .... Life ?

This can't be it for me. I feel the tears building up inside my eyes, I continue to push myself until I'm finished getting dressed.

I hate feeling defeated, I'm disappointed in myself for not being able to see the light at the end of this dark tunnel. I just don't have the strength to be optimistic right now and I know I should be , for the sake of my unborn child but where do I start?

Lando's POV

"Just finalize the date and I'll be there mate" Lawrence grinds. We are standing outside his house , I've already given him a brief outline of what the meeting in Dominica entails.

As I've said before , there is no better person to represent me and my brand. He's a business man as I am, even though recently we've been on opposite sides.

Him being on the illegal side and I on the legal. My brother still has excellent work ethics and communication skills. He could close this deal in his sleep.

"Bro mi a liff up enu. Fiancé nuh sound too good" I put out my spliff.

"Eeehhh , do what you have to and keep me posted." We half hug and just as I'm about to get inside my Jeep Lawrence says...

"Mek Jada shot a quick picture , Miss Reid requested this"

The move weh mi wah mek right now not even a second mi nuh have fi hitch but that's Miss Reid wi a chat bout. She na duh suh well lately and sadly mi not even get a chance fi visit her ina di hospital.

Yanique nuh mek a week pass without showing her face there, suh dat much mi grateful fah. She always give her mi regards.

"Alright maths dat quick" I say.
