Be My Bride

Chapter 28

Kimberly

Everything else was a blur. I knew that Samuel carried me into the ambulance and a bunch of people were questioning me but my memory was very hazy. I was too stunned to speak. I felt my body slowly give way.
The next time I opened my eyes, I was at home. In our bedroom. The familiar smell and warmth that surrounded me caused my eyes to burn with emotion.

I was really safe.

All I could feel was the pounding in my head. I just wanted to see my son. I tried to get out of bed but I couldn't move any part of my body. I felt weak. It was as if, I didn't have control of my body anymore.

  Suddenly, the lights came on. Nearly blinding me with it's harsh glare. Then there she was. Standing by the wall with her hands crossed.

" You think you succeeded in escaping? You're wrong Kimberly, very wrong!" Jennifer had the most menacing look on her face.

I couldn't move away from her. No matter how hard I tried.

" Oh give up Kim, you can't move even if you wanted to. I've made sure of it." She held up a syringe.

" No, no. Get away from me." I screamed as she raised a knife ready to plunge it deep into my chest and just like that I was pulled back as I heard my name being called incessantly.

" Wake up, Kim. Wake up." I opened my eyes to see Samuel  surrounding me with a tight embrace.

" It's okay, you were having a nightmare. You're okay, I promise, you're okay."  He comforted me as he rubbed my back while I buried my face into his chest and drifted to sleep and this time, without nightmares.

I woke up to the sound of Kyle making cute baby noises with his father. I felt a surge of happiness as I quickly stood up from the lying position. God knows that I've missed my boy.

Samuel noticed that I was awake. He gave me a warm smile with a flicker of emotion on his face that I couldn't comprehend. It was gone quickly.

He brought Kyle over to me. My baby had grown so much in the days I was away from him. His cheeks were chubby and fuller.

" Oh my baby, I've missed you so much." I planted numerous kisses on his cheeks as i felt a tear stream down my face.

" I'm sure he has missed his mummy. " Samuel said as he took a seat on the bed .

" Kim, you have to tell me about the person that did this to you." He stared at me, maintaining eye contact.

I dropped my gaze immediately." It was Jennifer. " I said.

That was all i said before he stormed out of the room in anger.

" Samuel, Samuel." I called out as he went downstairs to pick his car keys.

I ran after him in fear that he was going to do something we would both regret.

" Samuel calm down! let the police handle this. Please Samuel." I called out .

" Samuel please!"

He took a long look at me then he sighed. " I'm going to handle this Kim just trust me. I'm going to make Jennifer pay."

" I know, I trust you but I need you to trust the police to handle this. They'll arrest her and then we'll move on from there. Please Samuel." I pleaded with him.

He gave in. " Fine. I'll speak with the detective. "

After a series of calls, Samuel came back upstairs looking exhausted.
