The vibrating and ringing of his cellphone woke Bryan up. He almost fell from the couch. He forgot he was supposed to wake up early...because he was tired...yes he was. He saw Faith stirring in her sleep changing her position to a comfortable one. She looked cute and peaceful.
He looked at the caller and it was the president.
"Hello good morning sir", Bryan said.
"Morning how's Faith..." Bryan looked at her again and he smiled. She was okay.
"She's alright sir but still sleeping"
"She must be tired then...come to my house as soon as she wakes up. Bring her with you"
"Very well...".
The president's wife must have agreed to let Faith come to the house. Of course it was expected. The woman was just too good. She had too bigger heart. But Bryan knew that the problem will come when the girl gets exposed to the public. People would want to know who she is. And he was certain that if what the sangoma said was true then the vice president and the cabinet ministers will be after Faith. Just to stab the president on the back they will try to eliminate her . After all the traditional healer told Maxwell that Faith was chosen by the gods. She was his strength. Faith was of course oblivious to this fact.
Maxwell had not told her yet....but he was sure one way or the other he would have to tell her. Tell her how special she was....tell her how important she was to everyone.
If Faith was the president's strength...for them tigers to get to the president they would have to pass through Faith. And passing through Faith meant killing her. And Bryan would die before that happens.
He was going to protect her. Protecting her meant protecting his president.
Bryan walked over to the bed. He tapped her lightly on the shoulder.
"Wake up...we have to go", Bryan softly whispered.
Faith woke up as soon as she heard someone telling her to wake up. Oh it was the bodyguard. She almost forgot about the events that occurred the previous day. She sat up as she yawned.
"Good morning", Bryan said with a smile plastered on his face and Faith returned the gesture. Faith could not help but notice that Bryan was a kind young man. No wonder her father trusted him so.
"You good,,,?", Faith asked.
"Yes... and I hope you slept well"
"I did...thanks to you", Faith said.
"Good then...your father called. He said to bring you to his home", Bryan told her. Faith got excited.
She was going to have a family!

"How am I going to tell them Amanda. What if they don't accept her?", Maxwell was concerned about his other three daughters. Are they going to take in the fact that they aren't 3 but they are actually four. Especially Mitchell...his Mitchell. Would she be able to embrace her other sister. After all she was a spoiled child. She grew up with everything. Everything that she's always wanted,she had.
"Max you love your daughters and they love you too....talk to them. I'm sure they will understand", his wife told him as she hugged him from behind. His wife was right. He had to tell them. He didn't care about the consequences that will befall him. He only cared about his daughters. For now he wanted to be be a father and make things right. He needed to do that before he flies to Egypt. He would sort things out when he gets back but for now he needed to bring Faith where she belongs.
