’’What are the doctors saying?’’ Gwen asked, trying to start a conversation.

’’Like they’ve always said. To wait ’’

She nodded and walked to the room heater and reduced it a little; standing beside it, she folded her arms and thought for a moment. She wasn’t sure about his response to what she was about to say, but there was no harm in trying anyways.

’’You know, you have to continue living; ’’

Nicklaus looked at her a little confused;

’’I mean, you should look after yourself too, you look like a shadow of yourself and I’m sure that’s not what Tiana would want. She would want you to be happy. ’’

’’How can I be happy when she’s not waking up, I can’t do that;’’

’’But you can’t stay this way forever,’’

’’I would, this is the only way I can live with myself. ’’

Gwen sighed frustratingly; looking at him just living like a monk for Tiana made her want to pull at her hair; ’’what if… what if she doesn’t wake up… ’’

Nicklaus frowned; ’’she is going to wake up. ’’

Gwen sucked in a breath, maybe she was being too forward, so she stopped talking,

’’yeah, she is definitely going to wake up, that’s all we all want. ’’

Gwen nodded and sat down, her eyes turned to Tiana, and she forced herself not to glare. Why won’t she just die? What was the use, being half dead and making everyone uncomfortable?

They didn’t say a word to each other again, and after waiting for a long while, Gwen bid him goodbye and left.

…

She cursed out loud as she walked towards her apartment;

The last thing she wanted was for Tiana to wake up, things will become very complicated and she might likely be found out. Her feet stopped instantly when she saw the person walking towards her;

A smile brushed the woman’s lips as she approached;

’’Veronica? ’’

Gwen called like she was shocked to see her. Veronica smiled;

’’Long time no see Gwen. ’’

Gwen swallowed. She didn’t look any different from the last time she saw her. Gwen was surprised to see her, and at her apartment at that, what was she doing here?

’’Surprised much? ’’

’’What are you doing here? ’’ Gwen asked, her eyes looked around to make sure no-one was watching.

’’We need to talk. ’’ Veronica said but Gwen glared at her;

’’We have nothing to talk about. ’’

’’Oh really? ’’ Veronica said, taking out her phone, she pretended to be calling someone;

’’Maybe I have something to talk about with Nicklaus Howells then; ’’

Gwen took the phone away from her angrily;

’’What do you want! ’’ she seethed;

’’Like I said, we need to talk, you live here right? Let’s go to your house. ’’

Veronica smiled, but Gwen just glared at her. At that moment, she knew she had made a mistake by letting her know of her plans against Tiana.

Veronica sat on the couch as she watched Gwen prepare coffee for her;

’’I don’t take much sugar, just a half teaspoon please; ’’

Gwen gritted her teeth and did not reply. Placing the cup of coffee in front of her, she sat across from where she sat.

’’What do you want? ’’

Veronica smiled when she heard her;

’’Thanks for the coffee; your house is beautiful by the way. ’’

She said, whilst taking a sip from the cup. ’’You planned your sister’s accident right? ’’

Gwen leaned to the side, this woman was trouble;

’’Is that what you came to say? ’’

Veronica laughed; ’’No, not at all. I came to tell you that I can’t keep your secret anymore; you should tell Nicklaus what you did to his wife. ’’

’’And what is that? ’’

Veronica frowned; ’’you planned to make her not bear kids…’’

’’Planned? ’’ Gwen scoffed; ’’did I do it?’’

’’You didn’t because I didn’t do it. ’’

Gwen was quiet, she knew what Veronica wanted, so she just hit the nail on the head;

’’How much do you want? ’’

Veronica’s eyes lit up;

’’Well, now you’re super famous, I’m sure $150,000 would be nothing to you. ’’

Gwen scoffed; ’’and if I refuse?’’

Veronica adjusted on the chair;

’’Then I have no other choice than to call Nicklaus and tell him everything you planned against his wife, and how you have always wanted to be with him. ’’

’’So you want to call him, and say, Hey, your wife’s sister gave me half a hundred thousand dollars to put some herbs in your wife’s food, but she changed her mind but still paid me off, and now the money is finished and I threatened her but she didn’t comply, so I’m telling you everything. What do you think would happen to you?

It seems you are forgetting that you actually took some money to hurt his wife, right? Do you think you would be safe after doing that? And, by the way, what do you think would happen to me?

I’m his wife’s sister after all, the worst he can do to me is tell me not to come anywhere around them anymore, but you, you might be filed in as a missing person who might never be found, wait even before that, what makes you think I would even let you leave this place alive? ’’

Cold shivers ran through Veronica’s body as the smug smile on her chin disappeared;

’’I’m… I’m sorry… I… I just need some money, any amount, please… ’’

Gwen glared at her and sighed;

’’For your information, I never planned that accident against my sister, so get that stupid thoughts off your head;

’’I’ll write you a check of $30,000, never appear in front of me again. ’’

’’Okay, I would never, thank you. Thank you so much. ’’

Veronica thanked and Gwen shook her head, such a stupid girl.

Walking to the table, she wrote a check and handed it to Veronica.

’’Use the door. ’’

Veronica took it and thanked again, before hurrying to the door. After she had walked a few meters away, she brought out her phone and when her eyes glanced at the recording, she smiled and she called someone immediately;

’’Hello, did you get it? ’’

’’Yes, I did. ’’

’’Good, now we’ll just have to wait for Tiana to wake up. ’’
