Let’s get out of here before any of them notice us... They turned to leave, trying not to make noise so as not to be noticed. Out of nowhere, a strange bird started whistling at them. Liam tried everything possible to shoo it away with his hands, making sure to do it discreetly so they wouldn't get noticed. He attempted to shush it away, but the bird seemed determined, continuing to whistle persistently, with her feathers wide open and ready to pound on them… "Who is there?" questioned one of the muscular individuals from the tribe in the language, known to them. All attention shifted towards the source of the noise. They all might have heard some noises from the bush... With a final glance and hope we meet again we leave here alive all printed on their faces, even without any word, Liam and Natalie started running for their lives. They ran with all the power within them, without looking back.... The people did a few turns, and some started chanting in their language with some s

The fresh morning air breathed life into the surroundings, causing the trees to sway in their natural rhythm while birds whistled gleefully. "Wake up," Liam said, gently touching Natalie to rouse her. Instead, she scratched herself a few times and settled back into a comfortable position to continue sleeping. Liam chuckled, marveling at how someone could sleep so soundly when their life was at stake. "I'll let her sleep a while longer while I take a moment to admire her peaceful face." He heard noises and carefully pulled up from the cave to see what it was and heard footsteps heavily approaching. He sighed heavily and went back to the cave, "We need to move from here," he quickly said. "Natalie, Natalie," he called her slowly with haste in his voice. "We need to go, we need to go. They are coming," he said. They ran in the bush, bypassing many forest branches while clearing some on the way. Before they could run in the left direction, they heard a loud groan, "Ahh," and one of t

Slowly, Natalie helped Liam to his feet, and together they dragged themselves away from the seashore. With Natalie giving him support to walk, Liam pressed his hands against his injured belly in an attempt to stem the bleeding. "Wait," Liam inquired, "how did you get me out of the water without getting scared?" "Well, I had no choice but to risk my life to save you. I didn't want to be left alone here in the forest, and after all those swimming lessons, I can't disgrace my teacher like that" she said. Liam grinned at her, but she quickly averted her gaze while sporting a smile. He stroked his lips, "I might have felt something on my lips," he said, looking at Natalie. "What-what?" she said nervously. "You felt something on your lips?" she added, pretendingly surprised. "Uhuh, something soft and heated," Liam replied with a grin, "was the actual reason why I was electrified to come back to life." "It might have been one of those tribes sucking the life out of you," Natalie said,

"Looking around to make sure no one was there, let's go inside," Doc Tee said, holding Mrs. Kiara's hand as they entered. "Have a seat, ma’am," Doc Tee started feeling tense, "The pregnancy is the whole reason I have been lost for the past two months." "Lost?" Mrs. Kiara asked. "Yes, yes," Doc Tee said and walked to her and held her hands. "Please be careful with the person you are dealing with; she’s more dangerous than you think," she added. "I might be slow, but I’m not getting your point here," Mrs. Kiara said. "The pregnancy was real but…" Doc Tee said. "But what, Doctor, tell me," Mrs. Kiara pleaded. "Okay, if I am not mistaken, you mean she was actually pregnant, so there was a real baby inside her," she added. Doc Tee nodded in agreement. "But what?" Mrs. Kiara said, her curiosity growing. "The pregnancy wasn’t…" Doc Tee started to say, her voice trembling, but before she could continue, the door slammed open, startling her. She sighed heavily when she spotted the pers

Sitting in her room, she started to laugh, gazing at the wall as memories flooded her mind. "Thank you, Marko, for giving us this chance to walk in the aisle of riches. Our baby wouldn’t have to suffer like us," she said with a smile on her face. "Come here," Marko said, leaning in to gently kiss her forehead. Their gazes locked, and then their lips met in a slow yet fervent embrace that gradually intensified. "What's your plan now?" Marko asked Brindle. "Well, I'll just go with the flow. You can wait for me at 47th Street," Brindle replied confidently. "If you say so," Marko said, "I have the most idealistic and genius girlfriend ever," he added. Adorned in shimmering attire, Brindle stood at the entrance of Canada's top hotel, one of the best in the country, with a smile on her face. "This is it. I know you'll be here," she muttered as she entered the building. "Where are you sending the coffee?" Brindle asked one of the waitresses. "To the table over there," the waitress po
