Chapter 86
After The call disconnected, Sherry went back to the room where Christiana was and sat beside her.
Staring at the latter's sleeping face, she couldn't help but remember her daughter.
She would never forget what happened that day for lifetimes to come.
When she was about just fifteen years old, she was raped on her way back from school by a hooligan.
From that day onwards her life never remained the same, she got Depressed and often attempted suicide but was rescued by an association that dealt with depressed teenagers.
She lived there for months and soon she began to feel dizzy and nauseous.
She fainted on one occasion and when she woke up, she got the shock of her life.
The doctor confirmed that she was two months pregnant.
What the...! 
How? Why? 
She had a lot of questions on her mind but she had no one to ask.
She couldn't get a suitable answer for all of this.
How could she explain to society that she was impregnated by her rapist?
A Hooligan who she doesn't know? 
How? 
She had an option of Aborting the child but she didn't and managed to carry the pregnancy to term despite the odds.
She gave birth to the child in a low-grade hospital.
Immediately after the child was born, she requested the nurse to let her see the child.
The latter refused at first as she claimed that the child needed a bath first but she insisted.
It was as if she knew that the child will be taken away from her forever.
She stared at the baby which was bathed in dark blood.
" My baby. " She had thought then
Seeing the child, she suddenly felt that it was all worth it, the suffering, the pain, and everything.
She kissed the baby's blood-stained forehead before whispering.
   " I love you, Honey. " 
She then handed the child back to the nurse and then fell back asleep.
When she woke up hours later and requested to see her child.
She was told.
The words were one she'll never forget.
" She's dead. " The nurse told her.
" What! How the hell did that happen! " She demanded.
" Well... " The nurse ' Explained ' what happened.
Then the already turned purple child was brought to her.
She wept like she never wept before, she couldn't believe that the child she carried only hours ago was already dead.
Because she was heartbroken and crying, she didn't notice anything amiss.
And only accepted the fact that her child was dead.
But what if?
Now staring at the sleeping Christiana, she noticed a similarity between the latter and her supposedly dead daughter.
  They both possessed Deep blue eyes which were rare.
What if? 
She didn't even dare to think of the possibility.
Her Daughter was certified dead so it can't be possible, right?
Or so she thought.

After the call ended, Rose let out a sigh before she then dropped her cell phone on the king-sized bed and was about to enter the bathroom when she heard Daniel's voice from behind her.
" Why don't we bathe together, Wifey? " He suggested with a wink.
Rose looked at him and was Suprised to see him already in his purple Bathrobe.
" Why are you here all of a sudden? " 
" Why? Don't you want me to be here, Wifey? " He questioned.
" I don't mean that, what I meant was why are you suddenly home? Weren't you supposed to be busy at work? " She said.
" Oh, that I left earlier to accompany you. " He said walking towards her.
" Are you happy to see me, Wifey? " He asked in a hoarse voice as he hugged her from behind with his chin in between her neck.
Rose shivered involuntarily from their closeness.
" Yes. Umm. " She couldn't talk Straight.
Her head was already messed up with dirty thoughts.
" What are you thinking about, Wifey? Don't tell me it's... " 
" Shut up! " Rose said blushing red.
" Oh, so I was right. " Daniel replied with a Chuckle.
" You..! " 
" Alright, alright. I will stop teasing you, happy now? " 
" Whatever. " 
Daniel released her then walked ahead of her into the bathroom and Rose followed after.
" See who's in a hurry to bathe with me. '' He teased.
Rose glared dangerously at him and he immediately shut his mouth.
So they entered the Large tub together and soon, a simple bath turned into something sexual.
When they were done.
Daniel carried the already exhausted Rose out of the tub before wiping her down with a Pink towel then he dressed her in a  clean and dry bathrobe before carrying her out of the bathroom.
He placed her gently on the bed, then he tightened the rope on his bathrobe before climbing on the bed with her.
He wrapped his arms around her and they stayed like this in silence.
" Can you help me with something? " Rose spoke up in a low voice.
Her voice had become hoarse from all the moaning and screaming earlier, thinking of it she felt very embarrassed.
[ Rose reminds me of Tangning in my favorite novel Trial Marriage Husband. ] 
" What is it? " Daniel replied with a raised eyebrow, Rose rarely ask him to help her with something so he was pretty curious about what is it she wanted to ask him.
" Can you ask your assistant to do a background check on Sherry Smith? Everything about her from the time she was born till now. " 
" Alright I'll but why are you suddenly thinking of this? " 
" Well, I have a hunch that She and Christiana Quinn has some sort of a connection. " 
" Oh, do you think they have a mother-daughter relationship? " 
" Am not sure yet but I'll find out soon, and I also want you to help me do a background check on Nancy Quinn too. I feel that she isn't as simple as she appears. " Rose said.
" Alright, I'll. You must be exhausted, go to sleep now, I'll make dinner. " 
" Hm. " Rose replied and soon she drifted into slumber.
Realizing that she was asleep, Daniel stood up from the bed and then went to make a call to his assistant before heading downstairs to make dinner for both him and Rose.
[  A/N: Wait, am I the only one that forgot that Rose is pregnant? ]
