SAD THING ?

Episode 5

Chris's note reads:
"Cammy, I'm in a lot trouble because of what you owe me, I couldn't pay what I owe my boss, for days now I have been on the run, my boss has threatened to kill me if I couldn't balance up, I'm very scared, I will be at my place at 9pm tonight, I want to run far away, where I would be safe but I can't leave without seeing your face for the last time"
Tears rolled down her eyes as she read the note.

At 9pm, Camila had already arrived at Chris's apartment, she remembered when last she was there, it was four weeks ago when they had made out.
She quickly opened the door and walked into the apartment.
Her face lightened up with a quick smile as she saw Chris standing right after the door.
"Cammy you are here?"Chris said softly
He was looking so exhausted.
"Chris, I'm pregnant.. we are going to have a baby" Camila entered at once.
"Really? Are you sure?" Chris entered as his face lightened up with a quick smile.

Camila nodded and Chris walked closer to her and hugged her.
"I love you" Chris entered
"You do?" Camila asked
"Yes, I love you, I tried to wave off this feeling but I couldn't, I'm sorry for everything I did wrong, I took advantage of you, you wouldn't blame me much if you hear my story, I'm a prince, the only prince of ISU kingdom, I was only thirteen years old when my father died and ever since then my life and the life of my beloved mother has been in danger, many times I and my mother had narrowly escaped death, and I have discovered that it was my uncle that wants me dead, he is now the King and he is all-powerful, that's why I joined this drug business because my boss had promised to protect me and Mom, in return I became his sales person but when I couldn't balance up, I noticed that he was only using me, he told me to my face that he doesn't want to get involved with my royal matter, that my uncle is the king and that there's nothing I could do about it, my problem is why did he lead me on? When he knows he was not going to help me, I turned to the way of crime because I needed protection, but now I see that it's doesn't worth it" Chris narrated and Camila listened in disbelief.

"Here is my mother's photograph, I wrote her address at the back of the photograph.... I have told her about you" Chris added, he was about to say more, when he heard sounds.
"Camila, they are here, please hide, I love you so much" Chris said softly and Camila went to hide under the bed in the bedroom

"Chris, open the door, you are surrounded, I told you that you can run but you can't hide, no one eats my money and get away with it, I don't care if you are a prince, you messed with the wrong guy and right now I'm going to help your uncle to get rid of you for life. You are a scum, a thief, how dare you?" A huge looking man thundered.
"This is the end of the road for you Chris" the man added

And the next minute the door was broken and Chris was shoot thrice and was left to die.
Immediately the huge man and his thugs left, Camila ran out of her hiding place, she had thought that they had left with Chris but she was so shocked when she saw Chris laying on his own pool of blood.
"Camila.... I'm... Sorry... Please..take care..of., your self... .... You.. are... Carrying... The heir to my kingdom.... His..name... Shall be......Nnamdi.... I ..... Love... You" Those were Chris's last words and then he died.

Camila cried like she was going to die.
"Not again" she said in tears.
She cried and cried and when she realized that she might get into a lot trouble if the police arrived and meet her there, she then quietly left with the photograph.

Camila had severally visited the address that Chris wrote down at the back of the photograph but was disappointed to meet a middle-aged man, she had only revealed that she was looking for Chris's mother, the man had told her that she was in a wrong address.
"No one bears Chris here talk much of Chris's mother, you are in a wrong address" the middle aged man said bluntly.

Ever since Chris died, Camila had been trying hard to over come her drug addiction
But her addiction had proved to be stronger, she barely stayed clean for few months and soon she began to crave for more hard drugs. She had finally succeeded in mortgaging her house and with the money she derived, she was able to buy hard drugs from another drug dealer that she discovered.

At Six months of pregnancy, Camila reluctantly joined the ante natal clinic, where the doctor strongly warned her against drug use.
"Your baby is already in danger, there's a possibility that your child might be abnormal, I advise you stop to avoid more harm to your baby" the doctor said.
Camila was terrified that she decided to quit hard drugs for her child's well being.

Camila who feared her child might be born with a disability prayed to God for the first time in a long time.
"Lord I have not asked you for anything in a long while, Lord I want to give birth to a healthy Baby, and I vow that I will quit drugs, give me the grace Lord to stay away from Drugs" Camila prayed with her eyes wide open.

Camila's joy knew no bound when she gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
she weaned her child for a year and half and then she decided to go to rehab.

She was so excited for her decision but her excitement quickly turned in to anxiety when she was told that she was going to live in the clinic for 6 months or more but her young son would not be staying with her at the center

"For six months or more, your son should stay with a family member whom you trust" a middle aged woman who happened to be the head nurse said
"Family member?" Camila repeated
"Yes, a family member like your parents or siblings" The woman explained.
"I don't have any of those, my parents are long dead and I'm the only child of my late parents" Camila said at once
The woman nodded in pity and then said
"You must have a uncle... Aunt or most especially you must have a best friend, someone you can trust, to take care of your child and keep him safe"
And then Camila's thoughts went to Vivian who was still very much bitter and angry with her.
