Bridge Of Love – Episode 3

                      Lady Morgana Pov

I snatched my hand from her and stare at her with hatred written boldly on my face. 

You will live to regret your life you idiot! I yelled at her as I quickly picked up my bag and walked out. 

Mrs Sebastian! She called me with a loud voice and I turned around 

Mark this day, you and your family will pay for everything you did to me… I swear on my Nana’s grave… She said as tears rolled down her cheeks. 

I sighed aloud as i walked away and the police led her back to the prison.

The nerve of that freaking girl, she thinks am afraid of her but what she doesn’t know is that i never give up and as for that bastard she’s carrying in her womb I will make sure that worthless thing will perish…i have already paid an officer to keep an eye on her… I thought as i drove my car in anger. 

**

Mommy! Are you ready for this beautiful day? Daisy asked dressed in her wonderful attire. 

Of course baby! Finally your brother is going to marry Julie the governor’s daughter…. I smiled as we held hands and walked out of the room straight to the decorated car outside the compound. 

We were at the reception garden when my phone rang aloud. 

It was the female police I paid to keep an eye on that peasant girl. 

Hello! What is it? I asked 

She’s in labour my lady… He said as my eye widened in shock 

What? Is the mid wife there? I asked 

Yes ma’am! He replied 

Let me speak to her…. Hello! Listen once she gives birth to that thing, I want you to tell her that her child is dead, hand the child over to this officer do you understand me? I asked 

But ma’am! Why should I lie to her and… The mid wife asked

Shut up and do as i said you fool, let me speak to the officer… I yelled 

Hello ma’am! The female officer said 

Listen! Once she hands the baby to you, kill the child… I don’t ever want to see or hear about her ever again… I ordered 

Consider it done ma’am! She said as i hung up 

Good! There will be no reason why that stupid Imelda and my son will have anything in common… I smiled mischievously 

Mom! Are you OK? That was Andrew’s voice as he saw me standing at a corner 

Yes son! Let’s enjoy the party… I said and walked away with him. 

                  Imelda’s Pov

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around…

Where’s my baby? I managed to speak and tried sitting up 

Calm down Imelda! You are not yet strong enough.. The mid wife said 

Actually Imelda you had a baby girl but… she said 

A baby girl? Where’s she? Where’s my baby? She asked roughly shaking my hands

She died some minutes after birth am really sorry… The mid wife said 

No! You are not telling me the truth, she’s not dead, I have a feeling my baby is alive… Go and bring my daughter… I yelled almost tearing the mid wife apart. 

Miss Rodriguez! Pull yourself together…. The mid wife said but I didn’t care 

She’s the only one i have on earth! She’s not dead, No! You will pay for this Lady Morgana I will destroy your lives… I yelled as I collapsed. 

                    Officer’s Pov

The mid wife placed the baby in a basket and handed it to me. 

I carried the basket and boarded a bus heading to San Francisco. 

Why is Lady Morgana so cruel? Especially to this innocent child? I never wanted to get involved with this but she threatened the life of my family, but I can’t harm this innocent baby girl… I thought within myself as i got down from the bus. 

But if I don’t kill her then Lady Morgana will surely hurt my family… I thought again as I scratched my head in confusion. 

it was already dark and I pitied the innocent child. 

I saw a garbage bin by the roadside, I was so far from Manila so I quickly kept the basket by the trash bin. 

Am sorry little baby but I have to do this cos of your cruel grandma… I said as i removed the bead necklace I was wearing and wore it on her neck as I left her there and ran off. 

THE NEXT MORNING 

                Mr Bernard’s Pov

My wife, my son and I were hurrying to the town market to buy some dry corn that we will use in cultivation. 

Let introduce myself, my name is Bernard Hildalgo, am a poor farmer here in San Francisco with my wife Jane Hildalgo and my six years old son Nathan. 

Jane and Nathan were hurrying as I bent to fix the buckle of my shoe and I suddenly heard a baby cry. 

It was coming from the trash can beside the road. 

Jane did you hear that? I asked but sh shrugged it off 

Hear what? she asked 

the baby cry? I said as i drew closer to the trash can and open it and the cry became more loud. 

I opened the basket and I gasped….
