Just Mine

Ma"am please don"t stand up, you are in a hospital.

Sky looked around and looked up at Chiamanda with a confused look on her face.

Oh no, Chiamanda thought to herself, does my boss have amnesia?? Ma"am? Chiamanda called out to her, she was staring into s.p.a.ce. She waved her hands in front of her face...Ms Sky please say something.

Sky tried to remember what happened, the only thing she remembered was falling down. My baby, she said hugging her tummy. Please tell me my baby is allright?

Ma"am please calm down, everything is fine, your baby is ok but the doctor placed you on bed rest.

I need proof, she said to Chiamanda shaking. I can"t feel my baby move. It"s quiet in here she said pointing her baby b.u.mp. Are you telling me this so I won"t pa.s.s out or because you don"t want my blood pressure to go up? Please tell me the truth.

Dwayne opened the door at that moment and saw Sky shaking he ran to her, dropping the water bottles he was holding. What"s going on Chiamanda, why is she like this?

Chiamanda had never seen her boss like this before, the woman in front of her was different. Not the Ms Sky she works with. She woke up like this Mr Teffa, maybe you can calm her down and tell her that her child is ok.

Chiamanda, the boss called out to her, surprising her. Go back to the hotel and rest, you look like c.r.a.p, you went to the airport from work and flew down here, you"ve been on your feet since then. Just briefly tell me what happened. Please Dwayne call me the doctor.

Ok ma"am, Chiamanda said confused. Isn"t this the woman who was all shaking up minutes ago, now she had this look on her face that Chiamanda couldn"t read. She was back to herself but void of any emotion, she sounded like a robot.

Dwayne excused himself to get the doctor as Chiamanda narrated what happened to Sky.

Thank you for saving my life, Sky said to Chiamanda as she touched the bandage on her head. How long have I been out?

Two hours ma"am. it"s my duty to protect you ma"am, I"m sorry I pushed you and sorry about your head, thank G.o.d you were able to avoid falling on your stomach. Chiamanda said looking down.

Look at me Chiamanda, you are not my bodyguard, if you hadn"t pushed me, we would be saying a different thing by now and luckily I was able to turn and not fall on my sweetpea,you should go home and rest. Where is Bones?

He was just outside the door, but he said he wanted to go do something.

Sky looked at the bedding and saw the name of the hospital and smiled. Ok dear she said to Chiamanda.

But if I leave, who will take care of you ma"am? You need a woman Incase you have to go to the loo. The doctor said you shouldn"t move about and you also fell on your side, so the baby, you need to rest.

Dwayne and Bones will be here, I"m sure I can walk to the toilet, it"s not far, she said as she pointed at the toilet door. And you"ll be here first thing tomorrow, I need a change of cloth, this hospital gown smells like drugs. So its just for tonight. It"s past 11pm.

I"m sorry ma"am but I"m going to have to say no, you shouldn"t move about. Mr Anton will kill me....

What! you told Anton? Sky asked surprised

No I didn"t ma"am, it"s all over the news. I don"t know how the reporters got a video of it. Bones took the video down but there are articles of you even dead, saying a chandelier crushed you.

Oh no please get me my phone...

where is my phone? Sky asked, looking around for her purse.

Chiamanda went to her handbag and handed her the phone. Here you go ma"am, she said, handling her the phone.

My mom must have called, my mom must be hysterical now and my family must be going crazy.

Ouuuch Sky said as she moved her left shoulder.

Relax ma"am, i"ll make the call but I"m sure Dwayne must have called them. You hit your left shoulder too so you should be careful. See why I can"t leave?

Just get me a wheelchair, I"ll be fine.

h.e.l.lo mom, Sky said as her mom picked the call.

Mena...oh thank you Lord, she"s awake Bree, Mavis, nimo, everyone it"s Mena, she"s awake, my baby is alive...Mrs Onome said crying. How are you my child? I hope you and my grandchild are doing allright?, When Jenna saw the news, they kept it away from me. I overheard them talking, please tell me you are fine. I"ve been trying to reach you. I couldn"t get to Anton, luckily Bree had that fine young man"s number, we called him and he said you were sleeping that the news exaggerated, but that you hurt your head and shoulders and you"ve been placed on bed rest.

Calm down mom, I"m ok, please stop crying....just hold on lets switch to video call. Sky switched to video call and spoke to her family for fifteen minutes. She spoke to the doctor and was a.s.sured that mother and child are doing ok but that she had to take it easy.

Dwayne went to get her some fruits when Bones entered her room. Glad to see you awake ma"am. How are you feeling boss?

I"m fine, now tell me what you found out. I know you have something. Sky replied him. First of all, those reporters, it doesn"t make sense, with the hotel security and all, except someone let them in. And the chandelier, something tells me everything was planned.

First of all ma"am, I"d like to apologise for not doing my job well, you are my number one priority.

It"s ok Bones, you are one man, you can"t be everywhere plus no one knew the chandelier was going to fall.

I shouldn"t have trusted those guards because they are under Mr Dokun. I promise you maam, this won"t happen again, I"ll be thorough next time.

Ok Bones. Now tell me what you"ve got.

You are right about the reporters. I went back to the hotel after I brought you here, they didn"t come from outside ma"am, they were all in the hotel, some in the restaurant, while some in the lobby. They all went to the party at the same time, as if someone tipped them on something.

I noticed one just beside the hotel, he was hanging around as if waiting for someone, I don"t forget a face when I see one ma"am, he wasn"t dressed like a reporter this time, he was more like a thug, he didn"t recognize me but when I approached him, he ran. I chased him and caught him.

About the chandelier. The hotel manager said, they had some maintenance people over that because of the conference and party, they had to make sure everything was working properly. I checked the chandelier, and it was obvious someone tempered with it. You are right ma"am, everything was planned and I promise I will get to the bottom of everything. I already called stone, he will be here with the first flight tomorrow morning.

Hmmmm, why go through all this just to kill me, they could have used a sniper or got me when I was alone earlier today, except they didn"t want it to be a murder, they wanted it to be an accident, they were so meticulous. I"m still going to say it. I don"t trust Mr Dokun.

That reminds me ma"am, Mr Dokun was here, he was do worried about you, he even fired some people from the hotel and is checking all the CCTV. But I already did that and the camera in the ball room didn"t work for fifteen minutes yesterday, When the maintenance team was around.

Do you think It"s the same people who ruined my dress?

I dunno ma"am but we"ll find out soon.
