#A_NIGHTSTAND_WITH_A_STRANGER
EPISODE 16
*🌹 PHOEBE’S POV 🌹*
“Why do you have to kill me that way? Isn’t it a bit stressful?” I asked and she turn to glare at me.
“Shut up you b—h”she yells as she retrieves a gun and points it at me.
“Look Selene even if l die today my ghost will come back and haunt you, in the day and in the middle of the night, l will be your greatest night mare, you will see me everywhere until you can’t take it anymore and then you run mad” l said with a sm-irk and she sl@ps me again.
Though the sl@p hurt but l won’t show her any glint of pain or fear.
She was obviously afraid and annoyed by my unafraid expression.
She put down the gun slowly and sl@pped me again and again.
“Are you satisfied now?” I asked coldly.
“No! It doesn’t satisfy me that is why l want to kill you to satisfy myself” she says and aimed the gun at me.
Suddenly the door bur-st open and three hvge men aimed their guns at Selene.
I was confused, what’s going on? This are selene’s men and one of them abducted me yesterday, why are they aiming their guns at her?
“Sparrow! Scorpion! Draco, What are you guys doing?” She snarled.
She was surprised by her men sudden action towards her.
“Take away your guns from me” she commanded but they didn’t bulge.
“Put your gun down and freeze.”
A middle aged man suddenly popped out of nowhere.
He aimed his gun at Selene and she is surprised, am even more surprised.
She glared at him.
“Who are you?” She asked.
“Police officer Kelly knight”he raises his ID to her face.
“Now put your gun down” he commanded.
But Selene refused to surrender he looked at the hvge men and yelled.
“What are you doing? Shoot him now”she commanded but they ignored her and gave the officer a meaningful look.
Now l un-derstand, she was tricked, it’s obvious the men knew the police officer.
“You tricked me” Selene yelled at the men.
“Put your gun down or we shoot you” they said.
No! She yelled.
“You tricked me,” she said to the men whose guns we’re aimed at her.
“Put down your guns you v’e been surrounded” a voice echoed throu-gh the place.
“Put down your gun miss” the officer said again but she still aimed the gun at me.
I just watched in awe at the drama unfolding in front of me.
I g@sped in surprise as Mr Gray, Mr Robin, Daisy and one other person l don’t know c@m£ in with numerous police officers.
“Phoebe! Daisy squealed on seeing me.
I tried to move.
“If you move l shoot you” Selene yells at me.
She wasn’t going to give up that easily when she was surrounded with numerous guns aimed at her.
Daisy wanted to rush to me but Mr Robin held her in place.
“What are you all doing, shoot out her f—–g br@in” Mr Gray yells at the police officers.
“We can’t be reckless Mr Gray, a gun is still being aimeded at miss Phoebe.” They replied.
“Who are you?” Mr Gray asked the police officer Kelly knight.
“Am a police officer l was s£nt here to rescue Miss Phoebe.”
“Who s£nt you?” Mr Gray asked.
“Am sorry Mr Gray but am not in a position to tell you.”
“Since you are here , we will leave. Let’s go” he told selene’s men.
Selene’s gun was still aimed at me.
“Put the gun down miss Li” Mr Gray said.
He was getting pissed alre-ady.
“You can shoot me l don’t care, l would rather die than go to jail. But l will bring her along to hell with me, if l die she dies” she said and her hold on the gun ti-ght£ñed.
“You all are bunch of fools, why can’t you shoot her and end this Drama, Mr Gray yells at the police men.
Daisy freed herself from Mr Robin grip and rushed to meet me.
“Phoebe, are you okay?” She asked not minding the gun being aimed at me.
“Am fine Daisy plea-se leave here.”
“Don’t be afraid, there are many officers here, what do you think will happen to her when she attempts to pu-ll the trigger.” She said.
“Either ways it still not safe plea-se leave” l tell her.
I stare at Selene and she slowly placed her hand on the trigger.
I pushed Daisy away and she landed in a loud thud.
“Shoot her now” Mr Gray yelled at the officers.
Bbaanng! A sudden gunsh0t echoed throu-gh the place.
I thought have been sh0t but to my surprise it was Selene who screamed in pain.
Daisy rushed to me.
I stared at Selene she has been sh0t by Mr Gray. She was sh0t in her arms.
Mr Gray glared at the police men,
“I am going to make sure you all are fired” he yells at them and they are obviously frightened. He and Daisy help me get up.
Selene tried to crawl to pick her gun but someone kicked it to a distance, it was Robin.
Mr Gray threw the gun with him at the police officers.
“Take her out” he points to Selene. “you all should get lost get re-ady to be fired.”
“Sir we are sorry, we didn’t want to make a wrong move” they said as they were alre-ady on their knees.
“Get lost before l lose it” Mr Gray yelled at them.
He was very angry.
They dragged Selene away who was alre-ady lying unconscious.

I got home and freshened up. Mr Gray and Mr Robin insisted on coming home with me.
We are all sitted in the living room. I explained to them the reason why l was abuducted by Selene.
I stared at Mr Gray and tried to process all what Selene told me earlier.
Am a fool indeed, l should have known all this while, the way he spoke to me the first day l met him in his office, the way he kept calling me a b—h and asked me for a b!ow job, and always telling me l was pretending and the other day, l saw my br@celet in his house but l brushed it off.
Does he really love me like Selene have said.
No! it can’t be he probably sees me as a w—e.
How is he going to react if he finds out am carrying his child?
Of all people why Gray Mensah
Why?
“Phoebe! Daisy called.
“You spaced out.” She said
“Hmm, l was just thinking of something.”
“Are you okay?were you hurt?” Mr Gray asked.
“No” l replied.
“I want to tell you thank you for the recipe, you made me sle-pt like a baby in so many years.” He said.
I stared at him not saying anything.
This man just saved me a while again and here he is telling me thank you for just a recipe.
We continued to stare at each other.
Daisy and Robin excused themselves.
What are they even thinking?
“Mr Gray! Phoebe!” We both said at the same time.
“You go first”he said.
I stare at him. where should l start from l thought.
And there was a knock on the door.
“Coming”Daisy c@m£ out from only God knows where and rushed to get the door.
“Are you expecting anyone, Mr Gray asked.
“No l replied.
“Who are you ma’am” Daisy asked the person at the door.
“Can l come in l want to see Miss Phoebe.” The lady said.
I raise up my head to see who it is.
Maya! I called surprised.
“Mother!” Mr Gray called and l g@sped in shock.

EPISODE 17
*🌹 PHOEBE’S POV 🌹*
She c@mÂŁ in with the police officer Kelly knight.
“Mother! What are you doing here?” Mr Gray asked Maya.
This is unbelievable! Gray is the son Maya was talking about!
“My son! Maya called reaching out to him.
“Get your flithy hands off me” Mr Gray snarled.
“Am out of here”he said.
“Gray! I called and ran after him.
I ran after him till we got to where is car was parked.
“Gray! Don’t leave plea-se” l begged.
He turned to look at me.
“You just called me Gray Phoebe, what took you so long?” He said and my face turned crimson red.
“Gray, plea-se don’t leave” l begged.
“Why? Is it because of her?”
“She is you mother after all.”
“Don’t call her my mother, she is not my mother.”
“But you called her mother a while ago, it’s shows you still love her, plea-se let go of what happened in the past, and shower her with the love a son should give her mother, though she wronged you but she is still the one that brou-ght you to this world. plea-se forgive her.”
“St©p telling me what to do, you don’t know anything about me.”
“I know l don’t, l never grew up to meet my mother so l think you should be grateful for what you have, plea-se reconcile with your mother.”
He sighed and rest his head on the car window.
Maya didn’t come after us and am grateful.
“How do you know my mother?” He asked.
“I met her once, that day l was pas-sing throu-gh emotional pains and was depressed, she was depressed too and she suggested we shared our worries. I got to know everything that happened between the both of you. She told me everything, l never knew you were the son she was talking about until some moments ago when you called her mother. She regretted her actions and she misses you alot, plea-se forgive her.”
“Why were you depressed?” He asked.
“It’s a long story but l will love to share it with you only if you come inside with me.”
“$h!t! Why am l this vulnerable when around you?”
“Come with me plea-se.”
“Fine! You win.”
“Phoebe my dear! Maya called as she hvgged me ti-ghtly.
Gray avoided his mother like a plague.
“How are you feeling my dear, were you hurt?”
“No ma’am am fine, you s£nt him right?” I asked referring to officer knight.
“Yes, l did, have always kept an eye on you my dear. I knew you were kidnapped, so l arranged to meet the men who abducted you.l told them not to hurt you and offered them a reasonable amount of money that can make them live decently. I wanted to know the reason you were abducted, so they had to pl@yalong. But it turns out to be Mr Li daughter, she is obsessed with my son. The matter has been transferred to the state police. I will make sure she gets in jail.”
“You shouldn’t have done that, l could have handled it myself” Mr Gray said and glared at his mother.
“It’s a good thing my son finally opened his heart.” She said.
What’s she talking about?
“Thank you ma’am, l indeed grateful to you for saving my life.”
“You are welcome my dear, it’s my responsibility to protect you and my grandchild” she said and am shocked.
“You knew!” I ask in shock.
“Yes l knew my dear, how meeting wasn’t a coincidence, although my son keeps pushing me away, l know about everything that happens in his life. Thank you my dear for keeping the baby.”
“What are you talking about, what, baby and grandchild are you talking about” Mr Gray asked with Knitted brow.
Daisy stared at me wi-de eyed, Robin was in a daze. I guess they are confused as Mr Gray.
“I will leave now, take care of yourself my dear” Maya said as she k!$$£d me on both cheeks.
The room is tensed with pair of eyes staring intensely at me.
Mr Gray was giving me that look of speak or you die.
Maya knew all this time, when was she planning to tell me she knew l am pregnant for her son. I have to get over with this, its now or never.
“Daisy, Mr Robin, can you both plea-se excuse us.”
“Sure l was planning to leave anyways” Daisy said and drags Robin along.
“Gray l don’t know how am going to say this, should l start from the night we had S-x. I never pretended l didn’t remember, l acted that way because l actually did not remember. That night l was heartbroken, My b©yfri£ndbroke up with me and l was drun!k, but never knew my drinks were spiked. Selene paid a waiter to Spike my drink, that was when you approached me. I wasn’t in a right state of mind. I woke up the following morning to find myself n-ked in an h0tel room, l was ashamed so l ran off.
A week later, after l started working at your company l discovered l was pregnant but didn’t know the father of my baby. That was when l met your mother, she gave me hope and encouraged me to keep the baby.
Am pregnant Gray, Am carrying your child, am sorry l never told you, l didn’t know you were responsible until earlier today. Selene told me that was the reason she so badly wanted to kill me. I know it may sound lame, l know you probably see me as a w—e, l will un-derstand if you do not accept the baby but it’s a good thing l got to know the father of my child.”
He stares intensely at me, not blinking for a second and not saying anything.
“Gray, l un-derstand it’s fine if…………..
“Shush! He hushed and placed his f!ngerson myl-ips.
“I love you Phoebe, thank you for keeping our baby.”
