If Only She Knew - Season 1 - Episode 20

After two months.

“Florence, I am going home.”
“Okay, madam. Boss is still in Bostwana?”
“Yes, but he is coming back today,” replied Emily. “I will see you tomorrow.”

Things had been going on well between her and Max. He had gone to Botswana on a business
trip. She walked to the garage and was about to open the door.

“Are you Emily?” she asked wearing a long black dress and a black veil covering her hair.
Emily stared at her, heart pounding really fast.
“Ye ye yes,” she stammered moving backwards. “Who are you?”

“Don’t marry him. He is not what you think he is. He will soon show you his true colours. Leave
him or you will die,” she said trembling. “You will die.”

“You are crazy.”
“No, I am not crazy. Run Emily, never look back,” she warned and ran.

“Wait! Stop!” shouted Emily following but she couldn’t catch up with her.

“Madam! Are you okay?” asked the security guard.

“Did you see a woman wearing a black dress, covered her hair with a black veil?” asked Emily.
“No, madam. It’s just you and me.”
“You didn’t see her?”
“No!”

She was confused and even thought she was hallucinating. She went back to her car and opened the door. She got inside and locked the doors. She kept looking through the window hoping to see the woman. She started her car and drove home since Max was coming back. She parked the car and got inside the house. She headed to the bathroom and took a breath before starting to prepare for dinner.

She was about to roast her chicken when her phone rang. She just answered
without checking who it was.

“Hello!” she responded.
“Run Emily. Never look back. Run for your life. He will hurt you Emily.”

The voice sounded scary.
“Who is this? Hello! Hello!.”
She sat on the chair in the kitchen biting her nails. She couldn’t call back because it was a private
number. A knock on the door disrupted her thoughts, afraid to go and open. She ran upstairs and locked herself in her room. She waited for a few minutes and heard Max’s voice calling out her name.

She took a deep breath and opened the door. She ran in his arms.

“Okay. I guess you missed me right?”
“Yes, I did. I am glad you home. This house is so big. I was scared,” said Emily “Let me go and take a bath. We will talk later,” said Max heading to the bathroom.

Emily set the dinner table. They had dinner together and later went to their room. She tried
sleeping but could not thinking about the woman she had met at the garage. She got off the bed
and went to sit in the loudge. She was watching a movie, ‘War Room’. When her phone rang
again, it was around 10pm. She jumped on her feet and moved distance away from the phone. It
didn’t stop ringing. Max walked downstairs and took the phone.

“Whats wrong Emily?” he asked getting close to her.

“Who was calling?”
“It’s an alarm. It wasn’t a call. Are you okay?”

“I am fine. Let’s go to sleep,” she said holding his hand.

There was a bang at the door and she screamed in terror. Max looked at her. Wondering why his
fiancee was acting weird. He was about to walk to the door when she stopped him.

“No! Don’t go!”
“What is happening to you Emily? You acting weird,” he said and went to open the door. “It’s the
dog. See, there is nothing.”

She took a deep breath and swallowed hard. They went back to sleep but still Emily didn’t seem to
get any eye shut.

Early in the morning, she woke up feeling dizzy. She kept running up and down to the bathroom. It
was for the fifth time when Max noticed her.
“Are you okay?” he asked concerned.
“No, I feel sick,” she lay on the bed.
“Do you want me to take you at the hospital?”
“No, you go to work. I will go later at the hospital,” she said covering herself with a sheet.
“Okay. Call me if it gets worse.”

He grabbed his car keys and walked out of the room. At around 10am. She got up from the bed
and took a bath. She had booked an appointment with her doctor. She needed to found out what
was wrong with her. Walked out of the house and got into her car. Drove it to the hospital, parked it outside. Walked in and went straight to the doctor’s office. Knocked on the door and he
responded. Got inside and offered her a sit. He took her blood and she sat in the waiting room
waiting for the results. Hours passed and was called back in the office.

“You are pregnant! Congratulations!” said the doctor.

“What?!” she exclaimed.
She remembered that she had stopped taking her pills. It was not good news to her since Max had told her that he didn’t want a baby. He didn’t want to be a father. She walked out of the hospital feeling weak. She had no idea how she was going to explain the pregnancy thing to Max.

“Take your pills everyday. I don’t want you to fall pregnant,” she remembered him seeing.
She opened her car door and sat.

“Drive!” she commanded . “Don’t look back, drive the car.”

“Who are you? Are you the one who have been calling me? What do you want from me?”
“Dammit Emily! Drive the car. I will tell you when to stop. Now!”

She started the car trembling.
