and the receptionist looked her up and down. She really wanted to ask them what the hell they looking at, but she returned the smile and continued towards the exit. She could tell that they were itching to gossip or snoop through her files. They would soon discover that she was pregnant. What if the news floated around town too soon? Sooner or later everyone would have to find out. It’s the price she paid for being well-known.
Simona walked in the parking lot towards her car, her heels were clicking and she jumped from the sound of an airplane over her head.
The shocking news of her pregnancy left her feeling tense and paranoid. She sat in the car for a few minutes and placed her head on the steering wheel before cranking. How was she going to explain this to Ben? Of course she wanted to be pregnant, but she wasn’t hoping to become pregnant so soon. They would be newlyweds and it would feel totally rushed.
Simona ran both hands through her hair and tied it back into a ponytail. She massaged her temples and thought of picking up the phone to give Ben a call. She wanted to see if he would answer this time.
The phone rung once, twice and went straight to voicemail. The usual.
Please leave a message after the tone. (beep.)
Simona sucked her teeth before she thought of how to begin the message.
“Hi baby. I know you’re probably out in the fields training or whatever. But could you please give me a call? I haven’t heard from you in a few days and I’m starting to worry. I have some very important news to tell you. Please call me or let me know when you’ll be back.”
She ended the call, feeling like it was a worthless attempt. Simona drove off and treated herself to some ice cream at the Dairy Queen. She was pregnant and stressed, ice cream was a must-have for her situation.

Drew’s palms were sweaty as he watched from his car at Ben and Emily entering Gino’s Italian Restaurant. Ben was looking over his shoulder nervously, he appeared suspicious as he held the door for Emily.
Emily happily tugged on to her faux coat. The way she looked at Ben you could notice that she was crazy in love with him. The nerve of this guy, dating a new girl on the side after he murdered one earlier Drew thought.
Drew wanted to nail Ben right then and there on the spot and in front of the crowd of people, but he wanted to wait until a better time, he wanted to arrest him in front of Simona. Simona needed to see Drew as a hero and he wanted to be there to comfort her for what she’d have to witness. He wanted her to witness that her fiancé was a killer and a cheater.
Drew shook his head, tapping his fingers anxiously along the steering wheel. The son of a bitch is a two-timing military sleaze ball he thought. I’ll get him away from Simona, even if it’s the last thing I do.
Images of Simona and Ben having sex flashed through his mind. He couldn’t help but to imagine if Drew pleased her better than him.
He clenched his fist tighter as the jealousy formed in his system. He clenched his fingernails so deep into his palms that they were starting to bleed. He couldn’t wait to get Ben behind bars. He couldn’t wait to capture Simona’s heart again and have her all to himself. He just had to wait for the perfect timing. That’s all. The perfect timing.
Drew noticed that Emily and Ben had used Emily’s car while on their date. This was excellent for him to get started and do his dirty work. Drew had it in mind to frame Ben, he wanted to make it look like Ben was the killer even more.
This would increase the chances for Ben being found guilty and get behind bars. He needed more evidence to point towards Ben regarding the Amanda Stone murder.
True evidence was discovered of Ben being with Natalia Karpova before her death. Technically, he needed the same amount of evidence for Ben to be convicted for Amanda Stone as well.
Drew knew that Ben’s car had to still
