Chapter 34 Enemies Within

• It's almost a month since Ciara decided to reside with her oldest uncle, Kent. He seems to be accommodating, just like he used to since when she was younger, Ciara knew she made the right choice of residing with him in the first place; that she barely had time to get drowned in her thoughts.
• As she had expected, she was starting to let go of the thoughts of Ryan and was beginning to face and accept reality —the bright side of it. Well, with Derrick being clingy at most time, she had little or no space at all to think, her uncle was being of help too when he felt the need to.
• Her protruding stomach was noticeable and Ciara always felt her heart swell in joy and, most times, in fear. The joy of becoming a mother soon was enough to sweep her off her feet and the fear, too, never ceased to resurface at times like that.
