Thomas Willams, Theresa's uncle aged 36 and dressed in a 3-piece suit barged inside the living room panting heavily, startling Theresa's dad who was so focused on the reports.
His PA only gasped for a second before recovering her calm and bowing her head slightly low.
"What is it, little bro?"Mr. Clarks asked dropping the reports back on the table.
Thomas immediately handed him his tablet.
"Big bro, Theresa is in danger" Thomas cried.
"How?" Mr. Clarks was unwilling to believe this news.
This is his only baby Theresa we are talking about. Theresa came at a time when the doctor had said that Aarti was incapable of giving birth and that he was impotent.
Since her arrival, they had been spoiling her, giving her whatever she wants and even let her go see her idol.
Why then is Thomas saying that their baby is in danger?
It was at this moment that Aarti ran down the stairs quickly, a dagger in her hand.
Her hair which was earlier in a ponytail is now in a mess.
Her eyes were red from sorrow and anger.
"Clarks, give me back my daughter"Aarti barked as she ran towards her husband wanting to stab him but Thomas took the dagger away from her and held her in place.
"Let me go, Thomas. Let me go"Aarti cried.
"Clarks, I warned you not to let her go, but did you listen? Did you? Now see! I, Aarti, I am now childless. What do I live for? I want to die"Aarti tried to struggle free but was no match for Thomas.
Clarks looked at the news on the tablet and looked at his wife and brother with mouth agape.
His hands began to tremble and the tablet fell from his hands and scattered into some pieces.
Clarks sank down to his knees and a tear slid down his right eye.
He then roared in sorrow.
The PA and the servants around nearly fell to the ground from the roar.
Clarks looked at Aarti who was crying hard for her lost daughter.
Heavens know how much she spoiled her daughter and now she's all gone.
If she's given a second chance, she'd ever let her baby go.
Now her daughter. Their only heir--is gone.
Gone from this world.
Aarti could not bear the guilt descending on her and fainted.
"Get the emergency car ready, alert the family hospital" Thomas ordered.
The PA nodded and left the sitting room to get the orders carried out.
Clarks immediately got up from kneeling and snatched Aarti from his brother and took her downstairs.
"Aarti, please hold on for me and Theresa," he muttered as he rushed out of the living room.
