140 It was all fake !!! So fake
Raymond immediately called David using his private number and said,
"Make sure we have multiple copies of this video. We might need it when we will be taking any legal actions".
"I have taken two backups already. But I would advise you to delete this content from your phone as we never know what they might try to attempt", David said.
"Ok, I will do that !!!", Raymond said and disconnected the call.
He opened the video again and played it at a slower speed and then he deleted it from his phone.
Then he went to his bed and put the headset back. He listened to the rhythmic sound of her breath and then felt his heart at ease. He sighed and closed his eyes trying to imagine her, but then suddenly he heard her mumbling something.
He immediately increased the volume and tried to hear what she was saying.
"I ....love you, Raymond. Umm.....I ... please"
"Ugghh ... please"
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath and murmured,
"Hang in there !!! Just a few days more. Trust me Akira, trust me !!!"
There was no way in which he could say these words out loud to her. There was no way in which he could comfort her. He felt so helpless at that moment, that probably he would have torn destiny into pieces if he could.

It was around 9:45 am in the morning and Katherine was done with her makeup and fake hair. Once she felt she was ready, she went downstairs. David was waiting for her outside her house, leaning on to his car with her fake medical reports.
Katherine reached near David who was busy studying the files and gave him a gentle tap on his shoulder.
"Ummm Yes?", David turned and asked.
"Umm... I wanted to know if there is any ATM vestibule nearby? I am new to this neighborhood", Katherine asked.
"Oh yes, there is one just 3 blocks..."
"Oh God, David!!! It's me, Katherine, Now I am confident, I am not-recognizable", she said and laughed.
David looked at her in surprise and said,
"Jesus Christ, you look like a whole another person".
"I know right !!!", Katherine said and got inside the car.
Throughout the way, David explained to her about the fake medical reports as she had an appointment with Dr. Brooks. Katherine carefully listened to every single word that David said. She had also been trained by her university friend who was a pediatrician at the same hospital. She was confident that she could do it.
A couple of minutes later.
"Miss. Monica Bennet !!! Dr. Brooks will be seeing you now. Please follow me".
Katherine gave a nod and followed the attendant.
Once she entered the room, she greeted Dr. Brooks very warmly and sat down. Then with an air of authority, she looked at the attendant and said,
"Privacy !!!".
The attendant left the room and while leaving she closed the door.
Once she left, Dr. Brooks said,
"So Miss Bennet. How may I help you?"
Katherine channeled all the acting prowess that she had within and said,
"You can know it very well doctor from my looks itself that I am a very popular TV soap actress. So you don't need to worry about the money part", she said and placed a blank signed cheque in front of her.
"I do not understand", Dr. Brooks said.
"There is this guy I need to marry and for that, I need to be Pregnant and I need to look Pregnant. So do whatever you can and help me out with this situation", Katherine said and adjusted her sunglasses.
"Miss Bennet, I think you are mistaken. How can I help you with this? Only your to be husband can help you with this", she said and smiled.
"But my friend told me that you can do it", Katherine said with a bit of agitated tone.
"What friend?", Dr. Brooks exclaimed.
"Oh, c'mon doctor. Scarlett Robinson, from the series 'Charlotte and I'. She told me that you had helped her and you could help me too. I am ready to pay any price. But I need this", Katherine said and with her voice almost pleading she handed over her files to Dr. Brooks.
"Ok Ok fine !!! Don't start crying. Let me see what I can do", she said and started studying the files.
A few minutes later she sighed and said,
"So you have a severe case of Polycystic ovarian syndrome. In such cases most of the times it is not possible to have a kid", Dr. Brooks said analyzing the old ultrasound reports.
"So what do you want?", Dr. Brooks asked.
"I have tried so many times doctor, but I just can't get pregnant. But now the situation is that I have to look pregnant. I need to fool my boyfriend into it so that I can marry him. But it needs to be neat and a well-executed plan because he is very smart and he shouldn't get any doubts", Katherine said.
Dr.Brooks laughed and said,
"We played a fake ultrasound video for your friend and her fiance couldn't even figure it out".
Katherine's heart just stopped.
She gulped her spit and asked,
"So her fiance couldn't know that it wasn't a real video?".
"No chance !!!", Dr. Brooks said and chuckled.
"That poor chap even got all emotional seeing that video and was almost on the verge of crying. So trust me on the staging part. Your boyfriend will have no clue. I can prescribe you pregnancy hormone inducing tablets and once you start that you can take a pee on the stick test after a couple of days", Dr. Brooks said.
Katherine was dying inside because she knew that this will kill Raymond. Scarlett had aborted the real baby months ago and that gave him so much pain that he went into a shell. When he will get to know that this time it's a fake baby, the pain will be unrecoverable.
"Why Scarlett?? Why did you give false hopes to my brother?", Katherine thought and winced in pain.
Her thought process was interrupted when Dr. Brooks asked,
"So from when do you want to start the pregnancy? We need to stop your monthly cycles also accordingly. Just to avoid any doubts", Dr. Brooks said and looked at her.
"As soon as possible", Katherine replied and then she added,
"I need everything that you did for Scarlett to be done in my case or even more. This pregnancy must look successful and real. Do you get it?"
"Leave all that onto me. We control everything here. You just make sure the money keeps coming and stick to what I say. Then no one can know anything. Her fiance tried to run a DNA paternity test behind her back, but we fooled him there too. So trust me, I got your back from all sides", Dr. Brooks smiled and kept the cheque inside her draw.
Then she started writing about all the medicines on the prescription pad, totally unaware of the fact that this whole time the entire conversation was being recorded via Katherine's sunglasses.
