Chapter 67
“It’s mine. I have the paperwork She shook her head at him, but he ust kept talking. “You are squatting, and I will forcibly remove you, he threatened.
She took a larger step away from him and tried to summon as much anger and courage as she could. “Get off my property now,” she said pulling out her phone and dialing Milton.
“Fucking junky–ass whore,” he whispered under his breath. “We know that you’re just crashing here.”
She shook her head at him. If anyone was on drugs, then it was him Milton, she sighed as he answered. “I need help! There’s some guy and his family here demanding me to leave, saying they own my home.”
“You’re calling your dealer?” The man asked, sounding worried.
“No, you twat, I’m calling the police! You’re breaking the law!”
“Pandora, get inside your home now,” Milton ordered at the same time the jerk started talking.
“Great, then they can take your squatter ass to jail for trespassing.”
“I am on my way. I’ll reroute a car to you,” Milton continued pulled her back by her arm.
sounded like he was running. She got to her door but the guy
“You’re not getting in my house,” he yelled at her.
“Daddy!” seemed to be yelled again as her breath came out sharply.
Get away from the lady now!” was yelled with authority.
“She’s trying to break into my home,” the jerk said, not letting Pandora go.
“We said to let her go!” the voice shouted, and the man let her go. Immediately, she got the door open and got inside, locking it
behind her.
“Great, now because of you, she’s in my home!”
Pandora could hear him yell but she tried to calm her breathing down. The yelling from outside seemed to calm down, and she stayed frozen against her front door. It came to her that she was a little out of it when she jumped at the knock on her door.
“It’s Milton,” she heard Milton say through the door. She cracked open the door to see that he was alone. “I told them they had to leave, Milton continued as she opened the door wider.
“What the hell is going on, Milton?” she asked him, he just sighed, walking in.
“They have a signed buyers agreement and legal paperwork showing the sale is pending escrow to this house.”
She shook her head at him. “I wouldn’t and haven’t sold this house, so how can they have it? The deed is upstairs in the same lock box as I showed you before. I’ll get it for you in a few minutes.”
“I don’t know how this all came about, but we will have to investigate this.”
Pandora nodded, and rubbed her chest as she got heartburn. “This is Derrik who did this, she hissed, walking away from him. “I thought that guy from today was no one when he came by yesterday. How could they have been in here?” she asked him as she walked into the kitchen.

“I’m not sure of that either, but they have been inside of your house They described the inside of your home to me, in great detail.
Pandora turned and looked at him. “Pandora, this is not just you, they wired fifty thousand dollars down payment upfront for this
house.”
She closed her eyes, feeling somewhat sorry for the family, but that didn’t excuse how the man behaved toward her. ‘Coffee?” she asked, opening her fridge.
“Please,” Milton replied.
Her head turned to the fridge as she straightened her hand out to grab the milk carton, but all she could see was a bloody pink thing staring at her. She screamed and jumped back, crashing into the counter.
“Pandora, calm down, take nice slow and steady breaths. It’s a pig’s ad, Milton seemed to repeat, but all she could do was look at it. “Pandora, eyes on me,” he said slowly as she turned her head to him.
“Milton,” she sobbed, feeling unable to calm herself down.
“Just nice and slow,” he said and she shook her head at him. Feeling cold and damp, her eyes shifted down and she saw she was on
the flear.
“Why am I on the floor?” she gasped at him as she was still unable to take a full breath.
“You slipped,” he replied smoothly to her.
“Did I spill water?” she asked him as the dampness she felt got worse.
“No?” There was a new worrying undertone to Milton’s voice.
I’m wet, why am I…” She stopped talking as pain ripped through her
“I think your water broke,” he informed with a fake calmness.
“No, it can’t! I have six weeks to go, Milton. They can’t come yet,” she sobbed, pleading with him to do something.
“Come on,” he muttered, pulling her up. They only made it to the front door before she was doubled over in pain. Milton rubbed her back as he whispered reassuring words into her ear.
Milton ran around to the front of his car, got in, and pulled it right up to the door. He helped her into the car, and before leaving her yard, he had lights and sirens blaring.
“We’ll get you to the hospital- call your doctor,” he said, looking at her over his shoulder.
Pandora pulled her cell out but as she went to hit call, the car swerved to the side and they were pulled off to the side of the road.
“Pandora,” he yelled, touching her.
“What happened?” she asked. He shook his head and jumped out as pain ripped through her. She started to pant and panic.
“I have a flat tire,” Milton said as he swallowed. “I’m going to call my wife. She and her brother, who’s a doctor, should be driving down this road because he lives off it.”
She looked at him as her eyes started to glisten with tears.
“It’s going to be all right,” he repeated over and over as he held his cell phone to his ear.
