FALCON'S POV Leonie didn't stop nagging and yelling all through the ride back to my villa and I was extremely annoyed. I drove through the automatic gates and parked in the garage before alighting as I strode into the building.“Falcon!” She yelled after me and I ignored her as I stepped into the living room.“Falcon!” She persisted and I knew she wouldn't stop. Leonie isn't one to give up easily.“Falcon, I'm not done talking, you have to listen to me, what was the meaning of—-”“I want to be left alone,” I stated sternly, cutting her off when I could no longer tolerate her excesses and there was a look of disbelief in her eyes.“Really? You want me to leave because of that thing? Is there something you're not telling me? Have you been having an affair with her? Am I just the pawn in this game?!” She hollered at the top of her voice and I facepalmed myself frustratedly.“Shut the door after you,” I concluded and headed straight to my room, leaving her befuddled.I knew she was furio

BETH'S POV “I'm here to– apologize for being so incompetent. I know—I know no amount of words can justify my actions but please, I'm sorry. I don't think I can live with this guilt–” She paused midway, sniffling and my brows creased, wondering what she meant.I was confused and dejected but I still had conscience and human sympathy. “What do you mean, Doctor Vivian?” I asked as I watched her wipe off her tears with the hem of her coat.“I’m going ahead to report the issue to the hospital authorities. I can't keep you against your will and Mr Gray is not one to be trifled with. I don't want to be selfish–” She turned around and left the room before I could give her a response and I suddenly became emotional.My life was involved, so was hers. Everyone could make a mistake and though I was hurt, I didn't feel she should be punished for it. “Layla– Please, stop her from going ahead.” I pleaded with Layla as I was already too weak to hop off the bed. I knew my legs would give out and I

BETH'S POV “Babe, what do you mean? You want this nitwit to bear your child?!” His lover asked with a shocked expression on her face.“You must be joking, right?” Layla asked and he shot her a glare. I was too weak to speak. I just used the atom of strength I had to remain conscious as I watched the scene unfold.“The baby must be kept. The mistake has been made and no child of mine shall be aborted,” He went further to declare and I coughed.“That's impossible! This is doctor Vivian's mistake and she should be bearing the consequences, not Beth. She has an exam in a week and she can't afford to miss that exam for anything in the world,” Layla shot back fiercely at him.“I'm talking about my child, a Gray and you're talking about some fucking exam? She's coming with me to have the child and that's final,” He stated and I scoffed.“No!”“No! Falcon, that won't happen. You want this woman to bear your child? What then happens to me? Never! I can't let that happen.” Leonie hollered at

FALCON'S POV I was preparing for an extremely important meeting when I got a call from Leonie. The urgency in her voice made me leave my personal assistant in charge and I quickly proceeded to drive down to the hospital. I even went as far as beating traffic to arrive on time, only for me to walk in on the childish commotion. She ran into my arms like a frightened doll, sweating profusely and the tension in the room was heavy.I lifted my gaze and saw the sickly figure across the room whose gaze was fixed on me and I couldn't wrap my head around where I had seen her before. Her face seemed familiar and I wondered if we once had an encounter.I glanced at Leonie, whose arms were firmly wrapped around me, and I lifted her chin to meet my gaze, asking what was wrong, but she flashed me a childlike pout and buried her face in my chest again.I sighed frustratedly and glanced at the doctor whose head was hung low. “Doctor Vivian, what's going on here?” I asked, waiting for a response and

BETH'S POV Rays of light streamed through my eyes in a parallel beam and my lashes flickered as I tried to adjust to the brightness of the room. An intense ache in my head made me let out an inaudible yelp as I held my forehead and realised there was a bandage. My eyes widened, and I caught sight of Layla, who was dozing off on a seat beside the bed. I glanced at my surroundings and realised I was actually in a hospital. I was putting on a dress similar to the one I wore the last time I came for treatments and everything began to make sense. “You're awake,” A nurse voiced out with a smiley face as she approached me on the bed and the sound of her voice made Layla jolt back from slumberland.“Bethy!! You're awake!!” She hollered happily, hugging me tightly and I smiled weakly.“How long have I been here, Layla?” I asked, recalling the events that took place before I lost consciousness.“Over a week,” She replied and I was left bewildered. “A week?” I asked in shock and the nurse no

BETH'S POVSurrounded by the trio I hated the most in this college, I stood helplessly, hoping Clement would come to my aid as usual, but the reality that we were actually done, became vivid. “Clement never loved you. As the hottest boy in Blue Ridge College, he wanted to prove to Rick and Jake here that he could get in your pants, which he did successfully. I thought you were a saint, always proving to be better than every other girl but now I know you're just a shameless whore!!!” She hollered in my face with hatred looming in her eyes and I let out a sardonic chuckle, unable to believe what I just heard. “Clement, tell me she's kidding. That's not true, right?” I asked, holding on to the last string of hope I had.“So naive. Clement actually wanted to prove to us that even weirdos could fall in love and he did it so swiftly. Mind you, the stake was just $10,000. That's how cheap you are!” Jake scoffed and my already broken heart ripped into a million pieces.I hated to seem weak
