A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 177
BAILEY P.O.VThe entire place was set up for the ceremony and to be honest I didn't know why rich people like to exaggerate their parties.The entire decoration was to kill for and then be precise, it looked amazing but I hadn't even seen any sign of Aunt Celia. She invited us here to stay for a week but yet I haven't even seen a glimpse of her.She didn't show up once this past week and I'm guessing that there's something more behind the stay and that's why she asked us all to come. It was nice though because in some sort of way, I was able to get closer to William and also adventure in a new city."Hello ma'am," I heard and turned around to see a gorgeous blonde-haired girl looking at me with a vibrant smile on her face.I looked around trying to make sure that it was me. "Me?" I asked and she nodded in response."Do you need help or something?" I asked her. She handed me a bag and said, "Sir Williams said to give this to you. He said to make sure that you wear it to the party toni

BAILEY P.O.VI didn't know where we were headed either, but he just dragged me to an unfamiliar place. I didn't have any idea where we were and was sure that I hadn't been there before."Woah, what's this place?" I stared in awe as I looked around, happy by the sight.I didn't even know that such a place existed in the mansion and to think that he brought me here was even more surprising."What's this place?" I asked."The helicopter is coming to pick us up in five minutes. I've alerted Ethan and Gianna, they'd be following us," he informed me.I didn't know why but my heart sank at that moment. I thought that we would just have some time to ourselves. I stood there, almost freezing. We were up on the rooftop and my gown wasn't adhering to the cold.I felt someone wrap a jacket around me. My body hitched but relaxed a bit after realizing that it was just Williams. He has a shirt on but I still felt for him."Aren't you cold?" I asked him, feeling worried that I might be a bit selfish.

WILLIAMS P.O.VShe ran past me and I could tell that she was very embarrassed. She refused to even talk to me about it. I wanted to know what was going on with her but there she was hiding it away from me even refusing to go see the doctor.It was her body though and I would never think of forcing her to do what she didn't want to do but just thought that a doctor's appointment would be right because who knows what might be wrong with her and the reason why she was even hiding it.But I so wanted to know what was the reason for her vomiting like that. It didn't seem normal and that was why a doctor would be necessary in this case.Someone knocked on my bedroom door which snapped me out of my thoughts as I was now more curious about the things around me."Come in."Henry walked in with a bunch of files with him and I took a deep breath, feeling annoyed that immediately after coming back from Rome the first thing I was met with was work."More work?" I sarcastically asked. He laughed a

WILLIAMSAll the evidence was laid in front of me and the fact that she got pregnant right after two months after she left for Paris for her photo shoot and I didn't remember much but remembered that we had sex around that time."No, I can't believe this. This is all a lie and you only sleep around anyway so why should I believe you?" I retorted.She scoffed and rolled her eyes at me."Why are you arguing? All the evidence is right here in front of you and you are still doubting me."I couldn't believe all the claims and allegations she was boldly accusing me of without even thinking twice and I've never felt too furious in my life that this is how I'm treated."Are you kidding me? You expect me to believe you after I freaking caught you in bed with one of my friends," I reminded her.Her face was flushed and I couldn't help but remember that day. My heart broke that day and that was the day I realized that I had always felt something for her.She betrayed me after everything we've bee

GIANNA*ETHAN'S House*"How did it go?" Ethan raised a question, as soon as I walked in. I just ignored him and sat on the couch, I was thinking of ways to to stop the feeling inside of me.What he said brought a lot of nostalgic feeling inside of me and I just couldn't control it I felt somewhat guilty and sad but I was also a naive girl.I was just a young girl in my twenties and what I did was not to be justified but even he knew that I had my reasons for doing so and could most definitely not judge me.Ethan came beside me and sat in my direction. "You've been moody ever since you got back, what's the issue?" He inquired.I let out a sigh and started explaining, "It's Williams. I started discussing with him and the things he said just sort of overwhelmed me and I don't know why but I felt sad like I was some sort of criminal."Ethan started laughing hard I got mad because this was a serious situation and I was in no mood to make any laughs about it."Can you be serious?" I kicked

ETHAN’S P.O.VI walked into Williams's mansion. I didn't know what he wanted to talk about but I was certain that it was about Gianna.I made my way towards his study and on getting there, I saw Williams seated on his chair with his face in his palm.“William,” I called, touching his shoulder gently and he jerked up to look at me, his expression eased up on realizing that it was me.“What's up?” I took a seat beside him, playing with the little antiques on his desk.“Nothing is fine Ethan. Absolutely nothing is fine,” he responded. I looked at him with a confused gaze, surprised by his outburst.“Ok, can you explain in full detail? I don't understand,” I emphasized.He took a deep breath and started explaining, “It's Gianna. She came here about an hour ago and she told me the worst news ever.”“What was that?” I asked, knowing fully well what his reply was going to be.“She revealed that the reason she came back was because we had a child together. Could you believe that?” He scoffed
A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 183
WILLIAM’S P.O.VGianna walked in with an awfully cute little girl in her arms. My mouth went dry as they approached me.The little girl held a smile on her face while Gianna looked a bit anxious but I couldn't exactly pinpoint what the problem was all about.“Hello William,” she greeted.I gave her a tight-lipped smile and ushered her to sit. She sat on the chair in front of me, I tried hard not to meet up with her gaze that was lingering on me.I scanned the little girl, exhibiting all of her features to see if any were coerced with mine. She had long dark brown curly hair and blue eyes, she smiled at me revealing her dimples.I have to agree that she had most of the features of Gianna. She was the perfect replica of Gianna.“I didn't mean to create such an impromptu meeting,” I began saying. “But I think it's for the best, It's so we can wrap this up.”She nods in response. “What do you want then?” She asked.I hesitated for a bit, looking down at the girl. “What's her name?” I ask
A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 184
ETHAN P.O.V“But Mr Reid, that's illegal and if I get caught I could lose my license or worst of all end up behind bars. Do you know what that would cost me?” He said.“I don't care what it would cost you, all I know is that you should have the job done and it should be done really well if you don't want me to go public with the information I have,” I threatened.He didn't look too at ease with it, I didn't want to have to go this far but he made me pull out the big guns.“I could lose my job and my license? That would cost me a huge loss, my daughter is in college please don't do this to me, please Mr Reid” he pleaded.I thought this won't be necessary but now I have to make do with it. I brought out my phone, showing him a photo of his daughter and wife tied to a chair.I knew he was faithful to his job and William so this would be the best way to make him do just what I wanted.“Are you going to do it now or should I go ahead with plan B and trust me Reynolds you don't want to know

EPILOGUE A few months later…Bailey's POV I sighed as I finally laid Arlo to sleep after all the crying. I looked at his peaceful face and couldn't help but notice how much he looked like William.After a lot of horrible suggestions from William and Shayna. We finally agreed to name him Arlo after William's grandfather, it was either that or John Cena. And I was not gonna name my son after William's favorite wrestler or after Shayna's favorite rapper.I quietly left the room in search of William. It had been a very long day and I hadn't seen much of him. Matthew had thrown us a huge party to celebrate the renewal of our marriage vows and I was tired from all the rush and excitement.I opened the door to our room to find him asleep, at least that's what I thought. I went into the bathroom to take a shower and came back to lay beside him. It wasn't even up to 5 minutes when I heard Arlo crying through the baby monitor. I groaned in utter frustration and

A few months later…Bailey's POV “Thank you for coming with me,” I said as I adjusted my seatbelt. “You don't need to thank me, according to this book, it's my duty.” He said, pointing to the pregnancy help book on his lap, William has been reading a lot of these pregnancy help books over the weeks and I personally think the author sucks. Just last week, he kept trying to convince me to go for something called a vagina steam, and don't get me started on the time he practically coerced me into making a mayonnaise face mask. How does that help the baby? William pushing a stray strand of hair to my ear brought me out of my thoughts. He shifted it back a little so that it was not too tight on my belly. He was always so cautious and passionate when it came to my belly and he had no idea how happy and secure that made me feel. “Thank you. I'm tired already, I can't wait for him to come out.” I grumbled, touching my belly. He chuckled. “I gotta admit, pregnancy suits you.” He teased me

Bailey's POVThe gates of the mansion opened up as I pressed the entry code, as I got to the big doors I saw Agatha “Oh, child.” Agatha said, running to me when she spotted me. Worry was written all over her face. I was surprised to see her seeing as William wasn't sure she would come back after he jailed Gianna. “Agatha.” I smiled at her and entered the living room. She glanced at my stomach and I noticed her eyes got watery. “Oh, Bailey.”“It's been so long aunt, how have you been?” I asked her and she hugged me. I didn't resist. I hugged her back. She must be going through quite a rough time herself, I thought.“Erm.. I'm so sorry about Gianna.” There was a moment of silence and then she spoke.“You don't have to apologize for anything, child. She made her own choices and she has to own up to the outcome, hm?” She said, holding my chin, and smiling. I forced a smile too.“I'm so glad you're back. Should I make you something? You must be so tired.”“Noo, I am not um… I won't be lo

Matthew's POV“It all started when I fell sick, some months after William turned 9. I fell into a coma during my sleep and woke up with a stroke.”I recounted and Bailey gasped in shock.“Ohh my God! I am so sorry, that must have been horrible” she replied, tears welling up in her eyes.“It was and there is no need to feel sorry for me. It happened years ago,” I replied and she nodded. I know I was a bit harsh with my words but I absolutely despised it when people felt pitied for me. I continued talking, and Bailey inched closer.“My life was shambles. Vannessa wasn't working then and I was the main provider for my family. It was also the worst timing because prior to that horrible day, I remember making plans for us to take a trip.. I wanted to make an extra effort to bond with them and have a good time, as Vanessa always complained that I spent too much time working and was almost never at home.” I took a deep breath before speaking up again.“It wasn't entirely my fault I was alway

3 MONTHS LATER…Bailey's POV“Yes Shayna, I'm just getting home. I'm about to climb the stairs.” I said, balancing the grocery bag in my other hand.“Take the elevator. Why are you using the stairs, are you trying to kill my baby?” she squealed.“Your baby?” I asked.“You know what I mean! But just take the elevator Bails,” “If you must know, I got to the elevator and saw it was under repairs. According to Richard, it broke down in the morning. Besides, using the stairs would mean exercising, it keeps the baby active.”“Okay. How was the appointment? What did the gyne say?”“Nothing negative, Ultrasound is done, baby's fine. He said we'll be able to determine the baby's sex by next week.” I said and she squeaked happily.“Okay cool but don't wait up for me today, I'll be home late. I'm going out with Scott today.” “You guys have been doing a lot of that lately, but you claim it's nothing serious.” I mocked. “Yes, because it's nothing serious. Get your mind out of the gutters, Baile

Bailey's POV“What.. What's this, William? Divorce papers? W..why?” I asked, my voice trembling and breaking as I stared at William who types away on his phone. “Don't ask me why. Just sign the damn papers.” He replied, his eyes still fixed on his phone. He didn't bother to meet my eyes. “But this..this means..”“I know exactly what this means, Bailey. I breached the contract, so I'm gonna pay you. Henry would handle that aspect. Now, please, sign the goddamn papers.” He said, finally putting the stupid phone away. I don't know if it was the pregnancy hormones kicking in, but I hate that stupid phone.“I wasn't talking about the money, I-”“Bailey I really don't have time to waste. Sign these.” My leg started growing weak. I sniffed. I had been trying very hard to stop myself from crying but my voice was giving me off. I had to sniff to push the emotions in. “B.. But what about your grandfather's will? Your inheritance? How are you going to get..”I said, my voice breaking. “I don

Bailey’s P.O.V“William what…where have you been? No, don't answer that. I have never been so glad to see you. Did yo.. did you hear what Ethan said about gian-“Yes, I heard everything.” he replied with a sad look on his face. He looked tired and uninterested with what I had to say. I slowly observed his appearance and the sound of something dripping caught my attention. That was when I noticed the massive trail of blood around William, I gasped when I saw his bloody knuckles.“W.. William, what happened to you? Why… let me go get the first aid box,” I stammered as words failed me. “Just stay here, I'll be ba–”“Don’t bother, I can take care of myself,” he cut me off and turned around heading towards the kitchen door. “Wait, where are you going? I called out to him, “You can't leave me here. What about Ethan? W… what are we gonna do about him?” I whispered that last part out.“Nothing, I’m going upstairs to take a shower and as for Ethan, leave him. The cops will be here any minute
A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 191
Bailey’s POVBang! A loud crash jolted me up from my sleep, I rubbed my eyes groggily to try to make sense of my surroundings when I heard another crash, it sounded like it was coming from downstairs. I reached for my phone to check the time and saw it was the dead of the night. I couldn't help but wonder where William was and who could be causing such a commotion.“What's going on,” I mumbled in a sleep state as I rushed downstairs, the kitchen seemed to be the source of the noise. The kitchen was in a mess, broken plates, broken silverware, everything was in a mess and Ethan was in the middle of it all, he was standing there in a disheveled state, his hair was a mess and there were dark circles under his eyes it looked like he hasn't slept for days. I was still taking in his features when he threw an empty wine bottle on the floor causing an ear shrieking noise.“Ethan,” I called out my voice trembling, “What…what are you doing,” I asked, “what are you doing here so late at night?”
A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 190
BAILEYThe past week has been so weird, everyone's attention has just been weirdly fixed on me, especially William. I noticed that he's becoming more caring and always following me for doctor appointments whenever he has the time.It's nice of him to do so and I would never complain of such but it does seem a little fishy. I had always thought that he wouldn't want to even like the idea of having a baby, especially since Gigi is in the picture but he's different.And not once did he even opt for things like abortion or divorce. He's being so mature about it, I had expected earlier on for things to go much worse than this.I heard a knock on my door and it was like I was talking about the devil. I looked up to see Williams holding a coconut oil in his hands. I smiled admiring his peaceful nature. “Hey you,” he walked over to my side, sitting close to me on the bed.“Hi, how have you been?”“Good, just bought this for you,” he brought out the oil. I was about to collect it but he immed
