A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 182
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

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
A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 185
WILLIAM P.O.VI stared at the results as I paced back and forth in the room. Ethan attempted to calm me down but his words weren't even helping one bit.“Can you just take a chill pill? You should be happy that you're going to b-no you're a father,” he proclaims.I didn't know whether to be happy or sad about it as the waves of my childhood memories hit me once more, words hunting me on how I was going to fail and be a terrible father.“Fuck!” I groaned out loud.I looked over at the desk to see Ethan, he placed a glass of whiskey on my table. I was a bit taken aback, he hands it to me and I gulp it down all at once.“Whoa!” He exclaims. “Can you calm down a bit? I think that you're taking this a bit too far,” he states.I decided to do as he had said, taking deep breaths multiple times as a way to help with the anxiety I was feeling. I closed my eyes, reminiscing on all the memories, most especially today's events.“Ethan,” I called out to him. “What if Gigi doesn't like me? What if
A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 186
GIANNAI gulped down another cup of my wine. I've been waiting for heaven knows how long for Ethan to show up and the anxiety was killing me.What if William found out the truth? He's never going to let me go scot-free and I'm going to be screwed. He might even end up taking me to jail.My career would be over. Who would take care of Gigi and my mom? I can't let that happen but good thing I had plan B activated just in case anything went wrong.I got all the passports ready just in case anything blows up. My career was already at risk and the only thing I need William for is to boost my name right now.I heard footsteps approaching, I ran out and was relieved to see that it was just Ethan. I was waiting for him all day and he just walked in, making a grand entrance like this wasn't just a big deal.“Why did it take you so long? Did you know how worried I was? I'm panicking right now,” I ranted out to him.He looked at me, a smile clear in his facial expression and I was already annoye
A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 187
WILLIAMA knock on the door snapped me right out of my thoughts and I turned to check the time. It was almost midnight and I knew who could be here at this hour. It was either Henry or Bailey.The knock became so persistent that I just couldn't ignore it and was left with no choice but to answer it. I opened the door and wasn't surprised to see Bailey. She was dressed in a sexy night gown and a robe to match. Her hair was tied up in a rough bun.Gosh! Was she trying to tempt me or what?I gulped down a large sum of my saliva, trying not to get intimidated by her appearance. It's almost midnight and she came looking like this?“William!” I heard her call, snapping me right out of my thoughts.I had just lost it for a while there that even to think straight was now a problem. What is she trying to do?I took a deep breath, analyzing the situation at hand. “It's almost midnight and I need to sleep so whatever the issue is you had better make sure that it's worth it.”She was taken aback
A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 188
BAILEYI opened up my eyes only to find myself in a hospital. I immediately jolted up from my bed but was more surprised when I realized that William was beside me. He had his eyes shut and his head placed backward.He was asleep and I couldn't help but smile at how cute he looked when he was asleep. I slowly moved my hands to his hair, massaging it gently. He smiled a bit and I could tell that he was enjoying it.He opened up his eyes slowly, I panicked and rushed to pretend like I was sleeping. I heard him chuckle, more in the form of mocking me. Did he know that I was caressing his hair?“You know that you don't have to pretend to be sleeping right?” I heard him say.There was no hiding it anymore. I slowly removed the blanket and looked at him with a smile on my face. “How're you feeling? You must be hungry, Agatha brought something for you to eat claiming you might not like hospital food, I'd get it for you.” He rushed to get up but I was quick to stop him before he could make a

WILLIAM’S P.O.V“Ohh my God! That's amazing,” Aunt exclaimed and she got up, immediately running to hug Bailey, hugging her rather very tightly. I could tell that she was feeling uncomfortable but just trying to adhere to the situation.“I'm so happy that you're pregnant. I've always wanted to be a grandmother, Matthew and I have always had this fear that William would never have a child considering how stuck up he was but everything worked out just fine, i can't wait to tell Matthew,” she squeals in excitement.I was glad that she was happy at least but the only person who didn't have much of an excited expression on her face was Gianna. I wasn't expecting anything from her though.“Daddy,” Gigi called out to me. “What's happening?” She asked, her voice timid and soothing.I took a deep breath, enjoying her innocence. “Well, you're about to be a big sister, Gigi,’’ I announced.“Yay!” She yelled out in delight. “I'm going to be a sister. I've always wanted a sister because I wouldn't

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
A PACT TO LOVE Chapter 196
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
