Chapter 93: Months Apart

ALLYSA'S POV

All through the ride back home, my hands were glued to my stomach, clutching it tightly. I knew Max was gonna ask me questions and I think it's best I come open with him.

“Are you okay?” Max asked, driving into our driveway as I sighed. Finally I'd be able to hit the bathroom and have a nice sleep cause my legs were killing me.

“I'm fine though it's not everyday one finds out she's pregnant.” We both chuckled at that as our eyes met.

“I think I'm gonna have to come open about this and tell you the truth.” I said and he furrowed his brows.

“What do you mean?” He asked as we got down from the truck as he assisted me into my house. “I didn't exactly come here for anything, I was running away from home.” He seemed more confused now.

“You see I was married, a contract marriage actually. I never wanted to get married but my father insisted so I had to obey.

“It was a loveless marriage, he usually called it a charade.” I laughed dryly but I guess Max didn't hear a joke in it.
