Just Got Lucky (BOOK 1) 37
37L I N D Y The following evening, after we drove Gwyneth to the airport for her flight back to London and bid her a temporary goodbye, Milo and I decided to have dinner in a restaurant. As much as I wanted Gwyneth to join us, she had to leave because she still had paperwork to finish we soon as she gets back. The paps were literally following us everywhere we went to and it was almost pathetically getting me a little annoyed. Despite the struggle of being surrounded and followed, I felt happy knowing that I was finally able to hold his hands in public again as we walked along the streets of Connecticut. It just proved to everyone who doubted our relationship that we are still together and that the news about our breakup was never true. There were even fans coming up to our table asking for a picture and Milo was just kind enough to smile for the camera and sign autographs. Personally, I think they should have respected Milo’s personal time since he was having a meal but then he

38L I N D YIn a blink of an eye, we arrived in Canada a day early than what we planned for. I skipped classes and told my professors in advance that I had a personal family problem back home that I needed to take care of it. They were generous enough to tell me that I can still catch up with the lessons and that I needn’t to worry because I had high grades.I was beyond thankful that Milo came with me and had to pay for the flight. He was the one who orchestrated that I should head back home and reassured me that he would not leave me in these trying times. I was glad he came with me, I needed him.When we were driving to the hospital where my mom was being admitted, my entire body just felt absolutely shaky because I cannot stop thinking and worrying about my mother. This was not the perfect time to tell them that I am pregnant and I think Milo understands this. My dad is already going through a lot because of my mom’s heart attack and I don’t want him to worry more for me. “Hey.”

39L I N D YLater that day, Milo and I spent the entire time with my mother while dad was the one who settled her hospital bills since she will be discharged tomorrow. I was amazed at how Milo was so good at keeping a conversation going despite the age gap that they both have and he even made my mother feel a little happier. He was incredibly good at entertaining people.Dad decided to go home to shower and change his clothes so we decided to stay with mom for the night. I was beyond thankful that Milo was here with me and guarding my mom even if there was only one long couch for us to sleep on.“Where would you sleep?” I ask Milo as we lounge on the sofa while mom had fallen asleep soundly on her bed.“You don’t need to worry about that.” Milo smiles. “I can always sleep while I am sitting down.”“This means a lot to me, Milo.” I smile back at him as he pulls me in so he can kiss my temple.Suddenly the door opens and there enters Avery who had her eyes glued on our mom who has been

40L I N D Y“Are you pregnant?!”I squirmed inwardly as my tears were beginning to stream all over my face. “I am, mom. Dad.”Dad went undeniably speechless that all he did was crash back to the sofa and cried while my mom was holding him. It was really heartbreaking to see that both of my parents are crying and I am actually the reason why. At this point in my life, I absolutely didn’t know what else to do but to cry and cry.“Who is the real father?” Dad asks.“Milo.” I answered firmly and quickly. “Of course, it’s Milo.”“Why is Jake claiming that he is? What really happened to you while you were away from home Lindy? God, I don’t know where your mother and I went wrong.” Dad cries.I was confused too and I had no idea how Jake knew about my pregnancy, Moreover, why would he claim something that was never his in the first place? All of the words that Milo told me about Jake enter my head and how it’s making me feel more hurt thinking about it.“Dad, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” I cri

41J A K E Hours passed after I overheard Lindy and her conversation with Milo through the phone, I decided to give her belly a study, I already thought of a good plan to redeem my fame back and to get me back in the game. It was not really that difficult, I just have to swallow my pride and focus on my dreams and what I want to do in life which is more important. “You look happy.” I pulled my head up and found Calvin joining me with my breakfast. I know he has been meaning to talk about the situation we are both in and I know he has been waiting for Lindy to leave for school. He had been totally annoying ever since he knew about Lindy and if only I wasn’t after his money then I would have dumped his sorry ass instead. “Yeah, I feel good.” I answered. He sits across me with that stupid look on his face which annoys me. “Why do you look at me like I did something wrong?” I can’t help but ask. “Because that girl is living in my freaking house!” “That girl is good.” I responded.

42L I N D Y Everyone in the courtroom was whispering discreetly to one another, which created a highly tensed environment. I cast a quick glance at Milo, who joined the group there to express his support for the ongoing trial. He smiles at me comfortingly, and with that, I started to feel a little better even though there is this constant pounding inside my chest and my head.It is going to be okay. I reminded myself numerous times and I think I had gotten used to having that as an incantation whenever things would go wrong.I returned the smile before turning to look at Jake, who was sitting in his chair and appeared to be frustratingly cool and collected which annoys me so much seeing him and that unbothered look on his face. Why does this cretin have such a professional-looking posture? He seemed to have done nothing wrong even though he is the culprit of this all. He really has the audacity to act as though he has not done anything wrong.This freaking bastard.However, I had th

43L I N D Y The night before the trial, it was hard to trust Calvin the moment I found him standing outside my house covered in bruises. I even thought that he wore make-up just to fool us.When he claimed that he had proof against Jake, my heart was elated but then at the same time, I was indecisive about trusting him. It was so hard knowing that he is friends with Jake. At first, I thought Jake used him as a bait to fool us but then the moment Calvin actually cried, like bawling his tears out right in front of me and Milo, I knew he was going through something.The revelations last night were an eye-opener to me that anyone is actually willing to ruin anybody’s career and life for their own benefit. What hurt the most is that I thought he was actually a well-trusted friend of mine but turns out that he was just using me for his advantage.Milo and I felt pity for Calvin and what he had gone through. At the same time, we were so thankful that he tried to speak up and approach us be

44M I L OI woke up from my sleep in the middle of the night and found Lindy sitting on the single couch reading a book while she was facing the floor-to-ceiling glass window. She has always been like this since the trial started and I am worried about how she is coping up with her studies while juggling this trial at the same time.I know she has been worried and she’s even tried avoiding watching the news and reading social media because she has always been worried about what the people would say. Also, I wanted her to do so since she wouldn’t take more stress in her life especially now that she is pregnant.I slowly rise from the bed and as soon as she saw me sitting up, she smiles weakly. “You’re still awake.” I tell her as I grab my phone from the side table begin to walk towards her.“I tried to sleep but I just can’t.”As I stand in front of her, I pulled out my palm towards her, “Come.”She puts her book down and giggles as she takes my hand with a smile, “And where will you
