LOGINI shook my head hurriedly in fear as I stared at Ethan’s wide eyes filled with disbelief.“No…no, that's not true,” I murmured, my hands raised before me as I waved it in the air.“What exactly is not true, Leah?” Jennifer snarled, snapping my gaze away from Ethan’s.“Are you not pregnant?” She hissed the words like rush were poison.Ethan gaze pierced into mine from where he stood, waiting patiently for my answer.“I am but…”“There you have it, Ethan.I told you I never told any lies,” she cut me off again smugly.“Leah has been carrying Tyler’s child for a while now.And that too right under your nose.She planned to use it against you.She planned to tell you about the child after some time—when you both have mended your relationship and she was sure you won’t refute.Her aim was to get you to believe the child is yours.Then, you’ll take care of another man’s child, give me your wealth.Proclaim him as your heir. The seed born from your wife’s infedility…”“Enough!” I screamed,
A familiar voice moaned loudly from the television echoing around the deathly silent room.Not a familiar voice—my voice.My hands moved to my eyes, and I wiped it endlessly wondering if maybe this was a dream, or I was seeing things.“I told no lies in the hotel room, Ethan.When I said everything I do is for the good of the Blackwoods family, that was not a lie either.I warned you to throw Leah out of your life earlier because I was trying to prevent this,” Jennifer sighed sadly, looking at a frozen Ethan whose eyes never left the video still playing.“Now look.Every news station is playing one thing.The sex video of the adulterous young madam of the Blackwood family and her lover…”“Turn it off!” Ethan gritted cutting Jennifer off.Her eyes widened as she stared at him in shock, her lips parted. “What?”“I said turn the video off!" He roared, throwing his phone directly at the glass screen of the television.I screamed in fear watching as glass scattered everywhere around the ro
My eyes widened as the words left my lips without thinking. “No.” The doctor's face twisted into a frown as she watched me in confusion. “What do you mean?” She asked.Nervousness ate its way inside me as I watched her.“I don’t want to tell my husband just yet.Like you said, the pregnancy test might not be very accurate.I don’t want to raise his hopes up only for the test to be wrong,” I lied through my teeth.Her eyes widened, understanding what I said as she nodded.A part of what I said was not a lie.There were still traces of truth within it.But the truth was that I was too scared to tell Ethan I was pregnant with his child.I was scared of his reaction—of what he’d say.I had no idea if Ethan even wanted a child with how his parents had raised him.And the last time I had been pregnant, he had said I was not worth carrying his heir.With everything happening with Jennifer and Tyler.No, I can’t risk telling him anything about me being pregnant now.When we have everything s
“No…no.I…you don’t understand.I can’t be pregnant,” the words choked in my chest, as I burst into a panic attack.The doctor stretched her hands, reaching for me as she clasped her soft hands around my sweaty ones.“There’s no need to be worried, Leah.It’s just a theory, and it might be wrong.And if you are pregnant, remember–the child’s fate always lies in your hands,” she said softly, and her last words made my head snap up.Staring deep into her eyes, I shook my head, knowing if I were actually pregnant.Her last words were definitely out of the box.After a few minutes, she spoke calmly. “Are you ready to take the test now?” I took in a deep breath, calming myself, as I nodded, my reply above a whisper. She smiled as if proud of my answer.Her hands moved beneath her table and she brought out three pregnancy test kits.“You can go in the bathroom, and pee on it.I’ll be out here waiting for you,” she said.A gust of air left my lips as my trembling hands took the kits from h
My mind turned blank at his words.My breathing choked, and every thought I had disappeared.Every denial and every anger faded as my world froze at his words.How this beautiful man could unravel me so easily was still a mystery to me.His hands slipped up my thigh, just finger light touches and my breathing turned ragged.The hairs on my legs stood, as his fingers traced near my center.Just one light brush at my wet spot on my panties had a soft moan slipping out my lips.My hands immediately shot up to grip his shirt, holding him tightly.I felt his lips on my ears as they curled into a smile at my actions.His fingers slipped past my panties and towards my core, and he gave it a light swipe making another moan slip out.His teeth grazed the tip of my ears, my heart pounded as the blood flowing through my veins soared hot.“I knew I’d find you wet,” he whispered teasingly, although I could clearly hear the strain in his voice.Telling me he was holding himself back too.“Ethan!”
“Yeah.I’m better,” the words left my lips sounding softer than I would have liked it.He said nothing, standing there as his gaze burned through my back.And I felt immensely awkward.“We are in a hospital.Just go and get yourself tested.It’s not normal to throw up in the morning.”The words finally left his lips, one which I knew he had been holding back all this while.His overprotectiveness finally reared its head.At least he was not forcing me now, I thought feeling grateful for that.“I said I’m fine.There’s really no need for that,” I muttered hearing how weak I sounded in his presence.I turned hurriedly, not wanting to look at his face right now.Anger filled me remembering the harsh words he had said to me outside the hotel.My mood swings surprised me, but I did not have time to think about that now, as I darted towards the door, not wanting to be in the same room with him.Only to stumble in my steps as dizziness rushed through me.My hands immediately grasped the sin
