Chapter 5

Amelia was still dazed and confused at the news of her pregnancy not knowing what exactly to do next with her life. She got home and avoided her aunt and her husband in order not to be found out.

"Amelia" her aunt called the next morning when she realised Amelia was still sleeping when she was supposed to be ready for school.

"Amelia… Ameliaaaa!! She called again after several times of not getting any reaction from her. She went straight to Amelia's bedroom only to find her still sleeping. She immediately slapped her and Amelia jumped.

"Holy shit" Amelia spat as the slap landed on her cheek.

"What in heaven's name are you still doing lying stupidly like a log of dead timber on that bed when you are supposed to be on your way to school you little scallywag" she yelled.

"Good morning Aunty, I didn't realise what time it was already" Amelia managed to speak as she caressed her face which was badly burning from the slap".

"Hmmm… I see you are beginning to toil with your studies.

Fernandez asked as he immediately dropped the bags on the floor and ran towards his parent."I don't know, we were just arguing about something a while ago and then this," he said truthfully. "Arguing dad? You were arguing with Mum? How could you put her through such anxiety? She is not fully recovered Dad" he yelled and immediately carried his mother to the bedroom to lay her on the bed."Breath mum, breath," he said to his mother who continued to gasp for air. "Let me call the doctor," he said and quickly dialled the doctor who picked up immediately. "Hello doctor, please I need you to come over ASAP. My mum just suffered an attack" he said and hung up.

I have told you I will get married when I find the right one for me.I haven't found anyone who is genuinely in love with me. They all want my money and name, they are only interested in what I represent.

You've made it a habit to not return home any longer after work huh?" she queried"It's not like that Aunty, something came up that prevented me from coming back last night," Amelia said"And you didn't think you needed to call or send a message? It's not like I care anyways, so long as you have the money to give to me for this month's bill, you can stay wherever the hell you like" her aunt said and Amelia chuckled. She bit her lower lips and was quiet for a moment before summoning the courage to respond to her aunt. "Well A

    Amelia stood impatiently waiting to hear from Rosa. After about fifteen minutes without Rosa in sight, she decided to walk into the building to Mr Rasmus' office. As she approached his office, she heard Mr Rasmus' voice and her heart raced. "I can't keep having her here. Amelia has been a good staff, hard-working, dedicated and committed, no doubt. However, her recent sense of laxity is messing things up and I can't put up with that. Such an attitude is bad for business.Why would she leave the company without any form of notification whatsoever?

    Amelia just stood without saying anything. Her brain was communicating to her but her lips were too numb to part ways to produce a sound. She blinked several times not knowing whether to tell the truth or trying to act ignorant. She kept stuttering until Rosa shook her"Answer me, Amelia, are you pregnant" she asked again, this time her voice was louder than the first time.Amelia scanned around to be sure no one was listening to their conversation. She looked down at her fingers as she nibbled them"Can you please bring down your voice?" she said nervously to Rosa who was stunned and angry at the same time."Tell me the truth Amelia or I will raise my voice even higher" Rosa threatened.Amelia sniffled and wiped her sweaty palms on her dress. She tried to reach Rosa, however, she stepped backwards"I'm listening, Amelia, speak now" she commanded. "Oh Rosa," Amelia whimpered, "I'm so sorry for lying to you all this while.
