Amelia's POV
Days later, I threw up in the kitchen sink while I cooked with Pamela.
"Are you okay?" She screamed, standing to her feet from the chair she sat on, she rushed to my side and held me by my shoulder.
"Do you want water?" She asked when I said nothing in response to her question.
"I'm fine, Pamela," I quietly said, although I know I was not fine. I may be pregnant already, I told myself and sat on a chair.
"Don't say anything to Ethan," I made her promise.
"How am I sure you are even fine?" She asked, opposing me. "I am fine, Pamela," I promised her and she shook her head.
"I won't tell him," she ended up with a promise, "don't you think we should run a test on you?"
"What test?" I feigned innocence, even though I knew a test should be conducted, I was just too afraid to accept the fact.
Thessa's POV"I'm off to work, Tessa" Carl said one morning, he was dressed for his appointment with a certain small organization in the state."We should have a contract very soon," he praised, looking at himself in the mirror that hangs on the wall. He looked good in his outfit. I had bought the shirt at the boutique the last time I went shopping with some money from the allowance I receive from him every month."How good do I look?" He asked, returning to the bed to sit beside me. Just as I expected, I knew he would ask me this question."You look good, honey," I praised. We kissed shortly and he got back to his feet, smiling. "I would bring lunch to you at the office, I promised when he was at the door."He turned to stare at me with a look of surprise on his face. "Will you?" He asked. Did he not hear me the first time? I asked myself while I nodded, "yes, I will."&n
Amelia's POVThe feedback was given to Ethan the moment he got back home."Are you pregnant?" Was the first question he asked me. "Am I supposed to get the test results immediately?" I asked in reciprocation, "we should wait for sometime, maybe after my birthday before I can go back to get it."His nerves were calm after my words. "How was it at the office today?" I asked him, I have been looking for a possible means to change the topic the moment he came back and bombarded me with his questions.He nodded, obviously, he was not in the mood to have a chitchat, I, myself, was not in the mood for his questions.My birth date was rushing to show its face and for the first time, I realized I want to thank Ethan for what he has done for me, in a very small but classy way.What did he do for me? I asked myself at one point.Al
Amelia's POVEthan returned from work to hear the news of my pregnancy. It was just two weeks to my birthday and it felt so weird."Are you kidding?" He asked, looking at me. A grin was on his face and he burst out laughing the next moment. "Tell me you're serious," he pleaded and all I did was nod my head. "I'm pregnant," I added my words to make the scene a perfect one.He burst out laughing again before receiving the printed paper. "This is so true," he muttered, smiling. "Thank you," he told me this time, hugging me quickly and shortly."Thank you, too," I told him. He nodded and was on his side of the big bed again to sleep. "Can I keep this?" He asked before laying back on the bed. What do I need the envelope for? I asked myself, nodding my head at his request."Thank you," he greeted one more time before laying back to sleep. "Good morning," we greeted ourselves the next morning when we woke up. Life returned back to normal; Ethan went to his place of work. I, myself, continu
Luke's POVAfter the night with Isabella, I stayed with her in her place, until mid-day the next day before finally returning home to Scarlett again."Where have you been?""What have you been doing?""Who have you been with?" Questions I expected her to ask me the moment I stepped into the house.But no, the woman said nothing. She did not ask me any questions and I was very happy inside of me. At least, she is coming to the reality that I don't love her.If she was smart enough, she would see things and realize the truth on time.She should know that I loved Amelia more than I loved her. I don't even love her, if there is something I loved about her, it is the fact that she gave me sex, good sex anywhere more than Amelia was willing to give."I'm hungry," I told her when I got into the house. I got no r
Luke's POVThe most anticipated day came, finally. I woke up angry and the only person I could vent and rant on was Scarlett. I got up from the bed and my phone beeped. It was a text from Boss. "We deliver by evening, take the morning and afternoon off." It read.I was happy, not too happy because I will eventually take the girls to the airport. However, my day was brightened when I received a text from Isabella. "Again!" I heard myself scream. Does she ever get tired of sex? I thought as I was headed to the bathroom for a bath. Since I had the morning and afternoon off duty, I can go to Isabella's place to spend some time before heading to the warehouse. "I'm hungry," I told Scarlett before going to the bathroom. She nodded, said nothing and left the room. The next thing I heard were sounds coming from the kitchen area. She is cooking, I told myself and made for the bathroom with my towel that is always hanging on the wall. My phone beeped when I was halfway done with my bath.
Ethan's POVThe reaction on Amelia's face when the key and visa was handed to her on her birthday, gave a good feeling. I was happy, too happy that I did not eat the next morning before leaving for work."Thank you," she cried, hugging me. When was the last time we hugged as couples? I wondered, extending the hug just so I could feel more of her.It was for the moment, afterall, I don't know when next we will share a kiss, or a hug as husband and wife."Awww," Pamela screamed. "This is so fine!" She exclaimed. "Touch it already, aunty," she cried, "I want to touch it too."Amelia let out a laugh, "I have almost forgotten how to ride a car," she said and headed to the new lady. "It's beautiful," I heard her tell Pamela, she turned to look at me and I looked away immediately.Without wasting time, she hopped in on the car, Pamela took a seat
Amelia's POV"What did you say?""I'm serious, Amelia," Ethan answered.My tone was unusually different and there was shock written all over my face,Pamela walked in on us, asking after what happened. "It's okay," I told her and she left the scene again, going back to the kitchen to continue with the cooking."Human trafficking," Ethan said, this time he brought his voice lower than normal just so Pamela does not hear anything and shoots more questions at us."Jeez!""I don't know yet," he said this time, sitting up on the couch. "It's just what my men and I think it is. We are not certain, not yet.""I understand," I nodded.Ethan walked into the house that night, "I've got news from you," he told me. Initially, I imagined it was an update on my flight to Spain and got excited
Amelia's POVIt was a good thing to hear the approval of Pamela's trip with me to Spain, from the mouth of her mother.Perhaps, Pamela has been telling the granny something about me that made her approve immediately, I should ask Pamela.No, I won't."She is cute," I told Ethan when we got back that evening. The old woman gave fresh flowers to me from her garden, "this is all I have to give to you, Amelia," she referred to me by my name, for the first time since we arrived.I was careful enough to hold the bouquet with care, I wanted them in the centre of the living room."How did it go?" Ethan asked when we returned. He surprised Pamela and I with dinner."What did you cook, uncle?" Pamela asked, watching him walk out of the kitchen, holding two plates."I ordered, actually," he confessed, placing the pla
