"You are pregnant, ms. Natasha," the doctor declared as he handed over the pregnancy test result to her. Her heart sunk to her belly, she was shocked to the gut. Pregnant? How? It was just a one night stand, how could it lead to pregnancy?
"Doctor, I only had sex once and I used a pill after sex, are you sure this test result is correct?" Natasha asked. She was still young, although she's done with her first degree, she was yet to get a job plus she's not even mentally stable to raise a child at the moment.
It's been six weeks that she had caught her fiancé having sex with his female staff. It's been six weeks since she had sex with that stranger at the club.
For the past two weeks, she had began to experience some weird symptoms. Firstly, her period was absent and then she started spitting more often than usual, she find herself sleeping alot and she feels dizzy most of the times. She found out she was urinating even more frequently and vomiting very often. She had to book an appointment with the doctor to find out what could be wrong with her.
She could have guessed it was pregnancy but she used a pill after sex when she got home after the unplanned one night stand.
"Pills after sex doesn't work hundred percent of time. it fails sometimes. You are clearly pregnant, it's obvious," the doctor spoke affirmatively.
She let out a sigh.
"Don't stress yourself about it, miss. Natasha. The pregnancy is less than two months so abortion is safe." The doctor advised. "I'll advise you take out time to think over what to do as regarding the pregnancy."
She needs to find that man that she had a one night stand with and inform him. If he's not interested in the pregnancy, then she will have to abort it. But if he is, then they must talk about the future of the baby. Natasha thought.
"Indeed." She stood and added, "I'll think about it and let you know my decision."
She watched the doctor nod after which she walked out. On getting inside her car, she bursted into tears. How could she get pregnant for a stranger? She remembered how the stranger had thrown a sum of money to her after sex that night, as though she was a slut. How could that type of man be a father of her unborn baby?
After crying for a few minutes, she cleaned the tears on her face and started the ignition of the car. She drove straight to the club she had gone to six weeks ago.
On stepping inside, she saw that the club was empty, of course, this was still morning and majority of people are fond of clubbing at night.
Should she have come here at night? But even if she comes at night, what's the probability that she will find him? She walked inside the club nonetheless and saw a few men seated, while a few workers were cleaning. She didn't know whom to approach exactly, she didn't know that stranger's name but at least, she knows how he looked like.
All of sudden, she heard steps behind and she turned, she was stunned to see an elegant man with a familiar face and about ten escorts, all dressed in an Italian tuxedo suits, walk inside the club. She recognized the elegant man at once, he's that stranger that she had a night stand with six weeks ago.
How does she go to meet him without looking awkward, she was nervous. She watched as the ten escorts lead him to meet three Turkish men that were already seated in a special seats at the club.
She couldn't help but wonder whom the man was, for the air around him exudes both nobility and grace. He looked like a young emperor. She summoned courage and walked swiftly towards him but before she could get to where the man sat, the escorts stopped her.
"I need to see your boss," she shouted so that the elegant man can hear her.
"Please leave." One of the escorts warned her.
"I need to see him, it's urgent," Natasha raised her voice even louder.
The escorts that were blocking her from meeting this elegant man suddenly gave way and then she saw the tall and handsome figure standing right before her. It was that man that she had a night stand with weeks ago. He had obviously heard her voice and walk up to attend to her.
"I'm sure you still remember me, right?" Natasha asked but his face only exudes ignorance, as though he had never seen her before, "the woman you had one night stand with six weeks ago at this club?"
"I can't count the number of women I've had one night stands with here, what do you want?" He asked emotionlessly.
Her nervousness grew. Should she just walk away? He doesn't look like someone that would even accept the pregnancy?
But it won't be bad if he knows, "I'm pregnant for you."
The three Turkish men behind let out a scoff, as though she had cracked a joke. Even the escorts of the elegant man standing around couldn't help but look at her amusingly, as though she was a crazy woman. She felt greatly embarrassed.
However, the man before her still have a facial expression that is void of emotions. "They are scoffing at you cause they know you are lying."
"I'm not lying. You are the only person I've had sex with," she said and heard giggles again.
"There are several women that had tried this gimmick. Their end is always disastrous." His voice held an harsh tone of warning.
Gimmick? He thought she was lying?
She opened her mouth in an attempt to utter more convincing words but he cut her off,, "I'll pardon you this time for disrupting my peace. But if you appear before me again, I won't be kind."
What! Natasha bursted into tears. She just couldn't hold it anymore.
Unmoved by her tears, the elegant man turned majestically and said to one of his escorts, "give this woman some cash and send her away."
Natasha cried even more. Is everything about money to him? And how rich is he to think he can solve everything with money? "I don't need your money." Natasha quickly blurted out. Now cleaning the many tears on her face.
One of the escorts swiftly stretched to her a big backpack containing loads of cash. She looked at it with disdain and spat on it. "To hell with this money."
She turned and wobbled out, her heart shattering, she was beyond broken. She will abort this baby and that's final. She can't carry a baby whose father has refused to accept. Plus she's just about starting a new phase of her life and that doesn't include having a baby.
She drove back straight to the hospital, when she got there, she found t
he doctor and told him, "I've made my decision, I'm aborting the baby."
A resounding slap landed on Natasha's cheek. She had just being slapped by her father, "you disgraceful daughter! How did you get pregnant? Huxley said he had never laid with you." Huxley was her ex fianceé, the bastard who cheated on her. Natasha didn't know how her father found out she was pregnant. Apart from the doctor that already knew, she hadn't revealed it to anyone yet. Holding her burning cheek that had just been slapped, her father, Mr. Lewis, continued, "you have brought shame to me. Did you know how much we stand to benefit if you get married to the Powell's family. Huxley was infact the second son of the Powell's family. The Powell's family were one of the upper class families in Leaf City. And they are widely known for their prominence and wealth. "Dad, I caught Huxley having sex with one of his female employee," Natasha defended herself. "And so?" Lewis asked irritatedly, "men are polygamous in nature, that's not a big deal. It's not as if he cancelled the engageme
Eight months later, sweats covered Natasha's body, she had been laboring in the maternity ward for more than three hours, yet she had been unable to deliver a baby. According to the scan she had done months ago, it had been revealed that she had two babies on the inside of her. She was tired and frustrated. Being in labor for more than three hours is definitely not what anyone would wish for. "Ma'am, are you sure you don't want to do Cesarean section? It will be easier to get the babies out that way," the female doctor advised for the umpteenth time. "No, I'll deliver them this way," Natasha insisted. Her mother had told her she delivered her through ceserean section but that since then, she was not able to deliver any other child again. Although Natasha didn't know if the CS was the exact thing that stopped her mother from getting pregnant, she still didn't want to take chances. She didn't want the babies she was about to deliver to be her last. Just barely five minutes later, wi
After Natasha had finished using the toilet, she deliberated on whether to go to the emergency ward and treat the man. But what if they find out that she's not the 'doctor Violet' they mistook her for? Natasha knew for sure that Modern science can't fully heal the man, the best it can do is to stabilize his condition, only acupuncture method can permanently cure the man of his illness. She had learnt ancient healing method from the old blind man she lived with at Crying-sun. Natasha summoned courage and went to the emergency ward. On getting there, she realized that the man's condition had worsened so she quickly approached the man and began to make use of the needles. The nurses couldn't help but whisper amidst themselves. "Since when did doctor Violet start practicing acupuncture medicine, this method better not send Mr. Pushkin to his early grave." "Then her career will be doomed. She's already too proud for my liking. Taking such a risk on Mr. Pushkin is suicidal. I'm sure Mr.
Natasha began the process from the beginning again, unlike before when the man's eyes opened instantly, it took more than forty seconds before the old man coughed his way back to live. When he opened his eyes again, he said to Natasha, "you are my savior, thank you and I'll reward you." Natasha smiled, "don't bother, sir. I'm only helping." Seeing that the man was trying to stand, she spoke, "please relax, sir. The pin will be removed in another fifteen minutes and then you can stand and be able to do whatever you wish to do." "Really? I haven't being able to stand and walk in months." Mr. Pushkin said. Gratitude was written all over the man's face. The old man couldn't wait to stand. Fifteen minutes went by quickly and then, Natasha carefully removed the pins and helped the old man up. The old man stood and walk to the surprise of everyone present in the ward. Even Violet was shocked. She has no believe in pseudoscience. She didn't believe anything outside of science but seeing th
Dmitry alongside his ten regular escorts walked inside the ward that Elianor's kids were. "Are you the miracle Doctor?" Asked Dmitry. The woman seated between the twin stood, she recognized Dmitry at once. What is the demon of leaf city doing here? The most powerful man in the city standing before her on a day like this has to be a dream. The woman pinched herself secretly and forced out a smile, "yes...yes." At Dmitry's gesture, the door opened and two officials from the Civil Bureau stepped in with a marriage contract. They went ahead and placed the papers before the woman, "Cause of Mr. Dmitry's influence, you need not bother to come to the Bureau. Here's the marriage agreement, all you need to do is to provide us a passport photograph and put your signature here. Then you are officially Mr. Dmitry's wife." The woman thought she was dreaming. Her heart leaped for joy but it was also palpitating. She quickly brought out her purse and brought out a passport photograph then handed
At the most gigantic mansion in Leaf City, Mr. Pushkin sat on a soft cushion in the forth living room. He was impatiently waiting for his grandson. Soon, Dmitry walked in, his male personal assistant, Yuri entered with him. For they grew up together. "Grandfather," Dmitry greeted and went to sit. Yuri walked up to Mr. Pushkin and handed over the marriage certificate of Dmitry and the miracle Doctor to him after which he went to sit on a random seat, both of their attentions were set on Mr. Pushkin. Mr. Pushkin could be seen focusing his absolute attention on the marriage certificate, his old eyes bore seriously through his custom made glasses. After seeing that all necessities had been done on the marriage certificate, he placed it beside him, a beautiful smile now plastered on his face. "You have done well, Dmitry." Dmitry only nodded. "I'll take my leave now." He was about to stand when Mr. Pushkin quickly spoke. "Bring her over for dinner tomorrow." Dmitry paused, staring at h
While Natasha was waiting at the receptionist, she called the nanny overseeing her kids in order to ask about her kids, "hello, how are my kids doing?" "They are sleeping at the moment, ma. Although someone is currently knocking, I'm going to see who it is." "Don't. Don't even dare. Just pretend you aren't home, okay?" Natasha asked. "Is there a problem, ma?" "Not at all. Just do as I've said." Natasha then ended the call. She didn't care who the person knocking at the door of her house is. For all she cares, that person or persons could be from her father. Pavel had told her to wait for ten minutes, eight minutes had now passed. Precisely two minutes later, the receptionist who had just finished receiving a call said to Natasha, "Mr. Pavel said you may come upstairs." Natasha nodded and stood. Soon, she entered the elevator, she was about to press the close button when she saw two men walking directly towards the elevator that she was. One was about 6.5 ft tall, he was slim an
Dmitry, standing at the top balcony of the Pushkin's mansion, watched as the ambulance quickly took his grandfather away from the compound of the villa. "I thought that miracle doctor had permanently cured him of his illness?" Yuri, who was standing beside him answered, "perhaps, the healing isn't fully done. Shall I immediately send for the miracle doctor and order her to go to the hospital to treat Mr. Pushkin?" "Do that," Dmitry said with an aching heart. "This miracle doctor better find a solution to grandfather's sickness."Yuri at that moment had already placed a call across to Ruby and it had been answered. "Please go immediately to Virgio hospital, Mr. Pushkin is seriously sick and needs your attention." Ruby on the other end shivered in fear, for she had no knowledge of medicine. How would she treat Mr. Pushkin? Before she could even utter a word, Yuri already hung the call up. Ruby quickly went to meet Zara, her mother who was at that moment in the living room of the Iva
"I could swear I heard something." Dmitry said as he walked closer. "And that sound isn't coming from you." Then he looked around suspiciously. All these while, Natasha became so scared that her heart was literally on her throat struggling to fall off her mouth. Dmitry suddenly noticed that the flower vase seems out of place so he approached it carefully. He then instinctively took the vases away. Natasha walked closer at once and spoke, "I can explain!"The kids could be seen crawling out of where they had been hid. The expression on Dmitry's face had become a murderous one. "Dad, it's not miss. Natasha's fault. It's ours." Marcus spoke immediately. He could tell that Dmitry was angry. Truth was, as a little child, he had never seen Dmitry with such a cold-stone face. Dmitry swallowed and then called Yuri, once he answered, he said, "I already found the kids."Then he held the hands of the twin and lead them out gently. He didn't even spare Natasha another glance. After he had l
Natasha's heart flew a hundred meters away. She looked at her two kids that were seated comfortably on the seat.Marcus jumped up from the bed at once, "we must leave immediately," he said to Rose.Rose also stepped down. This time, Natasha was already standing. "Gen, I need you to hide these kids for me."Gen looked around the pretty large office but there's no hiding space there. Everywhere was exposed."Will under the table do?" Natasha asked Gen."It's still exposing ma." Gen Ichiro answered. "I think he will easily see them there."Then the sound of a knock came through the door. Natasha's heart raced at the sound of the knock. She knew it was definitely Dmitry at the door."Just cover them with something, they are little."Gen nodded and then led the two kids under the table then he quickly grabbed the vases of flowers around and used it in covering the open space.Then at Natasha's gesture, he went ahead and opened the door for Dmitry.Dmitry then stepped in, Gen stayed around
After a long while, the door gave way and Anthony Roosevelt appeared. Natasha stood upright in shock. She had almost lost all hope, thinking that Anthony Roosevelt wouldn't come.His face was calm, "I inquired from the men that are keeping you here why you were here and I was told it was on Dmitry's command.""Yes... Dmitry locked me up here cause he found me beating his fianceé," Natasha stated.Anthony Roosevelt tucked his two hands in his suit Pocket and spoke, "and why will you do that?""She did some hurtful things in the past. I can never forgive her," Natasha said. "I can't just start pounding her without a reason. That woman is a heartless murderer."Anthony sighed. "This must be a personal issue to Dmitry, I do not think I should intervene." He said thoughtfully. After a few seconds, he added, "I'll see what I can do."Then he turned, about to walk away, Natasha quickly spoke, "you once asked if I'd like to be your friend, is the offer still available?"Natasha had thought th
Natasha Kicked her heavily in the tummy, Ruby yelled in pain. She he was forced to arch her back as a result of how intense the pain was in her tummy. The more Natasha remembered how Naomi was tortured, the more her anger fuels. She kneed her on the face and threw a heavy blow to her nose. Ruby, with a face full of blood, fell to the floor, screaming in pain. Unknown to Natasha, Dmitry was already standing by his car and watching how Natasha was beating Ruby. With a clenched fist, he walked towards the scene and shouted in rage, "Natasha!" Natasha, who had already squatted above Ruby and was hitting her repeatedly on the face, paused and turned, seeing Dmitry, her anger subsided slowly. This time, Ruby was barely breathing. Natasha stood from Ruby, panting heavily. Dmitry placed a call across to the ambulance and in a few minutes, they came around and took Ruby away. All these while, Dmitry had not said a word but one could tell that he was very angry."Have you gone insane?" Dm
Rose and Marcus spend the rest of the hour with Natasha. Natasha played monopoly with the kids as well as chess, they laughed and joked in the process. At the end of the hour, one could tell that the relationship between Natasha and the kids had softened. Natasha was able to drop the kids two houses before theirs so that she won't be seen but she waited until the kids went towards the house. "Where have you guys been?" Natasha, who was yet to start the ignition of the car heard a loud female voice. She swiftly stepped down from the parked car and walked swiftly to see what was going on. She was surprised to see Ruby standing before the two kids. "I asked where you guys went to? At this time of the night, huh? This is 10:15PM." Rose looked at Marcus not knowing what to say, "you do not have to shout at us." Marcus said, looking at her. "The fuck! Since when did you grow balls to talk to me this way?" Ruby asked angrily. "Watch the words you are saying, my little sister is here,"
Zara almost buried herself alive, she was covered in shame that she didn't know whether to cry or die. She looked at Huxley as if expecting him to defend her but Huxley was quiet. Zara set her gaze back on Natasha."Natasha, you sure know how to lie through your teeth," she said. "I legally married your father after your mother's unfortunate death." "Is that true?" Natasha asked rhetorically. "How then is it possible that your daughter who is as old as I am turns out to be for my father?" Natasha asked. Zara's mouth shivered in fear. She looked around the numerous cameras that was set on her. She can't deny publicly that Ruby isn't Lewis Ivan's biological daughter. If she denies it, then she must return all of Lewis's Ivan's properties. Yet, her image will be forever damaged, she will be tagged as an adulterer if she did not deny what Natasha said about her committing adultery with her father. Zara suddenly broke down into tears, "Natasha, despite how hard I had worked to give you
Natasha turned back in shock. She was stunned to see the person she least expected. Thought he was still in prison? Huxley stood gallantly, dressed in a deep black navy suit. He looked glamorous and a little fleshy than he was five years ago. Also, he had more beards than five years ago. Wow! Natasha was stunned at the new Huxley. "Out of prison already?" Huxley smirked. Before he could say a word, Zara appeared and held Huxley by the hand, she leaned on him and said, "hubby, you are buying it for me, right?" Hubby? What's going on here? Zara is almost twice older than Huxley. While Huxley is in his early thirties, Zara is fifty plus but with the way Zara is leaning on him, it seems they are in some sort of weird relationship. Huxley looked at Zara and smiled sweetly, "anything for you, my woman." He even kissed her on the lips.Although Zara looked smart and younger, in fact , one would think Zara is in her thirties too. That may be a result of plastic surgery. And of course, she
Dmitry watched as she got inside her car and drove away. Truth was, from the first day he sighted her, he had been wondering why she had the same resemblance with Rose. Ruby on the other end had no resemblance with any of her kids. Could it be that he was deceived? Although he already has a DNA test at home that proves that Ruby is the mother of his kids but now that he's beginning to think about it, what if it was forged?Dmitry sighed. He set his gaze on the grave yards of Valentina and Tatiana and his hurts deeply again. The only family he has now is his grandfather and ...his new best friend. Five years ago, he had found himself drowning inside the sea. He didn't know how he got there nor did he remember anything about himself. About to drown to death, he saw someone swim towards him and then helped him to the brink of the sea. He sat weakly on the sea sand and gaped at the horrible injuries in his body. There were all sorts of deep scars and he didn't even know how he had sust
"If there's no cure, then you are useless to me," Dmitry said. Natasha observed him for some seconds and said lowly, "you've changed, Dmitry." Dmitry brought out his phone and placed a call across to Yuri who answered immediately, "send two men to my location." "What if I'm innocent?" Natasha asked with a sullen look. Dmitry ignored her and walked a few meters away from her, he was now leaning on his car but he kept his eyes on her. Natasha walked closer to him and said, "I can work on helping you recover your memory." "How can I trust you?" Dmitry questioned. "Cause I've once helped someone in the west recover their memory, I believe I can do the same for you," Natasha said. She didn't want to get into an unnecessary conflict with him for she had her own men too. Since Dmitry had called Yuri to send two men over, she could just call Gen to send ten men over but what's the point of engaging in a bloody battle? What if she gets hurt in the process? "But you said a few seconds a
