CHAPTER 65 :- Nauseous.Lucy wakes up, feeling the wet towel on her forehead. She lifts herself into a sitting position, taking the towel off and looking around, she found Mrs Townsend fast asleep beside her.A smile left her lips... Watching Mrs Townsend right now, gives her a sense of Hope and comfort. It feels like her mother has been the one taking care of her.The love of a mother from Mrs Townsend keeps emanating and feels her and she kinda misses her mother.. Not just her mother, but her Dad too.Mrs Townsend opened her eyes and as she saw Lucy seated upright, she panicked and began to feel her temperature. "Why are you up dear? You should still get some rest? Do you still feel dizzy? " Lucy's eyes brimmed with tears.. Her lips quivered as she tried to fight back her tears.Mrs Townsend noticed her tears and wipes then off her face."No, no dear.. Don't cry now! Is it still about Mark? "Lucy shakes her head negatively and blinked her eyes as more tears kept rolling down her
Lucy's hands shook as she stared at the test rube in her hands. So many times this past few moments, she kept shutting her eyes and opening them back, wishing the results from the test tube would change but it was just there, staring right back at her.The double red lines on the test tubes cane like a bomb blast to her. She didn't want to believe, maybe its just her eyesight having issues and maybe the test tube is faulty.She can't be pregnant, she really can't be!! Not with all of this catastrophies going on between her and Mark. Not when Mark already broke up with her, would he believe her? Would the pregnancy make him reconsider his decisions?Mrs Townsend was right. The signs she keeps experiencing were those of pregnancy. So many thoughts raced through her head, yet again.. She didn't want to believe! She'd only believe once this is whole thing is confirmed by a doctor, only then will she believe a mere test tube and if luck rains on her and it turns out negative, she'd be at
Few days passed and Lucy's efforts were futile. There was nothing she could do right now. Mark's number isn't going through, he wasn't reply any of her texts either.It felt like he has completely shut her off his life. Can he really live like this? Without speaking or calling to check up on her?He already sent her resignation letter, like seriously, he meant every word he said!! Mark's attitude really surprised her alot as she least expected that from him. Tho he fired her already but she still keeps in touch with the receptionist at the company and she informs her of everything that keeps happening at the company and how Mark keeps getting angry over every slightly thing.She knows that won't happen if it wasn't because of her. He's venting out his anger on those poor employees who had nothing to do with what happened.Lucy turned away from the mirror when her cellphone buzzed loudly. Reaching out for it, she puts on a smile on her face while swiping the answer button to the right
"I'm sorry Ma'am, but you can't go in" The security man in Mark's home stood in Lucy's path as she tried to go in. They have both been on this issue for over 10 minutes and he would not let her pass through the gate.Lucy would have listened to him and simply walk away but what she's here for us pretty much important and she can't just turn back and leave. Mark is in there, that she knows for sure."I'm warming you for the last time, let me through the gates and of you try to stop me, I'm going to call the police and accuse you of assault... " That was convincing enough. She pushed the security man off her path and he didn't try to stop her. Meanwhile, Mark stood by the window in his room, holding a glass of wine in his hands as he watched Lucy battle with his security man whom he had strictly warned not to let her into his home anymore.He knew Lucy would not back down and she would do everything to get Through.He turned away from the window and placed the wine glass down then wa
Lucy pulled over beside the bridge. She got down and stood by the edge of the bridge, her emotions welling up inside her and she couldn't help but let it all out."Ahhh! I hate you Mark,!! I hate you so much" She yelled loudly, bursting into tears.She let her tears roll freely as she poured out all her emotions. She was tired, upset and frustrated about this whole thing turned out to be.She expected mark to be different but he was far worst than the others. Austin was right in everything.. Mark's Ex girlfriend Bea's right in everything she said at he mall that day.They were all right and she was wrong. they'd warned her but she didn't listen and choose to follow her stupid heart to love a man who doesn't love her and only wanted her for his selfish gains.Maybe she's so unlucky or cursed not to find true love. It is so easy for others but pretty difficult for her.Same way Austin had hurt her in the past now Mark did the worst thing ever. Why didn't he use protection? Now she's pre
Mark squints his eyes at his mother's words, obviously confused if she meant what she said... " What? You're kidding mother""It's obvious I have no water in my mouth right now. You caused everything Son and no son of mine would turn his back on a woman. She's pregnant with your child son and you're going to take responsibility for that? "" No, no, no.. " Mark ranted, turning around and punching the table behind him as hard as he could. "Don't do this mother. For all I know, that child isn't mine! I can't be the father of that thing in her tommy... "" Shut that trap you call a mouth Mark!! " Mrs Townsend thundered.. Lucy just stood and sobbed quietly. The words she's hearing is too harsh and it keeps hurting her. She'd have ran away to avoid hearing more of that but Mrs Townsend held her hand in hers so she couldn't leave."How dare you call an innocent child a thing? Do you have no conscience at all son!! If this was the way your father referred to you as a thing, would you have b
That night, Mark returned home hoping his mother would have left with Lucy but he was wrong. Who was he to think that his mother would do such a thing. He could still see her car parked right beside his other car and it got him really furious..He stumped into his home and straight to his room because he knows that's exactly where his mother would ask her to be.He forced the door open and barged in. Just like he predicted, she was lying peacefully on his bed, fast asleep and snoring lightly.He moved close to her, with his fists folding tightly.As he stared at her, his anger kept increasing. How dare her sleep on his bed? Under whose permission?He tapped her roughly, trying to wake her up. Meanwhile, Lucy who was having her peaceful sleep got disturbed when she felt a strong tap on her shoulder. It was a bit painful though and she opened her eyes slightly even though she already knows who that is.She sat up, rubbing her eyes and yawing loudly. She's so tired and needs to sleep b
Lucy stopped eating when she heard a low grunt. She turned towards the direction, to see Mark stretching out his limbs and becoming fully awake.Their gaze met as he sat up and after some moments of glaring at each other, she averted her gaze first and kept on eating."If you're hungry, there's some at the kitchen, you can fetch some yourself" Lucy said without looking at him.She could still feel his burning gaze on her and after a while, he stood up and began to walk towards her.Lucy found it hard to gulp down her food with each step he took. She got tensed, knowing fully well that he was definitely up to something.What is he going to do now? Start another argument? For heaven's sake, she's really not in the mood for any of those.She still didn't look at him even as he stood right beside her, she slowly kept chewing on her bread.She hears a low snort from him and what followed was an unexpected action from him.. He threw the plates away carelessly, making them shatter to pieces
EPILOGUE. Months later, Olivia struggled to keep her eyes open, she could see the smiling faces but they were blurry.She tried again and she could finally see them clearly. Maynard, Bryan, Sage.. everyone was present."Olivia! you are awake!". they said in unison and she gave them a tired smile.Maynard came and sat beside her."How are you feeling?". he asked."Am very tired". Olivia replied." I guess we both won the bet". Maynard said happily."Really?". Olivia asked."Yes, it's a boy and a girl". Maynard replied and Olivia smiled faintly, turning her head to the baby cradle right beside her bed. Her babies were fast asleep and right beside them was Bryan piercing gaze."He's been that way ever since. He hasn't stopped staring at them."With permission, can I be the babies' godfather?". Sage asked faking a British accent."Of course, my good man ". Olivia replied with the accent as well although her voice was hoarse."Congratulations mummy". Bryan said happily, finally tearing hi
The doctor came out the room unaware of everything that just transpired and Maynard and Olivia bought rushed forward."How is he doctor?". Olivia asked worriedly."He is fine and he will wake up soon ". the doctor said with a smile."That's good". Maynard said as holding into Evelyn's hands tightly so that she won't escape.At that moment, the police came and Evelyn was arrested instantly after much struggling. while she was having her fights with Maynard, Olivia had secretly called in the police. What Evelyn did is unimaginable and she should be punished."Maynard, you can't do this to me. I told you the whole truth. Tell them to let me go please. Tell them we're about to get married". Evelyn pleaded but got no reply from neither Maynard nor Olivia and the the police took her away.Maynard came to sit next to Olivia."Are you feeling okay? or do you need to visit the doctor?". maynard asked worriedly."No, am fine". Olivia replied."But you look a bit pale..""I am fine maynard, do
Maynard drove crazily through the traffic and he soon arrived at the hospital."Emergency!!". he screamed as he got out of the car immediately.Some nurses hurried over with a stretcher and Maynard placed Bryan on it carefully.They took him into the hospital and the doctor began to attend to him immediately."What is his name and what happened to him?". the doctor asked."His name is Bryan. He fell down the stairs by accident". Maynard explained."Ok". the doctor replied as they wheeled him into a room.Olivia was too shocked to say anything anymore so she just sat down quietly waiting while maynard paced around worriedly.Evelyn was very annoyed that the wedding was cancelled again. She wasn't particularly happy that the wedding will be on hold because of the brat.Just when she was this close to success that little brat had to pull such a foolish stunt and slip off the stairs."Why is it taking so damn long?" . I hope he is okay" Olivia said worriedly"I am sure he will be fine, le
Throughout the night, Maynard did not sleep a wink . He kept thinking about the wedding and finally it's today. In few hours, he'd be tieing the knot with Evelyn.He turned away from the mirror after dressing up and in that instant, Olivia walked in. He quickly rushed to her and hugged her."Please don't make me emotional than I already am Maynard?!" She pushed him away slightly, trying to fight back her tears." Come with me Olivia. Let's just run far away, that way, I won't have to get married to Evelyn and you won't have to be sad either"." Oh my! Why didn't we think about that earlier!? Let's run away " Olivia said cheerfully and Maynard was super ready to do so. He turned and was about to move to the wardrobe but Olivia caught his arm right on time."We should run far away and then what? So Evelyn can create more scandal against us? Don't be a coward Maynard because you're not. I am not going to support you in whatever plans you have. Let's just get this wedding over and done wi
Bryan joined Olivia in the room almost immediately. He had stood by the corner, observing everything. He sees how much she didn't like it and he didn't like it as well."Why are you here Bryan? Shouldn't you be downstairs with your mom and Dad?" She asked, surprised to see him in her room." Why are you here ma'am? shouldn't you be downstairs with Dad? He asked and Olivia chuckled before saying."Well, I don't belong there it's only best of I stay here. I don't want to be a bother to anyone"Bryan smiled.. " Me too Ma'am. I don't belong there and I don't want to be a bother"Olivia chuckled and ruffled his hair playfully."But you don't look happy ma'am. You really do not like what's going on right? You wish you can stop it don't you?"Olivia only stared at him without saying a word. I mean, what would a six years old boy possibly understand. He could be smart and all that but this is adult business. "Can I say something ma'am?" Bryan said, breaking into her thoughts." Of course, go
The next two days had been from one drama to another and it's Obvious Evelyn us the drama queen. She might be occupying Maynard's room, but he has refused to share a bed with her at all cost. He'd rather spend his night with Olivia than anyone else. That's how things are meant to be done.She did not stop causing more troubles and these past few days, she did not stop parading herself as the newest bride to be. More like she just won herself a medal or something.Olivia was tired of everything and she resorted into keeping as much distance as she could away from Evelyn. No matter how much annoyance she tried to cause, Olivia simply ignored her.As for Maynard, he did not like the fact that he was going shopping with Evelyn. People did not stop staring at them both as they stepping into the Mall.Evelyn has her head held high but he felt like disappearing into thin air. It was an embarrassing moment for him. The last time he stepped into the Mall was with Olivia, now he's with a sly sn
"Oh baby, you are back to your old angry self again.Anyways I am not here for you, I am here for your ex wife.Where is she? get out of the way let me see her". Evelyn said arrogantly."Olivia is not my ex wife but my wife because we are not even divorced yet so watch the words that comes out of that slutty mouth of yours..""The same slutty mouth you couldn't get enough of six years ago? Should I remind you how you kept kissing and nibbling on my..". Evelyn scoffed interrupting Maynard.Maynard clenched his fist in anger."Olivia is not going to see you do get the fuck out of my face". he said cutting her off and made to slam the door on Evelyn's face but she held it back and pushed it open."Tsk tsk, you are being a very bad boy.You didn't even ask me why I am at the front of your door with my luggages ". Evelyn said with a mischievous smile."I don't want to know because I don't care about anything that relates to you". Maynard said nonchalantly."You have to baby, you have to be
LATER THAT EVENINGSage took the longest bath he has ever had in his life. He shaved up and began to style his hair carefully. When he finally done, he wore the suit Olivia suggested, he looked absolutely stunning.He caught himself smiling at his reflection in the mirror and chided himself.His thoughts drifted off to Sofia.how would she react when she saw him this way? but he quickly pushed the thought out of his mind.He picked up his phone and called the restaurant manager."I hope everything has been settled according to plan? I don't want any interruptions unless it's absolutely necessary. Get your waiters to stand by. I want this to go well". Sage said coldly."Rest assured Mr Sage. everything has been taken care as you like it .the entire vip section will be out of bounds for other people except for you and your date and the special chef you hired has already arrived". the manager replied."That's good.I will be there in a few minutes". Sage said and hanged up. Why in Earth
They arrived at their bedroom and Olivia went to use the bathroom while Maynard began to receive series of phone calls from clients telling him to resolve his issues as soon as possible if not they are going to terminate their contract. They were all being Stern and no one was ready to buy his excuses. After finishing the calls, he decided to go through social media and the comments about Olivia was getting worse.*That bitch Olivia deserves whatever she's getting.**I hate women who act like this the most.she looks all innocent but she is a green tea bitch.*The comments were endless and majority of them were throwing hateful comments at olivia.only few of them supported her but that was barely one percent of the whole population. He threw his phone on the couch in anger."Damn it!". maynard cursed loudly.Olivia hurried out of the bathroom when he she heard Maynard cursing."What is happening?I heard you screaming from the...."Maynard interrupted her talk as he threw a fierce
