Chapter-03

Gloria wanted to go to her grandma and cry her heart out as she was the only one who could understand her pain.

But she was afraid her grandpa would hurt David if he know the truth.

Though David didn’t give a fuck about this relationship she cared for him and loved him.

She didn’t want him to get hurt, though he was an asshole.

She was roaming around the town when her cell phone rang.

It was her doctor who was calling her.

She composed her distorted mind and receive the call.

“Hello, miss Hill.” She asks trying to act calm and composed.

“Gloria, you did some tests last week. I have your report in my hand. Can you please come to collect them?” She asks.

I was so disturbed these few days I almost forgot about this report.

“Miss Hill, can you send them to me, please? I am busy slightly.” Gloria said as she didn’t want to go there for the time being.

“Actually, I wanted to talk with you.” She said hesitating and Gloria sighed.

“Ok, I will be there in half an hour.” She replied.

“Ok, I will keep my schedule free.” Dr. Hill replied and cut the call.

 

Gloria told the driver to turn the car toward the Health Life hospital and leaned back tiredly.

She didn’t realize when she fall asleep but she woke up when the driver call her to get off.

She told him to wait. Meanwhile, she went to meet the doctor inside.

Health Life hospital was one of the subsidiaries of White’s, the company of his grandpa.

When she went to reception, she get to know the doctor was waiting for her and she entered her office with no delay.

Dr hill was in her early thirties but she was renowned in the medical field.

Gloria and her family were regular here because of her mother's health and she was close to Dr. Hill.

“Hi, Gloria. I was waiting for you.” She said and gestured for her to sit and Gloria sat there worriedly.

“Is there any problem with my report?” She asked and the doctor shook her head and a smile formed on her face.

“Actually, you are pregnant.” Dr. Hill informed, and her world collapsed suddenly hearing those words.

Gloria was recently trying to conceive as once she saw David playing with some child.

There was an image in her mind that he would like their child, too.

 

But at this moment when their relationship was collapsing, she didn’t know how to react after hearing this news.

Dr. Hill talked with her about her pregnancy and Gloria leave her room after some time.

But this news put her unstable mind in another turmoil, and she walked toward the park outside the hospital and sat there with a sad mind.

She was happy because there was a life living inside her, and she would soon be a mother.

But she was worried about its future.

Would David accept it?

Would he cancel this divorce because of this child?

A lot of thoughts were surrounding her, making her heart clench in pain.

But suddenly a sweet giggle attracted her and she looked at the source.

There was a pair of twin playing in the park.

“Jenny, don’t run. I will tell mom you make me run.” The cute little boy said, running after her sister.

“Don’t be a coward.” The girl said and show him her tongue and run somewhere out of her sight.

But the cute bundle of joy brought a smile to her face, and a determination built inside her too.

It doesn’t matter would David would accept this child or not.

This is her child, and she will protect them.

With this determination, she walked out of the park while calling his driver.

She needed to confront David, why he was doing all this to her.

 

 Gloria walked inside her house and without wasting any time barged inside her bedroom.

Lia was still laying on the bed while David was sitting on the couch and working on his laptop.

With the sound of the opening of the door, they looked at her and Lia got up startled.

She was pulling the sheet over her to hide her nakedness.

“Gloria, nothing happened as you are thinking.” Lia tried to say, but Gloria raised her hand to stop her.

“I am not here to talk to you. But I would surely like to talk with my husband. Can you come out?” Gloria asked, looking at David.

“You can talk here,” David replied, but Gloria was not comfortable staying there.

“This room is dirty and I would like some privacy,” Gloria says and left the room giving them any chance to retort.

 

Gloria was sitting in the living room when David come down after dressing up.

“What do you want to talk about? I have nothing to say. Just sign those papers and we can go on our way.” David said, but Gloria was silent.

She looked at the papers and when she remember the test report; she wanted to give him a chance for the sake of their child.

“Can I know the reason for your decision?” She asked and David sit on the sofa.

“Wasn’t it clear? I love Lia.” He said and Gloria closed her eyes to stop the tears that were threatening to spill out and prove her weakness.

But she was adamant to stop them anyhow.

“What if I say I am pregnant?” Gloria asked lastly though her heart was crying.

“I don’t believe there is any chance that the child is mine. We have always used protection.” David said, and that made the girl shocked like hell.

Was he trying to say this child was not his?

How could he question her chastity?

This accusation was unacceptable.

Gloria can forgive him for hooking up with Lia.

But She could never forgive him for calling their child a bastard

“Then it is best that we divorce,” Gloria said and pull out a pen from her bag.

She signed the documents with no hesitation and hand them to him.

 “I wish Mr. Collin a happy life ahead and…” She pulled out the papers of share transfer from her bag and sign those papers too.

“This is my gift for your wedding,” Gloria said and keep those papers beside the divorce papers.

She didn’t even wait to see their expression and leave the house.

If she would have known, it was not her marriage that failed.

It was someone’s wicked mind that played games to break this marriage.
