TWO

Liam's POV:

"What?" My mom and I yelled simultaneously. I stared at the unknown lady, my face immediately twists in disgust

"Yes, you heard me right" the unknown lady replied, hands akimbo.

This isn't my first time seeing ladies pinning a pregnancy on a guy just because of money.

Sadly, I'm one of those guys because I'm considered to be the most wealthiest man in the whole of New York. And this situation has occurred more than once this month.

Women will always be women. Maybe she just wants to pin the pregnancy on me to access my wealth. But hell no, I am not going to let that happen. I've had enough of this bullshit from women. I was about to speak when my mom beat me to it.

"Are you really pregnant for my son?" My mom asked with an unsure look on her face.

"Yes, I am," the lady replied, nodding slowly with her eyes fixed on me.

My mom giggles, a smile plastered on her face, which infuriated me because she has never smiled at me like that since she started asking for a grandchild.

"Mom, why are you smiling at a stranger? Don't tell me you actually believe her," I queried, glaring at the lady. She cowered and hid herself behind my mum.

"So you are the one responsible for this pregnancy," A middle aged woman asks, standing in front of me.

Her resemblance with the crazy girl made it clear that she was her mother.

"Impregnated who? having an affair with her" I angrily stated.

"You son of a gun, you still have the guts to talk back at me" she yelled as she grabbed my hair and started pulling it hard like she wanted to uproot it.

"Ahh…ahh..ahh. MOM!! Please save me from this woman" I had no choice but to ask for help from my mom who didn't even bother to help me as she chatted away with the unknown lady.

I swore deep down inside of me that if I ever escape from this, I will never forgive my mom. But who was I kidding?

A few minutes later, I was kneeling in front of the lady in a secluded alley. Who do they think they are to do this to me? The worst part of it all was that my mom was acting less concerned as she held the unknown lady in her arms whose name is Mia as I heard her mom call her.

"How are you going to take responsibility for your actions?" I heard Mia's mom ask as she stared daggers at me.

"Take responsibility for what? I'm innocent" I yelled in desperation as I glared at everyone.

"Do you want more pulling in your hair?" I heard the lady threaten as she took one step close to me.

I immediately retreated in fear as I imagined myself going bald after all the pulling. I shuddered as an idea popped into my head.

"I know of a way to prove that I'm innocent," I said grabbing everyone's attention.

I could see the shock on Mia's face as she stared at me with horror.

"Let's get this done with. Everyone gets what they get" I said staring at Mia's captivating grey eyes. With all this going on, I had barely noticed the beauty beside me all this while and her beautiful curves.

"Wait Liam, don't tell me that you just complimented another woman? Gosh, Liam, you are a married man. You shouldn't be having this kind of thoughts in the absence of your wife" I scolded myself as I bit hard on my lower lip as a way of punishing myself for what I just did.

I felt everyone's gaze on me. I slowly looked up and found everyone staring at me as if I was a crazy lunatic. Then I realized that I had bitten my lip too hard, thereby drawing out blood. Coupled with my disorganized hair, I kind of looked like a vampire, a wicked one at that.

I gave out a nervous laugh as I tried to organize my hair while sucking my lip to keep the blood in check. From the corner of my eye, I could see Mia drooling at me. Who wouldn't drool at a handsome and hot man like me?

I suddenly felt proud of myself and my achievements. I smiled and took out my phone and contacted my trusted personal doctor. 

"Prepare to conduct a DNA test right now. I will be there right away" I said to him over the phone as I hung up.

"Follow my lead," I said to everyone as I headed towards my car.

Mom insisted that I ride with Mia in my car, while she and Mia's mom ride hers.

I had no choice but to agree since I can't win against my mother.

We got to my car and I opened the driver's seat and sat down. I waited for Mia who was slowly walking towards the car as if she was counting her steps. Our moms were long gone as they were impatient.

I grew out of patience as I waited for Mia to get to the car. I had no choice but to speak up.

"If you don't hurry up and get in here, Imma abandon you here" I threatened and I could swear I saw her give me a pleading look that vanished almost immediately after it appeared.

She later got into the car and I drove off. She didn't say a word as she had her head lowered the whole time.

I ignored her as I gave the engine more life and sped off towards the hospital.

We got to the hospital and met our parents at the doctor's office already talking to him. We ushered ourselves in and I signaled to my personal doctor whose name was Mateo to start the test.

He wasted no time and asked for the necessary things needed to conduct the test from us. We provided them and he immediately went to work in the lab while we waited in the office.

I sat down and crossed my leg while tapping my hands gently on the armrest. I turned to look at my mom and found her praying gently with her eyes tightly closed.

I scoffed as I looked away.

"Does she need a grandchild that badly?" I asked myself as I secretly stared at Mia who looked pathetic as she sought of looked like she was crying.

I felt pity for her for the first time since this incident occurred. What made such a girl like this get pregnant out of wedlock and try to pin the blame on someone she barely knows? Well, everyone has their own story. I thought to myself as I sighed out loud.

Just then, the door opened and Mateo entered holding the test result in his hands with an unfathomable look on his face. 

I suddenly started feeling nervous as he gave the test result to me. 

"What the hell is wrong with me? You are not responsible for the pregnancy so why are you nervous?" I assured myself as I took a peek at the result but what I saw knocked the leaving daylight out of me.

"Doctor, so what does the test result say?" I heard my mom ask as she stared at the doctor expectantly along with everyone else.

"Congratulations Ma, you are going to be a grandmother."
