SCARLETT’S POV

“You're 6 weeks pregnant,”

Those exact words echoed in my head, and for some damn reason a pang hit my chest at his first direct acknowledgment of my new maternal status.

‘Pregnant!’

‘What do I do with the baby?’

‘How about Odessa and Charlie Fox?’

‘Should I tell Aiden?’ I thought to myself.

‘What should I do?’

I could boldly say that I had never been more confused upon hearing that news than I was right there.

“Thank you Doctor,” I said as I grabbed the results, my heart pounding with fear and the realization that I was no longer one person, but two people in one.

“You’re welcome Miss”

“So, I’ll like you to take your time and process the news because you seemed quite shocked, don’t worry about that, it’s a perfectly normal response that most of my patients go through,” he said, all in a bid to try and relax my nerves, but it certainly wasn’t working.

    AIDEN’S POV I was no longer the little boy my father could boss around and I was glad about that. No longer the little boy who would immediately do his bidding. I mean, I was a grown-up for fucksake. I knew how to get my own things done. I didn’t need his help. I know how to run my own goddamn company. The fear in my heart was evident, but I needed to talk to someone. Pen Her name rang in my head and I immediately picked up the phone to dial Pen’s number. It seamlessly went through. She picked on the first ring. “Atta boy, you beat me to calling, now didn’t you?” her usual chatter voice came on immediately. Pen always seemed like she had no worries and whatsoever to burden herself with. “Well, hello to you too. How are you doing Pen?” “I’m doing okay. You called because you thought

    SCARLETT’S POV I’d woken up to the sound of Aiden’s car by the driveway as I kept contemplating in my head on what was to be done.I burdened myself with all of these thoughts as I heard his car pull into the driveway and I heard him slam to the door to his car, followed by heavy footsteps, the kind of footsteps that were particular to just Aidens.“Scarlett, what are you going to do?”A couple of  minutes later, Aiden walked into the house, looking with nearly bloodshot eyes as I stayed still staring at him."Hey—” I stuttered, running a hand through my hair. “How was work?" I asked, in a bid to start a conversation, hoping he’d respond as expected.But then he looked me in the eye and for some reason, walked past me without a word. Fresh terror stabbed at me seeing him walk away headed for the stairs that led  all the way to his room.‘Seriously, I’m here carrying your baby

    AIDEN’S POVThe golden hues of the sun peeped through the windows, preceding the movement of my eyelids as I forced myself awake. I wasn’t always a huge fan of the sunlight and it annoyed me so much to wake up to bright sunny days. As I looked beside me, I saw one of the most gorgeous women to have walked the earth’s surface, she was so beautiful, and the ray of sunlight perfectly hitting her skin simply made her look magnificent.She must have felt my eyes on her because at that moment, she opened her eyes. Confused at first, but quickly smiled when she saw me.“Good morning, Handsome” she slurred lazily as she struggled to keep her eyes awake. “Hello gorgeous, How do you feel today” ‘Wait? When did I become such a lover boy? I had to get my wits together urgently.’She instinctively touched and looked down at her belly with a smile creased on her face as she did.“You

    SCARLETT’S POV‘It was getting harder,’‘I absolutely didn’t know for how much longer I could keep this a secret,’‘Never have I been so confused at a point in my life before. Aiden had no idea I was pregnant, Odessa and Charlie Fox needed an answer and I absolutely didn’t know what to do,’My phone rang to pull me out of my thoughts. It was just as I had feared, the private number whose calls I have been avoiding.I summoned every ounce of courage in me and finally decided to pick up the damn phone. This was the umpteenth time the number was calling me.“You really think we have all the time in the world, now don’t you Scar?”I hated when she called me that.“I’m not done deciding. What did you tell Aiden and what did he say?” I asked, I wondered if she was the one behind those pictures.“If I were you, I wouldn’t be so bothered about my discu

    AIDEN'S POVI still couldn't wrap my head around all that happened back at the office. For some very weird reason, it felt like my memory wiped and my head had gone blank for a very long time. I remember waking up to see Pen looking over some documents on my desk. They were several documents scattered round the table and it looked like she had been perusing them for a while.Had I really been that wasted? What possibly happened?"Hey, what happened?" I had asked, it was truly strange and I couldn't fathom what took place, plus, I had a million questions that I needed answers to."Oh Aiden, you're finally awake, I thought you were going to be sleeping for much longer" she has replied in her usual chatty voice. I noticed her eyes were bright and I remember we had both been drinking, that part didn't really make any sense to me. Again, she was obviously flushed, as if she

    SCARLETT'S POVI was utterly confused by the events of all that had happened so far and I knew that I needed an escape. I needed to be somewhere I could clear my head and just think clearly. The pregnancy, the contract, Odessa, Aiden's obsession with a new girl that happens to be Odessa's friend.... The list was endless. I knew it would be hard for me to escape my security protocol and I just made arrangements with the one that followed me around, he had kind eyes and when he began to drive me home, I had no choice but to quickly cut in. "Please, can you not take me home directly?" I asked in the calmest voice I could muster, I really needed to be in a safe space to clear my head because goodness gracious! I was totally spent. "Ma'am, the boss required that we bring you home directly, I cannot go against orders Ma'am," He chipped in with that formally polite tone he always used. "You know, I nev

    AIDEN'S POVPenelope... That name lived rent free in my head now. How could I have been so dumb? How could I possibly have been so stupid not to read between the lines and look to see that I was been played the whole entire time??? Damn! I was such a big fool. "Drive me to the company right now,""Yes Sir," Donald answered as he geared up and drove back to the company. I instinctively checked my phone and as I expected, Scarlett had still not returned my calls. Those idiots supposed to be protecting her are definitely firedThey wouldn't pick their damn phones and I was seriously losing my shit with each passing second. "Could you drive any slower. Drive the damn car faster or I would collect the wheels and do it for you and consider yourself fired!""I'm sorry Sir, I was just trying to be careful because they seem to be a little traffic,"Traffic?? Traffic by 4pm on the downtown part of the city? As I questioned myself, I looked out the window and honest to God, there was a

    SCARLETT'S POV I felt so eager to return my back to the car, knowing I’d left a my phone back in the car at some point. It almost felt like the journey to the car was terribly long and there was no way in hell I could handle all the emotions flooding my body in that instant. At long last, we arrived at the car and I was more than pleased because it already seemed like we wouldn't be getting here anytime soonest. My Doctor had left me with about five missed calls and two messages. I opened my message box and one was Aiden and surprisingly the other was from the hospital. Apparently, Aiden tried reaching out to me. Well, that did nothing to my anxiety because it made me worry and fear the unknown even more. I opened the text from the Doctor, it had come in a little over an hour ago. "You are eight minutes behind your appointment, you would need to check in as there in for appointment soon as the schedule for the week is booked and failure to come in would mean rescheduling for

    AIDEN'S POV "Don't talk to me like I'm a child, " Scarlett said. It took me aback and paused me in my tracks. I had a blend of mixed emotions in that moment and I think what I felt the most was pride. I was beyond proud of Scarlett for standing up for herself, but I took a good look at Pen and I just knew that Scarlett might have bitten a little more than she can chew. "What did you just say? " Pen asked while advancing towards Scarlett. I sensed a lot of drama unfolding. Should I stop it? Maybe I should. But am I going to stop it? I don't think so. I'm going to grab my imaginary popcorn and just watch the whole thing unfold. "I said you should stop talking to me like a child, " Scarlett said, even more defensively. She stood her ground and refused to back down to pressure. She was being resilient and I saw a boldness in her eyes that I

    SCARLETT'S POVI watched in utter dismay as the events unfolded in my very eyes. I had felt tremendously nervous to break the news and to top it off, I had to do the revelation in front of all the peering eyes. My nervous radar shot up terribly and I didn't know if I was happy that it wasn't Aiden and I alone, or I was nervous that it was in front of all these people.The whole thing just made me confused and nervous at the same time, I honestly didn't know what to do or how to feel and yet I watched the conversation that ensued amongst them. The back-and-forth that happened between Penelope, Aiden, Odessa, and Charlie Fox was one that I watched with mixed emotions. What truly became of me after they agreed? Did I have anything to win in this situation? I was going to be at the losing end no matter what happened and it just made me wonder what exactly would become of me. However, the e

    AIDEN’S POVIt almost felt like I didn’t hear what Scarlett had said for a moment, and for that, I felt lost and utterly alone. I questioned myself on how on earth I had gotten it all wrong.Did I do something I shouldn’t have?Why did she feel the need to lie to me for so long?And why on earth did it feel like everyone else knew except for me?“Scarlett, what did you say?” I proceeded to ask very slowly. “I said I am pregnant,” she repeated.“When did you find out?” I asked in the smallest of voices, I needed to know for how long I had been in the dark. It at least made sense to know for how long I have been in the dark and for how long she has been lying to me.“Aiden, do we have to have this conversation right now?” Scarlett asked with her eyes glistening with tears, she looked like she was about to cry and I didn’t know if I cared as much.I needed the truth and I needed to know how long

    SCARLETT'S POV"What on earth is happening here?," I said, as I looked on in shock to find the weapons formed and fashioned against me staring back at me. Four different pairs of eyes widened to look at me and I felt extremely uneasy. When Lucas had tried to warn me, I didn't really pay much mind and I had dismissed him. My mind flashed back to how the conversation had gone.It was a silent ride and after I had broken the ice, Lucas made me understand that he was only doing everything he was doing to protect me and we had come to quite the conclusion. I couldn't eat my cake and have it, I understood that and my so, my heart clutched tightly and deeply inside my chest, threatening to strangle me. I felt like I was imprisoned by my very own thoughts and for a while, I thought that I was in control. We had arrived the house and Lucas had immediately raised an alarm that something was amiss. "Something is wrong Ma'

    AIDEN'S POVI could tolerate anything, but definitely not anyone toying with Scarlett. That, I could NEVER tolerate, not even in my dreams. "Don't you dare talk about messing with Scarlett like that anymore," I said with a very warning tone glaring at her. She needed to know that I don't mess around with Scarlett and there was no way in hell I was letting her get close to Scarlett. "You love to dare me Aiden, and I love to see it, you're not the one in control here. Just in case no one has told you yet,” She said with a warning tone. "Don't dare me Pen, don't even try it " She needed to know that I don't mess up, and I'm not playing games. "Let's head back to the mansion," I informed Donald. "Have you called Lucas yet?" I needed to know the update about Scarlett and if she was still in the hospital. "Yes Boss, I got off the phone with him a few minutes ago, he said it appears that Miss. Scarlett is

    SCARLETT'S POV“Why on earth was the witch calling me?” I grumbled staring at the screen of my phone. Contemplating whether or not to have the damn call picked."Hello Odessa," I mustered the nicest voice I could to answer that call. "Oh, you think I called you to exchange pleasantries? " Her snarky voice came through. To be fair, I genuinely disliked her voice and it had nothing to do with her being Odessa, it had everything to do with the voice. Odesssa spoke in a manner that irritated the senses, the way she spoke nasally and made her words come out of her nose, it was the craziest thing for me and it always made me feel like punching the little air she had in her. "What do you want from me?" "I want you to do all that I have asked. Is that too much to ask?""It's complicated now... There's a lot more at stake and I can't even make a rash decision anymore. "For some reason began to laugh, a bellowin

    AIDEN'S POV‘The guts to actually call me…’She called me and acted as though it were all normal, nothing was normal about stealing from your supposed friend and calling them like a bitch. "Hello Handsome," The voice came through, so subtle and so evil. Did her voice change and she had been using a different kind of voice to communicate with me? ‘No...no it didn't, it never changed. It was always there’I wonder how I never noticed the evil undertone to her voice, it was right there all this time, I was either too busy to notice or didn't bother to care less. "What do you want, Pen?" I asked, picking my words very carefully. She laughed... A very hearty, deep throaty laughter that echoed for a while even over the phone. "You know, for someone who's on the verge of losing everything, you seem to pride yourself so much," She said. "What... Do... You... Want, Pen" I was biting down on my l

    SCARLETT'S POV"Yes, we're doing the surgery," As much as those words were the exact words I wanted to hear, it didn't help that it was still haunted and made me scared. Everything after that had just simply gone by in a very big blur, it didn't make sense to me. Why did I have to have that condition? Was my baby going to be safe? Lord please, let my baby be safe."What's the worst possible outcome Doctor?" I asked because I needed to know, I really needed to know what I was up against and what my fears would be. "As we have discussed earlier, Miss. Scarlett... ""Please let's skip the formalities from now on, I'm very okay with you addressing me simply as Scarlett Doctor, since you're going to be my Doctor for a long while, I might as well just get very comfortable,""Point taken, Scarlett," He said it like something foreign or new to his tongue, with a very ridiculous facial expression, it made me almost g

    AIDEN'S POV"Where is she?" That was the first thing that came out of my mouth the moment I saw him. Wasn't he the guy that was supposed to be guarding Scarlett? What the hell was he doing there standing in front of the entrance of the Hall I was given directions to? "Welcome Boss" He said as he looked up from his phone, he had been standing and pressing his phone, playing games or something. It made me boil to the pit of my stomach, how dare he be out here playing games while Scarlett is indoors with a Doctor and we have no idea what's going on. "Oh please keep your greetings to yourself. Where is Scarlett" I said, cutting him off immediately. I wasn't here for frivolities or to exchange pleasantries.. I was here because I meant business and I had to stand on that business. "She's inside the consulting room with the Doctor," He said, and as if on cue. The Doctor made his way into the Hall, most likely to know or f
