Anna entered the room swiftly and banged the door shut as if she thought Ivan would wiggle himself past with the little space. The moment she bolted the door shut, she pressed her back against the door and took a deep breath. She sighed, exhaustion coursing through her. The information she had heard a few minutes ago had weakened her, and she felt like she needed to make the world pause for a second so she could catch her breath. She felt sorry for her sister, and she wondered how she would react when she found out about everything the doctor had said. From losing her baby to Gavin fibrosis. For some reasons, she chose to stick to the belief that her sister was aware of the pregnancy, whether or not she'd have told her. It just didn't make sense that Aria could hide such information from her. It just wasn't possible. Aria stirred on the bed, raising her hands upwards, but she stopped when she noticed that something (an IV) was attached to her hands. Anna walked towards taking a seat b
Aria stared straight ahead, even though it looked like she could not see anything and was far out of his world. "I wish it were a dream." She told Anna, and she kept quiet as she kept on thinking about how the baby would have added to her life. She didn't know how to grieve because it felt weird, firstly, that a baby wasn't growing inside of her, and she didn't until she was gone. She didn't know how to cry, even if she felt like that was what she was supposed to do. She felt unworthy to grieve crazily for someone she wasn't attached to, yet she felt somehow incomplete, like she had lost an old friend. She sighed, thinking about how things would have turned out differently. She would have likely not made her choice yet about whether she should tell Robert that she was carrying his baby, or maybe if he had found out through the doctor at the hospital, she'd have wanted to keep the baby, but eventually she'd have felt the need to run away from him with her baby, and he'd not have heard
The moment Robert entered his car and turned the key in his ignition, he felt his heart beat faster. One, they hadn't spoken in a while, and two, he didn't know how she was going to react when she saw him. He hoped she was fine; that was what he cared about now. Even though there was a rift between the two of them, he couldn't help but think about her and show his concern for her by showing up at the hospital. He breathed out as he turned off the ignition and got out of the car.With each stride he took towards the door, he longed to see her oval face and how she was doing.At the reception, surprisingly, he spotted Ivan, his former personal assistant, who had told him he was out of Las Vegas. He was pacing around the room, like he was in a critical condition, and he halted on his tracks, eyes wide, when he saw him."What are you doing here?" Robert asked him, bewildered.He scratched his hair and blinked as if the beads of sweat pearled at the top of his forehead and rolled into his
When they stepped inside, Aria's eyes flew towards the door and she saw the two people she didn't believe would ever be standing side by side standing."Robert," she called out softly, surprised, examining his appearance. He was dressed in signature all black fit. "What are you doing here?" She asked, completely ignoring Ivan as though he wasn't standing near Robert. She wished Anna hadn't called him yesterday, all she wanted to do was to return his freaking money back to him so he doesn't see any means to creep back in to her life. He can be with Lily for all he wants, he disgusted her."I just wanted to see you." He blurted out, now feeling excitement bubble Within him because she hasn't responded harshly and coldly towards him and the way the Ivan had quickly faded into the background because how their two looked like the main character of the movie slightly brought joy to his heart but ofcourse he wasn't going to say that out loud.Before Aria could say another word, Ivan quickly
"so about Ivan," Robert started and Aria's body stilled, wondering what he wanted to talk about concerning Ivan because he didn't know him."Hm?" She adjusted her position on the bed, staring at him intently."So, he was my personal assistant I told you about." Robert informed her.She struggled to make sense of the words and she knew for a fact that he wasn't joking. So Ivan had worked closely with Robert? Meaning Elanne should know him. She thought about asking Elanne few questions about Ivan and then she decided against it, he wasn't worth it."Oh." She simply said. "I wasn't aware." Then she shrugged."I know." He nodded. She wondered the kind of conversation Robert and Ivan had had before they walked into the room and whether Ivan had tried to say anything to him that may have given him second thoughts about her."He's my ex," she voiced out, the words feeling odd in her mouth."I- observed." He stuttered. "He made it quite obvious." As they talked, she noticed that their sentenc
"Are you good through?" Robert's question was cut short by the bolting ot the door and their eyes flew eagerly to see who was coming in. It was a doctor and a nurse. The doctor has grey eyes that were barely hiden under his see through ash glasees and she had seen the smiley nurse before she had given her an injection when she woke up."Afternoon," the doctor greeted her and the nurse simply smiled at her"Afternoon, Doctor.""I'm glad to see that you've regained your strength by now. If you had lost a little more blood, you'd have require a blood transfusion I may ask to he sure. How are you doing?""I'm fine, thank you." Aria's heart had started beating fast. She knew Robert would soon hear the news of her miscarriage but it won't be free from her but from the doctor and it would seem like she was deliberately hiding it from him.Robert squeezed her palm assuredly like he always did that day when she was at the dineer and reflectively she withdrew. He stared at her without saying a
"I'm sorry," Ivan muttered, breaking the silence between them."So you had sex with Lily because I refuse to have sex with you." It wasn't a question but a statement."Not exactly but-""When you cheated, you needed everything between us and you made it clear that you didn't want us anymore.""No, it's just that when Lily sent that picture in that moment, it erased every trace of guilt because I felt you had been cheating too."The pain jabbed at Aria's heart because of how Ivan had Just proven that he never trusted her because how he say such... The wound that she had been struggling to bury felt like it had been cut open again and it made her feel like she had not even healed before and she shouldn't have entertained the conversation but now that she had, she'd get to the bottom of everything."Is this you trying to justify yourself now?" She asked, her voice strained with emotions.He sighed. "You don't understand me. That's not it.""I don't understand you now? Because I'm calling
It's been three weeks now and Aria still hasn't gone to work because Robert had asked to take a little break off and truly she appreciated the gesture because she was truly tired and needed the rest and she was definitely going to get it now she was home. Robert constantly texted her all day, and she'd find herself giggling and waiting for his text if she hadn't gotten any from him yet. It was amazing how he made her feel and the longing she felt if she hadn't heard from him. Elanne visited her frequently, and she loved having her around. Anna still went to work frequently, but did not fail to text her. Ivan kept on texting her incessantly and so she blocked him again so he wouldn't get access to her. He kept telling her that Robert wasn't good for him and he knew something about Robert would surprise her. She kept on asking him but he refuse to divulge the information so she figured that he was just trying to make her scared and he wasn't worth any sort of attention. But on the other
