Ava could feel herself giddy with excitement. The few days she spent with her best friends had been the stress relief she didn’t know she needed, they spent all day laughing and making baby jokes. They all gave their suggestions on what she should name the baby whether it was a boy or a girl but she had decided to make the decisions with Sebastian once she got home. She couldn’t wait to see him just as much as she couldn’t wait to tell him about her pregnancy either, she was now certain that he would be happy they were starting a family. They had a genuine relationship right now and there wasn’t anything stopping them from having a baby even though it was a surprise one, Ava was sure that they could make it work. She would have a host of nannies and her friends would happily babysit if she had to get to work or if she got overwhelmed sometimes. She had tried to picture Sebastian’s face when she broke the news to him but every time she tried to do so, she ended up laughing at the shoc
It’s been a week since Ava came back from her trips to the Philippines and Paris and she hadn’t seen Sebastian yet, not even a glimpse of him. All she had gotten was excuses and not any one of them made any sense but that didn’t stop him from dishing it out regardless and that was what was getting on his nerves, the excuses he was constantly making up.If he was pissed about something, nothing was stopping him from taking it up with her instead of treating her like she didn’t matter. Ava had seen this script before, she had been involved in it more than once and every time she had wanted to call it quits and leave, Sebastian came running back with his tail between his legs, begging her to come back and she was tired of the stop-start nature of their relationship. This wasn’t what they had bargained for, Sebastian had promised to change, he had said they wouldn’t return to the horrors that had plagued them severely in the past. Given her condition, she wasn’t supposed to be under any
“Can I talk to you later, Damian?” Sebastian started. “I’ve got something to deal with and it’s pretty urgent.”“An impromptu business meeting?” “Not today, Ava just came in…” Sebastian trailed off, leaving Damian to fill in the gaps. “I never took you for an office kind of guys, remember to have the cleaners wipe the entire office when you guys are done. I wouldn’t want to come and have the whole office smelling like sex and stuff.”“Get your mind out of the gutter, Damian.” Sebastian laughed for the first time in days. “Your thoughts are always crazy and nasty.”“You can’t blame me, man. I’ve seen the way you look at her. That’s the same way I look at Violet and lord knows we get down to it everywhere and whenever we can.”“You’re going to get her pregnant one of the days,” “I don’t think I’d mind, you know?” Damian mused, just as Ava walked into the office. She was still as stunning as ever, nothing had particularly changed about her physical appearance but she seemed rather rig
Sebastian stared at Ava for a moment, it still seemed so surreal that all he could feel for her right now was hate. A week ago, he was absolutely in love with her but she had to just mess everything up because she could stay away from Jake despite the several times he warned her off him. She wouldn’t listen, she always felt like Jake wasn’t a threat. Heck, she was also trying to convince me to like him as well. But at the first chance she got, she jumped into his bed and lord knows how many times they did it and ended up laughing over his foolishness for trying to love someone like her. “We had something good going on together,” Sebastian started. “We were the model couple of New York and we weren’t faking any of it, it had been as real as it could get but what did you end up doing?”“I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” Ava sounded confused. “Are you angry because I postponed my trip back home? Is that it? I’m sorry, I just couldn’t make it because I had no finish up what
Sebastian wasn’t able to finish his discussion with Ava because he got interrupted twice by an important call he had to take and when he was done, he had to head out to take care of the company’s business. Ava could wait and they could always conclude the meeting later. Despite the hurt on her face, Sebastian ignored her as he walked out of the room and instructed his secretary to lock up after he did. Sebastian checked his watch as he sped past others on the highway. He was hoping she would be home right now, it was a little past eight o’clock. The meeting had run late into the night and rather than come home to Ava yelling and losing his temper, he decided to spend the night at a hotel for both their sakes and confront her the next morning. It had taken him a great deal of sacrifice but he was able to clear his schedule for the rest of the day to deal with the mess Ava created in their relationship. They had to resolve this relationship today and know where they both stood and wh
Sebastian couldn’t believe what he had just heard. There was no way she was pregnant, he wasn’t going to believe this. She was trying to tie down and keep him in this relationship with her by any means necessary and this was the best way to do it if he kicked his pregnant ex-fiancée out of his house, nothing was stopping her from doing a media tour narrating her side of the story and given how many people were in love with her right now, he didn’t need a shaman to tell him the impact it would have on his personal and business life. If she’s been pregnant for a month, why was he just knowing now? It wasn’t making any sense to him and given the situation they were in right now, it was so hard to do the math. She had kept the information from him on purpose and now that she had the whole night to herself to think about how best she could salvage this relationship of theirs, she had come up with a pregnancy scare to keep him always.“I know what’s going on in your head and I know you thi
Sebastian paused at the top of the stairs for a moment before he made his way down, rushing towards Ava who was starting to bleed from a gash on her head already. He let his anger get the best of him and he had unintentionally pushed her off the stairs, he quickly lifted her from the floor and made his way to his car. He could still feel her pulse but he knew he had to get her to a hospital as fast as he could, he didn’t know what excuse he would give right now but he was going to eventually come up with something to hide the truth that he pushed her.He raced in record time to the hospital and the emergency unit was on hand to whisk her away and straight to the theatre. Despite everything that had transpired between the both of them, he was scared of anything major happening to her. He wouldn’t know how to defend himself if it ever came down to that.“Mr. Bancroft,” Sebastian blinked twice as he turned towards the doctor’s voice. Doctor Phil had been his family’s doctor for decade
“So what do you think would be best for the unborn child?” Sebastian asked. “That’s of the utmost importance because I had a rethink and there’s also a chance I might be the father and I wouldn’t want to miss anything involving my child, no matter whatever differences I might have with the mother right now.”“At this moment, you can’t do anything except stay by her side if you can do that but if the problem between the both of you has gone beyond its repairable stage, you can set her up with the required assistance she would need during her pregnancy and when she gives birth, I’ll conduct a DNA test to find out the paternity of the child.”“Thank you, Dr. Phil.” Sebastian began. “I’m grateful for your help.”“What happens if you find out the child isn’t yours?”“We would make the breakup official and I’ll be willing to tell anyone who wants to listen how she cheated on me with some lowlife she met a couple of months ago.”“And what if you find out that the child is yours?”“I’ll take
