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
Ava was finally going to be discharged today. She had worked her back to good health with the aid of Dr. Phil and the constant nags from her sister and her best friends. While she wasn’t a fan of the stress they put her through, she was glad that they had gone through the struggle of making sure she never skipped her meals or her meds. It had helped her take her mind of Sebastian, Dr. Phil hadn’t managed to convince him to come see her even once and while she had the slightest hint that he wasn’t really taking up her complaints and requests to Sebastian, she could understand why Dr. Phil was a professional and it was difficult enough to maintain a cordial relationship with two partners in a complicated relationship.It would be best if she sorted out her mess by herself without the help of anyone. But what she was most grateful for was the fact that her friends had decided not to inquire about Sebastian’s unavailability until she properly recovered. They didn’t want to set her back f
Dejected, Ava falls to the floor and sobs. Her relationship was over and she was pregnant with a man that didn’t want anything to do with her or her baby. This was the most painful moment of her life because she had no idea what she wanted to do right now, her head was blank and bereft of ideas. She didn’t know who to call or where to start from, she had never been so lost in her entire life even when her parents died, she could still hold on to a center, Kim. But now, there was nothing and there was no one. Her sister and best friends had their own lives to live now and she’d taken up so much of their time during her days in the hospital and she couldn’t bring herself to ask for any much more, it would be ridiculous at the very least. Ava rubbed her stomach as she wiped the back of her eyes with the other hand. She wished she could go back in time to right the wrongs that had taken place but she couldn't, which meant she had to pick up what was left of her life and try to rebuild f
It’s not going to change anything or affect anything either,” Sebastian continued to argue.“Who says it would?” Damian retorted. “I’m only seeking clarifications and nothing else. I love both of you to bits and I want the best for every party involved. Now, will you answer my questions and stop beating around the bush like a dummy?” Sebastian poured the contents of the bottle down his throat at a go before tossing it into the refuse bin. “A couple of weeks earlier, right about when it was time for Ava to come home from her trip to the Philippines, I got a call from Jake and—““Isn’t Jake the same guy you’ve always been talking about with much contempt and hate that you couldn’t even disguise no matter what?” Damian cut in, the story had started in a manner that he never expected. They have been through good times without Jake being involved and he couldn’t figure out why he was present in this story right now. “Will you let me finish before you say anything else?” Sebastian snappe
Damian found his way to Sebastian’s email and stared at the pictures for a couple of minutes, trying to find one little error or mistake that would give it away as a doctored photograph but it was difficult. If it was doctored, the editor who made this was a genius but to clear his doubts and to make certain that his best friend wasn’t being fooled by Jake, he would enlist the help of a professional to determine the authenticity of the photographs he was staring at. “Can I borrow your laptop for a couple of days?” Damian asked, shutting the laptop down, he’d seen enough. “What for?” Sebastian asked, staring at him through the corner of his eyes as he stared at the sun with his sunglasses on. “I’ve got a friend who’s good with these kinds of stuff, I’m hoping to give him the laptop so he’d help me out with a couple of things I need to find out.”“Are you talking about the photographs Jake sent to me, Damian?” Sebastian removed his sunglasses and turned towards him.“Yes, that’s what
