Chapter Five
Tia sat on her bed that after she left Hera's place and she knew that she had to do something. Her father was still unrelenting about his decision to have her get married to William, he had portrayed as much that day when she came back from Hera's place. It might even be that the only choice that she had was to tell William about Lloyd. Tia closed her eyes as she imagined what would happen if William heard what she had to say.Tia sighed as she realized how alone she was in, in a house full of siblings. Her brothers were there but they really did not care about her that much, they were just interested in the company.Tia's phone rang yet again and it was William on the phone. The imagine of him on top of the brunette was still hitting her, she was not ready to have a reasonable conversation with him, even if she might not have any other choice than to marry him, he had still cheated on her over and over again and he hurt her in many ways. It was best that they went their separate ways but William would not agree because it seemed that he wanted the company too. When she was younger, she deluded herself that William actually liked her, it took her a while to realize that he didn't, but then she believed that he would learn to love her with time, and then when he proposed to her and when they had sex, she felt that the time for him to love her had come, it only made her feel more hurt when she found out that he was cheating on her at the end.Tia knew that it was time for the relationship to end, it had gone on for too long. She knew what she wanted to do when she picked up the call."Hello, Tia, thank God you picked. I am really sorry Tia. Can we just see each other this evening, I will explain all that happened. I do not want you to over react, it is not what you think," William said when she picked up the call, he did not even wait for her to talk. Tia wondered why he was still calling when he already told her father about what happened and he already knew that her father would definitely force her."Pick me up by 8," Tia said to him. She was going to tell him what happened, she would tell him that she slept with someone else, that would be enough."Oh okay, I will be at your place, I will come early," William said. He sounded very surprised that she agreed, she could not blame him for that."Okay," Tia said and she stops up and went to her wardrobe. She had to scatter the entire wardrobe before she found something slutty enough for her one night stand the previous night, but this time, she did not need to search for long to see something baggy enough to repulse a guy. She wore a grey drab dress and cleaned her face from every form of make up, she wrapped her hair and put on a pair of slippers. She was ready to leave. Tia always dressed pretty for the few dates that she had with William, which were usually planned by their parents so that they would have some time together. Tia would fuss over what to wear and also her makeup and hair, only for William to come looking very casual, as though he was dragged. The dress that she wore was payback for him. Tia went down the stairs when it was passed eight and she saw William seated in the living room with her father. They were both talking about something."Good evening," Tia said and they both looked up, her father frowned when he saw her and Tia saw a slight look of disgust on William's face before he schooled his expression."Good evening, Tia, I see that you are ready to leave," her father said as William stood up, Tia nodded at her father and he smiled."Yes, we are," William replied for her as he moved closer to her and took her hand in his. Tia removed her hand from his by reflex, she did not want him to touch her. She had the vision of him with another woman and the hurt came back. Tia did not want Will to know that he hurt her, and a she walked past Will and started leaving the house."Are you not coming?" She asked Will when she got to the door and he was not there. The man that she was meant to marry as stuck for a moment, he faltered before he nodded and moved to her.William began to talk about things that Tia was not interested in and so she stopped listening to him and just walked to the car. Will seemed to take the hint and stopped talking till they got the restaurant. They got to the restaurant and Will ushered her inside."Isn't this restaurant nice? It is the upcoming place in New York City, all the stars visit this restaurant, I said I should bring you here," Will said as they got into the restaurant and she nodded. Tia looked around and she did admit that the restaurant looked very nice. It was classy and definitely top class. She was clearly under dressed, but it was all for a purpose."It is nice," Tia said and picked collected the menu from the waiter, she looked through the menu and she ordered the cheapest thing."Oh don't worry sweetie, we should both have the special today, don't you think?" Will asked and Tia felt angry. There were parts of the relationship that she did not see before coming to light, he always ordered for her, even times like these that she wanted something else, he always ordered what he wanted from her."It is fine," Tia said. She calmed herself, it was the last day at least, she could bear being his fiancee for one last day."What is it with the dress?" Will asked. They were still waiting for the food and it was clear that it was something on his mind."I like it," Tia said with a smile. She smiled because she knew it would annoy him, she was right."I don't think it is very nice. It is too baggy. I will take you shopping tomorrow," William said and Tia closed her eyes."There is really no need for that," Tia said and the waiter brought their food. William smiled as the phone came in."I insist, I want to spoil you," William said again, there was no mentioned of what happened before. The apology that seemed would not leave his mouth before then was gone."Are you sure you are really sorry?" Tia asked him after the waiter left, she could not help herself, she was really pissed. Will could be so annoying.William just laughed at that and continued eating his good, Tia did not even touch hers."I do not want to marry you," Tia said to Will again and he raised an eyebrow at her. It was clear that he did not take her seriously, he did not think that she could make such a decision and stand by it, she only needed to prove him wrong."That is old news Tia, it has all passed," Will said with a chuckle and tears stained Tia's eyes. She caught him with someone else the previous day and it was already old news to him. Her feelings did not matter to the man, she would not be happy with him."I slept with someone else," Tia said. She was so angry that the words came out even though she was not sure she wanted to say them."What?" Will asked, he shot up from his seat and quickly say down, he was clearly shocked."I had sex with someone else, I cheated back on you," Tia said again, she was smug this time, she wanted him to feel all that she did, all the pain she did.William laughed then, it was not the normal easy going laugh, it was something more sinister."Tell me you are joking," Will said. He was holding the wine glass so hard that Tia thought that he would break it. Tia sighed and rolled her eyes. She did not feel he had the right to be angry, he slept with so many people during the period of their engagement and yet she did nothing."I am not, last night I went to a bar and took one night stand to a hotel, it was the best night of my life, not mediocre like being with you was," Tia spat. She knew that it was too much but she did not even care. It happened so fast that she did not know. William stood up from his chair and dragged her out, he was clearly trying to keep his calm. Tia wanted to dig her foot in the ground and not leave with him, but she was too shocked. Will pushed her into his car and went into the driver's seat.Tia looked at him and saw that he was angry, his face was red and the vein in his head was ticking, he was grinding his teeth so hard. He held the steering as though he wanted to transfer all of his anger to the car steering."You fucking whore! The first chance you have you already fucking your way through New York!" William said and Tia gasped. She was shocked to hear such profanities from William's mouth and to think that they were directed at her. Tia wanted to shout back at him that she was not a whore that she had sex a total of two times but that could not be said by him who fucked all of the models and actresses, but she was too scared to talk."This engagement is over. It is fucking over! There is no way in hell that I am getting married to a hoe!" William shouted again and Tia began to feel fear and then sadness. It was alright for him to have sex with everybody but she did it once and she was the worse person on the planet."You are a hypocrite a big one. I do not want to get married to you anyway so you can keep your thoughts to yourself!" Tia shouted as they got to the front of her father's house. She found her voice then, she opened the door and stepped out of the car and into the. She was surprised to see that William stepped out too."Where are you going?" She asked as she turned back to look at him."Where do you think? To call off this farce of an engagement of course!" Will said and walked past her into her father's house. Tia was shaking when she entered into the house. The thought of what Will would do chilled her. He was going to tell her father that she slept with someone else, her father would be so angry at her."Tia!" Her father shouted and Tia moved from the door to the direction of the living room. William was standing with an angry look on his face. William's anger was annoying her more and more."Yes father," Tia said."I am calling off this marriage Robert, there is no way I can get married to a hoe that sleeps with the entire town," William said easily. Tia saw her father's eyes narrow in anger and felt that there was hope."Tia had a one night stand as a result of our little argument last night," William clarified and Tia closed her own eyes. Things were going to be bad."Is this true Tia?" Robert asked his daughter. Tia raised her head at her father and then nodded. Tia did not see the hand until I landed on her face, the flash of pain that she felt was nothing compared to the fact the betrayal that she felt.Tia gasped and then tears came out of her eyes."I am so very sorry for my daughter's attitude William. I will deal with her. I just hope that we can continue with the plans for the marriage as soon as possible. I will make sure something like this never happens again," Robert said. Tia was shaking with anger and pain. They were talking about her as though she was not there."I don't know Robert, I will talk to my father and we will make a decision. I would like to take my leave," William said and walked out of their house. Tia could only hope that he would walk out of her life.Chapter Six.Tia was resigned, there was not much that she could do, after all, she was powerless, it was all her fault, she could have taken her power when she still had the chance to, but now she was stuck with her father who she was beginning to hate. He clearly loved his company more than he loved her, it was very disheartening discover that the man that birthed her did not love her.Tia sat on her bed and cried throughout the night. Telling William that she cheated did not work at all, instead after that day, her father begged William's father and the engagement was more sealed than ever. She was already getting ready for her engagement party. William somehow got a picture of her leaving the hotel, he was using the picture to threaten her and making her feel terrible for cheating on him, he did not even consider the fact that he cheated first.Tia did not call Hera, she was disappointed in herself and she felt she should just face the consequences, no need to involve her friend.
Chapter SevenFour weeks had passed since when she caught Will cheating on her and when she had sex with Lloyd. Tia was currently getting ready for her engagement party. Her wedding date was set, it was in six months as society weddings took a lot of time to prepare for. Tia was even more downcast than she was before. She had given up entirely on trying to break off her relationship with William. She had basically been sold to a beast. Tia had called Hera after then and they had talked, Hera tried to tell Tia that she should be more assertive and fight for her rights, but Tia was not hearing any of that. She had lost hope entirely. She did not feel that anything could happen again, she was going to get married to William, nothing that she would do would change that."Tia, do you want gloss or no gloss?" The make up artiste that was getting her ready for the engagement party asked her, and Tia looked at the lady."Gloss please," she replied."Oh no, no. No gloss would be better for yo
Chapter Eight.The party was in full swing but all Tia wanted was to go home."It is now time for the couple's dance," The MC said and Will took her hand, Tia let him lead her to the dance floor.Tia could feel the eyes of the entire people around her as Will drew her close and they began to dance together.Tia felt sick as she was so close to him. His grip was too strong, he led too harshly. He was definitely not the model partner.The crowd cheered at them and more people joined them on the dancefloor. Tia was taken from man to man as the dance hitched. It was not long until she found herself in the arms of Lloyd. Tia was shocked to see him at the party, and even more shocked to be in his arms.Her body seemed to remember him as her nipples tightened and her heart beat quickened. The dance between them was fluid and sweet. They moved together to the beat of the song and Tia wished that she was marrying him instead.She remembered what Hera had said before she came for the engagement
Chapter NineTia kept calm for the rest of the ride back home. Her mind was all on the pregnancy tests that she bought and how she would use them when she got home. She needed to get rid of the gnawing feeling inside her heart."Thank you, Ian," Tia said as her brother parked in front of her father's house."Do you want me to see you off? To escort you inside. I should greet mom," Ian said with a smile and Tia shook her head."That will be okay, thank you very much. I appreciate what you did for me," Tia said."You are welcome," Ian said."Take good care of yourself and do not forget to call me," he continued and then Tia walked into the house.She figured that Ian was on her side. She had someone new in her corner. It was a feeling that she liked to have someone with her that is.She held her ball gown and the rubber bag with her as she walked into the living room."Where are you coming from?" Her father thundered as she entered into the house. Tia was shocked to hear his voice as sh
Chapter Ten.Tia sighed and got down of the car as the driver parked in front of the Rowling mansion.The house was truly a mansion, Tia had been brought up in riches so she was not easily impressed, but she was quite impressed by the house that was the Rowling mansion.William lived there and that was something that she did not like at all. Even though they are not the children of her father, Tia felt it odd that a man that was already twenty-nine still lived with his parents.William was not much different from her, he was still very much controlled by his father.Tia did not like the fact that she would get married and have to live with Isla. The fact that Elsa would also be in the picture was the only thing that gave her hope.She walked out of the car and sashayed into the house. Tia had learnt from a young age that appearance was all that mattered. Even when her father was in recession and debt, she would still buy the finest clothes and the most expensive shoes so that their in
Chapter Eleven"I think I am pregnant," Tia said to Hera. She took in a deep breath and closed her eyes in prayer as she said it. It felt different to say it, it felt so real. Like the child was really in her stomach, living and depending on her."What do you mean? I thought you said you saw your period?" Hera asked. She was clearly panicking."I thought I saw my period, but it was barely there. So I took home tests, I took five. Three were positive," Tia told her friend."Home tests are not very reliable. but I am scared Hera. I am so scared. I want to do a blood test but my father is restricting my movement. Would I only know if I am pregnant when my stomach starts to swell?" Tia asked. She was panicking."Just relax Tia. Relax, you might not be pregnant. Are you experiencing any nausea?" Hera asked and Tia frowned from the other side of the phone."Are you a doctor Hera? I had three positive tests, 3/5. How do I deal with that?" Tia asked. She was so stressed out."Just relax. We c
Chapter Twelve"You do," Tia said and Ian stared at her. He could not believe what she was on about. How the hell would he know the father of her child? He barely knew what was going on in her life before now."How would I know the person? Who is it?" Ian asked her and Tia sighed, she was ashamed of what happened it was hard to say his name out."The father of my child is Lloyd Patterson," Tia managed to say out loud. "What?" Ian exclaimed. He would have never expected that. Lloyd was the last person that Ian would put that impregnated his sister. Lloyd has been his friends for years and he was not a ladies man. Ian was finding it hard to think that his friend did that. It was something that he could do, not Lloyd. His friend seemed to keep his distance from the female gender."This is really quite surprising. I did not take Lloyd as one that was interested in women in general. I did not even know that you knew the man," Ian said to her. He was scratching his head. So much had happen
Chapter Thirteen- Planning PhaseTia walked into her house with mix feelings, she was not still sure what to think about her pregnancy, if she was meant to be happy or sad. Tia was leaning towards sad, she might noy be able to bring her child into the world, and even if she could, she would not be able to care for the child. She would be a terrible mother if she was one at all.Tia was lost in her thoughts as she entered into the living room."What is this?" Her father asked and Tia gasped in shock, he was holding a positive pregnancy test. Tia looked at it and shook her head. That meant he had been in her room and was looking in her things."Why were you in my room? Do I not have a shred of privacy in this house?" Tia asked. She was shaking in anger."It is my house. Are you pregnant?" Her father asked and Tia felt like crying. That was not how she imagined it would happen. She thought that maybe she would have enough to time to rest and to think about what she would do before she wo
Chapter Twenty One.Tia imagined her wedding day a lot of times. She thought that she would wear a white gown and she will be walking down the aisle with the man of her dreams in a larger than life church that housed a million and one guests, but she would be happy and that would be the best thing that happened to her, it would be the happiest day of her life.Many things about her current wedding were wrong. The first thing was the fact that she was not wearing a gown, but an over sized shirt and a pair of jeans, the second thing was the man, she was not getting married to the man of her dreams, or the man of her nightmares these days, but she was getting married to a man that she barely knew, but at the very least, she was getting married willingly.The third thing that was wrong was the fact that she was about to throw up. She was pregnant, she would have never pregnant in the wedding that she had in her head, but there she was, standing in front of a man that did not look fit to b
Chapter Twenty"Are you taking me to your house?" Tia asked Lloyd as he drove."We are going to Vegas," Lloyd said and Tia looked at him shocked. What the hell was he talking about?"Vegas?" Tia asked and Lloyd nodded."You heard me loud and clear," Lloyd said."But why? What are we going to do there?" Tia asked. It was like she was being thrown from one to another."We are going to get married," Lloyd said."Married?" Tia shouted, she began to shake her head then."I do not want to get married. Why do you think I would want to get married, I was running from another marriage just now!" Tia shouted. She could not deal with all of that, she was just celebrating her escape from her father and William Rowling and now this? "Do you think your father will stop at this? He will try to kidnap you back and have you marry William, he cannot do that if we are already married. Besides, we are having a baby, and who says it has to be forever?" Lloyd asked and Tia looked him she was starting to s
Chapter NINETEEN "I will get her out of that house even if it means I have to kidnap her," Lloyd said when he got to Ian's office. The office looked more like a studio than anything, but Lloyd was not judging, it was the choice of his friend. He liked the entertainment world more than the business world."You will probably have to kidnap her, my stepfather will not let her go easily," Ian said and Lloyd nodded. He was regretting going to the office to see him at all, he probably put Tia in even more danger."If that is what I need to do, then I will do it," Lloyd said."Has anyone heard from Tia? We will need her insight on how to get her out," Lloyd said and Ian shook his head."I can help with that insight. From what I know and I have heard. My stepfather locked her inside her room and took away her communication devices yesterday. He is going to make a move very soon. We have to move with him," Ian said and Lloyd nodded."You need to help me, please. Please go to the house and se
Chapter Eighteen.As Lloyd stood in front of Robert Wilson's office, what Hera said the day before came back to him. What truly would he do if Robert asked him to marry his daughter instead? Lloyd could count the number of words that he had said to Tia Wilson, but she was carrying his child and that was enough to spark protectiveness in him. He was not interested in relationships in general, but there was no way he would let his child be hurt. The picture of the child was not yet concrete in his mind, but he knew that in less than nine months a child would come and the he would have his DNA, the child would be his.Lloyd was not what he would do with the child, if he was ready to be a father. Some of the people that he went to highschool with already had children and it seemed like it was the universe telling him that it was time.There was also the fact that Tia happened to be William's fiancee. Lloyd had a strong gut feeling that Robert Wilson was the Rowling's new fish and they wou
Chapter SeventeenHera stood by Ian's side as he made the call to Lloyd. She was still in shock after what happened in the office. She could not believe that William had said all that when she told him that Tia was pregnant. Hera was feeling guilty for carrying out the plan. If Lloyd did not agree to help them out, Tia would end up losing her child and being with that man forever. And she was the one that told him that Tia was pregnant. With this revelation from her, Hera was positive that William would tell Tia's father to make sure that he sees the termination of Tia's pregnancy."Hello, Lloyd. We have a situation," Ian said on the phone."What happened?" Lloyd asked from the other end."It is about Tia. We need to get her out of that house before William or her father tries something drastic. William was told that was pregnant for another man and he was not fazed. He said that it was a simple as an abortion. Tia would not want to have one on her own and it is clear that they will
Chapter Sixteen.Hera took in a deep breath as she looked at the building in front of her, Rowling Advertising it said. Hera was not very impressed by grandeur and beauty, she had even grown to hate it with time, because it all represented her parents and their greed, their never ending need to make even more. Wealth was enticing, but it was like an addiction, you keep wanting more and more. There was more wealth to acquire, more power to put your hands on. It never ended. It seemed like Tia's father had gotten the greed too, or he was being blackmailed, either way, he wanted more and more and that was not something that Tia could give him. She would not allow her friend to be in such a marriage.The stakes have been raised even higher as Tia was pregnant, for another man. Hera knew that money and fear could make people very desperate and have them do things that t hey would originally not be part of. Hera did not see Robert Wilson as the kind of man that would force his daughter to c
Chapter FifteenLloyd thought about what he was going to do about the Tia's pregnancy. He was not ready for a child and ordinarily he would have asked her for an abortion, but he knew that it was partly his fault and that she was certainly not kind of girl.There was also the fact that no one had ever gotten pregnant for him before then, he even began to worry if he was actually okay, but the she had shown up. Lloyd did not have any plans for a child, or even for a relationship in general, he just wanted to carry out his revenge on the Rowlings for what they did to his father and his family in general.Tia was William Rowling's fiancee and Lloyd did not believe in coincidences, William was going to marry Tia Wilson for a reason and Lloyd knew that it was not love, he knew that it would have to do more with money. Lloyd decided that he was going to take it away from William, he knew that there was a possibility that the child was not his, but he figured it could also be a part of the r
Chapter Fourteen.Tia had a very fitful sleep that night, it was not easy to get any rest at all when she knew that what happened the next day will determine how her life would be for a long time.Tia woke up and she remembered what Lloyd had said the previous day. The plan was to let her father take her to the hospital the next day and then when the test came out as positive, she should tell her father carefully what happened and wait for his response.That was not the original plan as Lloyd planned on taking her from her father's house that night, but Tia strongly disagreed. She still had hope in her father, he will he very angry but he would understand. If he was the same man that played with her when she was younger that attended her tea parties and said yes to everyone of her desires, then he would definitely not force her to get married to Will.Tia took her bath and put on a simple grey dress, she did not have the strength to try to look pretty that day.She brought out her pho
Chapter Thirteen- Planning PhaseTia walked into her house with mix feelings, she was not still sure what to think about her pregnancy, if she was meant to be happy or sad. Tia was leaning towards sad, she might noy be able to bring her child into the world, and even if she could, she would not be able to care for the child. She would be a terrible mother if she was one at all.Tia was lost in her thoughts as she entered into the living room."What is this?" Her father asked and Tia gasped in shock, he was holding a positive pregnancy test. Tia looked at it and shook her head. That meant he had been in her room and was looking in her things."Why were you in my room? Do I not have a shred of privacy in this house?" Tia asked. She was shaking in anger."It is my house. Are you pregnant?" Her father asked and Tia felt like crying. That was not how she imagined it would happen. She thought that maybe she would have enough to time to rest and to think about what she would do before she wo
