The Billionaire's Secret: A Nasty Web of Lies Chapter 26
"You're nine weeks pregnant." The doctor's words echoed in Lena's head, leaving her frozen as she tried to process the words, one by one.'There you go. You're now housing a monster's child.' Lena's mind spiralled in mockery."Miss?" the doctor called again, pulling her out of the cage in her head. Lena blinked, a single tear slipping down her cheek. "What the fuck are you talking about?" she muttered, her heart pounding in her chest.The doctor's face got serious. "Okay, calm down. Take a deep breath." She said and placed the clipboard on a nearby table, then placed her hands gently on the bed which Lena sat. "What's your name?" 'You knew this would happen, didn't you? You harlot.' her conscience mocked. 'And you're nine weeks gone!'Her chest tightened, and another tear dropped. "It's not possible." She whispered."What's your name, please?" The doctor asked, with more concern this time.Lena dragged a shaky breath, clutching onto the sheets covering her body tightly. "Lena." She

Lena's heart skipped a beat, and a sharp pain shot through her stomach as if the fear she felt had spread.For a few seconds, silence filled the room, and a dampness hung in the air as Lena and Dr. Hailey stared at Cecil, whose sharp eyes were fixed on Lena.'Now, you're really in trouble''She's going to have your head!''How long has she been there?' Lena's head was a mess as every word she thought to say was caught in her throat. "G-good day, ma'am."Dr. Hailey greeted with an uneasy grin on her face.Cecil stepped into the room, her expression unreadable. She wasn't smiling. "Is that true?" She asked again, her voice calm but demanding.Lena's legs felt like they were about the give out and she gripped the bed for some kind of comfort. "I-is what true?" She asked, her lips quivering. Cecil folded her arms with her red painted lips twisted in a suspicious line. "What you said about your child. Is Thane actually the father?" 'Is Thane the father?' The question rang in her head so

"You're what?!" Alex yelled in horror, but Lena didn't try to shut her up this time as she silently prayed Alex would yell loud enough so the child would just disappear, maybe. "Tell me you're joking, Lena." She said, sitting beside Lena on the bed. Lena just hugged her knees and buried her head between her legs. "I wish." She mumbled, accompanied by a faint moan. "I don't want to keep it." Concern flashed across Alex's face, and she placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hey don't talk like that, alright? Besides, his mom already accepted it." "His mom wants it, but he doesn't, Alex. He hates me!" She wailed. Alex patted her head gently. "Hey, we don't know that," she said, but it only made Lena raise her head and glare at her. "Really? Have you seen the way he treats me?" 'How would she know? You refused to tell her that her boss has a BDSM chamber in this house.' Lena groaned and buried her head back between her legs. "I should have gotten rid of it the moment I noticed."

As soon as Lena stepped into the room, the door clicked shut behind her. She stood a few feet away from Thane, staring at her feet while nervously tugging at her fingers. "Yoqu wanted to see me?" she asked softly, her voice barely audible.Thane turned his wheelchair to face her fully. His dark eyes scanned her features, as if trying to find the tiniest quality that could make him believe she was worth keeping around-worth marrying.But he got nothing.She was still that unsure, clumsy, little girl who'd once thought she could defy him and get away with it.'I'll never let you go,' his mind hissed.Thane's eyes dropped from her head to her stomach. It was still quite flat, but the harder he looked, the more he saw a little bulge begin to form.'My child is in there?' he thought, but soon enough, Lena shifted on one foot and he realized he was keeping two people standing. "Have a seat." He finally said.Lena hesitated and raised her head slowly to be sure he was talking to her. She th

A heavy silence filled the air as Lena stared at Cecil, searching for a reaction or any form of emotion to what she'd just confessed. But she got nothing from Cecil, whose expression remained unchanged for a few more seconds.But finally, she crossed her legs, a small frown forming on her brows. "What do you mean?" she asked calmly.Lena bit her lips and looked away, silently begging the tears pooling beneath her eyes not to fall.This was the first time she was speaking about it and she never thought the memory would hurt this much.She tugged carelessly at her fingers, searching for the words to begin and surprisingly, Cecil was patient enough, giving her enough time she needed."The day I found out I was pregnant was the day Adrian was supposed to go to jail." She began, her voice trembling as she remembered the pleading look on Adrian's face when the police stormed into their house. "I'd just gotten back from the hospital and the test results were in my hands." She continued shak

The drive back to the house seemed longer than when they'd come, but that wasn't what bothered Lena as the woman's voice from child protection rang in her ears."What do you mean?" Cecil had asked with a deep frown."It says he died twenty-two hours after he was brought in because of the way he was born, and some other complications." Lena felt a sharp pain in her chest, like a physical blow, and she almost physically felt blood shoot up to her throat.'It's not possible!' her mind screamed as she unconsciously stumbled backwards, her knees almost giving out."Please, check again." Lena said, trying to get a grip on herself and convincing herself that the lady had gone mad. "It can't be my Aaron." The woman just stared straight into Lena's eyes and shook her head, her eyes filled with sympathy. "I'm sorry, ma'am." She said quietly."Are you sure of what you're saying?" Cecil asked, but the woman nodded, confirming what she'd just said. Lena turned away, her sight beginning to blur,

"Why do we have to go to your cousin's house?" Mira groaned for like the hundredth time that morning, holding a scowl on her pretty face.Adrian ignored her, pretending to be very focused on massaging her leg that rested on his lap, as the car cruised smoothly along the highway.He really didn't want to answer her questions as they always went through this argument circle over and over each time he brought up Thane.But he was patient. After all, she was pregnant.Mira, annoyed by his silence, frowned when she got no reply from him. Suddenly, she leaned forward and nudged him on his shoulder. "Answer me!" She demanded, her voice raising slightly.Finally, Adrian turned to her, a look of partial exhaustion written all over his face. "He just got out of the hospital, Mira. It's only human to go see him." He explained softly before returning to massaging her leg."Besides, you didn't let me spend some time with him the last time we went visiting."Mira's frown morphed into a mixture of d

With the corner of her eye, Lena stole glances at Thane as he typed away on the screen in front of him, while she laid the duvet smoothly over his bed.Apparently, she still did chores around his room, only that there were now extra jobs, and she did them all while wearing fancy outfits Cecil had gotten her. "What is that?" Thane suddenly said, jolting Lena out of her thoughts as she turned to him. "What?" She asked quietly, standing straight with her hands clasped in front of her.Thane just raised an eyebrow at her and pointed to his other ear, which was out of her view, indicating he was on a call. "Oh." she mumbled before letting her eyes search the large, sparkling room for something else she could do."Did you find them?" Thane's voice came again. "Good, now put them on the next flight to Canada." He said and paused again. "His wife, a good job, and the kids, good schools, understood?" It's been days since the entire drama about her pregnancy, but all Thane had made her feel

'She's carrying your child, forgive her.' Thane repeated in his head, his eyes on his phone as they rode in silence back home. Lena on the other hand kept her eyes out the window trying to steady her shaky hands which were still clutching the card Adrian had given her.'Why is he so quiet? You literally ignored him again in front of Adrian.' her mind panicked, forcing herself to focus on the passing scenery along the road.Thane shifted in his seat, his body itching to grab her by the arm and squeeze her neck while he questioned her about the reason she still had the guts to speak to Adrian.'Your child is growing inside her. Dante said-'"What's in your hand?" he blurted, ignoring the voice in his head.Lena's breath hitched, and she tightened her grip on the card. "Nothing important." She replied, the firmness of her voice surprising her."Don't-" "Did you love Tessa?" Lena swiftly interrupted, her panic boiling down a little as she changed the subject.Thane lifted his head and t

Lena turned away, focusing her eyes on the headstones again as if trying to read the names on each one. She wrapped her arms tighter around herself, avoiding Adrian's gaze."What are you doing here?" She finally spoke, her voice soft."I saw what happened between you and Thane." He answered, ignoring her question.Lena's jaw clenched. 'Son of a bitch!' she frowned, keeping her eyes on the misspelt name on a marble headstone."So? You stalk me now?" She asked, trying to mask the lingering hurt still shimmering inside her. "I shouldn't have interfered. It was none of my business.""Or maybe..." Adrian chipped in smoothly, "He just doesn't respect you or your feelings."Lena's gaze snapped to his.Adrian's eyes were dark, unreadable–just like Thane's. That was the one thing they shared, a reminder that they were blood.She turned away again, brushing her fingers against the frame of the glasses she'd taken off. "Don't say that." A brief smile appeared on Adrian's face. "You don't see it

More than half the seats in the graveyard were already filled up when the black tinted SUV pulled up in between the other luxury cars, followed by two other cars.A man stepped out from one car and opened the SUV's back door where Thane sat, while another did the same on the opposite side for Lena. Then Lena circled around to grab Thane's wheelchair.'You're not supposed to be here, you know. Fiance snatcher!' her conscience mocked once more, as she set the chair close to Thane's door, so he got on it easily.Without wasting more time, they approached the main grounds.If one looked closely at Lena's legs, one would see that they were shaking as they got closer to where the rite was performed.What made it worse was the multiple pairs of eyes which had turned and were looking straight at them.Overall, Lena was grateful she'd picked out her outfit herself-a long black netted gown with a hood to cover her hair. The main purpose was to hide her entire body. Coupled with the dark shades

"So you let her lie in your bed just to ease your conscience?" Dante's voice echoed through the large, spacious, but well- equipped gym as he moved a barbell with his foot.Thane wheeled over to the area Dante had cleared for him. And with effort accompanied by a groan, he stood up. "Fuck." He muttered and stumbled back a bit. Dante instinctively stepped forward, but Thane waved him off.Slowly, he walked over to the workout bench and slowly lowered himself on it, trying his best not to put too much pressure on his back."I feel like a fucking vegetable." He said, steadying himself on the bench and yanking off his upper clothes so he was shirtless."You okay?" Dante asked, watching Thane closely. A bead of sweat rolled down the side of his face and soaked his black tank top, indicating he was previously working out."Hand me the dumbbell." Thane ordered, ignoring Dante's little attempt to be caring. Dante passed it over with ease, but as Thane took it, a strained grunt escaped his lip

The silence between both men was thick with curiosity, malice and resentment, as they busied themselves with their thoughts in Thane's yard.Adrian, standing, gripped a glass of wine in his hands as his eyes shifted from left to right, scanning the area for nothing in particular, lost in his head.Thane on the other hand sat in his wheelchair thinking of how wonderful it'll feel having a mini him running around in a tiny suit and tie ready to learn all what he was going to teach him.'It might not be that bad after all. All you need to do is literally get off your ass and take charge of that little girl who's going to be your wife.'"What's your plan, Thane?" Adrian suddenly broke the silence, his voice calm, but there was a clear edge to his tone.Thane didn't respond immediately, as if searching for the right words to say, but deep down, he could feel Adrian's tension.Only a fool would not see that Adrian still wanted Lena, and Thane was planning to make it hard for him-or kill him
