Chapter 2

 

“Miss, are you up?” I heard a voice over me.

 

My head hurt so badly, and my eyes felt so heavy that I could hardly open them up. I could feel the pain coming from my belly, and it hurt so badly. 

 

I managed to open up my eyes, and it slowly scanned around the room. Seeing the nurse in front of me, I could guess that I had woken up at the hospital.

 

“You are at the hospital, Miss. How are you feeling?” I heard the nurse's soft voice again. 

 

“M-my baby.” I whimpered. That was the only thing I could think of at the moment.

 

I knew my life had already gone down the drain, but my baby was the only hope I had left.

 

“Let me get you the doctor.” I heard the nurse mumble as she scampered away from my sight.

 

I heard some footsteps approaching, and I knew the nurse was back with the doctor. My eyes had become clearer, and I could observe everything around me quite well.

 

“Miss, We already called your guardian. They will be here soon.” I heard the doctor’s voice the moment he reached my side.

 

My eyes snapped open widely. They called Lucas? 

 

Just the mention of his name brought a little tear to the corner of my eyes. Tears formed in my eyes, and they streamed down afterward. 

 

“Ma’am, are you okay? Are you feeling pain anywhere?” The nurse asked concerned. 

 

“No.” I wiped off my tears.

 

“But why did you call my guardian? Is anything wrong with my baby?” I asked.

 

Why would they call Lucas when they could just discharge me and let me go home? 

 

I was suddenly so scared. Did anything wrong happen?

 

“D-did anything happen to my baby?” I asked the second time, and I managed to sit up on the hospital bed. 

 

“What about her guardian?” The doctor asked the female nurse. 

 

“He isn’t here yet.” The nurse responded by shaking her head negatively.

 

He took a glance at his watch. 

 

“It’s been over an hour since we called. I guess I have to break the news to her.” The doctor mumbled, turning to my side.

 

My brows snapped together tightly.

 

“What news?” I blinked, unable to get the whole drama.

 

“Ma’am, I’m sorry to inform you, but you lost your pregnancy.” The doctor revealed to my face.

 

I was left completely shattered and dumbfounded. I mean, no way that would happen. I could have just broken some bones and broken my legs, but there is no way I will lose my baby, my only hope.

 

I broke down into tears, ignoring the people around me. The doctor left after some while, and I was left alone.

 

More tears kept streaming down my face. I couldn’t take it, but no matter how much I cried, I couldn’t find anyone at my side to wipe off those tears for me.

 

Lucas was nowhere to be found.

 

I just wanted him by my side at this minute at least. I just wanted to be right next to me, patting me and telling me it would be okay at least for the night.

 

Just at the same minute, I watched the door open, and just like I hoped for, Lucas walked in. I guess the gods were still by my side. they hadn’t forsaken me completely.

 

“Lucas.. I.. lost my baby.” I break the news to my husband in tears.

 

However, there was this expression on his face that I couldn’t understand. 

 

His demeanor was different.

 

“Are you okay?” He asked, standing at the foot of the bed. 

 

How could he ask if I was okay? There was no way that I would.

 

I was expecting him to come to my side, pull me into a hug, and pat my back, but Lucas was far away from me instead, asking me questions.

 

“Is that the only thing you are going to ask?” I wiped my tears.

 

Lucas looked so frustrated like he was forced to come down here. 

 

“Don’t start this again. Sienna, what else am I expecting to ask?” He groaned angrily.

 

“I’m your wife, Lucas. You are expected to do more than this. I just lost my child, our baby.” 

 

Even though I didn’t want to cry again, more tears streamed down my face. 

 

“Then what am I expected to do? Wail along with you?” Lucas said harshly, and I was left in shock.

 

I was taken aback.

 

Lucas can be this heartless?

 

He inhaled sharply and took a few steps closer to me. 

 

He suddenly took out an envelope from his pocket. My brows snapped together at the familiarity. It was the same paper he had given me in the morning.

 

“Let's get a divorce. The only thing we are holding on to is gone. I love Lisa, and I want to be with her.” He spilled to my face. 

 

I was left completely stunned.

 

“These are the divorce papers. Just sign them quietly.” He added. 

 

I had just lost my baby, but the only thing Lucas could think of was to give me the divorce papers.

 

The only thing I wanted beside me was my darling husband, but instead, a divorce paper was placed right beside her by him.

 

My lashes trembled, and a pool of fresh tears fell from my eyes.

 

I never imagined that I had married a beast, a monster. 

 

“You are divorcing me for your uncle’s wife?” 

 

“Just get it down, Sienna. You know I don’t like being kept waiting.” He rolled his eyes at me with disgust.

 

“Here is a compensation f*e. I put in a million dollars for you,” Lucas added, passing a different envelope across to me.

 

He is offering a million dollars for compensation. That’s all I got for loving Lucas? 

 

“I don’t need your money!” I yelled, throwing back the envelope to him even though I had no penny. 

 

“I don’t care about that. Stop acting this way and sign the divorce papers.” He grunted at my face. 

 

My hands trembled, and I slowly took the pen he passed to me. I could feel my heart shattering into pieces as I inserted my signature into the divorce papers. 

 

When I was done, I watched the satisfactory smile that escaped from Lucas’s lips.

 

“Good girl.”

 

With that, he turned to the door, and I watched the door open again. My face was instantly covered with horror the moment I watched Lisa catwalk in.

 

“Are you done with her?” I heard her sexy voice as usual.

Seeing her clearly reminded me of what Lisa looked like. A lady with long legs and a slender, curvy body, she had a pair of brown eyes that matched her brown hair. She had been a beauty goddess since we were in college.

 

He didn’t come alone? Lucas came with his mistress to oversee our divorce!

 

I was completely shattered.

 

What have I done to deserve all this? 

I did all I could to love Lucas, but this was the thing I got in return.

 

“Yes, honey. Let's return home.” I watched him smile so broadly to her. 

 

They linked arms and walked out of the ward, leaving me behind. 

 

My heart ached so badly that I found more tears streaming down my cheek. 

 

I was left completely devastated. Even the only hope I had held on to was gone.

 

Just then the door was opened again. I thought Lucas was back to his senses and came back to me, but I was a little surprised to see it wasn’t Lucas. This time It was Lisa who had a clear smirk on her face.

 

I watched her sway her hips to my side.

 

“Why are you back here? Are you here to gloat?” I screamed in her face. 

 

“Gloat? I'm here to shame you, bitch. I can’t believe you are crying,” she laughed maniacally. 

 

She moved close to my side and leaned a little closer to my ears.

 

“Lucas had always belonged to me. You are the one who stole him away, I did nothing wrong with snatching him back.” She whispered into my ears.

 

“You left him, Lisa.” I cried.

 

She fucking left him for another man, which was his uncle.

 

“How can you do that to me, Lisa? We are friends. what about his uncle? What are you going to say to him?” I asked her. I was really curious about that.

 

She stood straight, glaring at my eyes, and a smirk tugged at the corner of her lips.

 

“We are never friends, Lisa. I always hated you.” She said to my face, and I could see the rage in her eyes.

 

“How dare you try to make friends with me? How dare you covet what I own? I was never in your league, and I wanted you to know that.” She spat at my face.

 

“And for Lucas's uncle, I am divorcing him. He is no longer my taste. I will be getting married to Lucas whether you both like it or not.” She scorned.

When she was done with me, she walked towards the door, ready to leave, but suddenly, Lisa stopped and turned to face me.

“And I hope you like my little gift,” Lisa beamed. Her gaze slowly fell on my tummy, and a deadly smirk tugged at the corner of her lips. 

 

My brows furrowed.

 

I couldn’t understand, maybe I didn’t want to believe the thoughts coming to me.

 

“I’m sorry, but I couldn’t watch any other lady carry my man’s child. Lucas belongs to only me.” Lisa shrugged at my face and she confirmed my fear at last.

 

Lisa was behind my accident? She killed my baby!

I didn’t want to cry in front of Lisa, but I didn’t know when I broke down into tears.

 

She laughed crazily and walked out of the room, leaving me alone.

 

My tears streamed down freely. I felt like dying; I felt like putting an end to my miserable life.

 

A phone suddenly buzzed beside me. It continued to ring, and after a short time, I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes. I reached out for the phone beside me and picked up the call.

“What do you want?” I asked coldly to the person on the other end of the phone.

 

“I think it’s time to return home, Miss. Your mother is dying.” The voice revealed, and I panicked.

 

“Mother is sick?”

 

Ignoring my weak body, I struggled out of bed. I knew I needed to return home at once. I needed to see my mother. 

 

"Ma’am, you can’t go yet!” I heard the nurse's voice behind me, but I ignored it. I made my way out of the hospital, but unfortunately, the nurse caught up with me. She grabbed my hand, and I watched her breathe heavily, trying to catch her breath. “Let me go!” I tried to yank my hand free, but she was so strong. “The doctor needs to talk to you. He needs to talk to you urgently,” she revealed. I squinted my eyes. “What’s going on?” 

 

**

 

“What do you mean?” I asked, looking at the doctor, completely dumbfounded. “I’m sorry, but there was a mix-up with the results,” the doctor said, lowering his head a little. “There is nothing wrong with your baby. You only hurt your thigh, which is why you bled so much.” The doctor paused and glanced at me to see if I was following, and of course, I was. 

 

“There was only a mix-up due to the shift. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience.” He added looking apologetic.

 

“Your baby is perfectly fine, and I’m sure you are happy to hear that,” the nurse added, smiling brightly at me. However, I maintained a little frown on my face. “Would you like to proceed with the antenatal care at our hospital, ma’am?” the female nurse asked. 

  “I would like to abort the baby,” I mumbled. I watched their faces drop in shock, and the two exchanged glances. “What? Sorry, miss?” The doctor blinked, turning back to me. “I would like to get rid of the monster’s baby!” My eyes sparkled with fury.
