"Whatttt?" Nancy stared in shock at Rita with her heart rate brutally going up and down."Oh please, spare me that crap and stop behaving all innocent!" Lilian's voice came through."Sis," Rita tried to caution Lilian upon seeing how scared Nancy was."What? Let's call a spade a spade, Rita. What the hell is all of these? I can't believe I have to deal with all this bullshit right now!!!""Stop panicking, we still have to take the test to know the way forward.""Come on, what fucking test? You know your onions well enough for me to start doubting you.""Just calm down. And please stop walking up and down." Rita turned her attention to Nancy, still holding her hands, she could see the terrified look on Nancy's face and apart from that, she could see unshed tears in her eyes which made her give her hand a light squeeze."How.....www come?" She found herself whispering, finding it very hard to wrap her mind around what Rita told her."Dear God, please save me from murdering someone today
Nancy nodded, not looking into Rita's eyes."We all have sex, Nancy. This isn't a topic you should be shy about."In my case It is. I really don't know how it happened. We used protection." She sniffled."Those things aren't 100% guaranteed. I would advise that we go for the test, then we know what to do."Knowing she didn't have much of a choice, She nodded."How long will it take?""To get the results? Just a couple of minutes. We would be going to the family hospital and because you're from the Matins, I'm certain you'll be instantly attended to. Plus, I can also pull a few strings."......................Never had Nancy been so scared in her life. With the way her heart was pounding and with the way so many thoughts were going through her head, She had no idea how she got into the car with Rita. They occupied the back seats while the driver drove.They got to the hospital in no time and just as promised, Rita pulled a few strings. The doctor received them, he took her to the lab
Lilian knew it was probably irresponsible of her to be drinking in the garden at this hour of the day when she ought to be preparing to welcome her visitors who were arriving for dinner in a few hours, but she couldn't care less as her brain was frozen, and mind was all over the place.She gulped down some liquor from her glass cup, loving the strong feeling it had on her throat, trying to shake off all the strange thoughts and conclusions she was having in her head.Her phone rang beside her. She sighed, looking at the caller ID to see who it was. She heaved another sigh seeing that it was her daughter. But she picked up anyway."Hey, Mom. I know I promised you I was going to come earlier but something came up but I should be with you by 6.""Mom...!!!""Are you even listening to me?""Yeah, yeah, I can hear you.""You aren't going to scold me about it? Is anything the matter?""You sound disturbed.""The dinner isn't going as planned?""No, that's not it.""Then what is it?""Nadia,
"Connor's the father?"Nancy looked away in shame, slowly nodding her head.The silence between them was up to a minute.Nancy was looking down at her hands with unshed tears."So you're the one Maliya and Natasha were referring to at the engagement?"If there was anything, Nancy wasn't expecting Rita's voice to be this calm and that made her look up.The expression on Rita's face was normal."Re....referring to me?""About the lady Connor couldn't stop looking at. So it's you?""I don't know what you're talking about.""Really? You feel it's cool to hide information away from me at this point?""I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. It could be me they are referring to. I'm not sure.""Could that be the reason Lilian was really upset?""I don't know. I have no idea if she knew anything about us.""According to what my Girls said, with the way my Nephew's eyes were all over you, it's pretty difficult to convince anyone that there's no spark between you both."Nancy sighed."You're mad
Knowing there was nothing she could say to calm her down in the heat of the moment, Nadie gave Nancy a shoulder to lean on by hugging her as she cried.She only pulled away when Nancy had calmed down a little. "I've got more reasons to be more protective of you.""What do you mean?" She asked with puffy eyes."The first time I took a liking to you was when I thought my brother was into you. You're the first person he ever spoke about to me and it really excited me.""Co... Connor told you about me?"Nadie nodded. "He was confused, and needed to clear his head, and that was when he told me about it.""I can't believe Connor did that. He has no shame.""All thanks to you!""What do you mean?""I felt like a big sister that day."Seeing how confused she looked, Nadie explained further."Connor has always been this secretive child or maybe I feel so because of the way things turned out to be.""We used to be close but suddenly we lost that bond at some point when he was in high school. He
The moment the driver dropped Rita in front of the house, She bumped into her brother-in-law, Aaron, who looked like someone that just finished attending to a phone call."I didn't know you went out. Shouldn't you be getting ready for dinner?""Yeah, I stepped out to do something quickly." She said, approaching him."You have any idea where my sister is?""She was being cranky a while ago so I gave her some space.""Where is she? The bedroom?""Yeah, she should be getting ready.""Okay, I have to see her. I need to talk to you too." She turned to take her leave."Is anything the matter? You and Lilian were the happiest about today and you all are suddenly acting very strange.""Everything is fine." She gave him a smile that didn't reach her eyes after which she made her way into the mansion in search of her elder sister.Rita knocked, then helped herself into her Sister's room. She found Lilian sitting on the resting couch, deep in thought."Sis" She approached her, taking a seat besi
"How did that even hap.. christ!!!" Aaron ran a hand over his face.Things were silent between the trio for a minute as everyone was drowned in their thoughts."So what's going to happen now? This is so humiliating. Are you sure the baby is Connor's?""I believe so," Rita answered while Lilian looked like someone that was ready to pass out.Aaron took out his phone from his pocket."What are you doing?" His wife asked."Calling Connor." He dialed the number and brought his phone to his ear.His number didn't go through.Aaron went through his contact list again in search of the alternate number."Is your Boss in the office?" He asked the moment the person on the other end picked up the call."When did he step out?""Okay, thank you." He ended the call."He's not in the office," Aaron said to Rita and Lilian."You okay," he referred to his wife."No." She took some steps back and plopped down on the edge of the bed.Aaron crouched down before her, taking her hand in his. "Your hands ar
"Just please shut the fuck up!" She raised her voice at him, not being able to control the tears that rolled down her cheeks."I hate you so much, Connor Martin. You're worse than the devil and God sees my heart that I will never want a child where you are the father of the baby.""How dare you speak to me that way? Why the hell would I be attracted to your fucking wealth when I'm okay with working to live a decent life. If you hadn't lured me to bed that night, you think I would be standing before you with a ruined life?"He glared at her as she spoke."Yes, I'm pregnant but I don't want this baby." She pointed to her stomach. "The last thing I want is to have a bond that will make me forever tied to you! You disgust the living hell out of me and I don't want to have anything to ever do with you.""The doctor wouldn't approve the abortion without your consent so just come with me to the hospital, make it known that that's what we both want, the procedure will be done and then we go o
