Laura's POV“She's currently resting, there's a probability she'd wake up sooner, Sir.”“Thank you, Doctor. I can go see her now, right?” “Yeah, sure. But please, don't tell her something that might put her in stress once more. She needs to take a rest, she isn't supposed to be stressing herself.”I kept hearing voices and sounds despite all I saw was darkness. My eyes were closed, I felt heavy, as if I couldn't move. My eyes fluttered open and shut themselves immediately. I managed slowly opening my eyes, to contain the rays of the light that plastered on the white ceiling. Groggily taking in my surroundings, I'm met with a blur of white and beeping machines. I glanced at the other side, I saw an IV set which it's content was empty. it was hung on a drip stand. My head pounded with a dull ache, and my mouth feels dry and sticky. I try to speak, but my voice is barely a whisper. I was lieng down on a soft bed. A strange smell hit me like a wave of nail polish remover, harsh and ove
Laura's POVMy jaw dropped in disbelief as I stared at the Doctor. “Doc... What?”I suddenly found myself speechless. Pregnant? I can't be pregnant! How did that happen?“Yes, Mrs Laura. The test conducted can't be wrong. Infact I did it a few times just to confirm,” The Doctor answered and tears gathered in my eyes as my hand located my tummy. I was pregnant? “Doc, how can you be sure about this? I mean...” I sniffled. “Did you tell my husband about this?” I asked instead, suddenly remembering Eric. I prayed he hasn't told him anything yet. Furthermore, I wouldn't want to disclose this to him until I'm ready.“Be rest assured, Mrs Laura. I waited for you to be conscious again, you're the first person I wanted to tell. I didn't tell him anything,” He assured me, and I smiled gratefully.“Thank you, Doc.” “Now, you need to get a lot of rest. During examining you, I observed that you're a strong thinker. Can you do me a favor and stop thinking? It might not do well to you since you're
Sasha's POVFor two consecutive days, I kept walking in fears. Fear of being monitored, fear of being watched on. I needed to be careful more than ever since Aaron has been put behind bars. I didn't hear from him after we conversed last time until I figured out with the news.Eric caught him? I still couldn't believe my eyes. Aaron fucking let Eric get to him, or he planned everything?“Sasha!” Someone snapped at me, darting me out of my thoughts. I flinched, holding my chest as I gawked at Mrs Corazon. I forgot we had been discussing earlier until I started thinking about Aaron.“Ah, M-Mrs Corazon.” I stuttered, finding my nape awkwardly.“Sasha, are you alright? You seemed lost earlier when I was talking,” Mrs Corazon said calmly. I glanced at the couch beside where she sat to see the groceries she'd bought.“I'm alright, Mrs Corazon,” I responded.“I don't think so. Is there something bothering you? You can share,” She flashed me a smile which I felt like slapping off her face, bu
Aaron's POVEric has done his part, he had succeeded in getting me behind bars like true to his word, then he should await mine in return. I wouldn't settle for less, he shouldn't think that way.Goddammit, I couldn't believe I was locked up in this hole with some imbeciles. I'm Aaron Walker, I don't deserve to stay in this slump of a cell. I still have a company to run, I still had other things to do. Thankfully, I have Sasha, I trust her to keep tabs on everything while I'm still finding my way out of here. One thing's for sure, I'm finding my way out of here, and I don't care how I'm going to get out. “Dammit,” I cursed, fiddling with my fingers as I tried to think of every possible way to leave this cell. I can't be known locked up in jail, that's a huge shame even to my business. No, I couldn't let that happen. I'm going to get back on my feet and take away everything that's precious to the Sloan.My fist folded tightly as I gritted my teeth. “Thry will pay for shaming me this w
Laura's POV“Thank you, Sasha.” I smiled at Sasha after she helped me with the meals. Since I returned from the hospital with Eric, I haven't even gotten the strength to take a tour around the house or go downstairs to eat. Whenever I try to, I always felt heavy with throbbing legs. Sasha has been my aid all through, Eric was absent, work's taking a toll on him.“It's nothing ma'am, you need to take care of yourself as you are not yet strong enough.” She replied, holding the hem of her dress and I smiled.“That's so nice of you, Sasha.” I purred, staring at her as I dug into my meal. Sasha was so kind, I shouldn't be suspicious of her like I'd been recently. The only thing was that she acts weird at times but let's not think about that now that she's being nice.“Since Sir Eric isn't home, it's my duty to take care of you,” Sasha grinned at me, and I didn't understand what sought of grin she had, but I just laughed it off. “I still have Larry, and Mrs Corazon. You shouldn't bother yo
Laura's POVI didn't know where I'd got the guts to spew such news at Eric, and unable to stare at him in the eyes, I continued fiddling with my fingers and nibbling on my lips as my heart kept racing fast in my chest. Eric stood, paused for a while before clearing his throat. “What did you just say, Laura?” He demanded, and I almost flinched.Oh, God. What would be my fate? Was this the end for me? Rena's plan isn't going as planned.Eric walked to and fro, ruffling his hair. “Don't make me repeat myself again to you, Laura. What did I just hear from you?” My lips parted to reply to him. “I'm pregnant,” I dropped the bombshell once more. I expected him to bash at me and call me harsh names like he'd used to, but instead he pulled me to sit on the edge of the bed, shocking me to the bones as I gazed at him.“You need to rest more than ever. I don't want anything happening to my child,” He muttered, maintaining an intense eye contact with my already clouded eyes. I sucked in a deep
Aaron's POVFuck it. I couldn't close my eyes to sleep for the night despite how hard I tried to. The cold tiled floor showed no mercy to my back as I kept cursing every passing minute. These morons made me lie on the floor while they stayed on the bed, snoring their ass out.“Dammit,” I couldn't take it anymore as I stood up and walked to the bed they laid in the cell. How could I be treated like a slave in this hole?A tissue paper was hanging on the floor, I picked up slowly and placed it into the mouth of the first one who had his mouth wide open from snoring.“What the fuck!” He jumped up, sending me to the wall. I groaned when my back collided with the wall. These morons should take it easy when bullying someone else.“Why did you do that?! Didn't they teach you lessons?!” He roared at me, and when I made to retaliate, he grabbed my fist in his palms like it was nothing and welcomed me with a punch on the stomach.“Fuck!!!” I winced out. The other four waking up from their slumb
Laura's POVStriding out of the bathroom, I put on one of the comfortable dresses Eric had bought for me. Ever since he found out about my pregnancy, he had made it a must for me to rest every single day and how he comes to check up on me every hour. Whenever he's at work, Sasha or Larry would be the one checking up on me.Right, we were to be expecting Agatha too. When she got the news that I was pregnant, and we were going to be throwing a celebration today, she booked a flight back to America as soon as possible. As for Mrs Corazon, she postponed her charity event that was to be held in another state simply to look after me.The thought of them caring about me brought tears to my eyes as I stared at my reflection in front of the mirror. Initially, I have the best family around me.My eyes took in my tummy, as I imagined my baby bump. I smiled cheekily. “Mummy will do her possible best to keep you safe from harm, baby. I promise you, you'll come into this world, and we'll cherish yo
