CHAPTER 48

"Just tie it tight!" commanded Dealova, despite the pain as the ballet corset was tightened.

Dealova held on, clinging to the wall with her eyes forced shut. Her belly had begun to grow. The pregnancy that she had to hide to keep performing on the theater stage.

"Dealova, are you sure you want to perform?" said one of Dealova's ballet partners who had noticed her condition.

"I'm very sure! No one can stop me from performing." Dealova stood tall in her ballet outfit. He looked at the reflection of his face and posture, nothing had changed so far. Her stomach was a little tight but Dealova was confident that she could endure the pain and would soon get used to it.

"Your baby."

"Shut up Cia! I own this body. I'm the one who feels," Dealova retorted with sarcasm.

Dealova walked out of the dressing room. She was hanging out with the rest of the ballet, they would be performing in a few minutes. Everyone was warming up while Dealova was sitting on a wooden chair lacing up her ballet shoes.
