All Chapters of Scandalous Secret Affairs: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The duo were silent as Rachel drove down the dark road. The streetlights were bright in the darkness of twilight as Leia rested her chin on her knuckles, looking out the window of Rachel's crappy car. Said car was unusually silent and Leia could tell something was wrong with Rachel but she decided to not question it till they got back to the apartment. However, there has been something that has been bugging her since they left the station. What was annoying her was the fact that Mark left her in prison to rot there. He didn't even spend five minutes in the station and he didn't even look back to see if she was still there before he left the damned place. He was the reason that old filthy man called the police. Leia grits her teeth as she remembers what that old man did.Leia didn't even notice the car driving into an apartment's driveway. Rachel stopped the car after driving into the car park. Leia blinks at the abrupt stop. She watches in bemusement as Rachel turns off the igniti

"At least learn some manners first." Mark frowns angrily and she seems even angrier as she looks at him."What is he doing here?" She half whispers to Leia who looks back at Mark before replying."Well, he brought me home." She replies softly and Mark walks over to them and dumps the bag of medications in Leia's hands."Don't forget to take your pills and eat. Stress yourself more if you like. If you conduct a funeral for your child in the next few days, know pretty well that I won't pity you even though it might be related to me." Mark says with a hint of anger in his voice before he walks back into his car and drives off.Rachel looks at her in shock. She isn't expecting what Mark just said and she needs Leia to give a proper explanation of everything he just said, but she doesn't look like she's going to say anything about it right there, so Rachel just leads her into the house."Where have you been since morning? I've been worried." Rachel groans as she closes the main door.She h

Her name was still on the gun, her gun.Even if she swore never to use it again, she couldn't entirely get rid of it, and besides, the situation she was facing needed one.She needed to be somewhere, she needed to speak with him one on one. Leia was beyond fed up. It was time she met him, the master planner.At once she rushes out of her house and hurries to her car. "It's time both of us have a little heart-to-heart," she tells herself, igniting the engine zooming off. She arrives safely at her destination, the gates are closed with the two familiar bodyguards from last time on patrol. She gets down, grabbing her purse in anger. Her fingers could feel it, that strong metallic body, it was a beautiful feeling, and Leia couldn't help but imagine putting a bullet through his head.She'll be needing this after all."Where's your boss?" She yells at the guards, but they stand frigid at the door. "I need to see Mark right now," she gritted."You can't see him," the guard answers plain

(Twenty minutes earlier)Leia slowly walks into the house, her eyes searching for the masters of the house.Her lips twist when she doesn't catch sight of them. Even the servants are missing."Hello?." She calls into the seemingly empty house, disconcerted when nobody replies. Her voice seems to echo in the silence and the eerie quality of it sends a shiver down her spine.The clacking of heels breaks the quiet. Leia looks up at the lounge balcony and catches sight of the matriarch of the sky family leaning against the railing.The frosty woman glowers down at Leia, not unlike the way a person would stare at a particularly irritating bug before squashing it under their boot.Leia gulps in trepidation. Claire looks very angry. Leia doesn't think she's seen her this mad.Lifting a trembling hand, Leia gives the older woman a shaky wave."Hello, Claire." "What are you doing here?" The woman sharply says. The tension in the air could be cut with a knife.She angrily gestures a hand to t

She can still hear the words of the doctor ringing in her ears which had been related to her after she woke up from her slumber. "We're sorry to inform you but you suffered a miscarriage after the accident.'It doesn't feel true. It feels like a nightmare but the pain in her head from the stitching on her forehead, with the many layers of bandages on her head and the heavy feeling in her stomach tells her that it isn't.She slowly brings her hands to her stomach, her fingers feel stiff as they press into the padding of flesh.The doctor told her that she's been asleep for two days and that she was lucky to not be in a coma but she didn't consider this mews to be luck. Leia can't help but feel that a coma would have been better than waking up to the mess that is her life. She can feel tears pooling in her eyes because she's finally alone now. She has nobody else. Fate has finally taken away the last thing that she has. Her poor unborn child. Her breath hitches as she sobs in angui
