CHAPTER 141_ Before the disaster

I tapped my foot impatiently on the dusty floor, my eyes fixed on the entrance of the abandoned warehouse. Lucas was running late, and I was starting to lose my patience. I glanced at my wristwatch for what felt like the hundredth time."Five more minutes, and I'm leaving," I muttered to myself, already mentally preparing to walk away from this whole ordeal. But as I looked at my watch again, I realized that those five minutes had flown by faster than I expected, and Lucas was still nowhere to be found.I let out a deep sigh of frustration. "This is ridiculous, what was I even thinking believing all that bullshit" I said aloud, shaking my head. I pulled out my cell phone, signaling to my assistant that it was time to leave.Just as I was about to turn away, my assistant spoke up, "He's here, Sir." I turned to see Lucas hurrying towards us with an older man behind him. The man looked weak, with an emaciated face and sunken eyes that seemed to hold a very deep sadness.Lucas apologized

CHAPTER 142_ Another Life

QUINN'S POVI walked into the living room, carrying a tray with a fresh drink for Matt. He had stopped by unexpectedly, and we chatted for a bit till I got thirsty and disappeared to get water.When I returned, I noticed that Matt and Eva were engaged in a heated discussion. They were speaking in hushed tones, but their body language told me something was wrong. Eva's arms were crossed, and Matt's looked all tensed.I set the extra cup of water on the table, turning to them, "What's going on?" I asked.They paused, looking at each other uncertainly. Matt opened his mouth to speak, but Eva quickly covered it with her hand.Matt looked at Eva, then back at me. I could sense his frustration."Okay, Eva, enough. Let Matt speak." I said whilst folding my hands. Eva finally removed her hand, and Matt took a deep breath of relief.Eva and Matt exchanged another glance, and then Eva nodded. The room fell silent for a moment before she spoke up."We found your dad's former secretary," she anno

CHAPTER 143_ Fear

MATT'S POVI rushed back to the hospital as soon as I got Eva's text saying Quinn was awake. My mind traveled back to when the doctor had shared the news about her pregnancy. The room went silent. I grew numb for a few seconds, my eyes fixed on her pale face. We all knew who the baby belonged to, and the thought of it pierced through my chest. I could feel Eva's eyes on me watching my every move, but I just couldn't bring myself to look up at her.I have no chance with Quinn now that I think of it.And maybe that's okay. I'm just glad she is awake and safe.I approached Eva, who was standing by the door with worry on her face. "Where's Quinn?" I asked while scanning the room."She's asleep," Eva managed to mutter.I nodded, feeling a bit relieved. "I had to finish up some work, but as soon as I was done, I rushed over here," I explained, though Eva didn't seem to be interested."It's fine, Matt," Eva cut in, her eyes fixed on Quinn's sleeping form. "It's been four hours, and she's bee

CHAPTER 144_ In my head

BRYAN'S POVI walked out of the hospital room, bumping into Doctor Lee. He was a familiar face from my previous visit to his hospital when one of my workers had an emergency."Ah, Mr. Braxton! Good to see you again," he called in a friendly tone.I nodded curtly, my mind still reeling from the emotions that had overwhelmed me in Quinn's hospital room. "Doctor Lee.""What brings you here?," he asked."Oh, my girlfriend Ms Quinn. She was admitted here.""Oh really? I didn't know that." He remarked as he leaned in closely, giving me a brief update on her condition. "In that case, I have to share something with you, Mr. Braxton. Something that I think you should know."My gut tightened, seeing that he looked off. "What is it, Doctor?" I asked in a calm tone.Doctor Lee hesitated for a moment before dropping the bombshell. "Ms. Quinn is two months pregnant. Mr. Braxton."My world stopped.Pregnant? Quinn is pregnant?The doctor's words hung in the air, refusing to compute. I felt like I ha

CHAPTER 145_ Fair share of hell

QUINN'S POVI lay in the hospital bed, my eyes fixed on the ceiling as the doctor's words echoed in my mind. Pregnant. I'm pregnant.The door creaked open, and Bryan walked in, his eyes scanning the room until they landed on me. He looked...different. He approached me, holding out a bouquet of flowers. "Hey," he called softly. "I brought you some flowers."I had no response. I was still trying to process the news, my mind reeling with questions and fears.Eva stood up, eyes fixed on Bryan like she was issuing out a warning to be gentle. "She's not said a word to me since she got up." She explained to Bryan."Quinn honey, are you okay?" she asked, in a soft voice, and I managed to nod, feeling a lump form in my throat. I still couldn't speak or express the emotions piling up inside of me. Bryan reached out to touch my hand, and suddenly my body sprang to life. It began shaking tremendously, my eyes wide with fright as the words tumbled out."Get away from me, you monster! You're a mon

CHAPTER 146_ All Words

QUINN'S POVWe stepped into our apartment, the familiar scent relieving every bit of exhaustion that I felt. Eva followed closely behind me, helping me settle onto the couch. We had just gotten back from the hospital."Hey, how are you feeling?" She asked, handing me a glass of water.I took a sip, taking a deep breath as I stared blankly into space. "I really do not know, Eva. Maybe lost?"She wrapped her arms around me. "You're not alone, Quinn. You have me, and you have that little baby inside you to think about. You're going to take care of yourself and that baby, that's all. Remember what the doctor said? You need to rest, eat well, and avoid stress."I nodded, taking in all of her words. "Eva smiled, standing up. "I know you can. Now, I'm going to go grab some groceries. We need to stock up on healthy food for you and the baby."I smiled weakly. "Thanks, Eva."Watching as she headed out the door, I leaned back onto the couch, my hand instinctively resting on my stomach. I would

CHAPTER 150

I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed Eva's number, my mind on edge with anticipation. When she answered, I could hear the faint sound of chattering and music in the background."Hello, Eva. I need to see you right away," I said, trying to convey that it was urgent without alarming her."I'm in the middle of an event, Matt. Can we reschedule for later?" She asked, almost screaming into the phone.I hesitated for a moment before responding. "I'm afraid it can't wait, Eva. Is Quinn with you?" I asked, in hopes that Quinn's presence might make her more willing to leave."No, she stepped out a while ago, saying she had somewhere to go. What's going on, Matt? You're beginning to get me worried," she asked, her tone laced with concern.I took a deep breath before responding. "There's someone I want you to meet, Eva. Someone who has information that might be...enlightening. Please, just trust me on this. I'll text you the address. Can you get here as soon as possible?"Eva hesitated for some

The man looked weak, with an emaciated face and sunken eyes that seemed to hold a very deep sadness.Lucas apologized profusely for his lateness, explaining that they had trouble finding a cab. I nodded, although I still felt a bit annoyed at the delay."I had to reschedule all my appointments today," I announced, my tone a bit sharper than I intended. "The last thing I want to think is that this is a waste of my time."The old man looked up at me, with his eyes locking onto mine. "No, sir, it isn't," Lucas shot him a nervous glance, as if urging him to continue.He took a deep breath before speaking, his next words sen
