She changed into shorts and a tank top. She slipped under the blanket and tucked it to her waist. She exhaled slowly. ' He has filled the empty space in my life. Does he feel the same? Kattie said that it could be a plan. It didn't look like one. Why would he do this? Lana is also family. He was just smiling. Why is it hurting me so much to see him with her? I love him. He didn't get mad at me when he saw me with Lucas on the dance floor. ' She shivered when she perceived a soft touch on her wrist. She jerked her eyes at strong hands. Her husband was sitting on the edge of the bed. He tenderly brushed his fingers, putting ointment on them. She flinched at the sensation of pain and jerked her hand away. His hold on her hand stopped her. Abruptly, he bent ahead and pressed his lips softly on her. She closed her eyes. It was his way to apologize to her. It saddened her more. She compelled him to take such a step, " It doesn't hurt." She whisp
Her breaths caught in her throat when she stared at the report with a mixer of happiness and awe. She sealed her eyes shut and took another deep breath, " Ethan won't like it. " She said, gulping. " Why are you saying this? It's good news. See! I'm so happy. I'm going to be Aunt. " She pointed at her cheerful face. She was genuinely looking happy. Her smile widened and it dropped immediately, " I'm taking pills since the first day of our wedding. After my kidnapping, I skipped it and... " She glanced at the report, " I can't tell Ethan. What if he doesn't want our baby? " She asked with tears brimming in her eyes. " Are you crazy? " Kattie sighed, " First tell me. What do you want?" She asked, in a softer voice. Tiny shivers broke on her skin and down her back, " I'm not ready to reveal it. " She said, biting her lower lip. Kattie nodded her head, " A week. Then I'm telling him. We should go home. You need to rest. " She got up from the chair.
She peeled her eyes open and drew her body up resting her back on the heap of pillows. She looked at her left side. Ethan wasn't in the room. She stared at the walls gloomily. ' I don't think I'll be ever prepared to tell him about my pregnancy. It'd be better if I'll let Kattie do this part. Should I talk to Rubina? She can convince him. ' A smile appeared on her face as hope raised. Her hand reached on the nightstand to grab her phone. Bringing it in front of her eyes, she strolled down the list. Her eyes dilated as the phone slipped from her hands. Goosebumps rippled through her neck in fear. She let out a squeal. She was terrified. Hot tears rolled down her cheeks. She drew herself to her feet quickly and gathered the bed sheet in her hands and rushed to the washroom. She glanced at it with widened eyes again. Her heart was pounding loudly in her ears. She shook her head in disbelief. The door slammed open behind her. She jumped, letting
He grasped his phone from the counter with a cold expression. He sauntered over to the door. Giving his wife a flat look, he strode out of the room. His hands were still clenched. The doctor walked into the room. Robbie looked at him with a full smirk, " Our wives are best friends. What a miracle!" He put his hand around his shoulder, " If you haven't called me and left your phone behind when they were alone. We haven't known about it. I'm confused now. " Robbie slanted him a confused look. His jaw clenched in exasperation, ' She should talk to me. She should tell me. Doesn't matter, we're not ready for it. I love her, our baby will be her part, and I will love him too. I want her to be perfectly fine. I hope, My words haven't caused her any damage. I won't sabotage our wedding at any cost. ' He gazed at the door before turning his gaze back to Robbie. He wanted to be with her. He needed space right now, " Tight the security. " He said and went quiet. The
Her eyebrows shot up, as she stared at the black leather shoes. It brought only one name to her mind. Ethan! She darted her gaze up as she pushed herself into a sitting position. She nodded off. She didn't realize it until now. "Are you feeling good, now?" He asked. 'It could be weird for him. But time would teach him everything.' Summarily, she moved her head up to down and down to up with a smile. 'I was aware my life would be forever changed. But this change, I didn't think about it.' He extended his strong hand at her. There was so much intensity on his face. He was cruel, but there was a glimmer of softness, goodness in his eyes. A small smile appeared on her lips. She advanced her hand. "I haven't decided to share your body..." Her smile fell. Fear clawed. She had never expected it, just a little doubt in her mind. His words hit her like a whiplash. Her hand was trembling. He grasped her hand. She pulled away, hi
He was staring out through the glass wall. The view didn't impress him any longer. His one hand rested on the desk and balled. He could still recall her scared face when he told her what he wanted. Abortion wasn't even in his mind. He loved her. "It would take a long time to track him down," Robbie said, grabbing his attention. " We can't delay. He won't step back. He must be looking for an opportunity." He told him, still gazing out. "Our men are groping for him in every corner of the city." Robbie said as he rubbed his fingers over his jaw, "I should send more out of the country too." He seemed to suggest himself. He drew to his feet and shoved one hand in his pocket, "That wouldn't be required. He won't go away. His family is with us." He said. His hands were clenched in exasperation. He swore to give him a painful death. "He won't try to do anything. We have his family." Robbie smirked, repeating. He shook his head and
She was watching him through the corners of her eyes. He could easily hurt her and buried her body under the ground, in the woods, or in an abandoned place. A shiver worked down her spine and she quickened her pace. He was following her. Her heart was racing too. 'Why?' She couldn't help darting her glance at him. His dark gaze was looking around as if looking for something. Her fear seemed to vanish for an unknown reason, "Do you need anything? The kitchen is downstairs." She softly told him. He snapped his dark eyes at her. She barely saw people with such intense dark eyes, "No, ma'am." He said. She nodded after a pause and began to pace in the room. "I need to shower." She cringed. "I'm waiting here, ma'am.." He said. She stared at the couch behind him, "Why don't you sit on the couch?" She asked. "I'll be fine. You please carry on." He gestured at the door. She walked in and bolted the do
He took Kattie's facial expressions. She jumped to her feet at his sight. He glanced at Ivan. Though, he had kept him updated about everything. He wasn't expecting Kattie in his room. He glanced at his wife. It was late, near midnight. She was sleeping. He sighed, "Shouldn't you be in your room?" He asked intensely, still looking at his wife. "I need to talk to you." She folded her arms over her chest. She was looking pretty upset and annoyed. He knew the reason but it was totally unexpected. "Robbie must be waiting for you." He said, with no expression. Ivan was on his feet. He needed to talk to him. But he could when Kattie was around. She shook her head, "It's about Mia." She said, pressing her lips. "Ivan told me. What happened in the kitchen." He told her, hoping she would end the topic. She wasn't essential for him, but he cared for his family. "Very well! I don't want Svetlana near her. You can send her away, anywhere but
