FORTY-EIGHT
KRIS:
It was a week from Thanksgiving so I returned home to spend time with my mom.
Call it a break from my crumbling life.
I got out of my car and walked towards the front door, pulling my suitcase behind me. Getting to the door, I tried the handle and it was opened so I let myself in.
"Mom! I'm home". I called, getting into the living room.
"Ohh Baby!!". She ran from the kitchen, barreling into me.
I chuckled, embracing her tightly. Sometimes she made me feel like I was the mom with her ever jolly attitude.
God. I've missed her. I though

He also sent lots of texts that I also ignored.Glancing at my phone again, I saw it was just six in the morning. Violet was going for her morning run by 6:30am.

KRIS:"Where are you going?". His husky voice asked, stopping me in my tracks by the door."Out for lunch". I replied without sparing him a look."No". He replied coldly."Excuse me?".

KRIS:"It's not yours". I stared him in the eyes, so he could buy it but his facial expression never changed. He stared back at me coldly. "It's my ex's". I added, praying he’d believe it."Stop. lying. to. me". He replied with gritted teeth."It's not a…"."Cut it". He interrupted in a cold voice. "The doctor informed me that you are two months pregnant and from my calculations which I know I'm very correct, it's the time we had sex before you left for Thanksgiving. You still wanna lie?".

KRIS:I stood by the elevator wall opposite Lucian, but his eyes were focused on me. This time, they were not cold but they had an unreadable expression.I hated how his stare made me feel jittery with my heart hammering so I stared at the floor to avoid the intensity of his gaze but I could still feel it on me.The elevator dinged, announcing our stop at the 37th floor just as the door opened.

KRIS:Rays of light streaming into the room hit my eyes that were still closed, making me turn my face to the opposite direction. Stretching out my limbs, they fell on an empty bed.I opened my eyes to see I was alone on the bed. Stretching some more, I lifted my lazy body from the bed and got into the bathroom to clean my teeth.Thereafter, I made my way to the kitchen in search of food and there he was.
