Chapter Sixteen.Hera took in a deep breath as she looked at the building in front of her, Rowling Advertising it said. Hera was not very impressed by grandeur and beauty, she had even grown to hate it with time, because it all represented her parents and their greed, their never ending need to make even more. Wealth was enticing, but it was like an addiction, you keep wanting more and more. There was more wealth to acquire, more power to put your hands on. It never ended. It seemed like Tia's father had gotten the greed too, or he was being blackmailed, either way, he wanted more and more and that was not something that Tia could give him. She would not allow her friend to be in such a marriage.The stakes have been raised even higher as Tia was pregnant, for another man. Hera knew that money and fear could make people very desperate and have them do things that t hey would originally not be part of. Hera did not see Robert Wilson as the kind of man that would force his daughter to c
Chapter SeventeenHera stood by Ian's side as he made the call to Lloyd. She was still in shock after what happened in the office. She could not believe that William had said all that when she told him that Tia was pregnant. Hera was feeling guilty for carrying out the plan. If Lloyd did not agree to help them out, Tia would end up losing her child and being with that man forever. And she was the one that told him that Tia was pregnant. With this revelation from her, Hera was positive that William would tell Tia's father to make sure that he sees the termination of Tia's pregnancy."Hello, Lloyd. We have a situation," Ian said on the phone."What happened?" Lloyd asked from the other end."It is about Tia. We need to get her out of that house before William or her father tries something drastic. William was told that was pregnant for another man and he was not fazed. He said that it was a simple as an abortion. Tia would not want to have one on her own and it is clear that they will
Chapter Eighteen.As Lloyd stood in front of Robert Wilson's office, what Hera said the day before came back to him. What truly would he do if Robert asked him to marry his daughter instead? Lloyd could count the number of words that he had said to Tia Wilson, but she was carrying his child and that was enough to spark protectiveness in him. He was not interested in relationships in general, but there was no way he would let his child be hurt. The picture of the child was not yet concrete in his mind, but he knew that in less than nine months a child would come and the he would have his DNA, the child would be his.Lloyd was not what he would do with the child, if he was ready to be a father. Some of the people that he went to highschool with already had children and it seemed like it was the universe telling him that it was time.There was also the fact that Tia happened to be William's fiancee. Lloyd had a strong gut feeling that Robert Wilson was the Rowling's new fish and they wou
Chapter NINETEEN "I will get her out of that house even if it means I have to kidnap her," Lloyd said when he got to Ian's office. The office looked more like a studio than anything, but Lloyd was not judging, it was the choice of his friend. He liked the entertainment world more than the business world."You will probably have to kidnap her, my stepfather will not let her go easily," Ian said and Lloyd nodded. He was regretting going to the office to see him at all, he probably put Tia in even more danger."If that is what I need to do, then I will do it," Lloyd said."Has anyone heard from Tia? We will need her insight on how to get her out," Lloyd said and Ian shook his head."I can help with that insight. From what I know and I have heard. My stepfather locked her inside her room and took away her communication devices yesterday. He is going to make a move very soon. We have to move with him," Ian said and Lloyd nodded."You need to help me, please. Please go to the house and se
Chapter Twenty"Are you taking me to your house?" Tia asked Lloyd as he drove."We are going to Vegas," Lloyd said and Tia looked at him shocked. What the hell was he talking about?"Vegas?" Tia asked and Lloyd nodded."You heard me loud and clear," Lloyd said."But why? What are we going to do there?" Tia asked. It was like she was being thrown from one to another."We are going to get married," Lloyd said."Married?" Tia shouted, she began to shake her head then."I do not want to get married. Why do you think I would want to get married, I was running from another marriage just now!" Tia shouted. She could not deal with all of that, she was just celebrating her escape from her father and William Rowling and now this? "Do you think your father will stop at this? He will try to kidnap you back and have you marry William, he cannot do that if we are already married. Besides, we are having a baby, and who says it has to be forever?" Lloyd asked and Tia looked him she was starting to s
Chapter Twenty One.Tia imagined her wedding day a lot of times. She thought that she would wear a white gown and she will be walking down the aisle with the man of her dreams in a larger than life church that housed a million and one guests, but she would be happy and that would be the best thing that happened to her, it would be the happiest day of her life.Many things about her current wedding were wrong. The first thing was the fact that she was not wearing a gown, but an over sized shirt and a pair of jeans, the second thing was the man, she was not getting married to the man of her dreams, or the man of her nightmares these days, but she was getting married to a man that she barely knew, but at the very least, she was getting married willingly.The third thing that was wrong was the fact that she was about to throw up. She was pregnant, she would have never pregnant in the wedding that she had in her head, but there she was, standing in front of a man that did not look fit to b
Tia felt herself drift into consciousness. She could feel her head banging with a headache, her entire body felt so sore. She struggled to open her eyes but they felt so heavy and she was so tired. It was one of those mornings that she felt she could sleep for ages. Even then, something felt like it was not right, the light was not coming from the right direction,the smell of the room was not hers. She was awake then, and she could feel a hand across her stomach, the fact that she could feel the skin to skin contact told her that her stomach was naked.Tia refused to open her eyes, she did not want to, she was afraid of what she would see. She was not alone in bed and she was not even in her bed. Several thoughts passed her mind, but she could barely think well, her head was still banging. She tried to remember what happened the night before, but all she could come up with was deciding not to cry over William any longer, she vaguely remembered getting dressed to go to the club. Tia g
Lloyd thought back to the confusing lady as he drove back to his house, Tia she said her name was. She looked a bit familiar but he could not put his hand on it. She was much different the previous night though, if he knew that she would be so cold the next morning, he would not have bothered. She wasn't drunk when they met, he was drawn too her because she was easily the first person that attracted him, she was new, it was not so obvious but it was there. She wore a little black dress and her eyes held sadness. Lloyd figured she was probably nursing a broken heart. He knew that because it was that easy to notice.He came to her and he started to talk to her. Tia was downing her drinks in such succession that he thought she was going to faint. She was drunk when she placed her lips on his, he was a little drunk too. Lloyd came to the club to unwind, the entire week, the entire year even had been hell to him, the stress was starting to get to him, he needed to just drink and forget for
