Chapter SevenFour weeks had passed since when she caught Will cheating on her and when she had sex with Lloyd. Tia was currently getting ready for her engagement party. Her wedding date was set, it was in six months as society weddings took a lot of time to prepare for. Tia was even more downcast than she was before. She had given up entirely on trying to break off her relationship with William. She had basically been sold to a beast. Tia had called Hera after then and they had talked, Hera tried to tell Tia that she should be more assertive and fight for her rights, but Tia was not hearing any of that. She had lost hope entirely. She did not feel that anything could happen again, she was going to get married to William, nothing that she would do would change that."Tia, do you want gloss or no gloss?" The make up artiste that was getting her ready for the engagement party asked her, and Tia looked at the lady."Gloss please," she replied."Oh no, no. No gloss would be better for yo
Chapter Eight.The party was in full swing but all Tia wanted was to go home."It is now time for the couple's dance," The MC said and Will took her hand, Tia let him lead her to the dance floor.Tia could feel the eyes of the entire people around her as Will drew her close and they began to dance together.Tia felt sick as she was so close to him. His grip was too strong, he led too harshly. He was definitely not the model partner.The crowd cheered at them and more people joined them on the dancefloor. Tia was taken from man to man as the dance hitched. It was not long until she found herself in the arms of Lloyd. Tia was shocked to see him at the party, and even more shocked to be in his arms.Her body seemed to remember him as her nipples tightened and her heart beat quickened. The dance between them was fluid and sweet. They moved together to the beat of the song and Tia wished that she was marrying him instead.She remembered what Hera had said before she came for the engagement
Chapter NineTia kept calm for the rest of the ride back home. Her mind was all on the pregnancy tests that she bought and how she would use them when she got home. She needed to get rid of the gnawing feeling inside her heart."Thank you, Ian," Tia said as her brother parked in front of her father's house."Do you want me to see you off? To escort you inside. I should greet mom," Ian said with a smile and Tia shook her head."That will be okay, thank you very much. I appreciate what you did for me," Tia said."You are welcome," Ian said."Take good care of yourself and do not forget to call me," he continued and then Tia walked into the house.She figured that Ian was on her side. She had someone new in her corner. It was a feeling that she liked to have someone with her that is.She held her ball gown and the rubber bag with her as she walked into the living room."Where are you coming from?" Her father thundered as she entered into the house. Tia was shocked to hear his voice as sh
Chapter Ten.Tia sighed and got down of the car as the driver parked in front of the Rowling mansion.The house was truly a mansion, Tia had been brought up in riches so she was not easily impressed, but she was quite impressed by the house that was the Rowling mansion.William lived there and that was something that she did not like at all. Even though they are not the children of her father, Tia felt it odd that a man that was already twenty-nine still lived with his parents.William was not much different from her, he was still very much controlled by his father.Tia did not like the fact that she would get married and have to live with Isla. The fact that Elsa would also be in the picture was the only thing that gave her hope.She walked out of the car and sashayed into the house. Tia had learnt from a young age that appearance was all that mattered. Even when her father was in recession and debt, she would still buy the finest clothes and the most expensive shoes so that their in
Chapter Eleven"I think I am pregnant," Tia said to Hera. She took in a deep breath and closed her eyes in prayer as she said it. It felt different to say it, it felt so real. Like the child was really in her stomach, living and depending on her."What do you mean? I thought you said you saw your period?" Hera asked. She was clearly panicking."I thought I saw my period, but it was barely there. So I took home tests, I took five. Three were positive," Tia told her friend."Home tests are not very reliable. but I am scared Hera. I am so scared. I want to do a blood test but my father is restricting my movement. Would I only know if I am pregnant when my stomach starts to swell?" Tia asked. She was panicking."Just relax Tia. Relax, you might not be pregnant. Are you experiencing any nausea?" Hera asked and Tia frowned from the other side of the phone."Are you a doctor Hera? I had three positive tests, 3/5. How do I deal with that?" Tia asked. She was so stressed out."Just relax. We c
Chapter Twelve"You do," Tia said and Ian stared at her. He could not believe what she was on about. How the hell would he know the father of her child? He barely knew what was going on in her life before now."How would I know the person? Who is it?" Ian asked her and Tia sighed, she was ashamed of what happened it was hard to say his name out."The father of my child is Lloyd Patterson," Tia managed to say out loud. "What?" Ian exclaimed. He would have never expected that. Lloyd was the last person that Ian would put that impregnated his sister. Lloyd has been his friends for years and he was not a ladies man. Ian was finding it hard to think that his friend did that. It was something that he could do, not Lloyd. His friend seemed to keep his distance from the female gender."This is really quite surprising. I did not take Lloyd as one that was interested in women in general. I did not even know that you knew the man," Ian said to her. He was scratching his head. So much had happen
Chapter Thirteen- Planning PhaseTia walked into her house with mix feelings, she was not still sure what to think about her pregnancy, if she was meant to be happy or sad. Tia was leaning towards sad, she might noy be able to bring her child into the world, and even if she could, she would not be able to care for the child. She would be a terrible mother if she was one at all.Tia was lost in her thoughts as she entered into the living room."What is this?" Her father asked and Tia gasped in shock, he was holding a positive pregnancy test. Tia looked at it and shook her head. That meant he had been in her room and was looking in her things."Why were you in my room? Do I not have a shred of privacy in this house?" Tia asked. She was shaking in anger."It is my house. Are you pregnant?" Her father asked and Tia felt like crying. That was not how she imagined it would happen. She thought that maybe she would have enough to time to rest and to think about what she would do before she wo
Chapter Fourteen.Tia had a very fitful sleep that night, it was not easy to get any rest at all when she knew that what happened the next day will determine how her life would be for a long time.Tia woke up and she remembered what Lloyd had said the previous day. The plan was to let her father take her to the hospital the next day and then when the test came out as positive, she should tell her father carefully what happened and wait for his response.That was not the original plan as Lloyd planned on taking her from her father's house that night, but Tia strongly disagreed. She still had hope in her father, he will he very angry but he would understand. If he was the same man that played with her when she was younger that attended her tea parties and said yes to everyone of her desires, then he would definitely not force her to get married to Will.Tia took her bath and put on a simple grey dress, she did not have the strength to try to look pretty that day.She brought out her pho
