CHAPTER THREE.

Lisa leaned her head on the taxi window, she didn't know how to prepare herself or what to tell her uncle, how do she rectify this.

"Pregnancy" her eyes lit up as she thought of this, Eduardo, Eduardo said she was pregnant, if she could get a pregnancy test and prove she wasn't, her uncle would definitely believe her with proof, smiling, she can fix it, she can have her life return to normal. She smiled and raised her head up, and gave the taxi driver instructions to stop by the mini mart close to her house.

With a deep breath, she knocked on the door, she had bought the test and took it, all she needed was to show her uncle the results. She didn't get a response after waiting for 5 minutes, she knocked on the door again.

She was about to knock the third time, when the door flung open wide.

Her cousin, Allyson, they were about the same age, used to be really close friends but after her father's death, the hatred set in, she was her uncle's and aunt's only child.

"Oh if it's the pregnant mistress" she said with a scoff.

Lisa had to compose herself, she needed her uncle to listen to her, even if it meant taking insults

"Allyson, you don't even know what happened, I need to talk to uncle" 

"Yeah everybody knew what happened, you seduced him and got pregnant knowing he was engaged" she said with her voice filled with scorn.

"Allyson, where is…."  Lisa started talking but she was caught by " Allyson who is at the door!" A scream from the house caught her in.

It was her Aunty, this would not turn out well, Lisa thought.

When her aunt came and set eyes on her, she rolled her eyes, then screamed for her uncle to come.

He took a couple of minutes before he showed up, the moment he eyes on her, his gaze turned cold causing chill to run down Lisa's spine.

Maybe this was a bad idea she thought, but she doesn't her anywhere to go, she wasn't even legal to be in a club, her uncle was her only option, she just had to not blow it up.

She took a deep breath and spoke up, breaking the silence between the four of them  " uncle I...I wasn't the one, I don't know how Eduardo got it mixed up I don't even know him" 

"Eduardo huh?" Allyson said before her uncle could say anything.

Lisa mentally cursed herself, referring to him by his name when she doesn't know him doesn't sound very believable.

"You claim you don't know him and you are calling him like that huh" her Aunt chipped in, adding more salt to her situation.

"I am telling the truth, it was what he was called and….and I…" she didn't know what to say, she just need to show them the pregnancy test and clear her name.

"I have proof that he is lying" she continued, she searched her bag for the pregnancy test she took, after thirty seconds of searching under frantic gaze, her heart sank.

Her bag, her bag had a tear beneath it, she didn't even know how it happened, her phone, the test and her purse, everything slipped out, how can she clear her name with no proof.

For the first time since today and she felt lost, and hopeless, a silent tear slipped down her right eye.

"See Dad, she doesn't have any proof, she is his mistress" Allyson spoke up, breaking the silence.

Her Uncle took a deep breath, before speaking"I have tried my best with you, and what I get in return is, shame and disrespect from you and that spoilt Rich boy"

Her heart sank deeper, she knew where this was headed but she prayed, she was wrong, she hoped she was wrong. He continued "My relationship with Emily's family is hanging by a thin thread, because of you, I might lose billions of dollars worth of contract", he paused, before continuing " I can't let you stay in my house, can't house a slut" he concluded.

That was everything needed to shatter the piece she was hanging on to, it was past ten, where would she go to, she didn't have any friends or relatives in town except her uncle.

"Uncle, I don't have anywhere else to go, please" she pleaded, trying to stop her tears from falling.

"You are old enough to be in love, you should be old enough to stay on your own" he said firmly, he urges for his wife and daughter inside, in other to close the door, Lisa fell on her knees, she barely do this but she had no other option "please" 

He shook his head "you aren't aware of the implications of letting you stay here, my words are final, don't make me throw your mom and sister out" 

Lisa immediately shook her head, her mom is already sick, and her sister, no she wouldn't let her uncle's wrath affect them too.

Her uncle didn't wait for a reply, he shut the door and she heard the key click.

Great she was homeless, with no money or phone, she can't even contact her mom.

Slowly walking and trying to retrace her steps, hopefully she would be able to find some of her stuff.

Never in her wildest dream had she expected today to go like this, it didn't start off great but she didn't want it to end like this.

Eduardo. That jerk ruined her life, why did he even do that, she didn't even know him, why ruin a stranger's life? Rich people, she mentally rolled her eyes.

She was deep in her thoughts when a black 2022 Rolls-Royce Cullinan pulled up beside her, snapping her out of her thoughts, she turned to face the car, " can I help you?" The windows were still rolled up and we're pissing her off. She was already at her lowest. What more could happen.

It took a couple of seconds before the back door popped up and it was the devil himself.

"Get it" his voice was husky and he seemed different from the man who had ruined her life at his wedding.

"So that you can finish me off?" She asked sarcastically.

He didn't react, just stared at her "you would be finished, if you don't get in the car" he said firmly.

Lisa was going to object but he was right, it wasn't the best thing staying out late, and she didn't have anywhere to go, reluctantly, she got it and closed the door.

"Thank you." He said gave the driver instructions.
