Zena's POV
I shut the door almost immediately, using the auto lock in the process to avoid them catching up with me while I looked for the exact room where the father of my baby was.
I could hear the voice of my mother and the doctor cursing words as I began to search through the rooms, looking through the transparent doors to look for him. I was told it was two wards beside mine, but I had no idea where exactly it was.
I ran over to the two wards away from me on the right side, and when I peeped through, I sighted no one there. I didn't wait a second before I hauled to the ward in front of the second ward to check, but it still wasn't. So, I ran my way back to the left and as I peeped into it, I sighted him and I paused. He was right there, laying on the hospital bed.
I turned on the doorknob, pushed it opened, and went in. The first thing I did was use the auto lock, knowing fully well that I was soon to be dragged out. I let out a heavy sigh and leaned on the door to inhale air back into me.
When I had revived myself a bit, I walked away from the door and strolled towards the hospital bed where he lay. He was breathing, so I sighed in relief, he was just fast asleep. I bit my lips, knowing I wouldn't be able to tell him anything or hear anything from him since he was yet to wake up.
Yet, I moved to him and sat on the available seat I found beside his bed. While roaming my eyes over him, I thought of why he never had anyone to be with him.
'Alicia, where is she?' I wondered, and my breath hitched.
If I could remember vividly, Alicia was the fiancé he talked about the last time. She was also the one he was having a call with when we took the elevator, so where was she? As his fiancé, she should have been in the ward with him, but she wasn't. None of his family members were even present. It was all good as far as I am concerned.
I let out a small smile, staring at him. For the first time, I acknowledged his beauty. He was fair, yes fairer than I am even when I thought I was the fairest of all. His pink lips showed out among every other part of his face, making me remember how he had claimed my lips with his that night.
His beard was neatly combed, and his hair waved down his face, though ruffled, he was looking cute. I hadn't had time to admire his look, but I would say he was one of the most handsome men on earth.
I trailed my eyes down to his core to see what body shape he got, but I couldn't figure that out. The hospital clothes were a bit bigger than him, so I couldn't really tell.
I didn't know where the urge came from, but I knew I took hold of his hand and brought it to my tummy. Then I enunciated,
“Can you see now what you've caused after you couldn't control yourself?” I asked even though I knew he couldn't hear me since he was asleep, then a chuckle escaped my lips.
I laughed harder, thinking of how foolish I was to have made that statement. Why was it his fault when he thought I was Alicia? Why was it his fault when I couldn't also resist the urge to stay clear from him?
I was the only person who was stupid for the actions we made. For real, he was engaged, and I was just a slut he met in his room and fucked, then I ended up getting pregnant. What a total destruction.
“You are pregnant?” a coarse and hoarse voice asked, and I raised my head to look in the direction in shock. I flinched when I saw him away.
“You're awake?” I quickly let go of his hand on my stomach.
My question was ignored as I watched him raise himself from the bed slowly into a sitting position. It wasn't too much of a surprise that he was awake, but the fact that he got to know that I was pregnant caught me off guard.
“You're pregnant?” the question came in again, and I didn't know when I nodded my head in response.
“For me?” He asked and I rolled my eyes.
“Of course! With whom did I sleep with?!” I snapped at him, and the answer I was least expecting came out from him.
“I trust you.” Causing me to scoff.
“You trust me? So, you weren't going to trust me if we haven't had a conversation on this?”
He groaned when he shifted comfortably on his bed.
“I don't sleep with anyone.” He sounded weak and tired.
“You…” I paused when I heard someone banging on the door.
I spun my head to the door and those I was expecting were there at the door, calling out to me. I turned back to the father of my baby, and his facial expression wasn't helping. He looked like he also wanted me to get the door.
“You aren't going to do this!” I sneered at him. But He shook his head,
“We should talk about this later. I see you ran away from your ward,” he said, and I heard the autolock coming to an end since they could have gotten the key for the door.
I tugged on his clothes as my eyes clouded in tears,
“We should talk things out now, idiot! I'm not leaving here!” I spat in anger.
He heaved a heavy sigh as I also heard footsteps rushing into his ward. I looked from him to the door and back to him. For Christ's sake! Can't these people understand?!? I was panicking as it was.
“You need to let them know that you're the—”
“Stop it and leave!” he growled at me in anger, causing me to tremble as I didn't expect it. I narrowed my eyes at him,
“You brat." I cursed as a hand gripped my arms and tugged me away from him.
"Zena, what are you doing?” my mother, who was already by my side, asked me, but I couldn't get the right words out of my mouth.
I suddenly felt a spin in my head and I fell down, losing my breath.
Zena Pov's My eyes slowly opened, and the awful smell of medicines hit me hard, I needed no one to tell me where I was. Because the image of what happened was still stuck in my head.“What's the meaning of the stunt you pulled out there Zena?” I turned and I saw it was my mother, she was actually sitting beside me.I stared at her, but I said nothing as I shifted my gaze away from her, I should be angry at her for ruining the only chance I had to talk to my baby’s daddy.“Talk to me Zena,” My mother stated, but the silence was still there. Deep down I hoped and prayed he didn't reject me, but he was only trying to think things through.“Do you know the stunt you pulled out there could cost me my job?” She asked and that was when she started getting my attention.“Cost her job?” I rephase in my head, not getting what she meant. She doesn't even know that man, how come what I did was affecting her greatly.“I ain't letting this slide Zena. Talk to…” Her words were halted when the door
Justin Pov’sWalking out of her ward, I had a mix feelings. It wasn't just about all what she said, but it was all about me.Been a claustrophobia dosen't mean I can't take care of her or my unborn child. We both made the mistake so I shouldn't be criticized for it.She should take the highest part of the responsibilities because I kissed her and she reciprocated, she should have pushed me away and I would have come back to my senses, thereby realizing she's not Alicia.But I was trying to make things easier for the both of us. At the same time I wasn't ready to inform Alicia about this, it'll hurt her badly.“Baby,” I heard Alicia called and I smiled, recognizing her voice already.Finally, someone is here to make me forget the so-called lady who's carrying my child.“Hi babe,” I smiled as I walked to her.She ran to me and she pulled me into her arms. “Goodness babe, I was so scared when your mum called, she told me you fainted inside the elevator,” She said worriedly and I sighed.
Justin POV’s The air around us became tense the moment I said that, silence followed as we both kept quiet, staring at each other. I knew Alicia had much to say, but was she buckling it all in? Has answering a phone call now turned into a crime? Or a crime I didn’t know about.For what seemed like forever, she finally decided to speak. But my breathe hitched, hoping she wouldn’t say anything that’ll jeopardize our relationship, or something that’ll hurt my feelings.“You’d have the answer that? Justin we’re in the middle of something! Are you saying you’d leave me like this?” Alicia asked but I said nothing, instead I slowly stood up and I took her phone. It was my secretary calling, I had to pick up because it might be important since he called twice.“Hello,” I said immediately as I picked up.“Sir the Board Directors are already here, they’ve been requesting to see you, I’ve been able to hold them in for an hour now, but things are getting pretty serious now,” He stated and I sighe
Zena POV’sAs the sun shine brightly against the surface of the earth. I sat down, together with my luggage, waiting for my mother to get ready.I couldn't deny that it was one colourful morning, the dazzling blue cloud made it more beautiful. This is the morning my whole life would change. The place I knew as my home would no longer be my home, only the thought of it gave me an unfathomable feelings.I wanted to be strong, knowing fully well that i’d be able to pull it off. My Father's early demise didn't shake me off, or brought my spirit down, so this shouldn't be an issue.I finished my studies, graduated in flying colors, I studied Business administration and I was the best in my class, but after everything I still couldn't get a job, thereby finding myself at Veju Restaurant. My past should be the only thing that fueled my spirit to conquer my present. I am not backing out from this, for my sake, and for my unborn child’s sake. “You should know you're a part of the Sean’s fami
Zena POV’sMy mouth was opened in awe as I stared at the magnificent building in front of me. It was different from every mansion I’ve ever laid my eyes on.The interior and exterior decor was more than words could express. I was expecting something huge, but this beat all of my expectations.I was just staring at this outside and it is this good, what would the inside look like? Gosh I didn’t even what to think about it.“Let’s go in,” Justin said, and that was when I knew he was standing beside me.The driver rolled my luggage out of the car, as he took it inside the mansion. I was surprised when the maids came out, making a straight line, as they all bent their head.“Good day sir,” They all said in unison and I stared around in surprise. “They all just lined up just to greet him? Really? Is this how it works around her?” I mentally asked myself.“Let’s go in,” He said beside me as he started off. I sighed then I went after him, they all just greeted him yet he didn’t respond to t
Zena POV's I didn't need anyone to tell me what to do next. This wasn't how I imagined my life to be even at the slightest moment, I didn't want my baby's daddy and his mum to have any issue all because of me.Just as I was about to say I'll be willing to leave, the guards rushed in, and they immediately grabbed me.“Let me go!” I yelled, struggling to break free, this was worse than every insult I've received over the years, she just made me feel like a nobody.“Let her go! Now!!” Justin yelled, and the guards immediately freed me.“You guys can leave, you're not needed here,” He added and the guards bow and they left.“What the hell are you doing son? Challenging me because of this bitch!” She yelled, breathing heavily, while I stood, watching her as she dragged me to the mud.“Mum since the very day you gave birth to me, I've never done anything against your will, not even once. But this time around, if you can't do the same for me, just this once. I'm afraid I'll have to make a d
Justin POV's I stared at Zena then I sighed, pacing around. Alicia would get hurt if she finds out about this, and I can't really tell her about Zena. Not now, not ever.My love life is at risk here, and I'll have to protect it at all cost.Finally making a decision, I turned to face her. “My fiance is here Zena, and I'll be happy if you'd stay in here without coming out,” I said, but she stared at me as though she'd already expected such decision from me.“I'm not here to meddle with your life, so I know my boundaries,” She replied and i nodded, leaving the room.I hurriedly walked down the stairs so I wouldn't keep her waiting, I didn't want her to find anything suspicious.“Hi babyyy,” Alicia gushed the moment she same me, and she jumped into my arms.I caught her in my arms, then she gave me a peck on my lips. “What were you doing upstairs baby boy, you kept me waiting,” She pouted and I smiled.“Dont try to act cute with me babe..” I said and she giggled, trying to twerk on my h
Zena POV’sI sat down on the bed staring around, trying my best not to think of what they all said about me. Deep down I was trying to encourage myself that I wasn't a nobody, but his mum’s words left a deep cut in my heart.I was fighting hard, preventing my anxiety from rushing in, I didn't want to do it. But my feelings were been pushed, I was hurt and this was the moment I needed my mum, but she isn't here, it was just me, against the world.I crawled down from the bed and sat on the floor, shivering and swallowing hard. I'd managed to lock all of my anxieties, not wanting to be trapped in, but now it seems I'm going back into where I left.“Mum,” I whimpered as tears trailled down my eyes, I didn't want to self harm, I really didn't want to. But now I had no options.Trapped in my own illusions, voices clouded my head as they all yelled at me. “Burn Zena, Burn!!” This was the voice of a nobody I created in my own head. A voice I stopped listening to over the years, but now it cam
