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 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

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 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 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
