Thorn of Betrayal

Alicia POV “Mrs Saint, congratulations. From the results it turns out that you are three weeks pregnant.” The doctor was smiling, I looked at him and I couldn't help but let a tear drop from my eyes when I got the news. “Tell me it's not a joke sir, please tell me it's not a joke.” I could not believe it either, there was no way in a thousand years that I would try to believe that I was ever going to get pregnant for Andrew. “And why would I want to play with my patient's feelings? There is no way I would ever do that with you my dear, you are three weeks pregnant.” The doctor smiled to reassure me, I was filled with joy and there was nothing going to change it. I had been looking for something that would help me hold my marriage together and from the looks of things all my prayers have been answered. “Andrew is going to be so happy when he gets this news, I can't wait to tell everyone. This is big news,” I couldn't help but think of the things I was going to do if Andrew hears that I am pregnant with his child, it is going to be a party that won't stop. I knew there was nothing else needed for me to make sure that Andrew’s family didn't convince him to leave me . All these years they had tormented me saying that I was only there to make sure that I took all of Andrew’s money, calling me a gold digger and a w***e. I didn't have anything to say to defend myself against them so all I did was to take all the insults and not to call it anything. I loved Andrew no matter what they did to me and this child was going to be an evidence of that love. “Finally, something to hold on to, I know there is no way I will lose him now.” I looked at my belly as I waited for the doctor to give me the medications I will be using for the pregnancy. “Here you go, now once it's up to six weeks I want you to come back for some tests, now hurry on and go give your husband the good news.” The doctor smiled as he handed me a bottle, I looked at it knowing that there was nothing left to do but to give Andrew the big news. I got up with joy still in my heart, I headed home not even looking back. ‘This is the happiest day of my life, there is nothing going to ruin it for me.’ I was sure that nothing was going to make me feel sad, it was going to be the best day I have had in my life and Andrew was going to be very happy with me for the first time in a while. I took a cab and headed home, I could hardly contain myself knowing what was going to happen. I knew there was going to be an outburst of joy and it was not going to be something that was going to be news that everyone had been waiting to hear. I got to the house and it was as if a dark cloud covered the entire building, it was so intense and I knew there was something that happened to make the house look like there was a bad omen there. ‘What is going on here? Wh does it feel this way?’ I noticed there was a different car there, it was a black BMW seven series. I knew all the cars that the family members had and none of them had that model of car. But I was still shocked and I needed to find out what or who was there. I walked in to see there was a lady dressed in a red gown sitting down in the wine bar, I have not seen this woman before. “Excuse me? Who are you?” I walked in but she didn't say anything but look at me. “Who may be asking? I know that all these maids don't know their place anymore.” She was not even looking at me, I looked at her and I was surprised to hear someone talk to me like I was nothing other than the family members. “I don't know who you think you are but you see, I will ask you again. Who are you and what are you doing here?” I was about to get angry but I was trying to see if she was going to tell me who she was but it didn't look like she was going to be telling me who she was anytime soon. I had not seen her before nor do I know her from any of the family branches, it was like she had come to see someone. ‘For a visitor she looks awfully proud, I don't know who she is but I don't like her.’ I looked at her as she was trying to ignore me. “I don't like being questioned, and not by some lowlife like you.” She turned to look at me, I had seen her before she was someone that Andrew would always want to be with before he met me. I thought they were not speaking with each other anymore, but I think I was wrong. “Rebecca? What in the world are you doing here?” I was looking at her with anger boiling in my heart, I knew there was no way for me to even begin to ask her why she was here in the first place. “Oh, it's you. I see you have turned so pale that I noticed it was you. I wonder even being the wife of someone as successful as Andrew Saint yet you can't even change your life. You are nothing but a pity, let me guess you use the money to help your little boyfriends.” Rebecca was trying her best to get on my nerves and it seemed to be working, I couldn't stand her. She was the only person I knew in the whole wide world that can be both manipulative and destructive. “What are you doing here Rebecca? Last I checked you and Andrew broke up and he is married to me. So I wonder what you are doing here and why you think you are welcome here?” I looked at Rebecca trying to get her to say why she was here in my house. I wanted to know what was wrong and why Andrew would allow her into the house. “Well I have come to take my place as the rightful wife in this house, you see I don't know where Andrew picked up trash like you but it pains me to see that he can even keep up with you in any way.” Rebecca smirked as she kept throwing insults at me. I knew there was nothing I was going to say or do that would make her angry since I didn't know why she was here in the first place. I knew there had to be something that brought her to the house and it was like she was going to be here for sometime. “I don't know why you are here or who told you to come but I would be happy if you left. This is not your home and you are not welcome here!” “And why is that?” A familiar voice rang from the stairs, my heart sank when I heard that voice know that there was no way I was going to be safe. I turned slowly to see Andrew’s mother standing there. “Mother I just wanted,” “You just wanted to show how much of a fool you are, that's what you wanted, because there is no way you would think straight and still make silly mistakes.” Andrew’s mother would never miss a moment to torment my life with her harsh worlds. But I didn't still understand why Rebecca was here in this house, it was like she was here for something and I was about to find out what it was that brought her here. “Why is she here?” I didn't look at mother when I asked the question, I knew there was something going on and with the way mother acted it was clear that she knew something. Mother stood there, she didn't say anything but turned slowly and looked me in the eye. “If you need to know, Rebecca here is carrying my grandchild in her.”
