FIANDA
And I turned back. "I will have the divorce paper sent to you!" I informed and Mira just sneered at me saying “Better, that’s good for you because I am here to stay.”
And like that, I turned and walked out of his house and his life for good, hearrt-broken, betrayed and devastated with no destination in mind.

I sighed out as I rinsed my mouth and washed my hands. I had to splash water on my face as I stared at my reflection in the mirror.
My eyes were all red and puffy due to tears and my skin was pale. "Are you okay?" Aunt Clara asked, coming in from behind as she handed me a face towel.
"Yes, don't worry. I'm fine." I muttered, forcing on a smile on but I was far from it. I felt nauseous again as I rushed deeper into the restroom to throw up.
"You look so pale Anne, why don’t you go for a check-up. You keep throwing up constantly." She suggested as I rinsed my mouth again. Anne was a name she extracted from Fianda.
"I'm fine Aunt." I muttered slowly, wiping my face with the towel.
"No, I don't think so. Just take a look at your reflection in the mirror, you look so pale and sick." She queried and I whined, titling my head backwards.
"I guess it's from too much crying!!" I mumbled sadly. "I really have to let go off that hurtful memory." I added.
"That's why we are going for a check-up. You can't just assume you know." She said and I nodded.
"Ok fine, you win." I said in surrender as I hugged her. "Thanks, what would I have done without you?"
"Absolutely nothing!" She completed, and we bursted out laughing.
When I left Killian's apartment, I really had no place in mind to go. I had no relatives around and no close friends I could spend the night with. Mira was the only friend I could keep, my busy-life didn't permit me to have as much friends as I wanted. The only reason why we are still able to maintain our friendship was because we had been best friends since high-school so that tight bond was there.
But even with that, I still ended up getting betrayed. While sitting on a bench by the board-walk, I got a call from Aunt Clara and my eyes sparkled with hope but it soon disappeared when I recalled she wasn't in the same country as I.
I had to inform her about what happened and she demanded I come live with her, claiming I needed a close relative at the moment. I had to lodge into a hotel for few days to get my passport and visa ready, I also got the divorce papers and signed it, then forwarded it to Killian.
I felt this was the time to start pursuing my dreams. Killian had opted to it because he claimed he didn't want our future kids to be exposed to the public and he wouldn't want them to experience the consequences accustomed with fame. He claimed he just wanted a simple life where you can walk about freely without having crazy fans stalk you.
But since, I am divorced now and not planning on getting married any sooner or even having kids, I could pursue my dreams now. I could finally become what I had always dreamt of.
I sauntered in, confusion etched on my brows as I held on to the test result. We just returned from the hospital and I got a really devastating news, it came as a blow.
Aunt Clara sat opposite me also lost in thought. "Will you....?"
"No!!" I replied before she could even land. I clearly knew what was on her mind. "He doesn't need to know!" I completed, glancing away as tears slipped out of my eyes. I didn't want her to notice it. "He wouldn't care anyways."
"I understand you Anne, but think about it, he is still the father and he needs to know about his child." She said as she came to sit beside me, holding me tenderly.
"We ended things, so he doesn't need to know. We are likely to never cross paths again." I said as I broke down in tears.
"It hurts so much Aunt!" I muttered as I sniffled. She brought my head to rest on her shoulder as she patted my back.
"Everything is going to be fine dear, don't worry, I'm here for you." She said, comforting me as she offered soothing pets.
I sniffled.
Then my eyes widened when I realised what this meant. Having a child would surely ruin my dreams of becoming a music artist. Apart from that, keeping this child would bring back the hurtful memories I don't want to relive. And if I don't inform Killian about it, my child will come to this world as a bastard? No!!
Or should I just abort it, this might be a hindrance to my career. No Fianda, get a hold of yourself!! You shouldn't be thinking about abortion!! My inner mind screamed, calling me to order as I discarded that evil thought at once.
I was going to train my child single-handedly and nurture him/her very well.
I would make sure he/she does not feel the absence of a father figure. I thought with determination as my eyes closed slowly, I was feeling drowsy.
Months passed and my stomach kept bulging out as the day passed on. Aunt Clara had to deal with my constant naggings and other side effects of pregnancy. Funny to think, she was able to handle my backings. She hardly slept at night as regarding my persistent urge for food.
We were on our way to the hospital for antenatal and an ultra scan. Aunt Clara had been claiming that I was only few months gone and I was heavily pregnant already. She claimed she had her suspicions and that I was probably going to bear twins. We argued on that until we finally decided to go for an ultra scan to know who was right. Inwardly, I wished for only one child.
"It's time to know who was actually right!" Aunt Clara said, tugging at my maternity gown with a light chuckle.
"The scan is going to prove you wrong" I mouthed as I was wheeled into the ward alongside Aunt Clara by my side.
"Shh...let's see about that." She said with a shrug as the doctor applied a gel on my exposed abdomen.
Then she took a probe, transducer as she moved it around my abdomen. My gaze was on the black and white screen.
As the scan went on, the doctor pointed out various sections of the foetus but she claimed she was yet to know its s*x. Just then, she paused as I gave her a questioning look.
"There is another heartbeat!!" She said and my eyes returned-back to the screen. "Two more heads and six legs!!" The doctor explained and my eyes almost bulged out in shock.
"Congratulations ma'am, you are having triplets!!"
The doctor announced to our astonishment. Aunt Clara was also as shocked as I was. I could tell she didn't expect this.
"Trip..." I stuttered.
"....lets..." Aunt Clara completed in a daze.
