chapter 1
Brynn stood frozen as she looked at the two pink lines on a pregnancy test, she wasn't expecting things to move on too fast like that, not with the guy she had known his backgrounds.
"Brynn baby what are you doing in there?" her mom's voice brought her back to normal realizing that they were still at breakfast when she left.
she cleared her throat, words stuck in like she was swallowing an iceberg.
" mom, I was still......" the door swung open. Brynn quickly hid the test in the bin, rubbed her palms on her pajamas and opened the bathroom door with a heavy breath.
"mom, I was just having aa....ah..."
she tried to pretend.
" Are you hiding anything Brynn? " Eva asked.
"mom, I'm .....aah .....nothing" she lied.
" You lie me? are you not pregnant?...I have been watching you " Eva asked her in a calm voice.
"mom, I'm pregnant." she finally confessed with a breaking voice.
suddenly, a soft knock came at the door.
"ma'am, Mr Leonardo need you down, he's angry. he said you left without his permission. and your tea is getting cold." Mei said behind their door.
" okay Mei, go and tell them we're coming back soon." Eva pretended to sound casual...
Mei's footsteps echoed as she descended downstairs.
"Brynn, we have to go. your grandpa is not pleased at our actions." Eva turned to her."
"But mom, what if they realize it? he will..."
" we will figure this out together daughter, don't worry, it's not your fault." Eva squeezed once her hand before sliding out.
Brynn followed her behind but her minds were wild, thinking about how she could face her rude Grandpa,how she could explain what happened.
Down, Leonardo didn't even bother to look at them, his eyes were all focused on the cup in front of him.
" so, you two left without any permission? do you know that you disrespected my dad?" Johnson said, his eyes were straight to Brynn, making her feel embarrassed and shy at the same time.
"Johnson, we are sorry, we didn't mean to do so but his granddaughter is experiencing a stomachache" Eva quickly responded trying to sound casual.
" sit but if you're trying to hide some secrets, just know that I will know everything." Leonardo said with a flat clear voice that made Brynn's heart scream and beat louder than before.......
