Finally agreeing to the harsh reality,I stood up walking away slowly with my luggage following suite. I approached the navy blue car which actually belongs to Andy.
As soon as I got in,he pulled me into a tight embrace. "You'll be fine Rory,trust me"he spoke sadly and I could tell he was hurting for me too.
"I made a huge mistake. I never should've gone out that night"I cried on his shoulders. "It's my fault actually. I made you go there. If I'd known this would happen, I'd have just agreed with you calling him to fill him in"he replied guiltily.
"It's not your fault. Maybe I'm to blame for having a family this selfish "I sniffed breaking the hug. "So what's your plan now?"he asked.
"I can't put you in trouble by making you help me. I've decided to look for the child's father"I spoke with uncertainty. "Your baby daddy? You know him?"Andy raised a brow and I nodded.
"He's Julian Edelman "I spoke causing his mouth to widen in shock. "Julian Edelman? As in,THE Julian Edelman?! The friggin 20 years old billionaire?"he exclaimed and I nodded.
"Oh mAh gosh. That's some big fish you got"he gushed girlishly making me smile a bit. "But what if he rejects me? What if he denies the pregnancy? I'll be doomed for sure this time Andrew"I sighed.
"C'mon babe. No room for negative thoughts okay? I know everything's gonna be fine. You just have to believe it too"he smiled at me and I returned it weakly. "So we're storming the JE estate huh?"he asked and I nodded.
"Alright sweetheart. Aurora's baby daddy,here we come! Woohoo!!"he exclaimed crazily and zoomed off giving me this hope I needed.
*********
It's been more than 2hrs and I swear, all the hopes I've got are crushed. How can he say he won't see someone as ugly looking as me? I mean,what happened to the sweet words he showered me with that night? He's a big jerk swears.
"Sorry ma'am but you've got to leave. My job is at risk here"Julian's personal assistant spoke tiredly.
"Tell that dogfaced boss of yours that we ain't leaving here if he doesn't come out to take responsibility for his actions!"Andrew glared at the guy.
"Violence isn't gonna help right now Andy. Uhm,can you please tell him to spare us just 10 minutes? We won't take too much of his time I promise"I pleaded again.
The man sighed and walked in. "I told you Andy. I doubt this is gonna work out"i spoke sadly.
"He doesn't have a choice. If he doesn't accept it then I'll try to help you in the shadows. I'm here for you"he hugged me in consolation. That's when the personal assistant came back.
"Mr Julian said to let you in"he spoke and I gasped. "Really? Let's go Andy"I walked into the huge compound.
"Sorry Mr but you can't join her. Boss said to let only her in. He hates the crowd"what I heard made me turn to see Andy's disappointed face.
"But we came together. It's important for him to be there"i argued. "It's fine. Just go okay? I'll wait for you"he assured and I hesitantly nodded before entering the gigantic building.
Woah. This is heaven! I raised my hand to feel the vase nearby but a voice interrupted me.
"Are you here to touch things or tell me something?"
Damn,I almost forgot it's one rude and arrogant guy I'm dealing with. I turned to see him seated on his million dollar chair.
He had a reading glass hanging above his nose as he focused on the document he was flipping through. I swallowed suddenly feeling speechless.
"I...I did want to speak to you. You see..."I was still speaking. "You're free to stutter but I just wanna do you a favor by reminding you. You've got exactly 8 minutes and 37 seconds to say whatever crap you've got for me"he spoke coldly and I felt the shivers. He's too scary!
"Pardon me. So actually,at the club....we kinda had a night stand"i started and for the first time since I walked into his living room,he looked up at me.
"I..."he poked at his chest. "Had a night stand with.... you?"he looked at me like I was some kinda joke.
"Y...yes"my hold over my dress tightened.
"Okay I've heard you. My personal assistant will pay for any damages I must have caused"he muttered nonchalantly. Seems he does this constantly.
"That's not the reason I'm here. The problem is my mum threw me out of the house because...."
"Do I look like I offer free accommodation?"he raised a brow at me.
"Can you just stop cutting me off!"i exclaimed loudly feeling irritated with his stupid attitude. "The point is you got me pregnant and now I'm homeless. The least you could do is take responsibility for your actions"I spoke all in one breath.
"Wait what?"
"You heard me. I'm pregnant!"I repeated and he scoffed. "For one,I don't even remember having anything to do with you before. If we had a night stand,then I'd have remembered even if I was drunk. For two,if I was as stupid as you think then don't you think this house would be filled with millions of women who claim to carry my child?"he looked at me with disgust in his eyes.
"I... You think I'm one of those bitches after your money?"i spoke hurtfully. "I don't think. I know"he muttered.
"Ask around for the Tang family. I'm their youngest child. What makes you think I'd want to have anything to do with you in the first place? I'm not lying grumpy face. If you don't believe me then you might as well check the CCTV from the club!"I spoke angrily.
"Look,I'm not in for silly dramas. You need money right?"he spoke dipping his hand into his pocket and bringing out some bundles of dollars.
"Just take it and leave. I don't wanna return here and still meet you here"he spoke and stood up before going up the stairs.
Great,now my situation is completely hopeless. My phone buzzed and I looked down to see a text from Andy.
• I'm sorry sweetheart but my dad called. There's an emergency so I had to run. Call me when you're done with your business there. Love ya!
I blinked and tears fell. I glanced at the cash on the table. How dare he? How dare he see me as cheap?
What was I thinking when I chose him to deflower me? I was stupid. So damn stupid! I walked out with different emotions on my face. Anger,hurt, regret.
I rushed out and realized that Andy left with my luggage. I can't call him, he'd want to help me and that'll spell doom for his family.
I guess this is the only choice I've got left. I've got to leave this suffocating country. Rain began falling as if purposely adding to my headaches.
I stood there motionless waiting for any taxi to pass by. As if luck was on my side,a cab stopped in front of me and I got in.
"Airport please"I spoke taking my phone to arrange online tickets for my flight out of this country.
"China,here I come"I breathed out shakily. This is it. The beginning of my story.
