CHAPTER 5: IN LOVE WITH THE WRONG MAN
Eliora's POV
I began to question love. “Was love really real”, I said to myself, or was it just fantasy. All the men I had fallen in love with just found a way to break me one way or the other.
"Am I the problem?"
Tears ran down my cheeks as I remembered all the men I had fallen for before.
Our Secret relationship was exposed. I had finally had the last straw. My parents called but I didn't pick. They weren't going to help me in any way afterall and I wasn't going to get myself downgraded all over again.
"I'm so sick of their useless advice", I said to myself.
Mandy did her best to check up on me mid wedding preparation. It bothered Daniel too but only a little.
" Are you okay", Mandy would often ask me.
I wasn't, not even near okay. I began to regret everything. I tried my best to put on the best behavior and get my act together.
"My best friend is getting married, so I have to be strong for her", I would often say to myself.
But then again, I should have just stayed to myself.
Any wrong move could ruin my already failing reputation. I stared at the empty room walls thinking of what to do.
" I should probably give up"
When the news got to Gavin , it left him pissed. He didn't bother to check up on me.
" He has probably given up on me"
“Look at the irony of life . So now, I was the infidel” He stopped sending gifts. At this point, I think it's him whose ready for a divorce.
I have a lot on my plate but that's not going to stop me from attending my bestie's wedding. Afterall, I promised her that I was alright and I was going to put in effort during her wedding. Afterall, she did so during mine.
Darwin tried all means to get to me. He sent gifts, he wrote letters, he sent Edward but I just wouldn't listen. I was so done with him. He was the one who denied me after all.
" He called me a harlot, didn't he?", I'd say to Edward
" I thought you were completely against our relationship anyways. Or are you just acting all obedient to your "saintly" boss".
He refused to reply to any of my questions.
"Can you at least just listen to what I have to say"
Edward tried to explain that he did everything to protect me, that if he didn't deny me, then my business would close down, and I would have to pay for it as the manager.
"Who was he kidding?"
He explained that Darwin labeled it complicated and that he has figured out the third party's plan and he needs me to understand that all he did is to protect me.
"To protect me?", I snapped.
I felt sick. There was a chance he couldn't be lying but to humiliate me like that, just to protect me ? Is he even kidding
The next few days were hell. Even my body was against me. The pain I felt in my belly always managed to bring me to tears.
I struggled with serious headache too.
"What kind of life is this"
My body had developed fever admist depression. I went to the hospital to treat myself and thats when I found out.
"Congratulations ma'am, you're pregnant!"
"What!??". I was stunned but what did I expect anyways . I had been sleeping with both men, who wouldn't expect this.
"How do I even go about this?"
Shitt I was pregnant. I had a baby inside me . And there could only be one father. Even I didn't know the father.
"This is pathetic, how do I even explain this and to who, my parents?".
Or was it to who I wasn't sure if he was the father.
I fell back into depression. I didn't want my child to be fatherless.
I have to call Mandy.
