Disappearing Billionaire (second Chance)

Chapter 4.Pregnancy.

Sitting on the couch in our one-bedroom apartment, Carol could see that I wasn’t myself. Bitterness and sadness crept onto me gradually, How could I have fallen for him so easily, they played me again.

A wise man once said, “Play me once and you are the fool but the second time then am the fool for real.”

These species called males, have got me messed up.

It had been a week plus, and Jeff neither called nor chatted to me, all the love-making and promises, he was playing me.

“Can you take it easy on yourself Jenny?”Carol said.

I even forgot she was there with me, I was deep in thoughts, didn’t know I was thinking out loud.

“is okay Jenny, men can be scum,but you don’t allow that to get you down, you will be fine,” she assured me.

“We all go through heartbreaks, but we still pick up ourselves and move on, it’s not the end of the world,” she said.

“How could he? he knows he didn’t love me , why did he say he did?”I cried out.

The pain was so much to take.

“Come on let’s go somewhere nice” you have been indoors for so long,” Carol said dragging my hand to follow her.

“wipe your tears, it’s not the end of the world, I know you loved him, is not meant to be, you will get a better person, that am sure.”Carol was good with words she gave me the lines and words I needed to hear.

I told her how he looked into my eyes and promised me love, how kind and caring he was, the lovemaking, his gentle caring nature.

“He even ordered clothes for me, good clothes, and sent me $20,000 to take care of myself,” I said as I showed her the receipt of the money he sent me.

“For real? Then what happened? Why did he suddenly ghost? Even if he feels he doesn’t like you anymore at least he should have told you, not suddenly ghosting like this.” Carol said.

“Men sometimes can be crazy, maybe he just wanted your pants, maybe he intentionally paid you off.” she continued.

“I will go over to that house, I wanna see that bastard, if he wanted my pants he should have said it, rather than playing with my feelings.”I said, sobbing.

“Is ok Jenny, let’s go somewhere, we can relax, maybe see the movies, forget him, he doesn’t deserve you.” she said.

We went to the mall, got some provisions, and foodstuff, and hung out at a close-by bar, before retiring to the cinema, where we saw the new Barbie movie.

“Thank you, Carol, you have been more than a bestie, you are a sister, thank you for all you do for me, God bless and keep you for me,” I told her.

“you are welcome Jenny, you are more like a sister to me, if the reverse was the case I am sure you would do the same for me,” she said holding me tight around her arms.

Days turned to weeks,weeks to months.

It’s the time of the month and I haven’t seen any sign, no sign of my menstruation, maybe it’s just a natural cycle change because I got sexually active after a long time, I assured myself, but is getting to the second month and nothing yet. I got worried, but then am not getting any symptoms of pregnancy, it says on the Internet that my breasts should get bigger, I should start having morning sickness, and I should generally be weak, I might not have been a very serious biology student but I know how it feels to be pregnant.

I once took in for Oscar, I can remember vividly that I was sick for weeks before he took me to a clinic to abort the pregnancy.

There is no way am pregnant, maybe my feelings have affected my body's biology. I have been down since Jeff dropped me off and never called but if my menstruation doesn’t come in a week or two I will have to go see a doctor because surely something is wrong.

Month end came and Jenny didn’t get her monthly cycle flow,so she went to her doctor.

“Young lady you are 9 weeks gone into your pregnancy.”the doctor announced to her.

“I guess you are keeping it,for you to leave it this long,you are almost through your first trimester,and the fetus is getting bigger by the day.”the doctor told her.

Still in shock Jenny couldn’t utter a word.

“Can you hear me at all?young lady.”the doctor asked her.

“Yes Doc,I heard all you said,thank you for your services sir.”she said as she stood to exit the doctors office.

“you seem worried, anything you want to talk about?maybe I can pitch in a word or two.”the doctor said.

“I will be fine sir,I will go decide what to do with this pregnancy, then I will let your know once I'v decided.”She told the doctor.

The words of the doctor kept resounding in her head as she made her way home.

“you are 9 weeks in,the fetus is doing well,I guess you want to keep the baby.”how did she make such a mistake,what kind of pregnancy is this,no signs or symptoms,what is she going to tell mama,who will she say owns the baby

She called her bestie Carol on the phone to tell her the new development.

“Hello Carol,am dead,I just want to commit suicide,why would all the bad things on earth happen to me?”i cried on the phone.

“What happened?”Carol asked.

“I am pregnant, doctor said am 9 weeks in and the fetus is really getting big,he said is a huge risk trying to abort it at this stage,I am tired Carol,I don’t know what to do.”I said.

“I don’t even have any man in my life now,what will I tell mama?”i said, sobbing.

“Listen to me Jenny,there is always a way out,do not work up yourself you will be fine.”Carol told her

“Am at work now,I promise you we will work out something when am back,we are not getting younger,we can do it,yes I mean we can take care of a baby,if you want,relax Jenny,am with you on this.”Carol comes to the rescue once more.
