Chapter One - Move Away
1026 Words
Danielle's POV
"Damn! Yo-u are so h-ot.."
I felt uncomfortable by his compliment. I watched his eyes roam my body and finally settle on my thighs. He licked his lips seductively and leaned closer to me. "How much for the night?" The handsome stranger in front of me whispered softly in my ears.
I was tempted just at the feeling of his body close to mine. His hoarse voice sent chills down my spine and the way he gently placed his hand on my waist took my breath away.
I sneaked a glance at Rachel, my step sister. She looked like she was having a lot of fun, drunk and wasted.
"Come on, I know you want this." The deep voice rang in my ears with so much confidence. He was drunk yet he was unable to hide his commanding presence. He looked familiar, like one of those famous models.
He had chiseled features, a muscular and fit body. Perfect blue eyes and this charming smile that made my heart melt at the sight of it.
"I think I should go home." I blinked twice. I never wanted to be here in the first place. It was Rachel, my step sister's birthday and she suggested that we go to the club. I hated clubbing but I knew I had to do her this favour since I had no gift to offer.
That was the only reason I tagged along and now I was beginning to regret it.
"I'm not going to let you go home." He pulled away from me and this time, he looked so serious about having me for the night. A smirk crept on his face as he boldly said "You are mine for the night."
His words had these effects on me, they weakened and tempted me. Although, his words sounded like that of a playboy.
"If you want it then just go for it." A voice said in my head. That was enough to push the button. I nodded my head in agreement and bit my lips shyly. "Just for the night." I said, my voice was barely awhisper.
What was I doing? I had a fiance and we were going to get married in a week's time. Was i really about to cheat on him just because of the handsome stranger in front of me?
"It is just a one time thing, loosen up. You will probably never meet this handsome stranger again." That voice came back. I listened.
I allowed this handsome stranger lead me out of the club and to the hotel besides it. The hotel was owned by the same people who owned the club. He led me to his room on the last floor.
Immediately we stepped into the room, he snatched me by the waist and kissed me passionately. It looked like he had been waiting for this moment for a long while. The way he kissed me, it had this longing.
I kissed him back and I felt butterflies in my stomach. It was not this way when I was kissing Damien, when I was with Damien, everything felt forced but with this stranger, everything felt right.
He gently placed me on the bed and ripped off my clothes. I watched him pause to stare at my body like it was some piece of art. He admired me and it made me feel special.
This night was a night that I could never forget, regardless of the consequences. I enjoyed the night and I would do anything to re-live it.
***************** Six weeks later.
"You are pregnant Danielle." The doctor blurted out.
I jerked off the seat with a racing heart and my breathing suddenly became hitched. My hands shocked as I came to term with what the doctor had just said. I was pregnant?
"This is good news for you and Mr Damien." The doctor said.
No. It was bad news because the child did not belong to Damien, it belonged to the stranger i had s*x with, six weeks ago.
How was I going to contact him to tell him about the baby in me? The next morning after we had s*x, I was too ashamed to face him, I was too ashamed of myself so I ran away. I didn't get his name, phone number or even house address. It was almost like he didn't exist, the only thing left in my head was the memories of that night.
"Mr Damien would be pleased to hear this. You both just got married a month ago and now there's a baby." The doctor continued.Couldn't she read my expression? I hissed and scurried out of the office with tears rolling down my cheeks.
I had made the biggest mistake of my life and how was I going to deal with it? I should not have listened to the voice in my head, I should have declined the stranger that night. I wished I could go back in the time to right the wrong.
I sat outside of the hospital with my face buried in my palms. I broke down into sobs and i felt a pang of disappointment hit me. There was no way I could face Damien with a child that wasn't his?Even though I wanted to deceive him, there was no way I could do it for long. Damien would eventually see that the child looked nothing like him.
My step mother would kill me if she found out that I was pregnant for another man. After all, she was the one who instigated the marriage between I and Damien. I never loved Damien and I am sure he never loved me too. We only got married for the sake of our families. Now I was about to betray my family's decision.
Without thinking twice, I ran back to the house. I emptied all the money in our savings account and I hastily booked a flight to Rochester and in less than a week's time. I was about to travel out of the country without the knowledge of anyone.
I was about to start a new life with my unborn child.
