Donald has never been so scared in his life, just thinking of the way Nancy passed out, oh God is he the one responsible for her raised blood pressure?
He looked at her and she looked so fragile, just then she opened her eyes and looked at him.
"What happened to me?”
"You passed out, the doctor said you have raised blood pressure.” He said.
"When am I getting discharged?”
"When your blood pressure becomes stable”. She looked at the monitor, it is stable right now and I want to go home.” She answered
"Ok I will get the doctor.” Just immediately he left her room a very gorgeous woman walked in.
"So you are pregnant.” the woman said.
"Excuse me.?" Nancy asked.
"You know I have tolerated him sleeping around with any woman but what I won’t tolerate is one of his stupid mistresses been pregnant, so when are you getting rid of it?” the woman asked.
Nancy was so surprised she has never met this woman so what did she want from her? And did she just ask her when she is getting rid of the pregnancy?
"I don’t know who you are or who you think you are talking to but I want you to leave.”
"No you are the one who doesn’t know who she is talking to, am the woman who was picked for him to marry.” She said with a coldness in her eyes that sent chills along Nancy’s body. Just as she was about to respond to the woman Donald walked in with the doctor.
"Monique what are you doing here?” Donald asked, ahh so the woman’s name is Monique .
"I came to tell you that dad wants us to set the date for our wedding.” She said.
Donald looked at Nancy and he could see them filling with tears. God he wasn’t in the mood to deal with all this right now.
"Monique love you go home, I will come by tomorrow so that we talk.” He gave her a kiss on the lips. So she turned to Nancy with a smug look on her face, "nice meeting you Nancy hope everything works out for.” She said.
"Well that explains a lot, doctor can I be discharged,”
Yes but you have to take it easy, your pregnancy is still in its early stage. So the next time your blood pressure gets high you might lose your pregnancy.”
"I will make sure she has enough rest.” He answered, she glared at him with angry eyes and he just shrugged his shoulders.
On the drive home Nancy saw that this is not the road to her house,
"Where are we going?”
"To my house.” He responded
"Why are you taking me to your house?”
"We need to talk,”
"We can talk at my house, you don’t have to take me to your house.” Donald decided not to answer her, she was looking for a fight and he didn’t want to upset her again.
"Isn’t it funny that we have dated for two years and you have never taken me to your house?"
Nancy was getting irritated with his quietness.
They reached his house and Nancy looked around the house while Donald was making a drink for himself.
"Am sorry Nancy,”
"What are you sorry for exactly?”
"Am sorry that you are pregnant but you can't keep that pregnancy.” Donald felt his heart bleed just by telling her this, but this has to be done and the fact that Monique already knows about her pregnancy he was even more scared for her life. Monique is the daughter of the north mafia, who is his father’s best friend. It was decided when both him and Monique were kids that they will have to marry.
Nancy is the mistress he has kept longest and Monique now knows that she is pregnant and both her and the baby are in danger. Monique is life her father, she kills and hurts people easily.
"I know that am nothing to you but I can’t believe that you would ask me to get rid of your own child, Donald your own child?” She cried. Nancy couldn’t stop the tears running down her cheeks.
Donald saw that she was getting stressed and didn’t know what to do. God knows he didn’t want to get rid of his own child but if she keeps the pregnancy there is no knowing what will happen to her.
"This is beyond me am trying to protect you.” He shouted
" You have a strange of protecting me and what are you protecting me from?”
"I can’t tell you.”
The knot in her throat swelled and stuck, rendering her incapable of drawing a breath. She couldn’t think, couldn’t react. Numbly, she headed for the door with no thought of collecting her things. She only wanted to get away. She paused and put her hand on the frame to steady herself before turning around to look back at him. His face remained implacable. The lines around his mouth and eyes were hard..
"How could you think I’d do something like that?” she whispered before she turned and walked away.
She stumbled blindly into the elevator, quiet sobs ripping from her throat as she rode it down to the lobby level, she walked unsteadily down the side walk into the night.
The warm evening air blew over her face. The tears on her cheeks chilled her skin but she paid them no heed. He would take responsibility of his child. She would make him. She will give him the night to calm down,.
In her distress, she took no notice of the man following her. When she reached the curb, a hand shot out and grasped her arm. Her cry of alarm was muffled as a cloth sack was yanked over her head.
She struggled wildly, but just as quickly, she found herself stuffed into the backseat of a vehicle. She heard the door slam and the rumble of low voices, and then the vehicle drove away.
Nancy was so terrified for both herself and her baby. They drove for a long time and then the car stopped. She was removed from the car and taken into a room. Then she heard people talking about her.
"Are you going to kill her boss?”
"Not yet she is my bargaining chip, you can have fun with her later .” That sounded like Monique’s voice. What was Monique doing here is she the one responsible for all this? Are they going to kill her? Oh god her baby, she closed her eyes in despair and two rows of tears slipped down her cheeks.
