When she saw that the emotions were too strong, she lifted her has up and stood by her car to breathe some more fresh air while holding her head. Her life was just like some lost article that was lying carelessly on the table, waiting to fall into the hands of just anyone.
Letting out a deep breath, she looked around like a stranger in her land with a heavy heart.
When he saw that they were all settled, he spike out telling his master that there was a clinic just nearby and that he could drive them there in just some minutes.
"Please do so, hurry up," Adrian mumbled.
His heartbeat could be felt bumping inside the car and the worst thing that could happen to him was what he was thinking. Jessica had suddenly become weak and that freaked the hell out of him.
"Please talk to me, how are you feeling, and where does it hurt?" he raised a question but Jessica did not even understand her own body, just opened her eyes as though she could catch a glimpse of him but everything was blurry.
The only thing she could hear was his voice and though she was feeling the way she was doing, had a heart filled with so much joy just at the thought of having him worry about her in that manner.
Chris continued to drive while looking at them through the read view mirror and thought he was not liking what was happening to Jessica, his head could have some reasoning as the noise they both were making had stopped.
Jessica had no clue about the news that she was going to receive at the hospital and that information, changed her life forever. She was pregnant from the one-night stand that she had gotten with her former boss and when the doctor said it and congratulated Adrian for it, Jessica's world had crumbled.
She had wished that the earth could open up and swallow her but it was not possible, she was still there faced with Adrian and the expression that was on his face was that of a disappointed man. She could already anticipate what was going on inside his head and the feeling that she was having at that particular point in time, was so divided that she thought she was going to die.
Her past was staring at her right in the face and there was nothing she could do about it. Taking a deep breath, she let tears out of her eyes as she had a lot to say but her lips could not bring forth the information.
Glancing at Adrian, she could tell that he was very angry and disgruntled about the situation but was still willing to get an explanation from her the fact that she just sat there looking at him and crying without saying anything, gave him the impression that he had been a fool.
"I get it, you don't have to explain further," he let out in a tone that could soften even the strongest of hearts. Jessica felt so bad not knowing whether it was a good idea to speak up or to start mute but her sole concern was what she was going to do with that baby in the womb. How was her mother going to react to the news and how was she going to take care of a child whose father is a r****t?
Adrian had already turned his back to leave when he gave attention to a voice speaking behind him saying,
"I was tarnished by my former boss," the words made their way out of her mouth, and with a thick tear dropping down her cheek, she felt the sincerity that had followed her words. Adrian could not believe what he had just listened to and not having a clear mind, he slowly turned to face her with the hopes of listening to her say those words more clearly.
"What did you say your former boss do to you?" he asked Jessica who sat quietly as though she had swallowed her tongue. it was more difficult for her to voice it out to his face and the pain that she was feeling was nothing that he could ever understand, never.
Noticing that she was not ready to speak up, he walked closer to her, and with an angry tone, he yelled out in anger asking,
"I asked you a question, what did you just say?".
The whole corridor echoed from outside and Jessica was not sure whether a passerby outside had heard him scream but she felt bee humiliated by his actions. She has not known that he was going to behave in that manner and thought that he was going to be comprehensive. Wondering in what situation she had found herself in, she was feeling so bad for having someone who had anger issues like Adrian and that was so frustrating. Her whole essence was dancing and she could not get to accept what was going on.
He kept on yelling and yelling and at some point, she could not take it anymore so she had to shout at him in anger and disgust over what he was saying. How can someone as educated as him, think like such a lunatic?
He was so full of himself and thought that he could own her she was not going to let that happen, not in that life. Everything came like a shock to her and yes, she could understand that he was lost and disappointed about the situation but pouring out his anger like that on her was a no because he was only adding to her stress and she was not going to take it not from him for anyone.
" How dare you talk to me as though I am some cheap girl?" she asked in a loud voice without even minding his position in society. The rage that she was feeling was one that she could just hit his head with something so that he could just vanish in front of her.
"Is it me you are talking to like that?" he asked looking all shocked ica not even giving a damn about his feelings since he had no respect for her, told him to get off her way. She has taken just enough of his chauvinistic character and did not want to continue like that anymore. His constant abuse and disrespect were becoming alarming and if she had to keep up with it, she was going to be more hurt than she was and that was not something that she will love to have in her life.
Adrian stood there tongue-tied not being able to believe his eyes and ears. The Jessica he was beholding In front of him, was a hurt woman who was going to do anything just to preserve her honor. She has taken so lunch trash from him just because she had grown to love the man that he is but unfortunately, it seems like he was never going to change and his arrogance was going to be the same no matter how many times he is allowed to do so.
She could not stand another minute with him in the same room so she began to struggle to get down from the bed where she was. Her determination this time around to get out of his side was very serious, unlike the first time when she was just joking.
Her heart was filled with so much anger and regret for not seeing who he was actually and how she could avoid his disdain but from the moment that she had noticed that she was pregnant, she decided to leave first to have a more calm head.
Tears rolled down her cheeks whenever age pondered on her late mothers' story, wishing that life has treated her a little bit fairly and had put good men on her way. Unfortunately for her, she only met idiots who ended up quenching the life that was in her and reduced her to nothing. Her life was gloomy all through and ess that she got from her mother found that the latter was pregnant, completely crashed the little hope that she had.
The only family that she had, turned their back on her, leaving her with a pregnancy that was not even her fault in the first place to start with and all she could do was to look for little jobs that could help sustain her throughout the period that she was pregnant.
She had refused to get rid of her baby just like her friends had advised her and the fetus in her womb as being innocent, she could not harm the baby though she was a bit ready to be a mother. Taking note of the fact that it was going to be tough, she still stood her ground to keep her baby and move out of the house due to the stress that her mother was making her go through.
She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and before anything else, she looked at life at the angle that her mom must have looked at. Glenn loved her so much and it was held story that kept her going even in difficult times if not she will not have reached where she was.
Her stepfather maltreated her mother so much simply because he saved her from the hands of her debtors. He had become like her savior and the only thing he asked as compensation was for her to move in with him.
"That pig, you will rot in jail for the great of your life and I can assure you that on my mother's grave," she muttered spitting out at the side of his image in her head.
Witness all that from her childhood, she swore never to have anything to do with any man in her entire life and she intend to keep it as she had that strong conviction that no man deserved her love not attention but little did she know that, her late mother would have never wanted her to be in such a situation where she was going to be alone for life.
What Glenn was not aware of was the fact that things were going to change drastically in no time and she was not going to be able to resist the power of love. Keeping her view on the plain land and crying out every water inside of her, she felt light after that and was happy that she had finally gotten a chance to air out her mind no matter how painful she could feel.
"Now I can go back home and sleep," she said turning around to get into her car but she was surprised by what she saw, or rather the people she saw behind her Seems like she had company and they were not looking like they were going to give her a treat.
"Hey beautiful lady," one of them spoke out with a devilish smile on his lips that made Glenn's whole body ice, and she could not even think of a possible escape as she stood there in a panic looking at them. Her soul felt like it was going to pop out of her body just by looking at how frightful they looked.
Gael and his friend were driving and he was already happy going to meet Yvonne. Though he was acting all tough, deep down in him he appreciates the woman that she was and wanted to be friends with her but her attitude periodically was very funny and she had this domineering character that she did not know herself.
Her constant fights and mood swings were very disturbing but if he has to say anything about it, then he will be in a hot pot of soup from her as she will not take it likely with him.
