“She never told you?.. We got intimate two months ago..” Ethan grinned and Levi's eyes widened even more.
The only wish I had at that moment was for the ground to open up and take me into it’s depths but unfortunately it seemed impossible.
It's hard surface still remained that way under my feet.
I gave my lips a hard bite as Levi's gaze landed on me again. I was doomed, I knew it.
“Coincidences are indeed crazy.." Ethan's mutter came alongside a chuckle.
That damn chuckle was heavily weighty in mockery and creepiness. It defined a million things.
“Two months ago.” Levi repeated in a cold whisper and I shivered as those amber eyes darkened.
I doubt if he had ever been like this since we got married. His expression demanded that I look into his eyes and tell him things weren't true, but how was I supposed to do that when the truth had already morphed into a haunting refrain in my ears – ‘I slept with his rival to pay my father's debt and now I'm pregnant..
Oh heavens, this could have been a dream!.
“I...” I wanted to speak.
“It was after then I heard of your wedding. Thankfully i didn't attend” Ethan scoffed while Levi's deadly gaze remained on me.
“Tell me you never slept with him!” he yelled this time and I flinched, staring back at him with ragged breaths and wishing he could just calm down and read the words on my mind.
It really wasn't intentional!.. I only wanted to help dad from getting jailed.
“Room 23, crown hotels" Ethan pulled himself a seat, crossing those filthy legs confidently. I could see him since I was facing his direction while Levi was backing it.
“Bastard, just shut up” I seethed.
“I can explain..” I tried calming Levi down, feeling his scary gaze boring holes into my body.
“Be.. believe me” I added in a pleading tone but that disappointment didn't leave his expression.
“Shut. your. f*****g. mouth" those words came like they were being spelt. Icy chills ran down my spine.
“So all the drama you've been putting up were fake huh, you weren't innocent after all” his mutter came with a hard glare, reminding me of our wedding night.
I felt so terrible, understanding what he meant. But then, If he could be like this for knowing about the nightstand, what would be his reaction when he gets to know about my pregnancy?..
He better not get to know!
“She moans well, you got a big fish” Ethan smirked from behind him and this time, Levi turned away from me, landing a hard glare on him.
“Get out of my office, Ethan!” Apparently, that was the calmest way he could speak at that moment. The rage in him could bring down a building.
“I came here for something important and I'm not leaving without having a discussion on it" Ethan responded confidently.
“ I am not interested in listening!" Levi retorted.
“This won't end well” I folded my sweaty palms.
“Well, you will," Ethan shrugged.
“I said I won't! Have a death wish yet?!” Levi growled and Ethan scoffed, getting up immediately.
“How is it my fault that your wife lost her virginity to me?!" He intentionally demanded with a raised voice, looking pissed.
“Did I know I was going to meet her here too?!” he continued.
I shot him a deadly glare.
“What virginity, you insane Liar" I badly wished I could say those words out.
The fact that he was responsible for my pregnancy made me hate myself so much. I shouldn't have agreed to that, that day!. Dad could have just gone to his f*****g jail!
I could imagine Levi's heart pounding in rage. He had never laid with me and his enemy was boasting of our intimacy.
Sighs..
Nothing could be more dreadful for a man than this.
I remained silent as I'd been since the whole drama started. ’Cause what was I supposed to say?..
“You have nothing to be proud of anyways, I've seen everything under those clothes" Ethan gave me a swift glance, smirking with pride boldly written in his expression as he pointed his finger tracing my hips.
That increased Levi's anger. He grabbed the TV remote on his desk and threw it on his forehead without warning. Ethan let out a groan..
“No..” I whispered in ragged breaths noticing how dark the rivalry between them was..
“You need to leave right now and go start the process of getting rid of the pregnancy” a voice in me whispered and I grabbed my bag immediately..
This baby can't stay!
“They mustn't know about the pregnancy.. they mustn't!!” I told myself and in haste, I proceeded to move out amidst their yellings and argument.
I noticed a sudden silence as I moved but nothing stopped me in my tracks until I handled the door knob, ready to move out.
“What's this?.. A pregnancy result?..”
Those words made me freeze.
I instantly turned and my gaze caught Ethan with a sheet of paper that made my eyes widen. That's the pregnancy result the lab attendant gave me at the hospital!!
I was completely doomed!!
How could I have been so careless to make it fall without realizing?!
Levi snatched the sheet from him instantly and without hesitation, I rushed over to him, intending to snatch it too… Not until I heard Ethan speak behind me.
“You are pregnant?..”
Time stood still for seconds and my head spun around terribly.
Why was all this happening at the same time?!!
Levi's eyes were as widened as f**k.
“Two months gone..” I saw his lips move while his eyes remained fixed on the paper. I guess Ethan read his lips too because he let out an excited exclamation immediately.
“Wow!”
I almost fainted at the reality's blow while Levi's stunned expression multiplied the guilt in me.
The tension in the air portrayed the feeling and conclusion they were both having in their minds – The baby definitely belongs to Ethan.
“No.. " I shook my head breathlessly, gulping hard.
I needed to erase that mentality!
“That's not mine, I'm not pregnant. It must have mistakenly gotten into my bag” I lied.
I was about speaking again when Levi spoke.
“Shut up before I do something silly!” his eyes were insanely red.
Ethan let out a broad smile.
“Does this mean..” he paused, staring at Levi and i at intervals..
“Your wife is carrying my child?.”
