Congratulations Miss Elara you are six weeks pregnant, for a moment my heart stopped working. I felt like I couldn't breathe, pregnant with the child of an unknown stranger, the man who took away my innocence and lied to me even after making me trust him.
I stared at the white paper in my hand as tears rolled down my cheeks.
The door was pushed open as Kyra walked in, her face squeezed into a frown when she saw the tears on my face. Elara stop this already why are you crying again? over a man who ran away after you trusted him?
I showed her the paper in my hand, her mouth wide open in shock
I didn't know why but I still couldn't bring myself to hate the stranger.
When I woke up and couldn't find the man that day I went to Kyra's house since she was alone.
Kyra was the only true friend I have, she was always by my side.
Cheer up, let's go get something to eat,Kyra said with a grin, cheering me up. As we walked to the restaurant we sat and ordered what we wanted to eat while waiting for the waiter.
The only thing I could remember about the stranger was a diamond bracelet he wore,as I couldn't properly see his face.
All the while I have been with Kyra I stayed indoors for my safety,for fear of people seeing me around.
If rumours get to Stevens Louis about my whereabouts he would go to any length to get me caught so I'd rather be careful.
Let's go to the recital, Trust me you will enjoy the show.
Your favourite artist will also be performing, kyra added with a smile.
We boarded a cab to Hills Avenue,Where the recitals will be taking place. We walked in quite early so we sat in the front row, but after a few minutes, the organizer approached us.
Hello ladies this front roll has already been paid for, he said politely, but it was empty Kyra said, yes ma'am but that's because the individual has yet to show up.
I took a glance and watched how wide the front roll is, whosoever paid for it must be freaky Rich,let's go I held Kyra's hand as we moved to the second roll.
The hall was beginning to be filled, with many cheers and presentations. Just when I was beginning to enjoy my moment,the man with the entire front roll walked in, together with a beautiful woman, his hand wrapped around her tiny waist.
My heart skipped a million times, I blinked my eyes to make sure I was seeing clearly.
I recalled the stranger's diamond bracelet – the only distinguishing feature I remembered. The way it glinted in the moonlight, the subtle sparkle that drew me in
The man who I am pregnant for, the man who I gave my trust and innocence.
I was too weak to take a step, it seemed like the entire world had come to a stop at the moment.
I stood up and walked up to where he was seated.
But I was stopped abruptly by his bodyguard. Please, it is very important that I need to talk to your boss. I pleaded and the bodyguard bluntly refused.
I turned my back to leave,maybe I was just hallucinating, perhaps he isn't the one that night.
It was just the bracelet that is common among them and nothing more besides people wear the same dress right.
Wait! A husky voice stopped me from taking another step further.
His bodyguard handed me his boss card, call him.
I stare at the card as many thoughts run through my mind,did he realise I was the one he met that night?
He must have recognised me if not why did he give me his card and asked me to call him.
This morning Maybe I should call him,I picked up my phone and dialled the number on the card but there was no response.
Avondale by 04:00 pm, it's still 11:00am, still five hours left. I couldn't wait for time to run fast.
He arrived shortly after me , the people there were just few, the atmosphere seemed to obey his domineering aura. As everywhere went cold.
And I was beginning to doubt if really is the man I met with that night,
I didn't know if I should ask him if he remembered being in the Woods weeks ago or whether I should go straight to the point.
He checked his wrist Watch I have to get home. I have an emergency, let's go.
Um, I shook my head but it didn't seem like he was asking me for my permission, I stood up and followed him after all I needed to know the truth about who he really was.
Soon the car came to a halt at the front of a very big mansion. I was in awe of how gigantic and beautiful the house was.
As we walked in I sat on the couch, Am Derek stretched his hand for a handshake after which he walked upstairs.
I raised my head to see a man 6 feet taller standing right in front of me with a slight difference with the man who had brought me in.
But he had the same bracelet with Derek too, I was in awe. My heartbeat skyrocketed as we watched each other intently.
Mate!! A voice in my head called Mia 's voice.
The man standing in front of me was more like a Greek god. His silky black hair was stylish and those deep hazel eyes made me feel weak in my knees.
The man who had brought me in walked to us,
What is going on here?Derek asked in fury,his eyes burning with rage as he clenched his fist.
But he didn't seem to answer, as he moved closer
The taller man's eyes flash a ferocious color, his arm circles protectively around my waist.
I was huffing and still shaking from what happened.
I brought her here, I don't care Derek.
She is mine and there is nothing you can do about it.
You are not getting away with this Elliot,Derek yelled at the top of his voice.
“come. His voice was gentle as he spoke,his hands wrapped around my waist.
Did he recognise me?
I fell into a deep slumber and I woke up feeling hungry as I lost my appetite last night,but this morning I was feeling so hungry.
As I walked downstairs for breakfast I heard something that made my blood run cold.
My life was in danger.
I veered around my back to the room, I had barely sat down when Elliott walked in.
