Fate's Twisted Dance : Billionaire Unforseen Legacy

CHAPTER NINE

MIRA’S POV

Squinting my eyes open, I was met with a white ceiling and a loud chewing noise which only intensified my headache.

“ Hey! You're awake. “

Lily sat on the chair munching on salad loudly. Still trying to figure out what she meant I watched her pick another portion

“ Could you stop munching so loudly, you know it's irritating. “ I said trying to sit up.

“ Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. My headaches. “ I said gently laying back down and closing my eyes.

“ And that's what you get for being so irresponsible. You're an expecting Mother Mira, the child wasn't expected, yes, but it's growing in you. So take full responsibility. “ Lily placed her covered salad on the table while lecturing me.

As soon as my brain registered her words, my eyes widened and I threw my hands on my stomach protectively. I clearly remembered feeling dizzy in the car on my way back to the house, but that's all I remember.

“ Lily, w-what do y-you mean? “ Fear gripped me as my heart beat sped up . Lily completely ignored my question tapping her way on her phone.

“ Lily could you just speak to me? “ I placed my hands on my head as I say up.

“ Your child is safe. Luckily your bodyguard made it here on time before anything serious would have happened. “ I made a mental note to thank John.

Letting out a breath of relief, I replied. “ So how did you know about this? Who brought you here? “ I asked softly not to come off rude. Lily placed her phone down turning to me.

“ Chasing me away so soon? Well, you might have shut me away from your life ever since you got married, but Anthony didn't. “ confusion clouded my features

“ Anthony? Anthony is here? “

“ Yes he is and oh! He’s furious. He mentioned something about telling you to visit an obstetrician or so today. “

I sighed in remberance.

“ Why are you shutting everyone away Mira? Is it Anthony? Is your life threatened in some type of way? You could always talk to me Mira. “

Her words were filled with worry and pain because of my actions. I felt so bad but I couldn't tell her nor anyone the truth. It was stated in the contract, and I could defile legal papers because of my emotions right?

My made grabby hands towards her, lily glared it me with a ghost smile before she stubbornly walked into my arms. Engulfing her in a deep hug, I pulled her away grabbing her hands.

“ I'm sorry for being such a crazy girl. And I didn't shut anyone out. A lot has happened in the past few weeks…” releasing a breath, I continued looking away.

“ I wanted to come to terms with how fast my life has changed and is still changing. “ Finishing off, I smiled tightly, lightly hitting her arms.

“ A glass of water won't be a bad idea you know…. “ I signified with my eyes at the unopened bottled water sitting on the table.

“ Oh! Silly me! I was asked to give you this when you wake up. “ She said pouring me a glass of water.

“ These hospital gowns should be really banned. Anybody that walks in here would think i just had a surgery. Especially with this things in my hands. “ I scrunched up my nose staring at the interconnected wires or tubes in my left hand.

“ But in all seriousness, you should start acting like a responsible mother because as far as I'm concerned, you're already one. “

“ Yes mummy. “ Rolling my eyes, I chuckled.

“ Uhmmm, so, uhh, where's Anthony “ lowering my gaze, I fidgeted my fingers

“ Well I think he’s- “

The door opened and Anthony stepped in with the doctor.

“ Here. “ She finished off, wiggling her brows at me.

“ I see you're awake Mrs Reynolds, I'm Doctor Stephanie, you obstetrician or Gynecologist. Whichever you decide to call me. “ A woman, who looked to be in her forties, introduced herself grinning ear to ear.

Standing behind her was the opposite of her actions. Anthony stood with both hands in his pocket blankly staring at me. But, I knew he was furious.

“ After tests and examinations carried out, we are fortunate to acknowledge your safety as well as your unborn childs’ safety. But, we must advise you to prioritize your health henceforth.”

“ There are some essential vitamins, foods and practices that should be done at this stage of your pregnancy that are not taken and done hence your frequent headache, dizziness, nauseousness, and other symptoms. “

“ Though, these symptoms are common in women in their trimester, Mr Reynolds here, confirmed your frequent complaints of dizziness before and after eating, loss of appetite and more I believe? “ She said walking to me, and unwrapping the stethoscope from her neck.

“ Yes. “ The stethoscope came in contact with my chest for a while before she removed it.

“ Good. Don't worry Mrs Reynolds, you're going to be just fine. “ As if sensing my doubts, she reassured me rubbing my arms.

“ The vitamins and medications has been prescribed along with some fruits to take. Foods to avoid and eat was also enlisted. Our next appointment would be communicated soon. A nurse would come in to check your vitals and confirm your discharge. Enjoy the rest of your evening Mr and Mrs Reynolds, Miss lily. “ Dr Stephanie concluded before leaving the room.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and a bit scary. Anthony still hadn't budged or

said anything.

“ Uhh, it's getting really late and I have work early tomorrow. Goodbye my sweet girl. Do take care. “ Lily hugged me lightly.

“ Goodbye Mr Reynolds. Thanks for calling me. “ Anthony still never said anything in acknowledgement. Then, she awkwardly smiled and left.

After she left, I felt his burning gaze at me, throwing daggers at me. I wasn't scared of his reaction, I just wasn't ready for a fight so I avoided his gaze settling properly into bed.

A nurse came in shortly, breaking the tension in the room. She most likely sensed something but acted oblivious, doing her job.

“ Okay Mrs Reynolds. All vitals checked and you are good to go. The doctor advised you to rest properly and take a healthy amount of water. “ Opening a file, she slipped a paper confirming my discharge signed by Dr Stephanie into my hands, then she exited.

“ Anthony I can't take this torture please just say what you want to say. I know you have a lot to tell me. “ I huffed finally meeting his stare.

“ You lied once again Mira, you told me you had to see your mother before her departure and then you would visit the obstetrician. “ He broke his silence in a suspiciously calm tone.

“ I didn't completely lie. “ I defended also calm with my tone.

“ I know you never wanted this child but please don't let the baby suffer. It didn't choose to come, life happened. “

“ Why is everyone saying that like I'd kill my child? “ Hurt was all I felt listening to his words.

“ Yes I may not have wanted this child but I would never hurt my child or hate it. So please stop. “ Tears threatened to flow, but I couldn't let it this time.

“ You're are overreacting for a child whom you believe isn't yours. “ I challenged him back, leaving him to his thoughts and heading to the toilet to get changed.

……..

The harsh sounds of lightning made me jump off my bed. I had been trying so hard to sleep for the past two hours, but the constant lighting sounds, the trees’ shadow casting through window as it moved weirdly to the pitter patter sounds of raindrops on my window frame. Only for the darkness of my room to add to the horrific experience. This was exactly how horror movies started.

So i ran into my closet, grabbing a robe as well as my phone and running out of my room.

Quietly turning the door knob to Anthony's room, I was surprised it opened but also thankful nature was on my side this night.

His manly scent welcomed me, reminding me of how good he smelt. It was a crime to smell this attractive but I definitely wasn't complaining. I stood watching his bare tatted chest rise up and down as he slept.

Taking quiet steps towards the other side of his bed, I got in the bed covers laying down on my side, facing his peaceful face. The covers only shielded his waist below making me wonder if he was bare or not. Naughty thoughts filled my head as I bit my lips hard suddenly feeling so aroused.

The memories of our passionate night together clouded my thoughts. I couldn't remember his face, yes, but I could definitely remember how I was treated, held and worshipped.

I drew closer just to keep my lustful thoughts going. My fingers itched to trace the lines of his tattoo. My finger tips itched to touch his n*****s. So I did.

I shamelessly touched his n*****s, tracing the lines of his tattoo biting my lips and rubbing my legs together. It still wasn't enough for me.

Getting closer than before, I studied his facial features noticing his light growing stubble on his chin, his birth mark by the corner of his nose and then finally, his pouty pink lips.

I wanted to feel his lips on mine so I leaned down hypnotized with his sexy lips, I pouted mine trying to kiss him. I was so happy I was finally going to feel his lips again on me, to remind me, this time, with a sane mind.

My breath fanned his, indicating how close our lips were then suddenly, his eyes snapped open.
