My ex's brother

chapter 2

As Ella went to the doctor, she looked around nervously. She knew David's men were following her. However, she came up with a plan to explain her situation. Since she plays the caring wife, she will say that she has changed her mind about the baby and wants to get tested. To prove her words, she has even bought a small bodysuit, which she will give to her husband for their future child.

She smiled thinking about it and was about to go up the stairs when suddenly she heard a notification sound from the phone. She looked at the screen and saw a text message from Vanessa, David's sister.

"What the f**k does she want?" She gritted her teeth as she unlocked her phone.

Vanessa: Hey, sister-in-law! Why are you going to the gynecologist?

Ella rolled her eyes. Vanessa was expecting her third child. He must have seen her here somewhere.

Ella: David and I are trying to have a baby, so you know... I need some tests :)

She wrote according to her plan. She didn't have to wait long for an answer.

Vanessa: Ohh... haven't you ever considered that you might be infertile? :(( Something's not going well for you.

Ella immediately sensed the malice and irony in the message. Vanessa was just like that.

Vanessa: I don't want to worry you, but you won't be a useful wife if you don't bear my brother a son... :(

Ella smiled slightly. They honestly thought she cared about David. Meanwhile, she would jump for joy if he left her.

Ella: Don't worry about me.

She replied quickly, then put the phone in her pocket. She had a scheduled appointment in 5 minutes.

She looked nervously around the corridor, but couldn't find Vanessa anywhere. Normally she would be happy, if it weren't for the fact that she can't see her in this situation, but Vanessa probably sees her perfectly.

"Mrs. Ella Draycott!" The doctor called Ella from the office.

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Good morning, ma'am."

She threw it as she entered through the door. She looked nervously at the young doctor.

"So, what's the problem, Miss Draycott?" The doctor smiled and looked at Elle, pointing to the chair in front of the desk. Ella sat down and sighed loudly.

"I think.. I might be pregnant." She said quietly.

The doctor looked at the computer.

"But... I don't want this baby." She said after a long moment.

The doctor cleared her throat and looked Ella in the eyes.

"Are you sure, ma'am?" She asked with obvious concern. Ella nodded shyly. "Well... I invite you to the couch."

The doctor smiled and showed Ella where to lie down. A moment later, she was already applying cold ultrasound gel to her.

Ella looked out the window, not knowing what to think. She was snapped out of her trance by the sound of the fetal heartbeat. She slowly turned her head, looking at the screen in front of her.

"Well... congratulations or not, you are indeed pregnant." The doctor looked carefully at the ultrasound machine screen. "It's about week 7."

Ella had a confused look on her face, and even though she felt guilty, she couldn't keep the baby.

"Ma'am... I really can't maintain this pregnancy." She said, avoiding eye contact with the doctor.

The woman sighed softly and invited Elle back to her desk.

"Okay. I'll schedule your abortion. If you change your mind, please call."

Ella nodded in thanks.

"It will be... November 3rd, in 2 weeks." She said, tapping on the keyboard.

"November 3rd? That long?" She looked anxiously at the doctor.

"Hmm... unfortunately we don't have a faster place." The doctor said as she finished writing out the referral.

"I understand... thank you." Ella smiled as she took the note. She immediately stood up and hurried out.

"In two weeks... two weeks..." She talked to herself as she passed people in the hallway.

"Won't David realize it by then?"

Back home, Ella collapsed onto her bed and sighed heavily. She dialed her best friend's number.

After a short beep, she heard a sweet girlish voice on the receiver.

"Hey, Ella! Is something wrong? " Nora asked with concern in her voice.

"Actually, when can you meet?" Ella said without enthusiasm.

"Hmm... maybe even today? But is that a bad thing? You don't sound good... did that fucker do something to you again?" She asked with visibly growing frustration. Nora was practically the only person who genuinely supported Elle in her failed marriage and constantly told her to get away from him.

"This is not a topic for a phone call... Nora," Ella sighed, turning over to the other side. "If you can do it today, then so be it. At 2 p.m. in our cafe?"

"Sure, I'll wait," Nora said, hanging up.

After talking to Nora, Ella went to make herself some tea, but before she could reach the kitchen, she heard a hushed male voice from behind the wall.

Was David home? She thought, stopping.

"Yes, yes, me too," She heard David whisper.

"Don't say thaaat," He laughed.

"Okay, okay, I love you too," He whispered as quietly as possible, and then she heard her put the phone on the table.

Ella froze. Could David have a mistress? Her eyes lit up with joy. She decided to ask him about it later.

In a really good mood, she started to descend the stairs when she heard someone following her.

She turned and saw her husband. He looked embarrassed.

"Ella, are you back yet?" He asked, hugging her.

"Yes, what?" She asked suspiciously. Her heart was pounding.

"Nothing... the celebration begins in the evening." He cleared his throat.

"Be ready," He kissed her on the cheek.

"I know... you already saided that..." She said turning around, but then David grabbed her arm.

"One more thing..." He said it more sternly.

He asked, looking straight into her eyes. "What did you do at the doctor's today?"

Ella swallowed hard. It was time to implement her plan.

"Honey... I know how much you want a baby, so I agreed to the idea. I went to get some necessary tests done." She smiled nervously.

David looked at her suspiciously for a moment. He was about to say something, but then his phone rang.

He clearly lost his confidence and quickly went to answer the phone, giving Ella a kiss goodbye.
