Forever Bound

Chapter 4

Standing right in front of me is no other than the man himself, the one who has been in my heart for a very long while. The man who has been driving crazy and the man responsible for my pregnancy. My eyes lock with Silas's hazel eyes and for some reason, my heart races fast, the butterflies in my belly rise and I feel a sense of happiness for just glaring at him. I want to throw myself around and tell him how much I missed him, I am on the verge of doing that but Silas immediately clears his throat and mumbles to me.

"Follow me." He says walking towards the gate. He freezes in his steps right in front of the guards and I hear him whisper to them.

"The next time this woman comes here, do not let her in." Silas says. I catch the guards nodding their heads and eyeing me suspiciously. Wait, did I just really hear Silas say that or am I imagining things? Why would he say that though? I must be mistaking. I wave it off and step into the large compound with Silas in front of the me. The compound is crowded with unfamiliar faces busy with one thing or the other. Silas leads me into the brightly lit hallways and we make our way towards the stairs. We eventually come to a stop in front of a large door at the right, he pushes the door open and gestures me to step into the room. I look reluctant about it but do I really have a choice? I obey Silas by stepping into the large room. He shuts the door loudly behind me, it startles me for a brief moment. Silas gestures me towards a small couch and I settle on the couch while he just stands in front of me with a straight look. I can not pinpoint what he is thinking or how he feels to see me again. Honestly, I expected a more nice reaction from him, I expected him to be happy to see me since he was basically all over me the night when we first met but now, he just looks like he wants to get over all this quickly and send me off. Did something go on with him? Is this a wrong timing? Should I come back? No, I can not turn back now. I sneak a glance at Silas and surprisingly his eyes are already on me and he has a poker face on. I clear my throat and attempt to say something but Silas beats me to it.

"Are you not going to speak? What do you want and why did you cause such a fuss outside?" Silas snaps at me. His sudden outburst scares me and it makes me wonder if I actually did something wrong to offend him.

"Is that all you can say?" I manage to say although it comes out as a mere whisper. Silas scrunches his brows in confusion at my question.

"Excuse me? What do you mean by is that all I have to say?" He responds.

"I mean after having s*x with me and disappearing all of a sudden. Is that all you can say to me when we finally meet? No warm pleasantries? Nothing at all except a cold behaviour from you." I say. Silas rolls his eyes at me, he takes a step forward and says with a confident look on his face. "What do you expect? A welcome back party thrown for you? Or maybe a kiss to reunite us?" He spits out bitterly. His words sting, they hurt me badly but what can I say? Right now, he is the one in control and all I can do is play along with whatever he has in mind for me.

"Very funny. That would have actually been a nice gesture but that is not why I am here." I say in a more serious tone. Silas scoffs and shakes his head in disdain. He eyes me from head to toe with an irritated look on his face. His eyes settle on the brown envelope in my hand and I can tell that he immediately got the hint of the reason behind my presence because I hear him release a heavy sigh.

"You want to talk about that night? What transpired between the both of us? Well let me tell you, that was just a mistake that we both made. We were clearly drunk and we had s*x. That was it." Silas blurts out. Wow, I bite my lower lip to hold back the tears that threaten to fall from my eyes, I know I should not have expected much from him but for some reasons unknown to me, I did. Throughout the weeks when I was all by myself, all I did was think about him, think of seeing him again and when I finally found out I was pregnant, I was a bit relieved that I would see him again. Now, Silas just seems like an entirely different person from that night. I know I barely know much about him but he just seems like a whole different person right now.

"So what? What are you suggesting we do about our baby?" I deadpan. I hear Silas scoff and raise a brow at me.

"Our baby? Did I just hear you say we and our? What baby? Who do you think you are to throw some pregnancy on me? Did the doctor say I was the father?" Silas snaps at me.

"What do you mean by that? I had s*x with you and just you so who else does the baby belong to?" I snap at him allowing the tears to fall from my eyes down to my cheeks.

Oh no, my worse nightmare is slowly coming to pass.
