The ultimatum that Liam had given me was officially over..... still didn't get to pack things properly, hadn't even told my parents about what had happened. I had no money so most likely that was where I was headed. Sydney had practically moved it making packing more inconvenient for me.
"Ann.... what are you doing here? "Dad asked as I entered ....
"You could have allowed her at least settle in you know?" Mum said .
"No... what is she doing her with all her luggage?" Dad asked again.
I couldn't say a word... what could I have said? That Liam didn't love me? Or Liam hated me and treated me like a maid? Or the fact that Liam didn't touch me and I was expected to give birth to an heir.
"Why are you crying my child...." Mum asked as she came to give me a hug...
"Liam filed for a divorce." I said my voice shaking
"I always saw you as good for nothing.... but now I know you are worthless... worthless Ann !!!"he said.
"Can you calm down ?" Mum pleaded.
"No I won't..... Ann what exactly do you want?... you went to college abroad and came back with nothing good to show for it....now I managed to marry you off to maintain my business name and guess what? Just like before you came back home with nothing good to show for it... Ann I am beyond disappointed in you" he said as he lowered his glasses.
What did this man think of me ?...... why did he treat me so badly?.
"Dad I didn't leave Liam.... he left me " I screamed .
"You just weren't good enough......?" He said.
"I always knew adopting you was a bad idea..... you've brought me nothing but shame"
"Eric stop this " my mum shouted
"Wait what?.... adopted?" What do you mean ? "
"Yes you were adopted.... a replacement for my dead daughter "
What was dad saying?
"Mum tell me this isn't true " I faced mum as tears flowed down my eyes...
She didn't say a word...
"Now I wish I left you at that hospital..... now you've humiliated me and this is my punishment to you.... Ann from today onwards I am no longer your father.... I disown you, you are never to be seen around I and my wife ever again."
"Dad please"I begged
"Take your things and leave right this instant" he added.
"Mum please" I pleaded
"I'm sorry Ann" she said.

"Look at the bright side, at least you're out of that b*****e you regarding as marriage " Rachel my best friend said.
"I'm out of the marriage...but lost my relationship with my father , I'm out of the marriage but I didn't get to experience the type of love I was ready to give, I'm out of the marriage but everyone knows me as barren.... Joyce I'm losing my mind here...how could I bear an heir when Liam didn't even touch me." I said .
"Wait... hold on.. so you mean Liam didn't touch you.... I thought ceo's like him loved things like that?" She asked.
"Racheal... he never did... the one time he actually did was when he was drunk.... Rachel it was more of r**e than sex.... and even he doesn't remember" I answered.
"Ann... you're confusing me, explain what you mean ?" she asked.
"It was a stormy night, I was staying up waiting for Liam.
"Where's Sydneyn" he asked when he entered.
He reaked of alcohol..
I was still pondering on how he got home when he asked again.
"Sydney isn't here?....then who are you?" He asked again
"I'm your wife Liam...... dinner is ready.....pls come and have some "
"My wife?... well my wife looks so sexy" he said as he came closer.
And the rest is history Rachel.......
Rachel I gave him everything, I gave him me, I gave up all and everything for that marriage with Liam and you know it.... but here I am today begging for somewhere to sleep.
"No no...you're not begging Ann. I am always with you. We're sisters not even friends and I promise to be by your side no matter what happen. You can stay till you feel better.." She added.
No one had ever been so supportive, only racheal was. She was always fair and loyal to me. She understood me better than anyone, I didn't even have any other person since highschool. I loved Rachel. I wish Liam was just like Rachel.
***********
"Ann I'd be on my way to work soon" make sure you're good.
"Okay Rachel.... byeee" I called out from the room
"Make sure to see a doctor for your health today " Rachel said.
Sometimes I wonder if my real parenting gave me Rachel as a guardian. If they did , that was the best decision they made for me. Rachel treated me like a friend and a daughter too..... she even remembered my health. Having Rachel in my life was nothing short of a blessing.
I had been feeling quite nausea and sick for the past fews days... already taken some drugs but nothing seemed to be working.... Racheal had suggested that I should go to hospital and that was what I was going to do today..
"Good day sir" I greeted the doctor
"Yes are you Mrs.Ann?" he asked.
"Miss Ann actually".
"I'm so sorry"he responded .
"We've checked all the test and taken note of everything ma" he continued .
"Okay sir..... whats the nature of the illness?" I asked.
"Oh yes... from all the text we carried out... it turns out you're 3 weeks prega....
"I don't get you sir" I interrupted.
"You’re 3 weeks pregnant ma" he repeated.
"But I can't be pregnant sir.... my husband hasn't laid a finger on me since forever .
"Uhm I thought you were single ma"
"It's complicated... but what do you mean I'm pregnant sir.... my s*x life is totally inactive " I said still in denial and confusion.
"Well a baby just can't grow ma... try to think back " he said handing me an envelope.
I opened it and there it was..... 'POSITIVE' I saw glaring at me. I looked over to the name bar and saw it " Mrs. Ann Thompson ".
"It can't be doctor....are you sure there's no misunderstanding?" I asked again.
"I'm having another patient now ma ..... but if that's what the test states then you truly are pregnant.
They are just very incompetent, unprofessional even.... they got the test results mixed up... I'm going to another hospital.
I made my way to another hospital and still in disbelief of the fact that I was pregnant..... I? Pregnant? Nope that was like saying Lion could fly.. it wasn't just possible.
"Good day Miss Ann" the female doctor greeted.
She didn't take the 'Miss' for 'Mrs'... she seemed competent .
"Yes , good day ma" I greeted.
"Have you been stressed lately" she asked.
"Yes ma I actually have". I responded.
"Okay then..... well ma you shouldn't be going through as" she responded as she wrote that down.
"So we've taken a look at all tests taken and it is confirmed ma.... you're 3 weeks and 2 days pregnant " She said excitedly.
"Oh no ma .... I can't be " I said in disbelief
"But you are ma" she continued still laughing
"Well my s*x life is inactive so how am I pregnant?" I asked
"Please think back ma " she said.
Pregnant?.... Ann? Pregnant? I? Pregnant ?.... that's just not possible. I hadn't had s*x with anyone recently. Liam didn't actually touch me so how was I pregnant. I said as I walked back home..
It finally hit me.....that night with obkLiam.... the only night Liam ever touched me.... I am pregnant.
Nobody must know about this, not even Rachel , they'd say I cheated on Liam. Liam would never even believe me and I didn't need another drama from Liam or his family .
A lot had happened in the last few weeks but now I'm pregnant?.... oh my.
"How was the hospital thing , what was their diagnosis " Rachel asked as she entered inside the house .
"Oh it's just stress according to them" I answered.
"I thought as much too. I know this few weeks has been alot but I need you to stop thinking.... life only gets better from here..... you need to start planning your life again and just know I'd always be here for you "She said as she gave me a hug.
'Thank you so much Rachel, for everything . All this really means a lot really." I said breaking off the hug
I'm happy cause at least now I know I'm not barren like it was rumored but what would I do from here. Do I tell Rachel?. Rachel was the only one I knew I could tell but then why tell her ?.
Did I plan to live with Rachel all my life?.
Is this how my life is going to end up?
The Billionaire's adopted daughter who life went down hill after her divorce with her ex husband.
Never.......
