One Night Plus a Lifetime

Too late.

Callie called for attention and her voice was the only thing being heard, she did not care if everyone thought she was crazy, "You are a coward Devon...real men show up for their responsibly, money doesn't make you a real man" she spoke while struggling from the hands of the guards that where pulling her and Meredith away from Devon. "whats happening here is everything she is saying true " a lady dressed in a white suit appeared from the conference room. "Aunty, it looks like my cousin Devon will be giving you a grandchild soon" one of the men near Devon spoke, "shut up Dean" Devon was quiet the entire time, he watched the scene without saying a word."Devon you better explain what those girls wanted." the Lady dressed in white was his mother, she was also among his team of campaign managers, any little thing that happened she was involved despite Devon's disapproval, "ill take care of this" Devon said before walking towards the direction of where the two girls. "what are you all still looking at you don't get paid to gossip, and if anyone leaks what happened here outside you will be fired." Mrs Presley said before walking away. three men remained there unmoving observing .they where Devon's cousins, Dean, Levy and his close friend Kelvin.

Devon walked to the elevator and down out of the building a lot was happening in his head, he saw the girls still dealing with security " let them go" he told his guards. they obeyed. Devon smiled at them as if nothing just transpired, it was a smile with sarcasm and deep threats. "that was quite a show i must say".

"glad you enjoyed it now go and stop Aria from making a big mistake, if you want that child." ,

"where is she??" he asked.

"at the city hospital with the gynaecologist" Callie answered. Devon did not speak any further and walked away from them towards his car, soon it disappeared fast away from the company premises.

Callie was left confused, she thought that Devon would be a proud arrogant man but however he seemed far from that, he looked calm and did not even return any bad words she said to him. what kind of a man was he? his silence could kill one easily, now she understood why Aria was nervous when talking about her baby's father. Devon and the other three men where handsome it felt wrong looking at them only now did she realise that. some people are truly born lucky, blessed with money and good looks too.

"come on Callie lets leave before they come back"

"yes, lets go find Aria".

they got in their car and drove off to the City hospital.

Aria left the doctors office feeling weak and tired, the fatigue of not sleeping the whole night finally caught up to her, all she wanted to do was close her eyes and rest, her body felt exhausted. the appointment was over, she felt as though she would pass out , everything seemed to be spinning around her. She decided to sit on the stair case outside just to rest for a while. Closing her eyes, she put her hand on her knees and the other on her stomach. "You are making mommy tired" she smiled. Never in her entire life did she think she would get to call herself "mommy".

last night Aria had decided to keep her pregnancy. Seeing Devon reject her like that made her heart break for the life inside her , both its parents didn't want it. she felt as though she had rejected her pregnancy too and run away from it. It was in her and growing by the day. Aria pushed all the negative thoughts she had about the pregnancy from her head. She questioned herself what are the dreams she was trying to protect ?? in the end she realised that all she ever wanted was to be happy and to be loved. Not to be rich or be successful but to have someone by your side for the rest of your life, her baby would be more than that. Her baby would love her forever, her baby will be there for her through it all. Even if she cant give it the world, Aria would give her child her heart and her everything. It did not matter how it was conceived . What mattered was that she would one day have someone to hold, someone to teach how to dance, someone to laugh with and someone to cry with this baby was not a mistake to her this baby was a gift, her own personal treasure."Its me and you against the world." she said with her eyes on her stomach. Aria wanted to be both a mother and a father for her child. this baby was going to be hers and hers alone never did she want to see Devon Presley in her life.

She sat there thinking about all these things, how would she tell her father. She did not know. Aria knew he would angry but sooner or later he will come around. How angry can he be when he will have grandchild. she thought.

"Did you go through with it.??" a husky voice jolted her back to reality, she was deep in thought and did not see a man dressed in black standing at the bottom of the stair case with guards behind him, Aria wondered what type of a man he was and why was being protected so much.

He started walking up the stairs to where she was seated. .

"you...what are you doing here" she asked Devon seeing him looking at her with those deep brown eyes of his. Aria held her breath. Why was he here.

"Did you terminate it??" He kept on walking forward to her.

how did Devon know she once wanted to terminate the pregnancy the only person who knew was "Callie" could she have told him? but how?

"that is non of your business...why are you here" she got up and started stepping up the stairs. Away from him. She did not stop until there was a great distance between them. "Aria!!!!!" That was the first time he called her name and of course it was full of anger.

"Mr Presley ...you don't have any business being here, i need to leave" she wanted to go but his men were blocking the path down.

he moved to her and she stepped back once again. a car stopped at the front too, Meredith and Callie came out of it, Aria was confused as to what was going on. "Meredith...Callie" she said their names in a low tone, did they inform Devon about her coming here.

Callie hoped they did not arrive late, she and Meredith stood watching the scene in front of them not knowing what to do. She walked towards Aria and Meredith followed .

Meredith thought she was in a drama series or something how can Aria make everyone run around the city like it was a rat race.

"Aria....did ..you?"

"Callie... what is going on here why ..." she looked at Devon and continued" why is he here"

Devon had enough of this nonsense. His day had been ruined,no not his day his entire week. First he was having problems with his work and his business but also his career then she showed up and told him she was pregnant out of the blue, if that wasn't enough her friends caused such a scene at his family's company that could very well ruin his reputation and she was asking why he was here after the damage she caused. He was more than mad.

He went up the stairs and grabbed her by the hand pulling her to himself. there body so close to each other. "Hey...what are you doing" she asked but he ignored her and dragged her towards his car. "Let me go!!!!!" She continued yelling.

Aria did not know what Devon wanted. what did Callie tell him to make him look for her. She could tell he was mad. "Callie....Meredith" she called to her friends wanting their help.

Callie wanted to tell Devon to leave Aria alone but Meredith stopped her.

"Enough Callie ....let them talk this is between the two of them. we will wait for her at school i don't think he will do anything to her. If so we will cause more trouble for him"

Meredith said. Callie was still nervous and anxiously waiting to know Aria's decision. "Lets go back now" they left.

Devon made Aria get in his forcefully she was still weak and did not have enough strength to fight back. he made her seat in the back and sat next to her while the driver drove out of the City hospital.

"Mr Presley. Let me out of this car right now!!" she demanded. He did not even look at her Devon was busy typing something on his phone. "Devon!!!!" she called his name too and he looked at her once then went back to typing of his phone.

"I will scream and have you arrested for kidnapping" she threatened him.

The car was moving really fast Aria could not take it anymore. She held her hands on her mouth fighting the urge to throw up. The intensity only grew.

Devon stopped asking her whether she terminated her pregnancy or not. He was going to find out everything soon. He however noticed she went quiet and stopped yelling. He looked at her only to find her holding onto her mouth and her face looking awfully pale . In the next second, she bent over down and vomited on the carpet in the car. Some even got on his shoes.

He looked at her surprised. Devon did not know what to say or do. He was confused. "Why didn't you say you wanted to throw up " he asked her looking at the mess on the car floor. "I told you to let me go" Aria said still feeling more dizzy. "Stop the car." He told his driver. Devon opened the door when the car stopped walked over to Aria's side and opened her door too. She was having a hard time maintaining rationality. He helped her out got her bag and led her to another car that was following behind them. The car had his personal security." get some water" he told one of his guards.

Aria took the bottle with water and rinsed her mouth "I want to go back " she told him again he ignored her words ,forced her into another car and cleaned his shoes.

Devon was deep down hoping she did not terminate the pregnancy not because he was happy to be a father but because he was not an irresponsible man. Yesterday when she left he thought she was lying about the whole pregnancy thing just to get his money. But today looking at her current state he knew she did not lie she was really pregnant . Devon would never shy away from what's his , only one thing was left. He needed to know if he was the father. If he was he would accept this child if not he would make her life miserable for seeking attention in that manner. No matter who they where if they crossed him, he would make them pay dearly with everything they had. He did not feel compassion for Aria not even sympathy . all he knew was that her arrival in his life was a huge mistake, he should have walked away the minute he looked into her eyes on that rainy night. When he saw her tears. they shook him , he took her in from the rain and away from those men. He knew she was different from everyone he had ever met, she was not a bad person but she was dangerous in her own way.

Devon wanted nothing more than to hate her, if he did not feel hatred for her he did not know what his heart would make him feel. On that morning after making love to her. she was still sleeping in his bed while he woke up and watched her sleeping face he thought she was beautiful with her fire like hair spread across the pillow and tiny freckles . He lied to her, it wasn't just s*x. He felt something more , something that scared him, he realised she did not belong in his world . So he walked out and left. Until she showed up at his pent house. He knew then that he had found a good reason to hate her. Before that day he Wanted to hate her because she was too good and now he hated her because she had done something that affected his career and his image. Getting pregnant was something he would never forgive her for. as long as he had hatred for her he knew he would never love her.
