Chapter 25
* Marvy’s Pov *
I raised my head slowly, watching Tyler walk out of the ward angrily. I turned to Mr Bills. ” Sir.. ” I called slowly and on hearing my voice, he turned to me immediately. ” Hey.. are you okay? ” He asked and I nodded with a smile.
” Um.. Tyler.. ” I pointed at the way Tyler took out but he only smiled at me. ” It’s fine. He can’t stay mad at me for long and don’t worry okay? Everything would be fine ” He assured and I nodded slowly with a little smile while he patted my hair slowly.
” When are we leaving for home? ” I asked him and his face lighted up in realization.
” Yeah, that’s true. I should go ask the doc ” He said and I nodded. He stood up and with that, walked out of the ward I was.
I let out a little sigh also lay back on the bed.” I’m tired ” I muttered mentally as a tear found its way down my cheeks. I caused this to myself anyways.
** Home ( The Bill’s Mansion )
We finally got home and slowly, dragging my feet.. I walked in.
The very first person my gaze met with was Mrs Bills, she seemed indifferent as she only looked away. I was expecting that anyways.
” Marvy.. you should go to your room and ensure you have enough rest ” Mr Bills said behind me and I nodded.
” And you.. ” He called a maid.
” Tell Tyler to meet me downstairs ” He ordered and the maid nodded before hurrying off.
I dragged my feet once again as I continued my journey to the stairs.
I got to the balcony and making my way to my room and I caught a glimpse of Tyler walking out of his room with his headphones on. He had a cold look on and without sparing me a glance, he headed down the stairs.
I wasn’t bothered anyways as I pushed my door opened and walked in.
I headed to the bathroom first and checked out my self, the first thing I noticed was I was getting leaner. I know I haven’t been eating well but this is too much.. it was like I was battling with a sickness and instantly I hated how I looked.
Gosh, what’s happening to me. The doctor had told me my mental health was at stake and it was as a result of me thinking too much.
But can I stop thinking? Not when it feels like my life makes no sense anymore.
I should stop saying that too, that would only want to make me think about things again. But seriously, I hope my mom doesn’t visit anytime soon to see me like this, else she might flare up.
I laid gently on the bed, sarcastically I didn’t want to jump on the bed like one of my childplays because of Amelia, I’m scared of losing her especially after the doctor said her life might be at stake if I keep on with brooding.
All these trials I’m enduring and going through is because of her, I can’t lose her. Even if Tyler doesn’t want me.. I mustn’t lose her.
My hands rubbed gently on my tummy in a sync as I imagined me stroking Amelia’s little face.
” I love you baby, please hang on ” I muttered and shut my eyelids and before I knew it, I slept off.

I felt a cold hands tap me gently and my eyes sprang open not because I was wondering whom it was, but the hands.. they’re really cold.
My gaze met with a maid before me. She bowed lightly immediately she saw my gaze on her. ” You should come downstairs for dinner miss ” She said and I nodded slowly.
With that, I watched as she walked out of my room. Gosh, that was weird. My hands rubbed my chest as I calmed my nerves down.
I was finally out of bed and heading downstairs by now. The family seemed to be engrossed in a conversation as they ate their dinner and I quietly sat down without making any noise.
They really didn’t notice me but I know for sure Tyler did but he decided to ignore me.
Great! Really great! I shouldn’t care anyways. If I want to be at peace in this house, one thing I should do is take Tyler out of my head for now. I don’t really need him.
I should talk to mom about that, I don’t need Tyler to love me, once I deliver, I’m out of here then I can go continue schooling since no one would know a thing. That’s all I have in mind.
I didn’t know I had gone lost in my thoughts until I felt a cold hands on my hand. I jerked and turned sideways, It was Tyler. He only looked away and I turned my face to Mr Bills, he had a confused look on.
” Are you okay Marvy? I had called you severally and you weren’t answering. Are you okay? ” He asked and I nodded immediately with a little smile.
” Yeah. I’m fine sir ” I muttered passing a nervous smile and he nodded. ” So.. ” He turned to Tyler who wasn’t looking up.
” Tyler.. ” He called and Tyler looked up at him. ” Since you’re aware now the reason why Marvy is here.. ”
” Dad! Can we not talk about this! Please.. ” Tyler cut his dad off. ” Tyler! I thought we talked about this! ”
” And I said he wasn’t interested! I don’t wanna get married to anyone, especially her! ” Tyler snapped. ” Why!? Give me on good reason why you can’t! ”
” Dad, I don’t like her! Not even a bit and why should I even get married to her! Why are you trying to force me to! I don’t like her.. and I’m just 18, I can’t take care of myself not to talk of having a family! Dad.. I can’t.. ”
” Tyler! You’re getting married to her and that’s final! ” Mr Bills cut him off sternly.
All these while, I only sat down as little uncontrollably tears streamed down my face.
” Dad! Why do you want me for her! I don’t like her! She’s not someone I could ever pick interest in! It can’t work.. stop trying to force her on me! ” Tyler said getting angry.
” Tyler.. I won’t.. ”
He was interrupted as I stood up and my chair made some noise as it dragged, making way for me. Without saying a word, I walked out of the dinning room wiping my tears along with my sleeves ad I hurried off to the tears.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
I rushed to my room and pushed the door open and closing it with a loud bang, I burst into tears. I can’t do this! I can’t! I sobbed loudly.
