” Trust me my parents will like you very much, especially my mother. She’s excited to meet you. Ever since I told them about you, she has been insisting they come home to meet their daughter in law.” David said, his words sounded sincere and Ava believed him. She will have to look for a Way to make her in-laws like her.
Sunday arrived. It was the day the girls had agreed to meet up and catch up. It has been two months since the last time they met. Stacy was finally back in the country. Lucia was still preparing for the Summer fashion launch but everything had been taken care of. The only remaining thing was to send invitations to their guests. Ava was free as well as Miranda since now she could walk freely without being afraid of crazy fans ambushing her.
After contemplation, they decided to meet at Miranda’s house. That was because Miranda was strictly warned by Justin that she can only stay at his watch when with her crazy friends as he called them. Miranda could only agree to his arrangements and talk them into accepting to meet at Justin’s house. The house was big enough to accommodate more than ten people. One by One, the girls started arriving before noon but two of them surprised the remaining two. Ava and Stacy came accompanied by a man each.
Coincidentally, the two pairs arrived together making Miranda and Lucia who were earlier to look at them with questioning eyes. Stacy could only shrug her shoulders. Frustration could be seen written all over her face. Ava on the other hand introduced Ronald as her boyfriend catching the others off guard. Lucia glared at her and Ava could only say sorry to the girls. Stec Was sorry for not informing them that she already had a boyfriend but that was not her fault. They were all very busy to listen to her gossip. While the atmosphere remained tense, Justin walked down the stairs and went straight to Miranda’s side pulling her into his arms. Now it was Miranda’s turn to receive questioning looks from her friends and sfe remained speechless. She didn’t know what to say.
” Does this mean that I am no longer needed in this place as a single dog?” Lucia asked, her voice laced with sarcasm.
” Single? How could you be so heartless? Do you plan to keep me as your gigolo then?” A clear crispy manly voice echoed in the room causing the seven people In the room to turn and look at the approaching man whose face had turned sour from hearing Lucia’s words.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
” Kiel? Why are you here?” Lucia asked after recovering from her momentary shock.
” Why am I here? If I didn’t come, how could I know that I mean nothing in your life?” He asked back but you could hear the hate as well as sadness in his voice.
” What is going on here Lucia?” The ever curious Ava inquired and Lucia just shrugged her shoulders.
” What’s going on here? I’ll tell you.” The man earlier called Kiel by Lucia started but was interrupted by Lucia before he could say anything more.
” We already agreed on the terms of our agreement, Kiel.” Lucia warned him sternly.
” Yes we did but I never promised to abide by them nor did we sign a non disclosure agreement.” The man retorted, his veins bulging. One look at him and you could tell that he was angry.
” But I have always kept my end of the deal.” Lucia said helplessly with a defeated tone.
” Really? Then tell me when you were going to tell me that you are pregnant with baby Lucia. Were you waiting until you aborted the baby? Huh?” He asked and strode towards where Lucia was standing. At this point, the room fell silent. One could hear the sound of a grain of rice falling down. To say that Lucia was shocked was an understatement, she stood frozen in place. Her mind could not process anything. He knew! He fucking knew her secret! She had thought she had hidden it from him so well so just how did he get to know? She was sure that apart from the doctor nobody else knew about her pregnancy. She had gone to the hospital to book an appointment to get rid of the baby. The operation was in two days time and then the nightmare that has been ploughing her brains will be handled. She couldn’t let anyone know that she was pregnant. Not when her father had already arranged a marriage for her. Lucia was sure that if news of her pregnancy reached her father’s ears, she would be as good as dead. The same goes to the father of the child. That was why she took the decision to be a killer and save her poor child from criticism and him From being hunted down like a criminal.
Thinking about all this, big fat tears rolled down her cheeks and she started sobbing. Seeing her tears, Kiel regretted saying those harsh words to her. He knew she was in a tight spot but he couldn’t erase the pain of knowing that she almost killed their baby and that too without informing him.
” Am sorry baby, please don’t cry.. am sorry please I didn’t mean to make you feel bad.” He said, hugging her tightly in his arms. Lucia didn’t stop crying, on the contrary she sobbed harder. His comforting words were what she had been yearning for the past few days.
” Shhh… Please don’t do this baby.. it hurts to see you cry like this.” Kiel said, comforting her.
