Chapter 44 Three weeks gone
THIRD PERSON’S POV
Lisa sat down on the sofa with her phone, she kept giggling each time a message popped up and it seemed like she was really happy.
Then she heard a knock just when she was about to call him, she stood up to open the door but remembered what Johnny had told her earlier.
” Be careful, my father has eyes everywhere. If he gets to find out what’s going on, you might be in danger “. She paused when she had gotten to the door.
” Who’s that ? “Lisa asked, her voice loud, thou a bit shaky and instilled with a little amount of fear.
When she asked the question, she got no reply from the person. Only then did she guess that he wasn’t the one.
Few seconds later, she heard his voice.
” It’s me Lisa “. She cleared her throat and the sound of his voice made her heart beat normal again.
She wasn’t doing anything wrong seeing Johnny but why was she being scared. The only things he told her was that they needed to keep it a secret for the main time.
” Sorry I scared you, I wanted to check if I was being followed”. Johnny said when she opened the door and he walked in.
” So, any luck ? I told my father we have everything under control, has he called you or anything? “. He asked bothered about what his father might do, especially when he gets to find out.
Lisa sadly shook her head and looked down.
” Let’s give him more time, maybe two more days would be enough. It’s only normal to take time making this type of decision, he might be a bit calm since you guys haven’t threatened him for a while now, but I know Gray. Eventually he’ll come. Am sure that bitch might be the reason behind his delay, but he’ll come, at least let’s have hope that he will” she replied holding his hands.
Johnny leaned closer to her and placed his hands on her hair
” We can’t see often for now, I have a feeling my dad suspect’s something. Don’t worry , it might be hard now but when all these is over it’ll be easier than you think maybe if I talk to him “.
She nodded and hugged him tight.
” I’ll wait, as long as you’re still right here with me, and we’re still together, I can wait .”Lisa replied.
” So what happens after he meets up with me, what are you planning on doing next ?” A curious Lisa asked.
” You just have to make him believe one of his closest Mafia friend is doing all this to him, and turn them against each other. Then, we plan on offering such a person our help when that happens. Right now, we’re in search and on the lookout for a trusted one of his “. He replied
Lisa was dumbfounded hearing such.
” Why not win over the trust of his best friend Collins, that’s gonna be a perfect way of getting to him faster. Since Collins is someone who knows every single thing and details about Gray, it’ll be easier for us to get all this done in less than a day ”
” I don’t think it’s possible to get that done, we kept a close eye on him for days and it seems like he’s a tough one. We might not really need him to succeed and besides my dad wishes to kill every single souls he ever cares about.”
” It’s less than a week before all this ends once and for all, and I haven’t forgotten what I promised you. I want you to stay back on that day, just incase anything goes wrong you’ll be safe and sound. But if everything goes as planned, I’ll have you kill the one you wish you kill yourself” Johnny said
Lisa eyes widened” really? I didn’t expect you’d remember that. But can’t I come I won’t be at the spot, but I’ll be close by at least” She asked and gave him a puppy eyes he couldn’t resist.
Johnny wasn’t always like this till the moment he met Lisa, he had always been the tough guy who hardly cares about anything other than to do exactly what his father tells him to do. But lately, he had changed drastically all because of her, and that change made him feel brand new. he had always been a shadow to his brother and maybe his father cared less about him that no matter what he did, he never seems to get his father’s praises and smiles.
He might be a bad guy who kills under the wish of his father, a villan who doesn’t deserve to keep living, but he had the believe that even villans also experience love and affection.
LUNA’S POV
” Come home early okay, don’t forget you still have a lot to teach and guide me on .”I said standing beside Gray, while helping him fix his tie properly.
He nodded and when I was done, kissed me lightly and walked out of the room.
I took in a deep breath and found my way to the bed staggering and feeling dizzy.
I was thankful Gray had left just in time. O really thought I was done with the fever, so why the hell is it back.
Maybe Gray was right, I really need to get my ass down to an hospital and check exactly what’s wrong.
I wasn’t planning on letting Gray know either, else he’d be too worried to let me continue training and have me sit at home that day.
I was sure I wasn’t sick, but I had this feels something else is probably wrong with me.
I rested on the bed for about an hour bedroom getting up and staggering to the bathroom.
I wanted to end my suspicion once and for all by going to an hospital.
I grabbed my handbag after I was done dressing up into a long yellow gown which wasn’t too tight thereby giving me enough freedom to walk.
I walked towards the garage and picked a red car after taking a look at all the cars being parked, but because I had exceptional love for that particular red car, I had to take it with me instead.
It wasn’t all that fancy, but I liked it best, since it wasn’t the cat hated the most, I decided to make it mine and show it love among other.
Funny enough, I can’t believe I wasn’t actually doing that .
To me, it really felt like a long journey. One that I wanted to come to an end quickly as I was eager to know if my suspicions were right.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
I didn’t want it to be, I would be in a big mess if it was.
As I finally got to the hospital I stepped down from my car and closed my eyes a bit trying not to think about it. It might not be what I think it is, but what if it is .
I walked in and demanded to see a doctor. My looks and my outfits especially my bag were no joke.
Well it’s all thanks to Gray, who never buys me cheap things but rather super expensive and latest brand.
Though I felt uncomfortable with all the looks and eyes trying to swallow me up, but I had to act cool like I didn’t even notice
I wasn’t even being delayed a bit as I was being escorted to the doctor’s office.
After explaining how I felt for some days and how I had been feeling some hours ago, the doctor kept quiet for a little while making me more nervous.
” Alright, to be sure, I’ll take a blood test and ….”
” And what? “She couldn’t complete her statement when I cut in
” Pregnancy test ” She concluded.
” Pre…. pregnancy test? ” I asked and she nodded standing up.
” Follow me, and if it’s really urgent we’ll have the results out in a couple of hours “.
I nodded and stood up to follow her with a silent prayer that it wouldn’t be pregnancy.
I winced in pain as a little portion of my blood was being drawn from my arm. It wasn’t too painful but still I felt something.
After caressing my arm, I was told to take a quick rest since the results would be out in an hour time or less.
I slowly took off my shoes and laid on the bed, facing the ceiling.
What would really happen if I’m pregnant. Am I really ready to be a mother? I don’t think I am, at least not yet.
Bringing a child into this world when I and Gray aren’t even safe yet. It would be hell if Gray has another soul he wishes to protect from his enemies and rivals.
If Gray finds out that I’m pregnant, he would never risk me doing something dangerous. At least for the protection of our child.
A confused and scared me just laid on the bed thinking of what to do.
I badly wanted to make the right decision, to choose between keeping my baby and I safe , or watching over Gray and lending a helping hand to him.
I didn’t even realize I had been thinking for over an hour when I felt a light tap on my arm.
I blinked my eyes and turned side ways to look at the nurse standing right in front of me.
The doctor walked in immediately.
” May I see you in my office please?”She said .
I stood up from the bed and quickly wore my shoes as I was damn eager to know exactly what it is .
As I walked behind her, I could feel my heart beating twice as normal, super fast.
My legs and arms were shaky and I wished I would just be diagnosed with a fever or cold or something else not too serious expect pregnancy.
We both took a seat in her office, by this time, I was starting to get all sweaty making me pick up an handkerchief from my bad to wipe off the sweats before she would even notice.
The doctor brought out a small paper wrapped in an envelope.
I closed my eyes, but immediately opened them back only to hear the words I didn’t want to hear, at least now in the crucial moment when Gray and I are in danger.
” Congratulations Mrs Luna, you’re three weeks pregnant!.”
” Pre… pregnant?” Her words kept on echoing countless times in my ears.
” I’m pregnant?” I asked while she brought her hand towards me for an handshake.
” Yes you are, and here’s the test results ” She said and handed the envelope over to me which I collected.
” How on earth will I let Gray know about this ? I felt a little bit happy suddenly hearing that I was pregnant because I might not know how to be a mom but I’ll try my best to learn how to love a baby. I and Gray would have a little pearl to protect. But what about what we’re meant to do in less than a week time, we can’t just end it all because of me.
I smiled at the doctor trying to show that I was happy and took her hands .
” Thank you so much ” I replied her .
” Do come over after 6 weeks for your antenatal care okay “She said and I nodded.
I stood up, and gently walked out of her office in silence. when I got out, I leaned my back against the wall and continued thinking.
It’s just three weeks, it isn’t a big deal at all. Maybe I’ll keep it a secret from Gray and tell him after all this is over. At least that’s the best decision I could come up with at the moment.
