Chapter １６

My mind can't think of a good idea right now. I was afraid that Kent will know about this. He can't and I won't let him touch my child. I made a decision. I decided to have this baby. 

I was on my way home when I saw a familiar car in front of my house. It's Kent's car. What the hell is he doing here? 

I parked my car and took a deep breath. He walked out of his car and I saw him frowning at me. He's not in a good mood. I don't care what he wants from me but I am done with him. He betrayed me once and now he did it again but this time it's unforgivable. 

"Why you left so early? You know I lied to my wife because of you!" He shouted at me. 

I can't control my anger anymore. I forcibly slapped him on his face. Red imprints drew on his face. His eyes widened with my sudden action. 

"What the hell is that?" He asked me while cupping his swollen face. I can see the tightness in his jaw. I know he's holding his anger at me. 

The pain I held for many years was in the range too. I can't hold back anymore. 

"You know what, you're the meanest person I met in my life! Your stone-hearted and irresponsible!" I yelled at him while holding my tears. 

"I wish I didn't meet you!" I said and walked without even staring at him. I'm done with him. 

I was on my way when he harshly grabs my arms and pulled him closer. I can smell his mint scent and it made me weaker again. 

"Please, let go of me!" I tried to act tougher but he won when his lips forcibly smashed mine. It's deep and compelling. His kiss means everything to me. He can control me with it.

He stops and falls out staying on his face an inches away from me. I can hear him breathing deeply. I felt droplets of tears in my hands. Is he crying? God!

" I know what you're going through! Let me take care of everything!" He murmured in my ears. 

I quickly pushed him away. I don't know what he's talking about. I wipe the tears from my face. I have to be strong for my baby. I won't let him hurt me again. 

"What do you know about me? You don't know what I've been through when you left me after graduation!" I crying. 

He looks speechless. Maybe I stomp his ego. I didn't even mention the fact that his wife was Eloisa, my best friend. I thought he's pissed about her. I thought he doesn't like her but to know that they both betrayed me, I was like a 100% fool. 

"Im so sorry but it's all in the past! Now we met again. You told me you're willing to do even becoming my mistress then why you're being picky now?" He told me like it's my fault. 

I went inside and he followed me. 

He shut the door behind us. I felt nervous about this. He doesn't know yet so I guess it's for the best for both of us not to tell him about my pregnancy. I am planning to leave this place. 

"Can we talk? Did you check my phone? Did you say something?" How dare he asked me when he already knew. 

" Just go! We're done. I'll resign!" I said but he went closer and told me something I didn't expect him to know. 

" I know you're pregnant! I followed you in the hospital!" After hearing him my body froze. 

My eyes stare at him with shock. Why I didn't saw him there? 

"What? You know I went there?" I asked him again. 

He holds my hands and begs for me not to leave him. He also told me not to cause any trouble or else this will going to be a scandal in his family. At times like this, he still thinks of himself. He's still selfish. I push his hands away. I glared at him. 

"I need time. Please, don't waste your time coming here? I want---" I didn't finish my line when my head suddenly throbs. My eyes became blurry and my stomach is in pain again. 

"Are you okay? Lucy, wake up!" The only voice I heard before I lost my consciousness.

Eloisa POV

It's seven in the morning but Kent wasn't home yet. I got up from my bed and making my way to the bathroom. I can't keep being sick anymore. What if Kent was doing it to that woman? What if he falls in love with Lucy? He must do as I say or else his father's company and he will go bankrupt again. I called Anna to bring me a cup of tea. I wanted to calm myself while waiting for him to come home. Am I a fool to him? I know what he and that bitch doing inside the villa.
