Chapter ２０

I heard he took a sip of coffee first before answering Gregory's question. 

"Well, yes she's almost fine. Her birthday is coming so we were busy preparing it since she's the heiress of Sherlocks Magazine, which should be one of a big party in the business industry." He answered. 

What? Eloisa Is the daughter of Mr.Damian Sherlock? The wealthiest businessman in the country? I startled when a waitress came and ask for my order. 

"Just give me one lemonade. Thanks!" I simply said and ready my ears for their next chatting.

"So how about your mistress Lucy? When are you going to keep her from your wife?" Gregory said.

I felt Kent became silent for five seconds like he's looking for the best answer. 

I took one sip of lemonade and finally, he replied.

" I know this is insane but she's pregnant with our baby. I keep her in the villa until she gave birth." Kent said but I can hear the tension in his voice. 

Meaning he had plans after I gave birth? Is he going to dump me after and take his son with me? I won't allow it. Never. I can't stop my hands from shaking and I don't think I can stay here any longer but if this can make me feel relieved, I must listen to everything they spilled off from their mouth. Everything even it may cause to hurt my feelings.

"So are you going to dump her after? Are you going to get your child? What about the media, if they found out that you had a mistress and a bastard, your business will be at risk!" His friend seems anxious about Kent. 

"I'll take care of it. As long as Lucy shut her mouth, there will be no scandal! I protect my family and our business and we I know Lucy will understand." I can't think well about what Kent said.  My mind can't perform well. I think I heard enough. 

So did he hit me and use me to have a son? Am I not worthy enough to be love? All he thinks is himself and his family. He is protecting Eloisa and he's busy with her birthday that's why he didn't reach me. I tried to control the jiggling of my hands. I took a deep breath and got up from my seat. I went out quickly from the coffee shop and drive my way back to the villa. 

I felt being betrayed again. I thought Kent love me? He told me to take care of everything so maybe I should trust him. I am his first love and I know he still loves me. We had a child soon so I don't have to be worried and scared about Eloisa. I have the ace. 

While I was breathing out to be calm, I felt a warm feeling on my legs. When I looked down to check it, I was mortified to see blood dripping out from my thighs. 

"Ahhh!!!" I screamed in shock until I feel weak and I quickly stumbled on the floor.

One hour later

I smelled the hospital scent when I woke up. Where am I? Did I faint or did something happened? I stretch my eyes open when I remembered what just occurred awhile ago. 

"I'm glad you're awake." My heart pulp to see Kent on my side. It's been five days since we last met.

He looks serious with those eyebrows meeting each other. 

"Did you go out? You almost lost the baby! I told you to take care of our child!" His voice grew louder and I was shocked to hear it. 

I gulp and deterred his gaze. I know it's my fault.

"I'm so sorry. How's our baby? Is everything okay?" I'm worried sick before anything else. 

Kent holds my hands and pressed them gently. He damped his lips on the back of my palm while staring at me calmly.

"He's fine. I'll take you home tomorrow and please stay at the villa until you give birth. Okay?" He told me and I nod my head. 

Maybe I'm too stubborn and sensitive since I am pregnant. From now on, I'll do everything to make him happy.

He left me with a kiss and I bid goodbye to him. I fell asleep again.

Gregory POV

Poor Lucy. I never thought that a smart girl like her fell in love with that scumbag. 

I wonder what Kent did to her that she was head over heels to him. If she only knew what kind of monster is he, maybe she will curse him to death. 

I saw Kent going out of the hospital so I quickly get inside to meet with Lucy. It's time to warn her. 

I peek at her behind the door and she's sleeping soundly. I bought a bouquet for her but maybe she won't know that I was the one who left it. I walked inside and place the flowers on the table. I hope she likes it. I can be a good boyfriend if she accepts my proposal and leaves Kent to Eloisa besides both of them are evil.
