Weeks past like hours and it was already a month. JoJo and Jasmine resumed school, their naggings didn't seize as it only intensified each hour they spent together.
"Mummy Jasmine kidnapped Pepe!" JoJo rushed out of her room with tears in her eyes. Just like every other troublesome day in the Willan's mansion, the little girl had run out of her room in range.
Children often brought happiness, but could be the most annoying beings on earth when they fight. Bella didn't have much to say to them as she's been feeling wierd herself lately.
She had alot on her mind and it was better she didn't get close to them so as not to miss them much when she leaves. With Antonio who was on a business trip for two weeks now, it was easy to forget him also.
"Your sister's not a kidnapper Jasmine. Tell penny to search your room for your toy!" Bella said lazily.
"I've asked her to do that. We've searched the entire room and we found nothing!" "Jasmine's a bully, she kidnapped my Pepe!" JoJo walked into her room angrily. Bella sighed.
"Edmund get me an orange juice and prepare a car I need to go out!" "Yes madam!" The butler went ahead to his work.
"You didn't tell us Melissa was related to your husband Lily?" Tina stared at her friend in disbelief. "I was shocked too!" The two women laughed. They stared at their friend who seemed lost in her thoughts.
Tina and Lily gave themselves a knowing look and turned to Bella. "You, are you alright?" Lily asked. She just got back from her country to visit her husband who seemed so busy in these country.
Who would believe the man she met that night will change her life forever. "Antonio wants a wedding ceremony!" Bella said mindlessly. "That's not a problem, you can still get married if that's what he wants!" Tina said with a smile.
"I... I think I'm pregnant!" Bella blurted out for the girls to choke with their drink. "Pregnant!" Tina and Lily whispered at once. They were agape and dumbstruck as they stared at their friend. "Don't tell me you didn't take the morning after pill?" Tina asked.
"I don't know.... We were on vacation and then after that we kept on meeting. I took the pills every morning after sex, I don't understand how i'ld get pregnant still!" " I've just missed my monthly visitor for this month!" Bella said. "I'm scared, I don't want to get pregnant....!" She panicked cleaning the little tear drops from her eyes.
"Calm down.... We'd do something about this, right Tina?" Lily gave a smile for Tina to smile back. "U... Um... Of course, something can be done!"
"What do I do if I get pregnant?" She sobbed "No no no, don't cry, we don't know for sure if you're really pregnant!" She had thought getting pregnant for Antonio was the best, but right now she was scared.
Scared that he might find out the truth about her faking his real wife's identity. She didn't know what to do, not after the threats Lilo made and even included her mother, Viviana.
Bella could recall what had happened that day vividly. Lilo was meant to return soon with the help of her mother now. Everyday she gets threat messages from the woman. She can't get pregnant now, her life cannot be ruined.
"Finally we meet again Bella!" Lilo walked into the wash room when she saw the girl walk in. "Lilo!" Bella was not surprised to see her.
"You've been ignoring my calls!" Lilo got furious when she saw Bella walk into the building with Antonio.
She was sidelined as everyone praised the girl, she had to run away from everyone, so no one would notice anything. Ruth tried exposing her but could not find her anywhere.
She hid from everyone and let Bella take the glory. It would have been better if they were in a different country, but now they were in the same room. A room that seemed suffocating.
"I needed peace of mind, each call you make is to threaten me!" Bella stated staring at her.
While everyone left Lily's wedding happy, Bella left with heavy heart. Lilo's mother had caught them and she wanted her out of Antonio's life in less than a month.
The month is already over for her to leave Antonio, his family, her friends and everyone she knew. She's yet to tell Tina and Lily about this. She can't get pregnant for Antonio, not now, not like this.
"We have to be sure before we conclude anything hmm!"
