Pregnancy

Having heard the question from Evelyn, Matt was mute he didn't know what happened to her. Seeing her in a pathetic situation and considering herself to have been crushed by a car made it harder for him to ask. He brought her home but didn't question why she was sad and clumpy. He glanced at Clementine and their eyes locked.

Clementine lowered her head and her tears came afresh. Matthew was astonished asking himself why she still sobbed after a week, that means it might be worse experience she'd encountered. Evelyn regretted asking her. She should have waited more. She doesn't want to make her feel bad.

"You don't have to say anything to her Clementine, I'm so sorry she asked you out of your convenience," Matthew said looking at Evelyn who had given up on hearing Clementine's side of the story.

Clementine sniffed and deliberately told them all that she encountered this pass few days, how she found herself in a strange man arms and to the calling off of her engagement. When the two lovers heard her story they pitied her nodding their heads in astonishment.

Evelyn shedded a few drops of tears to her fiance's friend pathetic situation. She fell really bad for her, how can someone be cruel to her own daughter simply because he has another family feeding him with lies.

"How is it my fault that my mom decided to give birth instead of tarnishing me? am I to be blamed for my dad's infidelity? am I to be blamed for them framing my mom of having me to another man? am I at fault that my mom is nowhere to be found?

I am bearing the burnt of my irresponsible dad's infidelity. If my mom was here, I would have been able to be more stronger and I wouldn't have ended up as a bait to some business collaboration and I would have still remained intact," Clementine explained.

Matthew remained silent imagining how she'd suffered and abused. Her forced engagement ended shamefully paving way to her step sister. Upon all the men in the world it's David she had interest on. What a cruel world. Where would she have gone if she hadn't missed her step and meet up Matthew. No wonder she said she don't know where to go.

"We aren't rich unlike you but be rest assured you have us as your family, you can stay till you get up to your feet. You have to be strong and determine to live your life to yourself not to please anyone anymore. Don't let their wickedness got to you." Evelyn assured. Matthew gave her a warm hugged reminding her of better days.

That way Clementine lived with her friend and fiance for a month.

David Collins sent men everywhere to look for Clem. She has been gone for a month and was nowhere to be found. He wants to compensate her for the damages he caused her. He didn't hate her or intend to do such wickedness to her but he was just following the script. He was acting according to Vaniel's plans. He just wants to offer her something to start up a livelihood.

But he searched everywhere but they was no traces of her. Her ex best friend Sarah couldn't find her, his men couldn't find her either and he was really worried about her. Hope she hasn't done anything bad to herself or has she travelled out of the city? David became so angry having mood swings for days.

Vaniel noticed her husband. What is wrong with him? what is eating him up? why such mood lately? was he worried about Clementine? is he missing her already? no he doesn't like her and they've not gotten intimate. If he liked her then why did he married her instead?

While they were still together preparing to get married he was already sleeping with Vaniel. They got entangled everywhere and anywhere. Poor Clem was thinking she's soon to be Mrs Collins. She was his fiance but only to be disposed as piece of rags.

She decided to ask David what had gone wrong and he replied harshly that he was worried because he haven't heard any feedback from the client their company sent proposal to. He lied bluntly. Veniel sighed in relieve. He can't possibly missed someone he haven't gotten a thing for. She held her hands kissed him softly and assured him everything will be alright.

She told him the company would send a reminder to the client incase they've forgotten and then awaits their response. David faked a smile praising her of her capabilities. She's so brilliant. They made up afterwards and the rhythm of their moans filled the whole place.

Evelyn was able to secure a job for clementine in her company. The way she treats Clems is as if they've known each other for years. The bold between them grew more stronger than that of Matts with Clems. She welcomed her wholeheartedly making sure she's comfortable. She was to resume the coming week but Clementine observed changes in her body and she's late for her period that month. There seems to be a delay for two weeks now.

She has thoroughly suspected her body to change because of her unusual cravings lately. During those crises she was so emotional that she forgot to take contraceptive.

Since Sarah, David and Veniel paid a hooker to have her, wouldn't they have advised him to use control measures rather than leaving a scar on her.

Were they not afraid he might be a deadly disease carrier? or they don't just care about her well being.

When Evelyn left to work, Clementine and Matthew decided to visit the hospital. They went to the one nearly and Clementine asked to run a pregnancy test for her.

Clementine waited for as long as she could imagine and it's seems she'll be waiting till forever. She kept asking herself why it was taking so long to perform the test. Clementine in her downcast mood question their competency.

When the doctor finally invited them to his office, he gave the report to Matthew shaking his hand.

"Mr Matthew, Ms. Clementine, the pregnancy test are in. Congratulations you're going to be parents." The doctor smiled as he delivered the news.

Matthew receiving the congratulations looked shocked. Earlier she told him she was sick and needs to run a test but didn't mention the exact test. Clementine was petrified.

"Doctor, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Matthew asked suppressing his anger for the Wat's family while Clementine caressed her stomach, her pale face flushed in embarrassment.

The doctor seemed to notice something was off and replied cautiously that their hospital doesn't make mistakes. Indeed Clementine was pregnant. The doctor observed her shivering hands and knew all wasn't well. Being in the system for long he has seen a lot of women in that situation and one thing is sure. Women who suddenly sweat under the air conditioner when they offer a pregnancy test results are those who got pregnant illegitimately.
