Pregnant
2 Months later…..
Lotus P. O. V
It’s been 2 months since my marriage and divorce from George. I tried many times in these 2 months to talk with him or my family but none of them gave me any chance. I don’t remember what happened that night exactly but I was sure I lost my virginity that night also to a stranger. As George was with my family so there is no chance that he was with me. I tried to figure out what happened that night but my father didn’t leave any way for that. He didn’t want to spoil his reputation so instead of investigating the matter he chose to disown me. Currently, I am working in an architectural company as an intern. I am living in a rental apartment away from all of them. I was working in my office when I got a call from reception.
“Hello Lotus Kent here”
“Hey, Lotus there is a visitor here who wants to see you.”
“What is his name?”
“She said she is your sister. Her name is Lilly Kent.”
“Ok sent her to my office.”
I was waiting eagerly for my sister. Maybe she came here to give me some good news. Maybe dad sent her to call me back home. I was thinking about every possibility when my sister entered my office room and closed the door behind her.
“Hey sis how are you?” she asked me while sitting on the chair In front of me.
“You know very well how am I doing?” I replied to her coldly.
“Do you know Lotus how much I and mom used to hate you? My mother was so beautiful and capable still she was always compared to your dead mother. And I was always told to follow your path. Now see what happened to you. You are dead to dad just like your mother.” I was shocked hearing her words. I never knew that they both had so much hatred for me. I couldn’t find any words to reply to her. She continued her venomous words.
” I always envied you from childhood. Everything I wanted, you got them without even wanting them. I loved George from the first day but he fell in love with you. Guess what? At last, he fell for me. We have been having an affair behind you for the last 5 years.”
“Are you drunk Lilly? How can you say those words against George?” I stopped her middle way.
“I’m not drunk and neither I’m telling any lie. He is not as loyal as you think. He’s been sleeping with different girls as you are a good girl and didn’t give him what he always wanted. So I gave him what he wanted. We were sleeping together for the last five years. He loved my body but still, he decided to marry you for your innocence. And you did the same thing to him,” she gave a devilish grin. It was hard for me to take all these words at a time. She took out an invitation card from her purse and forwarded that to me.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“This is the invitation card for my and George’s wedding. Please don’t come. Nobody wishes to see your face,” after saying those words she stood up and went towards the door.
“Wait Lilly, you did that to me. You sent me to another man so that you can throw me out of everyone’s life who loved me,” I asked her while holding her wrist tightly. She got out of my hold and opened the door without any reply. She just gave me a wink and walked away. I ran out of my office room to catch her but suddenly everything became blank before my eyes. Before fainting, I heard my colleague Nancy calling me. Then everything became dark.

I threw the file away from my table out of anger. How can this possibly happen that every security camera in my hotel stopped working at the same time? For the last 2 months, I’m trying to find out what happened that night. Who were in my room but I got nothing? All the security cameras were stopped for 24 hours. No footage of that day has been found. I stood up from my chair and went to the French window of my office. I can see the whole city from here. This view always managed to calm me down. I cannot forget even a second of that night. I want to find that angel. I want to hold her in my arms one more time. I was lost in my thoughts when someone knocked on my office door.
“Come in,” I told without looking at the door.
“Sir I have bad news for you,” my secretary Tom told me from behind me. I turned around and told him with a cold voice.
“For the last 2 months have you been able to give me any good news? Now tell me what you want to say.”
“Sir your father Mr. Robinson had a minor heart attack. He’s been admitted to the hospital,” he said while looking down. I didn’t reply to him. I hurriedly walked past him towards the parking lot.
My stepmother and my sister Emily were sitting in front of the ICU. I walked fast towards them. Ignoring my stepmother I asked my sister about my father’s condition.
“It’s nothing serious, brother. Doctors said that he will be transferred to the general ward tomorrow,” she replied.
“How can you say it’s nothing serious? He had a heart attack. And it’s all because of you,” my stepmother yelled from beside her and accused me of my father’s condition.
“Mom, how can you accuse brother? He didn’t do anything,” Emily replied to her mother.
“All your father wanted to see was you to be settled down with someone and you didn’t listen to him. That’s why he had an attack,” said Nina my stepmother.
Just then the doctor came out of the ICU and said to me with a concerned face.
“Mr. Peter your dad wants to see you. And please remember not to do anything that makes him anxious,” I just nodded at him and entered the ICU.
My dad was lying on the bed while a lot of wires were attached to his body. I walked slowly to him and hold his hand carefully.
“Dad, how are you feeling?”I asked him.
” I can’t feel better until I see you are settled with someone,” he said with difficulty. I inhaled a sharp breath and replied to him.
“Okay dad, ask Nina to arrange my engagement with whoever you want. But I need time for marriage. Will an engagement help you to be happy?” I asked him.
“Yes, yes engagement will do for now,” dad said with a wide grin. I patted his hand and then left him to take rest.
I was going out of the hospital when I bumped into a stretcher. I looked at the lady who was running towards the emergency room with another unconscious lady on that stretcher. That lady lying on the stretcher looked somehow familiar. But I pushed that thought away. I have a lot to think about right now on my plate. Then I went towards the parking to leave the hospital.

I opened my eyes slowly adjusting the lights in the room. I looked around me only to realize that I was lying in a bed in the middle of a white room. There was a drip attached to my hand. So, I am in a hospital. But what happened to me? The door of the room opened and a middle-aged lady walked in wearing a white apron.
“I am doctor Ann. How are you feeling now dear?” she asked me while checking my vitals.
“I’m feeling okay doc. What happened to me?” I asked her.
“Nothing serious you just fainted. It is common in early pregnancy,” she said with a warm smile.
“Early pregnancy? Do you mean I’m pregnant?” I asked her panicking.
“Yes, you are 8 weeks pregnant. You have to take care of yourself and the baby. Now take a rest. After finishing the drip you can go home,” she said and left the room leaving me in a daze. I was pregnant and I didn’t know who was the father. I hate that night and hate that man for ruining my life. Now I am carrying his child to remember that night forever. No, it can’t be. I don’t want to give birth to this baby.
