Lonely Bride

For a second, his eyes stuck towards my cleavage, but he averted fast before anyone could notice, however I did.

He left the room in a hurry, and I looked at the chameleon.

“What?” I asked innocently when everyone, apart from Alvera and Bella, looked shocked and looked at me as if they had seen some alien.

“I am not a maid,” she whispered in anger.

“Then who are you?” I asked while chewing my food.

She just kept on looking at me as if she wanted to kill me right at this moment, but I know she can’t do anything.

When she did not answer, I looked at everyone and said, “You all are dismissed right at this moment. Leave the work as it is and show yourself.

Have a great day.” I spoke with a smile, and all ran out with a small smile, and I started eating my food, ironing burning lava sitting opposite me.

“Alvera makes sure you don’t leave Bella for a minute, and if I find you doing any work apart from anything related to Bella,” I looked at Camilla. “You will count today as your last day.” She cursed me under her breath, but I heard it anyway.

I knew if I didn’t warn her right now, she would make Alvera do all the work, which I would never let happen.

Getting up from my seat, I walk out and head off for my office.

While reaching the office, I started working, and the workload is really tiring me somehow.

I finished my last video call, and I looked at the time it was showing me: 1. 30 p. m.

I called Nathan, as he was too calm for my liking. He is not even calling me, though Sean has already sent him my number.

I finally called him from my phone, and we had a little chat while he asked me if he was planning to take a stay order on Bella’s adoption as he was the first one to apply for her adoption, so legally Sean has no right to adopt her.

I lay back in my chair while closing my eyes, thinking to take a little rest.

I lay back in my chair while closing my eyes, thinking to take a little rest.

I look up when someone shakes me a little at my shoulder.

Mam, are you alright?” My assistant, Mirabella, spoke, looking at my pale face.

“I am tired, I guess.” I again closed my eyes, and I felt her icy hand on my forehead.

“Mam, I guess you have a fever.” I could hear her worried voice.

Even I felt like I had a fever.

“Should I call the doctor?” She spoke again.

“No, I guess just get me an Advil and I will be fine, I guess,” I said while my eyes were still closed.

“I will be back in a minute.” She ran outside while I headed back home and rested.

I open my eyes to call Nora.

While I was calling Nora, I noticed Mirabella’s phone chimed, and a notification appeared on the screen saying, Your menstrual period is expected in three days.

This caught my attention.

‘I don’t even remember when I last got my periods.’ I panicked while cutting the phone line.

‘I had unprotected sex not once or twice, but several times.’ I felt as if someone had taken my breath away.

My whole body started sweating about the risk I took because of my stupidity.

‘How can I be so careless? How have I not thought about this till now?’ I started taking deep breaths for more oxygen.

‘What… what… if.. if.. I am pregnant?’ The sea of thoughts is shaking me to the core.

Bile rose in me, and I ran towards the washroom and puked my tummy out.

Mam, are you alright?” I heard the concerned voice of Mirabella from outside the washroom.

“Cleaning my mouth,” I came out, “I am fine.” But I know I am not fine. I am feeling very sick.

I held the door to support myself and took a deep breath again.

Here, take this.” She gave me medicine and a glass of water, and I froze at that moment.

I was a science student, and I know I should not take any medicine until I find out if I am pregnant or not.

It’s harmful to the baby.

‘My Baby.’ The mare of thought has given some unknown shudder, and the hair on my body rose.

I don’t know if I am happy or sad, but I know I am scared. Terrified.

“I need to find out as soon as possible. But how?’ I was thinking of standing at the same spot where she was looking at me with a worried expression and a glass of water and medicine in her hand.

“Ahem, Mirabella, I guess my stomach is also upset.” Clutching my stomach, I walked toward my chair.

“Mam, wait; I will order medicine for you.” Saying I started ordering from her phone.

“No, actually, I know what medicine I need, so can you pass me your phone? I shall order by myself, please.” I asked her, and she forwarded her phone to me.

“Do you mind if I keep it on your phone till I get my medicine?” I asked her.

No, ma’am, not at all. Call me if you need anything.

I will be outside only.

And here I wanted your signature on this file, but we can wait for sure, so don’t worry about it.” She left after giving me a small smile, and I nodded with a smile again.

I ordered ten different pregnancy tests and paid with my card.

I waited some time while tracking the delivery status.

The moment I noticed it was delivered, I deleted my order from her phone and waited for my stuff. After a while, I heard a knock, and Mirabella walked inside with a brown paper bag.

Mam, your medicine.” She came and handed over the parcel to me.

“Thank you; you may leave. She takes your phone.” I dismissed her, but I noticed her hesitation, leaving me alone to look at my state. I wanted her to get out asap.

I rush to the bathroom and arrange all the ten kits lined up. I started working on my work, and one by one, I dropped my pee into the kit.

The sudden perspiration I was feeling all over my body, and sweat droplets were dripping from my face towards my neck, lost somewhere in my cleavage.

I held a slab to hold my body before I fell on my buttocks.

I glued my eyes on the kits; tears were flowing from my eyes like a Niagara fall.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I was looking without blinking, and then the results started coming one by one.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

I felt a sudden paralysis. Someone has snatched my breath away from me. I took a few steps back, shaking my head in denial.

I suddenly felt suffocated, and my chest started painting.

I was closing and opening my eyes, and my vision was blurry.

‘I need air. I need air.’ My mind warns me.

I looked around the place, and I felt more suffocated.

Rolling my eyes, I search my way out. And the door felt like a ray of hope at that moment.

Holding the toilet seat, I walked with a wobbly leg toward the door, opened it, and saw someone was about to punch me.

But I did not flinch, as I was too lost in my thoughts.
