DALIA'S POVI watched as all the blood drained from Eros' face. Dr. Ryan quickly noticed the shift in the aura, exchanging glances between Eros and I. She folded up the test results, and put it back in the torn envelope, before handing it over to me."I'll just be in the hall, in case you need me." She said quietly, before leaving us. Sebastian cleared his throat awkwardly, and walked over to where Dr. Ryan had just been standing."I'll be stepping out as well, Mr. West." He stated. Eros nodded, and Sebastian followed Dr. Ryan out, giving Eros and I some privacy. I took a couple deep breaths, and spoke."Still not sure it's yours?" I asked rhetorically, the moment I was sure Dr. Ryan and Sebastian were out of ear shot. I got up from the chair, and walked over to the opposite end of the cubicle. Eros let out a heavy sigh. He dropped his leg, and bent forward, bowing his head in between his spread legs, with his hands put together. "Now you've got nothing to say, huh? I hissed. I shook
EROS'POVIt felt like an earth quake in my car, as a climbed into the back seat and slammed the door shut. I almostt though I would just come apart as the vehicle shook from the force."You sure everything's alright, Mr. West?" Sebastian asked cautiously. I looked up into the rear view mirror, and caught his stare. Our eyes locked instantly, and I held my gaze for a minute or so, before watching as Sebastian shuddered, and looked away. "Alright then." He said under his breath. It was only when he looked forward that I was able to see my own eyes. They did not look like they belonged to me. They had taken on a slightly sinister appearance, the dark circles beneath them looked much darker, my eyes themselves had become narrow, and appeared sunken. It was almost like I was staring into two hollows."I've got to get a fucking grip." I mumbled, looking away from the mirror. Sebastian started the car, and began driving us back to West Inc. head quarters. I shut my eyes, and inhaled deeply,
EROS' POVMy phone rang for the twentieth time this morning."Should I get it, Mr. West?" Isaiah asked. With both hands in my pockets, I turned away from the large square window behind my work desk, and faced him."No, no." I objected. My chest heaved as I took a deep breath, pulled out my right hand and ran it through my hair. " I know who it is." Isaiah nodded slighty, and hummed in understanding. Dalia had sent me about fifteen emails in the last one week. My guess is that she soon realised she had to try other methods, and so she began to call my personal phone number. Not only did I have absolutely zero idea how she even got my number, but I was nearly losing my mind because of her persistent pestering. There was not a single day that passed where Dalia did not call my line, morning, noon, and night. Sebastian had also noticed, and was curious to know why I just wanted speak to the mother of my unborn child.Of course, to this I responded with some transfer of aggression disguise
DALIA'S POVI had rushed out the house without even having breakfast this morning, and it seemed my day had only gotten worse from there. I was very late for work this morning, but that was the thing that bothered me the least as I stepped through the large front doors of MELT head quarters. I had just come from West's office. Emily told me not to go, but I hadn't heard from him since we did the paternity test. I would describe Eros west a many unpleasant things, but never for once did I imagine that deadbeat father would be one of them. I was having a difficult time. Keeping up with work, and going to visit dad, we're already stressful enough before the pregnancy, now it just seemed like all odds were against me.My clothes were starting to feel a lille tight, as I had finally gotten my baby bump. It was a small bump that could still be hidden by baggy clothes, but it made everything so much more real for me. Emily tried her best to be there for me, video calling after work, and brin
DALIA'S POV"Dalia!" Jeffery's voice came stern and loud. He grabbed me by the ankle, and shook me energetically, startling me out of my short nap. "What are you doing, man?" I jumped to my feet, straightening out my clothes, and flattening my hair with my hands. Standing in the door way, we're two other employees, staring at me. I turned to face Jeffery, who was pacing up and down the office, face all swollen in anger."Mr. Starr, I am so, so sorry. I don't know what got into me-""Exactly!" He cut my off mid sentence. "Nobody k ows what's gotten into you, Dalia. You're falling asleep in my office, you're late for work, and for weeks now you've been so distracted. Do you even know if what's been going on with the company?" Jeffrey stood with his arms spread wide open. He dropped them carelessly to his side, so they slapped his thighs, and shook his head as he turned away from me."Boss, I-I know my head's been a little up in the clouds lately." I admitted."Yeah," Jeffrey scoffed. "
Dalia’s Pov“You are incompetent, clumsy, stupid, useless, I don’t even know why I slept with you in the first place!”I woke up with a start, sweating bullets. “Just great Dalia. Now, you are beginning to have nightmares too.” I cussed, trying to get up from the bed. It seems my leg was stuck in the sheets. After a while of pulling, the last one landed me on the floor. I gasped in fear as I covered my baby bump with my palms. As if that would do anything.It was then I realized something. I want this baby. If the drama at the abortion clinic didn’t confirm it enough. If the insult I received from Eros pertaining this child wasn’t confirming enough. I started rubbing gently as I got up from the floor like nothing happened.“Dear baby, if your Dad was here, he would be the one rubbing and whispering sweet nothings to my ears.” I whispered to my self as I made my way to the sitting room. Then I saw something I shouldn’t.There it was, a creature with no face and cucumber for eyes. It wa
Dalia’s POVIt was hard to find a spot to park. My sigh turned into a smile when the spa came into full view.True to Emily's description, Rosewood Wellness Spa looked like it was one of the best in the city. Its sheer beauty already gave me peace before I came down from the car. Although it had the typical water fountain, where mineral water flowed from, people walking around in bathrobes, couples chatting with excitement and so on. Besides the beauty of a spa comes from how capable their workers hands were. If I am this impressed, it means there would be more waiting for me inside.I raised my eyebrows in amusement when I found some girls with probably their bff's standing excitedly at the entrance door. I looked at Emily who was smoothening down her cloth and putting on her Annie Season's sandals. I call it Any season sandals...I could never get used to the fact that Emily had other taste in clothes apart from West designs. If anything this was the place of attention.To say I was e
Eros’ PovThe brightening of the day didn’t fill me with happiness as everyone would think. Instead, I was filled with dread. What would happen next? What would be on the news next?I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration. Although I threatened her but she seemed so composed even after I did that. It threw me off balance and it made me think there is something she might do to bring my attention back to her.She won’t succeed.I swung my leg to the other side of the bed. It was a surprise how the week came by and now it is weekend already.Some part of me couldn’t help but think of what Dalia would be doing now. Although it’s been a week since I last saw her. I’ve been keeping tabs on her though as Jeremy never fails to give me new update about her. It seemed like he cared for her more than just an employee. He was like a big brother to her.I scoffed. I am sure she hasn’t told him anything about the pregnancy…The Jeremy I know won’t think twice before sending her home for mate
