I am feeling nauseous and I’m not even half way to my room! My room is on the other side and I’m way too far to reach it, and I can feel that I’m about to throw up anytime now. I opened the door on the first room I reached and didn’t even bother knocking. I ran to the room’s bathroom and started vomiting on the toilet.
“WHAT THE HELL SAVANNAH?!” I heard Sylvester yell.
Oh, I think it’s his room. I didn’t face him and continued vomiting. I didn’t even saw him when I entered. After a few minutes, I stopped throwing up. I stood up and was startled when I saw Sylvester.
“Why are you standing there like a ghost?”
“Why did you barge in my room without even knocking?”
“As you can see, I’m dying.” I stepped out and saw a woman on his bed, half naked but covering herself with a blanket. “It’s early in the morning but you’re already in action.”
“Did you just get home? Are you sick?” I turned to Sylvester and gave him a judging look.
“When are you going to stop messing around with women?”
“Are you sick? Why did you vomit that much?” He is trying to change the subject and avoid the topic. Oh well, my brothers, except Skyler, are womanizers. Actually, even my grandfather and father are womanizers.
“Okay, just don’t forget to practice safe sex.” I turned and looked at the woman who’s at my brother’s bed. “Rethink your decisions, girl. You are more than just a sex figurine. Even if he’s my brother, I can’t tolerate him being a womanizer. You’ll be one of his toys for a while and be instantly a garbage after. So, choose wisely.”
“Why do you have to say that?!” Sylvester is obviously annoyed. I can feel him by the tone of his voice. Stefano and him took the genes of my father and grandfather, and I sometimes regret not being a better older sister to avoid them ending like this.
“I’m leaving. I hope you start to grow up and be a man. Sorry for the disturbance by the way.”
I closed the room’s door and left.
Sometimes, I just can’t swallow the men in my family being like this. I am a woman and it disgusts me living in one roof with men like my dad, grandpa, Stefano and Sylvester. Like I said, I somehow regretted at one point that I didn’t to my best as an older sister to stop Vester and Stefano turning to be like this.
Anyway, it’s been two days since the red-carpet incident and ever since that day, I’ve been on the gossip pages. I am still unwell and I vomit every morning so I decided to visit the doctor once and for all.
I drove by myself to the hospital. I didn’t tell anyone, not even mom or Skyler, about my visit to the hospital. I don’t want them to worry. I told no one about my condition because I know that when the words spread, I’ll be fucked up.
I arrived at the hospital and they attended to me immediately after confirming my appointment. I am now waiting inside the doctor’s office after doing some test. Actually, I am anxious, really anxious. I don’t know but I started looking back on everything I did thinking a bunch of what ifs. I suddenly started hoping and praying that I am not terminally ill.
Few minutes later, the doctor finally arrived. Thank goodness! I thought I’ll have to wait here forever! She sat on her swivel chair and smiled at me.
“Sorry to keep you waiting miss Savannah Harris.”
“No worries.”
“I have your test results but I want to make sure not to misdiagnose you. Can you explain me again the symptoms you’ve been experiencing the past few days?”
“I throw up in the morning. My headaches became more frequent and I also feel dizzy often. I get tired quickly unlike before. I also feel sore in some parts of my body and I think my appetite became bigger, I don’t know if that’s essential information but yeah. Also, my sense of smell became more sensitive.” She scans the documents she’s holding which made me more nervous. “Why? Is it bad? Am I terminally ill? Am I dying?” She looks at me and chuckled while shaking her head.
“No, no, you can relax. You are not terminally ill and you are not dying.”
“Then what’s wrong with me?”
“Well, according to the test results; you are pregnant.” My brain stopped working. I am dead serious. It’s like it suddenly malfunctioned after hearing the doctor’s words. Everything around me stopped. My world stopped. “We need to conduct an ultrasound to know how long your pregnancy is and confirm everything—”
“Wait, just—just give me a minute.”
I.Am.Fucking.Pregnant.
I am pregnant? I am pregnant. I AM PREGNANT?!
“I AM PREGNANT?!” Now it started to process. I am pregnant... and the only man I had sex with is Cameron. I AM PREGNANT WITH MY BODYGUARD’S BABY?! I AM PREGNANT WITH A BODYGUARD’S BABY?!
“Is there a problem miss Savannah?”
“N-No, not at all.” Yeah, the is no problem because I just fucked up big time. I can’t believe this is happening. I mentioned safe sex to Vester earlier but—FUCK!
“Should we proceed to ultrasound—”
“D-Doc, I’m sorry but can we keep everything a secret. Pretend like you didn’t examine me today. Don’t tell anyone about the results of my test. I’ll pay you extra if you want, just keep this from anyone. You know, me and my family has to discuss about this in terms of safety so I don’t want to, you know, put my baby in danger.”
“You don’t have to worry about that Miss Harris. There’s doctor and patient confidentiality so you don’t have to worry about this getting out to the public.”
I am now inside my car and I’m spacing out. I did an ultrasound and confirmed that I am indeed pregnant. To be exact, I am one month pregnant. Aside from the fact that Cameron is the only man I slept with, the timeline also proves that he is the father of my child.
I was about to start my car but I saw Cameron coming out from the hospital with a girl. I can’t see the girl’s face but I’m sure the guy is Cameron.
What is he doing here? Who’s that girl? Don’t tell me... he has a girlfriend?
This is really fucked up. I just shook my head and started driving back to the mansion.
After few hours, it’s dinner time. I am silently eating my food and I am still spacing out. I feel like I can’t hear anything being said in the dinning table. I just came back to my senses when Vester, who’s sitting beside me, nudge my arms.
“What?” I asked him confused. I turned to the others and saw them staring at me.
“I’ve been calling you for several times now, Savannah,” my grandfather said.
“Did you go deaf or what?” my dad sarcastically asked.
“I’m talking about the scene you made on the red-carpet event two days ago. What were you—” I didn’t let him finish and just stood up. I know what they were about to say, and I am not at the right state of my mind to listen to their bullshit.
“I’m going to rest. I lost my appetite.” They called my name but I ignored them and just went back to my room and rested.
The next day, I woke up with morning sickness...again. I sat on the bathroom’s floor after vomiting. I am tired of this shit every single morning...but what can I do? There’s a human being growing inside my belly. I gently massage my belly while starring at it. “Don’t give too much pain to me. I’m dealing with this alone, so I expect you to cooperate.” What am I even doing? I’m talking to my belly. I can’t still process everything completely but I know that I have to face reality because I have a fetus inside of me. Honestly, abortion came to my mind but thinking of killing an innocent child inside of me is killing me already. I stood up and looked myself in the mirror. Damn! I look horrible! I am a mess! I barely slept last night. I lifted my shirt and looked at my belly through the mirror and realized that in a few months it will start growing forming a bump. How long can I hide this pregnancy? A knock on my door got my attention. I pulled down my shirt before opening the door.
I took a deep breath before entering the room. As soon as I opened the door, I saw various people inside.Those judgmental eyes! They are probably judging my entire existence right now.I felt someone hold my arm and I saw Stefano as I turn around.“You can’t face all those gazes alone. This is not your first time, be more realistic and stop throwing tantrums even for just one night.” I pulled my arms away from him and glared at him.“I’m not the one throwing tantrums, your father is. Mind your own business.”“This is the most I can do for my older sister. Better just sit back and do nothing.” He walked away and left me. I calmed myself down. Now that I’m pregnant, my emotions are more sensitive. I get angry even at the smallest things. I just decided that it’s best for me to lay low because stress would do no good for me and my baby.I walked towards my family who’s busy talking with the Morgan family. Basically, Morgan family is our relative. My dad and the chairwoman of MGH Company
It’s been three weeks since the event and I am currently in the hospital for a check-up. I’m having an ultrasound right at this very moment.“Look here Savannah.” She pointed something on the monitor. “This is your child. She or he is still small but you can see that it’s slowly developing. In three to five months, you’ll be able to know the gender.”I can feel tears slowly fall from my eyes. I can’t help but smile and feel emotional as I stare at the monitor.“Oh! The baby is moving!” I exclaimed.“She or he is probably excited to meet you.”After my check-up, I proceed to a five-star restaurant. I’m meeting Cassandra for lunch.“Sorry, am I late?” I worriedly asked as soon as I arrived. The longer I stare at her, the longer I realize how pretty she is. She could be a model considering her exceptional height too.“No, I just arrived too. What do you want to eat?”“I’m fine with a steak or any of your recommendations. I never tried this place before.”“Really? You’ve never been to thi
It became more awkward between me and Cameron after that confrontation. I don’t what pushed me to lie to him but I thought that it’s the best decision for now.But I’m really offended on what he said. He now knows why I’m the black sheep? Does he mean that I deserve to be treated like shit? I really swear to kick his ass one day!Another two weeks has passed. I’m at the living room waiting for my foods to get delivered when Skyler came.“What are you doing here?” “Why? Am I not allowed to be here now?” He just stood in front me while starring at me weirdly. “What do you want? Why are you looking at me like that?”“I don’t know. You’re getting weirder and weirder.” Oh gosh, does he know? Can he notice?I’m about to answer him but my delivery arrived. I picked it up and was about to go back to my room but Skyler stopped me.“Are those fast foods? Ah! I know what’s weird with you! I keep seeing you eating fast foods and junk foods! Are you not dieting?”“Why? Am I not allowed to eat wha
I have been busy preparing for the biding project for the past three days. I was already oriented on what I need to do and prepare to win the bidding, and damn I’m almost sleepless! I keep working and proposing different projects to grandfather that Z&H Empire could like for their casino hotel and resort business.I really don’t know why I accepted this task! I’m just giving myself stress!I’m busy brainstorming when grandfather’s secretary knocked on my room’s door.“Your grandfather found a solution for you to fully understand how a casino hotel and resort operates.”“How?”“He wants you to fly to Las Vegas and stay there for a week to analyze how their business works. Be a costumer in a casino and hotel in Las Vegas and see for yourself how they operate. You might get something useful from there that you could use to develop your business proposal.”A trip to Las Vegas? I think that’s not a bad idea. I could use the time to relax.“I just have to experience the casino and other ser
It’s our sixth day in Las Vegas and I am so angry because I can’t have my alone time until now! We’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow and the only thing I have done is play in the casino and roam around the hotel to observe. I really want to go shopping alone.Maybe I could sneak away from Cameron? Right! I’ll just escape his sight! I have to think of a distraction for him so I can escape and then I’ll go shopping alone!We are currently at a restaurant of the hotel. I looked at Cameron who’s busy eating his food.“Cameron,” I called his attention. He raised his head and looked at me. I really hope this works. “I have to make a phone call but I forgot my phone on the room. Can you get it for me?”“Use mine.”“No! I have to send an email about the project and the file is on my phone. Can you get it?” He is just staring at me. I know he is suspicious. Urgh! Just take the bait! “Please?”“Just stay here and don’t even dare to move. I’ll be right back.” He stood up and left.Yes! It wor
We are now back inside the hotel room. I am still silent and somewhat traumatized of what happened. It was my first time getting kidnaped, and it’s nothing to be proud of or maybe? I mean I wouldn’t get kidnaped if I wasn’t wealthy.What the hell am I even thinking?What bothers me the most is the person behind my kidnapping. The kidnapers clearly said that someone paid them to kill me. Wait, it wasn’t just kidnapping! It was a supposedly murder! Someone planned my death, but why? Most importantly, who?“You should take a rest,” Cameron said. He was about to leave the room but I stopped him. I don’t know what came to my mind but I hugged him from the back.“Stay here. I don’t want to be alone.”“Aren’t you crossing the line?” I hugged him tighter and closed my eyes.“Let me cross the line even just for this night.” We stayed in that position for a couple of minutes until he grabbed my hand and removed my arms from his waist. He turned around and hugged me.“I’m relieved that nothing b
Our plane just landed. We are now back here at Casterdale. I feel refreshed after that trip to Las Vegas, and also after clearing things with Cameron.We are now exiting on the arrival area when suddenly, a bunch of reporters started to run towards me. Cameron immediately blocked me from them.“Miss Savannah Harris, is it true that you will be the new director of SH Holdings?”“Is it true that you will handle the project bidding for Z&H empire’s casino and hotel project?”“Are you really using drugs?”“Is it also true that you went to California and got married to a commoner?”What the hell is happening?! What happened while I was gone?“Wait, please calm down I just arrived. Let me just answer some of the questions I heard. First, I won’t be the new SH holdings director. Second, yes, I will handle the project bidding. Third, who the fuck accused me of using drugs?! I am not, note that in red ink and capital letters! Lastly, absolutely not! I Did not get married in California. I just
