The three people who were taken aback by Mr Arnold were speechless and didn't know what to say. Mr Arnold looked at his wife questioningly...Mrs Arnold's knew that there was no point of lying. "i-i , my husband, we did what we thought was best . You know Rain lost two of her pregnancies before and the doctor confirmed that the child was not healthy so we thought it best that the child should be terminated instead. . She is not in the right condition to give birth to this child I did this for the sake of our daughter. Natasha here will marry Zain so our family relations don't get affected " Mrs Arnold explained patiently, making sure not to say anything wrong.
"Wait a minute, you said you terminated her pregnancy because the child was not healthy? now you are saying Rain was not in good condition to give birth? firstly, how did you even terminate her pregnancy? Did she agree to this?" Mr Arnold asked so many questions which made his wife tongue tied."Uncle, I was also involved in this..Rain is not in good condition to give birth as at now but she kept on insisting on keeping the child. She had no idea that medicine was put in her juice to terminate her pregnancy. This was the only way. Her life and health is more important than anything else, that's why we did this" Zain explained."And how do you feel, having to be engaged to my eldest daughter and due to her inability to give birth to a child for you right now, you decide to go for the younger one, tell me, how does it feel?" Mr Arnold said this, looking at Zain sternly. Zain averted Mr Arnold's gaze and dropped his head without saying a word.He turned and looked at his youngest daughter who was his favorite, "and you, how do you feel about stealing your elder sister's fiance? Don't you care about what people will say?""Dad, Rain brought this upon herself, I am not to blame for her misfortune, she knew she was pregnant the first time but she was still negligent and behaved like a wild..."Enough! Natasha , Rain is your elder sister. You people have lost your minds""Husband, we did this for her, she is also my flesh and blood. At this moment, Zain needs to get married and our family can't cut ties with the Williams family all because of Rain's mistakes. That's why I suggested that Zain and Natasha get married instead. Husband think about this more rationally. Rain made her own mistakes and there is nothing we can do about it. She is only facing the consequences of her carelessness""Are you her mother at all? No, wait, did you really give birth to this girl? Is she your flesh and blood?" Mr Arnold's questioned his wife."What kind of a question is that? Of course she is my flesh and blood, I gave birth to her so you should know that this hurts me more than it hurts anyone else here! " Mrs Arnold's spoke in a sharp tone."I will not take part in all this ruse you all are playing. Keep me out of it""Ruse? You call this a ruse? How dare you? What do you think of me?" Mrs Arnold's yelled at her husband. Mr Arnold indifferently waved his arm then turned and started to walk away. "You need to finish this conversation with me right now! Don't you dare walk out on me""Mum, just try and calm down. We will talk to dad some other time. He is angry. for now, give him some time" natasha advised in a soft tone.Zain, quietly watched the drama unfold. He didn't want to get involved at this moment, this is not what he planned for."Son, your uncle is just a little angry, he will come around soon, don't worry. Focus on your wedding for now and make sure to set a date on time. You two have already gotten familiar with each other so I am sure you will get along well. Clear things up with Rain then focus on these other important things" Mrs Arnold's said to zain in a soft and comforting tone."I will have to discuss this with my father first" Zain responded then shifted his gaze elsewhere, not giving Mrs Arnold's the chance to say anything. Mrs Arnold's felt a little embarrassed, she cleared her throat before speaking "Natasha is three weeks pregnant, you have no choice but to marry her anyways". Zain was utterly stunned, he abruptly stood up and looked at the mother and daughter pair with a dropped jaw."W-What do-do you mean Natasha is pregnant? How?""Oh please Zain, don't act like a child, you remember the first night we spent together, and the second night? You claimed it was a mistake but that mistake resulted into this. You agreed to take part in Rain's abortion, I thought it was because of the two night's we spent together, that's why you easily agreed""Damn it Natasha! I only agreed because your mother had a point, marrying Rain would not have benefited me. I didn't want to be stuck with a woman who will only give me a female child then fails to give me a male child due to her inability to conceive. As for marrying you, I-I...."It's fine Zain, I will just abort this child, don't worry about it, since you are not sure about me, what's the point of me giving birth to a child who will obviously not have a complete home? I wouldn't want to be the laughing stock of people out there"Natasha spoke in a pitiful tone and dropped a few tears as if she were wronged. She slowly turned and was about to take a step when her arm was suddenly caught by Zain. "Natasha I am sorry, please don't do this. OK fine, it's fine, I will marry you okay? After all this is sorted out with Rain, I will set a date for our wedding. Our child will have a home. Just don't take it away. I-I mean don't get rid of our child. By the way, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zain excitedly asked.Mrs Arnold smirked, of course this was her daughter, she had Zain exactly where they wanted him to be. "Son, we just found out. Now you need to sort out Rain's issue then we look ahead. Don't worry, I will take care of Natasha in the meantime before you two get married. You don't have to worry about the baby" Mrs Arnold's assured with a bright smile on her face. She bid farewell to the two and walked out, she needed to talk to her husband, convince him about these things.I hope Rain forgives me for this.. I am only doing what's best for the family. Mrs Arnold's thought to herself.She ambled down the hall way heading to the parking lot where her car was as she vividly remembered that night. "Mrs Arnold it's a girl, she is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen, especially her eyes. Mrs Arnold looked away, not wanting to look at her baby. Because of this child, she couldn't continue with her modelling carrer. She wanted to wait for a few year's before she could start having babies but this little brat just happened. She tried to get rid of her child just so she could continue but this little child wanted to come to this world by any means possible.The nurse left the baby beside Mrs Arnold and turned off the lights. Mrs Arnold was in sorrow as she looked away from her child.The baby began to cry in the dark but Mrs Arnold's ignored the babies cry.After what seemed like a long time, the baby didn't stop crying, Mrs Arnold looked at her crying baby and hesitantly picked her up. With this action, the baby stopped crying and slightly opened her eyes. The little
Mr Arnold slowly walked to the sofa and sat down powerlessly. What has this damned woman done? She sacrificed her first daughter for her second daughter? H-How could I have married such a nefarious woman? How did I not see her wickedness before?She wasn't like this before..I never knew her hatred for Rain had gotten to this extent. Mr Arnold said to himself in disbelief with a shocked expression like that of a zombie.Meanwhile, in the hospital, Zain was in Rain's room. Waiting for her to wake up. He paced back and forth while he intently looked at her face. Indeed she was an irresistible beauty but all that meant nothing to Zain. He wanted children and settling for a woman like Rain was a non starter. Of course Zain wouldn't make such a mistake.After what seemed like a long time, Rain's eyelashes batted a few times before she finally opened her eyes. Just like the first time, Zain was a little carried away by her eyes.Rain smiled, "Zain, it's you, why are you standing so far, come
Rain was utterly shocked by what she heard. The doctor's words kept on echoing in her mind as tears subconsciously rolled down her face. Could it be that I committed so many hideous sins in my past life of which I am only paying for all those sins now? Rain questioned herself.The doctor who seemed to have seen through all this cleared his throat before speaking "miss Arnold, are you telling me that you were not aware you lost your pregnancies through abortions?" Rain shook her head "no, I had no idea, I would never harm my own flesh and blood I can't! I really can't" she responded in a heavy voice while tears continuously rolled down her face."Well, you are telling me you had no idea but your mother was aware of this . She knew about all this so how can you say you don't know?"Rain abruptly raised her head and looked directly at the doctor. She shook her head in denial a couple of times failing to believe. "No, no! Mum didn't know either. If she knew about this, she would have scol
hey doctor, tell me who that man is" Rain quickly stood to her feet and questioned Mr Lee curiously. "Young lady, be patient, I will tell you all that you need to know. For now, let me walk you to your room" Mr Lee responded. Rain nodded her head and obediently walked to her hospital ward with the help of Mr Lee. Who could that man be? Why would he want to be so kind towards me? He mentioned an offer of which I would have to put in any amount of money. Good, it's very good for me that's if he is serious. But wait, what kind of offer could it be? What if it's something that will require me to go against my principles? Rain subconsciously shook her head. No, he seems like a good man. Rain had so many questions in mind. She was curious and wanted to know who this man was and what deal was going to be offered to her. Mrs Arnold, if really you are my biological mother, I will have no mercy on you. Just as you have shown no mercy on your daughter, I will have no mercy on you as my mother bu
Mr Arnold asked in a sharp tone. "the decision has already been made, there's nothing you can do to change it. No matter how much you shout, yell or do whatever, nothing will...."Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense, I wasn't talking to you nefarious woman" Mr Arnold interrupted his wife's words."Dad, please calm down, mum is right, I just have to get married to Zain, I have no choice. Besides, I am pregnant with his child " Natasha responded in a pitiful tone. Mr Arnold got the shock of his life. He never thought that such a day would come. Mr Arnold felt his knees weak and before he knew it, he fell to the chair.So this girl actually went behind her sisters back and started messing with her man? How could I have been so blind not to see the kind of games these people were playing? All this happened under my own roof and I couldn't protect my child. So pure and innocent, yet naive and stupid.Rain dear, look at what your kindness has landed you into. Mr Arnold thought to himself with a
In not less than 20 minutes after Mr Lee had settled in his office, he heard a knock at his door. As usual, he was reading a book that caught all his attention and didn't care to shift his gaze. He lazily responded "come in" without making any movement. Mr Arnold quickly walked in and sat on the chair opposite Mr Lee who at this point was deeply concentrating on the information he was reading.Upon seeing this, Mr Arnold cleared his throat before speaking "doctor, are you the one who has been handling my daughter's health?""I am fine, I hope you are fine too. Who is your daughter if I may ask?" Mr Lee responded still looking at the book in his hands.Mr Arnold sighed helplessly, this was indeed some weird doctor. "The young lady who just lost her pregnancy, Rain Arnold" .Mr Lee slowly took off his glasses and looked at the man seated on the other side of the table."Oho, so you are Mr Arnold? I see...what an irresponsible father you are. Don't tell me you didn't know your daughter h
Everyone in the living room was a little stunned by Mr Arnold's response. Mrs Arnold just dropped her head, failing to look at her husband who was furious at this point. The whole room was filled with silence and the atmosphere felt tense." I see you people have no shame, you see the way you are all seated right here? This is exactly how you were seated when you came asking for my first daughter's hand in marriage. Now you come again, seated in the same posture, asking for my second daughter's hand in marriage. Aren't you not ashamed? Isn't it not absurd?" Mr Arnold questioned.Everyone kept silent, no one dared to utter a word. Indeed Mr Arnold had a point with his question." Mr Arnold, I suggest we let bygones be bygones, let's move on for the sake of our children. We all know they will be parents sooner or later, now more than ever is the time we should put our heads together and strengthen them . Don't tell me that you will go against this marriage?" Mrs Williams spoke out."Of
Before she could give an answer, there was a loud thunderous sound that seemed to shake the entire building a little. Rain got startled and found herself holding the man in front of her.Upon feeling the soft hands of this woman around his waist, Gabriel's body suddenly turned stiff as he never comprehended that this girl would do such a thing.Rain immediately jumped off, quickly removing her hands around the man's waist.Gabriel cleared his throat before speaking, "young lady I'm not here to entertain you all day. I have so many things to do. Either you give me a yes, or no answer right now".Rain clenched her fist, if this man could really do as she said, then definitely she could get her revenge. Looking at how much influence he had..Rain subconsciously nodded her head. Gabriel saw this signal then smirked, " good, I'm glad you agreed. I will send someone to bring the documents so you can sign" he said as he prepared to leave."Wait! What if you fail or refuse to fulfill my wishe
