Chapter 2: Mocking laugh.

When I got back to my senses I drove back home.

Andrew wasn't home when I returned and I was restless. Even in my restlessness I cooked his favorite meal. 

Silly of me,my boyfriend might have cheated on me and I still had the energy to cook.

Andrew never liked maids so none was hired in his house and I did all the work in the house.

I didn't mind because I had nothing else to do,I was just his live-in girlfriend after all.

I waited for Andrew to come home and welcomed him with a loving smile ignoring all that had happened earlier today because I didn't want to cause an argument and make him leave. 

When I wanted to take his briefcase from him he stopped me but my smile never wavered.

"Welcome home I made dinner." I told him as he proceeded to go up the stairs to our room not sparing a glance at me.

"Should I bring it upstairs?" I asked and got no reply so I followed him closely behind.

He dropped his briefcase on the table when we got into the room and proceeded to uncuff his cufflinks.

"How was work today?" I asked and got no reply.

I was used to this so I didn't care,it didn't bother me as much as what Tory said.

"You said we would talk when we get home." I said and that was when his eyes met mine but he was still silent.

He had his back turned to me so I couldn't see his face properly.

"Is Tory really pregnant with your child?" I asked as I gulped and waited for his response.

He turned around and tsk.

"I can't believe that you are annoying and noisy at the same time." He answered.

"That didn't answer my…"

"Yes, is there a problem with that?" He asked and I froze,shocked by how he blurted it out as if it was nothing.

"W..what..what are you talking about?" I asked, my lips quivering as a drop of tear ran down my face.

"Don't act so pathetic Lucy,you heard her say it yet I came back home and you acted like nothing was wrong ,I can't believe you have no pride, you should have known we were closer than we looked, Tory was with me way before you came so I don't see how this is a surprise to you." He said unapologetically.

"I am pregnant with your child!" I yelled at him as tears I was holding ran down my cheeks.

Andrew never lies and I wanted to at least believe he would actually try to say something to justify his actions.

"You have started again with your tantrums, go away woman. I have other things to take care of, because of you I had an argument with Tory.'' He waved me away dismissively.

"I thought you said you loved me,I thought you wanted me and only me." My voice cracked.

"You shouldn't believe everything you hear." He told me as he walked closer to me, smirking.

"I wanted to part ways with you amicably but I don't think that would work.You should leave before I make you,I don't have time for this tonight we can talk tomorrow." He said as he stopped in front of me.

"You have to at least give me an explanation." I yelled but he grabbed my hand and dragged me out as I struggled.

"No, let me go, you have to tell me why you did this!" I shouted in helplessness as he dragged me out of the room pushing me as I lost balance and hit on the wall and he shut the door behind as I knocked helplessly on the door.

"Andrew, please open the door and we can sort this out! Andrew please don't do something like this to me, Andrew! Please!" I cried as I slumbered to the floor.

I can't believe he would easily admit to this.

Why would he do this to me? I didn't like his cold behavior but cheating on me was something I couldn't believe.

I slept in another room that night and he was gone before I could wake up.

I got into the room and got myself cleaned up and waited for Andrew to return but he didn't. 

Instead when I noticed his car return, what I got was his lawyer bringing me eviction papers and me breaking down in tears because I was left with nothing and asked to vacate the house.

"I am pregnant with his child, he won't abandon me." I yelled in frustration at the lawyer.

"That child is not mine." I heard Andrew say and I just noticed he just walked into the house.

"A... Andrew, how could you say that, this child is yours!" I cried out.

"I don't know what you have been up to all the time I have been at work, I am very certain that child isn't mine so don't try to pin it on me." Andrew hissed at me.

I was so surprised because he was so happy to become a Father when I told him I was pregnant but now he is claiming it isn't his. 

"You can't do this to me, you can't abandon your child!" I yelled at him.

"I don't have time to argue with you, I have told you that child isn't mine, if you want to do this the hard way, you can hire a lawyer and go to court and get into debt and you will be surprised how this will be in our favor." Andrew stiffy said.

"Andrew, why would you do something like this to me?" I asked him in tears as I wanted to run up to him but his guards stopped me as his lawyer stood up and they both left.

I didn't have any money ,my cards were blocked,I scoffed at my hopeless state.

I was all alone in this and Andrew's family wasn't that fond of me because I was a nobody and he still decided to date me.

I was given a week to stay here and knowing Andrew he won't change his mind.

 I now wonder what made me fall in love with him, now I remember I was running away from my stepmom and her kids but now that I have nowhere else to go, won't I go back there.

The house was empty without Andrew in it. After he didn't return home for two days it finally dawned on me that Andrew would not return. I took my clothes and other necessary things I needed and put them in my luggage.

When I wanted to get into a car and leave, the guards stopped me under the instructions that I leave with nothing ,no one cared how I felt.

"What do you want me to wear if I leave my clothes here?" I asked them but they didn't care and ripped my luggage out of my hand despite my protest and searched it and when they said it was nothing but clothes they gave me my luggage back.

I was escorted out the gate and the door and the gate was locked behind me.

Four years if my life wastes on nothing I met Andrew where worked as a waitress ,he told me about breaking up with his girlfriend. 

That was Tory if only I had known it would turn out like this.

I was too naive and dense but I still had some money with me,in my trouser pocket.

Was Andrew this heartless that he would leave me stranded when I was pregnant with his child.

I managed to make it to the road where I waved down the taxi and got in and gave him the address of my Dad's house.

When I got into the taxi I couldn't help but break down crying after I just told him to go ,take me out of here.

I really acted like a fool to think that Andrew and Tory were just friends.

The taxi came to a stop in front of the house that I dreaded walking into but I didn't need to even knock when I got to the door opened revealing my stepmom with a smug look on her face as if she was expecting me.

"So you have finally returned back to this place you abandoned, has your rich boyfriend left you? Didn't I tell you he would leave you?" She asked mockingly as she looked at my luggage and burst out laughing and called for my stepsister to come and see me.

 I heard running footsteps and my stepsister Flora came into view and joined her mother in her laughter as they both enjoyed the fact that I was back here with them after I ran away.

I could only bow my head in defeat,my Father wasn't here anymore there was nothing I could do.
