Lucas tossed the envelope to me, making me gulp down the sudden lump that grew in my throat, but no matter how much I did, it was stuck right there. What is going on? Why is he behaving this way? Did he in any way get access to the video? Why was he asking me who the father of the child was, if I said my heart wasn't leaving my body then I'm definitely joking"Are you going to keep staring at me like that or look at the god damned thing?" Lucas's harsh voice threw me out of my reverie, I didn't realize I was staring at him with my mouth wide open. I swallowed hard, turning my attention back to the envelope, my fingers trembling as I tried to put myself together but it wasn't working"I don't see the reason why you're tensing up!"

I asked her more like I pulled her out of her thoughts, she quickly put her bag away and turned towards me, a smile playing on her lips as she nodded in response"Everything is okay, but you need to see this!" Olivia handed me the envelope, I stared at her and back at the envelope before picking it from her hands. I had no idea what it was about but I guess I have to find outA few minutes ago, when I was sitting down in my car at the parking lot, I made up my mind to let Olivia know of the biggest secret I've kept from her, she deserves to know, I can't just keep such an important matter away from her. What if she finds out on her own, wouldn't that be selfish of me, what would she take me as? The best way was t
[Olivia]I sat inside my bedroom, my heart thumping hard against my chest as I held onto the pregnancy result, my mind was in a complete mess, abortion? That's not an option, killing an innocent child I can't be so heartless to do that, I know it is still very little to notice, but I would be lying if I said I was not already in love with the little human growing inside meI gulped down as Joan's words from a few hours ago played back in my mind."Listen to me carefully, Olivia, you made the mistake of not informing your husband from the start, and I know how much you love Lucas, you will inform Lucas of the pregnancy, and when the baby is born, we will secretly run a DNA test, and even if it happens not to be Lucas's child, that's a secret you would have to take to your grave because there's no way Lucas would believe you now if you come open to him about what happened,"I can't even imagine telling him about the incident because firstly I lied to him about where I was going, I told
[Olivia]My heart thumped hard against my chest as I stared at the sight before me, I was leaning on the bathtub, my mouth clutching over my mouth as I stared at the pregnancy test strip in front of me, since the moment I vomited from the smell of food four days ago in my office when Lucas brought food, I have been vomiting ever since. I finally felt the need to take a test because my period had been delayed for weeks. It's not the first time it's been delayed like this, but I felt compelled to check it, and here it is. I am pregnant."Olivia, are you not done?" Joan knocked at the door, we were in the guest bedroom downstairs, and I had locked myself in the bathroom.
