LOGINThe next morning felt different.The house was quiet, but not peaceful.It was the kind of quiet that comes before a storm.Emily woke up early.She had barely slept.Her eyes were swollen.Her head felt heavy.For a few seconds, she forgot everything.Then it came back.The hospital.The words.Pregnant.Her chest tightened.She slowly sat up in bed.The room felt smaller than before.She placed her hand on her stomach again.Her heart beat faster.She did not know if she should be scared more for herself or for the baby.After a few minutes, she stood up slowly.Her body still felt weak.She washed her face.She looked at herself in the mirror.She looked different.Not outside.But inside.She could feel it.There was a knock on her door.Soft.She froze.“Emily,” a servant’s voice said gently.“Breakfast is ready.”She swallowed.“I will come,” she answered quietly.When she stepped into the hallway, she felt nervous.She did not know who she would see first.She walked downstairs
The house was quiet that evening.Very quiet.Diana had locked herself in her room.Tessa had gone out again.The servants were whispering downstairs.But upstairs—The air felt heavy.Harrison stood in front of Emily’s door.He did not knock immediately.He stood there for a few seconds.Thinking.His face was serious.His eyes were dark.Then he knocked once.Soft.Inside the room, Emily froze.Her heart jumped.“Sir?” she said softly.“Open the door.”His voice was calm.But cold.She walked slowly to the door.Her hands felt weak.She opened it.He stood there.Tall.Quiet.Unsmiling.She stepped aside.“Come in, sir.”He walked inside.He closed the door behind him.The small sound of the door closing made her heart beat faster.He did not sit.He remained standing.She remained near the bed.Her hands were holding each other tightly.For a few seconds—Silence.Then he spoke.“Sit down.”She obeyed.She sat at the edge of the bed.Her back was straight.Her head was lowered.He
Morning came slowly.The house was quiet.Too quiet.It felt like something heavy was sitting in every room.Diana did not sleep well.She woke up early.Her mind was still burning with anger.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Emily’s face.She heard the word again.Pregnant.It made her chest tight.She walked out of her room and went downstairs.The living room was empty.She stood there for a moment.Then she said quietly to herself, “She will not stay here.”Her voice was cold.Very cold.A few minutes later, Harrison came downstairs.He looked tired.His face was serious.He did not greet Diana.He just walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water.Diana watched him carefully.“So,” she said.He did not look at her.“So what?” he asked calmly.“So what are you planning to do?” she demanded.He took a sip of water.“About what?”Diana’s eyes widened.“About that girl!” she shouted.Harrison slowly placed the glass down.“Lower your voice,” he said.“I will not low
Emily locked the door.Her hands were shaking.She leaned her back against the door slowly.The house was quiet now.But the silence did not give her peace.It felt heavy.Like something was pressing on her chest.She slowly walked to the bed and sat down.Her face still hurt from the slap.Her heart hurt more.Pregnant.The word repeated again and again in her mind.She placed her hand on her stomach.It felt the same.Nothing had changed on the outside.But inside…Everything had changed.A tear rolled down her cheek.She did not even wipe it away.“How?” she whispered.But she already knew how.Her body trembled.Her mind slowly went back.Back to that night.That night she tried to forget.That night she buried deep inside her heart.The memory came like a sudden flash.A dark room.Soft light.The smell of strong perfume.A deep voice.She closed her eyes tightly.“No…” she whispered.But the memory did not stop.She remembered how confused she felt.How everything happened too f
The evening was quiet outside.But inside the house, the air was heavy.Diana was sitting in the living room.Her face was dark with anger.Her mind was not calm.She kept thinking about the news.Pregnant.That girl was pregnant.Under her roof.She felt insulted.She felt ashamed.Just then, the front door opened.Tessa walked in.She dropped her handbag on the table.“Mom, I’m home,” she said casually.She did not notice the tension at first.Diana looked at her.Her eyes were sharp.“Tessa,” she said coldly.Tessa stopped.“What happened?” she asked.Diana stood up slowly.“You will not believe what happened today.”Tessa frowned.“What?”Diana walked closer.“That useless girl,” she said with hatred in her voice.“She is pregnant.”Silence.Tessa blinked.“What?” she asked.“She is pregnant,” Diana repeated.Tessa stared at her mother.“Emily?” she asked.“Yes!” Diana snapped.“That shameless girl!”Tessa’s eyes widened.“For who?” she asked quickly.Diana folded her arms.“She r
The car moved slowly on the road.Inside the car, it was very quiet.Too quiet.Harrison was driving.His face looked hard and cold.His eyes were fixed on the road.He did not look at Emily.Not even once.Emily sat beside him.Her hands were on her lap.They were shaking.She did not know why her heart felt so heavy.She did not know what the doctor said.But she knew something was wrong.Very wrong.She looked at Harrison carefully.“Sir…” she said softly.He did not answer.She swallowed.“Sir, am I very sick?”His hands tightened on the steering wheel.“No,” he said shortly.Just one word.Nothing more.She felt fear rise inside her chest.Then why was he like this?Why was his voice so cold?Why did he not look at her?The rest of the drive was silent.The air inside the car felt heavy.Emily looked outside the window.The world outside looked normal.People were walking.Cars were moving.But inside the car, everything felt strange.Her head was still a little dizzy.Her body f
