A snake

EMILY’s POINT OF VIEW

What if Lucas doesn't accept my pregnancy? I sat inside my room on top of my bed thinking and contemplating my life and the decisions that I have made in the past. And the one I regret the most was letting Lucas go. And all of a sudden he got married to another lady? How is that possible? How did he get married suddenly?

My friend Sharon came into my room and immediately she saw me worrying on the bed. She knew it was about Lucas.

“Emily, I have told you countless times to let it go. Lucas has asked for a DNA test now. What will you do? You and I know that child doesn't belong to him, right? So what are you going to do?”

“Sharon, what do you mean by the child doesn't belong to him? How do you know that?”

“Okay, tell me if you are sure that the child you are carrying belongs to Lucas. Come on answer me”

“Well, I am not entirely sure but I know that he was the last man I got intimate with”

Sharon squinted her eyes and stared at me with disgust.

“Fine, it wasn't Lucas but I am sure this child belongs to him”

“Emily, I will give you some friendly advice, okay? Go and have a test done on your child so you will be sure. It would not be nice if Lucas turned out not to be the father in front of him. He would be angry and lose all respect and trust in you”

“I really want Lucas back in my life. I am so angry that he got married to that girl. She is so lucky to be his wife. I wish I never let him go but I was deceived by Shawn!”

“Remember when I kept telling you not to get involved with Shawn but you never listened to me, right? You said Shawn was going to be richer than Lucas. Now see what you have brought upon yourself, Emily. Lucas is completely gone he now belongs to someone else”

“Never! I will never let him go! I can't, I just can't! Sharon, you need to advise me on what to do to be able to get him back. I can't lose Lucas especially not now”

Fine, maybe I let Lucas slip out of my finger all because of my greediness for money but it doesn't mean I want to lose him. We all make mistakes, right? But I still loved him a lot I guess I do.

“Emily, why not try being friends with his wife? That might work, you know, right? She is also a lady so she would at least understand, right? She would understand if you told her about the pregnancy and how you are sure the child belongs to Lucas”

Sharon has a point. Ladies always have a soft spot for another lady, right? So I am very sure that she would understand me perfectly.

Now I should start thinking of ways to become friends with Lily and probably manipulate her into getting back Lucas for myself.

But how do I start? I don't even know anything about this lady and she probably hates me right now. Well, the feeling is mutual. I also do not like her one bit.

“Sharon, you know I tried searching for her on the Internet but there is nothing about her at all. It is more like she doesn't even exist. What sort of lady is that? I am sure there are a lot of things about her that I would like. She seems like a very interesting lady to me, and I am sure that she is”

“Should we go to Lucas’s house you will need to act pitiful immediately after you see her. I am sure she would take pity on you. Imagine her telling you to stay in the house with them! Girl, you will definitely get your man back”

“But his Nana hates me so much. Yesterday I had to look out for Nana before I stepped into the house because she would have had me thrown out. That I am sure of”

His Nana never really liked me because according to her I lacked manners. Lucas Nana is just very old-fashioned. She expects me to always smile and never press my phone whenever I am close to her. Why? That was in the past. Now young people are allowed to also have fun even in front of adults.

I promise myself today that I will get Lucas back. I will and I must no matter the extent I have to go to. His wife or Nana I won’t let any of them stop me because Lucas is mine.

I walked out of my room and out of my house. I called my doctor on my phone and he answered quickly.

“Hey, doc. So what did the result say?”

“Emily, I told you countless times, right? You are not pregnant. It was a sharp pain in your stomach and that was all that it was nothing more”

“What do you mean by I am not pregnant? Doctor please check again I need to be pregnant! My life will be completely ruined if I am not pregnant, please!”

“Emily, do you want me to lie to you? Stop acting like a child, okay? You need to come to the hospital so I can run a full body check-up on you. I think there might be something wrong with your womb”

“What did you say? Are you trying to insult me? What do you mean by something is wrong with my womb? Doctor, please tell me you are joking?”

“Emily, I have no time for jokes, okay? You know how busy I get. If you are going to come then tell me so I can create time for you, alright? Emily, you have used several kinds of pills and it might just be coming to taunt you right now. I warned you countless times”

Oh, what do I do right now? Where do I go from here?
