Chapter six: Broken

Dr Felix there has to be something you can do,” i whined.

My heart raced , panicking , as I thought of what Derricks blazing reaction would be to this new outcome.

But he gave me a gentle tap on my shoulder and pulled out a cheque, issuing a refund.

“Nothing ?” I asked.

Suddenly i felt my hands fisting by my sides. The emotions had switched from a melancholic plea to rage.

Who the hell was this billionaire and why was he particularly interested in my operation? I thought out loud.

“Well, again, I'm very sorry mrs Derrick, but we don't disclose property information.

. “Especially, the ones who specifically indicate their choice of secrecy.” He said, scribbling on a piece of paper.

“At the cost of my operation, how charming.” I said, lacing each word with desired sarcasm.

“I guess i just have to find somewhere else then.”

“Did you say somewhere else ?” Felix chuckled slightly, right before giving me a stern yet sympathetic look.

“Don't you get it Mrs Derrick?,

“the person who does not want your operation to hold, is so powerful and influential that your abortion might already be blacklisted in hospitals all over.”

“So what I'm trying to say is, its of no point making that decision.”

I stepped back abruptly.

My eyelids blinked an unhealthy number of times and left my mouth ajar.

“You must be joking,” i scoffed. “Thats not even possible, i know my rights.” I pointed.

He lifted his wrist to his eye level and shrugged the watch on his wrist.

Furrowing his eyebrows, he faced me. Taking in deep breaths.

“Mrs Derrick,” he paused, “this is a fight you can not win. I assure you.”

“And just a subtle reminder, it is “your” baby we are talking about here.”

I could have sworn that it was the universe working against me and my marriage but what for?

“Well can i at least know whom …” i lifted up my face to ask him more than a thousand questions but he had sooner disappeared Into the crowd already.

Every fibre of me ached to know whom the billionaire was but it appeared hopeless as i scanned the room for Dr Felix's Jet black wavy hair.

Great. I thought.

Derrick hadn't even waited around till a decent time before he left the hospital.

i sighed over my shoulder as the loneliness started to creep in.

And those hands that wrapped around his neck when he shut the door,? Must be one of his new women.

i couldn't help but roll my eyes as I kissed my teeth.

Or was it Fiona?

“…if only drew were here.” I heard myself say.

I gave my forehead a painful smack. Rebecca, get a hold of yourself would you?

Then, i bit my lip solemnly as i struggled to keep drew out of my head.

A part of me desperately wanted to call him, reach out for him to envelope me in his arms and fill my ears with those reassuring words of his.

What was worse was that, i knew if i dialed his number, he would be here in a split second.

But i needed Derrick to be my knight in a shining armor, not Drew.

My palms wrapped around my arms, giving them warmth as i narrowly took the hospital exit door.

One side thought swept through my mind to check the loft where he parked, but the other conflicting part of my mind pleaded with me not to set myself up for the disappointment.

But my legs moved quicker than my thoughts.

and I found myself navigating to the area where the car parked.

Beads of sweat had began to form chains around my forehead with each step i took.

My heart thumped through my chest like they were going to explode, and one instant I made up my mind to head back.

But as I turned, my eyes caught sight of a familiar Dark suv.

My heart stopped. Not just my heart but everything around me drowned out into the background

He waited.

Derrick waited.

Tears threatened to spill from my eyes but I could only gasp for joy.

I knew Derrick. He loved me and thats all that mattered.

I was convinced now that the baby was just the hindering factor. And more than ever, i was determined to remove the baby.

If that was all it took to make him happy.

I would go the ends of the earth to remove it.

I walked around the parking slot so he wouldn't see me approach. A little surprise, just to spark things.

I giggled to myself as i scurried around the corner, hiding behind vehicles till i got to where his car parked.

But It had the keys still dangling at the door.

This was unlikely of Derrick, i thought as i moved to pull out the key from the door. Thinking of all the possible things that could go wrong for leaving your keys that carelessly.

I turned to scan the environment to see if he hung around the premises.

Then, i began to hear muffled sounds through the tinted glass.

I tilted my head sideways, But unsure. So I stepped closer.

With the increase in sound, I jolted back, like i was touched by an electric force.

But then something propelled me to move closer even,

To strain my eyes through the tint.

And all i could see through my blurry eyes and shattered heart was Derricks unmistakable back. burying into a woman with an unmistaken voice.

Trails of sweat ran down his back as his body moved rhythmically, but there were no words spoken.

Just Moaning, slurping, fucking.
