One night stand was fun and all casual for Beverly. Until she did it with the man she was informed as her stepbrother the next day. She's in a total doom, that's for sure, as she found herself slowly succumbing into their heated temptations, completely being caught in the arms of Atlas Cameron. However, things began to complicate when she discovered how their sexcapades resulted into a little life in her womb. By then, she only got one best option; to keep it hidden from everyone but most especially—from its father.
View More“What are you waiting for? Just do it, Bev.” Hailee kept on convincing me.
I looked at her, apprehensively. “B-But I’m scared. What if-“ Before I could finish my words, she already cut me off.
“Oh come on! It’s normal to feel scared but there’s no point if you’d continue being like this. So, try it now. If you never try, you’ll never know.” She then showed me her warmest smile as she caressed my arm.
Her smile and her soothing voice were too comforting, and she’s really a great convincer—there’s no doubt on that. In the end, I found myself walking inside the restroom with a troubled mind. My heart never stopped beating so loud, it only worsened as I closed the door and sat on the toilet bowl.
It’s as if any minute by now, I’m going to collapse due to the anxiety lingering through my system. I just know I never saw this coming. No one ever did. I just woke up one day and I started feeling the symptoms.
God knows how hard I tried to ignore it and disregard the possibilities. But later on, I still failed. Hailee still found out. She never believed my excuses. For her, I’m such an in denial bitch. Well, I really am. I wasn't clueless. I was just in denial.
But right now, I'm just tired of denying it.
It was only a few minutes after I entered the cubicle yet it felt like eternal for me. Another second passed and I was done peeing. Using my trembling hand, I took the tube out with my pee in it and began to put a few drops on the strip. My heart continued pulsating against my chest as I waited for the result. I feel lightheaded the whole time, and my knees were shaking too.
God. I’m so fucking nervous. But I have no rights to throw questions because in the first place, I was at fault for this mistake. There’s no one to blame but me… and him.
“Oh, my God.” Tears immediately pooled around my eyes. I covered my mouth to contain my sobs. I never blinked while staring at the result before my eyes.
Two fucking red lines. Fucking positive.
I tried the other and the result was just the same. Holy crap...
“Bev? Is everything okay? Are you done?” I heard Hailee behind closed doors.
“Y-Yeah, I’m done! Wait a sec.” My voice cracked as my tears fell more.
Shit. I knew it! There’s always consequences behind every action. I don’t know what to feel. I’m in mixed emotions. I feel overwhelmed, there’s also happiness which I never thought I was capable of feeling again. However, the fear I’ve been feeling remained. It only gotten worse.
“Ugh, thank goodness! I was close to think you fell asleep—Oh, dear. What’s wrong?” Hailee was quick to pull me for a hug after she saw my pale face cascaded with tears.
“I-It’s positive, Hail. I’m gonna be… a m-mother.” I sobbed. She gasped before she made me face her again.
“Really? That’s a freaking good news! What the heck? This is something we should celebrate about! You’ll be entering the motherhood, Beverly!” She exclaimed happily like it’s the best news she ever heard in history.
I just wish I could pull the same reaction.
“What do I know about being a mother, anyway?” What about my career? My handler will surely despise me. Every one of the industry, they’re going to judge me.
“Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. I’m with you,” Hailee held my hands and squeezed them. “And I’m pretty sure, the father of that little thing will also do the same. After all, you both made that. You just have to tell him-“ That’s my cue to stop her from going further. Because apparently, I’ve heard enough.
“There’s no way in hell he’s going to know about this.” I gritted my teeth., my eyes filled with determination. Hailee was giving me a puzzled look. “I’ll raise the baby without needing his presence. I’ll keep it, by hook or by fucking crook.” I declared with finality.
I’ll be the selfish mother if I have to. Because I know very well what kind of a man he is, and now that our heated secret resulted into my own little secret, I’ll make sure he’s the last person who will know about it.
“I’m gonna miss you two again!” I watched Adriana while she was hugging mom and Trevor.“We’ll go now.” I kissed mom on her cheek. She touched my back.“You sure Duke won’t come here to fetch you two?” She asked, a bit bothered. I only gave her a light smile. Mom, if you only knew how “busy” my husband was, that he could barely make time for “his family”.I held Ria and I find it cute that we happened to dress identically today, justifying the fact that she’s indeed my mini-me. As I was about to pull her with me so we could make our leave, rushing Atlas successfully made us halt. I turned to his way, looking so puzzled and at the same time, flushed at his current get-up. He looked so neat and gloriously handsome in those white v-neck polo sleeves and belted dark brown slacks. Two of his polo button were down, exposing a little sight of his bare skin. His hair perfectly combed clean, although a few strand kept on falling on his forehead, touching his thick brows but then, it only comp
What is he doing here?He was standing firmly on my side with wine flute in his large veiny hand. He eyed me then, his brow shot up. I bit the inside of my cheek and cleared my throat.“I don’t actually care.” I gulped the remaining champagne in my glass, gaze shifted back to where Duke was.“So… you’re playing the role of a martyr wife, huh?” Atlas concluded. My grip against the glass tightened a bit.“How can you say so, brother?” I countered with a forceful smile. “Guess you don’t love him that much.” Instead, he concluded once again. It stiffened me in a blink. Now that I returned my eyes to him, I couldn’t seem to take them off his majestic face anymore.“Bro, you’re just too good at guessing, aren’t you?” I put the glass down, turned completely to face him, rested my elbow on the table and stared at him shamelessly.For a moment, something flickered in those mesmerizing pair of his. I’d like to think I’ve really seen a glint of irritation in them and how his expression shifted
I could feel my heart desperately banging my chest. My feet seemed to freeze on the ground, gaze fixed solely on his enticing turquoise pair. Ria ran and then, clung to my arm. Atlas lazily stood up and fixed his tux. “Come on, mommy!” It was too late for me to react because Ria already pulled me close to him!“B-Baby! What are you doing?” I tried to chuckle out of awkwardness plus there was a turmoil going inside my head.“I want to introduce you to him, personally!” she uttered, determination as etched on her innocent face. My gaze softened.“She literally looks like you.” A cold voice spoke. We both looked at Atlas who was still standing, just a few inches away from me.“H-Huh?” Does he… does he remember? About our last conversation? About Adriana—“However, my niece’s just too energetic and talkative. I doubt if she got those traits from you too, stepsis.” The side of his lips slightly tugged up. I felt like I could faint any moment now cuz what did he mean niece? What did he me
A round of applause exploded into the air as his announcement satisfied the guests. Everybody seemed happy, most especially that woman’s family as I could spot their victorious smirks from here and of course, Cameron clan. Some of his cousins met my gaze, I even saw a glimpse of concern in Rainer’s eyes but I quickly looked away, my hands fisted on the sides of my dress.“Wow! So this is the big announcement you were talking about! Your son has a nice taste, I must say!” “Of course, that’s given. He’s my son after all.” Trevor toned proudly.What the fuck is happening? Why is he suddenly... engaged to that woman? Was it possible? Did he happen to realize that he’d fallen for her just because she was the one who stayed by his side when he needed it the most?He already clarified it himself. She was there for him in those dark times, which made me think… did he make her his fiancé because he owed her such effort? Or maybe it was because he really did fall in love with her in a span of
“Bev, I’ll drop the call now. Deal with that.” Hail said in the other line.“Yeah. Bye…” and she ended it. I sighed and set my phone aside before I faced Ria again.She looked so amused while gazing at the television screen, admiring her father’s immaculate features. “I can’t believe he’s on TV right now! Is he somehow popular? And it’s awesome to think he has the same surname as grandpa Trev! Is he a relative, mommy?” continuous questions of the very curious Ria.Now, she turned her head completely to face me, looking so eager to get the answers from my mouth. I felt torn. Silently, I took the remote and turned off the TV. Her expression soured as if she was so ready to complain but chose to stop herself. I moved closely and tucked some strands of her hair that were almost covering her eyes. “Are you really that curious about him, hmm?” “Yes! I feel like he’s an amazing person! Besides, I still owe him this cute huggable stuff!” She giggled as she pulled the teddy bear and tried t
"Really, baby? Where is he?'" I asked, trying to hide the shakiness of my voice. She pouted a bit. "Well, he left already. He seemed in a hurry though."I blinked as I managed to nod my head slowly. She giggled and ran toward the claw machine to show her teddy bear to other kids who were also there to play.“Could it be?” Lancer uttered on my side. I could feel him gazing at me but I kept my head straight to where Ria was.“There’s a big possibility that the man she was talking about was him.” Hailee seconded. I cupped my face as I shook my head, looking so problematic. I could feel their sympathy towards me but that’s less of what I need right now. The moment I saw how Adriana’s face was brightening up while telling us about the man who happened to give her that teddy bear, my instinct told me it was something I must not disregard, something I have to make sure and prepare for.Is it really possible? Is he finally…“Any news from your mom? Or your stepfather?” Hail asked, sounded s
