CHAPTER 2

Alaric pov:

I watched as Marissa stirred in her sleep. I can’t believe she is pregnant, how dare she cheat on me and carry another man's child. I snorted as she sat up confused and looked around the room, after realizing where she was.

“My baby?” She asked, when her eyes met with mine. I moved closer to her bed.

“ So you knew you were carrying a child for another man, a bastard while you were married to me” .

The thought of her and another man makes me angry, I never loved her but I had married her then she slept around with other men.

“ I didn't sleep with anyone, you have to believe me” she pleaded, still clutching her stomach. I scoff and pin her to the bed, I watch as fear crept into her eyes, she whimpered.

“I had the bastard removed and don't think I will let you go, you still had to pay for what you did to Stella. After I am done with you, you will regret meeting me and everything you have done” I said angrily.

“No, not the baby, you can't harm my baby” she sobbed and thrashing around the bed.

“You can't do that to me, you didn't kill my baby. You wouldn't harm the baby” I heard her say.

I laughed and looked away from her after releasing her, I couldn't afford to look at her, I felt disgusted and I wondered if it was for myself or her.

I walked away from the room and walked to the hospital director's office. I saw Matt behind his desk. Matt is our friend but my best friend from childhood, he didn't support me divorcing Marissa and aborting the bastard or the idea that I am planning to get back with Stella.

“ You know, we could still save the baby,” Matt said while tapping his finger on his table.

“You said it will be fifty-fifty” I retorted,but the truth was I can't stand the idea of her with another man child.

“What about Nova?, she will need her mother. You went too far by letting Marissa sign off her parental rights, Nova is her child too”Matt said with concern,I snorted.

“My daughter will not have a mother who is whore and I will not let that whore near my child” I said, I have made my decision Marissa will surely pay for cheating on me and hurting Stella.

“I still think you should investigate, some one might be trying to frame her you know” he said as he looked at me still tapping his fingers on the table.

“And who would want to frame her? There are pictures and she even admitted it !!” I yelled, I ran my hand on my face.

“Marissa would never do that!”he yelled at me.

“Don't yell at me, I knew you had always loved her, you were obviously jealous when she chose me” I spat.

“Yes, I was and then I was happy for her. But what did she get in return for her love,you are blinded with rage. I swear to God you don't deserve any bit of her” he hollered, standing up. I move closer to him and punch him in the face.

“You bastard, don't tell me what to do” I scream at him, he holds up his arms, showing me he surrenders not wanting to fight.

“I don't want to fight you, even if I want to punch you the hell out of you, Marissa wouldn't want that” he said and went back to sit.

“You obviously cheated on her too, when Stella came back and called you, you ran back to her. Marissa was there to pick your broken pieces when Stella left, she is part of what you are today” he continues calmly, look at me.

“I would have done it myself,” I said, looking away from him.

“No, I don't think you would be able to,” he said, my jaw clenched as I looked angrily at him.

I opened my mouth to say something, and a nurse rushed inside.

“Sorry for not knocking, sirs, the patient in vip ward 203, disappeared” she said looking at both of us, while catching her breath.

“What do you mean disappeared?” Matt asked as he stood up to pick his coat.

“ A nurse went to sedate her, since she has been crying furiously, but when she got there to check on her again, she wasn't there” she explained.

“ What do you mean she disappeared!!” I shouted, I was not done with her yet, I swear to God when I find her..….

“ Have you checked the security camera?” Matt asked as we walked out of his office.

“Yes sir, we already did,” the nurse answered.

“ Go now, ask the security to check inside the hospital and the vicinity” Matt ordered to the nurse, she quickly walked away.

We walked to her ward, but found the bed empty. I checked the bathroom hoping she would be there but it was also empty.

I watched a security guard walk into the office later, he said, everywhere has been checked, but no sign of her. She fucking disappeared.
