LORE"She's pregnant."I lift the test again and read the paper in case my mind is playing tricks on me and I'm just seeing things, but no, it's there, the positive on paper, the two lines on the stick.Why would she use a fake surname? Why the hell did she tape the results under the sink?It can only be because of one thing, she's hiding the information from me and she certainly did not want me to find out. I hold them in my hands and start heading for the door, the moment I open it, Mona is also stepping inside the bedroom through the main door.She pauses when she sees me coming out of the bathroom and I see the exact moment she starts to panic. So I was right, she did hide them in hopes that I wouldn't find out.Her chest rises and falls at a quick pace when I slowly stalk her way. I reach close and slowly lift out the hand holding the tests. She stumbles back and her eyes never move from my hand, she stares at them unblinking, unmoving."What are these?" I ask.She breathes hea
LISAWhen Lore walked through the bathroom doors, I had a feeling something was wrong, starting from his rigid shoulders, his dilated pupils and his breathing.When I broke it out to him, I saw something I've never seen in my entire life. I broke that man, I shredded him to pieces and burned him to ash. I've never seen a haunted look as I saw on his face in my entire life.I went after him, I don't know why or what I was going to say to him but my feet carried me to him,to his office, but before i could open the door, i heard him flip off.I should have destroyed those tests but I was feeling sick, so I spent almost the entire day in bed.The sound of his voice and all the shattering of glass is still haunting me until now, I didn't want to sleep but exhaustion took over.Lately, my body has been acting out, which only means one thing, I need to quickly push through with the abortion.I see Lore's car entering the driveway and I stand, frowning. I check the time and it's one in the af
* *Three Months Later* *My belly is starting to show, I'm four months pregnant now. Hillary and Maria helped with the nausea, while Hill made me healthy food, Maria baked me special biscuits that took away the nausea. She said it was her mom's recipe and it helped with her nausea period too.She's now eight months pregnant and the ultrasound confirmed it's a girl, she seems so happy about that fact alone and so is Darien, I'm sure he'll make her a daddies girl. Maria is a fashionista and i know she can't wait to dress her little girl in ribbons, butterflies and fluffy.It so happens that Darien and Maria knew about me and Lore's issues,except the abortion, which i willingly told Maria about. I expected them all to hate me but it's actually the opposite, they all want to take care of me. I'm sure they're doing this because of the baby, Lore's precious gem.The front door opens and the men's voices filter through, we are all at Darien and Marias house. Lore and I have an understanding
LISAFive months down the line, my belly is full out showing now, no one can miss it, so i spend my days away from the public eye as much as i can.When I brought up the idea of maybe going to another town where people don't really know me, Lore slammed the idea right out of my head with a big fat NO. his exact words were,"No. Not a chance, I'm not missing a single day without making sure my child is okay and healthy."The said 'no' came out with a finally that made me immediately back down even though I had previously talked myself into standing my ground on the idea.My eyes meet Asah's in the mirror. I'm in a long black dress that falls loose around my whole body and flat fancy silver shoes. I need to get some air and the only place where I can do that is away from this house, If I do as much as spend another day in here, I might go crazy."I don't think this is a good idea miss, sir Lore is going to be extremely angry when he finds out you left town without informing him."I sigh
LISALore rudely cuts the call on him and bores holes into my eyes with his scorching greys."What does he fucking mean, by 'cancelling your trip'?"He makes sure I hear the stress on the word 'mean'.When I don't answer, his jaw clenches."Where you planning on running away?"Before I answer, Darien's voice is as strained as Lore's when he addresses Maria."And you were planning on helping her fucking do it?" He turns to her and I watch as her lips part without any words coming out of them. Our eyes meet and we both know that we're totally screwed."Darien, I was just trying to help her out while making sure she was safe, at least one of us should know where she'll be.""One of us 'should know'? 'where she'll be'?" Lore turns his attention to Maria before settling back on me."There's no more 'should' or 'she'll be', because she's definitely not going anywhere."He grabs my wrist and takes me out of the room. Hillary and Asah follow us out,closing the door behind them."What the hel
LORELisa has been impossible. For the past one month, the two of us have been dancing around the same rope of fire and...desire, I see it in her eyes, in the way she trembles when i touch her while i feed her or brush my thumb over her lips. At first, I thought I was imagining things but I wasn't. Maria was right, she needed time to feel the baby grow inside of her, to move and attach to her and it's happening. I often catch her rubbing her belly and smiling to herself, but I never for a second miss the fear when she realizes what she's doing, at least i wont have to worry about fearing to tell my child that his or her mother didn't want or love them.I can't put my child through that heartbreak, I was ready to make sure I made he or her feel special and that the absence of a mother doesn't mean they are not loved by many or something is wrong with them. That simmer of care I've seen in Mona towards the baby gave me hope, hope to fight for her to be there for our child even if we d
LISAI can't even begin to explain the pain I felt when that woman called my baby a trap, I know I'm overreacting but that's just how I've been ever since I got pregnant. My feelings have been too high, too obvious and too hard to control. When she touched Lore, I felt an invisible hand wrapping around my heart and squeezing it as if almost to pull it out of my chest, I wanted her off him, away from him. I hate her. I hate her so much. He kisses me and I don't hesitate, I wrap my hands around his neck, drowning, falling and giving in to the kiss. I can't keep lying to myself, I can't keep hurting when I can let go, when i can be happy, when i can live, finally live. I have feelings for this man, feelings that burn like an inferno inside my whole body, if I don't let it out it'll burn me from the inside until it eventually kills me. We pull apart, our foreheads resting against each other as we draw in shallow breaths. My shaky hands go to the back of his neck and I swallow. "
LISA"Chop chop!" Suzana,the head of the house maids claps her gloved hands together. "Everything needs to be perfecto." Fresh flowers are hanging on the shelves as well as the staircases. When papa announced that my twin sister,who is two minutes older than I is to be wedded to the young twenty nine year old Lord,Lore Cavannaugh, everyone seemed to be happy. Well, everyone except me of course,"This is bad,very very bad.""Miss?" Someone addresses me and I turn to find Silas,my best friend watching me with worried eyes."Miss?" I frown. "Why are you calling me that?""You know I'm not allowed to call you by your first name,it'll be an insult to your family and house."I fold my hands over my chest and narrow my eyes."You know I don't give a crap about that,you're my best friend."A gasp sounds behind me and I know it's Suzana,I'm not even allowed to say words like crap because it's not lady like. My father happens to be a Duke,the family title comes from way back generations. Our ho
