THE PREGNANT GIRL AND THE RUTHLESS HEIR Chapter 186
KumbaThe silence in my mother's hospital room felt heavier than anything we'd said.Dr. Valentina had left us alone after explaining the diagnosis. The words still echoed inside my head.Advanced liver failure, she had advanced liver failure and I was having difficulty understanding that, there were medications, lifestyle changes, supportive treatment. But there was no miracle waiting around the corner and the damage had already been done.I looked at my mother and she seemed so much smaller than I remembered.Not because she had physically shrunk but because the woman who had always seemed invincible didn't anymore.She sat quietly on the edge of the hospital bed, absentmindedly twisting the blanket between her fingers.For the first time in my life she looked frightened and I hated it."You have been through enough for one lifetime." I said quietly and she smiled sadly."I have earned every bit of it.""No." I shook my head "We are done talking like that."She looked away."I don't

GesareHospitals had become a second home to me by now, and I normally I hated it, every corridor held a memory, every waiting room reminded me of bad news and every doctor carried the possibility of changing our lives with a single sentence.As Kumba intertwined his fingers with mine while we walked toward the maternity unit, I squeezed his hand a little tighter."You okay?" He looked down at me.I forced a smile "I think so.""You don't sound convinced.""I'm trying not to be scared."He stopped walking right there in the middle of the hallway.Before I could ask what he was doing, he gently tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear."You don't have to be brave every second of every day." His voice was soft. "You know that, right?"The lump in my throat grew "I just" I looked away "I keep thinking something is going to go wrong."He immediately wrapped an arm around my shoulders."Hey." I looked back at him "We are here together and whatever happens in there" He kissed my forehead

KumbaThe house had finally gone quiet for the first time all day, there were no doctor's appointments, no medication schedules, no difficult conversations.Lola had fallen asleep halfway through her bedtime bottle, and Gesare had laughed as she carried our sleepy little girl upstairs."I'll be back in a minute," she had whispered before kissing my cheek. "Don't disappear on me." I smiled to myself."I will try."Now, ten minutes later, I stood in the kitchen rinsing the last of the dinner plates while Aya wiped down the counters."I'll finish up, sir," she said, reaching for the dish towel."You have been on your feet all day.""So have you."She gave me a pointed look "And unlike me, you are supposed to be resting."I chuckled."Is everyone in this house determined to boss me around?""Absolutely." She grinned. "And Mrs. Gesare told us to make sure you don't overdo it."Of course she had.I shook my head with a smile and handed Naya the towel."I surrender.""Wise decision."As I wa

Kumba. Dinner was unusually quiet and with every going on it was no surprise. Lola had fallen asleep early after refusing to let either of us put her down all afternoon.Naya had taken Diane her dinner upstairs before quietly disappearing for the evening, insisting we needed time alone which I had arranged. Now it was just the two of us sitting across from each other on the dining table.I watched Gesare push a piece of chicken around her plate for what had to be the tenth time.She hadn't eaten more than three bites and I noticed it was becoming a pattern now, she could barely keep anything down and it was starting to worry me. She seemed quiet and pale, I would catch her staring at me with an expression I couldn't quite understand.Like she wanted to tell me something but couldn't tell me. I set my fork down "Okay."She looked up"What?""I'm calling it."She frowned "Calling what?""Whatever this is." I gestured between us."You have been somewhere else for days now.""I'm righ

GesareI didn’t think I could cry anymore.My tears had run dry hours ago, or so I thought.But the second they placed him in my arms warm, tiny, impossibly perfect I started all over again. He was so much smaller than I expected.His little hands were curled into tight fists, one pressed to his rosy cheek. Dark hair stuck to his damp forehead. His skin was soft as velvet against my chest.And when he turned his face just enough to make a small, hiccupping noise, something in me broke open completely.I forgot the pain.I forgot the fear.I forgot the way my heart had nearly torn itself apart when I realized I’d be delivering him without Luca at my side.Because he was here now.And so was Luca.I looked up from the baby our, baby to find Luca watching me from the chair beside the bed.He hadn’t said much since they’d cleaned our son and tucked him against my chest.He’d just sat there, one hand braced on his cane, the other clenched so tightly on the armrest his knuckles were white.
THE PREGNANT GIRL AND THE RUTHLESS HEIR Chapter 181
GesareHospitals had a smell, a smell I had come to know far too well full of antiseptic and sometimes smelt like coffee that had been sitting too long.It also smelt like fear, It was strange how fear could have a scent.It lingered in waiting rooms, clung to walls, settled into the faces of strangers pretending they weren't terrified.I tightened my grip around the paper cup of coffee in my hands as I stepped through the oncology wing.My heart hammered so loudly I could hear it in my ears.I almost turned around, Part of me wanted to.Part of me wanted to run back to the car and pretend none of this was happening.Because if I walked any farther, I couldn't keep pretending my life hadn't changed but this is where I needed to be, he needed me and I was going to be there for him. I rounded the corner and there he was.He was sitting alone in one of the blue waiting room chairs, elbows resting on his knees, absentmindedly turning his wedding band around his finger.He looked smaller

Gesare. The first thing I noticed when I woke up was how quiet it was apart from the machines humming and the soft murmurs of the nurses talking at the station down the corridor.The second thing I noticed was the pain.It throbbed through my leg like a slow drumbeat, dull but heavy, reminding me

Kumba. When Dr. Valentina called and told me she needed to see me immediately, my stomach dropped because it was never good news when she called. She had been my doctor through every brutal stage of my cancer treatment. If she was asking me to come to the hospital in person, it wasn't for small ta

GesareThe first thing I notice is the sound of machines, beeping around me. A slow, rhythmic sound that seems to echo inside my skull.My eyelids feel heavy, like someone glued them shut, but I force them open anyway. The bright white light above me stings my eyes, making me squint and for a momen

Gesare“Do the test again.” The thin sheet of paper trembles violently in my hands as I stare down at the results, two pink lines“This can't be right,” I whisper, my voice rising into a desperate shout with a tremor. “I can't be pregnant, This has to be wrong.”The nurse shifts uncomfortably beside
