BLESSING IN DISGUISEStacy’s pov“What was that?” I said to myself, I could not understand why Callum was so desperate to know what was going onAfter the event at the clinic with Sonya, I decided it was best to just respect her decision and not say a thing to Callum. I did not want to bring more misery to my friend.I felt bad for telling him anything to start with.“I am sorry Callum, but I can’t tell you more” I said to myself as I pulled into the parking lot of Sonya’s parents house.I got in and found no one. “Where is everyone? ” I said to one of the maids who took care of the house.“Oh miss Stacy, miss Sonya was rushed to the hospital” my heart raced from what she said.I reached for my phone in my bag but could not find it, then I recalled leaving it in the car.I dashed out immediately, heading to the car. I started the ignition and picked up my phone from the passenger's seat. The number of calls I had missed from Sonya’s mum made my heart race.I drove as fast as I could
A HUNCH As soon as the kids left, she turned towards me, her gaze fixated on mine“ What was that about?” She asked, glaring.I dropped my cutlery aggressively, turning my gaze towards her“Why did you have someone go after Sonya” I yelled,“I saw him last night and I saw your text” I added, now pacing around the room.“I didn’t send anyone to hurt your precious ex wife Callum” she yelled, walking towards me as she glared.“Why are you so defensive of her? You can never have her back Callum; you are married to me” she added.“I sent my men to trail you, why were you following her Callum, your infidelity will be the end of your I assure you Callum” She added and stormed out.I started into thin air.Did Amanda find out about what happened between Sonya and II suddenly went silent, watching her yell in front of me but I was distracted. All I could think about was the fact that she had found out about Sonya and I and she probably wanted Sonya out for it.“Amanda I am sorry!” I blurt
BLACK OUTCallum’s POVSonya stood right in front of me, I was shocked, I had not expected to see her here let alone drunk. I was still in my conflicting thoughts when her hands ran through my face. She hit me in the hardest way possible, but it didn’t matter, I immediately knew that whatever brought her to the bar had something to do with me.I looked behind her, my eyes scanning through the streets but there was no one there. I could have sworn I saw someone push her door shut violently. I had dashed into the scene to help the lady in distress but was shocked to see Sonya.“ don’t you get it, stop following me” she glared at me.“I wasn’t, I promise” I said, “Why did you have so much to drink” I asked, making her stable as she struggled to stand still.“You don’t get to care now Callum,” she shoved me away as she got in the car, driving off.I stood still, watching as her car headed down the streets, I could not help but feel sad for her. Every cell of my being wanted to follow h
DISARRAY Sonya's povI sat still in the car, waiting nervously for Stacy to return. She had gone to get the doctor to attend to me in the clinic.I could not believe I was right before an abortion clinic to terminate my pregnancy.When I decided to come home to LAS Vegas, I did not think things would turn bad this quickly.A part of me felt guilty, I told my parents nothing about the baby growing In me. I thought about Callum and how disappointed he would be if he ever found out about the child.“It will be long gone by then I said to myself,” robbing my hands on my stomach.I looked up and saw Stacy coming.“Let's go in?” she said as soon as I got out giving a smile that did not get to her eyes.I could tell she didn't want me to push through with my plans, but there was no way I was going to have a child for Callum, not after what he has put me through in the past.I took a deep breath and I walked in, savouring the environment of the clinic. The faces of women like me also there f
GUIDED HINTCallum’s Pov.The banging sound of the speakers from the club made my head spin, but I didn't mind. I just wanted to have enough liquor to keep my mind off the fact that Sonya chased me away.I had decided to give her space after our last encounter at the event. I took my seat before the bartender as he tossed a cup of my favorite liquor to me. I chugged that down at once, signaling to him to bring more.My mind drifted to how I had sneakily given her my card with a note at the back. A large part of me had been hoping she would call me to give news about Sonya but I got nothing.Days passed, weeks turned into a month and it was still no news from her. I knew she was still in LA but I could not bring myself to go see her. The thought of her despising my mere presence made my chest tighten in pain.After drinking to my Fill, I staggered through the crowd, finding my way to the car when my phone vibrated in my pocket. I picked it out, “Amanda” was sprawled across the screen.
FRIENDS KEEPERStacy’s pov.I took a deep breath, bracing myself before walking into the building. I only saw Callum once when Sonya and I first got to LA, and they did not seem to get along.I recalled how Callum had slipped me his card and the note behind it the night after that event. “He has to care for her” I said convincingly to myself as the memories flashed in as I walked through the door.There was no way I was going to let Sonya do something she was going to regret later on. The only person I was sure could talk her out of it was him. ( Callum)“ hi, I greeted” smiling at the blonde lady before me. “Good day ma’am,” she greeted back, her eyes trailing down my body.“Is Mr Peters in?” I blurted out. “Who is asking?” I heard from behind me before the lady could respond.I paused in my tracks, startled as I turned around. I had been so careful I did not want to be seen by anyone except Callum. I just really needed to come over to Callum and tell him by myself.“Pls don't
TROUBLED MINDI knew Sonya was going to get the child removed, I was so worried for my friend and I knew there was no stopping her.Oddly, I didn't get a response from Callum when he finally answered the call.“Sonya is pregnant, and she is going to have it terminated. Callum you have to stop her” I said with urgency.But the call was put to an abrupt endI was perplexed, Callum would never ignore anything that had to do with Sonya, especially a case like this. I purposely waited till night time to reach out to him and I had made sure it was my private number to avoid our call being discovered.“Oh, maybe he thought it was someone playing pranks” I said to myself, my brows in a knot as I wondered what could have gone wrong.I could not call Callum with my personal line, I was scared Sonya would find out.I had to think of other ways to reach him and fast.~~~~~~~~~~~ The Peters mansion.Amanda’s POVMy heart dropped from what I had just heard. How could Sonya be pregnant with Callim
NEVER AGAINI made my way into my room as soon as I got home, I was thankful no one was there to question me. Jamming the doors behind me, I pulled out the strip. Everything seemed to pause around me. I gazed intently at the piece of material that was keeping me from the truth.I took a deep breath, pulled out the strip and had my urine in it. I paced around the room nervously as I waited for the results to be ready.“PREGNANT” was boldly written on the small screen below the strip.It fell from my hands as soon as I saw the results, my chest suddenly began to tighten as I gasped for air.The walls felt like they were closing in on me. I was certainly doomed, I had not heard from Callum since I last saw him at the even,“How could this happen?” I yelled, pushing my toiletries in frustration as I came crashing down to the floor.I had no idea what I was going to do about this child,“What's going on here” Those words startled me, it was Stacy. I dashed towards her, pulling her in for
THE WORSE NEWS 2I opened my eyes to the glimpse of a doctor and my mum, I couldn't make sense of whatever it was they were discussing.“ Ah thank goodness you are up” mum exclaimed, she caught me steering.“ you silly girl, I told you not to go to the concert,” she scolded as she sat next to me.“ I am sorry mun” I pouted.At that point I wished I had not been in my parents house when I fell sick. I did not like the idea of them having to worry about me so much. I was their only child and so when it comes to matters concerning me, worry was their natural companion. Especially my mum.“What did the doctor say?” I asked, looking intently at Mother.“Don't bother about that Sonya” she said, averting her gaze.“ We should focus on getting you better,” she added, leaving the room.I lay still in bed, looking at the awning. I felt nostalgic, remembering how I had been alone in the hospital for three years after I had my miscarriage.I recalled just how hurt I had felt from the loneliness a
