SETH’S POVI woke up the next morning and left without saying anything to her. She was still sleeping and I didn’t want to wake her up. I also felt she might not even want to see the person taking advantage of her for his own gain. And I also had no intention of sticking around for small talks. We were not married neither were we in love. After I left, I instructed the maids to take proper care of her and prepare her for breakfast. I had also informed the cook to prepare the best breakfast for her that morning so that she won’t feel worse after what happened last night. I was gentle while we were having sex and I tried my best not to make her feel uncomfortable, but I could see in her eyes disgust and hatred she had towards me. I won’t blame her after all I was only using her to achieve my goal and there is no love between us.I went into my room and showered preparing myself also for breakfast with her, My mind still kept wandering to last night and I found myself desiring to spend m
SETH'S POV The next day morning at the dining table I observed that she, twirling her spoon in her oatmeal, her mind obviously distracted. I looked at her closely trying to find what she was thinking and realised it was what she was trying to find out last night. I was pissed that she almost put herself in danger again. Her curiousity was getting me more pissed and i needed to cut her wings of curiosity before it can fly and endanger everyone in the mansion. I then spoke with anger laced in my voice. "Don't do anything foolish, Lotus," I warned her, eyes boring into hers. "Your actions could destroy not only me, but everyone in this mansion."I could sense she got scared by my words and the intensity of my words. Obviously wondering how i knew what she was thinking and wondering if i had been watching her every moves the whole time.Before she could say anything, I continued, "I was informed of your curiosity about the locked room by the maid who attended to you last night. Let me m
Lotus PovI woke up one morning feeling uneasy, my body aching and my stomach churning. I had been feeling sick for a few days, but today was worse. I dragged myself out of bed and stumbled to the bathroom to relieve myself. I splashed my face with cold water and tried to compose myself. But the dizziness didn't stop, and I found myself retching into the toilet bowl.After a few minutes, I managed to steady myself and walked out of the bathroom. I was about to lie down on the bed when the I heard a knock on the door. It was Dr. Steven, I wondered why he was here.He greeted me with a kind smile and asked how I was feeling. I told him about my condition, and he immediately started examining me. He took my temperature, checked my pulse, and listened to my breathing. After a while, he gave me a look of concern.Seth, who had been cold and distant towards me, was suddenly worried about the baby. Dr. Steven had revealed to him that my pregnancy was high-risk and that my sickness was a resu
*Lotus POV*I was at a loss for words, my mind racing with fear and confusion. What had the doctor found? And why did he need to involve Seth? I knew that my relationship with him was complicated, to say the least, but I had hoped that our child would bring us closer together. Now, it seemed that everything was falling apart.I waited anxiously for Seth to arrive, trying to keep my composure as Dr. Steven paced around the room. When Seth finally walked in, he looked at me with a mixture of concern and confusion. "What's going on?" he asked, his voice low.Dr. Steven wasted no time in explaining his findings. "Lotus's pregnancy is in a high-risk," he said gravely. "The baby's DNA is causing complications that could put both her and the child in danger."My heart sank at his words. Was the baby really a threat to my health? And what did he mean by the baby's DNA was causing complications? I didn't know much about vampire genetics, but I knew that the child would be unique.As the docto
~Seth's Pov~The sound of retching from the bathroom awakened me up. My body felt fine, but I was aware that Lotus had been unwell for a few days. I couldn't help but be furious at her for being so frail and unable of dealing with a simple pregnancy. I was sitting on the bed when I heard a knock on the door. It was Dr. Steven who called.I nodded and observed him as he inspected Lotus. He gave me a concerned look and informed me that the pregnancy was high-risk and that Lotus was experiencing issues. I couldn't help but be upset with her for endangering herself and our child.My heart fell as Dr. Steven presented the issue to me. I couldn't handle thinking about losing my child. I turned to him and demanded to know what we needed to do to protect the safety of our child. Lotus, according to Dr. Steven, needed to be continuously monitored because there was a high danger of miscarriage or premature birth.My thoughts drifted to Lotus, and I couldn't help but feel cruel towards her. How c
Seth's PovAs I walked into the laboratory, I was met with a sense of apprehension. Dr. Steven was standing in the middle of the room, his expression grave. Lotus was there too, her eyes fixed on me with a mixture of fear and uncertainty. I knew that something was wrong, and I could feel the tension in the air."What's going on?" I asked, my voice low and controlled.Dr. Steven wasted no time in explaining the situation. "Lotus's pregnancy is high-risk," he said, his tone grave. "The baby's DNA is causing complications that could put both her and the child in danger."My mind reeled at his words. Was our child really a threat to Lotus's health? And what did he mean by the baby's DNA causing complications? I knew that Lotus's pregnancy was already complicated, given our unique situation, but this was something else entirely.As the doctor suggested terminating the pregnancy, a sense of anger and protectiveness washed over me. This was our child, and I would do anything to keep it safe.
~Seth's Pov~ I decided to surprise Lotus with a weekend excursion to a remote cabin in the woods one day. I knew she was sick and stressed, and I figured a change of environment would be beneficial. I reserved the cabin months in advance, making certain that it was completely equipped with all of her favorite snacks and sweets. I even hired a personal chef to make all of our meals so she wouldn't have to. I could see Lotus's tension dissipate as we drove down the winding road that led to the cabin. With thick trees on either side of the road and the odd view of a peaceful lake, the scenery was stunning. Lotus's eyes expanded in astonishment as we approached the cabin. It was a lovely log cabin with a wraparound porch and a breathtaking view of the lake. The lodge was comfortable and rustic on the inside, with a roaring fire in the stone fireplace and comfy couches that invited you to fall into them. Despite the picturesque surroundings, Lotus' nausea and weakness continued. She spe
Lotus POVAs we drove down the winding road that led to the cabin, I couldn't help but feel grateful for Seth's thoughtfulness. He knew I had been feeling sick and stressed lately, and this weekend getaway was just what I needed. The scenery was breathtaking, and the peacefulness of the woods was a welcome change from the noise and chaos of the city.When we arrived at the cabin, I was immediately impressed. It was a beautiful log cabin, with a wraparound porch and a stunning view of the lake. Seth had made sure it was fully stocked with all my favorite snacks and treats, and he had even hired a personal chef to prepare all our meals so that I wouldn't have to lift a finger.Despite the idyllic setting, I couldn't shake off the nausea and weakness that had been plaguing me for weeks. I spent most of my time lying on the couch, wrapped in a blanket and sipping ginger tea. The personal chef's delicious meals went mostly untouched, and even the sight of my favorite snacks couldn't tempt m
