“Sorry?!” Beatrice mumbled, trying to come to terms with all that was going on.“I don’t understand what you are talking about.”“Don’t you dare play dumb with me! I’m Daniel’s girlfriend. I’m the one he is going to get married to. You must be silly if you think You can come from your filthy background and take him away from me.”“I don’t know what you are talking about. I’m not with Daniel and you are definitely talking to the wrong person.”“Don’t you dare try to act smart, Beatrice! I know who you are and what your dirty intentions are?”“I’m sorry you don’t know me because if you do, You would know that Debock is the last person on my mind right now and the last person that I want to have anything to do with.”“Hold it back, I’m not done talking,” Bea said when She was about to interrupt.“It’s not my fault that you like him and you can’t tame him. Instead of stalking me here, shouldn’t you direct your energy to Debock and ask him why he wouldn’t leave me the hell alone?”“You try

“My eyes twitch due to other unrelated reasons. I don’t know where your thoughts are coming from but I’m not pregnant.”“We had sex, Bea.”“Yes, we did and I made sure I took my pills when I came back home.”“Why would you do that?” Daniel suddenly rose to his feet looking furious.“Beatrice tried not to get carried away by the pain she saw in his eyes.“What do you mean? I had sex with you against my will and you feel I shouldn’t protect myself?”“What’s there to protect? Stop being naive Beatrice, there’s no way I would ever hurt you!”“Oh really? You expected me to trust you after taking advantage of me?”“Please stop with this word! I have apologized to you severely for this. I may be a bad person but not anymore. What more do you want from me?!”“That’s the point, I want nothing from you. Just stay the hell away from me!”“I still don’t believe you, Bea. Just tell me the truth. I may have been cruel to you but I’m deeply sorry. I promise I’m going to change. Please just give me t

Finally deciding that this was probably a terrible idea and that she should have listened to her mind, Bea decided to take her leave.“Don’t leave me hanging. You saw that I was busy before you came in and I had to pause everything for you. Why are you here? What do you want?” Daniel’s voice came through.Slowly turning around, Beatrice could see that Daniel was already on his feet. He was starting to come closer to where she stood and her heart started beating fast. Bea was still allergic to certain smells and hoped that he wasn’t putting on a cologne that was going to churn her stomach again.“I want to discuss something with you.” She voiced out, hardly looking him in the eyes.“I’m all ears.” He came to a halt about three steps away from her. Tucking his hands in his pockets.Beatrice sighed internally. She had no idea it was going to be this hard to form proper words.“Look, Bea, if you are here to make me feel more terrible then I would suggest you take your leave.”“The baby is

Daniel picked up his wallet from the desk after which they both exited the office. They weren’t holding each other’s hands or really walking closely but the staff could not stop taking glances at them.The driver drove the car to the front of the office building. Before he could come down to open the door for them, Daniel opened the door to the backseat for Beatrice. She thanked him before making her way in after which Daniel proceeded to the other side and helped himself in. The duo occupied the back passenger seat with an evident space in the middle while the driver drove.The ride to the hospital was a very quiet one except for the times that Daniel attended to three work calls. Beatrice occupied herself with her thoughts and after what felt like a very long journey, they arrived at Wallis Hospital. The biggest private hospital in the country, also known to have the best Doctors. Daniel couldn’t be happier that the ob-gyn was a woman because he was already thinking of how to battl

Once She was out of his sight, Daniel went back into the car and told the driver to take him to the office.Halfway through the ride, his phone rang and he answered“Oh my God, Dan!!!! I just got off the phone with Mom and I honestly do not know what to say.”For some unknown reasons, Daniel found himself blushing, instead of feeling sad that his mother extended the news to his sibling when he had hardly digested his new reality.“Congratulations!!!”“I wish I was with you now so I could hug you.”Daniel smiled.“You are being sweet. Shouldn’t I be suspicious?”“Oh, come on. This is great news. I know you to be a bully and probably an asshole but I can’t keep calm when I hear great news.”“We were all worried about you, Dan. Most especially Mom. The way you were burying yourself with work after the rejection. We’ve seen you go through phases of distancing yourself from the world but this was the scariest.”“One of the reasons I couldn’t say anything at the wedding was because I was s
