Fernando’s POV The moment Bethany uttered those words, I instinctively glanced at Helen whose stare was rooted into space.Her hands were also tremoring badly and the sorry sight of her made something worse than guilt curl around my throat."Go and sit down, my dear," Mother said do Bethany who was gently caressing her stomach with a shit eating grin on her face. "You shouldn't be stressing yourself in this condition."Bethany nodded, darted me a flirty smile and turned to do as mother said, and the guilt churning within me transformed into vitriolic anger tinged with venomous hatred."Get the hell back here!" I spat, and she froze as the grin on her face disappeared. "Who the fuck do you think you are to barge into my house and act like a queen?""Stop yelling at her, Fernando," Mother glared at me, as Bethany came to stand beside her again. "She's carrying your child and my first grandchild for heaven's sake. Do you w-"Her statement riled me up and I shook my head fervently while

Helen’s POV Today was finally d-day.As in the day that the real truth would come to light.The day I would know if Ethan was getting a step sibling.And I was more than anxious.Hell, I was on the verge of a great panic attack as I sat in front of my dresser mirror, my hands clammy with sweat and tremoring with trepidation.Fernando was currently in the bathroom while Ethan had gone to school.Roman had traveled back to Italy to work things out with his beloved, two days ago, which meant that I had no one to rant to.Despite the fact that Fernando had reassured me on multiple occasions that everything would turn out well, I just couldn't help the sinking feeling of uncertainty that had built a home in my heart.I hated the feeling so much.I hated feeling so lost and scared like a sick puppy.Fernando didn't say it but the way he stared at me with so much sadness in his eyes nowadays, made me feel so pathetic.But I guess I just couldn't help my feelings."Petal, are you coming with

Helen’s POV "Come here, baby," I muttered, whisking an angry Ethan away from sperm donor before he could lay his filthy hand on my son.It wasn't like I would stand by if that happened though, I was merely taking safety measures."I see you got a miniature bratty version of yourself, huh?" Janet spat, and that sparked a bomb in my head.I was done being calm and composed.I was done with both my sperm donor and his wife's entitled selves."Get out," I spat. "And you have just three seconds to do so, before I call security to fling you out, you shameless hags. You've never cared about my wellbeing once in your lives yet you have the fucking audacity to come here and try to make it seem like I'm the bad guy here, huh?""Mummy said a bad word," Ethan squeaked, but I ignored him.Now wasn't the time to play along to his call out."You heard her, right? Or are your ears just for decorating your head?" Fernando bellowed from beside me, as he intertwined our hands together."Even you Fernan

Helen’s POV"Thanks a lot for honoring my invitation," Fernando's mother uttered as the three of us stepped into opulent sitting room.Just like the one at our place, it looked luxurious yet minimalistic.The dark brown coupled with notes of a creamy pastel color complemented each other really well.A grand piano was at the right corner of the room, with a black and white picture of Fernando and Roman hung above itThe both of them looked really cute in the picture and couldn't be more than seven and ten years old respectively.Seeing the picture made me realize how our son had a striking resemblance to him, even though he still had most of my facial features.You could say Ethan was a perfect blend of Fernando and I.I wouldn't lie though, the whole atmosphere was so awkward as I shifted my weight from one feet to another."It's fine, ma'am," I managed to smile as Ethan tugged at my hand."Are you her friend now?" He whispered but in the quietness of the room, it was loud."Ethan, be
