Chapter 21

Aria I had grown used to Zachary sitting with me in my room while I worked. He never asked why I started working from home. He simply stayed close, offering quiet support in his own way, the way he knew best. His presence was helpful, sometimes he gave insights, sometimes encouragements and sometimes he even helped with paper works.Zachary's comment about the change in my physical appearance lingered in my mind, bit by bit my secret was getting close to being uncovered but I wouldn't let that happen unless I permit it. Even though I also noticed the slight changes, my breast was now fuller than the previous, my snatched tummy would soon be close to a pot belly sooner or later.Each day that passed on was a reminder of the limited time I had to sort things.Sort things."Back to earth."

AriaI waited for Zachary the way I always did, most times I didn't even need to wait, I kept glancing at the clock over and over again.Time went by. The sun set and yet there was no sign of him. By evening, I couldn't sit still anymore, loneliness was killing me. I pushed aside the book I had intended to read, stood up, and started walking all around the mansion.

I headed that way, quickening my pace.When I stepped inside, disappointment hit me hard. Athena stood there, not Zachary. Of all the people in this house, she was second on the list of those I least wanted to see.

Zachary I sat with Athena and Aria in the living room, our eyes fixed on the television. It was a weekend, if Athena weren’t here, Aria would have been curled up in my arms.I checked the wall clock again and again. The time crept by. I had no plans to leave the room, though. They had found me here and joined without invitation, so I stayed put. News segments rolled on, one after another. I rarely followed headlines unless they touched business, but today the updates kept my attention. Then one report stood out amongst it all.“Movie star Quinn Valdez seen getting intimate with upcoming actress Cassandra Louis,” the anchor said, images flashing across the screen.My gaze flicked to Aria. Her face stayed blank, like the news meant nothing to her. I watched her closely, waiting for any shift in her expression.“Finally, my son has found someone who will bring home my grandchild,” Athena said, her voice full of mockery as she broke the silence “No one asked you,” Aria shot back.I h
