All Chapters of Unintended Bride : Chapter 41 - Chapter 47

Liam's POVThe lights flashed on my face, my eyes slowly opened and closed back, before fluttering again, adjusting to the light. Birds chirped and my vision closed in, the white ceiling coming into view, bolder. I turned my head and saw the IV line connected to my arm, looking downwards, my fingers flinched and a blonde hair rested next to it. That didn't add up. I lifted my body slowly upwards and immediately regretted it. She woke up. Anya's sleepy eyes met mine then grew wider. "Liam!" She cheered and moved her hand to touch me but my brows furrowed warning her not to dare. She paused but kept talking and I wished she would shut up. "Are you okay? I was here all night. You passed out..."I cut her short. "Where's Nina?" Anya's face turned into a scowl. I shouldn't have bothered and tugged at the IV as I stood up. Anya rushed to me. "You can't.

Nina's POVThe kitchen smelled like lemon and bleach. I was wiping the same spot on the table for the third time when the front door clicked. It was Frida. She came in with two grocery bags in one hand and a small padded envelope in the other. Her eyes went straight to me, then to the envelope.“The mail came in and I got them out,” she said, setting the bags down. “This one’s for you.”My hands stilled on the cloth. For me? Nobody knew I was here. Except…I dried my hands on my sweatpants and took them. It was light. My name wasn’t on it. Just _N. Hale_. A safe house name we’d picked two weeks ago.I ripped it open. First was a small box with earrings, hoops, and simple fake gold studs and a note in Frida’s handwriting. “For doctor visits. You deserve something pretty.”The next gift was a card and I opened it to see it was a booked appointment. A card from St. Mary’s Women’s Clinic. Antenatal Appointment. July 30th. 10:30 AM.
