Dad started getting suspicious when I chased my security men a few months back and refused to leave campus since then. He did occasionally visit and plant spies on me, but no one would have guessed I was pregnant anyway since I put on some weight and wore extreme oversized sweaters and baggy clothes. No one would have easily guessed, since the belly bump I had was not protruding that much. It looked like I just had belly rolls.I'll not lie, in these past few months I have been miserable. It took a lot from me when I ghosted my friends and family. The only person who knew was Danielle. She was also my professor at this university.She's the only trustworthy person I know right now.
