Chapter 3 C3

"How dare you!" Amelia exclaimed and lashed out on her husband. She crossed the distance between them and hit him on the chest multiple times. She was crying not because she's helpless but by the anger Andrew had evoked deep inside of her. "How dare you question my pregnancy?"

"Of course this child is yours!"

How dare he accuse her of infidelity and now about the truth about their child's paternity? Of course the child belongs to no one but he is! How can Andrew be this cruel? It's an entirely different thing when Andrew brought that horrible question. Any mother will result to violence to protect her child's interest.

He's the worst, she told herself as she got to meet his cold blue eyes. The Andrew she knew will never raise a hand towards her. And he will never make her feel this miserable, helpless in his arms.

Andrew grabs both her arms with one hand then almost choke her with the other. Tears kept shedding from her eyes as she glared at her husband's face. Gone was the love she once saw in those eyes. The man in front of her was never her husband.

"How sure are you that that bastard is mine?" Then he pushed her harshly. Amelia saw everything like a slow mo in front of her.

She had never regained her balance and she hit her belly hard on the edge of the table. Amelia instantly felt that sharp pain inside of her. She didn't want to think negatively. She tried to remain cool, to control her breathing and not to panic. But then Amelia felt something gashed out of the middle of her thighs and when she looked down, she was beyond horrified.

Fresh blood was flowing down her thighs that she felt dizzy. She felt weak, her knees turned into jelly and she fell onto the floor.. She wanted to scream. She wanted to do more to save the child inside of her. But then she turned to her husband as she held herself.

As if Andrew was also surprised to see her state. He was staring at her and doing nothing at all. Not until she screamed for help.

"Andrew, our baby!" Amelia begged Andrew to save them. She looked up to her with her eyes filled with hot tears. Andrew came back to his senses and immediately carried her up and get her out of the office.

She lost consciousness in his arms and was not aware what happened next.

~*~

Andrew carried her out of his office and shouted to all the helpers to prepare his car. Soon, all their guests are asking so many questions that he cannot face right now. The whole mansion turned into chaos. The gender reveal party was canceled. And Auntie Mel and the rest of the helpers controlled the crowd as he made his way towards his car.

He needed to get Amelia to the nearest hospital as she's suffering bleeding, the result of his violence towards his wife.

It wasn't supposed to end that way. He just wanted to confront his wife. Maybe he went too far. He was-

Just pray that Amelia and the child got out of danger. That's all you can do as of now...

He drove the car as fast as he could. He looked at his side and Amelia was still unconscious. Then his eyes once again saw the blood in his thighs. He gnashed his teeth and even drove past on the road. He can deal with the cops later for overspeeding. What mattered most was Amelia and the child should be treated and be out of danger.

It didn't take long and they arrived at the hospital. He carried his wife to the emergency room and the medical staff already attended to them. Even if he wanted to stay inside, he was rushed out of the room by the staff. Andrew remained waiting outside, in panic and in fear.

He can't sit while waiting for any news about his wife. He was anxious, kept walking in the hallway while talking over the phone. His parents and in-laws are asking for any update. And they even said that they'll come over as soon as they can.

He clenched his fist as he leaned on the white wall just beside the emergency room. He knew that it was his fault entirely. He was looking at the red light thinking what he had done earlier. Andrew knew that he had been a mad man. That he was blinded by his rage that he forgot that his wife was a pregnant woman. But could he really blame himself the way that he had acted before?

The moment that he saw those photos, everything became just pitch red.

David, his childhood friend, told him that morning that his wife was committing infidelity. He didn't want to entertain such blasphemy towards his wife but when that bastard sent the photos to him, he lost it. He couldn't bear the sight of seeing his wife having fun inside of another man's arms.

He knows that he should've listened to Amelia first. He knows of that fact. But then he couldn't accept that his beloved wife would see another man beside him. At that heated moment, he was all over the edge that rational thinking didn't occur to his mind.

The photos say it all and Amelia still denied it. How can she deny it when the proof was before his eyes?

David said someone just sent those photos to him in an email. He didn't really pay attention as Amelia came inside his office. And Andrew couldn't contain himself and hit his wife the first time in their duration of marriage.

David was someone who knew his relationship with Amelia very well. His friend witnessed everything. He loved Amelia since he could remember. And it pained him to know, to witness his wife's affairs.

His chest tightened.

All those years, he never loved anyone except his wife. And he was the happiest man on earth that after all the years of waiting, finally, they'll be going to be parents. That Amelia was pregnant with his child. And now, everything fell into ruins.

The family that he longed for turned out to be his nightmare. A tear escaped his eyes as he remembered those photos. He still can't believe that his wife had an affair with another man. How can he not know of that fact?

When did it all start? Where did they commit their sin? Is that the reason why his wife was always happy whenever he got back home late at night? Was she meeting this man somewhere else?

Betrayal. Andrew wiped off those stubborn tears from his face. He never thought that Amelia would do this to him. To him, Andrew Thompson, the CEO of the Golden Empire Development Group!

"You don't make me a fool, Amelia," he said to himself with gritted teeth. "You don't make Andrew Thompson a fool!"

After almost long hours of waiting, finally the doctor came out of the emergency room. The doctor turned his way as he approached her.

She removed his mask and made a quick introduction. "Are you the husband of Mrs. Thomposon?"

His jaw hardened. Ah yes, he's indeed the husband of Amelia Alvarez Thompson. "Yes, I am, Doctor."

"How's my wife and my child?" He asked her but deep inside Andrew will never bring up someone else's bastard.
