Chapter 3 I'm pregnant for Wayne

I dragged my feet out of the hotel room, my mind spinning as I tried to piece together how I ended up here after leaving Wayne's place. The events were a blur, and frustration gnawed at me. Just then, my phone rang, breaking my train of thought. It was my sister, Bella.

"Big sis," Bella said softly from the other end, "let's meet and have a chat over coffee."

"Really? I don't have anything to discuss with you, so get off my phone," I snapped, the anger from earlier still simmering inside me.

Bella, unfazed, smiled through the phone. "What if it concerns your dear Grandma or your career?"

My eyes widened at the mention of my granny. What is Bella suddenly talking about? "Did you mean granny? I don't have anything to do with the two of you anymore why did you have to mention my granny?" I asked, my voice filled with anger and a touch of desperation.

"Meet me at Barbie Dreams cafe across our neighborhood. I'll meet you there," she said, and then hung up.

I dropped the call, my mind racing. Granny? What could this be about? I hurriedly boarded a cab and left Empress Hotel as if I had never been there, my thoughts now focused solely on my career and what Bella had to say.

I can't say I'm still in love with Wayne but, I still feel the need to go and meet her. I don't know how I got to the hotel or how I end up in the room on the bed alone but I just feel like going to hear Bella out.

My granny took care of me since I was old enough be alone at 12, and since the she had been battling with heart problems without no enough money to send her abroad for her surgery.

My dad can't sponsor her, my only hope was Wayne.

>LUCIAN<

I watched from my window, sipping coffee, as she hurriedly left the hotel. Last night, she had made me feel something different, a feeling I hadn't experienced in ages. I wondered who she was to leave such an impression on me.

Just then, my phone rang. It was Victor. I picked up without saying anything, waiting for him to state his message.

His voice came through gently and in barely audible whispers. "Well, I... I... am sorry. My boys just told me that the lady they brought for you is married, they were just mistaken because she had a small body. It's not intentional, but that girl is wrong. I hope you haven't done anything to her?" he asked.

I squeezed my face in irritation. The girl they gave me was married? Then why did she leave such an impression on me? Why did she looked so gloomy?

"No need," I replied curtly and hung up.

Then called another person, Assistant Peller, my personal Assistant, "Have someone track that lady who was in my room last night and monitor all her movements." I hung up before he could say another sentence.

I must know where she was going in such a hurry, and I have to find out more about her personal information. How can such a young lady be married already? Although she wasn't a virgin but still she doesn't feel like a married person and everything that she said in my room last night left me wondering, "Save me...I have no one"

If she was indeed married, then why did she say that?

>AT THE CAFE<

When I reached the bar, Bella was already waiting for me in the VIP corner. The area was decorated more lavishly than the rest of the bar, and Bella fit right in with her expensive makeup and a diamond necklace that spelled out her name, "BB" representing, Bella Brown. Dancing on her neckline.

She wore a body-hugging pink gown and a pink wig styled in a curly bun.

Seeing me, she smiled and offered me a seat. "Here, big sister, make yourself comfortable."

I glared at her with disdain, rejecting the seat and standing by the table with my arms crossed.

Bella, unbothered, gracefully dipped her hand into her handbag and pulled out a check, placing it on the table.

"Big sister, I know you're older than me and this seems disgraceful, but take this 10 million dollars. I believe it's enough to take care of you for the rest of your life," she said, adjusting her dress.

"I know that your granny's surgery costs too much and you're only depending on Wayne, and now that you have left him..... It's hard for you. With this money, you can have granny's surgery and sponsor yourself to fashion training center and learn your hair dressing, open your saloon, living a good life."

I looked at the check on the table, hissing but saying nothing.

"Sis, let's just be open and frank with each other. I know you understood everything that I said last night, Wayne and I have been in love for the past 1 one year. And I'll love to tell you that I've been tested pregnant and it's for him she said, patting her belly. "I am really pregnant with Wayne's child, and I want to keep the baby."

She held my hand affectionately, with cunning flashing in her eyes. "You have to renounce your marriage certificate with him, or else my child and I won't be recognized as part of the Gregor family."

"You know Wayne is at the peak of his career. Nothing must go wrong. Remember, he's a CEO. So I hope, sister, that you can go to the Gregor family and ask for the engagement to be called off."

I smiled sadly. Even though Bella was running her mouth carelessly, I wasn't really angry at her. Even at Wayne, I am the stupid one that keeps loving Wayne like a fool, and now Bella is pregnant for Wayne. Bella had came to do what I failed at doing.

Facing Bella, I smiled sarcastically. "You're so dumb. All that you're doing here-did Wayne know about it?"

When Bella mentioned her pregnancy, I could tell from her expression and voice that she was not really happy about it. The child was an accident. He is a CEO whose Company could fall anytime with any lame news.

From Bella's expression, I knew she had done this on her own without letting him know she was trying to buy me off.

Bella put on a brave face and countered, "You better know your limits. I am offering you this so you won't lose twice. Wayne is already mine; he can never be yours. So take the money and lose the man. It can never be otherwise."

Listening to her words, my brain clouded like a misty forest. The gravity of what she just said made my eyes widen in fury. How dare she talk to me in such a manner?

Just because she got pregnant with Wayne's child doesn't mean she will get the man. Wayne's mum only wants a grandchild, and I can't produce that, she could still loose the baby too.

Whatever happened between him and Bella was a mistake, his mother mustn't know about this until Bella's pregnancy is obvious.

As if propelled by something greater than me, I raised my hand and slapped Bella. The sound echoed, sending shivers down Bella's face.

Bella held her face and looked up. "Big sister, what-"

Before she could finish her sentence, I slapped her left cheek with even more force than the first.
