Chapter 01
I couldn't believe what I just heard. I was seated before the doctor who had just announced my test result.
I turned to my mom, Bella who had an unreadable expression on, but it sure met her with a shock.
How am I pregnant?, Who could have taught the silly mistake that happened could turn out to be the biggest mistake of my life?.
I had always been that girl with so much humility, the innocent 18- year old teen, until my friends convinced me to accompany them to a night club, and I got drunk, and ended up having a night stand with a random stranger.
I took another glance at my mother who was staring into space.
" Hmm " The doctor cleared his throat and mom snapped out of her thoughts.
" Thanks doctor " Mom uttered before making her way out of the doctor's office and her guards trooped behind her.
I stood weakly before walking out of the office, and trailed silently behind my mom, with some guards behind me.
Was this a good news or a bad news?, I never thought the s_x I had with the guy could result into pregnancy?.
First, it was me losing my virginity to him and now I'm having a baby for him!, Why's my life this cruel?!!.
This's gon' cause a big damage to mom's reputation if the media gets a hold of this.
My mom had been preserving her good reputation for years ever since she became a widow.
I wouldn't want her silly mistake to tarnish it, I love my mom so much and it's the same for mom too, as I'm the only child she has, I had always been Bella's favorite.
The look on my mom's face then, in the doctor's office, it was blank, I couldn't read her expression but I knew she must have felt disappointed.
I laid on her bed, rolling from one end to the other. Mom hasn't said a word to me ever since we got back from the hospital and am damn worried.
What's gon' happen now?, Is she gon' make me abort the baby?, No, mom wouldn't allow that?.
But, I can't have a baby with no father!, I don't even know whom the guy is!, I was drunk, I don't know what he looks like.
The door pushed open all of a sudden and my heart skipped a bit.
I stood upright at once and turned towards the door, only to see mom standing by the door with no expression on her face.
" Mom.... "
" Who's the father? " She cut me off with a snap, and I gulped down into nothing as my throat went dry, she has never shouted at me this way.
" Mom.... I .... I ... don't know " I said and I could see the change in her look as her face fell.
" You don't know him ? " She asked as her face softens, and I nodded.
Mom sighed before walking over to me while I moved back in fear.
" It's fine, I'm not gonna hurt you " She said as she sat on my bed.
" How did this happen? " She asked in a low voice but loud enough for me to hear, as she lowered her head, her hands ruffling her hair like she was frustrated.
" I'm sorry mom.... I didn't mean for it to happen!, It was a mistake, I swear " I rushed as tears trickled down my cheeks.
Mom raised her head to me and gave a short smile.
" It's fine, but we've to do something " She said and I bowed my head in shame.
It's all my fault, my clumsiness got the best out of me.
Now, I caused a problem and can't handle it alone, The look on mom made me feel terrible, she looked stressed out, like she was tired, she doesn't know what to do!.
She suddenly got on her feet and I raised my head.
" I'm gon' find out whom he is!, And find a solution to this... Stay safe, okay? " She said, and I nodded slowly.
She patted my hair with a forced smile before walking out of my room.
I heaved an heavy breath before as I laid on my bed.
Mom's trying to make me feel better!, But at the same time making me feel guilty!, Yes, I should feel guilty!, I'm giving her a hard time!, She has always been the best mother one could ever hope for, she made sure I never lacked a thing ever since dad died, gave me everything I could ever need, could give me the whole world.
And this is how I could repay her, a baby with an unknown father!!.
Gosh!, I sniffed in the tears threatening to rush out and held my head so tight.
I feel so bad and guilty!, I'm a disappointment!!!, Mom!!, I'm sorry!!!.
Tears rushed out my eyes as I sobbed silently.
I think I should save mom from the stress!, She doesn't deserve this, she deserves better, I'm just a disappointment!, All this years, she struggled to cater for my news, struggled to get me the best education!.
She had sleepless night cause of me!, She struggled so fvcking hard to get our rights, to claim dad's properties that had been willed to us from his families!, And she suceeded, she got them!!, She put me in the best school, I dreamed of taking over her companies to relieve her of the stress she had been going through, it's just a year before I finish highschool and go to my dream college, but now it's ruined.
I'm hopeless!!, I ruined the great future I had planned together with mom, all cause of a fvcking mistake!.
" Mom!, I'm sorry " I whispered with watery eyes before walking over to my bedside drawer.
I brought out a pen and a paper as tears trickled down my cheeks.
I don't deserve to live!, I'm a disgrace!, I should die!

Chapter 02
I wiped the tears trickling down my face as I finished writing the note, it was evening already and it seems mom should be in her room.
It was a goodbye note to mom, I know this isn't right, but I can't just bring myself to her anymore, I feel like a bastard right now, I betrayed mom!.
I placed the note on the table, before walking out of my room.
I heaved a big sigh as I successfully sneaked out of the mansion without any suspicion, I was lucky to leave without arousing the guards suspicion.
I stared intensely at the enormous mansion before me, this was where my childhood begun, where mom and dad lived together with me before he died, I'm so going to miss it.
I took some few strides backwards, still staring at the mansion before finally turning and I walked away, wiping the tears that was threatening to fall.
I'm really sorry mom, I just couldn't live with the guilt.
I sighed as I stood by the bridge, ready to jump into the water. I heaved a big sigh again as the breeze blew some few strands of hair on my face, rubbing my arms as cold hit me.
The weather is so cold, and I was almost freezing, I guess the water will be so damn cold, I really hope I don't freeze to death.
I chuckled realizing my thoughts were actually dumb, l wanted to die anyways.
I closed my eyes deeply, ready to do the worst, until I heard someone call my name from afar.
I took in a deep sigh as I turned my head my head to the back and there was Lila, one of my friends.
" What the hell do you think you're doing " She yelled as she approached me.
" Why are you here? " I asked lowly.
" You tell me what you're doing here!!, I was coming from a dinner date with Jack " She said and I hissed inwardly, imagine, I'm here full of regrets, regretting every single day of my life, and cursing myself for agreeing with them to go the club.
But here they are, enjoying her love life with her crush while I'm thinking of ways to leave this earth.
" So, what do you think you were about to do?, Don't tell me you were about to jump down this deep river!, Girl, you could die!!! " She said and I scoffed.
" It's none of your business, you don't know what I'm going through right now! " I snapped as I walked over to her car, while she ran after me.
I got into her car and she also got into the driver's seat.
" 'Cause you're pregnant for an unknown guy? " She asked, and I turned to her, I looked away as I bit my lips.
" How did you find out? " I asked and she scoffed.
" Your mom told me " She replied
" Why? " I asked, as I turn my face to her and she raised her brow.
" She asked me how it happened, I guess she's trying to figure out whom the guy is " She replied and ignited the car's engine, before finally driving off in silence.
We both have walked into the mansion and almost immediately, mom rushes to me, she seems worried.
She engulfed me into her arms immediately, kissing my hair as she hugs me tightly.
" Are you okay?, Where were you? " She rushed at once.
" I'm fine mom, I just took a walk outside " I replied and I could hear Lila give a fake cough.
Mom released me and it was then I noticed there were some cops in the living room, and there were staring at me.
Did mom call them here?.
" Thanks so much! She's here now, am very sorry for disturbing you " Mom apologizes to the cops.
" It's fine ma'am, have a lovely night " They replied as they walked out of the living room towards the entrance.
They were finally out of sight when Lila cleared her throat.
" Mom, she actually tried jumping off a bridge " She blurted out and moms mouth open wide open.
" What the!! " She yelled and I sighed.
" Mom, I wasn't going to, okay?... I was just... "
" Just what?!!!, Even if you don't care about yourself, you should care about me!, You're all I've got, you shouldn't try to ruin that cause of a silly mistake, I ain't complaining okay? " She yelled and I could see the hurt in her face
" Mom, I'm.... "
"Hmmm..... I'll take my leave now " Lila said and bowed lightly before walking out of sight.
" Marvy, why would you think of doing that? " Mom asked, as she brushed her hair with her hand, frustratedly.
" Mom, I'm sorry, I know I wasn't thinking right, but then I just couldn't stand you doing all these for me when I did something terrible, it's making me feel guilty, I'm guilty of everything!, guilty of going to a club without your consent!, guilty of losing my virginity to a random stranger and now am pregnant for him!!, This isn't right, it's not supposed to happen!, It's a shame to our name, a shame to dad's name!!!, Mom, it could ruin your reputation!!!, And I caused this!!!, I brought this upon you!!, I'm a disgrace to you!!!!!, And I don't want to be, I hate seeing you worried and now it's cause of me, it's making me feel bad!! " I cried and I heard her release a deep sigh as she pulled me into her arms.
" It's fine, you shouldn't feel bad, I should!, I'm such a bad mother, I don't even know what my daughter's up to, it's my fault!, I've always tried to be a good mother, I never knew I was lacking somewhere!!, It's fine... You'll be fine, I promise you.... "
" I found out whom he is.... " She trailed off

" Mom " I called as I broke the hug.
" You... " I trailed off and she nodded.
" Yeah, I did, it's fine, we're meeting his parents tomorrow, so you should go to bed and prepare " She said, wiping my tears.
" Mom " I called and she looked up to me.
" Who's he?, And what's gonna happen when we meet with them? " I asked and mom gave a little smile.
" It's fine, you shouldn't worry about this, I'll take care of all these " She said and signalled to me to go into my room.
I nodded and wiped some little trace of tears on my face before heading towards the stairs.
I stopped after climbing a few stairs and I turned back to see mom who was staring at me.
She gave a little smile and I sighed.
" I love you mom " I said and she smiled widely.
" I love you more baby " She replied and I smiled before turning away from her and continued ascending the stairs.
I got to my room and fell on my bed heaving a deep sigh.
For some reasons, I'm still feeling damn guilty, those words mom said made me feel guilty the more.
It's not her fault and she knows that, she's just trying to make me feel better and that alone is making me feel guilty like I just murdered someone.
My head played back to her last words before I released myself from her arms.
She found out whom he is??, Who's he?.
Is he a teen like me or someone older than me?.
I couldn't see his face, I don't even know if he's one old dude.
I really hope he's the same age as me!, I don't wanna be anyone's baby mama.
I closed my eyes slowly and before I knew it, sleep took over.
* * *
Next morning.
I took a glance at mom who was sitting right beside me in the limousine.
My heart couldn't stop palpating so hard as the drive continued.
We were on our way to the so-callled guy's house.
Mom found out whom he is but I have no idea, Mom wouldn't tell me, she keeps telling me to be patient.
I'm really scared, what if he's one old dude who would want a forced marriage with me?, I can't get married now, I still need to continue my schooling.
Or what if he denies the pregnancy?, I mean there's no proof he's responsible, or does mom has a proof?.
Gosh, all these is baffling me!!.
Or what if his parents doesn't like me?, What if they're actually richer than we are and forcefully makes me abort the baby??!!!..
No, they can do that,, mom wouldn't allow that, right?..
Gosh, I released a deep breath and that made mom turn to me.
She sighed and touched my hair, patting it slowly.
" It's fine, you'll be fine..... I promise " She assured and I forced a smile.
.....
" We're here " The driver announced and my heart beat increased, as it began beating intently.
" Baby " Mom tapped me and I raised my head.
" Are you okay? " She asked and I nodded, before alighting from the car as the guards made way for me.
I looked up at the big and enormous mansion before me.
Staing at the magnificent building in front of me , I could only admire it. I had seen many houses before, but none ever matches the beauty of the one I'm staring at right now.
Tho, our house seemed just like this, but I just can't help than to compliment whoever made this.
I couldn't help wondering what the interior view will be like, seeing how beautiful the exterior view looks like.
Pulling out of my trance, I forced my legs towards the entrance door as mom led the way with Carl, her Personal Assistant, while the guards stood by the door, while I resisting the urge to stand there, and stared at the building all I can. Stepping into the living room of the building, my mouth finally drop opened, as I behold the most beautiful sight ever.
My eyes roamed around the entire place, from the portraits, hanging on the walls, to the paints on the wall, my eyes darted to the big chandelier lights, hanging on the ceiling, and I could only gulped down nothing at the sight before me
For some seconds, I thought I had already left planet earth, I had seen so many beautiful houses before, but not this heaven on earth. Just the sight of the couches, looking so beautiful, caught my attention. Furthermore, I stared around the room again, taking in the beauty of the flowers in the flower vase, the tiles on the floor, the center table, which was sparkling neat, with no trail of dust on it, and finally, the expensive looking curtain, hanging on the window.
They are indeed billionaires likes mom, 'cause this is too perfect, for some minutes, I forgot my worries.
I forgot what I was here for, forgetting totally the worries at my hand.
Suddenly, we heard footsteps descending the stairs and we looked up.
And there was the classiest couples ever, dressed in matching classy outfits that I couldn't help but envy them, I suddenly wished dad was alive.
How sweet would it have been?, We three could match in outfits, we could be the classiest family ever!.
" To what do I owe this visit from the great Mrs Diones? " The woman who I'm sure was the wife asked as she offered a handshake.
Mom flashed her a smile before accepting her hand.
" Can we sit please? " Mom asked and they nodded with smiles.
" Sure " The couples replied together and I couldn't help but envy them again, they look so perfect together.
" I'm sorry, where's your son? " Mom asked
" He should be here by..... " She was interrupted by footsteps descending the stairs and we all turned our face to him, and there he was, clothed in full glory, his walks majestically and I couldn't help but drool, He's an angel!!.
