"Tell me the truth, Amelia!" He growled, muscles popping out of his forehead.
" Tell you what truth, Ethan? What truth?!" She retorted.
" Is the child mine or not?"
" It's yours!" She yelled so loudly, that it hurts her throat. She closed her eyes and leaned back on the
headrest.
Silence ensued between them. After a while, he broke the silence.
" Well, it doesn't matter now. I don't care" He said, and turned to leave.
Half way close to the door, he stopped, " The lawyers are bringing the papers soon. You might escape
signing it the first time but don't you try to pull off any stunts. Please do well to sign them" He said.
While he was talking, he didn't even bother to look at her. He was looking at the door.
When he finished talking, he opened the door and walked out.
She stared at the door in a daze. Not even the pregnancy could make him change his mind. He was
hellbent on divorcing her.
"Ethan Dan, why are you doing this to me? You have always been such a caring and nice husband.
What had come over you?" She lamented as her eyes brimmed with tears.
What was going to happen now? He didn't accept her child and still wants to divorce her.
Was she going to be a single mother whose child was denied by his father? How would she go through
this pregnancy stages alone with any support?
How was she going to cope in this city? Was she going to be a laughing stock? What would she tell the
child when he grows up to understand that he doesn't only have a mother but had a father too? How
would she still have the courage to carry this pregnancy after her divorce?
Different questions reeled her mind. Tears unrestrained tears rolled down her cheeks.
She sobbed for a long time before she stopped. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and
reached out to touch her stomach.
" Don't you worry baby. Momma would do everything possible to make sure you live. Even if your father
does not accept. I do and I would do anything possible to make sure you are happy and cared for. No
harm would come to you" She said, with determination.
Her mother died when she was at a young age so she really didn't experience a mother's love but she
would make sure her child gets the best.

Ethan strided out of the hospital in a fist of rage. What can't she just say the truth? She was such a
bloody liar!
On a second thought, why was he even angry at the fact that she cheated on him and got pregnant?
He didn't really love her anyway and he was even about to divorce her.
"But how did she really get pregnant?" He puzzled.
What if she was really saying the truth? Does that means the child was his? If yes, how could he
divorce her, the Greg family's blood can't be outside. His family would not agree to it. Even he would
not let his child be taken away.
"Ahhhh........" He groaned and kicked the car as he already walked to it. He then open the car and got
in.
As he wanted to start the car engine, his phone rang. He stopped his movements and took the phone
out of his pocket.
The name, which was displayed on the screen, caused his heart to skip a beat.
How could he be thinking about Amelia when his thoughts were to be directed to Madison.
If Madison finds out she is pregnant, he would be a dead meat. It would even be worser if he didn't tell
her and then she finds out later. Because she definitely will.
He was caught in a dilemma. He kept the phone aside as he slammed his feet on the engine and drove
off.

" What! You got her pregnant?!" Madison's voice resonated in the room.
" I am sorry. I really didn't do it intensionally, you know it. I thought i have always been careful enough"
He coaxed as he held her hand.
"Don't you dare touch me! We had a plan remember?" She said as she snatched her hand from his
grip.
" I know. It wasn't on intensionally. It might not even be mine" He tried to defend himself.
" Don't you dare say such! We both know that sl*t could be alot of other things but not a cheater. She
didn't cheat on you! Don't lie, that child is yours" Madison yelled in rage.
Ethan sighed. That was what he had thought too but couldn't find himself accepting such truth. That
child was his. What was he going to do now?
" i am very sorry Madison" He pleaded as he tried to hold her hand again.
" Don't you dare touch me! She is pregnant. Your alibi for divorcing her is no longer valid. Now what?"
She asked.
He sighed and keep quiet. It was obvious, what was going to happen next.
" If the Greg family finds out especially your father and grandfather, they would not allow you to just
part with her like that. They wouldn't want their grandchild to be born outside the family. Even if you
divorce her, they would bring her back into the family using that alibi" She said, at this point, her body
was vibrating in anger. And his silence heightened the anger.
" This would affect us in the future when we eventually get married. What would people say? Gosh......"
She growled and sat down on a chair.
Silence ensued between them.
" I am really sorry" He apologized again.
" Can you just ahhhh......" she grunted. " I am trying to look for a way out of this mess you have
created"

The next morning, Amelia opened her eyes, feeling slightly tired and dizzy.
" Good morning" She had a voice greeted, and she swiftly turned her head towards the source of the
voice.
It was the same nurse from yesterday. " Good morning, nurse" She greeted in return, with a stiff smile
that didn't reach her eyes.
" How are you doing today?" The nurse asked.
" I am fine, nurse" That was the normal reply to the question ' how are you doing'. Even if you ain't
really fine, you are still expected to say that anyways.
" Are you feeling dizzy or tired?"
" A bit of both, i guess"
" Are you feeling the urge to urinate or throw up?"
" Not really"
" Are you feeling pain anywhere?"
" Yes i am feeling pain below my abdomen"
" I am sorry. It's normal sometimes. Are you hungry?"
Her stomach answered the question by rumbling. Her cheeks turned beetroot red as she bit her bottom
lips and lowered her head in embarrassment. She silently reprimanded her stomach for embarrassing
her this morning.
The nurse laughed heartily and said " you don't have to feel embarrassed. I understand. I will go get
something for you to eat"
" Okay. Thank you" Amelia responded.
The nurse left.
Few minutes after she left, a knock came from the door.
She knitted her brows tightly. Who could that be? The nurse just left so she couldn't possibly come
back now. The doctors couldn't be knocking before entering her ward, right?
Ethan couldn't be here again, right? His family does not even know if she was hospitalized so they
couldn't come visit neither would her family visit her because; basically, she only had her father as a
family and he wasn't in the country. As for the step mother and daughter duo, they wouldn't even bother
visiting her for no good reason.
Her thoughts ran wide. Jeez..... She has really learnt to over think this days.
The door was pushed opened and two familiar figures walked in.
Thump!
