Deciding it's time I start getting ready I walk into the closet rummaging through it for a perfect outfit for tonight.
I wouldn't lie, I want Theo to see me looking good. Probably I will get time to tell him about me being pregnant. I smile thinking about how he would react.
Negative thoughts cloud my mind.
What if he denies being the father?
What if he says he doesn't want anything to do with them?
Even worse, what if he comes back to me only because of the pregnancy?
Knowing Theo, he would never do anything to hurt me intentionally. Thinking about how he used to pamper me, take me out to dinner, buy me flowers, he even took me to have a tattoo of my name on his chest near his heart. I smile remembering his hugs and kisses.
Can it be possible that he loves me?
Of course, he does love me. I can feel it by the way he looks at me. I just hope everything goes back to how we were before Isabella ruined it.
Do I love him?
I don't think I ever stopped loving him.
I smile at the thought. Spotting my off-shoulder navy blue dress I decide it's perfect. I slip on the dress and my blue doll shoes. I put on my clear lip gloss and style my locks not bothering to put any makeup on since I was already glowing.
"Let's go. You look sexy in blue dear sister." Mia says coming into my room.
"So do you," I say eyeing her petite body in a red jumpsuit and black heels.
We both walk down the stairs together hearing everyone is in the dining room.
I take a seat directly across Theo.
"Oh, Kaylee I didn't know you are here," Isabella says scowling.
"Surprise!" That is all I say before sipping my water.
"I am sorry about that Eddy situation." She says making me freeze.
How did she know Eddy? No one told her. Or did they?
"Eddy? How did you know about him?" I ask confused about how she even knows what happened. She looks at me like a five-year-old caught stealing candy.
She is the one who sent Eddy.
"Theo told me." She says grabbing his hand in hers. I turn to look at him. His eyes plead me to stop. I absentmindedly nod taking my wine.
"How is your pregnancy going Isabella?" Mia asks.
"Nice of you to ask. It's going great sister in law." She grins.
"Yes, considering how fat you are. I do agree, it's going great." Mia says pointing out her protruding stomach.
"Don't you dare call me fat again! " Isabella groans.
"Fat." Mia retorts.
"Mia!" Isabella threatens.
"Fat," Mia repeats.
Amelia and Alexander join us making the table go silent. The doorbell rings, Hazel and Colin come into view.
"I don't remember inviting you two." Amelia sneers at Hazel.
"It's my father's house. What happened to you?" Colin asks making Amelia huff in annoyance probably since she thought she covered that black eye well.
"That's what happens when you bring in strays," Isabella says locking eyes with me.
"Isabella may I remind you that this is my house and I will not condone you talking to Kaylee that way," Alexander shouts making Isabella gulp.
"How dare you talk to a pregnant woman like that Alex?" Amelia exclaims.
"Pregnant my foot," Alexander says sipping his wine.
"Alex! Apologise to Isabella now!" Amelia demands.
"Over my dead body, Amelia don't you forget I own this house. I wouldn't think twice about kicking both of you out. So shut up and let's eat."
"Wow... I missed all this drama." Colin mutters sitting up and rubbing both his palms together.
"Sometimes I think I didn't give birth to you." Amelia retorts looking at Colin with disgust.
"Wouldn't that be great?" Colin says glaring at his mother.
"That would be great Colin. She is a self-centered old hag." Mia chimes in making me gulp.
"Please stop all of you. Let's just eat okay?" I ask famished and annoyed with all the rants thrown back and forth.
As if on queue the maids bring out our food and I wink at Jade she returns it with a smile.
Taking chicken steak and rice I devour it without caring at the glares I was receiving from Amelia and Isabella. After dinner, I excuse myself to go to my room.
Seeing it's very early to sleep I change into my pajamas. Turning on the television and logging into Netflix. I pick a reality show, 'Keeping up with the Kardashians'
I get under the covers.
Minutes later I hear a commotion outside. I pause the TV and head to where the voices are coming from. From the shouting that was happening, I figured it's from downstairs in the living room.
"... I will make sure you pay for playing me like this," Isabella shouts as the police handcuff her. She sees me and sneers.
"I will be back for you I swear! You will pay for taking my man away!" She shouts struggling to get out of the detective's hands.
"What's happening here?" I ask Mia who has a huge grin on her face.
"Isabella is going to jail. I think we don't need the cameras anymore." She says and I nod.
As I turn to look at Isabella, in seconds she has a gun in her hands pointing directly at me. My heart beats fast threatening to pop out of my chest.
"Now you scared huh?" Isabella asks to grin.
"Put down the gun Isabella!" Theo shouts to make her turn to him.
"You choose to be with her and not me?" She asks tears streaming down my face.
"Isabella, we will only talk if you put the gun down." Theo pleads. She turns to me.
"If I can't have him. You will not have him!" I see her hands pulling the trigger and I gasp closing my eyes. I hear a gunshot and a body falling to the floor. Opening my eyes I see Theo on the floor. His blood everywhere. My mind was all over the place trying to understand what had just happened, Mia's scream brings me back seeing Theo bleeding. I kneel next to his body, pressing the gun wound hoping that it would help stop the bleeding but to no avail. His blood covers my hands as Mia continues to wail.
He's dead? No!
It can't be. He is supposed to be with me when I give birth to our twins. I didn't get to even tell him am pregnant!
Theo. You are not dying not on my watch.
