The Playboy's Marriage

Chapter Thirty Seven

~You make my heart skip a beat~

Isabel

Location: London

I felt a light tap on my arm continuously, I stuttered slowly opening my eyes. My mom was seated beside me while Franklin Jobs and his wife Meredith stood across me with so much care in their eyes for me. I gently sat up on the bed feeling a bit weak,

"Are you okay Isa?".

"Yeah mom....oh no don't tell me-",

"Yes you fainted again",Meredith completed for me,"But this time it's a good one".

Franklin chuckles but my mom didn't smile.

"Shit how-",

"Relax Isabel,the doc will be here soon".

We chatted before the female doctor entered the room, she smiled widely at me and presented me my hospital result. I read it thoroughly and was shocked.

"P-pregnancy?positive?....I don't get". I glanced at the doctor for a explanation.

"Oh c'mon Isabel it's been months, we've both seen signs......you just never wanted to admit it to yourself".

"Congratulations miss Santos, you've been tested positive....... you're with a child".

I stared at my mom,she doesn't look surprised neither does Franklin or Meredith. There was frequent signs I'll admit but I just thought because of work stress and all that.

Surprise was still written all over my face, I still didn't know how to react.....I'm going to be a mother?

"Isabel congratulations! You're going to be a great mother".Franklin said with a smile.

I opted for a scan for it to be more believable, my eyes was on the screen and my heart suddenly beats fast when I saw the baby......

"Oh wow it's moving...". I patted my stomach in awe.

"Yeah it's an healthy bouncing baby miss Santos". The doctor said.

Oh Lopéz...... you're going to be a daddy

"Umm I need to leave, I'm fine now right?", I rush out of bed and stood on my own.

"Be careful Isabel, you're pregnant now with that- man's child",my mom said with bit of anger.

She still has hate and spite for Lopéz. My mom honestly don't want to have anything to do with him. It's been a year already. She still wouldn't forgive him for not respecting my father enough to show up and pay him respect at his burial.

I on the hand has completely healed. I'm done sobbing, whimpering and feeling so little. In a short span of one year, I did so well for myself; it has not been easy, I've failed multiple times and still continued. The road was so long, dark and lonely without Lopéz in my life.......I couldn't adjust at first, I thought I was gonna die without seeing him but I found myself adjusting to it all as time goes on.

I stepped out of my comfort zone and created a good organization for myself, I've workers under me and interns learning from me.......I made new friends, associates and met so many people I thought would only knew through social media.

Franklin Jobs and Meredith Jobs was one of them.

In between a year, I wrote so many books that becomes an instant hit all over london and even in other countries. I was among the bestselling writers amongst all others. At this point, absolutely no-one can pull me down. Not even Lopèz.

"How do you feel?". My mom asked me the moment we got home.

"I don't know what I feel but......I do know that this baby will give me happiness and-",

"It's Lopéz Fernandéz's child, how are you going to raise the baby without a father?".

I pulled my jacket and gulped down a glass of water,"Who ever says I'm going to raise my child without his father?".

"Isabel what? You and Lopéz are divorced! You guys have been seperated for a year and going now".

"Mom stop okay? I know you don't like Lopéz and you've good reasons but I'm pregnant for him, we're gonna coparent".

"Is that truly it Isabel?or you're just happy that you will be tied together with him again?",She came closer and held my two hands. "I don't want you leaving everything here and going back to Brazil dear".

"I don't want you together with him, you've done so much to move on......I don't want him in your feelings again".

Oh Mom how can I tell you that I still love this man regardless?

My heart still goes out for him always...

"I don't know.....I just need to think first", I sigh and went to my room.

I relaxed on my couch and turned on the television, it's not even a surprise anymore that Lopéz face was the first thing that popped up on my screen. How he became a sensation so fast is so surprising! This man I'm watching wasn't the man I married, he's changed- I could tell from watching all his interviews and clips on the internet.

Lopèz has grown. Even his features have definitely changed, he looked so mature and smart and just......handsome. I've watched his fashion shows as well, he always killed his runways....... he's the best out there and makes him known as the highest and well known paid male model in the world right now. Lopèz now has a management,team members and so much more. His networth has said to have increased, he's now a multi-millionaire.

He's also working on owning his own modeling agency which I've heard of. Overall we've both healed and doing great on our own......and then this child comes in.

I bit my lips feeling confused. Should I call Lopéz or go to Brazil to see him physically? I need to see his reaction, I'm already planning on owning another writing branch in Rio anyway. Should I just travel back to Brazil for a short period of time? to talk it out with Lopéz?

Mary my housekeeper came in with a plate of fresh fruits and an orange juice, "Miss Santos have some".

I picked an apple and took a mouthful bite, "Thanks".

"Oh it's him again!".Mary gazed at the television looking straight at Lopéz. "Your ex husband, he's so goodlooking!".

"I know this is too much to say but I bet both of you still have so much chemistry and love going on!.....I mean he hasn't been spotted with any other girl and you haven't also gone on any date.....I think-",

"Mary, respectfully shut up!".

"So sorry". She shut her mouth.

I turned off my screen trying to get some sleep instead.

"Oh you've two missed calls from Pedro Fernandéz and a message from your friend Kayla".

"Okay thanks".

She passed me my other phone before she finally left. I read Kayla's message, it was a small photo of Lopéz with a dark shade and a suitcase on his way to the airport. I think he's coming to London..... just wanted to let you know bes!

What?! Why does Lopéz wants to come here?.....does he finally wants to meet me?

I decided to call Pedro back for more confirmation.
