Y/n's

"I'm giving you a chance to explain, stop lying—"

"I am not lying, I never told Yuki about this." He's still on his knees while hugging my waist.

I sigh, at this point. I don't even know if telling me the truth or not. It's hard for me to trust him again, and I don't want to trust him again.

"She came here yesterday, and played a voice record of you drunk.. telling her the reason why you chose me to be your pretend wife." I proceed on telling him what he said to me on that recorder. And when she texted me that he's looking for me, everything.

This made him stand up, but his hands are still on my waist. Preventing me to leave.

"I never got drunk with her... and that's not the reason."

This made me even more confused, my head is hurting. All these stress is not good for the baby, but I wanna stay to know his side, if he's actually telling the truth.

"Y/n, me and Nanami were trying to find Geto since that day I saw that burn on your wrist. I asked Ijichi to spy on you.. I know everything.." he began, my ears were listening to every word he said.

If he knows, why did the torture continues?

"They keep changing places or disappearing out of nowhere when we're close to catch them.. and that's not the real reason why I chose you."

"Then tell me the reason then! Right here, I wanna know!" I was getting impatient which is why my tone is starting to raise.

He sighed first, "Because I wanna help you, why would I care if my enemies attack my students? They could fight back.."

"Y-you wanna help me?"

"I honestly think you're so beautiful back then, I went to look around to get informations about you.. and turns out you're homeless.." he bite his lower lip, looking away from me with a tinted blush on his cheeks.

I wanted to slap myself right now, I can't fall for his tricks again.. but it seems like he was telling the truth.

I have so many questions in mind, "Then why did you say I'll pretend to be your wife? Then you said I'll be free once everything is okay?"

He chuckled, "Cause things aren't possible to be okay.. if I want you to just play pretend. Then I would've made you sign a fake paper. But those were legit, you are married to me."

I still don't wanna believe him, I can't.. cause what if it's just a trick? "Then why do you keep seeing other girls?"

"Cause I thought my feelings for are same with those girls.. I tested it, but it's just different when you're around."

"Wait.." I pushed him away as I massage my temples. "This is stressing me out, and it's not even good for us.."

"What do you mean?" He asked.

Should I really tell him? He deserves to know, after hearing all of this. All the hatred I have for him just vanished, if he's trying to manipulate me. Well, he's doing so good.

I wouldn't want to be that cruel to hide this child from its own father right?

"I'm pregnant." I didn't add any more words on my sentence, that's all I have to say.

I can't even look at him, but I'm curious. His face tells everything, I could feel the mixed emotions in his eyes.

"A-am I— no no! Don't even answer that, that doesn't even matter." His words got me confused.

But later on, I soon realized what he meant by that. I think it's the pregnancy that made me instantly snap out and just smack him on his head.

I was pissed off, bold of him to assume that I sleep around with different men.. more of, my own fucking cousin.

"O-ouch, why would you do that?" He was rubbing his head as he kinda stepped away from me, he probably thinks I'll do it again.

"Rin is my cousin, moron!" I yelled at him, as I crossed my arms in front of my chest. "He's a family."

It feels so good, yet embarrassing to finally call someone a family.

I didn't receive any words from Gojo, but instead. He pulled me closer for a hug, his scent was amazing as always. I missed this to the point it made me tear up.

There's a huge misunderstanding that happened, I feel like it's my fault too that I just decided to run away instead of talking to him.

Then how come Yuki has a voice record of him? It doesn't make so much sense.. it's either Yuki or Gojo's the one who's lying.

"Shit, I fucked up then.." he said, face palming as he put his other hand on his hips.

"Aren't you sorry for everything you said yesterday?" I raised my brows at him.

"I am. I'm sorry for saying those bullshit to you, I was just filled with anger and jealousy. I am really sorry Y/n. I know saying sorry won't take back all the words I said but.. I'm really sorry."

How can I be this stupid to actually started thinking of forgiving him? Sometimes I really need to act though so he won't think that he can easily get me back.

"Please, Don't leave. I'll be better for you, I promise. I won't see other girls anymore. Please just stay with me."

Words are stuck in my throat, I don't know what to say. My mind was blank while staring at his eyes, his eyes were teary, I could literally sense he's being serious about this.

I really don't want my child to grow up in a broken family, so am I going to risk it again and trust him?

"Gojo, my mind is still in a mess right now. I don't know if staying with you will make this situation better." To be honest, even if I care so much about my child...

I still don't know whose telling the truth. But my guts are telling me to believe in him.

"It's okay, I'll give you space Y/n. Don't worry, I'll wait until you finally forgive me again.. but please, don't go."

There's a spare room in here, perhaps I could stay there until I found out about the truth. That voice record is such a strong evidence.. I can't just ignore that because I am deeply in love with this man and I'm currently carrying his child.

"I think I'll go sleep in other room for now.. I need some time to think." I sigh, I wanted to hug him and say I actually forgive him.

But now isn't the time for that, not yet.. not until everything is cleared up..

A/n: I apologize for the short update, but I just wanna clarity some things. Cause I recently saw this comment saying that they hate this book, or I should just delete this book and they keep commenting some words in my book that I am not sure if it's a joke or they're serious. But either way, I wanted to say that. If you don't like this book, feel free to drop it and stop reading. You don't have to say some shits here, like what's the purpose? I am literally mad right now because of people like them, this isn't the first time it happened but this is the first time I'm talking about this topic. Again, if you don't like this book or my other books JUST DROP IT I AM NOT BEGGING FOR YOU TO READ IT. It's nice to be nice guys, you don't go around talking shit to other people's work.
