Ensnared [On Hold]

3.

one month later

"Miss Margo, you've got a letter," my maid tells me, handing me an envelope. "You still going to keep your mouth shut, Sid?" I ask the man covered in blood,  he doesn't answer. I get up from the chair I'm sitting in, quickly slitting his throat with the knife in my hand. He was the last person to see Kayla and Berk, now he's dead. I take the knife and cut open the envelope, some of the blood transferring onto it.

Miss Andrea Margo,

I invite you to my son, Romano's anointing. You're a very powerful woman, and I would like to strike up a partnership. I hope that you'll accept my invitation. The anointment shall be on the 23rd.

Hoping this finds you well,

Russo Valencia.

I chuckle loudly at the letter. Russo Valencia is finally stepping down from the thrown, and he wants us to have a partnership! I never thought they day would come! I do wonder how Enzo's (Romano) doing, as it's been ages since I last saw him. He's a few years older than me. I met him through our parents, our father's being close friends. I was meant to marry Enzo, but I met Berkeley and ran away. Maybe I should go, it's pretty soon, this Thursday to be exact.

Lorenzo and I were pretty close, best friends. It all went crashing down when I ran away, of course. I've heard that he's been a pretty ruthless leader since, not that I care.

"So this is what you do in your spare time," I hear a familiar nasally voice speak behind me. I turn around and am met by the iconic London Margo, my mother. "Mother, what are you doing here? Is father here too?" I ask, voice filled with concern. It's been five years since I've seen them. The last I saw them, mother was throwing a fit that I married into another Mafia without permission. "No, your father is not with me. I came here to know if all the rumors are true. That Berk left you," of course that's why she's here. "Yes mother, Berk left. I have someone trying to find him," I roll my eyes. "Didn't I tell you that he was just trouble? And now look, he left you to look after his empire," she folds her arms over her chest, flipping her braided hair. "Yes, mother. You were right. Why are you actually here? I have to leave in-" I check my watch to see how much time I have- "thirty minutes. I have a doctor's appointment," I say irritably. "Is something wrong? Why would you need to see a doctor?" I groan. I want to keep this child a secret for as long as I can. "Gynecologist, mother. I'm going for my monthly check up," I lie through my teeth. "Okay, well, your father wants to talk to you. Come over when you're done," she walks away, her heels clattering on the cement floor.

If father wants to talk, then it's serious. I let out a loud sigh, getting off the chair and going to my bedroom. A few weeks after Berk and Mikayla left, I moved out and into one of our mansions. It's not the biggest but I like it. I take a quick shower, washing all the blood off me. Once I'm done, I get dressed.

I walk outside, guards following after me. We all get inside of one of the cars, one of the bodyguards driving us to my ob. The drive isn't long before we're at the ob. We all head inside.

"Ma'am, Dr. Logan is waiting for you in her office," the front secretary tells me, and we all go to her office. "Good afternoon, Miss Margo," she smiles at me and I smile back. "So, today we're having a vaginal ultrasound. It will feel a bit cold. You have to remove your clothes from the waist down and put on a gown. When it's time to begin the procedure, you lie down on your back on the examination table and bend your knees. There may or may not be stirrups. You can change in the examination room," Dr. Logan informs me and I go to the examination room to change. "Okay, I'm done," I say as I go back to her and my bodyguards. "You guys can stay outside of the examination room while we're busy," I tell them, and they all leave.

Dr. Logan and I leave her office, and go to the examination room. I lie down on the examination bed. She brings over a medical treatment trolley with something that looks like a computer on top of it.

"Okay, so I'm going to use this probe-" she shows me a wand looking thing- "and insert it inside your vagina, as I explained in my office. You might want to lift and spread your legs for me," she smiles at me. "Let's get this started," I adjust my legs and Dr. Logan slowly inserts the probe. I shiver slightly at the coldness. She moves it around in a circular motion, and soon an image pops up on the computer. She turns around to inspect it. "Miss Margo, it seems that you're carrying twins. Look here-" she points at two forms- "there are two heartbeats too," she looks back at me, smiling.

I don't know what to do. Should I smile? Should I cry? Should storm out? What do I do? I don't know if I'm happy or sad, or angry. I'm so confused.

"Are you okay? If you don't want twins, you can give them up for adoption," my eyes widen at her words. "God no! I could never! I didn't expect twins, but I'm not abandoning them," "Okay, well here's your sonogram," she hands me a picture. "Thank you. I'll leave now," she walks out to give me privacy to dress. I slowly get dressed, multiple thoughts running through my head. I'm bringing twins into this world, and a world I wouldn't want myself to be born in.

I walk out of the examining room, met by my bodyguards and they give the secretary a check. I don't know how to feel...what to do. I place my hand over the quite large bump forming. It explains why my bump is larger than normal at fifteen weeks.
