Present

Madison

"What happened to her?" I know this voice, it's Zane. Still not opening my eyes as I felt completely tired, I wondered where I was.

"The doctor said it was because of the stress and tiredness. She'll need to rest for a bit of time." The sweet voice of Ace was heard then I felt someone caressing my hands. "Have you found out?"

"Not yet, I'm still waiting, but you know, what confuses me more is the Bar owner knows us, I've talked to him after I called his employee. And we're VIP there, do you know it?"

Not knowing what they're talking about, I just listened.

"What Bar?"

"SouthStar Bar, Have you heard of it before?"

"Yeah, That's where we celebrate Coleson's Engagement Party, remember?"

My head suddenly started to hurt, making me whimper, slowly opening my eyes, Ace sitting beside me with his hands locked with mine.

"Hey, You alright?" He asked, making me somehow smile.

"Madison, what happened to you? You already know that you're pregnant yet you're not taking care of yourself?" Zane scolded me as he stood next to me, on the other side of the bed. Looking at him tiredly, he sighs and holds my other hand. "Okay, sorry, I'll shut up now."

I chuckle at him and look at Ace, I'm still wondering if he's thinking about what he heard before I lost consciousness. Still, I think there's nothing wrong because we're married, right?

"How are you feeling?" He brings his hands up to my hair and caresses it.

"Better, but I'm tired."

"Just take a rest, we'll go home after lunch."

"We need to go now, we'll just pick you up." Zane said, making me look at Ace confusedly.

"Just an emergency at the company, I'll come back in an hour or two." He kissed my forehead before leaving a soft kiss on my lips. "Call the nurse if you need something."

"I will."

"Wait for me okay? What do you want to eat for lunch?"

I think for a second and smile at him. "Pizza."

"Honey, that's not for lunch."

"But that's what I'm craving right now, if you won't buy me that then I'm good, I'm not going to eat."

He looked at me knowingly that it's because of the pregnancy that I'm stubborn, and I am too normal.

"Okay, I'll buy it. We'll go now." He kissed my forehead before leaving with Zane.

Not long after, the door swung open again.

"You forgot somethin–" I halted on my words when I realized that it's not them. "What are you doing here?"

"Just wanted to know how you are doing." He smirked at me before taking the seat next to my bed. "Why didn't you tell me that you're pregnant?" Luke asked with his smug tone, like he knows something he shouldn't. "How long has it been? 2 months? But wait— you guys just got married a month ago, am I right?"

I fucking knew it.

"Leave us alone."

"What really happened? You got pregnant even though you still haven't met him? Does your Grandpa know it? Does Victoria know it?"

"How did you fucking–" I was about to ask him did he finds it out when I think he get it.

"The magic words, her husband's brother."
