Bella's POV
A sense of relief washed over me as the dust settled and life began to return to some semblance of normalcy.
Three weeks had passed since Rachel's sentencing to five years imprisonment for attempted murder. I couldn't bring myself to care about her family or their whereabouts; all I hoped for was that they would stay far away from us.
To my delight, my father's health had improved significantly, and he was discharged from the hospital. In a surprising twist, the accident had actually expedited his recovery, allowing him to regain his strength and speech.
My own health had been affected by the recent events, as I found myself sleeping more than usual, likely due to the lack of proper rest over the past few weeks.
I even experienced bouts of nausea, which led Linda to suspect pregnancy. To be certain, I asked her to bring me some test strips.
Feeling drained and lethargic, I informed Phyna that I would be taking a few days off from work. Dragging myself out of bed, I made my way to the shower, hoping to wash away the lingering fatigue and stress of the past few weeks.
"Good morning, Miss Bella," Linda greeted as she entered the room. "I've been knocking on the door for a while, but there was no response."
"It's okay, Linda," I replied, my curiosity piqued by the large black bag in her hand. "Do you need anything?"
"Uhmm, I came to give this to you," she said, extending her arm to hand me the mysterious sac. "Sir Sherges asked me to give it to you."
"Oh, uhmm...okay, thanks," I replied, taking the bag from her. I couldn't help but wonder what could possibly be inside. It was unlike Sherges to send a package like this, as he had always been welcome to visit my room anytime."Where is Sherges?" I inquired, eager to unravel the mystery of the bag.
"He is downstairs with Mr. Bayang," Linda informed me before leaving the room, closing the door gently behind her.My heart raced as Linda mentioned that Mr. Bayang was downstairs with Sherges and another lady, discussing something with my father. The presence of Mr. Bayang only added to the mystery and heightened my curiosity.
Once Linda had left, I eagerly opened the sac, pulling out its contents. My eyes widened at the sight of the items inside—a mix of beautiful clothing, accessories, and even a dazzling dress.
A whirlwind of emotions swirled within me: curiosity, excitement, fear, and nervousness. I couldn't help but wonder what occasion warranted such a generous gift.
After blushing anxiously for a while, I took a shower and checked the pregnancy test strip. Two lines appeared, indicating that I was pregnant. My skin glowed with joy as I realized that I would soon be a mother. I knew in that moment that I would make a great one.
I couldn't wait to share the news with Sherges, certain that he would be overjoyed as well.
"It would have been perfect if we were married though," a random thought crossed my mind.Linda had already returned to my room, ready to assist me with my makeup and dressing.
"You look stunning, Miss Bella," Linda said with a wide grin. "I'm certain you'll leave jaws dropping today."I chuckled in response. "Thanks, Linda. I thought I always lived to drop jaws."
Her smile never faded as she continued to help me with my makeup.It was evident that something was amiss, judging by her peculiar behavior. Despite my prodding, she remained tight-lipped, insisting she knew nothing.
