make amends or reparation.

I knock on the door waiting for it to open. It's been three weeks since, and my appointment is tomorrow. Only Victoria and I know about the appointment.

The door opens and everyone in the room looks at me and raises an eyebrow. "Can I help you?" Luca asks.

"I need to speak with you."

"What? I'm in the middle of a meeting."

"Privately, Luca."

"You're wasting my time." He smacks his teeth, brushing me off.

"Why?" Preston asks. "Everyone here knows your secrets, Riley." The man taunts.

I look at Victoria and her eyes are drilling into mine. "If you're not going to talk then get out." She says.

"I'm pregnant."

The room stills with silence. All eyes turn to Luca, who stares at me with disbelief. "You're lying." His mother says.

"Am I lying, Victoria?" She looks like she's about to pounce on me at any given second.

"You knew and didn't say anything?" Michael asks her. If looks could kill I would be in a grave right now. Or probably cremated.

"Of course she knew. She's the one who planned my abortion." I look to her and she stands up from her seat.

"Abortion?" Luca raises an eyebrow.

"Yep, tomorrow at 9."

"Do you really think you two should be parents? You've tried to kill each other on multiple occasions. What makes you think you'll be able to take care of a child?" She looks between both of us.

Her words hit me hard but I keep my composure.

"I completely agree." I say and she rolls her eyes. "But he at least should know, right? After all he is the father of my child."

"Is he? You have been going to see Chase Hill a lot." Owen makes his comment.

"And that much is true. But Luca knows this is his child. Just like he knows about Lorenzo." I say and his eyes shoot to mine. "What? You think I didn't know? You were there that night I gave birth to him. You came and stayed with me for hours."

I thought he was just part of my dream that night, but now since I found out about the tracker. He was actually there.

He scoffs. "So where's my son now?"

"I don't know, but I do know he's safe and away from us."

"Wait a second. You have a kid?" Oliver grins from ear to ear. "Why didn't you tell me?!"

"Oliver!" Owen yells.

"My appointment is tomorrow. With this information do as you please." I turn on my heels and walk out the door. Both Dina and Raven are standing there with their mouths hung low.

"You're having an abortion?" I grab both of them and pull them into a empty room.

"I don't know."

"You can't-" Raven says.

"Do you not remember what they said in Havana? There's a possibility, my body won't be able to handle another pregnancy."

"There's always a chance." She continues.

"Yes and I got that chance with Lorenzo, Raven." She looks down and I sigh. "But i'm not willing to go through with the abortion. I went through a full pregnancy once, I pray I can go through it again." Even if it kills me. I give both of them a small smile and they hug me.
