Lisa's Pov

“Marry me, Lisa.”

I stared at the women in bewilderment. Did she really just say what I think she just said? Did she just ask me to marry her? Right out of the blue?

“Are you out of your mind!” I yelled at her, rising from the chair and backing away from her as far as I could. “We don’t even know each other!”

“We don’t need to,” she had the audacity of saying as she too rose from the ground and stood facing me. “That’s my child you’re carrying, Lisa. My heir. If you want to take my child away from me, don’t expect me to just stand there and watch it happen. I will fight for my child’s custody if it comes down to that. But marriage gives us equal claim over our child.”

Fight for custody? She had no idea that if it did come down to that, I’ll win fair and square. Like I told her before, she doesn’t even know me and yet she thinks she can make outrageous demands and I’ll obey them on bended knees.

“I don’t want you in my child’s life, Jennie. I don’t want him or her to go through the trauma that their father can’t stay faithful to their mother.” I told her.

“Why do you think I can’t stay faithful? I didn’t cheat on Irene and I certainly didn’t cheat on you!” she yelled at me, the music outside the door loud enough to make sure no one would overhear us, unless someone decided to eavesdrop.

“You didn’t cheat with me because I was just part of your little revenge plan! We were together only one night and you used that against me by making a sex tape and then blackmailing me with it!” I yelled back.

“As for Irene, you did pretty much the same with her. You slept with her and when that relationship got exposed, you threw her aside like she’s some kind of disposable toy!” I was breathing hard when I finished and I could already feel nausea churn my stomach.

“Damn it!” Jennie banged a fist against the dressing table, knocking over several cosmetics and brushes. “I’m telling you I didn’t intend for it to happen like that! Why won’t you believe me?”

I smirked despite the nausea. “Pot calling the kettle back huh, Jennie? You didn’t believe me either when I said I wasn’t the one who took that photograph.”

“Fine!” Her jaw was a hard line as she strode over to where I was standing. “You’re three months pregnant, aren’t you?”

I frowned, nodding my head, but I couldn’t understand how this had anything to do with what we were discussing.

“Which means you have six months left till delivery,” she said more to herself before turning to me. “Then let me prove to you that I can be faithful. Six months should be enough time for that.”

“Oh, really?” I raised my eyebrows at her, the honey and cinnamon spice scent mixed with the raw masculine scent of her was calming my nausea better than anything ever had this past few weeks. “And what will happen in these six months that’ll help me change my mind?”

“For starters, you’ll be moving in with me for the next six months.”

“Are you even listening to yourself?” I screamed, and that was when bile rose to my throat and I had to rush to the washroom in record time to empty my stomach.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have anything left in my stomach to throw up so I ended up dry heaving while Jennie sat beside me, pulling my hair out of my face.

It wasn’t long before we heard knocking on the door and Jennie left me for a short time to open it and Jinu rushed in, followed by Mino.

“Lisa!” Jinu rushed over to my side in an instant and pulled me up from the floor, and taking a napkin from the counter, wet it under water and dabbed it on my face.

“Get me out of here.” I rasped out to her, finally getting the escape I needed. I know running from your problems only make them worse but right now, I felt like I was about to die.

Jinu supported most of my weight as she carried me to the green room, but before she could take me out of room, Jennie came to stand in front of us.

“Where are you taking her?” She demanded.

“Away from you.” Jinu told her in a stern voice that ended all argument. “The doctor had told her specifically that she should stay away from all kinds of stress and you being near her isn’t helping.” Then she turned to Mino, “This is your mess, so you fix it.” She told him before walking out of the room with me.

Her car was ready when we exited the school and we settled in right away and Jinu told her driver to drive to my apartment.

“Will you be alright on your own tonight?” Jinu asked as she settled me into bed after feeding me some soup and bread.

“Yes.” I told her, barely able to form words. My eyes were already drooping.

“Alright. I’ve prepared your water and your emergency meds are on the bedside table. I’ve also packed up your refrigerator in case you want to have a midnight snack. I’ll be leaving now, but if you need anything at all, do not hesitate to call me.”

“Okay.” I said before my eyes closed shut.

I felt Jinu place a soft kiss on my forehead before she left and I fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
