Wife of fortune

Chapter 25

KATE

I woke up next morning feeling nauseous and found myself running to the toilet multiple times until the sickness stopped around 2pm and I was able to function like a human again. I hand them sick before so I hoped it wouldn't become a habit.

My mom brought me crackers to snack on, she told me it would help with the nausea and it did. She's been my biggest supporter ever since she found out but I was leaving back to New York tomorrow and I was gonna miss having someone who knows and knows what to do.

And as much as I was wanting to be back home I was feeling yet again like I wasn't home. But this time it was much worse, than when I was in Nee York. And not to mention how emotional I has started to get I think it made it all worse.

"Do you want a martini?" Bianca asks as she's making one for herself.

"No, I'm trying to regulate my alcohol consumption" I say and she shrugged her shoulders in a 'my fault' way.

"More for me" she says and takes a sip. "Do you really have to leave tomorrow?" She asks.

"Yes, we need to continue to do the tasks, there's still so much left" I'm not sure if we'd be able to complete them before the baby comes. If I'm gonna keep it.

"Do you miss him?" She asks as we walk outside and sit by the pool.

"I do" I say honestly.

"That's cute" she says and smiles. "And you couldn't stand him at first" she teases.

"I still can't stand him some times" I say.

"When are you gonna come visit again?" She asks.

"I don't know, next time you need to come visit us" I say and she nods in agreement.

"I don't know if parents would want to go, especially since dad has been acting so weird" Bianca says. "I wonder what's going on, and mom is totally chill about it, it's like she doesn't even notice that he's being weird"

"Mom can hide her emotions pretty good" I say "maybe she's being strong for our sake"

"Maybe" Bianca says and rests back on the tanning bed sipping her cocktail. I open my phone gallery and look at the picture I took of the letter I completely forgot.

I open the image and read it.

'Yes I've seen the will, it's a long list of we stall them long enough they won't be able to complete it. But that's not our biggest problem, our problem is your daughter falling in love with him. Have you not seen how they are around each other? We have to keep them apart.'

I skip over the parts where they just discuss keeping me and Grayson alive and as I get to the bottom line, the last line, my heart races.

'The will states if within one year of marriage she produces a heir everything goes to her and Grayson'

Is that true? Who even are these people who know of the will outside of mine and Graysons family. Does even Grayson know this? He must know, he just didn't mention it because it wasn't an option for him.

This baby could change everything but do I really want to put this baby out into the world where he will only be a piece of securing an inheritance? If the baby's own father doesn't even want it, and me, it's mom is still practically a child.

GRAYSON

"Is everything ready for tomorrow?" I ask one of the men.

"Yes, the shipment is being loaded up in your plane right now" he says.
