chapter 32

But I can't," Ariel said, her voice full of sadness. "Alex is already in a relationship with Ella. If I tell him about the baby, it will only make things more complicated."

"But Ariel," Chloe said, her tone gentle but firm. "Alex has a right to know. This is his child too. It's not fair to keep it from him."

"I know," Ariel said, her voice breaking. "But I just can't bring myself to tell him. I'm so scared of what will happen."

Chloe reached out and took Ariel's hand, squeezing it tightly.

"Are you seriously saying you're going to keep the baby and raise it by yourself?" Chloe asked, her voice full of disbelief. "Ariel, that's a huge responsibility. Are you sure you're ready for that?"

Ariel bit her lip, her eyes filled with uncertainty. "yes I am ready ," she admitted. "But I can't just get rid of the baby. It's my child. I can't just... end its life like that."

Chloe sighed, understanding her friend's dilemma. "I know this is a difficult situation," she said.

so you are coming with me " Ariel said

"You mean I'm coming with you?" Chloe asked, her eyes wide with surprise. "To where?"

"To my new apartment," Ariel said, her voice full of hope. "I've been thinking about moving for a while now, and this seems like the perfect opportunity. It would be so great to have you with me. What do you say?"

Chloe smiled, her heart full of love for her friend. "I say yes, of course," she said. "We'll be each other's support system.

"What do you want from me?" Raymond asked, his voice cold and distant.

"I want you," Regina said, her voice trembling with emotion. "I love you, and I can't let you go."

"You're delusional," Raymond said, his tone harsh. "I've told you before that I don't feel the same way about you. I'm with Gita now, and that's not going to change."

Regina's heart felt like it was breaking into a million pieces.

"Then I'll get rid of Gita," Regina said, her voice cold and menacing.

"You stay away from her!" Raymond said, his eyes blazing with fury. "If you even think about touching her, I swear I'll kill you myself. I won't let you hurt her."

Regina's heart was pounding in her chest. She could see the rage in Raymond's eyes.

"I don't care," Regina said, her voice full of hatred. "I'll get rid of her if it's the last thing I do."

"You're insane," Raymond said, his eyes flashing with anger. "If you do anything to hurt her, I'll make you pay. I won't let you get away with it."

With that, he turned and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. Regina stood there, her hands shaking and her heart pounding.

"I know the cupcake is sweet," Greg said with a smile, "but you're sweeter."

"Oh stop," Chloe said, blushing and swatting his arm. "You're such a flatterer."

"I'm not flattering you," Greg said, his eyes sparkling. "I'm just telling the truth. You're the sweetest thing I've ever tasted."

"You're incorrigible," Chloe said, unable to hold back a smile. "You're so full of it."

"Not as full of it as this cupcake," Greg said, taking another bite.

"Chloe, can you close your eyes?" Greg asked, his voice full of anticipation.
