Blame It On Fate

Chapter 35

"What favour?" I asked

"Do you happen to know some Andrew? He's a lawyer and uh he's quite popular in Melbourne, so do you?" He asked. I looked at Andrew and he shook his head indicating me not to tell him but I have other plans about how to handle the situation.

"Why do you ask? Is everything alright?" I questioned, Andrew looked at me with wide eyes. Fear clearly visible in his eyes.

"No, that piece of shit got Bertha pregnant and you know she's engaged to Louis Hamlet, the newly crowned duke, he won't handle such disrespect." I looked at Andrew. He really fucked up, he literally got the Royale's daughter and duke's fiancé.

"Cole, you have to listen me with peace. Andrew is my uh friend and he told me about this today itself. Trust me he's a good guy." I replied.

"I'm coming to Melbourne, taking the next flight." He said and hung up.

"Well I guess you're in trouble." I said to him and had a sip of coffee in front of me. He threw a fry at me, where are his manners?

"Are you out of your mind? Why would you tell him that you're my friend?" He questioned.

"Andrew, you and I both know that he would've found you either way and sooner or later you'd have to face the consequences for your actions. Now I want you to handle this situation very carefully, don't do something that goes against you. You're my friend and by telling you this I don't want to scare you but make you aware, see the royal marriage act might be broken 4 years ago but their minds are still the same. A woman from the royal family getting pregnant before marriage is a sin and both the man and woman are considered sinners. They can't harm the woman because a new life resides inside of her and that will be royal blood and as for you they'll not think twice before sending you to prison or killing you. But now I guess this can be solved you can marry her." I said in one go. That was tiring I took a sip of my coffee, it's much need.

"I think you meant not to scare me. And what do you mean marry her? Marriage is not a joke I just can't marry anyone." He said.

"Oh? And getting anyone pregnant is not a joke?" I raised my eyebrows at him.

I really feel bad for Andrew and as well as Bertha. I know how the duke is. I've met him quite a few times, if he gets to know about Bertha's pregnancy, he'll not think even once before serving his head on his dinner table on a fancy platter the very next day. As for Bertha, he'll probably want her to have an abortion and then marry her that very moment. That guy loves his honour and his respect more than anything.

"We were drunk for god's sake and she seems like a stuck up bitch I don't think I can ever live my life with her." He says.

"I seriously don't recognise you anymore Andrew. Have some respect." I told him.

"I'm really not lying, she was so mean when she was drunk and we were doing it." He mumbled while putting a fry in his mouth.

"Andrew, this is not a joke. Take this seriously, now I've received messages from Nicholas he's in Australia with Alessandra and Elodie. So I need to go see Elodie, bye bye." I said to him.

"El, I really need your help." He said sighing.

"Andrew, least I can do is talk to Cole to deal calmly with you. I can't make Bertha not pregnant and neither can I request the Duke to spare you, he doesn't owe me anything, try to understand, you've both made the situation such that you can't help it and neither can I, I am so sorry." I said sympathetically.

"Fine, talk to Cole." He said.

After that we bid our goodbyes and went to our homes, while driving Enchanted by Taylor Swift was blasting through my speakers and when I reached home I was greeted by giggles of my favourite person.

"Aunt Liseeee." She came running towards me and ran into my arms.

"Lodieeee." I yelled back.

She's such a ball of sunshine, after Tristan left she was the first happy thing that happened to me, I swear when she was born she held my hand so tight, it felt like god was conveying message through her that everything will be alright and it was the best feeling in the world.

"Hey Nicky." I greeted him with a hug and he ruffled my hair and placed a kiss on my forehead.

"How are you?" He asked me.

"I'm well, how are you?"

"Perfect." He replied.

"Alessa." I greeted her with a hug too, well I have to accept her, she's really nice but I still can't get over our grudges in the past. But she is the mother of my favourite niece and my brother's wife.

"Elyse, nice to see you again." She smiled at me and I smiled back and replied, "you too."

"Hey El, could you take Elodie to the grocery store? She wants some candies." Alessandra asked me.

"Sure, come on Lodie, let's go." And I took her to the departmental store. And she got all the chocolate and everything, and while holding her hand I bumped into someone.

"Oh I'm so sorry, hope you're alr- Tristan?" I whispered the last word, I couldn't believe my eyes.
