Shades Of Love

Retribution-3

Author's Pov

Alec crossed his arms against his chest watching the girl laid on the hospital bed with an IV inserted in her pale hand. She was fast asleep or that's what he told himself after she lost her consciousness at his brutality in the car and he took her straight to the hospital.

The doctor ran some tests and informed the stiff man that they will take at least a day to come out. Even after the doctor gave an advise to the cold man to let her stay here for at least a day as her health wasn't that great but Alec straightly refused claiming that he will take her back as soon as she will wake up.

The poor professional couldn't go against one of the richest man of the city and let the matter go, even though he did best to give the pale woman enough medication that even after her husband would take her back she wouldn't get sick again. The doctor finally left the room making Alec walk near his sick wife.

Stopping beside her bed, he gazed at her pale face frowning a little, he had been noticing from a month now, she looked weaker than usual. Her cheek bones had sunken a little, dark circles became more prominent than before and even her breasts had shrunk when he held them in his palm a few hours ago.

No matter how much he disliked this woman, he still was aware with the slightest details of her body, after all there wasn't single spot left on her untouched by him. He leaned his face closer to hers narrowing his eyes, he couldn't help but ponder over the last few months she had been so distant, silent and unmoving towards him. There was something wrong with her and he will surely get to know it.

Next morning

Alec grunted watching the empty side of her before jumping off the bed and getting ready to visit his sick wife. He thought that as soon as she will wake up last he will take her back but his plans came undone when she again caught fever in the middle of the night and doctor once again advised him to let her stay at the hospital which he with a reluctant heart did.

He left a servant who was the closest with his wife and came back to handle some matters, the moment he arrived at his home, his mother once again started badmouthing Laira complaining how much of an attention seeker she was and he should just divorce her now! But Alec as usual refused claiming that her retribution hadn't ended yet and God knows when will it end.

He got ready and made his way towards the hospital, he had no idea why he was so desperate to see those enchanting eyes of hers but the moment he stepped near her room, he heard the familiar voice of his mother as usually seemingly bursting her anger out on the sick woman but her one sentence got his attention.

"I wouldn't allow a woman like you to give a birth to my grandchild!" Alec froze and he had no idea why he felt the multiple burst of sparkles in his chest, the weird unwanted happiness spread all over him automatically bring a small smile over his lips.

Grandchild? Laira was pregnant. His wife was pregnant, he knew he had always been careful with her but from the past few months he had been really reckless with his release, he had seen taking pills many times whenever he left his traces in her body even thought it kind of pissed him thinking that she didn't want his child, but now he realised she didn't always take the pills, she was pregnant. He was about to enter the room to shut his mother but once again stilled when Laira's hoarse voice entered his ears.

"I don't want to bear your son's child as well, you can ask the doctor for an abortion, I am ready to give my consent." Laira mumbled emotionlessly snatching Alec's smile, his grip tightened over the door's knob and before anyone could further say anything he burst in startling everyone.

"But I wouldn't give any consent to it!" His eyes straightly went to meet Laira's tired ones, he expected a bit fear or maybe nervousness after all he caught her trying to abort his child but nothing she blankly stared at him for a second before looked away.
