If We Ever Meet Again {I Had It Sequel} | ✔️

Chapter 16

You know those moments when everything that happened in your life just flashes before your eyes? Well, I was having one of those moments. Trying to work out how the hell I could have gotten pregnant when I’d only ever slept with Dante once in my entire life. Not to mention the fact I had a very slim chance of conceiving naturally. First, I was scared of this, the fact I had another life within my body. My first and possibly only child’s life. My boyfriend didn’t want children; he’d made that quite clear to me. The fear had worn off, the disbelief was happening now. I didn’t understand it when we used protection, it shouldn’t have been possible.

“Masumi, it’s going to be ok.”

For the first time in my life, Kiki was being kind to me. She had no other choice due to the fact I was having a breakdown in front of her. Standing up, she brought me over to the bed and sat me down, pads of her fingers brushing away the tears as they escaped down my cheeks. This was surreal. Strange, why was this happening now?

“Yeah… I just… I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

“If… I’m honest. This isn’t something you can keep from him, I think he deserves to know the truth.”

“And his reaction, Kiki, is going to be ‘get rid of it’. I…”

It was my child as much as his. I wasn’t going to get rid of him or her they were my baby. My unborn child, they deserved to live even if it meant that… A sigh left my lips. I was so sure of a life with Dante it was all I wanted now. To be with the man I truly loved and adored, to spend the rest of my living days with him. But this, this was something completely new. I was carrying the child of Dante Sparda, a half-breed. That meant that the child within me would be a quarter demon. Three quarters human, one-quarter demon. Just like Nero, if he was Vergil’s son.

“I can’t. This is a new life inside of my body. Growing in me. I have a responsibility. I’m a mother…”

A small smile grew on my lips as Kiki watched me, that dreamy look back in my eyes. I’d always wanted children but the thought of never being able to conceive always put me off, plus I always decided that there was never going to be anyone I would want to willingly have children with. But here I was. Pregnant and going to be a mother, I didn’t know how far along I was but it was more than likely I was about three months gone.

“You’re going to keep the baby?”

“Yes. I want this baby. More than anything.”

My hands rested on my stomach, never mind the details for now. I’d tell Dante eventually but right now, this was going to be my little secret. A perfect little secret, which reminded me of what I needed to do, I still had a job and a client right now. The money was going to be good and more than likely it would help start a life for the three of us, or maybe even the two of us. My child and I. It would all depend on how Dante reacted when I told him the news of my pregnancy. Still, with my mind back on the job, I turned to Kiki and smiled to her.

“I need information.”

“What on?”

“Aurora Stryder.”

Kiki smirked as she rose from the bed. Kiki knew everything about everyone. Snapping her fingers, she walked over to the window then motioned for me to follow her. Rising from my place, I headed over to the window and watched as she pointed towards a tall building.

“That, is Aurora Stryder’s home. Good luck getting in there though, security is tighter than my nana is with her money.”

“Any advice?”

“Night shift changes over at 11pm. If you’re going to get in to see her, try then but…”

Kiki trailed off as she looked down towards the carpeted flooring, I raised an eyebrow in curiosity. She knew something that I didn’t, then again she knew a lot of things that I didn’t know but this was something that I definitely needed to find out, her change in body language proved it.

“But?”

“She may be expecting you.”

How could a woman I’d never met before in my life be expecting me to turn up? Well, maybe because of her father being my client but there was no way that she could know that. Could she? Shaking my head, I gave Kiki a dumb struck expression, one that she sniggered at.

“Aurora Stryder knows who you are. Your father, her father, your job request? It’s not a surprise if she does just let you walk in to see her tonight… But still, I’d take some form of protection.”

“Thanks Kiki.”

I turned away and headed to the door, a smile on my lips. Dante wasn’t going to know about this, I could handle this on my own. I needed to prove that I was worthy enough to finish my own battles and complete jobs. Now I had the information, what was to stop me from doing this job by myself? Hmm? There wasn’t anything, I just had to be very careful with my condition now. And if Dante learnt where I was? Then he could come and assist me but right now, I had to prove myself. That was what I decided. I couldn’t let anyone else stand in my way of having a new life. The money was going to be mine. And Aurora Stryder? She was going to pay for opening the portals between the world I loved so dearly and this one. I was certain that she wasn’t going to get away with this mess that had been created because of her selfish desires.
