Chloe Knight is a caregiver to younger brother and sister after her parents are murdered. Not long after the parents death Chloe's younger sister become seriously ill and is diagnosed with leukaemia. In a desperate attempt to get a job she meets Jai...
A phone starts vibrating on the nightstand and I look over at it. I turn it over and see that Leila is calling.
Jai looks over my shoulder. "You should answer that." He climbs out of bed. "I have a few things I need to take care of with Bianca. Caleb's Lawyer is going to be there too. I sent him a message yesterday telling him what has been going on and he cancelled something to help me out. That's why everything is moving so fast."
The phone keeps vibrating. I pick it up.
Me: Hello, Leila.
Leila: About time you answered your phone. What are you doing today?
Me: I'm going shopping with a friend from New York.
Leila: Can I come?
Me: Sure, if you can handle being around two pregnant woman. You're more than welcome.
Leila: Make that three. I just found out I was pregnant today. I haven't told Ace yet. I'm not sure how he's going to react to the news.
Through the phone I hear. "What news, princess?"
"I'm pregnant." the line goes quiet.
I'm not going to listen in on there private conversation.
Jai walks out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his body. He looks at me. "Are you spending the day with Leila too?"
I shrug. "I told her about going shopping with Harley. I mentioned that Harley was pregnant as well and that we were going to be spend the day shopping. She told me she was pregnant and then the line went quiet after she told Ace she was pregnant."
Jai leans against the wall. "I'm going to see him after the Lawyers. I don't know what time I will be home tonight." He walks over to me and kisses me. You should invite Leila back here."
"I will."
"Great!" He walks out of the bedroom.
The phone starts to vibrate again and I pick it up. There's a sniffle on the other end of phone.
Me: Leila?
Leila: He... she sobs. Kicked me out. Where am I supposed to go?
Me: You can stay with me. Pack a bag and I'll be there shortly.
Leila: Okay. She hangs up the phone.
I pick up my handbag and head to the kitchen. I go through the cupboards and pull out a muesli bar.
Thats good enough for me.
I put a banana and crackers in my bag as well before I walk out the door.
Jai climbs into his car. "Did Leila call you back?"
I nod. "Ace, kicked her out."
"I'll talk to him." He pulls out of the driveway.
I wonder why Ace isn't happy about the news?
