Chapter 37

Amara's POV:

The winds were now hitting me like daggers as I walk out of the building. Things didn't seem as bright as before and I definitely was not happier. I place a hand over my stomach and tears well in my eyes again.

"It's okay, you have me" I whisper to the life growing inside me. I called for an Uber when I left the Penthouse so it should be here at any moment. Right then a black Audi pulled up and after checking it was the right car I get in.

I couldn't hold in the tears any longer and break down the second the car starts moving. The image of Selena and Vincent was stuck in my mind and no matter how much I tried to dismiss it and think about something else, I couldn't.

I spent 3 years of my life with him. 3 fucking years. I stayed by his side, supported him and his dreams even if that meant compromising with mine. After being raped I didn't want to stay here any longer. I wanted to move out to the suburbs and just get away from everything. But when Vincent found out he was taking over the company, he couldn't leave London. So I supported him and stayed here even though I could barely walk outside by myself.

But was it worth it? Staying here even though it impacted me so much mentally? All I knew is that I loved him and I promised to support him in everything. Sadness overwhelms me as I sob in the back of the Uber.

What about this child? Would I tell Vincent I am pregnant? Or should I hide it from him? I feel a headache creeping in and I sigh. I don't think this kind of stress is good for the baby. I feel the car come to a halt and see that it had stopped in front of Pandora's house. I thank the driver and get out.

I didn't know where else I could go but the only thing I knew is that I needed to see my sister. I ring the bell and a couple of moments later the door swings open showing Pandora.

"Hey, Amara! I've missed you so much." She's about to pull me into a hug but stops. "Wait have you been crying?" She asks and the water dam breaks again. She pulls me in and I sob into her shoulder.

"Haze put the kettle on." I hear Pandora call out to Hazel.

Wait let me back up a little, two years ago Hazel and Pandora went on a blind date and they just hit off. It was a little weird at first but they are perfect for each other. They compliment each other really well and just last week they started looking at children they could adopt.

-- 10 minutes later --

I had finally calmed down but hadn't told anyone what happened. We sat in silence and I sigh. I put the cup of tea down and take out the pregnancy test and give it Pandi.

"You're pregnant?" She looks at me and I smile.

"Yeah, I found out today." My voice was coarse from crying.

"Mimi if you want an abortion we will support you." I shake my head frantically.

"No. I do want the baby."

"Then? What happened?" Hazel asks comfortably and I give her the engagement ring. "You proposed?" She opens and her face drops. "He said no?"

"Worse." I take a deep breathe and sigh. "I caught him cheating on me with his assistant."

"That fucker. He is dead! You tell him you're pregnant and he does this?" Hazel gets up but I pull her back.

"I didn't tell him."

"What?" She whispers and I sigh. "I found out I was pregnant at work. Next thing I know is I am buying a ring because I knew I wanted to marry him. And it was the perfect timing since I just found out I'm pregnant. I thought he was at a meeting so I went to take a shower..." The tears gloss my eyes and my voice cracks but I stay calm. "He said he couldn't move past what happened last year."
