22 CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Amaya's POV

I watch everybody laugh at the jokes Will was making. I'm not saying they're not funny or he's not good at it. But please, how could they laugh and laugh at something an ordinary stranger they know nothing about is saying?

I clear my throat while I take a sip of the juice in my hands, without even looking at them.

I dig my meal and fetched more inside my mouth, the next thing I feel someone nudge my feet and I lift my head but found everyone busy with their meals, then I averted my gaze to Will who was smiling at me and he winked.

What is it with his winking?

I ask myself.

"I think it's time for you to leave Will its getting very late" I say looking over at my watch which says 7:24pm.

Will smiles and nodded, dropping his spoons, he sipped his juice and looked at the rest

"I'm afraid my night of joke is finally over. I should definitely head home now" he says, standing up and fixing his dress. I stand up too and smiling, finally relieved he was leaving.

"Oh do make sure to stop by more often" Eunice said as she stands up to follow us to the door.

"Oh I will, I can't say no, especially to a beautiful family like this. Thank you for welcoming me today" he said and then got outside while I follow him out and to his car.

"I'm sorry if I got you angry, I was just trying to be friendly" he says, opening the door to his car.

"No problem" I replied.

He bent over and picked something which he handed to me and glancing at it, it was his card.

"Will you call?" He asks.

"If I don't call how do I collect my car?" I give him an obvious answer and he laughed.

"Goodnight Love" he says and stepped inside his car and drove off.

Once he was out of sight, I exhale and turn to get in when I caught a glimpse of someone peeping through the window.

I shake my head, crazy family.

"So, you got a very handsome man there huh?" Eunice said and wiggling her brows while Malia laughed when I was inside.

"Oh please he's just doing that because he crashed my car" I reply and they looked at each other then laugh.

"I'm going to bed now" I say, trying to escape their laugh.

I run up and locked my door.

Fweew!!

I glanced at the card in my hand, and just threw it on the table beside my bed and flopped on my bed. I was too tired to even change my clothes so I went to bed that way.

CHASE'S POV

Everyday I come back from work, I meet nothing at home. No food, no Amaya, nothing and each day Judith makes me angrier.

She's not been going to work because of the pregnancy which is almost two months old.

How was this girl ever my friend?

I feel so bad for me right now.

I was currently standing in Amaya's room, I wish it was all a lie, but she's truly gone.

Judith came home with the test we did to confirm she was actually pregnant for me, which means there's no escape for me. She really is pregnant with my baby.

Looking around and I decided to dial Amy's number again but each time it disconnects.

I know she changed her contact but I was just hoping for once I could reach her.

I have no idea where she is and that bugs me. I've meet up with that Mike couple of times but he refused to tell me anything and I couldn't just fire him because of that.

I walk out and overhear Judith on a call and it sounded like she was whispering.

"I told you I'll be the one calling, don't ever call me, or we lose everything"

And then her phone beeps.

I walk out and when she saw me, she cleared her throat and composed herself.

"Who was that?" I ask but she just gave me a force smile and looked everywhere before answering me.

"What do you mean?" She asks back but I didn't even want to care so I dropped the case.

"You know what? Just forget it. Do whatever you like" I say and shoved past her walking upstairs and to my room.

I went to bed with Amaya running through my head.

Amaya's POV

I was ready to go for work and Eunice was going to drop us at work today since I've basically made Malia car-less for the week. I still feel bad seriously and its been two days since the incident, so Eunice has been a life saver.

I hear screaming coming from downstairs and I rush down, to find out what is it.

"What's wrong?" I shout as I rush down the stairs and I saw them watching the news and I was now curious. Of course nobody answered me.

I just walked quietly to the front while paying attention to what they were saying.

I almost laughed and chocked at the same time. I just saw Will's picture on the TV and he was addressed as the owner of the biggest industry in England and what's more? He's the Prince of England.

Okay, I didn't see that coming.

He was said to be having a birthday coming up in a week time or so, and there will be a royal ball and a feast will be thrown for the people.

Well that's nice but whatever!

I turn to leave when I noticed Eunice have been staring at me, maybe for a while now.

"Uhm what?" I ask her, as she folds her arms and relaxed on her right waist.

"Your boyfriend  is the Prince, oh Lord. I knew I recognized him from somewhere" she answers and I open my eyes but then I burst into laughter.

This time around the others surrounded me and were wondering why I was laughing.

"He is not my boyfriend" I reply, catching my breath and just after that I felt my phone buzz in my hand and I look at it, the caller was unknown.

Igniting my brows, I answer it.

"Hello Miss Amaya" the voice said and I think for a moment trying to recognize the voice.

"Uhm Hello" I reply, unsure of what to say.

"I have been expecting your call, young lady" he says and this time I knew who it was.

"Oh uhm sorry, who is this?" I pretend as if I didn't know.

"Oh mind my manners, Its Will. I was the one that crashed your car two days ago and I asked you to call me but you didn't" he explains and I smiled.

"Oh sorry I didn't call. But, how are you calling me right now?" I asked.

"I have my ways Miss Amaya" he says and I could picture him smiling right now.

"Okay. Why are you calling then?" I further asks and he was quiet.

"Uhm I wanted to apologize again for crashing your sister's car" he says and I smile.

"You already did" I reply

"Oh uhm well, sorry ag-"

"Thanks for calling. I gotta get to work. Bye" I said and ended the call.

Smiling, I turn to see my family looking at me and smiling. Giving me this knowing look but I roll my eyes

"Oh please" I said grabbing my bag and walking out.

"We know how this ends already Amaya" I hear Malia shouts behind me and the rest laugh at that and I shake my head waiting for them to come outside.

"Whatever" I shout back.
