Chapter 33: The Guests

Mia Duncan's POV

"Mia, hurry up, we're going to be late to meet my guests," Liam was shouting outside of the stall that I used right now. I don't feel very great as my head was spinning and I felt nausea.

"in a minute," I said as I went to wash my face to look good. My lips were drained out of the blood that made me look so pale.

"damn it," I said before taking the red lipstick and put some on.

"there. Much better," I said as I went outside of the loo as Liam was waiting for me outside.

"what took you so long?" Liam asked me as I was smiling at him. I don't want him to worry as I tried to look my best for this meeting.

"Nothing, it just I have to pee," I lied to him before he took me by the hands and went to the meeting destination. I was talking and laughing with Liam before I could notice who were the guests.

"Gentlemen, I'm sorry I was late. My lady has to use the loo," Liam said with authority that made me looked at the guests and dear me, this was a nightmare.

"Not a problem, Liam. I'm sure the lady will be very great after this," the familiar voice was coming into my eardrum like a punishment. seriously, this old man likes to meddle with our lives, the Femme Fatales.

"it's okay, Liam. Come have a seat. I'm sure milady has enough of standing around," Val's voice was betraying me. The nerve!

"gentlemen, I was here to inform you that I wished to resign from my position," Liam said after we have our drinks and chit chat for a but.

"oh, that's very unusual, why is that, Liam? Any particular reason?" The old man said as he looked at me. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"yes, you see I've engaged for almost a year now to this beautiful lady beside me," Liam said as he took my hands. I smiled at him and gave him a little squeeze.

"ah, I see. well, you can keep your job, Liam. No need to resign," the old man said as he took a sip.

"well, that's the thing. My fiancée has to work overseas and I don't want to be stuck in the office for the length of the being outside of the country," Liam said as he looked very serious. The old man and Valentino were looking at each other as they knew about my resignation and were surprised that I did not tell Liam yet.

"where will you be going to, Mia?" The old man asked. I rolled my eyes inwardly as he was trying to be nice and polite after all the training and spending my time with him in the United States has made me get used to his harsh way.

"well, I have not to tell Liam yet as I wanted to tell you tonight but I have resigned from my post and will be home 24/7 for you, my love," I said as I looked at Liam. He was shocked but also happy at the same time.

"really? Well if you tell me sooner, I don't have to say to the head of Interpol, love," Liam said as he was apologizing to the old man.

"No worries, besides, I love to get to know my workers, isn't right, Val?" The old man said as he looked at me and when Liam was not looking, he winked at me. oh, you going to be yelled at after this, I thought as I smiled at him with my eyes told him that he better explained to me after this.

"Well, that settles it. Why don't we have the cocktails and mingle, shall we?" The old man said as he got up from the seat. Val got up from the seat as well.

"thank you so much for your time, sir. I 'm sorry that I just troubled you," Liam said as he shook hands with the old man and Val.

"ah, no worries, we all need to get out of the office now and then," he said before getting out of my sight very quickly. I touched Liam's arm and told him that I need to use the restroom. He nodded before I was off to get the old man.

"Alfred, wait," I said as I was walking down the stairs of the foyer. Alfred and Valentino were stopping in their tracks as I was coming down the stairs as fast as I could.

"How could you? You never told me that you knew Liam," I said as I was looking at him after I watched my breath.

"well, there's a lot of things that you don't know about, milady," he joked. I rolled my eyes at him as I crossed my arms in front of my chest.

"well, how was Scotland?" He asked as he looked at me like a father. I looked to my side and saw a mother with her child.

"it was okay. Even though I felt nausea and dizzy after I spend some time here. I never had those before," I said as I rubbed my temple as the dizziness was coming back into my head. Valentino and Alfred looked at each other before they looked at me.

"what?" I asked as I was confused by their action.

"it is best for you to see a doctor. We don't want anything bad happened to you, Mia," Valentino said as Alfred was about to get into a car.

"how were my friends?" I asked for the last time as I looked at them getting into the car. Alfred rolled down the window and smiled at me before speaking.

"They were fine. Everything has been arranged according to the plan," he said before rolling up again.

"what plan?" I asked.

"you'll see," he said before Val get into the car and it drove off.

"Mia, what are you doing here? I thought you wanted to go to the restroom," Liam asked as he came to my side.

"I don't feel so good. Can we go home now, please?" I whispered to him.

"yes, of course," he said before he singled the valet for our car. After a few minutes, the car was here and we got in before we drove off to Liam's apartment.

The next morning, I was feeling bad as I don't think that I can get out of the bed that made Liam worried sick about me. He called for the doctor of his family and he went to check on me.

"How are we feeling today?" The doctor asked me as he took my breathing.

"fine, good. I guess but I have been experiencing headache and nausea lately," I told him as he was checking my lungs.

"breath in, breath out," he said as I did what I was told.

"I'm …i'm pregnant? How long has it been?" I asked him.

"I would say about a week when was the last time your period?" He asked as he was cleaning up his apparatus.

"I can't remember," I said honestly.

"Hmm, well you better not do the hard work and going out so much. You need so much rest and don't forget to have vitamins and minerals that you needed. I will need you to come to the hospital next week. Does Tuesday sounds good?" He asked and I nodded as I was holding my stomach.

"I know this is out of the line but is Liam was the father of your child?" He asked as he looked at me. I looked at him and tears were streaming down my face.

"Okay, I wouldn't push it. You better tell the father of the baby and hope he will take responsibility," he said before getting out of the room and talked to Liam for a brief moment. Liam thanked him before he went to my side.

"How are you feeling?" He asked as he sat beside me on the bed.

"good, I guess. It just that I'm pregnant," I said to him. He nodded.

"well, that's funny. You might need to have some issue with the headache, wait did you just said that you were pregnant?" He asked again as he was blinking a few times.

"Yeah, are you happy?" I asked him as I moved my face away from him. I don't want to look at him if he was disappointed.

"happy? I was over this world, Mia. Thank you for giving me the give of life that I cannot wait to hold," he said as he turned me around to look at him.

"how long has it been?" He asked me.

"it has been a week since our last sexual encounter," I said, blushing at the mention of the procedure.

"well, that's my child. You are my woman and my future wife," he whispered as he pulled my face into a searing kiss.

"I think our wedding is overdue," he whispered after our kiss.

"hmm, I think we just in time," I said as I pulled him again and our intertwined fate has long begun, we don't even realize it.
