Chapter 229 - I'm pregnant

At a certain country, which happened to be where Alex, who was Jerry's now reside.

Alex could be seen in a hoodie and walking very fast and discreet down the street.

He constantly glanced above his shoulders and saw them still looking for him.

There are five men in black that had been disturbing his life. He didn't commit any crime, yet he was hiding around.

What does Leo want from him?

He had been living his life miserably, sleeping around with men and women, doing drugs and getting caught, but somehow, someone got him out.

It was Leo who was saving him, but now he wanted to bring him back. It's time for the boy to live a reasonable life.

Talking about blood, he was the only blood relative he had left. And the boy didn't choose all these, his father ruined him.

Alex didn't want to return. He wanted to remain here and possibly, die.

There's nothing to live for anyway. Everything sucks. No one cared.

Maybe Leo does, but his dad was after his neck. His father has hurt Leo so much that his affection towards him, Alex finds it to be ridiculous.

"There!" He heard one of them exclaim and he ran.

Hurried footsteps followed after him, but he didn't give up. He had lived in this country almost all his life and escaping is very easy.

He ran like his life depends on it and cursed inwardly, because those guys seem very determined.

Is it by force? He wondered and still kept making shortcuts, but they ended up seeing him anyway.

They were incredibly sharp.

He got to a store and slipped in right away.

The owner turned around, but he had hidden before he could see him and made those people suspect something.

He peeped and saw the man frown and then relax it. He seemed to assume no one came in and continued setting his shops.

He remained there till the men lost traces of him. He heard one of them speak up. "Sir, he escaped." 

He smiled in victory and his eyes widened when the man spoke again.

"You don't have to come sir. We will take care of this." 

Alex's eyes filled with tears immediately. Why would Leo want to personally come just to get him?

Why was he such an idiot?

He was supposed to hate him!

He slowly stood up and the stall owner turned back.

"What are you doing here?" The man was shocked.

The guards that were still within the premises, since they were sure he was around here somewhere, looked at the stall and saw Alex coming out.

"I found him." He alerted the others and strangely, the boy didn't try to run.

He walked towards them under the stall owner's scream and stood in front of them. "Let me talk to him." He said and Leo, who was still connected to the line, asked the guard to put him on the phone.

"CEO Raymond, what do you want from me?" He asked.

"How rude, you silly boy. Call me uncle." Leo said in a kidding tone.

Alex was silent. He looked so messed up. His original blonde hair has been tinted white.

He looked so thin, due to the excess use of drugs, yet still very handsome.

"Come home, Alex. It's not too late to bond." Leo said to him in a very tender tone and Alex burst into tears.

"Please." Leo added.

"But why?" He asked in a broken tone.

"Because we're family." Leo said.

…..

It has been two weeks since Sonya's accidental one night stand with Tim and she hadn't been feeling too well.

She wondered if she had contact a disease or Gregory's issues left something in her.

She had vomited a lot this morning and couldn't take it anymore.

She decided to go for a check up and see what this was all about.

She rinsed her mouth and groaned softly, hating how she was feeling so lazy.

…...

"When last did you see you period?" The doctor asked and Sonya didn't think much about it.

It hadn't dew, because ever since she was turned a demon bride, there's nothing like menstruation.

"Just test me and see if I've caught any disease and let me know if it's treatable. You've taken my urine right?" Sonya was impatient.

"Ma'am, you didn't contact any disease. You are pregnant. Two weeks to be precise." The doctor said.

"What!" Sonya exclaimed. 

"Congratulations ma'am." The doctor replied.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!, did you just say two weeks?" Sonya asked.

"Yes ma'am." He replied

"F*ck!" Sonya cursed before letting out a loud scream, pulling hard at her hair in frustration.

"It's not healthy for the baby." The doctor warned.

"What baby! Damn it!" 

....

"Why are you crying? Where are you right now?" Clara asked worriedly as she heard Sonya sobbed uncontrollably at the other side of the phone.

"I'm so done! Everything is over!" Sonya said amidst tears.

She didn't know who else to run to.

She had no one.

"Where are You? I will come to you." Clara said, her hand trembling.

"I'm outside your house." Sonya said. 

"I will be there soon. I'm not at home right now." Clara said and ran outside Leo's house, after taking the key to one of Leo's cars.

She spent most of her days helping Ciara focus on studying instead of playing around.

Mick spoiled her too much. She only had to give him a hug, and Mick will allow her to do however she wants, claiming she still had enough time for studying in the future. 

Leo, who wouldn't tolerate such a thing is busy with work because there are loads of work waiting for him, as he has been slacking off from work recently, due to the Gregory stuff and Alex's constant arrest by the police.

Clara saw Sonya sitting outside the entrance to her house with her head buried in between her palm, with a suitcase by her side.

She felt her heart break, thinking herself to be the cause of all this, she made her like this, she is a bad person, a bad friend.

"Sonya?" She called as she ran to her side and took her hands in hers, looking into her teary eyes, it looks like she has been crying for a long while, her irises are deep red.

"What am I going to do now?" Sonya sobbed and hugged Clara's neck, "I don't know what to do." She added.

Clara was about to greedily hold her, when she realises it is not the right time to cling in for a hug.

Her friend needed her to understand her situation and help her think of a solution. 

She pulled away reluctantly. "Let's go inside and talk." Clara said, helping her to her feet and pulled her suitcase along, as they made their way in.

…..

"Here, drink some water." Clara said, passing Sonya a glass cup.

"Thank you." Sonya said and down the content in one go.

Clara quickly took the cup and put it away, before sitting beside her and held her hands.

"What happened?" She asked in a low worried tone that is unlike her former self.

"I'm pregnant." Sonya said and burst into tears again.

"What!" Clara exclaimed, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"How could this be? He can't i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.e, he can only create." Clara started mumbling to herself, her hand shaking.

"It's not Gregory. I accidentally had a one night stand." Sonya replied, sniffing her nose continuously. 

Clara placed her hand to her chest and let out a sigh of relief. 'It's a human child.' she said in her head.

"I slept with a stranger, now I'm stuck with a baby. You know I wanted to abort it straight away, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. It is innocent. The baby didn't ask me to get drunk and slept with a stranger. I can't bear to hurt it." Sonya ranted.

After the doctor advised her to calm down and not hurt the baby, she got incandescent with him. It was like the doctor is responsible for the pregnancy. 

She asked if she could abort it straight away, but after the use of ultrasonic to check the fetus, which seem like the common trick the doctors use to change most pregnant woman who wanted an abortion's mind, Sonya realised it was not as simple as she thought it to be.

She couldn't proceed with it.

She didn't even notice the doctor's grin as she ran out of the hospital.

She had no idea what to do anymore, Clara is the only person she has in her life, so she came asking for help.

"It's okay, calm down. Do you know who he is?" Clara asked.

"I've met him in this country once, and came across him two weeks ago. We drank together and f*ck!... I don't wanna think about it. This is crazy." Sonya said, shaking her head.

"It's fine, we will find a way out." Clara said, hugging her head to her chest.

She wasn't sure what to say, because she is kinda naive to this kind of stuff herself.
