((( CLAIRE )))

He loosened his arms from me,

"How did you know?"  

"I heard the maids talk about it."

"Oh, I remembered. Today is your mother's death anniversary," Dr. Edifuna told Zhio sympathetically. And abruptly, she turned her gaze at me,

"You shouldn't look so happy today."

I held Zhio's hand tightly.

"How dare you say that," Zhio's voice was cold.

"And the curse might befall on Claire," she continued, "I'm sorry but isn't that true?"

"Zhio…" I shook my head at him.

"I'd be afraid if I were you Claire," she gabbled on.

"How dare you!"

"You should've just picked Mr. Brundon as your better-half."

"Master Zhio!"

A male servant entered suddenly but stood still when he saw Dr. Edifuna.

"Let me guess. The news about Mr. Cantheliz's pregnant woman has spread to the public?" the doctor's voice seemed unalarmed.

"FUCK!" Zhio bolted straight but I tugged at his arm. His eyes remained at the doctor,

"I could kill you!"

"Zhio…" I pleaded for him to calm down.

"Take Claire out," he ordered at the servant who immediately approached to get me.

"No. Zhio," I continued tugging his arm.

"Out!" Zhio shouted at me.

I let go of his arm in surprise.

"I'm sorry Claire. Please go back to our room for now," he held my shoulders gently.

I nodded and walked away with wonder as to why the OB acted the way she did. Did she hate the Zel Cantheliz clan?

I proceeded to bathroom to change but when I returned to the bedroom, Zhio was already sat at the bedside squab. He was gripping the cushion in an obvious restlessness.

"Hot-tempered again?" my lips curved.

"Dr. Edifuna turned out to be the youngest sister of my mom."

I was wordless.

"…Long lost sister," he pointed out sadly.

"S-she's your aunt then?"

"Yes," he sighed, "that's why she was so confident in mocking me."

"How did you know?"

"She revealed it. She showed me her teenage picture with my mother."

"…And why is she angry?"

"Because of the reason why my mother died."

"No, she shouldn't blame you."

He didn't respond at my reply but asked me a question in return,

"How about you Claire…would you leave me and our baby?"

I stared at his worried face.

"I don't have any power over death Zhio. But I don't believe that curse. Don't worry, I'll fight through this pregnancy."
