Being Yours

Kathy Pov

I was never so happy as I am today in my whole life as well as  anxious too while waiting for my doctor to show up. Once the door opened, I saw a tall beautiful doctor walking in with a soft smile. I stood up and smiled at her. She walked behind her desk and voiced, "Please, take your seat dear" I sat and turned to her.

She smiled wide and said, "Congrats dear you are seven weeks pregnant". I gave her my best smile and replied, "Thanks doctor" she nodded and asked, "Where is your husband dear?" I smiled softly and said, "I am not so sure about my test results, and if I confirmed positive I wanna give him surprise so I didn't bring him here"

By hearing me she chuckled and said, "That's so cute but next time bring him for sure" I nodded excitedly and said, "Of course doctor" she smiled softly and voiced, "Ok then let's see how your little bean is doing." with that she stood up and walked towards another door and I followed her. Once we get in she pointed to the single bed and said, "Lay on your back and tug up your tee dear" I did as she said.

She picked some white ketchup like a bottle and put some gel on my stomach, it felt so cold which made me shiver a bit. She used equipment on my stomach and strolled a bit then she suddenly pointed to the screen and said, "See, there it is" I saw a bean dancing. I smiled wide with teary eyes. She sighed in contentment. Then she pulled back the equipment and handed over tissues to clean me. She walked out while I dress up presentable.

When I walked out she was frowning at the file she was holding. I sat on the chair and asked in a worried tone, "Is there any problem doctor?" she shooked her head and said, "Nothing serious your hemoglobin is lower than normal so you should eat fruits and veggies a lot and I will prescribe some medicine have them on time. If you have any uncomfortableness call me immediately. Ok?" I nodded my head with a smile and said, "Of course, doctor thank you" with that I get my report file from her hold and walked out with wave.

If anyone told me that I will live a happy life two years ago I would laugh my ass off but now all I feel is happiness. I never thought I will get married and have kids someday cause I lived a trashy life from the day I remember. My name is Kathy, I am an orphan who lived in orphanage, not in cared one but bullying one. My childhood had many traumatic events so I grew a loner with social anxiety.

My only relief is even the bully orphanage sent all of us to school so I studied hard to get somewhere far from that hellhole. All I want is freedom. The wardens tortured us both physically and mentally thankfully not sexually. When I graduated high school I moved out of that prison. I badly want to report that orphanage to police but I was afraid that they will come after me. I don't want any more mess in my life so I let it go.

And worked a year in a cafe where they gave place to stay in their kitchen. After saving some money I applied to college through a scholarship. I got a seat, why not I am smart and had high academic scores. I took majored in arts and management. I worked part-time in same cafe but didn't move out cause I know if I did, then I should afford a palace which would cost money. After so many hardships I graduated with still no friends as I said before due to social anxiety.

I soon got a job in an event management company as an intern. They provided studio apartments for employees so I moved in with my little suitcase I own. Thankfully it is furnished so I just get necessities for living. Slowly and gradually I reached a higher position in three years as a team manager. I moved into a decent space apartment with two bedrooms. All went ok in my life. No friends but I had colleagues.

Then one day our company got offer to organize billionaire Jason Alexis's marriage. His family is big short in city, not only in city but also around in world cause they were always in world's market chart. He was a known eligible bachelor in elite world. So organizing his marriage is pretty big for our company. Our MD appointed me as team manager. So I felt so pressured but as my nature, I wanted all flawlessly

I did my job as perfectly and best as I could. Alexis and Masimo's family were impressed with me. But what we didn't expect is bride didn't show up on time, and all went ruckus. I was so worried about something going wrong. My anxiety began to shoot up so I walked into restroom that's where I met Jason who stood in front of a broken mirror with bloody knuckles. Once I saw it my anxiety doubled. He rushed to me, grabbed my shoulder, and said, "Shus". It was nothing but a command but his gentle smooth voice made me think straight at that moment so I calmed down slowly.

After that, he looked into my eyes and asked, "Will you marry me?" by hearing him my whole being paralyzed for a moment, I don't know what to say. He asked again, "Will you?" somewhat I was drawn to his words so I nodded my head slowly, and without a second wasting he dragged me to marriage hall. Once the crowd saw him all whispered.

He stood before priest and hold my hand and asked, "What's your name ?" I licked my dry lips and voiced, "Kathy". Before anyone in his family reacts priest began vows Jason said, "I do" without blinking. Priest asked me, "Do you accept Jason Alexis as your lawful husband" I hesitatingly nodded and voiced in low voice, "I do" he slipped a ring which is loose on my ring finger. I did same to him then priest announced, "I announce you both husband and wife. You may kiss your bride now".

He roughly grabbed me by my waist and kissed me like he gonna eat my lips. That was my first kiss and I didn't expect that gonna be this rough. Then he dragged me out of marriage hall and to his mansion. All my thoughts get snapped car stopped in front of the same mansion I lived for last two years. I smiled and thanked my driver who opened the door for me, "Thanks Mr. Henry" he smiled and replied, "You are welcome dear". I waved and walked towards main door.

When I came here first time everyone called me Mam or Mrs. Alexis but I preferred my name cause all who worked here is older than me. They hesitated at first but gradually all accepted my stubbornness and called me by name or endearment. I walked in and saw all gloomy and dull as I walked in first time in this mansion. I wonder why? I changed many things in this mansion all here loved me. But today it seems all odd. What happened? Did Jason's mom come here? Till today she hated me for no reason but Jason's father liked me so much that she had no choice but to act civil with me.

When I reached living room I saw Jason on couch talking to someone on phone. I smiled at him wide and walked closer to him to get his attention. Once he turned and realized my sight he nodded his head at me still speaking on his phone. I smiled at him and sat on the single sofa hiding my file behind me. I want to tell him after making some special moment. My railed-up thoughts got down when I heard Jason, "Kathy".

I smiled at him as brightly as I could. He cleared his throat and averted his eyes elsewhere. I know he is nervous, so I moved little edge to my seat and asked in soft gentle tone, "What happened Jason?" he sighed and said, "Kathy,  Claire returned this morning. I asked my lawyer to settle Brooklyn villa and some lump sum in your account and he will bring divorce papers, sign it and get ready, tomorrow morning you will be escorted to Brooklyn. Hmm?" with that he stood on his feet and walked out.

Wait! What just happened here? I was trying to process to wrap my head around what he just said. My whole world felt like collapsing in front of me, my heart broke into million pieces. I know this life is never mine but I never thought he would kick me out like I am nothing to him. Did he never a moment love me? Not a second then why does he sometimes see me like I am his world? I came halfway and I am kicked out halfway. 

What did I expect? When I have all unluckiness on me in this world. Ok, at least I have something to cherish he gave me not a villa or money but a life that's enough for me. My thoughts snapped when I heard a voice calling me, "Mrs. Alexis" I guess this is the last time I gonna hear this. His lawyer extended a file before me. I grabbed it from him with my shivering hands. Without reading anything I get a pen from him and signed every single page and returned it to him.

Then he gave me another file and said, "This is Brooklyn villa's paper and credit card with pin. This is your compensation. Miss Kathy" I smiled bitterly at him and get that file too. He nodded his head at me and walked out. I sighed and stood on my feet. I picked the file lawyer gave me and my hospital file and hopped stairs to reach our room.

Once I reached I get my old suitcase I brought here with me and filled some simple clothes cause the old clothes I own were all disposed of by Jason. After that I placed the property file on nightstand and removed the loose wedding ring put it along with file and I phone which he bought me and wrote a short note to Jason thanking for everything. Then took hospital file with me and walked down. All maids and servants with head butler waiting in the living room.

Butler Davis patted my head gently and said, "It's ok dear everything gonna be good soon" I smiled at him. He is one sweet man who helped me so much here in his fifties. He is like a dad I never had. I hugged him tight and let some tears shed. He consoled me by mumbling some sweet words. Once I part from him, head chef Laila hugged me and kissed my forehead. Then three maids in their thirties act like my friends. I had so much fun with them. They all together hugged me. When part from them my driver Henry patted my head and said, "I wish you all happiness in your life dear" I sniffed and nodded at him.

I wish I have a life after this. I have nowhere to go now so I walked aimlessly at streets. Its dark around, and my feet began to hurt, I felt thirsty too so I walked to cafe and asked for some water. A kind lady provided me with some so I quench as much as I could. She observed me and asked, "Are you going somewhere, Miss?" I shooked my head at her and sudden thought strikes so I asked her, "Mam do you have any work in your cafe?" she smiled and let me in. I guess I returned to square one again. Wait! Did I dispose the used pregnant kid from dustbin? Oh God! Help me.
