14 Chapter 14

"Congratulations. you are pregnant" the doctor said with such happy face. I really could not explain my feelings.

Should I be delighted? Should I shout to the world that I am so happy to be a mother?

The doctor might had wondered with my reaction. She was looking at me as if finding for an answer.

I smiled at her sadly as if I was trying to be happy with my situation. I could only touch my tummy to where the little fellow was growing.

I came from the doctor's clinic with emotions that I had never encountered.

I was still in pain with how we were with Charles. But we were now married.

Should I make this work?

Memories came to me that felt like my heart was stabbed all over again.

I called Sasha, but she was not answering. I decided to go to the company. The reception already was aware who I was unlike before. They would not believe at first that I was the wife of their boss but in time, they accepted that fact.

"Good day, madame"

"Good day as well, do you happen to know where Sasha is?"

"I am sorry madame. Last time I saw her, she went along with the boss" she said

"Is that so? thank you Clara" I said and went away.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" a powerful voice echoed in the lobby. I saw Charles' grandfather

"good day" I said briefly out of respect as Charles' relative.

"It is a good day, but I somehow have a foul moment to encounter wyou" he said,

I really wanted to talk back but I refrained.

"I really do not understand why my grandson was captivated by you" he looked down at me

"You hold beauty that was common and plainly unattractive"

"Stay away from my grandson..." he said and paused briefly

"You are no saint to be adorned by him" he added

I could not help myself smile at his comment.

"Grandfather, I assure you I am well aware of my plain beauty that even I could not comprehend his attraction towards me" I talked back

"And he is well aware of my past, grandfather. Despite that, he chased me down till I could no longer hide from him" I added. I did not know what my face show. I did not know how I feel right now.

It was not I who came back to his life. It was him entering my life again. This time he made sure that it would be difficult for me to run.

I did not want to be part of this family. I despised them to the core.

well...

Except for him.

Despite to what he did, I could neither unlove him nor hate him.

He was the only one I care. He already had my heart. But because of the past we had, I could not stop this stabbing pain.

It always made me cry as the pain continued to linger. I did not know how deep it was, but I could not stop myself.

I stood quietly infront of grandfather as I waited for him to say anything.

"In time, he will leave you" he exclaimed without hesitation.

I held my tummy as if imagining to what might happen. I rubbed my tummy in circles. It was on impulse.

"Good day sir" a beautiful lady bowed to grandfather with grace. I looked at her closely.

I remembered her. She was the one I saw straddling at Charles. Her disposition was like an angel. She was composed unlike the first time I saw her.

"Oh Clara!! " grandfather was delighted.

"my future grand daughter" he made sure for me to hear. Clara was delighted as well to hear it from him. She could not stop laughing as her cheeks were bright red.

The pain I felt at that day resurfaced but it eventually changed. It was deep. I felt a storm inside of me. I wanted to pull her hair and destroy that smile of her. She made me like this.

I HATE IT.

"Sam" Charles called out. His strides were long as if hurrying to come to me. But this young lady dared to block his way toward me. My facade was shuttered. The storm inside me became stronger.

"Charles" she happily called out and clung to him as if marking him. Charles slipped out and greeted her with respect.

"Clara, what brings you here?"

grandfather came close, "Charles, you two should dine for lunch" he suggested. I felt my eyebrow twitched. Was it possible for me to get this mad?

"I would love too, I know a restaurant nearby..." Clara kept on but I was not listening anymore.

I was simply ignored by this two beings.

Charles on the other hand held to my hand as if telling me to wait for him.

"I like that but maybe next time, I promise my wife for lunch" he said

All went quiet.

"Wife?" she asked with questionable face upon looking me from head to toe. Sorry I was not like you. I rather in pants and shirt than to show off that legs and cleavage out.

"Yes, my wife" he said and kissed my forehead as if he read my mind.

the hatred slowly dessipated.

"What nonsense is this?" grandfather inquired angrily.

"No this cant be" Clara inserted.

"I am pregnant Charles" she added.

Again, silence came.
