Victoria's POV
I felt a great deal of fear in me as I rubbed my hand on my stomach while staring at Kelvin, who couldn't meet my gaze.
I closed my eyes and remembered how I was being hit on the bedstead and how blood rushed down my thighs.
I opened my eyes in panic as I moved closer to Kelvin and shook his arms,
''Please tell me I'm wrong.'' I begged while seizing my breath
He took in a deep breath before speaking
''Did he knew about it''? He asked,
''That doesn't answer my question, why do I feel so much pain in my stomach.'' I demanded in fear.
He released an heavy sigh while he ran his fingers through his hair before speaking
''You lost the pregnancy, the hit on your stomach was too much, I'm sorry.'' he murmured those words to himself, but I could clearly hear him
hearing those words from him, I knew he was right.
I remembered the so much blood running down my thighs and the pain I felt in my stomach.
Slowly I stood up from the bed and walked around the room as the blood coming from my hand due to the forceful removal of the needle in my hand fell on the floor.
A different and painful pain envelopes my heart, my heart was in pain, so much pain that I gasped in fear.
Even if I hated the father so much, this baby was my baby and shouldn't have been taken away from me just like that.
''Please come and have some rest.'' Eli spoke up, almost like a plead.
I shook my head as I felt hot tears running down my cheek.
I leaned on the door with my back as I locked eyes with Eli, who stared back at me with a pity look.
''You liked me right ''? I asked in a chilling voice
He raised his eyebrows confused, before speaking up
''Why asking such question.'' he asked while staring at me with curiosity
''I need an answer from you.'' I spoke in a low voice, almost like a whisper.
He stared at me for a while before he took in a deep breath and shifted uncomfortably on the bed
''I liked you but stopped liking you the moment I knew you were alpha Eric's mate and knowing he likes you so much, I decided to step back and besides I have found my mate.'' he muttered those words with a weak smile on his face.
I stared at him and noticed how his face lightened up the moment he made mention of finding his mate, it was obvious he really loves his mate and he was happy.
''She must be really lucky to have someone like you.'' I murmured in pain when I remembered all Eric did to me when he found out I was his mate.
''Eric never loved me or accepted me, he always expressed his hatred for me any given chance as if that was not enough he made a fool out of me.'' I murmured in pain and sat on the floor with my back still to the door,
''I don't know what might have happened between you guys, but I'm sure he really likes you.'' I did not let those words finished from Eli's mouth before I cut him off.
''He doesn't love or care for me, he just wanted me for his selfishness and made mockery of me .he never did love me, all this was just a game to him.'' I yelled in tears as I remembered the moment I spent with him, thinking he was someone else.
Eli shook his head but did not say a word.
I stood up from the floor, walked over to the bed and sat beside Eli
''Thanks for everything, I need to go.'' I stood up from the bed and was about walking away when Eli held my hand.
I turned around and stared at him
''Where are you going.'' he asked in a worried tune
''I don't know.'' I shook my head as I had no idea of where to go.
He stood up and made me stared directly at him,
''What do you want me to do for you.'' he asked seriously.
I took a deep breath in pain as I thought of what to do next.
Eric will definitely trouble my life if I stay in this country, he will make sure he shows his face in my life and will want to have me back if only I stay in this country.
''I need to go away.'' I spoke almost like a whisper but, I knew he heard me.
''Take me away from here, if you really want to help.'' I spoke in a pleading voice as I took hold of his two hands and pleaded,
''I don't want to see him ever in my life and I don't want him to find me ever again.'' I begged,
Eli shook his head and stared at me for a while contemplating on what to do, he took in a deep breath but didn't say a word.
Seeing his hesitation I knew my wish could not be granted.
''Not to worry, I can do it on my own.'' I murmured angrily and tried moving away from him, but he tightened his grip on me and stood up from the bed
''Relax and let me think.'' he muttered those words while in deep thoughts
He took in a deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair before speaking
''I will help you leave this country, but you will have to change your identity in order for him not to find you.'' he murmured those words and let go of my hands
''Thank you, I promise not to disturb you for anything.''
He moved closer to me and wipe off the tears on my cheek.
''I have to go prepare your paper, sit and relax.'' he smiled at me before leaving the room.
I took in a deep breath and walked up to the bed and sat on it.
I closed my eyes and all I could see was Tim's eyes ,it was still a great shock to me that Tim was Eric all along.
Eric's POV
''Sir, we are landing in five minutes.''my secretary announced to me,
I opened my eyes and sighed in relief as I felt my nerves calming down.
For the past twenty Three hours I have been restless and couldn't sleep as I felt my wolf howling in pain and fear.
I stood up from the chair and walked out of the private jet as my secretary walked before me and opened the car for me.
I entered the car and told my driver to take me to Victoria's apartment.
I pulled off my jacket as I found it hard to control my breath, I ran my fingers through my hair as I continued thinking about Victoria.
All the information I got from father and Kelvin wasn't helping at all.
''We are here, alpha.'' my driver's voice brought me out from my thoughts.
Without wasting a second, I opened the door of the car and rushed to Victoria's door and knocked on it impatiently.
I knocked a few times before the door was opened, standing before me was Sonia Victoria's friend
''Please come in.'' she moved aside from me to get in.
The moment I got in, my nose perceived a familiar scent, so fascinating and intruding.
I closed my eyes and moved to the direction the scent was coming from, I walked from the door until I stood before the closet.
I opened it and noticed the scent was coming from a towel, I took it out and placed the towel in my nose as I perceived the familiar and fascinating scent
''Mine.'' I muttered out in pain
I inhaled the scent from the towel one more time before taking it off from my nose, I turned around and met eyes with Sonia who was staring at me with curious eyes.
''What happened.'' I asked,
She took in a deep breath and shook her head before speaking up
''I last saw her the day before yesterday, when she left for work, and since then, I haven't seen or heard from her, but I heard she was out with one of the workers from the club.
''Who could that be.'' I asked in panic.
''Gracie.'' she murmured
I nodded my head and picked up my phone and dialed a number, it rang a few times before it was picked
''Hello sir.'' he spoke up
''Gracie, get her for me.'' I muttered those words and ended the call.
I kept back the phone in my pocket I moved my gaze to Sonia, who stared at me nervously before looking away.
''Do you have anything to say to me.'' I asked with my gaze fixed on her,
She stood there but did not say a word
Quickly I moved closer to her and stood before her, but she couldn't meet my gaze,
''Please speak, I need all the help I can get.'' I pleaded
She took in a deep breath and nervously sat on the bed with her eyes on the floor before she spoke up
''Victoria is pregnant.'' she whispered those words to herself, but I could clearly hear her.
''What did you say''? I asked to be certain I heard her right.
''Victoria is pregnant, I think that might be the reason she decided to stay away from everyone.'' she murmured.
Hearing those words from her, I felt an overwhelming joy in my heart, Victoria was pregnant with my baby and I did not know about it, I was too blind not to have noticed it.
''That scent.'' I whispered to myself, when I remembered the different scent she was producing few days ago, I saw the signs, but I never knew it was the signal.
''But she isn't sure who the father of the baby is because she had sex with a DOM at the club.'' she murmured those words with fear.
I released an heavy sigh when I realized she did not know I was the same person.
''The baby is mine.'' I murmured and ran my fingers through my hair.
I wanted to ask her further questions when I noticed my phone ringing.
Quickly I went for the phone and noticed it was the manager calling me.
''Hello.''
''Hello sir, she is right here with me.'' I did not let him finish before I spoke up,
''I'll be on my way.'' I muttered those words and ended the call before shifting my attention to Sonia
''Do you think she might have run away because of the pregnancy?'' I asked
''I think so.'' she nodded her head at me,
I sighed in pain and roughly ran my fingers in my hair before leaving the room.
I got into the car and told my driver to take me to the club.
Within few minutes I was at the club, I took the back door and walked over the manager's office.
I opened the door and saw Gracie sited in a chair while the manager was sitting opposite her
''Good day sir.'' he stood up from the chair and lowered his head in respect.
I nodded my head at him before moving my gaze to Gracie who stared at me with wild and curious eyes.
''You were the last person seen with Victoria, do you know her whereabouts.'' I spoke in a calm demanding voice.
She gulped nervously and looked away before she spoke up
''We went to a new bar, few miters away, we both took a table and was drinking when I noticed an old friend of mine in the bar and went to say hello, but when I came back, I couldn't find her in the seat.'' she whispered those words in fear
''When was this.'' I asked
''Last night around 9pm.'' she whispered nervously.
''What's the name of the bar.'' I asked as I brought out my phone from my pocket.
''lotus drinking bar.'' she muttered slowly
I nodded my head and left the managers' office, I got into my car and asked my driver to take me to the bar.
With the look of things it seems Victoria did not leave on her own because how could she just disappear like that when she was having a drink with a friend.
In few minutes the car was parked in front of the drinking bar, I rushed out of the car and walked into the bar, I went to the bartender and requested to see the manger.
In few minutes the manager came to me, he took a better look at me before he recognized me.
''Alpha, Eric?'' he asked to be sure,
''Yes.'' I nodded my head at him,
''Please come in.'' he showed me the way to his office.
I got into the office and sat at on the visitor's seat
''To what do I own this surprised visit ?'' he asked
''I need to see your CCTV cameras for yesterday around 9pm.''
He stared at me for a while but didn't say a word before standing up
''Please come with me.'' I stood up from the chair and followed him out of his office.
We passed a few rooms before he opened a room door, entered in and asked me in.
I got in and noticed we were in the camera room.
''Please sit.'' he brought out a chair to me, I took the chair and sat on it while he talked to the guy in charge of the security cameras.
They talked for a while before the manager nodes his head and walked up to me,
''You can go see for yourself, sir.''
''Thank you.'' I stood up from the chair and walked over to where to security guy was sitting.
''Sit sir.'' I took the seat beside him and watched him typing something in his system before the video started displaying,
''This is from 9 pm upward, and the camera is located at the entrance, so you just have to spot out who you are looking for.'' I nodded my head and focused my gaze on the big screen, praying silently that everything works in place.
I watched the camera for a while before I noticed Victoria waking in with Gracie,
''That's she.'' I pointed at Victoria,
He nodded his head and looked at the direction she went before typing something on his system.
The video changed from the entrance camera to the bar table camera.
He moved the video until I was able to see where Victoria was sitting with Gracie.
I sighed in relief as I felt my heart beat pounding in fear.
I watched as she was taking to Gracie for a while, then suddenly Gracie stood up from the chair.
I took a better look at Victoria and noticed she was looking at a certain direction and was a bit uncomfortable.
I noticed how she kept on taking a sip of her drink nervously as she stares at the particular direction, watching her reacting that way I knew something was wrong.
I was about asking the guy to move the camera to the direction Victoria was staring at when to my greatest shock I saw Michael standing before Victoria with an evil grin on his face,
''Shit.'' I muttered out in anger and fear.
