chapters 16

you both have the same blood running through your vein" Amelia mother said interrupting her

"What!!!!" We both said together

"Its the truth Lukas, you are Amelia half brother" my mother said and I felt Amelia hold on my hand loosen

This can't be,it just can't be…

?Amelia?

I stood starring at them all, this cant be true, this is just one of their lies to separate us

"But how come?" I heard Lukas said beside me

"The truth is that you are not my son" Jenifer said starring at Lukas

"What???"

"You're the child my late sister had with Amelia's father"she said

" tell me this is a lie"Lukas yelled suddenly angry

"Its not my son, your mother died giving birth to you and I took you under my wings and treated you like my son, I wanted no one, most especially you to find out the truth but when I saw you with Amelia, I knew I had to do something" she said

I stood listening to it all,this can't be!!!Lukas can't be my half brother, he just can't

"The DNA test I did is here, you are Richard son" she said taking the piece of paper from my father and then handed it to Lukas

Just with the look on his face, I knew that it was the true, I still didn't want to believe, I kept on hoping that its all just a lie, but by seeing Lukas expression when he read the paper I knew that it was the truth

I fell on the floor and my mom and father ran towards me and even Lukas

"My love, my love are you alright"

"My baby are you okay"

"Do something Richard, I think she is losing consciousness"

I could hear their voices perfectly and I wasn't losing consciousness, I just felt so drain and I felt like dyiing, finding out that the man I love is my brother is just so heart shattering

"My darling are you okay" my parents kept asking and I felt suffocated, so very suffocated, I needed to leave, needed to be far away from all this, I removed their hands from mine and stood up running off like a mad lady, I didn't care where I was running to only if its a place where they won't ever find me

I could hear Lukas and my parents calling but I didn't care, I saw a taxi and hailed it and then got in, I could feel the tears pouring from my face

"Where do you want me to take you miss?"

"Anywhere as long as its not here" I said crying and he quickly did as he was told

?Lukas?

I stood in Amelia house with the rest, its been hours and we haven't been able to locate Amelia

I hope nothing bad happened to her.

"This is all my fault, I shouldn't have told her, she shouldn't have known" Richard said and his wife held him to her

I still can't believe that the man sitted here is my dad, that have been living a lie for years now and that the man I thought to be my father is not my father and that the girl I love so much is my half sister

Why is life playing a cruel joke with me, I thought as we all waited for Ava, Sophia and Emma to arrive so they could tell us if they found her but when they came it was all still the same, no one knew where Amelia was

I got so agitated and decided to go search for her, I was about leaving when my mom or better yet the Mom who raised me up held my hand

"Don't go and look for her, just stay here" she said and I gently removed my arm

"She is the woman I love and I won't just leave her like that, I won't" I said and walked off, I could only think of one place that Amelia could be, I got into my car and drove off

? Amelia?

I sat on the bed starring at the room that had been decorated with flowers, I knew it was all Lulas plan, he had done this thinking we will come back here to have our wedding night but that won't happen now right? because he was her brother, her damn half brother, why is life being so cruel to me, I thought as I cried and layed on the bed of Lukas room

I was still crying when I felt someone touch me and I knew who it was even before I turned to look at him

"This is so just unfair" I said crying and he pulled me to him hugging me tightly

"Your right it's not fair, not at all" he said holding me tighter and by just thinking about spending the rest Of my life without him, I cried a lot and he held me until I couldn't shed more tears

"Okay now" he said

"I will never be okay" I said and he held my cheek starring at me

"Yes you will be okay,you've got to stay strong through this, don't let this put you down" he said

"But I can't!!! I can't live the rest of my life without you,I love you so much" I said

"And I love you too more than life itself but its got to end now, you and I can't just be" he said and I pulled him close to me hugging me

"No no no, don't say that Lukas please dont" I said crying

"We can do something about this,they could have made the whole story up, let's go get another DNA test" I said but he gently withdrew from me

"No Amelia, they are saying the truth this time, mom would never lie about something big as this"

"But I dont want to lose you, no I dont want that" I said

"If it were up to me, this wouldn't be happening, I also don't want to lose you but it has got to stop, you've got to understand that" he said and he pulled me to him again

I knew it was hard for him just as it was hard for me but he is right, it has got to stop, they've got to finish this relationship of theirs

While I sat still crying, he helped me pack my things

"Your sisters are waiting downstairs for you, its best you go to them" he said holding my luggage

"So this is it then, this is goodbye" I said standing up

"Don't think about it that way, we are siblings after all and I could come see you whenever I have the chance"

"We both know that we want to be something more to each other than siblings, it wouldn't work Lukas, so let's just leave it as it is" I said and with one final look at him I turned about to leave but suddenly he pulled me back and kissed me

"I love you a lot Amelia, I love you so much" he said holding me close to him

"And I love you too, will always" I said starring at him, he gently pulled away from me and wiped off the tears from his face

"Go now Amelia, go before I change my mind and have you stay for good" he said and with one last look, I left his room and his life ….

?Amelia?

"Your pregnant Amelia" hearing the doctor confirm the suspicion have been having for some weeks now,I felt sad and happy

Sad that I can't possibly share the news with the baby father and Happy because am going to have his child

"You need to take care of yourself, remember its not only you anymore,its now you and your baby,so will you tell the baby father"the doctor said

" I will and thanks for your advice, have got to leave"I said and left her office before she asks more question

I walked through the hospital lobby, holding my stomach,I still can't believe that I am pregnant with Lukas child

Its been a month now, a month of loneliness, sadness and pain

I haven't tried to contact Lukas ever since the day I left his apartment and he has done the same too

For weeks I cried and tried to forget him but things weren't working, my family got worried and tried to do something but it all went in vain

After some weeks of crying in bed, I decided to restart my life, I even decide to go to work, what I didn't think of was that Lukas might be there

I got to the company that day and did all my work, I remember I was going to get something to eat when I saw him walking towards me with some men behind him.

I stood waiting for him to see me and acknowledge my presence but sadly he just walked past me, seemed Like he didn't see me

For days I kept on thinking that he just didn't see me, that was why he didn't talk to me but reality struck me real hard when I finally realised that he did see me but pretended not to.

I got outside and saw Ava holding a news paper but on seeing me she quickly hide it, she thinks that I wouldn't notice it but I did and just pretended not to

"So how did the test go" she said holding the news paper tightly

"Its positive Ava ,am pregnant" I said

Ava is the only one have told about my suspicion of being pregnant and she had kept quiet and had also insisted on coming to the hospital with me

"Oh Amelia" she said hugging me, I quickly used that opportunity to sieze the paper from her

"Amelia don't" she said trying to collect it from me but I held it
