Chapter 45

"Are you okay?" Ian asked Amara. They were now in the limo and they were heading back to Ian's house. "Uhm, yeah but why are you asking me it's not like you care anyway." She said. "Yes, I don't care about you but I do care about the child that's growing inside you so in order for the baby to be okay then you have to be okay too." Ian said. "Uhm yeah I guess I am fine." She said. "Good" He said and they both kept quiet, it was a really awkward and an uncomfortable silence.

After a hours of silence they both finally arrived at the mansion and Amara got out of the car. Ian sat in the car. "Are you not coming out?" Amara asked him. "There is something that needs my attention at the company, so I have to go there now just go in, oh and by the way don't open the door for anyone and stay inside, I will call you every thirty minutes to check on you and don't ignore my calls." He said, Amara nodded and she went back inside. That was weird why was Ian talking like that, maybe there was some serial killer on the loose that knocks on people's doors so that they can open the door and kill them. But that was impossible because this forest had high security, there were sensors on the trees and house that could detect unusual activities or if an unknown person was coming towards the house. Or maybe he was just worried about 'his' child encountering any sort of danger. She rolled her eyes and she sat down on the couch in the living room. She sighed she took out her phone and she checked what was happening now on social media and just as she expected the Rodriguez were the new hot topic, well at least people were no longer talking about her. She still couldn't believe that the Rodriguez would go to such an extent just so that they could get Ian and Carmella together in bed. They were such a loathsome family and there was nothing that anyone could do to change that.

"Ma'am, it's already 2am, you should go to bed, it isn't good for pregnant women to stay up late, your body needs rest." One of the maids said. "Okay okay I'm going to bed." Amara said standing up from the couch she went into Ian's room and she took a quick shower and she put on her red silky night dress, then her phone rang and it was Ian, he had been calling her every thirty minutes like he said he would. She lazily answerd the phone. "Hey." She said, getting into bed. "Hey, did I wake you up?" Ian asked. "No i was just about to go to bed." She said. "Why are you still up at this it's not good for the baby." Ian said. "Yeah yeah I know it's not good I won't do it again, I was reading the new hot topic on social media and I didn't that time was passing by so fast." She said. "Couldn't you have waited until tomorrow to read the news and besides the Rodriguez will be a hit topic for a long time." Ian said. "How are you so sure there are so many things happening in the world why would people just keep on reading the same news over and over again." Amara said. "That's because I have someone who is adding fuel to the fire, and new topics about them will be published every week, poor Carmella her career will be over by this week and her investors will run away from her I mean who would want to invest in a person like her. "Ian said. "You really are a cruel person aren't you." Amara said laughing. "You sound good when you laugh, I rarely get to see or hear you laugh." Ian said and Amara was a bit taken back by his words. "Uhm, thanks I guess." Amara said blushing, why on earth was she blushing for, she mentally slapped herself. "I mean it. I'm going to take you somewhere when I come back tomorrow, wear that yellow v neck dress it suits you."He said. Amara was shocked, this was the first time Ian had been this nice to her, why was he being so nice, was he changing no, maybe he was just trying to keep her happy so that there wouldn't be any complications with the baby and to avoid a miscarriage. "Thanks for the compliment, uhm I'm going to go to sleep now." She said, she wanted to end this call quickly before she got the rong ideas in her head. "Alright I'll see you tomorrow, goodnight." He said. "Goodnight." She replied and she hung up the call. Amara felt the need to cry but she stopped herself, it was not her fault that their relationship wasn't a normal one or what she had dreamed of ever since she was young. Sometimes she wished that it could be normal and that they wouldn't just be a happy couple in front of others but behind closed doors too. But maybe those dreams of hers were just going to stay dreams forever maybe there was no hope for them. Life really wasn't fair for everyone but sometimes suffering can only bring you happiness at the end of the day. 'Just a little more time, maybe my infinite smile will return and I will be the happiest girl on earth.' She said to herself, trying so hard to believe her words but she found it so hard to believe them. But she kept on telling herself that everything would be fine and that God always has a plan, she just has to find a way out of this sorrow and everything else would follow up later. She turned off the lamp light and she pulled the blanket over her head and she dozed off with her mind full of questions that she didn't know if anyone had any answers to them but only time would tell.
