Eighty- eight. Their baby.

Eighty- eight. Their baby.

Ezekiel was beyond stupified the moment he pulled open the door of his study. He wanted to yell at her for leaving his room but his tongue seemed to have been tied. Yelling at her wasn't right. He knew without being told that it was wrong of him to deny her of the knowledge of her child secretly but that was what he wanted to do, what he had to do for him to get back at Elijah for taking his beloved brother away from him.

He stepped forward reaching out his hand to hold her but Monalissa took two steps back, her gaze lowering from his. It was as though he was diseased and she didn't want to get herself contaminated with him.

"Walker let me...", Ezekiel said trying to hold her again but Monalissa dodged his touch.

"Don't touch me!", she screamed, raising her head to look at him. This attracted the attention of Madam Angela who was coming to serve Monalissa the broth that was requested for her.

Ezekiel paled at Monalissa's words. Don't touch me.... Walker had never said such words to him. Even when she was stubborn and refused to listen, she still conformed to what he he ordered. Because he was her master. And even when they shared intimate emotions, she never recoiled from his touch. But now... She said not to touch her.

"Don't touch me", she said again, this time her voice was reduced to a painful whisper. Tears had already covered her eyes, dropping down like rain drops.

"I know you hate me", she sobbed. "I know I did you wrong and I can't get rid of that sin and I have no excuse for it. I know all of that", she said her voice shaky.

"Walker listen to me!", Ezekiel said in voice that was a little overbearing.

"No! No way. I'm not going to listen to you. Master, I trusted you. I trusted you more than enough, but did you ever, even have the slightest emotion for me?",she questioned.

"Miss Walls, calm down", Doctor Maya said.

Monalissa sent her a mouth-shutting glare before turning her gaze to Ezekiel again. "Master, how could you think of doing this?", she berated.

Ezekiel thought of using force to end this whole scenario however, when he remembered that she was Liliana, he dispelled such thought. He couldn't bear leaving her such a painful memory of him.

"That shit is Elijah's! Not mine", Ezekiel pointed out. "And there's no way am letting you have it".

"Well then I might as well go to his place and have it there", Monalissa said.

"That's not gonna happen. Not under my watch", Ezekiel stated.

"How sure are you it's Elijah's? When was I taken away? Probably some hours ago. How can it be his?!",she asked and looked at Doctor Maya then back to Ezekiel.

Ezekiel's brows twitched at Monalissa's words. What if...what if it was his?

"Master, it's always been you, taking me back and forth. How could you not even recognize your own? How could you not even trust me on this?", Monalissa cried.

Ezekiel's face turned solemn. His own...how could he not even recognize his own? But was it really his? He had very high doubts or maybe he was just scared of being a father. He had never been one before. All the girls he had ever been with, he made sure that they never got pregnant however, Monalissa seemed to have broken that record. Was this also the hand work of fate?

"You must have seen him behind my back. You're an assassin who's quite good with strategies, hope you have not forgotten that?", he said.

Monalissa scoffed. So typical. How could she have hope? She was really stupid. She wasn't one to give her trust easily but Ezekiel was an exception, breaking all her forts, making her fall in love with him and giving him her body, heart and soul. How could he do this?!

The agitation caused by this incident seemed to have stimulated a fierce churn in her stomach making the urge to puke a strong one. She gagged covering her mouth with her palm. Doctor Maya looked at her.

"Miss Walls, please calm down", she cautioned. "You don't have to be agitated like this", she said.

The gag continued and immediately, Monalissa rushed to her room, as it was closest to the study. She was unaware of the man's presence who followed her everywhere.

She retched hardly, making her insides burn. However, nothing came out. She sighed in exhaustion and tried standing but her legs were like jelly. Luckily, Ezekiel was there and immediately held her from falling.

"Walker, are you ok?", he asked, his voice really gentle.

Monalissa didn't say anything. She just closed her eyes as she didn't want to say anything that might end up hurting him.

Ezekiel knew she was protesting, and he didn't rebuke her for it. He walked towards the door.

"I will stay in my room", she said, coldly.

"Your IV drip is in my room", Ezekiel countered.

"Doctor Maya knows what to do about it", she shot back.

"It's fine. I can leave the room if you don't want to see me, but you have to take your medicine", he said.

Monalissa grimaced in anger, shutting her eyes in annoyance. Ezekiel secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and began taking her to his room. He couldn't afford to have her distance herself from him. Doctor Maya followed inorder to put things in shape.

Madam Angela stood petrified at what she ad just heard. Miss Walls was pregnant? And the master wants her to remove it? Tears gathered in the old woman's eyes as she could feel the pain Monalissa was also feeling. It wasn't easy to be a woman not to talk of being a mother. It would be too cruel to rip that child away from her. She didn't really like Monalissa at first but, for some time now, the young woman seems to have taken a special place in her heart. She had to talk to her young master about this.

Doctor Maya fixed the IV drip back into the cannula which was settled on the back of Monalissa's hand. She checked her over and over again, and nodded when she was satisfied.

"It's all good now Miss Walls", she said. Monalissa nodded at her statement.

"About this issue at hand", Doctor Maya began, "a DNA test would help solve everything", she said looking from Monalissa to Ezekiel. Ezekiel looked at Monalissa. He wanted to go against the test but didn't want Monalissa to hate him more.

"Alright", he said, surprising the two ladies. Doctor Maya arched a brow and then looked at Monalissa.

"You two should come to the hospital, at eight tomorrow", she said.

"You could just take our samples, why come over?", Ezekiel asked.

"The baby is still quite tender and it might go wrong if not handled delicately", Doctor Maya answered.

"Alright", Ezekiel said, "See you then at eight".

Doctor Maya nodded and left the room. Ezekiel had Louis drive her back to her hospital as she had more shifts to attend to. He also had bodyguards surround the areas connecting to Doctor Maya's hospital and her place of residence.

The room was silent again, except for the breathings of the two people staying in it.

Monalissa lay down, and turned to her side, not wanting to see Ezekiel. His presence made her angry the more, reminding her of her subtility.

"I'll be out now Walker, call me if you need anything", he said.

There was no reply. He heaved a sad sigh and walked out of the room.

Hot tears streamed down her temples when he left. She...hated him. He wanted to kill the baby. He didn't even want her to know about it! It was his baby. Their baby. But he couldn't even recognize it. She couldn't believe just how dumb he was. How cruel he was! To think that he would ever love her. She kicked herself for thinking so high of herself. She was his enemy and he would use every a d any means to get back. She was suddenly reminded that...he was still the devil.

The Soul-sucking org.

A figure walked into the chambers of the master of the Soul-sucking org.

"Sir", the figure said in greeting while kneeling. Neon looked at the person before him, anger swelling within. His plastered face hurt with every breath he took. Ezekiel was really brutal. The scene of Ezekiel beating him up kept dancing in front of him the whole day. He needed to make him regret and...Monalissa was already as good as his.

"Speak!", Elijah ordered.

Daya shivered to the floor under the sound of his voice. "Sir", she started, "Miss Walls is pregnant".

Elijah nearly fell off his seat. "What?!", he asked, his eyes widened in shock.

"Yes. And Mr Don wants her to remove it, at the thought that it is yours", she replied.
