"THREE MONTHS LATER..."

My baby bump was already three months and thanks to Jasmine, I couldn't feel that burdened about carrying an extra human in my womb. She kept her words by being with me during these difficult times.

Jasmine took me on a shopping where we had some spree shopping for the unborn baby before going home. We bought a baby cot though we didn't know the gender of the baby yet but whenever we find out, it would either be painted blue if it turns out to be a boy or pink if it's a girl.

**At Jasmine's**

I was very tired from the whole shopping and I jumped into a couch at the sitting room immediately we got home. Jasmine joined me later after retiring all the baby items we bought at the store.

"You need to eat something already. The baby must be hungry by now." She said to me.

"I will but for now I need rest." I said.

"It's a different feeling being a god mother to my bestie's baby." Jasmine said to me smiling.

Jasmine was genuinely happy to see me waxing stronger during this time and she couldn't wait for the ninth month. She was really caring towards my unborn baby and if mother was also here, she would do the exact thing Jasmine was doing. Jasmine made me feel at home and I appreciated that. It wasn't easy taking care of an adult and an extra human growing in her womb.

All alone in my bedroom, I rubbed my belly feeling the movement of the little human growing inside me. I giggled at every movement and muttered to myself with joy.

"Hello baby, I really can't wait to meet you."

"I also know that you can't wait to meet mommy too."

I said to my unborn baby still rubbing my belly continuously.

On the other hand were the Kurtz feeling very worried about the chaos going on infront of their company. Mr Kurtz was given an immediate call by his personal assistant Stefan, informing him about the chaos. Mr Kurtz called out to the mercy of his entire family about the escalation of the shame they would be facing if they leave their home. Sebastian couldn't see the tension because he haven't put his mind there but he suspected that it might be serious afterall.

"Father so what do you intend doing then?". Hazel asked.

"I don't know Hazel. I'm scared, that we might appear on magazines." Mr Kurtz replied.

"Sebastian see where your mess landed us into."Mrs Kurtz said to him.

Sebastian couldn't take the unnecessary accusations anymore so he decided to walk away. An hour later, he invited his friend Liam over to his house since Liam was the only one that would understand him, during these difficult times. Liam entered into Sebastian's room and found him pacing round his bed room feeling so lost in thoughts.

"Man... ain't you gonna say something?".Liam asked him.

"Something like? My family are on my neck. I can't even breathe." He replied.

"You'll have to face the crowd on your family's behalf then." Liam suggested.

Sebastian turned towards Liam very flabbergasted at his silly suggestion. He wasn't going to that because he detest embarrassment so much. He wondered why there were so much troubles because of someone like me. To him, I didn't deserve the attention but I guess soon, he would know that I deserve even the minute attention.

"Liam why should I face the crowd? Nothing would change." He asked.

"You should bear the shame because you're the reason Bianca ran away." Liam replied.

"I understand that you still have feelings for her because she used to be your ex-girlfriend." Sebastian revealed.

Liam felt so ashamed of his words but he was actually spewing facts and the obvious truth. Oliver later joined them in their discussions going on in Sebastian's bedroom. He has been eavesdropping on them for a while now and finally decided to show himself. He felt it was a conversation between his fellow men and there was nothing there if he joins them.

"Oh Oliver hi man." Liam waved to him.

"Liam." Oliver waved back.

"Brother, thank goodness you came here because Liam is becoming too much these days." Sebastian said to him.

Mrs Kurtz called my parents over the phone suggesting to see them at a nearby high class restaurant where they would talk about the trending news. My parents came out with no choice because they would happily get involved in anything that had to do with finding me as soon as possible. Mrs Kurtz was on a face cap that covered her upper face a bit because she was hiding from people in the public and was avoiding their usual questions about me getting missing all of a sudden from Birmingham city.

"Everyone is slowly going mad. I'm tired." Mrs Kurtz said to them.

"You're trying to save you and your family from shame but it's my child that ran away so it hits differently." Mum said crying again.

"Why did you call us over to this place?". Father asked her.

Mrs Kurtz looked at my parents feeling so confused and heavy headed. She was only thinking about the safety of she and her family. My family was fully aware but wanted her to say it herself. She sipped a glass of water before trying hard to avoid the question but no way she was gonna escape that.

"You and your wife already knows the reason." She said to him.

"You're not the only one in this mess." Father replied.

"Is there something else to add to our already heaped up mess?". Mum asked frustratingly.

Mrs Kurtz nodded her head while my parents exchanged glances with each other. They wondered what would be under her sleeves this time. They gave her some sterning looks but she stood her ground not trying to be weighed off the balance by their looks. She brought out a file from her handbag, handing it over to father.

"The favor you granted me went void, so there is a new favor." She said.

"3million£? How are we supposed to get that before the year runs out?." He asked her.

"Then find your daughter or pay it off." She suggested.

My parents were going to hate me forever, because of the pains which I had caused them. They've been through so much lately because of me. They will never forgive me, for running away. They weren't as wealthy as the Kurtz and it would be difficult for them, to gather such amount of money.

Mother really cursed the day she bore me in her heart because of the unnecessary drama I was bringing into their lives recently.

**Back at home**

Father prepared some hot coffee for him and mother, but she wasn't in the mood for that. She wouldn't stop frowning her face.

"Are you thinking about what Mrs Kurtz said to us?". He asked her.

"Of course. Bianca is the bane of all these." Mum blamed me as usual.

"The sum she called is obviously huge, but I'll find a way to pay off our debt." Father assured her.

She wasn't okay with that. She just wanted me to return back home and go back to the Kurtz. She only cared about her own happiness and not mine.
