Drake sat quietly trying to digest the information he just got. It couldn't be,he thought. Was that why she was rejecting him, because she is expecting his child. Was she ashamed to be carrying his child in her or what? No, he needed to go see her now.
"Turn this car around now, we are going back to the States". he ordered. The driver was confused but did as he was told.
"Drake, are you alright?". Officer Jacob's asked worriedly. He totally forgot that he was still on the line.
"Yes, I am. Thank you officer, and if you don't mind I will send some of my men to help you keep her safe from any harm. Whenever she leaves the house make sure she is being followed by them, do you understand!". he said with the authoritative voice.
"Don't worry, I know how to do my job well boss", he teased then hung up. Drake couldn't believe what he had just heard. He couldn't believe he was about to become a father, a father!.He knew the child was his, because according to the reports from Officer Jacob's, the only place she went to was the company and hospital after their encounter.

Jessica had cried for hours wishing she would just die in her room in peace. She locked herself up in her room since last night and her mother became worried that she would do something. She called her many times, but got rejected. She became angry that her husband had caused pain to their daughter instead of the other way round.
She wondered what he must be doing right now. Probably thinking of something stupid to do. She would have gone to his place to talk some sense into him provided Jessica came out, until then she is not leaving this house, for fear of returning to find her daughter dead.
Several hours passed, and Jessica still hasn't come out of her room to have something to eat. Olivia even sent a maid to send the food to her room, but Jessica didn't allow her in. She became deeply worried not only for her daughter, but also for her grandchild also. She tried many times but still Jessica didn't speak to her to let her know she's okay.
Sheer panic struck her as she thought of what might have happened. She ran to the hall then called the butler and ordered him to stay by her daughter's room door in case she came out. She immediately called the driver also for him to be prepared for their departure. Her only hope now is Drake and she would do anything to drag him here to her daughter's side, no matter the cost.

Drake arrived back in the States earlier then went straight to his house. He was filled with happiness and also sadness at the same time. Happy because he was going to become a father, and sad because she hadn't told him herself, which meant she didn't want to.
He imagined a little boy or girl crying whenever he held them. A little boy or girl running to him calling him daddy with their cute little tiny voice. All those feelings already wanted to make his heart explode. He couldn't wait to see her again with his eyes. To look at those beautiful eyes that looked like fresh flowers from the garden, which always made her look exquisite.
While he was busily daydreaming, Olivia was making a scene at the company. She insisted on seeing Drake or she would not be leaving. His secretary Gina told her he was out of town, but she didn't believe her. Later, Drake's Personal Assistant came to her aid.
"Madam please. Mr. Lincoln is back in town but is at his house, not here", he said pleadingly.
"Thank you". Olivia said "Where is his house located".she asked as tears began to form in her eyes. The man felt sad and quickly called a guard in.
"Take her to the boss's house". he ordered. After that, Olivia quickly followed, then they drove to Drake's house.

Alonso was busily making plans of how to destroy Drake's life after his daughter gives birth. Right now, he will just try to hold it in while his daughter is still pregnant. After she delivers, he will start with his plans. He was looking at the documents he signed with Drake for their companies to become partners and felt like tearing them apart.
But he was going to keep it calm, since it can also help him someday. His phone started ringing and he saw butler Jeffrey's face lit up, his butler which he sent to take care of his daughter after she was kidnapped. He knew the old man was about to scold him for saying that to her , but was utterly surprised by his comeback.
"Alonso, you need to get your ass here right now, if you don't want to lose your daughter and grandchild today.".
"What do you mean by that?".Alonso asked.
"Your daughter hasn't eaten or drank anything for two days now, not even water. And we haven't heard her voice from her room ever since she ran to the room and locked herself up, which means something has definitely happened to her". Jeffrey said with a concerned voice.
"WHAT, I'M ON MY WAY NOW".Alonso shouted then hung up. He was surprised at his own behaviour but didn't mind. No matter how much his daughter disappointed him, she was still his light, and he won't let that light die out.
Drake was sipping his coffee when he heard some commotion outside. Later, Santo came in looking at him worriedly. Before he could open his mouth to speak, Olivia stroked into the hall with tears falling down her cheeks.
"Please, my daughter. I need your help with my daughter, or she would die with your child in her. I know you had sexual relations with her, and she's now pregnant but refusing to eat or drink anything. She had locked herself up in her room for about twenty six hours now and refused to talk to me. Please, I need your help, you might help her if you try something.*. she begged him holding his knees pleadingly as she sobbed much more while Santo tried to pull her up.
Drake was feeling sorry and shocked at the same time. Was Jessica trying to kill his child? "Get the car ready". he ordered. Santo left the pleading woman and left to do what he was told. Olivia raised her head and looked at Drake. He helped her up and they left for the car. As soon as Olivia's car moved, he followed suit and he left to go to his child and the woman he loves.

Alonso was trying his best to make Jessica open the door, but was to no avail. He even went further to apologise for his behaviour yesterday, but she still didn't. He also became deeply worried when he heard nothing from her on the other side and almost ordered for the door to be broken down when he saw Drake with Olivia.
"You, what are you doing?"he growled. Drake was stunned but was not here to fight, but to make sure Jessica was safe. He leaned on her door then whispered
"Jessica, if you can hear me, it's Drake. Please open the door, you are making me worried. I am sorry for rejecting and not calling you back after you called. When you ran out of my house and didn't call me after a few days, I thought you had forgotten about me, and I was brokenhearted. That's why I didn't answer yours. I didn't know you were pregnant until recently when an Officer I hired to look after you told me he had seen you in a hospital multiple times. I know you didn't want me to know, and I've tried to forget about you but it seems I can't, and now that we are expecting a child, I don't think I ever can. I love you Jessica. You were a vision before, but now you are a dream in human form. So, open the door and let's talk about this please, I'm begging you". he pleaded sadly.
Alonso became irritated and almost pounced on Drake when the door slammed open as Jessica ran towards Drake and hugged him. "I love you more". she said.
