CHAPTER 16 °°°

FERNANDA

I have no idea why I'm feeling this way, why do I feel upset? I waited months to see Jeromino again. Why was I waiting? Why did I miss him still knowing what he did to me was terrible? Why did I wish for my baby to be his? Why am I having struggles accepting who the father of my child is?

I opened my eyes slowly as I heard Jeromino's voice. For no reason, I felt light-hearted when I saw him but I have to be strong for myself, he did such a horrible thing to me so he doesn't deserve my concern or forgiveness. I've not forgiven Elias either but I've gotten a better way to revenge for what he did to me.

FLASHBACK*** Two days back before I put to bed.

"Do you have any idea why Jeromino and I know each other?" Elias asked and I frowned.

"Do I look like I care about that. I don't give a damn about that so stop trying to be all chatty with me. I'm in so much pain already so don't add to it" I said seriously.

"It was all planned. It's only normal in our group to use and dump girls, you're not the first girl Jeromino is doing such with so don't even think about accepting him as the father of your child because he will do it again and then dump you. I'm not feeling insecure about him because I'm pretty sure you're carrying my child" Elias said with a smile.

"That means you're friends with Jeromino?" I asked glaring at him.

"We were friends but not any more, ever since I crossed path with you I've decided to stop hanging out with people that will ruin my image. Fernanda you've become an important person in my life and I'm ready to pay for everything I did to you by offering all my time and attention to my child" Elias said slowly.

I'm not a fool to fall for that again. I said in my head as I glared at Elias.

"You will definitely pay for your crimes, you know that right?" I said coldly and he smiled.

"Let's not talk about that Fernanda. You're not in the position to worry for others, just concentrate on the baby and yourself for time being" He smirked.

FLASHBACK ENDS...

"How dare you lay your hands on my baby?" I shouted as I stood up then I snatched my baby from his hands.

"Get out and don't ever come back here because we all know who the father is" I said seriously as I swallowed hard.

"What do you mean Fernanda?"

"Elias is the father" I said slowly and he walked backwards in shock.

"What did you just say? When was the DNA test taken? You just gave birth today" Jeromino asked trying to catch his breathe.

"I'm pretty sure, I was Krystal clear so I see no reason why you're still standing there. The DNA test was taken early hours of today and the results came out quickly because we're desperate so can you Leave now and get out of my life" I said seriously hugging my baby as she suddenly started crying again.

"Let me help you with that, I think I can make her stop crying" Jeromino said worriedly staring at my baby.

Why's he still willing to help after what I said to him? Jeromino are you still trying to play nice?

"Stop pretending to be nice. Your help isn't needed here so get out, the DNA result proved everything. We have no connection, nothing happened between the two of us. From today we're strangers" I said seriously looking away and he stared at me for awhile.

"I wish happiness to both you and your beautiful daughter. I'm so sorry for what I did to you Fernanda and I'm hoping you find it in your heart to forgive me. I have no idea if we will ever cross paths again but I hope when we do, we should meet in a good fate" Jeromino said remorseful then went out of my room.

I went through so much already but why do I still feel this way towards you? Does this mean I still have feelings for you?

Next morning, Abuela and Dad came to the hospital.

"Fernanda what do you plan on doing? Elias is using the baby as an excuse not to go to jail. He did you wrong and you stayed quiet without fighting back" Dad said seriously.

"Fernanda dear, I think we've had enough of all this bad luck. You can't be forced to share your child with the one who did you wrong. I can't believe Elias is the father. We can still fight him in the court. He has no right over your child" Abuela suggested and I smiled.

"Abuela, Dad I've decided to let everything go. I don't want to keep on fighting for things that reminds me of the painful memories I had of that night. I don't want to keep on duelling on the past. Elias loves our baby so much and I don't see anything wrong with him getting a little approval ofÀ my baby" I explained and Abuela frowned.

"I've never expected you to think that way. I will never accept Elias as the father of my great granddaughter. He's such a despicable man" Abuela cursed and just then Elias walked in.

"Good morning Abuela, good morning Mr Bruno. Fernanda how are you doing with the baby?" Elias asked smiling widely as he came in.

"Fernanda I will take my leave now. I really don't plan on getting upset so early in the morning, I will be back in few hours time" Abuela said seriously.

"Abuela please stay a little longer, I want you here" I said slowly and she hugged me.

"Bruno is here with you so don't worry okay" She said patting my back then she left.

"Elias you're not allowed to come over here whenever you like, you should go with the schedule we created. I don't like the idea of my family leaving whenever you're around. Everyone is upset with you, they're all keeping up with you because I made them do so" I said seriously.

"I'm sorry Fernanda, I'm sorry for putting you in an up tight situation. I'm pretty sure we will get through this" Elias said slowly and I frowned.

It really annoys me when those who commit a crime, sneak their way out of getting punished. I said in my head glaring at Elias as he carried my baby.

"It's time for her to get some nap so lay her down gently" Dad said seriously with his eyes fixed on Elias.

"I just hate him so much" Dad groaned as he looked away.

JEROMINO

"Buddy what's up? You've been drinking for days. What's wrong? Did something happen when you traveled to Mexico?" Elvis asked curiously and I dropped the glass of wine in my hand on the table.

"Fernanda said Elias is the father of her baby" I said drunkenly and Elvis sighed frustratedly.

"Are you still on that topic? Come on Jeromino, it's so unlike to be attached to such things. Are you doing this because Elias won this time or because you've fallen hard for Fernanda?" He asked sarcastically and I hissed.

"Cam we not talk about that right now, I'm really not in the mood for that" I said sluggishly.

"Mino the only way you can win this fight is if you stop lying to yourself. Yes Elias won by having the child as his but he's never going to win Fernanda over. Fernanda isn't that stupid to fall for the guy who raped her. Do you have any idea how much she's suffering just looking at Elias?" Elvis said sarcastically and I sat up right.

"You're right Elvis but what difference does my situation make. We both used and dumped her, Elias raped her to satisfy his desires and I slept with her to show off. I'm the bigger jerk here, anyways that's not the case here. I just find it hard accepting the fact that Elias is the father. It's so impossible to get a DNA test done in one day" I said suspiciously.

"You know so well that Elias got dubious ways to get things done in his favor and it's also possible to get the DNA test done in one day"

"But I felt a connection when I carried her in my arms, for the first time I felt peaceful at the inside when holding a child. I maybe a total jerk but I know how to describe my feelings" I said slowly and Elvis chuckled.

"Don't tell me you're planning on going back to Mexico to make trouble just because of your mere confused feeling. Mino get your senses together, Fernanda is never going to accept you even though you beg on your knees" Elvis blurted and I frowned.

"It depends on how I do it. Excuse me" I said as I stood up and picked my phone putting a call across to Alvaro.

"Alvaro I want an original copy of the DNA result of Fernanda's baby and I want you to set up an appointment for me with Fernanda's doctor" I said over the phone.

"How do you expect me to get my hands on the DNA result? That's a bit hard Jeromino" Alvaro complained.

"I know you have your ways. I will be flying back to Mexico tonight" I informed then hung up.

"Jeromino you're trying to put up a fight with Elias and tonight will be a stormy one, why not postpone your trip till tomorrow" Elvis said sarcastically.

"I'm not known for losing so I'm leaving tonight" I uttered seriously as I held my phone tight.

AUTHOR'S POV

Jeromino is on the flight heading to Mexico when the danger alarm rang.

"What's going on?" Jeromino gasped.

"Passengers put on your seatbelt and sit still. Do not panick" The air hostess announced but suddenly their was a thunder, causing some engines to lose control.

"Jeromino is what?" Fernanda gasped in shock with her eyes on the TV.
