"Okay mum. I just got home now. I'll come check up on you once I am done." Abigail said over the phone as she alighted from the cab that brought her home from work.
"I told you that it's okay to not visit today. You can come tomorrow." Abigail paid the cab man and opened the gate to her father's mini mansion.
"Mum, you know I can't go a day without seeing you. I'll come over with Liam later. He's the only reason I didn't come straight from work. I love you mum." She smiled as she hung up the phone and opened the door to the living room.
The house was quiet. Probably the rest of the family are not back yet.
Liam must be waiting for her in her room. She felt giddy with excitement. It's been six months since they saw each other, but they've always been communicating.
Most times, she wonders why he chose to love her of all the girls back in school. And also considering the fact that her life was not as smooth as his and she has nothing to offer him.
She tip-toed upstairs, trying to hold back her laughter as she wanted to surprise him.
As she neared her room, she heard strange sounds that got her confused. On closer observation, she confirmed those sounds to be sounds of someone being pleasured. She looked around to make sure she was at the right door.
"O Liam, you're such a naughty boy." That was her slutty sister, Zoey.
Frantically, she pushed open the door and indeed she was met with the sight of her sister, riding her boyfriend of six years. She suddenly felt cold.
"Liam?" She called out his name, afraid to believe what she was seeing, and in her room also.
"Hey, Abby." Liam threw Zoey off of him and tried to put on his pants and clothing while Zoey just stared at her. Tears were streaming down Abigail's face.
"Ouch!!! I'm okay." Zoey taunted her as she relaxed more on the bed, smirking.
"Abby. Look at me. It's not what you think." Liam made an attempt to approach Abigail but she stopped him with a slap.
"Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands. It's not what I think? Yes, you're right Liam. It's not what I think, it's what I just saw displayed in front of me right in my own room." She wailed as she held her chest.
"You're the best thing that has ever happened to me in this town and you just ruined it all. You ruined us Liam. Why? How could you do this to us?
"How could you do this to me? This was not what we promised each other. It was till forever, you moron. How long has this been going on?" She sobbed as she hit his chest but Liam could not do anything as a tear also escaped his eyes.
"I'm sorry Abby. Let me make it up to you please. You're the one I love. This was a mistake." Liam tried to persuade her.
"I am not a mistake Liam. We both know what we were doing when we started this three months ago." Zoey snickered from the bed.
"Zoey!!!" Liam was cornered.
"Three months? You moron." Abigail pushed him away, then turned to face Zoey, "How could you do this to me? How could you call yourself my sister?" Abigail then faced Liam.
"You know what? We're done. You and I. If this were to be someone else, I could have forgiven you. But Zoey?" She pointed at Zoey on the bed, who was trying to put on her clothes back.
"No way. So please get out of my room and out of my life." She screamed, pushing him.
"And you also, get out of my bed." She screamed hysterically and went to pull Zoey by her hair.
"Stop that Abigail. I'm pregnant."
"What?" Liam and Abigail asked in shock.
Abigail looked at Liam with murderous eyes, "Great. Congratulations to you both."
Liam looked away with eyes full of guilt and regret while Zoey sat back on the bed with a smug face.
"What's all the ruckus going on here?" Nora and Williams came in through the door and looked at Abigail disapprovingly.
They were shocked to see Zoey and Liam in the room and from the scene, they could deduce what had happened.
"What have you done to my daughter, Abigail?" Nora looked at Zoey and went to hug her as Zoey made a face of pity and rested on her mother's shoulder.
"And who is pregnant?" Williams looked at Abigail and was hoping she would be the one.
"I am dad. I'm two months gone." Zoey rested back on her mum's shoulder and sobbed.
*How could you do that to a pregnant lady, Abigail? That was rather harsh of you." Nora chastised Abigail with a wail.
"But Liam was my boyfriend of six years and you all know that. Why are you all making it look like I am the one taking what belongs to her and not the other way round?" Abigail broke down as Liam looked at Abigail at a loss of what to do.
"Zoey, this is reckless of you." Williams pointed out and Nora wanted to shut him up.
"No, Nora. Have you forgotten she is engaged to Lester's son? How do we explain this new occurrence to them?"
"Abigail can marry Elijah. He has never met Zoey, so there will be nothing to explain to them. Besides, I had my reservations about letting my daughter get married to an illegitimate son. She deserves so much better." She looked at Liam and smiled at him.
"What? Get married to who? Who gave you the right to plan my life for me about who to marry and who not to?" Abigail was furious.
"Is it not enough that your daughter just helped in ruining my relationship and my life? And now you're planning on marrying me off to someone I don't know just to save your face?"
