Mina stared blankly at the ceiling, she needed to process everything Aaron said those couple of hours. She instinctively placed her hand on her belly. She was pregnant. She felt a bitter taste in her mouth. Was this what they were hiding from her? She wished she didn't pry her way to know the truth. Tears clouded her eyes, she didn't sign up for this.
She could feel Aaron's eyes on her, without anyone informing her she knew his gaze held conflicting emotions, emotions that she didn't even understand. Aaron Vertercio never showed emotions, not even to her. This has been a devastating time for both of them. She struggled to sit straight, and she met Aaron's gaze before saying;
" I don't want it."
She dropped the bombshell.
The colour on his face drained, and he swore he felt cold all over. The last time he felt that was when Mina drank the poison.
" What do you mean, you don't want it? That's ours, princess, we created that." Aaron said in a shaky voice.
She doesn't want it? They made a life and she didn't want it. He brushed his hand across his face.
" I don't want it Aaron, my life is already complicated and now this? I freaking didn't sign up for this I was just a sex slave. How the fuck did I become the mother of your kids?" Mina bellowed.
" Language princess!"
" Fuck language Aaron. I'm telling you this, I don't want this and I'm never going to want it."
The air in the room became heavy as they stared at each other, one gaze held defiant while the other was dangerous.
Aaron slammed the door harshly as he got out. Mina sighed deeply. She caresses her belly while staring at the ceiling, she doesn't want it. She doesn't care if they called her cold or heartless but she wasn't prepared for a baby.
Memories of what happened in the past month resurface in her mind, how Aaron treated her and how they do not use protection.
****************************************
Aaron punched the wall nearby to relieve his anger and a sardonic chuckle escaped his mouth.
He can't believe he thought they could be a wonderful family together. The Lord knows how he reacted when he found out she was expecting and she was a month pregnant. Now she says she doesn't want the baby. Something they created. He understands it wasn't of love but heavens know how much he's fallen for her. He almost took down the hospital when they didn't give his princess the best treatment.
Aaron brushed his hand on his already tousled hair. He screamed his lungs out when he thought of what happened earlier. People stopped to give him a disdainful look, but he didn't give a damn.
The only person who could convince Mina was his cousin, he brought out his phone from his pocket to make a quick call to her.
" I need you here now," he ordered.
Naarah snarled at the other side;
" What? I'm busy."
" Princess is pregnant." Aaron didn't waste time to inform his cousin.
" What? Why am I getting to know this now?"
" I can't talk right now, just be here, she needs you." Aaron hung up after talking.
He would do anything for Mina to keep the baby, even if he had to swallow his pride or shoot himself.
