“Oh thank goodness!”Riley grimaced
The night he was found just few people got to know about and Riley happened to be just one, the man that had brought him was never disclosed even after Christian had opened his eyes those few minutes before fluttering close muttering to him thank you.
For Riley there was just one thing at hand and that was getting ready for the welcome party as usual just few people were aware of the party that would have de cremes of the society.
For her she was disturbed about something different at that moment, she was disturbed by the matter of the heart at this period. She was balancing the last bit of hope that her relationship with him was holding on to.
Inhaling deeply, she let the fresh, crisp air invade her she had left at that moment and she was certain that she’d do all she can to live through it –
Being the last bit of feeling she had left for her soon to be ex Rhys, she had thought about what he’d say after she must have given him the news about wanting to go her own way.
While she made the call for the appetizers, she suddenly grew tense and then started to move around restlessly..
How would he take the news , with open arms …she was Confused at that moment not sure of what she was going to do or how to handle the situation, still while thinking through it , it was easy for herself to see the truth.
In a need for distraction and in an attempt to kill time she thought about going for a run, it all started as any usual run with her bending to touch her toes, stretching her arms over her head then twisting side to side as her daily routine, before running down the lane that lead her away from home.
She thought she heard someone call her name and had looked back to see , She glanced towards the house. I hoped that it was Damien but she was disappointed.
How much longer would he be?
It has only been a week since she found out that she was carrying his child and not Rhys, she hoped about keeping the child secret away from Rhys as she knew it would break him but yet this time would not always be his own
If anything was certain If should be aware anything it was the fact that this man would never be her own
Does that mean that her time must be made Into nothing?
She stared deep into the Streets as it beckons on her to go on further- The land was calling to her. Did she dare go ahead ?
She mentioned it to her friend Laura, her good boss and while Laura had insisted that it was her decision she had made it clear and expressly forbidden that she take the Child to another man.
She had decided to take the decision by herself, enduring all heartbreaks and all she was going to let him know that he can’t own her and that was it.
Laura had said that sometimes good people did bad things and one could be caught amidst it, she saw herself that way someone doing good but caught In the moment.
It was like a second chance and she had to fix this before anyone around was aware.
She headed back home at the last turn.

“Good morning, have you heard the news?”A voice spoke behind her and she jumped. Spinning around, she saw him standing a few feet away.
He tried to blink as he stepped closer, The sun was glittering in his eyes.
“Rhys!”Her heart leapt with joy and she rushed over to hug him, only to have him
step away when she was but a foot away.
His movement brought her to still as she was shocked.
“Rhys? What’s the matter?”
“What do you mean, what’s the matter? You know what the problem is.”
She shook her head puzzled at the change in him, she had one reason for him to act that way but still she was finding it harder to believe that he Knew.
.
“You’re carrying his fucking child ain’t you? ”
His words cut like a knife into her heart, she took several steps back , i away she was shocked at the fact that he knew about this , if she had any questions at the back of her mind the question was how?
“You know that wasn’t my choice! You pushed me and I had no choice.”
He gave a bitter laughter.”You are a bitch!”
She attempted to slap him but he held her hands still.”Don’t you ever try to do that ever again!”
He looked away, his mouth tightly compressed.
He dropped her hand’s and she backed away.
“I know women like you all you care about is my money…”He seemed to be waging some type of internal struggle, he appeared drunk as well as his fists clenching and unclenching.
She felt hurt by his words and felt the need to say something, anything that would make the situation calmer than it was at that moment. She had that feeling of uncertainty as well, and as the minute trickled slowly she felt the urge to make him feel the pain as well.
Finally, she sighed deeply, the scowl fading away leaving sorrow in its wake.”I had hoped that you would never find out, I wanted to be loyal to you but you see we belonged to two different worlds and I don’t see myself in yours.”
“But I loved you , I gave you my love and everything else you desire, what then do you need?”
“I know.”She took a step closer and laid her hand on his arm. As though she had touched him with fire he flinched but spoke regardless.
“I wanted to be with you.”
“I’d hoped for the same thing.”She took his hand in hers.
“This union wasn’t meant , but it doesn’t mean that I’ve stopped caring for you.”
He turned and looked at her, his gaze drifting over her features, he fucking love the woman, he had merlely been suspicious of her and had her traced.
Even after that he didn’t have anything to nail with till when he had walked Inside and found the test.
If there was anything wanted at that moment it was sanity and he hoped he found it.
“Good bye.”
It was the only words he said, she shouldn’t feel so much pain but at that moment she felt it all.
She felt pain.
