“don’t tell me I’m pregnant I won’t believe it until I take a pregnancy test.” she said emptying a sachet of unused pregnancy test.
She took one and gave one to me.
“I’m not pregnant.” I hissed at her.
“I don’t want to go through this alone please just take it with me so I can take it.” I sighed swiping the test from her hand, I went first and peed on mine, Paisley did too as we both waited for ours.
“I’m not pregnant.” Paisley grinned and sighed, I picked mine up looking at it carefully it was positive. My eyes widened in shock.
“WTF… ” I muttered under my breath, Paisley moved over to me. “you’re pregnant ?” she squealed destroying my hearing.
“I can’t be pregnant something is wrong with this.” I took another test but it says the same thing.
I walked in the room Paisley looked back at me.
“Shit…” that was the only thing I muttered in my shocked state, then it came to me I accidentally dropped taking my pills and I missed my period but just didn’t notice because I was busy through out.
“I’m pregnant.” I panicked digging my fingers through my hair.
“how did that happen? ” Paisley asked
“I.. I don’t know I can’t even predict how this happened.” I said because the last two times we used condoms.
“You have to call Hunter and tell him now.” She suggested handing me my phone.
“Hell no, I can’t keep this child.” I muttered.
“And why’s that? ” she asked.
“I.. I. ” I wanted to explain to her about the Dominiquez code but I couldn’t.
“I don’t think Hunter would want me to keep the child.” I suggested poorly.
“You can’t just get rid of an unborn innocence because you think the father won’t let you keep it Amirah.” she flare up.
“It’s not your pregnancy it’s mine and you don’t know what will happen if I keep it, I can’t do that Paisley.” I yelled.
“Look I know it’s scary but you can’t just think of abortion Amirah.” she said.
“Like you wouldn’t do the same if you found out you’re pregnant.” I yelled at her.
“Amirah….”
“No, I’m not telling Hunter anything he must not know Paisley promise me you won’t tell anyone, I can’t get an abortion now so I’ll get it at the end of the week when I’m done with the ceremony.” I said thinking of all the activities I have to do ahead.
“You’re pregnant and you’re thinking of doing menial activities that could harm the child.” Paisley objected, I shook my head sideways.
“My decision is final.” I stated calmly.
“If you abort that baby Amirah just stop talking to me.” she said picking up her phone and leaving the room.
The week after that was hell packed, I stopped picking Hunter’s calls because I’m afraid Paisley might have told him either way, that girl is not to be trusted.
I was at a gala, one of the last event to attend Thiago was watching me from afar in case anyone suspicious tried to get close to me.
Kaleb and Paisley walked up to me to talk with me.
“You look beautiful Amirah.” Kaleb complimented and Paisley slapped him weakly.
“What I was just complimenting her geez.” Kaleb said while Paisley scowled at me.
“Change your mind ? please tell me you change your mind I need someone to hang out with.” she pouted leaving Kaleb in bewildered.
“Nope.” I voiced and she just walked away.
“Hunter is coming.” he said and I try not to choke on my larynx.
“He’s what? Why? When? ” I asked
“I don’t know he just told me to book him a plane are you guys arguing ?” he asked me I wasn’t focused on him, my eyes were focused on Alec, my heart sank down I scanned the room again and saw Ally she wasn’t dressed in formal and some men in black.
“We are being ambushed.” I whispered giving Kaleb hints of the strange figure stomping in the room.
“Amirah are you seeing this? ” Thiago walks up to me.
“Ally is here.” I whispered signalling Ally.
“So is Alec.” Kaleb said as we trio stayed together.
“We need to get this people out of here.” Thiago voiced. “I need to get to Paisley before they think of getting to her first.” Kaleb unloosened his neck tie.
“Maybe they were invited and came to make peace? ” I guessed until Thiago gasped.
“Caine is here.” the word Caine made my heart dropped then I remembered the threat of a few days ago.
“Something is going to happen, if Caine is here everyone is going to die.” Thiago said and I was scared.
“Amirah..” Amelia and Tiffany called waving at me.
“We need to get everyone out of here.” Thiago mentioned again.
“Caine hasn’t propose his threat yet.” I chimed interuptting Thiago’s statement.
“Well a few weeks ago probably three weeks ago Alec said if I didn’t give myself up and the heir before his father’s arrival, his father will take action.” I voiced.
“And we are just knowing now? Amirah 500 people could die because of your clumsy mistake.” Thaigo muttered.
“Well, I better find Paisley I’ll alert Campus to tell Hunter what’s happening, you get Amirah to safety first that’s your main priority.” Kaleb stated.
“I’m not going to let 500+ people be killed because of me.” I said.
“Maybe we can sneak you out we just need a female to volunteer a switch with your dress and a scarf.” I looked back at Amelia.
“I know a girl who we can get to help us but if we survive this you have to go on a date with her Thiago.” me and Kaleb both looked at Thiago.
“Yeah if we survive, let’s just get this over with.” Thiago whined, I met up with Amelia asking her for a switch and of course she said no and later I told her Thiago agreed to go on a date with her.
she went to the restroom with me as we both changed and I wore the scarf Tiffany lended to me and covered my face.
“Thanks.” I muttered to Amelia who was checking herself out since she was wearing my dress, I wore her yellow greek dress, I looked like one of those greek goddess.
“Hmmmm your dress isn’t that bad.” she chimed and I rolled my eyes.
“Amelia, thank you for always being there for me for getting me to do crazy things and for watching over Tiffany when I was gone it must have been hard.” I said she pulled out her deadpan expression to show she didn’t care but actually she didn’t want to cry when she pulled off that look.
“I never cared for you..”
“You did, you didn’t want me your little innocent prude to get hurt so you thought the only way to toughen me up was to spoil me, I’m just happy that I didn’t loose you and Tiffany, I’m going somewhere and I’m not sure if I’m going to come back but if I don’t please take care of Tiffany.” her expression soften and she pulls me into a hug.
“Wherever you are going even though you don’t come back to London don’t die okay? ” she muttered patting my head.
“Amirah let’s go.” Thiago walked in with a gun ignoring that Amelia is with us, he pulls another gun from his pockets.
He hands it over to me.
“in case we get separated, you need to protect yourself.” I nodded putting it in my purse.
“What’s happening? ” Amelia asked.
“My uncle Colt and his friends paid a visit.” Amelia wore a shocked look.
“Colt is alive!!!” she trembles
“They are after me I need to leave so they won’t kill anyone here.” I said as she nodded.
“Amirah.. ” I stopped at the door looking back at her.
“Shoot him at the balls for the both of us.” She said and I smirked.
“With pleasure.” I muttered back leaving the restroom.
