VERDICT OF LOVE

Chapter 5

Chapter 5Chance POV:

"she is driving me crazy" I sigh running my hands through my hair feeling stymied.

After the argument with Shiloh, I called for Damien and Louis before I lose my sanity over this premature occurrence "I am so muddled right now," I sigh heavily once again analyzing my options which seems to make me feel worst " I mean this came as a big surprise to me, I can't imagine having a child and especially not with her" I say in revulsion.

"man this sounds like a satire to me, " Damien says laughing while Louis joins in the mockery "so you are saying you are about to be a father, congratulations, man, " Damien says patting my shoulder lightly.

I shrug his hand off my shoulder angrily. Can't these numbskulls take this seriously, they should be helping not finding humor from the situation " this is not funny, she was sent from her parents' house to live with me. In this house " I say trying to pass the message with all solemnness hoping these wankers would understand now the gravity of the problem.

"So are you accepting the baby?" Louis asks with a raised eyebrow being the first to ask a significant question.

"No. of course not, I told her to either choose the baby or abort it then we keep our relationship going, " I say nonchalantly before sitting on the couch closest to my bed while Louis and Damian made themselves comfortable on my bed.

"and what was her choice? " they both ask curiously and amusement evident in their voice.

"she surprised me by choosing the baby, the Shiloh I know will do everything for me even if that means not listening to her parents," I say with a slight frown on my face.

I just can't get why she would choose an embryo over her life and family it's just so ludicrous. Hours ago I could bet that Shiloh would never make such a decision but what an impact I received when she told me of her decision.

"It takes two to make a baby and you can't expect her to abort an innocent baby," Louis says looking left in the lurch.

"I can't take care of a child right now, and what do you think my Dad would say about this," I say raising my voice a little "I have a reputation to keep and I can't deal with my high-handed father right now"

"so now what have you decided to do about this? "Damien asks staring at me intensely.

I groan tiredly "she will leave with me as for her mum's request but I will make her regret choosing the baby," I say harshly leaving them both dumbfounded.

Not wanting to continue the conversation I left the room going towards my office, I need to make some calls because I can't afford this going out to the press my father's name is on the line here.

Right now I feel like the worst person ever but I got to do something to protect myself, it is not my fault she acted preposterously, I am to be blamed also but it is easier to put it all on her saving me from this shocking mistake.

I love her and love to have a child with her someday but not now and it hurts me to think she prefers it to our relationship.

I will make her regret her choice even though it will kill me seeing her hurt but she made her choice.

I felt my phone vibrate, pulling it out my dad's number flash boldly on the screen making me groan inwardly, scrutinizing picking it up, or ending it to save myself from what to come next.

Ending it means more turmoil than what I have gotten myself into, using my better judgment I swipe the answer button " Chance come home right now" he ordered before ending the call.

This won't end well, "guys we are leaving right now" I yell before seeing them both walk into my office.

Shiloh POV:

My belly growls angrily but since my ego is as big as my dad's bank account and that is a lot if I may say, leaving this room and seeing that asshole right now I rather starve to death.

But since I am feeding for two I got to face the peril, moving towards the door checking for any sign of noise or movement but the place is as quiet as a graveyard.

I took the risk by pulling the door open, walking quietly into the kitchen I check through the fridge for anything I could put together easily before deciding on bread and jam.

I was expecting to find Damien and Louis but it seems they left already.

Spreading the jam all over the bread I welcomed the heavenly taste into my taste buds resisting the urge to moan. It seems to be pregnant comes with enhanced taste buds making your savor the flavor of every dish.

You might be thinking it's just bread and jam no big deal but food means life and I don't play with life as I don't joke with my food.

My phone flash brings me from my thought, checking the phone to see an incoming call making me grimace, finding Sylvia's name flashing on my phone screen

Sipping from a glass of milk I pick the call putting it on speaker "hello" I say with my mouth stuffed with bread.

"Shiloh are you alright? "she asks sounding worried" I called you but it kept going to your voicemail"

"yes I am alright, I didn't notice the phone ringing," I say nonchalantly taking a bite from a slice of bread with jam spread neatly on it.

"Okay, I hope Chance took the news well? " she asks warily. Should I tell her the truth and make are worried or keep it all to myself.

I wrap my hands around my belly feeling confused and scared of the little confidence I have left in me scattering to nothing " Shiloh?" she calls cutting through my thoughts.

"y-yes he loves the idea of having a child and he-he-he was so happy hearing the news, he just left after making sure I was okay " I faltered a lie feeling smothered by my own words.

"take care of yourself okay and please talk with Mum she is so worried about you "

"Okay. bye," I say hanging up.

I wash the dishes before going back into my safe zone for now.

I need to think about my next step and what to do about this new improvement because I have me and my baby to care for all alone.

I hope Chance reconsider everything and accept this child the way I accepted my fate.
