"Nobody." Kale didn't bother to thank him and left immediately to get back to Sabina. He drove like he was chasing his seeds from reaching her egg cells. The thought of Sabina carrying his baby angered him, he could not let her have more people to use against him or his family.
He could almost picture the future blackmail in his mind.
He left his car immediately and went upstairs to Sabina's room to get her to drink a pill. He twisted the knob and his eyebrows furrowed at the realization that hit him.
She locked the door again!
He knocked when he realized the key he used to open her door was left inside, now he doesn't have anything to open the damn door.
Sabina was awakened by the loud banging outside her door. She quickly checked who it was and was relieved when a cold yet familiar face greeted her.
"Drink a pill." He ordered her as soon as she opened the door. He handed the bottle of pills and pushed the door open. He pulled her to the bathroom and stood by the sink.
"I want to see you drink it."
She immediately checked the details written on the bottle and nodded. She understands what the prescription was for.
'Did he accidentally c*m inside me an hour ago?'
'Kale uses the calendar method as a guide to avoid getting me pregnant, he explained to me that he can't release inside me when I'm not on my safe days.' The thought of pregnancy made her heart race. 'I didn't want to get pregnant either!' Sabina panicked while she thought.
"It says here I should drink two pills when an hour has passed after the last time." She told him while she read the rest of the instructions.
"Then drink two." He demanded.
She obeyed without complaining, the two pills tasted bitter but she decided to drink more water to erase the aftertaste. Kale finally looked at her with satisfaction and then he smirked. "Keep the bottle, we might need it again next time."
"I'm thinking maybe I should start drinking birth control pills. I don't want to get pregnant, Kale." She said, her voice trembled in worry and so did her lips. Kale saw this and his heart twitched watching her face grow pale while her hands trembled while she combed her hair with her fingers.
A part of him wanted to comfort her but he didn't dare move a single muscle because that would definitely stab his pride!
"Just go get some rest." He said, taking a step away from her. He continued his retreat and did not dare look back, he doesn't want to care about her. He can't let himself be tricked like his grandfather. He scolded himself for letting himself be soft for a second.
'That can't happen again! Her pity act won't work on me!'
Kale angrily slammed his body on his bed and pushed himself to ignore the woman's face. He convinced himself that she was just faking it again to make him care, just like when she fakes it every time she reminds him that she's his sister but opens her legs willingly after a little teasing.
What a scheming woman!
Sabina sat on the floor of her bathroom and thought of the worst scenarios that might happen if Kale got her pregnant. The more she thought of it, the more her stomach stirred.
'Kale's mother hates me! Kale's Aunt always has something negative to say about me and his father ignores me all the time and pretends like I don't exist. If I get pregnant, they will definitely hate me more and they'd probably convince Grandpa to reject me as part of the family and kick me out of the house!
Where would I go? Who would I run to? What will I be in the future?
I can't let that happen! I can't imagine what kind of life I would live without a single family by my side. I can't support myself yet!' Her thoughts kept screaming in her head and that gave her a bad stomach.
She vomited and clutched her stomach tightly while she hugged herself.
'I have to do something. I can't rely on Grandpa's help all the time. I have to make my own money and earn my own place.Maybe I'll finally earn his respect and...a little affection from him.' Sabina finally thought of a solution.
"Tomorrow I will talk to Grandpa." She stood up and told her own reflection.
She's been living with Kale's family since she was adopted as a member of the family and her nineteenth birthday was supposed to be their first anniversary as lovers. Sabina never discussed nor confronted Kale regarding their real relationship status since she knew how complicated their situation is. Kaleo is Grandpa's only grandson and Aunt Lucille was a childless middle aged woman. Kale's parents had serious conception issues so they had a hard time conceiving another child. Señior Antonio always wanted to have plenty of grandchildren but he was disappointed that his son and daughter did not grant his wishes. When he found Sabina, he was delighted to make her part of the family, hoping one day she will grant him little angels of his own dream.
The whole night Sabina did not bother to sleep anymore, her mind was racing and her worries never let her rest. She packed her clothes and cleaned her room before finally preparing to get ready for her class. She rushed to get in the dining room before anyone else to help set up the table.
"Morning, Sabby." Miss Cornelia greeted her, she was the family's nanny. She raised both Kale and his father. She was too old to work but because she had no family, the Caddel family considered her like a member of the family.
"Morning, Miss Lia." She replied. Taking away the heavy plates from her old and freckled hands. Sabina took care of the plates and the table settings while the other servants served their breakfast on the table. Soon, one by one, the family members arrived and gathered around the table.
"Papi," Kale's mother, Trisha, called the old man's attention. Señior Antonio looked up and waited for her to continue. Seeing this, Trisha continued by saying, "Kaleo's girlfriend came back from abroad. She's having a welcome party at her place and she invited us to come." She clapped her hands cheerfully showing how excited she was for that event.
Kale's mother was known as the wealthiest lady of the Caddel family, her collection of sapphires and diamonds that she always had around her neck in every social event would not go unnoticed by the press. Her face and jewelry collection always reach the morning news and magazines. She can't wait to show off again in this event.
Sabina secretly hid her discomfort hearing about Kale's relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Althea.
When she looked up and tried to confront him with a simple glance, she received the same coldness she had always seen. He didn't look apologetic or guilty, it was like he didn't care about her feelings.
Señior Antonio shook his head as an answer to that and looked away to find his favorite girl at the table, Sabina.
"Why aren't you eating enough, Sabby? Are you alright? You look sick, my angel." The frail old man showed more affection to the silent young woman beside him than his own daughter-in-law, because of this affectionate scene, Trisha disliked Sabina more.
It startled Sabina, she didn't realize that her Grandpa was watching her. Sabina did not notice the glares and the bitter faces around her since she was busy with her own worries.
"Grandpa, I was thinking of something I want to talk to you about."
