1237 Words
-SECRET IS OUT- " Honestly child, I don't know how to fix this," It was even harder for her dad to admit this to himself. Gigi could not take it anymore. He has literally ruined her life. What is she going to do now? " I hate you dad. I hate you so much. " Gigi said before grabbing her handbag and walking out. Tears were stinging in her eyes as she got into her car. She wished that this was a terrible dream that she could wake up from. Gigi's dad could not believe that this happened. Her words cut deeper than a knife. He wanted to fix this and make Gigi love him back but he didn't know how to. He was at a loss. Gigi drove home safely and once she locked herself in her room, she got rid of the stuffings and cried. This is the worst nightmare. Her life was perfect. How could that b***h do this to her? She swore that she was going to ruin her life if she ever met her. She felt so bitter, why was she barren? What mistake did she make in her previous life to deserve this kind of treatment? She continued crying. She felt so much anger. Thank goodness Richard was at work the entire day. If not, he would have witnessed her at her most vulnerable moment. ** Gigi's dad barely slept. He kept thinking about what he is going to do to ensure that Gigi is alright. After a lot of stress and constant thinking, there was light at the end of the tunnel. He came up with something perfect. The next morning,he took his phone and called Gigi and asked her to go over. Gigi was still so angry at him but she decided to go. She wanted to know if he had found a way to fix her problems. He tried to hug her but Gigi was not there for that. She wanted to listen and respond to good news, nothing except that. " I know you want to listen to good news and that is exactly why I have called you here," He said, reading her mind. " Tell me already dad," Gigi was impatient. She was willing to receive the beam of hope that her father wanted to share. " I am going to look for a newborn. When the time comes, we will pretend that you are giving birth here at home but in a real sense we would have gotten the baby for you to go back home with," He said and Gigi didn't smile immediately. She had questions running through her mind. " I really don't think that keeping up with the lies is a good idea. I have a bad feeling about this," She said. " You have to trust me. I have never failed you and I am not about to. What I am telling you to do is the right way. " He said and Gigi was at a loss. She knew and felt that this was the right time to be frank with Richard about her infertility but still she could not do it. She didn't want to risk losing the life that she is living right now. " Okay dad," Gigi agreed. At least there is hope. " Cheer up my dear, I want to see your smile," He suggested and she ended up smiling widely. At least her problems had been solved. " I love you dad," Gigi said it out loud and her father was happy. Making Gigi happy was his top priority and he was happy that he managed to do damage control to the situation. Anyway, as for Anabelle, if they ever find her by the secret detectives that he had hired then she will see hell on earth. He was going to make her life a living hell. He is going to face his wrath. Gigi went home having a new ray of hope. She was happy. She wanted to celebrate this new win that would surely be a game changer. She will not lose anything. In fact, this will cement their relationship. They will surely be together for a lifetime. ** Richard had been keen with her pregnant wife to ensure that she was okay. Last night however he realised that she was restless. She was not her normal self. It felt like something was bothering her. Richard was not about to sit and see her wife go through stuff alone. He decided to surprise her with a trip to Bali. Once they are able to relax she will be open and this will make him find out what has been bothering her and then they will fix it. She was carrying his heir, he didn't ever want to see her sad. He decided to get out of the office early. He passed by the flower shop and bought her a big bouquet of flowers. He also decided to buy her yacht. He is a millionaire, so why not. Besides, she is the love of his life and since she loves the ocean, a yacht will be a perfect gift for her. He had never gone home in the middle of the day. He was excited to do this because he felt that this in itself was a pleasant surprise. ** Gigi was such a party queen. She loved drinking expensive wines to mark a celebration and today was no exception. She removed the stuffings and threw it aside. She connected music to the home theatre before she started dancing and drinking. This is a good day and she was so excited about it. She knew that by the time Richard comes home in the evening, the wine will be out of her system and she will put the stuffing on and continue pretending to be pregnant. She is due in two months and this means that she is a good actress. Richard had never suspected something fishy going on. She was lost in dancing and twerking that she did not realise Richard was home until he turned down the volume of the stereo. Richard had arrived home and he was received by a blasting music. This was unlike Gigi because he loved calmness. He is almost due and he preferred sitting in silence. This did not make any sense. He walked in and turned down the music. He was about to mention the trip to Bali and the yacht when he noticed that Gigi was not pregnant. Lying on the chair nearby was the strap with a stuffing resembling a watermelon . This is what actresses wear in movies. It did not take Richard too much time to realise that it has all been a game. Gigi was not pregnant to begin with. She had been lying to him. When the music was turned down, Gigi turned and saw Richard dropping the bouquet of flowers that was on his hand. The secret was out. What is she going to do ? She was lost for words. She started trembling and sweating all over. She was not expecting him . Why was he here in the first place ? " What are you doing here?" She asked as she went to get the pregnancy stuffing even though she knew that it was too late for that. She did not know what else to do.
