The unfavored mistress

It's alright dear! everything would be fine

Two months after Oliver and his family left Mexico for America, Lilly begins to fall ill but was pretending so that her mother do not become suspicious of her. She always had perfume and soap bar with her to surpress her vomiting.

Whenever she feels the urge to vomit,she quickly sniffed the perfume or soap bar to stop her from vomiting.

She was gaining weight and her Breast became so tender, firm and bigger. Before Oliver left he gave Lilly his mobile number. They always chatted and spoke for long hours. And sometimes a video call.

Lilly just finished her college education while Oliver was still a University student. One day Lilly called her friend marietta to come over to their house.

"Good morning mom Gabriella" Marietta said with so much smile on her face. She was always happy whenever she visited Lilly because Gabriella had always treated her like a daughter.

Marietta lost her mother at the age of 3 in a ghastly train crash. She grew up in the same neighborhood as Lilly and they grew to become friends.

Gabriella was busy attended to customers outside to buy her edible tacos as she turned she saw Marietta by her side. She didn't see her became she was busy.

" Hello beautiful, how was your night Marietta ? You've come to see Lilly right. She had been inside the house all day. Come on go and bring her downstairs." Gabriella said with a happy voice. She was always happy and knew how well to mind her business.

Alot of people respected her in the area. Marietta went upstairs to meet Lilly, to her surprise she saw Lilly all cuddled up in her bed with her blanket.

" What's up Lilly? You don't look good to me. Does your mom know you are sick? " she asked. " No! No!! Don't tell my mom an sick please I beg you." She said worriedly.

"But your Mom should know you are sick before anyone. Wait a minute! Are you pregnant Lilly?" Marietta shouted. Lilly quickly got off the bed and wrapped Marietta's mouth before anyone could hear her."I don't know yet " Lilly said as her eyes were filled with tears.

" So tell me, when did this happen ? Was it with Oliver?" Marietta asked with an inquisitive expression. Lilly nodded in affirmative.

" Why would you do this Lilly, you should have been more careful. You just finished college." Marietta said with a worried face. "It was just once the day we went for horse riding." Lilly told Marietta.

Go have a shower, dress up and let's go to the pharmacy to buy some pregnancy test strips to confirm if you are actually pregnant. And keep a bold face so that Mom Gabriella don't suspect anything." Marietta was such a loyal friend to Lilly. She had her own share of problems but could go to any length to protect Lilly.

They both sneaked out of the house to buy the strips. As soon as they got back, Marietta told Lilly to pee in a plastic container and dip the strips into it.

Once it shows two coloured lines it means positive and once it shows just a line, it's negative. Lilly went into the toilet and did exactly as she was told.

She peed and dipped the strips one after the other until they completed five and she stood their to see the outcome.

They all turned out to be positive, a dark stormy cloud hoverred under Lilly's eyes as She froze like a statues and bursted into heavy tears. She fell on the toilet floor .

Marietta looked terrified as she heard Lilly's loud cry and rushed to get her out of the toilet so that she doesn't hurt herself. Marietta hugged her tightly and told her to keep calm as they cried together. Marietta sat Lilly on the bed and gave her water to drink.

"What are you going to do about the baby?" " I don't know ! I don't know!" Lilly cried bitterly until she could cry no more. She cried as if her whole world has stopped and everything stopped moving.

She was imagining the pain this would make her mother go through. " You have to call Oliver and tell him before anything else" Marietta insisted. She grabbed her phone and dialled Oliver's number .

It rang severally without response. Few minutes later Oliver called back and said " Hello! Lilly." She kept quiet with buckets of tears flowing from her eyes. " Lilly is that you? Talk to me, why aren't you saying anything to me?" Oliver now became worried on the phone.

" I am pregnant." Lilly said as she hung the phone. Fear, confusion and rage all ran through his body that made his face so red. Oliver almost fell on the ground but luckily for him standing right behind a pillar that was in the hallway. "

This can't be happening, this is not true" he said to himself. "She is joking right Oliver!" He said as he tries to pick up his phone.

The news of the pregnancy came as a waving shock to oliver. He wasn't prepared nor was he ready to be a father.

Besides this news won't go down well with Lady Rosalie his mother. He dialled Lilly's number and she immediately answered his call and said

"Hello! Oliver," " Are you serious about the pregnancy?" "Yes" she replied wiping her tears. " But how is that? It was just once. That's not possible right. We barely lasted Ten minutes." He said in confusion.

" I said I am pregnant and this is all you got to tell me. I thought you said you loved me. You said I was all you wanted. And that we would forever be together."

" Am afraid not like this Lilly, how am I sure I am responsible? I can't take this,I am sorry." He hung up on her. "Oliver! Oliver!! Oliver!!! She shouted on the phone.

She turned to Marietta and bursted into tears again as she said" He hung up the phone on me Marietta. Tell me I am not dreaming please tell me! I trusted him with my love and he chose to abandon me like this."

She was sobbing with mucus coming out of her nose and mouth. Marietta kept patting her on her back to calm down. " Your Mom needs to hear this now, she definitely won't be happy but cannot throw you out of her life.

Take this as part of growing up. Time heals Lilly. You sure would be fine." Marietta went downstairs and called on Gabriella to come upstairs to her daughter's room. She asked Marietta if everything was alright. Marietta nodded and said" Not totally".

Gabriella rushed upstairs with Marietta and met her daughter in a bad state of emotion. Lilly was already getting consumed by her emotional trauma she is going through.

Gabriella quickly hugged her daughter and was stroking her hair saying" I love you no matter what happens. You are still my baby girl. I am not going to allow any harm to come your way." She said as tears was flowing down her eyes. "

I am sorry mother,I brought shame to you, I shamed your upbringing and I disappointed you." Lilly said as she cries on profusely. " shhhh!" Her mother said.

"I am here now everything would be alright dear. Marietta your sister and friend is also here with you. Just give yourself time to heal." Gabriella added.

" I will never heal from this mother." Lilly said. As Marietta and Lilly's mother were consoling her, Lilly's phone rang . "Who could it be?" Marietta wondered.
