Kelsea's POV ~
"I'll be back, baby girl. Just sit back and relax", he said and walked away with Elijah who seemed a bit tense. Sit back and relax? Easy for him to say… I sighed, taking a deep breath to calm myself down. Wow, now he knows that I am pregnant. What's next? He is gonna ask me about it and what am I going to tell him… Anxiety filled me up at the mere thought of it. Am I gonna end up on the streets? I let out a deep sigh, throwing myself on the bed to relax. You need to relax, Kelsea. I closed my eyes trying to control my anxiety. Sh**! And suddenly a thought struck my mind. I have been here all night? God, Skyla must be worried. I should call her right now. Quickly, I got up from the bed and started looking for my phone. Great, my phone is dead. Wait a minute, why am I even waiting here? Leaving before Shane returns is probably the best idea now. I am seriously in no situation to face his questions, definitely not after seeing him shoot a damn person in front of my eyes… I still can't believe he just shot him just like that…
I shook my head and got off the bed. I can't think about it anymore. I should get going and I really need to speak with Skyla now. I grabbed my phone from the bed and slowly walked out of the room carefully checking the place. Please God, help me to get out of this place in one piece. Walking through the corridor and passing through the huge living room I managed to get out of the house without getting caught by any of his men. Ooofff, I think I have a bit of luck today. Without wasting a damn second, I took a cab and reached our apartment.
"Skyla!!", I rushed inside and pulled her for a tight hug. "KELSEA!!!!! THANK GOD YOU ARE SAFE!!! I WAS ABOUT TO FILE A MISSING CASE OF YOU", she said, crushing me in her super strong arms. "Ah… sorry I made you worry...", I pulled her back and apologized, holding my ears with my fingers. "Just tell me where the hell you have been all night", she asked in her serious tone. I made her sit on the couch as I squatted near her. "Uh, I was at Shane's and...", I started and I found myself telling everything, every single thing that happened. After 10-15 minutes of explaining everything I took a deep breath as I rested my head on the couch. "So, let me get this straight. He shot someone who took advantage of you and now he knows that you're pregnant", she said in a quite weird tone and it didn't sound any good to me. "Typically", letting out a deep sigh, I got up from the couch to freshen up as I was stingy as rotten fish. "I'll freshen up and be back in a few", I informed her and headed to my room.
I walked out of the bathroom, and the first thing I did was inform Stella and took a leave today. I really need a break or to be exact I didn't have the guts to face him today… Alright, I am starving as hell. I made a quick bun of my hair and walked downstairs.
Shane's POV ~
"I don't know how you get it sorted out, but I want this mess to be cleared as soon as possible, got it, Mr. Shane?", my dad yelled crazy after seeing that hecking news on the social media and paper front covers. These media people have no brain and all they do is play with people's lives with one single line of news. I sighed with a nod as I and Elijah walked out of his room. "Elijah, could you just fix meeting with all these stupid people. I think they need to be reminded who they just messed with", I ordered and he nodded with a yawning reaction. "These paparazzi never change, do they?", he rolled his eyes and walked from there. Alright, I think I have got a few minutes with baby girl now. I walked inside my room and it was hollow and empty. "Kelsea?", I called her out and there was no response. I quickly checked out the bathroom and it was empty too. Did she just sneak out from my house? I really think that my dad was right on that part, 'This woman is trouble, son!'. I took my phone from the side table and dialed Stella. "Hey Stella, is Kelsea working today?", I asked and I myself know it is a most stupid question to ask now, but still I just want to make sure that part. "Uh, sir. No, she is on leave today", I hummed. "Sir, abo...", she was about to ask something and I am in no mood to listen about this f****** news again. So, I just cut the call and threw my phone on the bed. Just great! Let me get ready to meet those stupid paparazzi and get this sorted already. Probably, before the baby girl gets to know about this. I think it is already too much for her to handle at the moment. Let's just hope she doesn't get to know about this too.
Kelsea's POV~
"Kelsea, stop freaking out, he is not gonna fire you. We can handle it no matter what", Skyla said, pouring me a glass of fresh juice and I rolled my eyes at her. "Easy for you to say but it's f****** hard in my situation", she sighed and we both tossed ourselves on the couch, and switched on the TV. "You need to send your stress out, let's watch one of the comedy shows", tapping on the remote button, she shifted channels as I gulped the juice. She finally stopped at the hotline celebrity news 12 and damn I was on the hot news. "KELSEA, ARE WE BOTH SAYING THE SAME THING?", she squealed, pointing at the TV and I just completely froze in shock. F***! "WHY THE HELL ARE WE ON THE TV?", I cried out anxiously as I didn't know what I was just witnessing with my poor eyes. "F*** off the photos and concentrate on the news, i***t!", Her fingers pointed at the news and those lines of news were more than enough to stop my heartbeat for an instant. "Mr. Shane Bookers mystery girlfriend? or a new twinkie…? Stay tuned for more", my heart stops pumping blood, looking at these lines on the TV. What the actual f***?
