1475 Words
MICHELLE’s POV.
As soon as the doctor’s words filter into my ears as I sit in front of him , my heart skips a beat. This is not the kind of news I am expecting, how can my baby be in danger now when i just conceived. My heart is shattered into a thousand pieces and I can feel the tears falling from my eyes.
“You need to put yourself together, Luna” the doctor says again and I sniff back a tear. I need to be strong, this is not the time for me to cry. Crying won’t solve what I am already going through.
“Tell me” I finally find my voice, “what are the chances?”
“Well” he leans forward towards me, “the tumor can be managed with medication but i am not sure for how long ma’am”
“I will keep the baby” I announce and a small frown appears on his face.
“What do you mean? Didn’t you hear me, Luna ? A tumor is..
I immediately interrupt him, “I have been craving a child for the past three years, doctor and I can not throw this one away because of a tumor. Since it can be managed by medecine, I will go with that. My baby should be given a chance to live right?” I force a smile on my face and my mind drifts off to Nicholas for a moment. He is supposed to be here with me, he is supposed to be giving me the emotional support that I need but instead he chooses to stay with her and now.
I clean the tears falling down my eyes and force my smile to widen.
“I do not know for how long we have to rely on the medication, Mrs Michelle”
“I am willing to take the risk” I tell him, “I am willing to do anything and everything to protect this baby . Please help me” at this moment, I don’t care if I am the almighty Luna of our pack. I just want my baby to be fine and that’s all”
“Okay then” he finally agrees, “if you are willing to take the risk, I am willing to help you all the way.
“But one thing” it suddenly occurs to me, “you must not mention anything about my pregnancy or the tumor to Nicholas”
“Why, Luna?” The frown on his forehead intensifies, “I think your husband ought to know”
“I am ordering you as your Luna, doctor. You can not breathe a word of this to him, okay?”
He lets out a heavy sigh, “I will do as you say, ma’am”
“Hmmm”
Bracing myself, I push my body out of the chair before sniffing back another set of new tears that forms In my eyes.
A lot is going on in my head but I have no one to share it with. Just one day and my sister has ruined everything for me.
“I will take my leave now and I will keep in touch”
Saying that, I make my way out of the office and slump on the chair just outside the office.
It feels like my whole world has come to a standstill and I am about to lose everything I have worked for for the past three years. How can Nicholas do this to me? How can he make a mockery of me in such a way?
“Until when will you keep beating yourself up?” My wolf asks inside of me but I completely ignore it and bury my head in between my palms. I am already feeling nauseous and dizzy, I just don’t know what to do.
“You should go and talk to Nicholas” my wolf tells me again, “he needs to know what is at stake”
I sniff back a tear, maybe it was right. I need to talk to him, I need to speak to him.
With this at the back of my mind, I spring up from the chair and make my way outside where my car is parked.
“To Nicholas’s office” I tell my chauffeur and he nods before zooming off.
*****
“Nicholas..” my voice trails off when I push the door open and I find the two of them in the most compromising position ever. Natalia is sitting on his glass table while Nicholas’s hands are wrapped around her waist and they are both kissing. I almost lose my footing seeing them like this but I hold onto the door frame and steady myself.
The two of them gently pull away from each other and I can see how disappointed he looks when his gaze rests upon me.
“Can you not knock?” Natalia inquires while rolling her eyes at me.
“Is this what you are doing?” I can’t help but ask, “I have not even signed the divorce papers and you are already doing this in the office?”
Nicholas gently holds onto her hand and smiles at her,
“This is the cue for you to sign the papers dumbass' ' he growls, “and I will not be asking you anymore. I have already asked the servants to prepare your luggage and I have sent a hundred million dollars to your account. You can stay in the house in Beverly Hills until you want to move out. I think I have done more than enough for the relationship we have shared for three years. Michelle” his eyes are full of hatred towards me and tears well up in my eyes. How did everything go wrong?
“I have a baby growing inside of me” I also want to yell, “our baby is on the verge of dying” I want to tell him but seeing how lovey dovey he is with Natalia, I can not help but feel disgusted. It is so easy for him to let go of everything we have shared for the past three years. Guess he never loved me.
“I think you should sign the papers now, Michelle” Natalia tells me, “haven’t you been humiliated enough? What more do you want?”
Sniffing back a tear, I throw my bag open and bring out the papers.
Pressing them on the table, I scribble my signature on it and leave it on the table.
“I have always looked up to you Nicholas” I start to talk, “but I can see that you were not worth it even from the beginning. I did everything to make this relationship work but I guess..
“You don’t need to talk much” Nat continues, “no one actually needs your lectures”
I smile through tears, “I can not say I wish you happiness because I hope your life is full of problems and pains for what the two of you have done to me”
Not bothering to wait for any of their responses, i turn around and walk out of the office. The tears are falling in torrent but it is the end now. I have lost everything I have worked so hard for.
Just as I get to the door, her voice reaches my ear again.
“If you at that angry, you shouldn’t take what Nicholas is offering you” her voice is lace with mockery and sarcasm,
“I mean he gave you more than enough for three years”
“I do not need anything from him” i turn to look at him for a moment, his eyes glued to the lady in front of him, which breaks my heart the most.
Sniffing back pain and tear, I slam the door close behind me. The pain is too much for me to bear, in feels like I am about to lose my life. The pain in my chest was too much and I can not breathe.
“Luna '' my driver calls as I walk to the car, “are you okay! Don’t you feel fine?”
“Adrian” I gently call out his name, “can you book a hotel for me?”
His face scrunches up, he is definitely confused.
“But..
“Do as I have said Adrian” I tell him, “I really need all the rest I can get now”
“Of course Luna”
He helps me into the car and in no time he zooms out of the premises.
As I press my head against the headrest and close my eyes, the tears continue to fall.
