#Be’s P. O. V


    I look up at Christian as pale as a ghost. I’m pretty sure I’m looking like a prey caught between a headline trap.


    “You see…”I start thinking of a lie but I’m sure he probably won’t believe me. ”Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    “Please don’t tell me you’re pregnant”


    Christian groans face-palming himself.


    “It came out positive”I mumble under my breath but he sure did hear me.


    “Leave it to you toplicate the situation”Christian says in slight amusement.


    “So have you told Nicoli?” He questions in pure curiosity.


    “Of course not, he’s getting married to Anastasia”I spit her name out in pure hatred.


    “So if everyone asks who the father is?”Christian raises his brow.


    “Um about that… I need a favour” I nervously smile.


    “Mind being my baby’s father”That is a stupid question even I know it but I really don’t have a choice.


    “Your joking right”He questions with a straight face.


    “No” I squick out and I watch as his eyes practically grow two times bigger.


    “No, no, no, no”He shakes his head while running his hand in his hair a few times.


    “Christian please” I beg with a pleading look.


    “I wouldn’t ask you for this if I wasn’t desperate”I tell him with a puppy dog face.


    “You really know how to put a guy in a tight spot”Christian breaths out.


    “At least think about it”I plead. Christian nods his head


    “I’ll think about it”He breaths out standing up.


    “You should get ready we’re going to a dinner party in two hours”He says before shutting the door behind him.


    I grab the pregnancy box and throw it back in the trash can. I can’t believe how crazy this all seems. Like some stupid Hollywood film!.


    I walk to the bathroom and take a nice hot shower feeling all my sore limbs rx under the water, I take my time enjoying the hot water before finally finishing my shower.


    I put on a floor length peach dress that looks beautiful on me. I fix my hair in waves and put on the ne Nicoli gave me.


    Knock!


    Knock!


    Someone knocks on my door. I grab my bag and walk to the door opening it. Christian stands looking handsome in a ck suit his hair jelled back to perfection.


    “You look handsome”I smile up at him.


    “Thank you. You Don’t look that bad yourself” He winks and I burst outughing.


    “I’m happy to see you smile again” Christian says and I smile back at him. If it weren’t for the fact that I’m madly in love with Nicoli even now I’d really be with Christian. His such a sweet and kind guy as well as a good gentleman.


    “Shall we”He extends his hand out to me and I happily take it. “I’m happy you agreed to going to this party with me” Christian smiles as he starts the car.


    “Well I kinda really need you to agree to do that favour for me” I say really desperate to know if he’ll do it.


    “If that is your way of asking if I’ll do it then yes Be I’ll be your baby’s fake father” a giant smile instantly makes it’s to my face.


    “Thank you”I smile as the cares to a stop. I step out and walk to the front of the building with Christian. The ce is storming with security meaning a lot of important people must be here.


    We pass by the security and enter the giant room. The blissful chatter of people and soft music reaches my ears as we walk into the room. A few people stop talking and stare at us, well more like at me while whispering to each other.


    “Dont mind them”Christian whispers in my ear. I nod my head as we walk to the middle of the room.


    “Excuse me”Someone calls. The music goes silent as we all direct our attention to the man.


    “Today we are all about celebrating the new elience I have just made with the American Mafia Nicoli King”My heart starts beating uncontrobly at the sound of his name. For two weeks I’ve been avoiding him and now I’m stuck in a room where he is.


    “You did not tell me”I mutter to Christian trying not to p him silly.


    “I knew you wouldn’te if I did”He whispers back.


    “So let’s all make a toaste to my new partner Nicoli King” Everyone goes to a nearby waiter and takes a ss of champaign except for me.


    “To new beginnings”I look around the crowd as people take small sips from their sses.


    “Why aren’t you drinking? “A voice I unfortunately recognise questions.


    I turn around and re at my worst enemy. Anastasia is wearing a blood red floor length dress that shows off her breasts which are barely there.


    “Too young to drink?”she mocks taking a sip of champagne. My eyes trail up to Nicoli as he looks down on me I shudder from his piercing gaze.


    “I don’t want to hurt my baby” I smile cing my hand over my t stomach. Nicoli’s whole body tenses the moment I mention a baby and his eyes trail down to the


    hand on my stomach.


    “And who is the father?” Anastasia questions her grip on the wine ss noticeably tightening.


    “I am”Christian saysing to stand behind me. “Oh!”Anastasia says shock clear in her voice as well as doubt.


    “Well since we’re sharing good news Be and Christian I want to invite you to my wedding in two months” Anastasia says her eyes locked on mine.


    No! My conscience yells.


    “We would love toe” I didn’t even hear the words as they left my lips.
