The day Adrianna left her home, she never returned and looked for a place to live and a job to fill her stomach during tough courses of life. Now that her only chance of finding the man who was supposedly the father of her twins, was gone, Adrianna was afraid of the pregnancy and news to the family. Laura's mistake was forgiven and she got married to Jason as a substitute. But what about her?
If she had told her family about the pregnancy, they would have kicked her out of the house, so she left without uttering any word. It was better for her own mental health as well.
It's been two months since then and Adrianna 's life was surrounded by running errands and looking for a job to feed herself and the children growing in her womb. She spend night in shelters as a homeless when nothing worked and she got no money for abortion either. She was afraid that she could handle two babies without a father?
After a while, a kind man offered her a job which only gave her a roof over her head and food to fill herself but it would be never enough to live a good life, yet talk alone about the children in her womb.
She saved quarters to get an abortion done before it could be too late.
Inside the city hospital, Adrianna was in the gynecologist clinic and after a heated discussion with the doctor, the doctor finally gave her approval for the abortion, since abortion is not very common procedure to perform but it was considered a sin too.
Adrianna was in the operation theatre for the surgery when the medical assistant entered in the theatre and instructed her.
"Take off your clothes, lie down, very quickly, three minutes without pain." The nurse sat ready to work.
Adrianna removed her clothings and wore a surgical patient gown, then she laid on the blue surgical sheet. Her heart was beating abruptly as she felt something was not right. She saw the nurse arranging the instruments on the table and it was her decision to get the babies aborted. She shouldn't be afraid, right?
She was helpless as she didn't find the man, and she didn't know who the man was. The only contact information she had was thrown away by her sister. She tried looking for the note but couldn't find it in the trash can.
Apart from looking for a place to live and a job in those two months, she was looking for that man too, but shili garden was a vast place with a dense population. There was hardly a coincidence if she had found him here.
She accepted that somehow, it was her fault too so she couldn't blame anyone for it but herself and these twins were hers too. Now that she had the right to choose for better, she decided to abort them.
Adrianna let out a long sigh and made her mind to get the abortion done, now there was no space for guilt trips.
The nurse, who was a middle-aged woman, heard Adrianna sigh and she noticed her fidgeting her fingers subconsciously. She knew that she was in a dilemma and might think about it once again.
The nurse asked her, "Dear, are you sure about this?"
Adrianna looked at her in confusion. "Sorry?"
"Do you really want to do this? you have healthy twins growing in your womb. Have you thought about it already? The procedure of abortion is irreversible. Once it's done, your babies will be gone." Said the nurse.
Adrianna flinched and breathed deeply, "what am I supposed to do? I have no decent job or anything to support myself. my partner left me." She cried.
"Is that the reason why you wanted to abort? Listen to me, once this is done, there is no guarantee that you will have another twin in the future. The chances are almost zero, or might not get pregnant again. A baby is a blessing from god and they have blessed you with two. I have been performing legal abortions since a long time but more than ninety percent of woman regretted their decision and ran for in vivo fertility centers to get pregnant again. Do you want to think about it again?" The nurse explained briefly to her.
Adrianna's eyes widened in shock, and suddenly they turned red. She was crying.
"Can I look at that sonography report again?" She looked at the nurse with hope
The nurse nodded and handed it to her, "Look here, two embryos and they are bigger than their age. it won't take long when you should be able to feel the fetal movement in a few days, and they will be born in a few months. Once they are born, your life will change and you will be entitled as a mother. You will watch them grow into beautiful persons." The nurse pointed out the two embryos in the report.
Adrianna's eyes filled with tears of joy when she saw the embryos and she felt guilty for deciding to get rid of them. Her motherly instincts kicked in, "What should I do? I'm a little reluctant."
"Then don't do it." The nurse said, "if there is a bit of hesitation, you shouldn't do it at all… and that will be considered a sin too."
"A sin?" Adrianna gasped when she heard that she was going to commit a sin.
"Yes, a sin, look, they are two lives, and they will become medical waste in three minutes."
"Trash?" Adrianna thought and was scared of the outcome, her heart twitched thinking about the crime and she got up immediately, turned to the nurse and responded, "I no longer intended to go for the surgery, I will be keeping the babies. After All, they are mine too and it's my responsibility to look after them."
The nurse smiled and nodded her head in agreement "That's great, you are brave and I know you can do it. Don't think that you are alone in this world. I have seen many women going through phases and achieving their dreams after children were born. It will pass and you will thank yourself one day…"
"Thank you!" Adrianna got dressed and bowed deeply before leaving the operation theatre.
When she came out from the hospital, she looked up at the vast blue sky and inhaled the air. She realised that these babies were hope for her future. She was purposeless and these babies gave her one. Adrianna decided that she will continue the pregnancy. After making the decision of having the kids, Adrianna blushed and smiled.
She was about to book a cab for herself when she saw an ambulance carrying a child covered in blood. There were many men in black suits and they cleared the pathway for the easy entrance of the child inside the hospital.
She volunteered to help the child and the child accidentally slipped and burst into tears in an instant.
"We need doctors to help us… please move out of the way.." one man in a suit tried to push Adrianna away.
"Wait." Someone made the man halt, "let her do it…" the voice held authority and the person appeared to be a powerful persona.
Adrianna turned her head around to look at the man who let her coax the little child, but there was no one.
The voice that she heard was different and soothing, yet low and dangerous but there was a sort of decency in the tone, "Go and coax the child."
"But, you need surgery right away." The man in a suit informed…
"Do as I say…" suddenly, a man got up from the stretcher and Adrianna's gaze landed on him, although his clothes were stained in blood, he was still bold and confident. They might have gotten into an accident and been brought here.
"Yes!" The bodyguard immediately stepped forward to help the child up and coaxed him.
The man on the stretcher sighed and looked at the child with him. He sat up on the stretcher and glanced at the child with concern
Adrianna was confused but she did her best to help the child. Meanwhile, the man glanced at her and observed her from a distance.
Adrianna felt the feeling of being watched so she turned and spotted the man staring at her. She couldn't help but glanced at the man more, he was well built and looked decent from the outfit, since his face was stained with blood, she couldn't see his face clearly.
When their gaze struck each other, Adrianna instantly felt cold all over her body. She felt awkward and turned her face to the child and informed the unsettling gaze of the stranger.
"Thank you." The man in black suit appreciated the help she offered.
Adrianna coaxed the child and made him sit inside the car. She felt the sharp eyes on her till the car had disappeared from her sight.
Subconsciously, she stroked her belly, and felt a movement inside. Adrianna was surprised, could it be that this is the legendary fetal movement?
She widened her eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up involuntarily into a smile.
Now that she was determined to raise twins alone, nothing could stop her now.
In the darkest alley, past midnight, a woman was running to catch the last train to her station. The places seemed abandoned as no shops were open and hardly any person seemed to roam that hour. It not only increased her anxiety but built a tension around her. The timing for the train to stop was almost five minutes and the woman sighed that she finally made it in time.Suddenly, she started to feel cold during the summer night and there were no air conditioners at the station either. She looked around to see if someone was there with her but as far as her sight went, she found nothing suspicious. She rubbed her palms together as she shivered. Suddenly, she felt a presence behind her but when she turned around, no one was there. She was confused. Her eyes were fixed on the digital watch, hardly a few more seconds and she will be inside the train.The train arrived and she was about to enter when she felt a tap on her shoulder. The woman flinched and didn't look back and jumped into th
The Penthouse ScandalA few days later, in the knight's penthouse. With the help of Cathy's sister in law, she got information about Alaric Knight being here with a woman, and Adrianna had to catch them red handed. She hid inside the closet and set her camera to record everything she could.After a while, she heard someone coming inside the room. It was dark but when the lights were turned on, she could see them clearly.There was a man and a woman standing close to each other, basically arguing about something near the window. As the woman seemed upset, she peeked through the glass pane and avoided the man's gaze."Sydney, what are you talking about?" Asked the man.The woman stayed silent but closed the proximity with the man, her hands roamed over his chest and she observed him keenly. She bit her lower lips and looked at the man with her eyes filled in lust.Adrianna saw them talking to each other when the woman made her move first and planted kisses on the bare chest of the man.
Inside the conference hall, Knight's mansion. Alaric Knight attended an important meeting with elders of the council.There were five elders from each coven, standing tall and taking their thrones respectively. All of them looked old and pale yet dangerous and powerful. Their gaze was enough to make the ordinary coven members bow to them.When Alaric arrived in the hall, all of the elders started him curiously. He was the true vampire heir of the Knight's. Upon his arrival, the other coven members stood in respect and sat after Alaric passed the alley."Why am I being called here without any prior notice?" He stared into the eyes of the council members and demanded an answer."Such a disregard to receive from an honourable family. Alaric Knight, how dare you disrespect us? If it wasn't for your father, I would have thrown you out of this place." Lady Adna spoke harshly."Adna, don't throw empty bullets at me. If you mean your words, you better turn them into action. I won't get threat
Cathy went to the apartment, looking for Adrianna. She wasn't picking her phone and this startled Cathy very much.Her kids were anxious and worried and this made Cathy more concerned. However, she felt confused as the apartment was not locked but Adrianna found nowhere. She tried calling her again and noticed that Adrianna's phone was on the kitchen counter. What in the world made her leave her phone? She even forgot to lock her apartment? She never did that before.Suddenly, her chest puffed as her thoughts went to the negative side. More, the recent attacks and killings had got her. Without wasting another second, she dialed the emergency number and called the police."Hello 911, what's your emergency?" Asked the operator."My friend is missing… and the house is not locked and her phone is inside… I am worried.." Cathy was concerned."Mam, please calm down and let me know the details. Does your friend have been missing for twenty four hours?" The operator started to point the deta
On her way, returning back to home, Adrianna was depressed from the events happening in her life. She wondered what went wrong? Everything was going good till the day she went camping with her boyfriend. Everything turned upside down for her. It's been five years since she saw her family but what bothered her most was that her family didn't try to find her either. She sighed and took a turn to the building and noticed the police cars in the parking lot. Something stirred in her mind and she ran to get inside."We haven't found anyone yet, yes… the woman is short, almost five foot four inches and brunette with Hazel eyes." The policeman was explaining the features of a person over a phone call."What happened here?" Adrianna asked someone from the crowd."A girl went missing." She replied."Oh.." Adrianna was shocked.Suddenly, she spotted her kids with Cathy and she ran to them."Layla and Asher…" Adrianna called them."Mommy is back…" the kids ran to their mothers, so did Cathy."Ad
The birds around the cafe stop chirping, so does the air drop low. But the tension inside the fully air-conditioned cafe raised the temperature, it seemed odd to feel sweaty.Adrianna perspired as she was surrounded with bulky men in the space. When one of the investors molested her and got her fired without getting a penny for which she worked so hard, she got frustrated and slapped the man out of it. She realised what she had done but it was too late and the man already charged himself on her. However, before he could hurt her by hitting her with his hands, someone barged in time and grabbed the man's arm, pushing him away from her. Adrianna was shocked when the investor was thrown a few meters away, so were others.Her eyes landed on the man in front of her who was well dressed with a suit and tie. His hair was long and fell backward to his shoulder. He had a sharp nose and thin lips but he looked handsome."No matter what, a gentleman was raised not to raise his hand on a hand, a
Adrianna returned back to her apartment and she was excited to break the news to her friend Cathy. After preparing the meal, Adrianna left the apartment to get her kids back from daycare. She was positive and radiating, knowing that most of her problems will get resolved by the money.She picked her babies from the daycare and took them to the park. "Layla and Asher, both of you listen… play in the park and later, i will get you both ice cream." Said Adrianna."Wow, ice cream… thank you, mommy!!!" Layla appreciated the offer and then they both went to play on the swings.Adrianna watched them from the bench she was sitting on. She exhaled and picked her phone. She was going through her phone's gallery and looking at the photos when randomly a picture appeared and her eyes widened in disbelief. It was a picture of her sister, Laura along with Jason and her. The picture was from the camping night, from where everything in her life went down. She looked at her kids playing joyfully in
Those eagle's eyes pierce through her soul when she forgot to breathe, looking at him in confusion but when the realisation dawned upon her, she was forced to bounce back in reality. Not today, never tomorrow, she wanted to meet him again. There was always a feeling of getting ripped into pieces when his red eyes gazed at her. She gulped the thick saliva down to her throat and proceeded to start the conversation."I…. I….." but no words came out."Nervous?" Asked Alaric with an amusing expression decorated on his face. "Uh…." Adrianna was aware that the tongue tie was horrible and when no words came out, she sighed and lowered her head a bit."Are you really this innocent or do you act so well that I can't see your concealed emotions? What are you trying to hide?" Alaric fumed and glanced at her keenly. Adrianna glared at him because of anger and embarrassment, her face flushed crimson. "Will you let me inside?" He sighed and raised his brows at her.Adrianna was confused but let
