Heart of the Past

Amelia POV

“That’s the third time you’ve threw up today, you need to visit a doctor Amy “Diana advised at the lunch break. It’s been a day since Dylan’s birthday party but I couldn’t help but remember kyle’s threat.

“I’m fine, it could be a stomach bug or something” I replied even though I was being suspicious of what’s was happening to me.

“In that case Amy, stay safe alright “she advised. “Well, I saw you talking to a cute guy yesterday, who was he? “She asked giving me a teasing look.

“He is Lucas and please don’t give me that stupid look,” I told her but she smirked and eat her lunch.

The lunch break ended and I went back to my office. The phone rang and I picked it up.

“In my office now “Dylan commanded and dropped the call before I could reply to him. I knocked on the door of his office and entered.

“Sir you called for me” I announced my presence, he looked up from what he was doing and stared at me. “Sir!! ” I called for his attention.

“why is he staring like a moron?” I rolled my eyes at him.

“Right, Amelia you’ve been avoiding me for a long time now. Care to explain why? “He inquired.

I frowned and glared hard at him. How dare he ask me that question? I took a deep breath before replying to him “I have no explanation Dylan, and I wasn’t avoiding you”.

He stood up and walked to me with a hard look. “Oh really Amelia, ever since we came back from Paris you’ve been avoiding me”.

“Good for you” I muttered.

“Did you just say something? I’ll like it if you could speak up, I didn’t even see you yesterday at my birthday party”. He complained, I faced him and chuckled. “What’s funny Amelia, I’m being serious here ”

“And I wasn’t trying to be funny, look Dylan you and I are not a topic I want to discuss, I feel dizzy right now”

Dylan placed a hand on my forehead and cursed. “Fuck!! Amy you are burning up, come I’ll take you to the hospital “.

I slapped his hand away and raised my hand indicating that he shouldn’t come close to me. “Don’t act like your car… e” I didn’t finish my sentence as I fell and luckily I fell into his muscular arm.

“That’s it Amelia. I’m taking you to the hospital. “. He carried me in his arms and walked out of the office.

When I woke up, I was on a hospital bed. Dylan sat down on a chair and watched me as I tried to rise from the bed.

“Calm down, easy easy” he helped me up and touched my forehead.

“Your temperature is normal now”.

“What’s happening to me? “I asked him.

He pointed towards the door. “The doctor conducted a test, she should be here in a minute. “Just as he was speaking the doctor entered with a file. “The doctor is here” He announced.

“Hello lovebirds I have good news” the doctor announced…

“We are not lovebirds” I quickly replied to stop the confusion

“Well whatever you are, you are…” as the doctor was about to announce the result of the test, Dylan phone rang

“I’m sorry but I have to take this, I’ll be back shortly “he apologized and went out of the ward to pick his call.

“Doctor what’s wrong with me? “I asked but she looked at the door like she was waiting for Dylan to appear. “Doctor!! “I called for her attention.

“Sorry I was waiting for your husband to come,” she said.

I faced palmed myself and didn’t bother to correct her. “Just tell me what going on with me? “I asked in anticipation…

“Okay, congratulations ma’am you are expecting a baby. You are three weeks pregnant “she announced joyfully but to me, it was a sad announcement.

“Pregnant? I’m pregnant “I whispered and touched my stomach

Just then Dylan entered. “So what’s wrong with her? “Dylan asked the doctor.

“She is….. “I cut the doctor off and replied to him.

“It’s a stomach bug, I might have taken something that wasn’t meant for my stomach ” I replied, the doctor gave me a weird look but seems like she understood so she played along.

“Oh is she okay to be discharged now? “Dylan asked.

“Yeah she is, I’ll just prescribe some drugs and do the discharge papers “the doctor replied and walked out of the ward.

“Thank you Dylan for helping me”.

“Now we are even” he replied.

I rolled my eyes because I understood what he meant.

*****

“Mum I’m pregnant ” I announced as I walked to my apartment that night.

“What? Amelia how? “She asked, I could see the disappointment in her eyes. “Is it Dylan’s? “.

“Yes,” I sobbed.”

she walked to me and hugged me. “It’s okay baby, I’m here for you”. She pats me on the back as I cried.

“I’m sorry mum, I’m sorry” I cried as I begged her.

“It’s okay Amelia, you are no longer a baby. You are old enough to make your own decisions. Does Dylan knows? “.

“No… “I replied, she was about to say something but I cut her off. “I can’t tell him, mum, he is getting married and I don’t want him to do anything bad when he finds out”.

My mother sighed and hug me. “It’s okay baby, I’ll support you but the baby deserve a father”.

“I’ll worry about that when I have given birth” I replied.

my mother looked at me and smiled. “I’m going to become a grandmother” she shouted, I laughed at her outburst and for a moment I touched my stomach and felt happy that I was having a part of Dylan in me.

****

“A date? ” my mother eyed me as I announced that I was having a date with Lucas “How well do you know this guy baby? ”

“Mum I know him enough, it’s not like I want to date him “I replied.

“Okay baby, be careful. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do” she winked at me.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

I facepalmed myself at what she said. My mother is a wonderful person, ever since she learned about my pregnancy three days ago she had to be protective of me.

“Mum, stop feeding my ears with dirty talks”I covered my ears as she teased me. The doorbell rang as Lucas stood there in all his glory when I opened the door.

“You look good” he commented at my purple dress.

” don’t mind my dress it was chosen by my mother Luciana the best designer in the world.” I joked and we both laughed. “Thank you, you look amazing too”I commented. h

He looks handsome in the black suit he was wearing. I also found him attractive.

“Shall we? ”

“We shall”I walked out of the house with him into the car. “So where are we going to?

“My penthouse, I’m going to make some homemade chicken wings for you”.

“Awwwwn yummy”I licked my lips at the imagination of the chicken. He laughed at my expression.

When we arrived at the penthouse, I stared at the house like it was made of gold although I have seen something like that before.”Are you okay? “Lucas asked as we entered his apartment.

I gave him a smile stating that I was fine. “Have a seat” he pointed to a couch for me to the seat.

“Thank you” I replied as I looked around the house, it was a normal penthouse for a bachelor.

“I’ll just go up and change then we start our cooking,” he said. I nodded in response and watched him walk upstairs to where I presumed was the direction of his room. My phone rang and I wondered who could be calling me at this time.

I stared at the name of the caller and it’s was none other person than Dylan.

“What? ” I sounded like I didn’t want him calling me.

“Where are you, Amelia? “He replied over the phone.

“None of your business mister Blackstone ”

“It my business miss, I need to see you. Where are you? ”

“On a date. today is Sunday. “I was about ending the call when I saw Lucas walking downstairs stark naked.

“what the fuck?” I muttered. I had to cover my eyes at his nudity “What are you doing Lucas? ”

“Where are you amelia? What going on there? Where are you?” Dylan shouted over the phone.

Lucas moved to me and grab my hand, my phone dropped to the ground as he gripped my arm.

“What are you doing Lucas? ” I whispered.

He pushed down to the couch and danced. His manhood swung from left to right. It’s was a disgusting view to look at.

“Oh shut up silly, I’m going to have my way with you tonight and no one is going to stop me” he laughed wickedly and laid on top of me.

“Let’s go off me you swine!! “I yelled, I couldn’t let this idiot have his way with me.

“Shut up your rag,” he said and slapped me hard on the face, for some seconds I couldn’t hear anything because of the slap but it did one thing, The slap shut me up I couldn’t do anything as he tore my dress all I could think of was the baby inside of me. I closed my eyes and welcomed the tears that were flowing freely down my face.

“You thought I was going to date you, you piece of trash” he groped my breast and squeezed it hard, I bit my lips to stop the pain I was experiencing. When I thought all hope was lost Lucas was thrown off me into a nearby table, I could see Dylan on top of Lucas punching him as his life depended on it I stood up from where I was and rushed to him.

“Stop, stop it, Dylan. Please”I begged, he listened and left Lucas on the floor with a bloody nose.

“Are you alright? “He asked and embraced me.

“He tried to rape me… “I cried

“Shush it’s okay, I have called the police, they should be here soon,” he assured me. “I hope you are fine,” he asked again and I nodded.

The police came and took Lucas away, they took my statement and promised to make sure Lucas faced the law.

“Thank you once again, Dylan, how did you find me? I didn’t tell you where I was? “I inquired because I didn’t understand how he found out where I was.

“Well, I tracked your phone. Thankfully the call didn’t end and I tracked you down here, what were you thinking Amelia. Lucas is a freaking psychopath, what we’re you doing with him?”

“I didn’t know he was a bad person, I met him at your birthday party. I’m sorry if you hadn’t come then I wouldn’t know what would have happened “I cried…

“Shush I’m here now Amy.”

I wanted to tell him about the pregnancy but I didn’t want to break his wedding, I’m not a bad person so I let it be.
