The next morning. She got ready for work. Jasmine had already told her she would give her the drug on her way back home.
She went to her cubicle, and saw Christina, who was already waiting as usual. That’s how she has been for the past two weeks; she likes to gossip before going to her own cubicle. “Hey Ellie! I’ve been waiting for you. Why did you come late?” She asked. She thought maybe Ellie wasn’t coming to work.
“I’m sorry, I woke up late.” Ellie replied. “Oh, ok, do you want coffee?” Christina asked. Ellie wanted to reject it because she knew that it might harm her baby, but she didn’t want to keep the baby, and she was looking for the fastest route to get rid of her pregnancy.
She sighed and collected the black coffee from her, even though she was not sure maybe it would help. She put it on her table. And after Christina finished talking, she went to her cubicle, leaving her alone, she looked at the black coffee and sighed again. “I’m so sorry, baby.” She said, rubbed her tummy before drinking it.
At lunchtime, Ellie and Christina went to the cafeteria. Even though Ellie was forced to go by Christina, they ate their food and talked, but Christina did almost all the talking. After they finished eating, they were about to leave the cafeteria when they bumped into someone.
“Hey Ellie! How are you?” Sam asked, smiling at her.
“Oh Sam. I’m fine, and you.” Ellie answered with a smile. Christina, who was just looking at her, noticed how her mood had changed from being moody to a happy one.
“I’m good. I’m sorry I couldn’t congratulate you on your new job.” Sam said. He has always been like that to Ellie; he only comes to talk or smile with her when he has broken up with his girlfriend.
Ellie had also failed to notice this because of her love for him. Jasmine was the only one who noticed it. She has talked to Ellie so many times, but she wouldn’t listen. There was even a time she saw Sam kissing a girl. She cried and later forgave him.
“No, it’s fine,” she said, smiling meekly at him.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Do you maybe want to have dinner with me tonight?” He asked, but that was when she remembered her pregnancy. She couldn’t do this now, not with the child in her. With sadness written all over her face, she said, “I would love to, but I’m quite busy tonight; maybe another time.”
“Oh, Ok. No problem. I will see you later.” Sam said before leaving her sight.
“Oh my goodness, girl, who is that good-looking man?” Christina asked, coming closer to her.
“He’s just a friend, Christina; there’s nothing more.” She said, smiling at her. She knew the girl was going to ask her questions, and she would not tell her he was just her childhood friend and crush.
How can you tell me he’s just a friend and he’s asking you out on a date?
Let’s go; we have a lot of work to do. Ellie said, moving forward before the girl would say anything else.
They spent the day working and solving out files. Ellie’s mind was just thinking of different ways she could get rid of the baby. She hated the fact that she would have to kill an innocent baby, but it was the right thing to do. She was not about to give birth to a baby without a father.
After work, Jasmine met her in the middle of the road to give her the drug. She couldn’t follow her home because she was not done with work in the hospital, but what they didn’t know was that someone was watching their every move.
When she got home, she cooked and ate her dinner. She took one tablet of the drug, which Jasmine gave her. “I’m really sorry.” She said, rubbing her tummy lightly.
She decided to watch a movie in the sitting room, but later went into the room when she started to feel sleepy. She fell asleep, but it didn’t take long when a sharp pain in her tummy woke her up. She tried standing up, but felt a lot of pain. The pain was so unbearable that she had to crawl out of the room.
Tears were running down her eyes. She looked at her legs and saw that her clothes were covered in blood. She couldn’t stand up; she had to crawl to where her phone was.
She called Jasmine, who only picked up after the second ring. “Jasmine, I’m in pain.” She cried before passing out, causing her phone screen to break because of the fall. “Ellie, hello!” Jasmine called out to her, but she didn’t get any response.
Jasmine immediately called an emergency number; they went to her house and rushed her to the hospital.

Hello sir.
“What is it?” He groaned over the phone; he was so angry that he had disturbed his sleep.
“The woman has just been rushed to the hospital.” The man said. Without bothering to ask more details, Alex immediately stood up from his bed. “Send me the details of the hospital right now.” He growled at the man before hanging up. He took his car keys and left the house instantly.
He drove at a very high speed. He also didn’t understand why he was so scared because of the human girl; perhaps it was only because of his wolf.

Jasmine was crying in front of the emergency room. She was expecting a doctor to at least come out so she could ask about her friend. She wanted to call Mrs. Loren, Ellie’s mother, but she didn’t want to get her worried.
Suddenly, a man walked in. She looked up at the man and felt her heart skip a beat. It was the CEO of Warren Corporation. She had never seen this man in real life, only on social media and television.
“Are you Jasmine?” Alex asked, looking at the girl with a swollen face. He could tell she had cried out of her eyes.
“Yes. Yes, I’m Jasmine.” She stuttered; she was really scared of the man, but she managed to stay in the same space with him. Who wouldn’t be scared after the rumors she had heard about him and his ruthlessness, even though he’s so good-looking.
He was about to say another thing when the door of the emergency room opened and a doctor came out. The doctor looked at both of them and turned to the girl who followed Ellie. “I must say, it’s a miracle the drug she used didn’t have any effect on her or the baby.”
“Baby?” Alex asked with a shocking expression. He thought his ears were playing tricks on him.
The doctor looked at him and said, “Your wife is three weeks pregnant.” He still hadn’t recovered from the shock, his eyes moving from the doctor to the girl, who was just standing with her head down.
