Chapter 2
Amelia’s Point Of View.
“Why do you have to not tell me you’re pregnant?! Oh my god, Amelia! Do youeven consider me your friend?!”
I closed my eyes because of the loudness of Sandy’s voice.
“You’re just going to tell me now that you’re 9 months pregnant and about to give birth?!” she shouted from the other line.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m sorry… I just told dad when I was 3 months pregnant,” I explained and sighed.
Like Sandy, dad was also surprised when I told him, he thought Mike was the father but I told him the truth that he’s not the father.
I don’t know if dad tell Mike that I was pregnant, I don’t even care of what he will going think. That bastard is a cheater!
“Damn so okay, you’re pregnant! Is it a girl or a boy?” she asked immediately, I could feel the excitement in her voice so I smiled.
“A baby girl and a baby boy,” I answered.
“WHAT? IT’S A TWIN?!”
I laughed. “Yes, Sandy.”
Even I couldn’t believe it when my doctor said that my baby would be twins, but joy and excitement dominated my heart when I found out about it.
I know when I gave birth, I will have a hard time but I don’t care anymore. I just want to take care of my babies.
“Oh my god! I feel like I want to go there next to you and accompany you until you give birth!” she shouted.
My smile grew wider, we talked for several hours and she kept asking about my pregnancy. But when she asked if Mike was the father I told the truth, when she asked who I quickly changed the topic.
I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I’m 9 months pregnant and I’m about to give birth. I know for myself that I still haven’t forgotten what happened that night.
I can abort the babies inside my tummy, because I am a rape victim and these babies have no father. But every time I think about what mom told me before, that she thought about aborting me because she didn’t want to have children right away.
I thought my children would feel the way I felt when I found out my mom was planning to abort me.
But even though my mom said that to me, every night I still missed her. I wish she were here right now, supporting me for being a mother. I still haven’t moved on from what happened to her, even though dad re-married. I still missed her.
I don’t know if dad is already moved on about what happened to my mom, I remembered when he said to me that he will marry again.
My heart was filled with pain because maybe at that time I still didn’t understand that there were times when someone had to move on and get married again.
But until now, I still can’t accept that he is re-married to someone else. I hope someday, I will understand him. Now that I will be a parent too, I hope I can understand the decision he made.
I am very angry with the man who made me hate my body until now. I should not pour my anger on the babies in my tummy, they should not be the ones to suffer because they are not at fault for what happened.
I should not blame them because that man should feel my anger and not my future babies.
I never thought I would have a child, I don’t know if I will be a good mother because suddenly my life changed from that night.
I quickly wiped the tears that fell from my eyes. That demon took my dignity, and he will never be able to get it back even if the payment is death.
I stopped looking at my reflection when I heard the sound of my cellphone, signaling that someone was calling.
My forehead furrowed when I saw that it was dad calling, I sighed loudly before answering the call.
“Hey dad.”
“Amelia, how are you?” he asked.
“I’m okay, don’t worry I’m not neglecting myself especially since I’m about to give birth,” I answered.
“Aren’t you going to come home here? Are you sure you’re going to give birth abroad?” he asked seriously.
He has asked me about that several times but I am sure that I will give birth abroad.
“Yes dad.”
“Okay then there’s nothing I can do if that’s what you want to happen.”
I thought he would be even more angry with me when I told him I was pregnant. But it seems that my relationship with him became better because he found out that I was pregnant.
He asked who the father was but my only answer was that it was just a one night stand and I don’t know the father.
My plan is not to tell him about my pregnancy but I thought he deserves to know because mom is gone and he is the only family I can consider. So in the end I chose to tell the truth and that’s why I went here abroad.
The night I gave birth, only Sandy was by my side, holding my hand while I lay there struggling. I’m very thankful that she came here abroad because I just realized that it’s so hard to gave birth.
When I woke up, my newborn twin was next to me. My lips parted as I looked at my children, I looked at my son, he looks like the demon who raped me… he looks like his father…
“They’re both cute,” Sandy said. “What’s their name?”
Giving names for your children is the best thing I’m excited about, so I had a hard time picking their names.
“Aria and Caleb. . .”
All my life, my only wish was to have a mother, because God quickly took mom from me. And now that I’m a mother, I’ll make sure they don’t feel the way I felt before even if they don’t have a father to meet.
“One night stand?!” Sandy shouted in shock when I told her what I told dad.
“Yes, I don’t know Aria and Caleb’s father,” I said and sighed.
I think it’s better that I don’t tell her or anyone about what happened that night.
“But you can look for him! It’s hard to raise a child alone, why don’t you look for the man you had a one night stand with?!” she said.
“I don’t know where to start, Sandy. I don’t even know what that man’s name is,” I answered.
“If you didn’t know that man, why didn’t you just abort your children?” she said.
“You know the reason,” I said and she was speechless. “Don’t worry, we can be a family even if they don’t have a father to meet,” I added.
“Are you really not going to find the man who got you pregnant?”
It’s better to be a single mother than to find that demon.
I sighed heavily before shaking my head. “No because I don’t need him in my life…”
It’s hard to be a single mom, you’ll often wake up early in the morning because one of your children is crying. I often can’t eat properly because I’m breastfeeding them.
I can’t take care of myself anymore because I have to take care of my children, I know that my life will change when they come to me. But they’re my blessings.
When Sandy needed to go home, I hired a baby sitter because I knew I would have more trouble because Sandy was no longer by my side.
I noticed that Aria cried the fastest than Caleb, she also often needed to be picked up to sleep compared to Caleb who could fall asleep immediately after breast feeding.
The emotions in my heart are mixed but the joy is more dominant every time I look at Aria and Caleb, it turns out what they say is true. When you look at your children, the tiredness you feel will disappear and that’s how I feel.
“Don’t you still have plans to come home here, Amelia?” dad asked on the phone.
“I plan to stay here abroad for 5 years, dad,” I said.
I mean it, if it’s possible I won’t come back to where I was born because I’d rather be here forever.
“WHAT?! IS THAT STILL BECAUSE YOU’RE MAD AT ME?!”
I laughed. “No, I also want to learn to be independent here abroad, and I found peace here.”
“Really?”
“Yes and don’t worry because I’ll be back with my twins,” I said.
During the five years I stayed abroad, I learned a lot. I learned to be independent, I also looked for a part time job even though dad gave me money every month even though I didn’t ask him to give it to me.
That also helped a lot, especially with my children, before I was working with my dad as the secretary of his company. I knew that I would inherit his company, dad didn’t want to resign yet so I took a job as his secretary first so that I could have experience.
And now I have been staying here abroad for five years with my two children. I’ve proven that I can live without everything being expensive, I’m sure dad will be surprised when he finds out that I’m not spending half a million a week anymore.
When Aria and Caleb came, my life changed, I found happiness with them.
“Really, mom?! Will Caleb and I meet grandpa?” Aria said smiling as she looked at me.
Many people say that Aria and I have the same smile and I really think that what they are saying is true.
I smiled widely. “Yes baby.”
“I’m so excited to meet him!” she said.
“He’s excited to meet you too,” I answered and looked at Caleb who was right next to Aria. “Are you also excited to meet your grandpa?” I added.
He smiled and nodded. “Of course, mom.”
Caleb is the quiet one of the two, but he doesn’t hide his emotions. He’s always curious about everything, he and Aria are both smart. Caleb is also often more observant than Aria who just goes with the flow.
So when Caleb asked about his father, I was completely speechless.
Now we’re going back because dad really wants to see Aria and Caleb, I don’t want to go back but dad said if we don’t go home now he might die because he’s getting old.
I didn’t do anything but packed our things to go home.
When we left the airport with Aria and Caleb, I was feeling mixed emotions and Caleb seemed to notice that because he asked if I was okay and I only smiled.
When the car stopped, we quickly got off and the familiar mansion opened up to me.
I’m finally home. . . after avoiding it for so many years.
“You look so matured, Amelia!” dad said and I laughed.
Even Sandy said that when she visited me, I know I really matured.
“This is Aria and Caleb,” I introduced the twins to him, Aria smiled while Caleb only smiled a little.
“Wow! My grandchildren are beautiful and handsome,” dad said smiling so I smiled and was about to speak when I suddenly stopped when I saw Chelsey.
“Oh you finally come back!” Chelsey said and looked at my children. “It’s true you’re already a mother.”
“Yeah,” I said in a cold tone, I still feel the anger inside me because of what happened five years ago. How can I forgive them if they are not sorry for what they have done?
Chelsey was about to speak but suddenly Mike came from behind her and quickly hugged her, it seemed like he didn’t notice us so he acted like that.
“I missed you, babe.” Mike said to her.
I frowned and dad seemed to notice that so he cleared his throat causing Mike to look at us and I saw how his eyes widened in shock when he saw me.
“You don’t seem to know yet, Amelia. Mike and Chelsey just got engaged,” dad said and my lips parted in shock.
How the fuck that happened?
“Why are you so shocked, Amelia?”
I turned my back and saw my step mother Cecelia, her eyebrows raised while looking at me.
