CHAPTER 32

As soon as Zion left, I run back to his room and checked my phone to track my period. My whole body fainted when I saw that I was three days late. It was never late, and all this pains and mood swings that I was feeling was something that I was familiar of.

"No..." I try to calm the fast beating of my heart and change into a much more comfortable clothes.

Wearing more decent, I went out with only the money Zion gave me the other week. I rode a taxi towards the nearest pharmacy and bought a pregnancy test. Three to make it sure.

A part of me was wishing that this isn't real while another part of my heart hopes that this could stop the pain and longing that I'm still feeling after losing our child.

I didn't know my tears were falling as I ride the taxi going back to Zion's unit. I just figured out when I fished for my phone out. Seeing my reflection, I was hesitant if I should call Zion just like what happened last time. He's only the one who can understand me but I'm scared.

What if it happened again? What if he hurt me again? What if I lost our kid again?

Too many questions were bugging me. When I went back to Zion's unit, I still have some time to decide if I should take the test or leave it be.

But then my conscience made me take it and now that I'm already inside the bathroom, looking at the three rectangular white sticks as one red line shows first. My whole body was already trembling, my eyes keeps on swelling with tears and my knees badly wanted to give up.

I felt like something inside me burst, mixed emotions. Scared, happy, nervous and guilty. The three pregnancy tests has two red lines. All of it are stating the same answer.

"I'm pregnant..." I let out a whimper. "I'm scared," I curled up on my feet, having a hard time breathing as I keep on crying mutely. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I wanted to bash my head at the nearest wall.

How can I be so impulsive? Why didn't I think of this consequences when I let Zion pleasure me as I moan for his name? Now that I am about to bring another life in this world, how can I explain to him about me and Zion's relationship? How can I even raise him without killing him just like what I did... No, it was not only my fault. Without us killing this innocent life?

I didn't know how long have I been staying there, crying. I open up the room and found my phone vibrating, it was Zion calling. I picked it up but I didn't say a word.

"Thanks god you picked up." He sounded as if he was able to breath comfortably after I pick the phone. "I've been calling you for some minutes. I'll be home in less than an hour, I just need to finish this meeting. Do you want to eat something?" His voice sounded so sweet but I can't find myself moving a muscle or just say something.

A whole silence filled both of the lines, my mind was already wandering out to the decision that I made, praying and hoping that I'm not going through the wrong way.

"Allison? Is everything alright?" When I heard the slight panic in his voice, that's when I decided to turn off the call.

I abruptly reversed my bag upside down and let my things fall on the floor. I only took one of my card and took a black hoodie from Zion's clothes. I found a new and unused leggings inside his cabinet so I used it. Just enough time so I can ran away from all of them.

I hail a cab and went to the nearest atm machine, I withdraw just enough money that I can use to start up and left my atm card at the side where it can't be seen easily.

Leaving everything I have and not contacting each and any of the people in my life, I decided to left them and make sure that I won't do the same mistake that happened to our first child.

"I won't let anyone harm you, my love. I promise to protect and love you no matter what happened." Looking outside the window of the car I was in, I don't know how will I able to keep those promises but I will and I'll do it.

I promise you don't have to go through everything that I have been through from the past.

When I arrived at the airport, I used their phone to contact someone and ask for help. She can pull strings and take me out of this country even without the papers. Evelyn Roswell is one of my great friend, even if I don't treat nor show it to her, she's still willing to help.

"Don't worry, I got you covered." When I had her assurance it was the same time when a personnel approached me, asking me my destination. "Go with her, tell her which country so she can tell me and I can contact the airport for your landing."

I let out a sigh of relief. I don't know how she was able to pull this kind of strings, I just know that she's a pilot and that's all.

Going with the personnel, she leaded me to a business class without going through security. And as I look at the people slowly entering the plane, a lone tear fell from my eyes.

I'm going to live far away from everyone, but I'm doing this for my baby. I'm doing this to save him...

Because I already love him even when he's still inside me.

~ Zion Moretti's Point Of View ~

My forehead knotted when Allison didn't answer my calls after how many times of trying but when she finally picked up, she didn't even say a word and just ended the call.

There was something in me that's telling me that I should go and check on her but in a middle of a fucking important meeting. Gritting my teeth and clenching my jaw, I secretly sent a message to Allison. If she don't reply to me after one minute, I don't care anymore if I'm in front of this huge and prestigious businessmen. I will get out of this room to get Allison and make sure she's safe.

But two minutes finally passed by and not even a single reply from her.

Without thinking of the consequences, I hastily stood up, leading all their attention to me.

"Mr. Moretti–"

"Ryan will stay here to discuss some matter with regards my company. I have an emergency to attend to." I trust Ryan so much, he have been my secretary since I started building my empire. I was also the one who sent him to prestigious school so he can learn everything about managing huge companies. I know he'll do better.

Not giving them enough time to answer, I walk out of the room and called Allison's phone again and again though she's not answering. My heart was beating too fast as I silently pray that nothing bad happen to her.

I maneuver my car towards my unit, my legs are already trembling of fear and riding the elevator feels like eternity. I am finally in front of my unit, not waiting for some seconds to pass by, I hastily opened the door with full force.

"Allison! Allison, are you alright?" I called for her name continuously but there was no answer. When I enter my room, my whole face crumpled and darkened because of the mess. All her things were on the floor, her cards, ID's, papers, everything.

I bit my lower lip and checked the bathroom, thinking that she must be inside and having a bath again but when I checked, my whole face fainted and became numb.

Not because I didn't see her inside, but because of the white rectangular sticks over the sink. All three of it has two red lines and that ignited something inside of me.

"Fuck, no!" I took my phone out and called Ryan. I don't care if my company crumbles or if I lose it. Damn it, I don't even care if I lost all of my money. I need to find Allison and tak to her about this. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Answer the damn phone, Ryan!" I am slowly losing my mind.

My whole body was trembling in anger, fear and worry. I am not that dumb not to know what those red lines means. I was with her when she first tried using it.

I tried calling Allison's phone again but something ringed inside the room, it was her phone. She left her phone.

"Dad!" I'm already desperate. If I need to call all of my connection just to find her, I'll do it in a second. "Dad, I need your help. Allison is missing and I need to find her." I put the pregnancy test to my pocket and left my unit to check on the CCTV's.

I want to know if she was forced and hurt or if she left on her own. And looking at the footage in front of me, I could say that she planned to left after knowing that she's pregnant.

You're not going to run away from me this time, Allison.

It was maddening me. Why would she run away with our child!? Damn it, even if she won't tell me I'll know that it's my child she was carrying. I'm the only one who can touch and pleasure her and I won't let anyone do the things only I can do to her.

"Son, what happened?" Dad instantly welcomed me with a question as soon as I parked my car in front of our mansion.

Inside there was Allison's family, my parents might have told them what happened. I can't help but to abruptly sat my body down, my heart was still beating too fast and I want to burst out.

"Where's Allison, Zion? Where's our baby?" Aunt Anya's worried voice made me feel the worst person I can barely know.

If her reason was to run away from me because I might do the same thing I did from the past, I don't think I can even forgive myself. Damn! If I have a gun I would instantly shot myself because of all the trauma's I have to Allison. She doesn't deserve any of it but because of me, she's the one getting those burdens.

"She's pregnant." I announced. They immediately stopped asking her whereabouts and the whole place was filled with silence. Not even someone's breathing can be heard so I took the chance to take the pregnancy test to show them. "I found it inside my bathroom, Allison have been staying with me for the past weeks and something happened between us over those time–"

My whole body felt numb at the sudden force that made me fall on the cold ground. It was uncle Antonio, his fist landed on my cheeks that was followed by Dad's punch.

"You fucker! You did this to my daughter!" He pulled my hair and let it face him so he can punch me freely. Mom and dad just stood there, everyone just stood there, staring and watching as uncle Antonio and my father torture me.

I accepted it all, it was my fault and if something bad happened to Allison and our child, I swear that I'll be the one digging my own grave.

"I'm sorry..." I don't meant it for anyone but to Allison. She deserves all the happiness in the world but I fail to give it to her. "I'm so sorry." I let them punch and kick me and only stopped when bloods started dripping down from my face.

Some came from my eyes, nose and mouth but I can't feel anything aside from my heart breaking to tiny pieces. I ruined my chance to get Allison back to me.

So even with a bleeding and swelling face, I still manage to stand up so I can continue looking for her. I didn't rest and called every person whom I know that can help me. I also asked for the security footage of every road where she can possibly take a route and have all militaries and police stand by to check every vehicle.

I don't care if I lost everything, just not Allison and our baby. Not for the second time.
