Chapter Thirty

LENA’S POV

I had replayed the playlist for about 5 times and it was getting boring and old. I understood that this was my reality now and listening to a playlist from my ex was not going to help matters. He was no longer in my life, the last I heard of him was that he was getting married and if things went well, he could already be a father.
We’ll time hadn’t definitely flew, the only difference in my case had to be the fact I was pregnant but for a lunatic who didn’t know the first things about being a father and didn’t even believe the child was his even.

It was really nice to engage in morning daydreams but i figured it was pointless trying to wish for things that seemed like a fairytale in my case. My brief meeting with Dr Freya had made me really excited and it was nice that we had some things in common. One major thing I had picked was her hatred for Richard and it was nice seeing her act it out even if she hadn’t made comments yet. I had nothing to do with my time except lazy about and find things to poke my nose into for the period that Richard was not around. Thanks to Mrs Paxton I was still regarded as the lady of the house and no one dared to disrespect me when I came into a room, not even the newbie amongst the staff.

I threw on a robe and hurried down the stairs to have breakfast, I enjoyed having breakfast in my room but something for a change especially since it didn’t involve Richard was not a bad idea.
I was too stunned to speak when I arrived in the dining room as I saw Luna having breakfast and causally strolling through her phone.i wanted to return back but I summoned courage to have my seat and request my food.

“Ahem” i faked a cough trying to draw her attention in case she hadn’t noticed my presence but she simply threw a quick glance at me and returned to eating her food.

My food was served and I saw olives scattered in it., I had no personal hatred for olives, matter of fact I enjoyed olives when i was younger but this morning seeing it in my food just made me irritated for whatever reason. I carefully picked out all the olives I could find and set it aside before processing with the meal.

“Your child would be a picky one I see, I don’t know who it takes after, you are rarely picky anything goes well for you. And I know for a fact that Richard isn’t picky either.”

I was hurt by her statement, the way she causally said that i was fine with anything made my chest born and mu stomach tighten, and I knew for a fact that it had nothing to do with my baby.

“What would you know about Richard?” I asked casually, trying to act like I didn’t feel sad or any emotion at all at her direct shade at me.

“Oh well, I know enough. Like how he doesn’t want you here and you might be forcing yourself on him.”

“I really wish that were the case, at least I’d be able to pack my things and leave whenever I wanted, but Richard would never let me do that.”

“You speak like he is in love with you and he wants you all for himself. But in reality he wouldn’t mind if you just disappeared. What type of man would want to get himself worked up over a pushover like you.”

“A pushover?, because I have let you and our parents to have everything you ever wanted and the expense of my hapoiness, you suddenly think it’s best to call me a pushover.” I questioned already feeling choked up by tears.

“No one asked you to sacrifice a thing okay, you could have fought back but you are too weak, that’s why I would trample upon you a million times and you will still believe we are cool.”

I didn’t want to be on tears where there was Lena, I don’t want to feel defeated or stupid , so I needed to end the conversation as soon as I could and cry all I wanted alone.

“Oh well I have allowed you all to push me around barking orders at me all my life, starting from today , not anymore.”

“Then start by leaving Richard, he’s mine afterall, and I want him back.”

“You speak about Richard like he’s a price or something, little miss grow up and understand that Richard is a huge mistake.”

“Or maybe you you don’t have what it takes to tame a man yeah, so let me have my original spot back, and I’ll show you how it’s Done”

“I’ll cut you a deal, if you can seduce Richard and he agrees to have you and only you fully. Then take me out of the picture. I never wanted in to start with, neither do I right now, I believe it’s a fair deal.”

“Oh well don’t be crying or getting mad when I win this deal.”

“You were always the crybaby when we were younger, I dare not take your role. And I really hope you win this and then I can be finally free from every single one of you.”

I stood up and pushed the plates forward before storming out of the dining room angrily.
I sank into my bed as soon as I got to my room thinking of how differently my life would turn out if Richard knew who I was truly and I wasn’t being mistaken as Luna. But it was pointless trying to make him believe that I was the good sister, from his statement before he left the room yesterday, he already promised that even if I was different, he still wasn’t going to change towards me.

I remembered that I forgot to give the list of things to Mrs Paxton or maybe I did and my head was not calculating it well enough, I quickly sent her a text message to be sure and scrolled on Instagram for a while. I came across a picture of Tyler and he had his shirt open showing his strong abs. I realized he hadn’t spoken to me since i left his house and I thought it was better if I steered clear because of his girlfriend.

But I couldn’t do that, I was thinking about him and I also wanted to thank him for helping me, or maybe it was the excuse I wanted to come up with for calling me, either way I was going to call him. He picked on the first ring and my heart skipped a beat

“Hey Tyler, am I disturbing something?” I asked

“Even if you were, you don’t think i would actually say right?. Luckily for you I am free, what’s going on?”

“Oh nothing much, just a little rift with my sister this morning added with the fact that I am bored here in this house and I am a prisoner so I can’t even go anywhere,Not like I have anywhere to go in the first place though.” I complained

“Oh yeah, maybe you could be climbing the windows of my apartment if you really had a place to be but who’s judging.” I laughedwholeheartedly

“That was a one time thing, I am not allowing it repeat itself.”

“Yeah it shouldn’t, I could have passed out seeing you this morning if you weren’t so pretty.”

I loved the way his words made me feel special, forgetting how much trouble I was in.

“Thank you for being here for me Tyler, with my family turning their backs on me I don’t know if I would hav ever been able to do this on my own , I owe you a lot.”

“Oh well you can start by repaying with spending time with me this afternoon.”

“I can’t go out remember? I am on lock down.”

“Who said anything about going out?” He disconnected the call and I heard a knock on my window. I was surprised but excited that he was here and I quickly open it up,

“How were you able to get in?” I questioned

“Richard was my friend before he started to act up alright?, I know the house like the back of my hands.”

“Right, I am just really glad to see you here and I was dying of boredom, so were you on your way or??”

“I was in the neighborhood and since you mentioned that you were bored I thought it was going to be nice to check up on me and see how you were faring.”
I watched him analyze my body for a minute and I got uncomfortable? Maybe because he had a girlfriend, or maybe I was pregnant and I didn’t feel sexy enough.

“That’s kind of you”

“Like I said, you can count on me, you don’t look okay, did you get beat up?”

So that explained why he was staring at me and there I was overthinking everything

“Uhmm, yes I did, but I am fine now I promise, Mrs Paxton made a doctor check me up and she assured me that I am fine, and so is the baby.”

“Okay then, but I swear that I will get you out of this soon, and you will be far away from all of this, I will make sure you are safe.”

“Thanks Ty, you’re already doing more than enough….”
