CHAPTER 101

It's been three days. It's been 3 days and that idiot still doesn't show up! What does he plan to do with his life? He doesn't even know that I'm carrying his child again!

"How can he show you when you said, you don't want to see him," Maxim told me with a laugh as we both ate ice cream.

I glanced at Ria while in front of her teacher and they were doing an activity today. Next year maybe I'll be able to let her go and let her go to a real school. Now I'm still scared.

That Levi did not return home for three days. I somehow understand why he is like that because I don't answer even a text or call from him, why would he take me home to his parents' house? I just don’t know where it really is; whether to return to Tierra Fima or something else to take care of.

Everyone also tells me where he is but I don't seem to believe that. I don’t know if I will believe it or not.

“But, it’s been three days! Three fucking days? Can he really put up with me for that long?” I almost shouted and took another scoop.

"Maybe he has a surprise for you, Rae," Celine said with a smile and set a tray on the table.

“Here’s your milk. Drink that to keep your baby healthy. Not just ice cream,” she said seriously and went back to the kitchen which surprised me because she wasn't like this before.

I looked at a glass of milk in front of me and suddenly felt nauseous.

“Oh, my fuck! You might vomit at me!” Maxim screamed so I turned my back on her.

I shook my head and just avoided looking at that milk.

"Sorry, you can drink this instead," I said to her and left the cookies and cream-flavored ice cream again.

Maxim chuckled.

“Maybe your wedding is being taken care of. Why haven't you told him about your condition? I’m sure it’ll be home soon— ”

“Lumiere...”

We both turned to the source of that voice and I could almost release my grip when I saw him. And he is not alone.

“Oh! There he is. And there seems to be— ”

"So, what brings you here?" I asked him, cutting Maxim off, and looked at the woman next to him.

I frowned as she smiled at me.

She thought she was funny? I was disgusted with the look on her face so she stopped.

"Lumiere, she just wants to talk to you," Levi said and glanced slightly at the person next to him.

Oh, no. This isn't good for my baby.

"I don't want to talk to anyone so you can leave."

“But, Lumiere—”

“What now?! What was it to talk about? My god, Levi! You didn’t show up to me for three fucking days and then you'll come here today with that woman and telling me that she wants to talk to me? What for? About what? About your hidden relationship? Fuck you!”

I felt blood rush to my head. My whole muscles are shaking and my eyes are fucking burning! What the hell!

“Rae, you need to calm down. Something might happen to you and the baby...”Maxim whispered to me.

“Lumiere—”

“Excuse me, Rae. I'm just here to apologize— ”

“Am I talking to you? Not ‘isn’t it, so shut up,” I firmly said to Anne.

Yes, it’s Anne. That woman who tried to steal Levi from me. Like Mari and Hoseah. They both have a hidden desire for this man.

I turned back to Levi whose jaw was still tense and his face was starting to blush again.

“What? What would you say?”

"What is your problem? I can't understand you anymore! I didn't show up to you for three days because something important— ”

“Important? Is that more important than me? Then what was that important thing you were saying? Was it Anne? Was it your hidden relationship? Is that it?”

My tears started to fall when I shouted that and my eyes started to rotate again so I closed my eyes tightly.

“Levi, you need to stop this. This is not the right time, I’m telling you,” I heard Maxim say.

I just kept staring at him. His jaw is still clenching.

“Lumiere, it’s not like that. Please, calm down. What's going on? Come on, baby.”

He was about to approach me so I backed away immediately. When he touched me, I immediately pushed him.

“Stop it. Don't fucking touch me. I don’t want this child from you anymore,” I said to him while sobbing then I went on my way.

“Wait, what? Lumiere! What did you say?” I even heard him say that but I ignored it.

I hurried to my room and locked myself in there.

I don't understand him anymore. Why did he even bring that woman here? What is it they want from me? Was there's still something to talk about?

I was waiting for him the whole time. I know three days are short but for me, it wasn't. When you're waiting for someone to pick you up where they left you, even if it's just for a minute, it felt long because you're waiting for someone you love.

I was always waiting for him to show up to me. To pick me up to where he left me, but he was always coming back to me with someone else. I don't understand him anymore. How can I tell him now about our second baby? My mind is full of negative thoughts and I'm not used to it. I'm missing him so much. I'm missing him like crazy.

I don't even know what to think right now. This is getting me insane.
