Chapter 57 – In his room.
She stepped out of the restroom, wiping her face with a towel before dumping it on the nearby couch.
“Argh” She groaned out as she slumped down to the bed looking frustrated.
Her hands subconsciously went to her tummy and she rubbed on it, pondering her thoughts.
As much as she detested getting pregnant and having the baby, she still couldn’t afford to miss this chance.
The baby was like her savior. It came at the right time and at the same time, the wrong time because she wasn’t ready to be a mother yet, especially when she still needed to explore her youth and all the goodness of life.
She exhaled again and fell flatly on the bed, twitching her lips to the side. She will just have to keep it and use it as a weapon later on just in case there was any, but for now, she would lie low.
Don was slowly drifting away from her even though he doesn’t know it yet, and she needed to be prepared….. for the unknown.
A knock came in, interrupting her thoughts and she turned to it, seeming unmoved by it. It came again the second time, and she stood up from the bed, dragging her feet behind her.
She opened the door and scoffed upon sighting Bella.
“Why are you here?” She inquired after scrutinizing her with her eyes from her head to toe.
It was Bella’s turn to scoff. She didn’t answer immediately as she found her way into the room, pushing Eva aside.
“And where is my brother?” She asked after running her eyes through the corners of the room.
She was sure her brother wasn’t in.
“I don’t know where he is and even if I do, you shouldn’t expect to know it from me.” Eva blurted out as she walked past her to sit back on the bed.
Bella rolled her eyes in a loud sneer before going to drop the papers she came with on the table. Eva peered quietly behind her and comported immediately when she turned to face her.
“Tell my brother to study these before he goes to bed tonight,” Bella said with a grim look.
She turned to leave but halted almost immediately in her steps as if remembering something. She spun around to face her with a cunning smile.
“Right!” She uttered, pointing a finger towards her.
“Tomorrow, we’re going together to get your abortion done.” She blurted out, still in the cunning smile.
Eva’s eyes grew wide upon hearing that, and she sprang up on her feet instantly.
“What? Why are you so looking shocked?” Bella continued feigning ignorance as she observed her reaction.
“Who the hell do you think you are to tell me that? What rights do you have?” Eva spat out in between gritted teeth.
“As your boyfriend’s adorable kid sister, I think I have every right to,” Bella remarked with a smirk as she crossed her hands against her chest.
“Well, thank goodness you know that I am your brother’s girlfriend, and I am an adult, not someone a kid could help,” Eva replied, eyeing her from head to toe.
She was so pissed and….. a little scared. What if Bella meant it? Does it mean her plan would be destroyed?
“I can take myself to a hospital like I have always done.” She quickly added, muttering the last part.
“Really?” Bella questioned, raising a brow.
“You know I do not have a problem with it. You’re not fit to be a mother, and you know it.” She went on to say with a shrug.
“Thanks for rubbing that on my face. Now, get out of this room this instant.” Eva let out a feigned smile.
“I am on my way already.” Bella uttered with a smirk that sent cold shivers down Eva’s spine.
She stared at her one last time and walked out of the room.
Eva exhaled sharply before slumping back to the bed with her hand folded tightly beside her in a fist. She bit on her lower lip, trying to figure out a way if In case Bella meant what she said.
She wasn’t going to allow anybody to ruin her plan, not even the almighty Bella. This time, she was going to play her cards well to fulfill her desires.
The sudden outburst of the door broke her thoughts again, and she changed her worried expression to a smile, thinking it was Don this time, but shock washed over her face once again.
“What are you doing here?” She asked, standing to her feet.
He stared around the room for a while before turning his gaze to her as he closed the door behind him quietly.
“Well, I came to visit a friend.” He replied with a shrug.
“He isn’t here.” She announced and gulped down nothing.
“I know that.” He uttered, strolling freely into the room.
“Then why did you come?” She asked, staring suspiciously at him.
“I came here to see you.” He replied now standing in front of her as a smirk played around his lips.
“I don’t wish to see you.” She replied, staring directly into his eyes.
She was trying to avoid showing her fears, not now, or he might take advantage.
“What’s this rumor going on in the mansion?” He asked instead and she scoffed out.
“I don’t see how that is any of your business.” She replied, folding her hands against each other on her chest.
“How could you let yourself get pregnant, knowing fully well who he was? What were you thinking?” Klaus queried, ending his statement with a mocking chuckle.
Without giving a chance for her reply and a sinister smile playing on his lips, he took a step closer and she moved back. He took another step forward, and she took another backward.
They continued this routine until Eva hit her butts on the dressing table. He lowered his gaze to hers, trying to maintain eye contact whilst the smile continued to play on his lips.
What was he doing?
“I’ve told you earlier that any of these is none of your business.” She managed to say out loud without stuttering.
She was beginning to quiver in fear as she wondered what Don would do if he comes in to see them in that position.
What would become of her?
“But come to think of it, we also had sex, you know. So, what if?” He asked yet another question, which rendered Eva speechless.
“Just what if?” He repeated and rubbed his beard, pretending to go into thought.
She pushed him off her with all the strength she could muster, suddenly getting back herself.
“What the hell is wrong with you?!” She fired at him.
“You know what, just get out of this room.” She added in a deep frown.
He stared at her with his expression turning into amazement.
“Fine, I will go, but don’t think you have gotten rid of me so easily.” He said, finally deciding to go.
He smirked at her one last time and turned to go, but the door opened almost immediately, revealing Don.
Klaus halted his steps instantly as he stared at Don with his eyes wide open in shock.
Don stared back at him with a questioning look on his face.
