????? I’m your
?
Baby’s father ?????
SEASON 2..
Episode 9 ?
At Harry’s penthouse in Seattle..
Prince Harry ???
I looked at the comb laying on my desk, I picked it up and study it, I don’t even know what I’m looking for.
Just then Mark walks in.
“Have you blacklisted that name Elena’s using?”
“Yes, your highness. She won’t be able to get a job anywhere with that name, it’s invalid now” he answered.
I nod. If she couldn’t get a job anywhere, she’ll have no choice but to come back to our restaurant.
I put the comb in a sachet and hands it to Mark.
“What should I do with this, your highness?”
“Take it to doctor Joy, he’ll know what to do” I told him.
He nods, did a little bow and left.
Humph! When I confirm that I’m her baby’s father, I’ll do all I can to get my family back.
???
Elena (Katie)???
“Katie, who’s that guy? And why did he called you his wife?” Rufus asked me again.
It’s been twenty minutes since Harry left and I’ve been trying to get him to leave, but Rufus is just too stubborn. He kept on asking about Harry.
“Rufus, it’s better you don’t know” I told him.
“Why?”
I sighed frustratingly. I don’t want him to know anything about my past, because I, myself don’t want to remember it.
I take his hand and manage to drag him outside.
“Rufus, I don’t wanna tell you. Please leave for now, I want to be alone” then I slam the door on him.
I looked at Peace who’s playing with her dollies. I slumps onto a chair and close my eyes.
Leaving Peoria, my aunt and Harry wasn’t my choice, I was forced to.
I sacrificed my happiness to make things right.
I recall what happened two years ago clearly, as if it happened just yesterday.
? FLASHBACK, TWO YEARS AGO ?
I sit on a sofa in me and Harry’s room with the pregnancy test in my hand. I’m pre.gnant!
How can I get pre.gnant at a time like this? What should I do? Should I tell Harry about it?
But what if he doesn’t believe me?
I sat there contemplating on what to do, when suddenly someone in mask came in through the window. I wanted to scream but the person showed me a gun and I kept quiet and didn’t make any sound.
He moved closer to me and removed the mask, my eyes grew wide in shock.
Stephano?
I thought he’s in locked up in the imperial prison, how did he got out?.
“You.. you.. what…”
“Shhh” he cuts my stuttering. His eyes moved to my hands and I quickly hide them behind me.
I can’t let him see the pre.gnancy test. But Stephano laughed and shake his head.
“Don’t bother hiding it, I already know about it” he said.
I looked towards the door, hoping that Harry or Mark would come in at this moment.
“My dear Elena, are you hoping that Harry will come in?” He laughed. “Get that thought off your head. That foolish husband of yours is busy searching for evidence that he won’t find”
He walks to our bed and sits on it, I watched his movement carefully, wishing he’d relax on the bed and I’ll use that opportunity to escape.
But he didn’t relax. It’s almost as if he’s reading my mind.
“Don’t even think of escaping, my spies are standing by the door. You’ll be a dead meat if you go through that door now” he told me.
And I gulped loudly.
“Elena, I know you are pregnant. Are you planning on telling Harry?”
I didn’t say a word. I just kept looking at him nervously.
“Listen, I’m gonna let you choose. Either you tell Harry about this baby and let the two of us fight for its Paternity…. And I assure you if that happens, not only will Harry lose the baby to me, he’ll also lose his life… ”
My body went stiff immediately he said that. Is he planning to use this baby as an excuse to kill Harry?
I pointed my shaky finger at him.
“You… You.. you wouldn’t dare” I try to show some bravery.
Stephano laughed loudly and stand up from the bed abruptly, he points his gun at me as he cocks the gun.
“I wouldn’t? Or maybe I should just kill the baby while it’s still in your womb now!!”
I quickly wrapped my arms around my stomach, as if it can protect my baby from Stephano’s viciousness.
“But y-you.. don’t have the right to claim this baby as yours… We didn’t have sex that night… I.. ”
“Can you prove it?” He asked and that shut me up.
“Elena, I’m a heartless monster, I don’t regard family bond or whatsoever, but you’re good and I don’t wanna put you on a tight spot. You can stay here and watch harry lose this baby to me and lose his life too, then after I become the crown prince I’ll have you watch me kill your baby… ”
I gasped loudly and the tears that I’ve been trying to hold inside start pouring out like rain.
“Or you can leave quietly. Don’t tell Harry about your baby, divorce him, and disappear from here, then my plan can go smoothly and maybe… I mean maybe I can manage to spear Harry’s life” he said.
They are both brothers, born into royalty. They both have equal rights, so why this struggle? Why all this fighting and bl©©dshed?
“That is my kindest heart speaking Elena, I’ll believe you’ll make the right choice”
How can I keep something as big as this from Harry? I wouldn’t like it if he did that to me…..
But then again, I’ll be doing this for everyone’s safety. If I tell Harry, Stephano will kill him and my baby. And also I can’t guarantee my own safety then. But if I leave everyone will be safe.
I’ve brought shame upon Harry and I don’t wanna cause more trouble. Maybe leaving is the only solution….
“I’ll leave… B-but you have to promise me that you won’t harm Harry in any way, you have to promise me that he’ll be safe”
Stephano laughed and shake his head.
“Fine, I won’t temper with his life…. ” He head towards the window, then he stops and turn back to me. “You have three hours to leave Peoria or I’ll have no choice but to kill Harry even before he finds out about that thing in your womb”
Then he jumps through the window. I released a breath I didn’t even know I was holding.
Please forgive me Harry, I don’t have a choice.
? END OF FLASHBACK ?
I feel tiny hands rubbing my cheeks, I blinked and come back to the present. Peace has climbed on my lap and wiping my tears, as she also cries.
“Mama!” I guess she’s been calling me when I was lost in my flashback and she got frightened when she got no response from me.
I cradles her gently.
“It’s alright baby, don’t cry” I pet her.
Just then my phone beep. I picked it up and see a message. I open the conversation, it’s a message from one of the restaurants I applied for a waitress vacancy.
I happily read the message, but was disappointed later.
*AMY’S eateries, dear
Katie, we are so sorry
To inform you that the
Job you applied for is
No longer available,
You should apply
Elsewhere*
I sighed weakly. Well, it’s a good thing that I applied in multiple places then, hopefully one of them will employ me.
My thoughts went back to Harry. Even after two years he still hasn’t given up on me, maybe I should just tell him the whole truth.
But what if he doesn’t believe me? Or worse what if Stephano gets to know that I told Harry the truth? Will he kill Harry?
I shake that thought from my head. I can’t imagine Harry dead, I can’t take it. It’s better I know he’s alive and I can’t be with him.
I won’t tell Harry anything….
