Irresistible Love novel Chapter 20

Zachary Pov

"Congratulations. She is going to be a mother,"

The doctor's words kept on echoing in my mind and I could feel a pit of happiness evolving inside my chest as I thought about it again and again. Juliette made me the most happiest man in the whole world. From the day, she came into my life, she has brought only happiness for me which I really feel grateful off but then this news is just above all the happiness.

I am soon going to be a father. A father.

Whenever I utter the word 'father' it makes me feel something new. Earlier, it was just a word for me but now it's going to be a title for me. I am a father now.

I watched as she slept soundly holding her belly and her other hand resting over mine. She was ecstatic when she heard the news but then she was tired and felt nauseous and I thought it would be better for her if she rested for a while before I had to leave her back to that apartment. Thinking of that, makes me feel restless. I can't send her back to him. Not when she is pregnant and seeing the stunt that she pulled yesterday, that makes me feel even more worried.

What if she does that again when I'm not around?

Just the thought of it gave me chills. I couldn't take any risk now. Not when she is in this state. I just can't let anything happen to both of them.

Taking a deep breath I closed my eyes for a minute and then decided it for the betterment of Juliette. This should end. And then called the person who has been working his ass off remaining in the shadows.

"Willi,"

"Yes, before you say something I have a news," he said and that got my attention.

"Found ya' stabber," he laughed venomously and that cracked a smile on my face in triumphant.

"You sure?" I asked wanting to make sure if he actually found the traitor but I knew that he must have found him or her because he never fails in his work.

He chuckled in response and cleared his throat before replying "I'm sure you have had your plans ready to torture the traitor but let me warn you something you wouldn't like who it is," he said and I just scoffed in return.

"I am sure its Ga-"

"Ah! Ah! No! He is not the one .... he said and that had me all confused.

"What?"

"Then who is it that is has become the enemy of Juliette and had tried to kill her and get me? I was thinking Gale is the only one who has always wanted to hurt me but then wh-" I said but stopped mid sentence realising something.

"Don't tell me...."

"I think you have got it..." he chuckled and I had my hand over my head in frustration.

"Just no! Just no!" I groaned balling my fist angrily.

"Unfortunately....Yes. And the person is...."

Sitting next to Juliette I watched her sleep soundly unaware of the world that is after her. I have promised her that I would protect her from every pain and sufferings but here I am, sitting next to her cursing our fate for giving us so much of trouble to endure. The people whom we had doubts has no hand in anything that has been happening to us.

But the question is why and what made that person to fall this cheap?

Now, what am I going to tell Juliette when she asks me about the traitor?

I don't have any intention of lying to her but then I don't want to give her any more stress than she really is.

"Damn it!" a curse escaped my mouth when I kept thinking about it repeatedly.

"Is everything alright?" I heard her soft voice from my side as I kept on glancing outside the window trying as hard as I could to avoid her gaze and helping my own self from getting caught.

"What do you mean?" I asked still not looking at her as I fished the phone out of my jacket and scrolled through the screen acting busy even though I had nothing to do with it at the moment.

It was best if I try to avoid it till the very end and wait for the right time and place. Currently, we were in a situation where we were just surrounded by a vast sea of problems and I had no intention of exploring anything new when I had so much in my pocket. We had to deal with Alex, I have to keep Juliette safe from Alex, I have to find Alex's motives for doing all this, Juliette has to face and act as Ivona, Juliette is pregnant and someone from our family had tried to stab me in my back and attempted to kill Juliette.
