Irresistible Love novel Chapter 22

Standing before the mirror my hands roamed all over my belly trying to feel the unborn child. Even though I had a flat belly yet the thought of carrying the child built a pit of happiness in my heart as I thought about my future. If everything seem to be good, then I would wish to have a small and happy family along with Zachary. It was like a dream to have kids and to have a peaceful family. It seems the first part of my dream has been granted but the second part is still yet to happen as we have to go through all the troubles that surrounds us.

Just when I thought that I could live my life as I had always wanted, life has planned something else for me. We had to overcome all our overwhelming feelings of parenthood, only because of that Alex and that traitorous person.

"I swear to god, I would definitely make the traitor pay for all his sins," my hands balled into a tight fist as I thought about it again and again. Suddenly the temperature in the room seem to grow up and beads of sweat formed over my forehead. Even my body temperature raised up and I ended up throwing the cardigan that I was wearing. It was weird as it was cool outside but the temperature inside the room burned up.

"Juliette!" someone shrieked and I looked towards the door to find none other than Kiara herself as she ran to me and held me by my arms. A look of worry marred her face as her eyes skimmed my face before she made me sit on the bed and brought me a glass of water.

"Thank you," I whispered as I gulped down the water in a go feeling thirsty.

"What's wrong with you? You're sweating and your face is so pale. Are you feeling alright?" she asked as she took a seat beside me and I nodded.

"No, I'm alright,"

"Well, you don't seem to. What's bothering you?" she asked and that somehow made me smile as I showed her my belly encircling my arms over it.

"Are you worried about your baby?" she asked and it was when a thought about Kristian crossed my mind.

"What's up with you and Kristian?" I asked all of a sudden catching her off guard. Her eyes widened just for a second before she averted her gaze away from me and pushed the loose strands of her hair behind her ear.

"W-What do you mean? There's nothing between us," she looked nervous all of a sudden and tried her best to lie.

"Really?" I smiled as I shifted on the bed trying to look her face and she kept on facing the other side as I grew more closer to her.

"Then why are you blushing?" I asked teasing her which made her huff at me.

"What? Blushing? Who?" she stuttered and that made me laugh.

"You!" I mimicked her voice and it was when she laughed looking down at her knees.

"So? Are you two dating now?" my abrupt question seemed to affect her as she stood up and looked at me before saying "No, we are not," and then she chose to walk out of the room.

"Okay, now that was strange," I laughed out on my own comment.

The clock ticked as I looked at the umpteenth time trying to figure out where all of a sudden Zachary has vanished to. I stood near the glassdoor to the balcony just gazing at the blazing sky, no time to admire the nature's beauty as my mind was too occupied thinking about Zac. He seemed as if he was in a hurry. I was taking a shower when I heard him speaking from behind the door that he was going to somewhere and that he would be late.

He told me not to go outside and told me that some of his guards are guarding outside the door. But he didn't really tell me where he was going. The only thing that he told me was that he was going out for work and then he left. As soon as Kristian and Kiara left, Zachary went away for his work and being alone in the house I made myself some food and took a good nap for a while but then I got bored and tried calling Zachary but he never picked up.

Sighing, I thought about calling him one more last time and it was when I picked up the phone and clicked the speed dial for his number. The phone rang a few times and it was when I huffed and was about to end the call when the call got connected with someone picking it up and I was sure that it wasn't Zachary.
