Bound to my Enemy novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Chapter 254.

The moment the convoy pulls into the supermarket parking lot, I spot Ivy immediately.

She’s standing near the entrance in oversized jeans and a pink hoodie, scrolling through her phone dramatically like she hasn’t been blowing up my messages for the past twenty minutes.

The second she sees my car, her entire face lights up.

"Oh my God!"

Before the driver even fully opens my door, Ivy is already hurrying toward Mr and she practically squeaks when I step out.

"Look at you!" she says excitedly, grabbing both my hands. "Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve seen you outside that giant prison mansion?"

Despite my nerves, I huff out a weak laugh.

"You saw me literally last week."

"That doesn’t count. You were emotionally unstable and crying."

"Fair."

She keeps rambling anyway.

"And your security is terrifying by the way. One of them looked at me like he was deciding whether to shoot me."

I glance toward the line of black SUVs surrounding the parking lot.

Honestly...Fair again.

"Ivy," I interrupt weakly. "You know I love you, but now isn’t really the time."

Her expression immediately softens.

"Right," she says quickly. "Sorry."

The anxiety comes rushing back full force immediately afterward. My stomach twists painfully while we start toward the supermarket entrance together.

Thomas steps out behind us automatically.

I stop walking and he stops too.

"I’ll come inside," he says firmly.

I shake my head instantly.

"No."

His brows pull together.

"Ma’am...."

"It’s a girl thing Thomas."

That earns the tiniest flicker of discomfort across his face and I continue quickly before he can argue.

"Trust me, you’ll be bored to death."

Thomas still looks unconvinced. His gaze shifts briefly around the parking lot before settling back on me.

"I was instructed not to leave your side."

"And technically you won’t be." I gesture toward the entrance. "You’ll literally be right outside."

He opens his mouth again but I immediately point at him.

"Thomas."

That makes Ivy snort beside me.

Thomas exhales slowly like we’re both personally stressing him out. Then he finally nods once.

"Ten minutes."

"Sure."

"That was not convincing."

I wave him off anyway before quickly pulling Ivy into the store. The second the automatic doors slide open, cold air hits my face along with the overwhelming smell of baked bread and cleaning products.

Instant regret.

My stomach rolls violently.

"Oh no," I whisper.

Ivy grabs my arm immediately.

"You okay?"

"Why does everything smell so loud?"

"That sentence alone is concerning."

I groan softly while dragging her quickly toward the pharmacy section.

My heartbeat gets worse the closer we get.

This feels unreal, Leike this is happening to somebody else, not me. Definitely not me. And I’m just watching frm the side lines.

I stop abruptly in front of the shelf lined with pregnancy tests.

There are way too many options, different brands and sizes.

Different words screaming PREGNANT in giant bold letters.

I suddenly feel dizzy again.

"Oh my God."

Ivy gently grabs a box before I can spiral further.

"Breathe sis."
