The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 4

Anna's POV

"Who the hell did you have sex with, Anna?" My mother yells at me the moment we enter the house.

Pamela dropped us off at home after the silence that ensued immediately after the doctor announced the news. The silence lingered till we got home.

I bite my lower lip in silence. I am filled with regrets. I don't know what to say to my mother.

How can I be pregnant for three months without knowing? I ask myself.

I know my mother is highly disappointed in me.

"Aren't you going to answer me, you loose girl?"

"Mom, I'm not loose." I retort in anger. "Why the hell will you call me a loose girl when you don't even know how I got pregnant?"

"Then talk. Your silence is killing me. How will you cope with this shit and your academics? Is this how I trained you up? Why the hell do you like tormenting me?"

"Mom......"

"Don't call me. Just tell me who the hell pumped his seed into you, you naive girl."

I sigh. I don't even know what to tell her.

How can I tell my mom I don't know him by name? How do I tell her I only know the motherfucker by face?

I'm fucked up, I thought to myself.

My mother gasp all of a sudden, as if she remembered something. We are in the living room which contains two sofas, a TV set, and a center table. It is a little home that has kept us secured for years. It is also a reminder of how poor my mother is compared to my friend, Pamela who owns her own car.

"Anna", my mother raise her head up, pointing her index finger at me. "Cameron left three months ago, right?"

I know what she is talking about immediately and I shake my head. My mother is thinking the baby is Cameron's.

"It's not what you are thinking, mom. Cameron and I have been drifting apart three months before we broke up."

Mom heaves a sigh of relief as she slumps to the nearest sofa. She hates Cameron with passion and was against the relationship between us. When we broke up, she was happy and relieved.

"Who the hell impregnated you then?" Her voice is down. "You started dating again before you broke up?"

"No, mom", I reply calmly.

"Then what happened?"

"The night after we broke up, remember Pam and I went to a party?"

"And you were raped?" She assumes.

"No, mom. It was a consensus between us. I did it because I felt Cameron will get to know and he will feel bad about it. I did it because I wanted to spite him, I wanted him to know other men find me attractive....."

"And you foolishly had sex with some man?" She interrupts me with a shout.

I remain silent. "And you couldn't even think of taking some pills after the goddamn sex?" Her voice is shaking.

"Mom?"

"Don't call me. Do you know the kind of shit we are in now? How do you want us to take care of this fucking pregnancy of yours? Tell me!"

"I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean for this to happen", I say and begin to sob silently.

My mother exhales deeply and relaxes her back on the sofa. She is thinking of the way out.

"Who is this goddamn man?" She finally asks.
