chapter 1

VIVIEN'S POV

One week. I also went back and forth to Lucas' office for a week. He tried to accept me and our future child but I was disappointed.

In that one week, at least once I wanted to hear from his lips that he accepted my baby but then I just looked like a s*ng*.

He repeatedly humiliated me and pushed me away that makes my heart broke into pieces. Once his daddy was there while they were talking about what I saw, but he immediately rejected me and said I was crazy in front of his father.

I was totally shocked. Is he doing this to me? I don't know the reason why he just dumped me all of a sudden. I don't know my fault and he kept on insisting that this is his brother's son.

Is he crazy? Yes, sometimes I hang out with his older brother because we are friends, but Jake and I have never come between us. We don't even do things as he thinks.

"Why aren't you eating?" Jake asked me calmly. I know he is worried about me these past few days. I sighed and shook my head. Im okay, I'm trying to ease myself.

"I'm full." I answered boldly. I even saw his eyebrows rise. He doesn't believe.

"Yesterday you said you were full even though you weren't."

I don't know but I don't feel like it. Maybe it's because of what I went through earlier.

I'm at the condo with Jake, Lucas' older brother, whom he accused of being the father of my child. Jake picks me up from my apartment every day so he can keep an eye on me. I can't do anything if I object. He knows best so I'm comfortable with him.

"By the way byeb. I'm leaving my schedule early today with my client." I just nodded and then smiled at him fakely.

"Any requests or food cravings?" That's when my smile brightened. Last night I was craving raw mangoes. I tried to buy yesterday but I couldn't find anyone selling mangoes.

"Can you bring me a mango later?" I love him tenderly. He smiled at me then kissed my forehead just as the door opened and the person with no expression on his face spat out. It looked at us intently then immediately turned away.

"Lucas, what brings you here?" Jake asked Lucas who was now sitting on the sofa in the living room. It's like the owner of my condo can rent.

"I just visited your unit. Ya know it's kinda boring in my place." He spoke kindly to his brother. It even made me laugh when I looked at it.

"So, I see. Are you going live? Is it a wedding? Don't forget to invite me!" The way he talks is sarcastic.

What is the problem with this and suddenly appearing? Is he out of his mind?

"You're thinking wrong Lucas." Jake said now sitting facing his brother.

"Naks! Why don't you marry that Vivien. She's totally desperate and most of all you're the father of the one she's carrying."

At this point, I was holding back tears from rolling down my cheeks. I can't bear to listen to the hurtful words coming out of his mouth. My hands are shaking and at the same time cold. I don't know what to say. I don't want to overreact.

What's going on with you Lucas? Why are you suddenly like this? We were fine the last few weeks.

"Are you out of your mind?!" I was surprised by the sudden rise in Jake's voice. He looked at Lucas angrily. While Lucas has the guts to raise his eyebrows at his brother. "You really think that something happened with Vivien. F*ck Lucas, he's like my brother!" That's when I burst into tears. I am crying and now my chest is tight again.

"Yes. I am out of my mind. Then who cares?" He stood up and walked out the door. Before it left, it turned towards me.

"You know what. Your a wh*re!" Jake was about to punch him when I stopped him.

"W-don't Jake, let him!" My voice cracked. I am so hopeless. I just want to sleep and never want to wake up.

"If you don't want the baby. Then don't make me responsible. I can raise it alone. Without you! I can manage my self. I'm not a kid anymore."

"Really, huh? Then, good!" It finally came out of Jake's unit which reassured me.

Jake immediately hugged me while rubbing my back. I'm tired, I want to rest.

"I'm going home!" I only said. I can't look at him properly. I'm ashamed. Because of me, the brothers still quarreled. I hate my self because of my current situation. Remembering those words from him made me cry even more.

"You know what! Your a wh*re!"

Does he really think of me as a flirt? Why is he torturing me like this? I don't like this. He hates me so much and I don't know the reasons.

"I'll take you!" Jake presented to me. I would have said no, but he grabbed my hand and headed to his car. I was floating during the flight. I have so many questions in my mind that I want answered.

Why is Lucas acting like that?

He didn't like that before.

I'm not used to it!
