Chapter 4

Christian made his way next to his brother while I lowered my head and had no plans of raising it, butunwouldn’t let me. “Look at me.”

Just as I remembered his voice was strong and dominant. Even if I wanted to I could not disobey him,hecontrol freak and ordered people around like it was nothing. I raised my head to look at him and wassurlook had softened. How bad did I exactly look for him to lose his stoned expression?

“And she comes here by uber too, it’s late at night and not everyone is as nice as me, squirrel. Youreallyfor yourself, right Christian?” Enzo scolded me and looked at his brother for back up. I didn’t knowthat Ifeeling even more embarrassed but yet here I was.

I made eye contact with Christian who ignored his brother but kept observing me until I looked theothehis gaze.

“Go change, I’m taking you home,” Christian ordered as if it was nothing. This was the last thing Iwantedlast person I wanted to be around. Seeing him only reminded me of the fact that I was probablypregnan“It’s fine, I can go by myself.”

Christian eyes were shooting daggers and he was obviously not impressed by me going against him.“Endangerous, it’s late, you’re sick and you look like shit.”

‘You look like shit’, for some reason when he said it, it did leave an impact.

“I don’t want to bother you and I can really replace my way back home but that for the o-“

“I will bring you, it’s an order,” Christian spoke, losing his patience. He was the last person I wanted toarinstead I just nodded my head without saying another word.

“Go get changed, I’ll be at the back.” He spoke and walked away before I could say anything else.Enzo wthought he was doing me a favor shrugged his shoulders with a proud look on his face. “You

see, now thof I can go.” He winked and walked off, leaving me alone.

Not daring to let Christian wait for too long I quickly got changed and grabbed my bag so I could makeback. He leaned against the wall while smoking a cigarette and held his phone near his ear with theotheinterrupting him I stayed back and let him finish while my curiosity couldn’t help but overhear theintensover the phone.

“It’s either you replace me or I promise you, I’ll be replaceing you but you’ll be paying me back one way oranoyou with my own bare hands!” He yelled out. I suddenly got chills throughout my body as Ireminded myof family he was in and thought it’d perhaps be for the best to run away as far as possible.

“Do you wanna know why? Because you can’t be stealing food from my fridge!” He chuckled and IinstanHe was just having a normal conversation, and here I was, thinking he was threatening to reallykill somehelp but smile when I realized that he was capable of truly interacting with others and hadanother persobesides just being cold all the time.

“Alright Vince, I’ll see you tomorrow.” Was the last sentence which had left his mouth before he hungupthrew his cigarette to the ground and got rid of the smoke. “You coming?” He casually asked andturnedwas freaking out over the fact that he knew I had been eavesdropping the entire time.

I nodded my head and followed him to his luxurious car which probably costed more than I would earniopened the door for me but before I could get in he grabbed my bare shoulder and turned me aroundaagainst his car. Even if I wanted to move I couldn’t, because I was trapped in between his legs.

“Why do you girls always dress like it’s summer.” He snickered and removed his leather jacket.Christian wleather jacket around my body and pointed his head towards the car seat, forcing me to getin. “T-thanksurprised at his actions, and stepped in.

I couldn’t help but wonder.

How did I end up in a car with the person I tried to avoid?

“Your address.” Christian said and pointed at the digital navigation system. Once again I obeyed himandaddress while he sped off. The car ride was so awkward that he had even turned on the radio toeliminatesilence.

For a second I was even considering to tell him about the possibility of me being pregnant, but afterseeavoided every single way of having to talk to me and me not even knowing for sure, it was out ofthe qu

Even three months ago, he didn’t exchange many words. That night it was the first time I had seen himfjust a few minutes and couldn’t help but to stare at him. He had something mysterious and sexy whichwand his dominance turned me on. After he caught me staring he wasted no time and dragged me bytheoffice. I remember thinking I was in trouble for staring too long, but boy was I wrong.

I knew that I was just like any other girl and that I wasn’t anything special, but knowing that none of thehad ever slept with him had definitely fed my ego, which is why it was a slap in the face when heignoredcouldn’t exactly put in words what I did expect when he could have any other girl who wasn’t astripper.“I want you to take care of yourself. I’m responsible for you so if you’re going down my fatherwill bring you.” He spoke after a while and turned down the volume of the radio. What an interestingway of tellingyou care.

“I’m fine,” I reassured him and looked down at my legs which were literally shaking. I took a deepbreathhardest to appear as healthy as possible, but even a dead person could see through me at thispoint. “I dyou lying to me.”

His words shocked me and I immediately apologized even though I didn’t intend to. Even if I waspregnanever been able to be a parent in peace. I was not one to judge but he seemed like the person

to decideto be a mother or not. These thoughts weren’t exactly helping and made me worry even morewhile makthat I wouldn’t be able to relax until I had taken a pregnancy test.

“You’re dad’s favorite, he won’t let me off the hook if something happens to you.” He tried to explainonit did was making me feel even more guilty. Lucio had always been good to me and the thing which Iworeturn was possibly an unplanned grandchild. Calm down Serena, you are not pregnant.

When we arrived in my neighborhood I felt a bit self-conscious because the chances were probablyhigh possibly wouldn’t even consider stepping foot here under any circumstances, but yet he did andhe did ihome. I looked at his face and tried to read an expression but failed to replace anything other than apoker f“You’re a hard worker, but if you don’t feel better by tomorrow stay at home and see a doctor.”Was all hmore so sounded like a way of telling me to get the hell out of his car so he could leave thisneighborhoopossible. “Thank you, and I feel fine,” I told him and got out of the car to walk to myapartment. Instead he waited till the very last second until I closed the door while I was relieved that Icould finally let out mTomorrow I would be taking a pregnancy test and get this over with.
