Back at Ella's house, Diego and Jordan were trying their best to convince her not to opt for an abortion. Look your boyfriend is ready to be there for you, he should be the one complaining but his not,Ella please rethink your decision, Jordan said. You guys don't get it, it's not about that, it's about how am going to feel about it this, she replied. The phone rings and she goes to pick it up with an okay mom she hangs up the call. That's my mom and she is coming back tomorrow, she announced. I wonder why she's coming all of a sudden, Diego questioned. Maybe she is done with her business but Ella will you tell your mom about this, Jordan said. Of course not how am l supposed to tell her, emmm mom, l was raped at a party and now I'm pregnant. My life is a total mess right now, she replied frustrated. We will get through this,she assured .

Christian reaches for his phone deliberating weather or not to make the call finally after what seems like some minutes he gets a call from his parents. Just what l was thinking, how great, he thought sarcastically. Hey baby boy how have you been his mom asked. Mom, l just messed up big time,he responded. Don't tell me you got an F in one of your subjects, his dad chipped in. No dad, it's worse than that, I just got someone pregnant, he informed them. Woah son, when did you get a girlfriend and you didn't tell us about it, she accused. Mom, this is so much complicated than you think, he replied. Really how complicated can getting a girl pregnant be, his father butted in. Dad it's just that she is not my girlfriend, he elaborated. What you had a one night stand, she asked. Mom, the thing is she is my friend and am in love with her but she has a boyfriend, l'm sorry but I invited her over to a party and had my way with her, she's pregnant but wants to get rid of it,he told them. Christian Torralba that was so wrong of you, why did you do that? You have broken that girl, but what is done is done but we need to remedy the situation, now what do you want us to do but you know getting rid of the pregnancy is out of options, she replied all together. I think they should get married, this will fix this, his dad suggested. But dad we are too young for that and also she has a boyfriend who won't mind keeping this a secret and marrying her of necessary, Chris said. No way am l going to let you pass your responsibility to someone else, you have to do this and it's final, she replied. But mom, l can still be there for her , before he could continue his protest the call was hanged up. He received a text from his mom asking details about Ella.

Honey can you get Fabian to get the parental details, Christian's mom suggested to his dad. What is that for he asked. To tell them about the marriage are it's happening. Mr Nick calls Fabian, their private detective and about hours later, Ella's details were sent over. Dear her mother is her only surving parent, dad died in an accident, he's said after reading the document sent over. That's bad but you know we don't have time to grief over this, she picks up the file and dials Miss Cynthia's number which she picks up. Hello am Mrs Anna Torralba, am so sorry we had to meet under this circumstances,she said almost immediately.
After telling Ella's mom the situation and having her agree to get both the children married immediately after they were done with their final exams. Dear don't you think this is wrong and we are been too hasty, he asked. And why is that, she said.l know am the one that brought this up but don't you think the girl in question, he got interrupted by Anna. I know but we can't afford the leisure of this imagine if people heard about this our name will be dragged in the mud and l can't live with that we have to do what is needed.

The next day, Ella is seated with her mother in their living room and her mother drops the news about her marriage to Christian due to what happened, Ella stands up looking at her mother with disbelief about what her mother just said. Mom if this was because l said LL was thinking about getting rid of it is the reason you are doing this then l won't do it anymore . More over, Diego doesn't mind, Ella tried convincing her mom. Ella, that's not what this is about, it's what's best for you and the child you don't want the child growing up with lies. What's best for me, did you ask me what l wanted you always seem to know what's best for me without even asking whether l want it or not, she yelled. Baby girl l know you are hurting right now but we don't have a choice, her mother told her. Who said we don't have a choice, mom l prefer Diego to Christian a thousand times , she said. I know you love Diego and he's a good person for supporting you and wanting to do this, but Christian's parents don't want the child growing away from them, Cynthia explained. And why does their opinion matter and so what if they are Christian's parents they are not mine and they can't be making decisions for me, l'm so fed up and tired of all this bullshit, she said running back into her room leaving her mom in saddnes shaking her head am so sorry that you have to go through this Ella l really wish there was another way to go about this, Cynthia said after she left.
