The continuous ringing of Lorenzo's phone broke a little of the tension. He picked up without checking the id caller.
"What?" He asked annoyingly.
"Sorry to disturb you sir. But She just came back from the appointment looking horrified. I think something happened." The person said from the other side.
"Horrified? Which hospital is that? And what's the doctor's name?" Lorenzo asked.
"I'll the send the information to you sir." The person from the other side said and hanged up the call. Five minutes later, Lorenzo received all the necessary information about the hospital and the doctor Nikita met.
"Ms. Santorini, we'll take our leave. Tell your boss to contact me when she comes back from the doctors appointment." Lorenzo said and stood up taking the lead. His assistant looked at Nazi and smiled awkwardly then followed suit.
Nikita got home feeling depressed and worried about how she was going to break the News to her parents and because of that she couldn't go back to the company looking all gloomy.
"Niki, you're home early. Did something happen at work today?" Her mom asked but she smiled sadly at her making her worried.
"Are you okay Niki, did something happened at work?" Her asked with pure concern which made her heart ache at how disappointed she'll look when she finds out she's pregnant.
"I'm fine mom, it's just that I was having an upset stomach so I went to the hospital and the doctor said I need to rest for a while." She said and forced a smiled then climbed the stairs up.
She fell on her bed thinking about how disappointed her mum and dad will look when they find out their precious daughter is pregnant out of wedlock. The way the neighbours will whisper about her when ever she walks about with her baby bump showing. That picture alone made her head bang and she is not going to abort it because she's afraid she might die in the process. She was still thinking of the possibilities when an idea came to her mind. She took her phone and dialed a number.
"Hello Michael, can you do me a favour? I need a flight ticket to Canada tomorrow evening. Can you help with it?" She asked hoping Michael will accept what she said.
"Okay Niki, just tell me when you'll leave." Michael said from the other side said making a smile form on her lips.
"Thank you very much, I appreciate your help." She said and hanged up. She then she dialed Amanda's number. At two rings the call was answered.
"Hi Amanda, Can you come over? There's something I want to tell you." Niki asked tolling with her hair.
"I thought you didn't wanna talk to me again." Amanda asked as a statement more than a question.
"No it's not like that. Just that there..."
"Are you in your room? I thought you've gone to work?" Amanda asked.
"No, something came up so I'm at home. Are you coming over? She asked.
"Open the door, I'm at your door." Amanda said and there was a knock on Niki's door.
"That was fast." Nikita said, stepping aside for her to enter.
"I was coming here already." She said and entered swaying her hips on Nikita. Nikita only shoot her and and closed the door.
"Girl, you look unreal. What's wrong with you?" Amanda asked taking in a piece of grapes into her mouth.
Well, I have something to tell you but promise me you won't overreact." Niki pleaded taking Amanda's hands into hers making her confused.
"The way I'll react depends on what you'll tell me." Amanda said then stuck a grape into her mouth.
"Well. I'm pregnant." Niki said and smiled nervously. The reaction she expected didn't come at the moment then.
"WHAT!? You're what? With who and how did this happened? Aren't you a virgin?" She asked, stood up and started pacing around.
"What's wrong? Did something happened?" Mrs Marcelo asked because she heard Amanda's shout from downstairs making her rush to check the girls.
"Mom, can you believe..." then she stopped at the glare Niki was giving her which meant 'if you say anything stupid she's done for.'
"What's it were you saying?" Mrs Marcelo asked.
"Oh that. I wanted to say would you believe Niki is one of the famous people is this country." Amanda said making Niki even nod her head in acceptance of the lie.
"Well, I knew my daughter was mad3 to be great so it's not something new. If that's all matters then I'll take my leave." Mrs Marcelo said about left the girls to have their time together.
Amanda booked at Niki in confusion, then realisation hit her. "Don't tell me..."
"Yeah it's..."
"Are you going to give birth to second Jesus? Cus I don't remember you having a boyfriend. And suddenly, you're telling me you're pregnant Which is not logical. It this a prank? Where are the cameras?" Amanda asked and started searching for where the cameras has been hidden.
"Amanda, this is not a prank. I'm really pregnant... from that nightstand." She said and sighed, sitting on the couch.
"Oh, yeah, the nightstand." Amanda said and also sat beside Niki. "So what are you planning on doing? Have you told your parents?" Amanda asked but Nikita only shook her head.
"It's all your fault. If you hadn't had sent me to that stupid club, this wouldn't have happened." Niki said ruffling her hair while blaming Amanda.
"Oh no. You don't get to blame me girl. I only sent you there to celebrate the contract not to jump into bed with a guy and it's not only any guy but Lorenzo Alessandro Basile? Girl, we're in deep shit." Amanda said and got up pacing in the room.
"I was planning on leaving the country." Nikita said waiting for Amanda to cool down.
"And how are you going to explain to your parents? Mom, dad I'm pregnant so I'm leaving is that what you're going to say?"Amanda said mockingly.
"I'll just tell them it's a business trip then I'll tell them everything when I reach sit that even if they get disappointed, I won't have to face them." Niki said and leaned in the couch. Amanda tried to persuade her in not going but it seems she was determined on that decision.
"It's like you've made up your mind already and I can't change it." Amanda said and sat on the couch resting her head on Nikita's shoulder. "And when are you planning to go?" Amanda asked.
"Tomorrow night."
"Tomorrow? But isn't it too soon?" Amanda asked.
"It's better to leave early than it late to go. And I know Lorenzo has done his digging in and he probably knows I was the lady from the night. And he's too dangerous for me to handle so I must leave before he does anything stupid." Nikita said and Amanda nodded in agreement.
"I'm gonna miss you." She said hugging her arms.
"Me too crazy patriot." Nikita said and Amanda gasped dramatically. Making Nikita laugh.
Meanwhile in HOPE FILLED HOSPITAL, Lorenzo was seen sitting Infront of the doctor who checked Nikita earlier and he was trembling in fear.
"Mr. Basile, here... here is the documents you asked for." The doctor said and placed the file containing Nikita's information On the table. Lorenzo took it and glanced through then suddenly his eyes widened then it came back.
"Pregnancy confirmed." He said the words like he was tasting them. " I think I did a pretty good job." He said and got up leaving the hospital. He dialed the Same number stalking Nikita.
"I want all the information about her family tomorrow." He said without waiting for the person's reply then he hanged up.
