Santiago's Pov continues
“Can I please have just five minutes of your time Alpha Adrian? Five, just five that's all I need.” She lets out, her gaze drifting to me for a second before they rest on Adrian.
I don't know why her tone is sounding a tad bit professional. But she can't convince me she doesn't want Adrian, she has wanted Adrian since we were in junior high. The fact that she's a few days older than him has never bothered her or him, before Camilla came into his life, Adrian's preference with women was 'female' that was his type.
Adrian looks at his watch before he does her and sighs. “Fine, you have four minutes left. Be quick, I'm running late for my meeting.”
Yeah, there is no emergency meeting and Angel can tell he's lying judging by the way she cocks an eyebrow at him.
“Just say what you want to, Santiago is staying.” Adrian says, glimpsing at me but I shrug. I don't know what she could possibly want but whatever it is, he wants me to stay and hear it.
“I know, I didn't say he should leave.” She whispers, “But I don't know how to say it so..” She pauses to take a deep breath, extending the envelope forward. “here.” She says, shaking the envelope a little or is her hand jittery?
Adrian looks at me and I lean against my car with a sigh, this will surely take some time. He takes a few steps forward and snatches the envelope from Angel. I scan the area for Camilla or the girls, none of them are around and thank God because this would get Adrian in trouble as well as me.
Adrian skims through the papers Angel handed him and he turns to her, “What the fuck is this?”
“I'm pregnant and it's yours.” She says, crossing her arms over her chest with a grin.
I jerk away from the car, studying her intensely but not as much as Adrian. This explains why she smells different but it doesn't necessarily mean that Adrian is the father, I mean this woman will do anything just to have Adrian back, but I didn't think she'd go as far as pinning a baby on him. Or did he..
I glare at him and he snorts, “Don't look at me like that, the only babies I relinquished are the ones in Camilla's throat and in her cunt.” He says to me turning back to Angel, “Angel congratulations but I don't have time to play your little games. I haven't laid a finger on you in months so go and find whoever was fucking you and here is a hint, it's not me.” He says tossing the papers at her in a fit of fury.
“Have you checked the papers correctly, I'm thirteen weeks pregnant and let me do the math for you...”
“I know the math Angel.” Adrian snaps, glaring at her intensely. “Weren't you on the pill?”
“I was but don't act stupid, you know exactly what the tests say. I've had an ultrasound and blood tests done so if you think I'm making this baby up, let's go to a doctor.” She counters.
Oh my God, he can't be serious. Why was he having sex with Angel without any taking proper precautions? Even with Camilla, he takes the necessary precautions. I've had to get them a spermatocide twice, which is more than enough times for my liking. So why wasn't he cautious with Angel?
“Are you sure it's his?” I ask.
Angel looks at me as if I slapped her, “Don't Santiago.” She snaps, flickering her gaze to Adrian. “So, what are you going to do about it Adrian, are you going to tell our luna or should I?”
“Hey, hey. Don't even think about it, stay away from Camilla.” Adrian and I say in unison. I'm serious about what I said, Angel needs to leave Adrian and Camilla alone and if she is pregnant, she should leave that topic between them. Lord knows I hope that's not true. Camilla is like my little sister, I won't hesitate to punch the shit out of Adrian for her sake.
“I swear to the Moon goddess if you dare say anything to Camilla, I will ruin your life Angel so I suggest you watch what you say and do around her because I will forget about you possibly carrying my child I will rip you into tiny pieces.” Adrian warns. It doesn't sound like a threat, it is more of a promise and he will conform to it no matter what.
Angel nods, all color drained from my face. “Just get in the fucking car.” Adrian snaps.
My car?
I narrowed my eyebrows at Adrian, “My car?” I ask him, “No, because out of all my cars, this is Camilla's favorite and I don't want her smelling your slut of a baby mama in here when she rides with me.”
“Santiago!”
“Ugh, Fine.” I snarl, “Let's go.”
****
I sit in the waiting room, scrolling through my phone aimlessly as I wait for Adrian and Angel to return. To the lady sitting across me, I'm probably on social media or playing a game on my phone, but in reality, I'm focused on something else. I'm trying to see how things will go from here onwards, Angel's child would get every right as his first child and overshadow Camilla and his child.
Looking at it from a previously scorned woman's point of view, that child is a reminder Adrian cheated but to Angel, it's a reminder that she and Adrian shared something special.
Adrian won't ask her to get an abortion and she won't suggest it, she's happy to have a baby with him knowing full well that's all they'll ever have between them. Angel wants to be connected to Adrian forever but child or no child, she would be his friend, if only she got her head out his ass and focused on more pressing matters, like how much harm she has caused his union with his mate.
The ride here was very quiet, well on Adrian's part it was. He was presumably contemplating the follow up decisions after this. On our way here, he called Jeremiah, a biomedical research doctor who happens to work here. Jeremiah said he can get a DNA test with accurate results in three hours time.
I don't see the need for one when he could very easily smell her, pregnant women smell different compared to the normal scent and their mate can normally smell his offspring on her. I'm sure Adrian can smell his progeny on her but part of him wishes for it to be untrue, hence the DNA test.
Angel wasn't so quiet, she spoke on the phone half the way here. Most of her conversations were with Liliana, her confederate in everything she does. Wait, Camilla was with Ciara earlier, does Ciara know? If she knows she probably told Camilla, is that why she went upstairs without bringing Adrian the glass of water he had asked her for?
So many thoughts are running through my mind but all I can do is hope Camilla finds out from Adrian first, it's the right thing for him to do. She must hear it from him before Angel decides to throw it in her face despite Adrian's warning.
Angel's voice breaks through my thoughts, the sound irritating me because now that she's pregnant, she will throw it in everyone's face and most likely make our lives complicated with this pregnancy.
Scratch that, our lives are already complicated, they could only get worse from here and she has the potential to make that happen. I can't put anything past her, Angel has nothing humble about her and being pregnant with Adrian's baby is a sure boost to her ego.
I pocket my phone and turn my face in the direction of Angel and Adrian, she's hot on his trail, mumbling nonsense and playing the prey she will never be. “You can't act like this is my fault.” She sobs, following Adrian as he walks in my direction silently.
Angel is trying to act like she wasn't hopping on his dick every chance, he might not think anything of it but I'm certain she planned this baby and it's entire life before it came to exist. Nevertheless, I say nothing to him, he is angry and conceivably confused with a little bit of shock. I understand how he might feel, we were supposed to go to the hotel but we're here, getting a DNA and scan for a child he didn't know existed until nearly two hours ago.
Michelle is standing at her office door, ushering in the next patient. Adrian and Angel were getting an ultrasound done by her, she looked equally shocked as I did when Angel said she was pregnant.
