Chapter 50 *** Our Child! ***

[ CHAPTER THEME SONG:
Finger Crossed By Billie Eillish ]

[ THIRD PERSON'S POV ]

Startled by her sudden arrival, it took a while for Veronica and Blake to act normal on surface. Veronica stood up from the bed first, discretely unclasped her fist from Blake's tight hold and explained nervously even though she knew that Victoria wouldn't respond to anything,
" Sis..I..I was actually bandaging Brother-in-law's wound. When did you get up? Do you need something?"

Veronica tried her best to smoothen the atmosphere. She didn't want her sister to know at the very first day of their arrival that she had actually hooked up with Blake during her absence.

Victoria didn't say anything. Her eyes blankly switched between Blake and Veronica before she pursued her lips together and uttered out whiningly,
" Blake!! "

Veronica and Blake both were shocked when they heard her speaking. Blake jumped off from the bed to walk over Victoria and urged her repeatedly,
" Yes, Victoria. Speak to me! Speak to us! I am Blake and look at her.. Your younger sister, Veronica."

Victoria rested her eyes on Veronica for a while before brusting into tears quietly. Quiet sobs started to turn into whimper before breaking out into a loud howling cry. Victoria buried her head into Blake's chest before starting to blabber constantly,
" I am sorry.. Blake..I am sorry..I made you this worried but I had no options left. They didn't let me come to you. They.. they tortured me to death and caused me to loose our child. I could have been survived after falling into the ocean but they did everything to threat me. I had to obey them or else they would give me electric shock Blake."

Blake's body stiffened slightly at the mention of their child. They had no child anymore. He lost his child before he or she could come in this world. Enduring the pain inside his heart, Blake battled to act calm in front of Victoria. He couldn't become so selfish to neglect Victoria's metal condition due to his expectation of becoming a father.

Blake coaxed as he raked through her messy curls and hussed soothingly,
" Hush! Don't blame yourself, Victoria! I can understand everything. I am sorry that they aimed at you because of me."

Victoria didn't stop instead she sobbed harder as she clung onto Blake's shoulders sending countless knife in Veronica's heart who listened everything from their back. Victoria continued choking on her saliva as she sniffed her nose inside Blake's neckline,
" I feel.. sorry...for our baby...You...you wanted this child so bad but ..I couldn't save him..I am such a bad mother... Blake..."

Blake shook his head denying and pressed her more tightly against his chest before starting to explain anxiously,
" No..No.. Victoria...I know that you would be a lovely mother..I believe in you and I don't blame you an inch for loosing the child. He wasn't fated to be born in our family. That's it. I am glad that you have returned to me, to us and your family. Your father must be waiting for days to meet you."

Victoria was convinced and clamed down after Blake's words. She appeared a little calm before her focus shifted on Veronica whose eyes were teared up after hearing out Victoria's suffering in Raven Mafias Territory.

How could they kill an unborn child?

Victoria left Blake's arms and walked over to stand in front of Veronica whose gaze was emotional after finding Victoria so many days later. Victor gripped both of her arms softly and spoke between her chokes,
" I don't know what have you done, Veronica. But I saw you coming with them when I was in grief danger. I can't ask more from a sister who loves me to death. You proved it today that how loyal you are to your sister. I love you the most dearest sister."

Victoria spoke before pulling Veronica into a tight hug. Veronica hugged her back tightly as her eyes found Blake whose gaze was full of complicated emotions.

Veronica knew that he was thinking exactly the same that she was calculating inside.

How could they tell Victoria about their affair after hearing how much she suffered?

**************

" So you are dating the military boy?", Victoria teased weakly as Veronica styled her hairs. Since they were done with the procedures within a day, Asher suggested them to return as soon as possible. Some of Luther's people went missing which could be threatened for them.

Veronica rolled her eyes before combeded her hairs one last time perfectly,
" Sis!! He is just a friend. You thought too much."

Victoria teased further looking at her own reflection into the mirror,
" Hmm! I can see that how close friends you two are! He can't stop staring at you when you are around him."

Veronica pouted puffing her cheeks,
" There's nothing going on between us really."

Victoria laughed reaching out to fix her hairs since they would have to face the press as soon as they would land in B Nation,
" So you don't like him?"

Veronica stiffened at the question. She didn't actually hate Asher but she wasn't the man that she liked emotionally. Veronica stammered on her words,
" That's not true honestly. He..he is just good friend.."

Victoria turned around to face Veronica whose facial features showed that she was confused about her own decision. Victoria encouraged clasping her palms together,
" Don't be so afraid, Veronica. I can see that he is good to you. Besides, have you seen that she has done a lot for us and you! Come on, I could be a living death in Raven Mafias territory for eternity. Regarding you, the entire world would have blamed you forever to cause your sister's death. Then all your reputation, life would have ruined down within a day. Come on, Veronica! At least, he deserves a chance from you."

Veronica swallowed as her ears echoed those sweet words that Blake spoke to her on the other day. Snapping out from her bizarre emotions forcefully, she muttered in a low voice,
" I..I understand..Sis..I will try my best not to dissapoint him."

Victoria's eyes sparked in excitement as she exclaimed in joy,
" Really? I can't wait to see your love story. But here's a plan for you. Ask Asher to take his next promotion on B Nation. In that case, you both will have time to know each others."

Veronica was going to refuse but Victoria pushed the matter further, using her authorative voice of elder sister,
" I won't take any no answer from you, Veronica. You shouldn't let go of this chance! Humph! "

At the end, Veronica nodded helplessly before going outside to bring out her luggage.

*****************

Both of the sisters came down together in their matching dress. They worned long top with short leggings and appeared more likely teenage girls. Veronica chose to wear maroon whilst Victoria chose dark blue. Victoria trotted over to Blake before asking him excitedly,
" Babe, how am I looking? Look, Veronica styled my outfit today. Would I look perfect in pictures?"

Blake stared down at her for while as he commented resting his eyes on Veronica who was few steps away from them,
" You are gorgeous as always."

Victoria grinned into a wide smile and clung onto Blake's arms intimately. Asher entered into the place as Victoria urged at Veronica in eye contact.

Veronica sighed out helplessly at the nagging of her sister. Asher came to speak to Veronica with a sad smile,
" Safe Journey, Veronica."

Veronica returned a grateful smile before speaking through her hesitation,
" Aah..How about you.. take your.. next promotion on B Nation, Asher? Dad.. would be happy to have you there..."

Asher who was a little taken back by her words blurted out hopefully,
" What about you? Is that what you want too Veronica?"
