Chapter 44: Rebbeca's Fear to be a Mom
Rebbeca's Pov
I need to leave there fast before she sees me. It looked like Olivia knew what was going on so she walked towards the garden so that Lisa would concentrate on her. I managed to leave my hideout.
“Do I need to take this evidence to Davis now?” I said to myself. “But firstly, who is that person she was talking with over the phone? And what are they going to gain from all this, is she doing this because she knows Olivia loves Davis or this I don't know much?” I decided to wait for Olivia to come back into the house before I make any other step.
I walked to my room, locked my door and played the record I had. I looked outside the window, I saw Olivia walking back into the house.
When she climbed up the stairs she walked towards my room. “Hey, can you open the door? I need to talk to you.” she said.
I didn't hesitate to open the door for her. I closed the door immediately and she walked in.
“What was she saying over the phone call?” Olivia asked.
I didn't know how to tell her what Lisa was planning to do tonight. “Well you need to hear for yourself, I recorded everything she was saying.”
Olivia listened to every word Lisa said attentively, she wasn't surprised.
“Really?” I said.
“This is not the first time she's making a secret call, you know, I caught her on a particular night. She had noticed I was watching. She's working with Vincent and she's giving him information about the things happening in this house.” Olivia said.
I was shocked, “Vincent? I had no idea. Do you think Davis knows anything about this?”
“Nah, he doesn't, I wanted to tell him when I found out what she was up to but I thought it's best I keep it to myself for now and I think you should do the same for now.” Olivia said.
“But don't you think we need to tell Vincent now.” I said. “We have evidence already, the recordings are here.”
I decided to keep a close eye on Lisa.
After a while Davis sent for me. I knew it was about me taking him to the young guy's house who had sex with me. I quickly put on something decent before going to meet him.
We drove to the street, I couldn't tell which was his house exactly but with a second thought I did. “This is the house.” I said.
We walked into the apartment with the bodyguard following us. The bodyguard rang the doorbell but there was no response.
He did it over and over again. “And who is disturbing my peace?” the young man said grudgingly before opening the door.
“You? We've met before, right?” He said.
Davis gave him a punch on his face. He was about to run into his house but Davis held him back. “Where do you think you're going?”
Davis held the young man's collar, his grip tightened. “Why will you take advantage of my girl?” Davis said, his voice low and menacing.
The guy searched for how to escape but there was no way out, “I'm sorry.” He said.
“Really? You're sorry, yet you didn't bother to look for her and apologize properly, you just took advantage of her innocence.
I felt like slapping the young man but another part of me wanted to curl and hide from the shame he had caused me.
“You'll regret ever doing this to her.” Davis said in a harsh tone.
Davis told the bodyguard to drag him out and he was beaten. I was okay with just his getting beaten. Davis had asked me if I'm okay with that.
We drove back to Davis mansion after that. On getting out of the car. I rushed out, I was feeling dizzy and I vomited. “Hey are you okay?” Davis asked.
“Nothing serious, I'm fine.” I replied.
I got to my room only to meet Olivia. Her gaze was fixed on me. “Why that look?” I asked.
“Rebecca, you're pregnant.” She said,
“Pregnant? No way.” I shouted.
“But that's the truth, you can't run away from it. You are pregnant.” Olivia said.
“How can I be pregnant for that man, O my God, I feel hurt right now, I'm going to abort this child.” I said.
“There's no way I'm letting you do that, the child is innocent, you're keeping that baby.” Olivia said,
I rolled my eyes. Olivia doesn't understand how I feel. “You didn't know what you're saying Olivia, I'm Davis's secretary, how will I follow him around if the pregnancy begins to show huh? I need to abort this child right now.”
“Davis will understand, he won't sack you.” I said.
“He won't sack me, but he'll find someone to replace me.” I said, crying. “This Job means a lot to me, I can't be pregnant now.”
“I don't want you to make a rash decision, Rebbeca, you can keep this baby, all we need to do now is to tell Davis about it.” Olivia said,
I sighed, cleaning my tears with my palms. “What about Lisa? What do you think she will say, she will use this against me. And you need to understand that this is not just a Job I can mess with, it's a high-profile Job, I'm not his girlfriend so why do you think he'll want to take care of me?”
“He's doing that already, He followed you to see this guy who did this to you, what do you think that signifies. Davis is not just anyone, I can see this family is just like a second family to you.” Olivia held my hands, confronting me not to abort the child.
But I was scared of keeping the baby, “you shouldn't care about what people have to say about this, it's not your fault.” I muttered.
Davis knocked on my door, “Hope you're feeling better?”
I and Olivia both exchanged nervous looks. “Has he been listening to our conversation?” I said, in a low tone.
“You need to tell him.” Olivia said, squeezing my hands.
“Come in.” I said, trying to compose myself.
When he got into the room, the look on his face was like he was waiting for me to start saying what I was keeping to myself.
“I know it's hard to get over it, whatever the issue is, let me know, okay?” Davis said.
“I'm pregnant.” I managed to say, still avoiding his gaze.
“Hope you're keeping that child?” He asked.
“I was thinking of aborting the child, but Olivia here told me it's of no use.”
Davis looked at Olivia with a warm smile. Olivia smiled back at him. So Olivia, how were you able to convince her to keep the baby. I know what most would do in times like this.”
“I told her how we will happily assist her in taking care of the baby at every step. You know, she's scared of losing her Job.” Olivia said.
Davis smiled. “I said it before, you guys are just like family to me, I will do no such thing.”
I saw Lisa eavesdropping through the door, I wondered how her plan to kill Olivia was going.
