Chapter 71: Chapter 71

Troy POV

I just stared at Kiara when she didn't say anything when I told her about the results. I'm sure she didn't know she was pregnant so she reacted like this.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Troy, please don't tell this to my brother,"

I frowned. "What? Are you serious about that Kiara? Storm needs to know!" I said.

"I-I'll tell him by myself, I need time to think first,"

"Just make sure you tell him that because you can't hide it," I said.

"I have no intention of hiding this from my brother, I just don't want you to be the first person who will say it to him,"

"How about that father of that child? Shouldn't you be here with him now?" I asked.

"Don't let him know about this, please,"

"Why? Nigel needs to know about the child," I said.

"W-we broke up, I guess? "

"What? Is it true? How did that happen? I thought you two are already engaged and getting married soon," I can't believe what she is saying. I know Nigel and I know how much he loves Kiara.

"It's a long story, Troy. So please don't tell anyone about my pregnancy,"

"I respect your decision Kiara but tell your brother so that someone will take good care of you and the baby," I said.

She smiled at me. "Don't worry, I'll tell him,"

"I will give you a list of what you need especially when it comes to foods, I know you will be picky when you conceive. I will also give you vitamins that you can take. Avoid stress because that will not be good for the baby." I said.

We just talked for a while and then she said goodbye because she was going to see his brother's girlfriend. I am happy for Kiara and at the same time I feel sorry for her condition, just seeing her earlier I knew she was under a lot of stress, it was obvious from her face and body that she had lost a lot of weight.

I still can't get over what we talked about earlier, especially when she said that she and Nigel are no longer together because it's unbelievable that such a thing would happen. Since they became friends, Nigel really liked Kia until he told Storm that he was going to date her, but at first, Storm didn't want to agree, but later it became okay. So I can't believe that Nigel will just leave her.

Honestly, Kiara is an ideal woman, she is beautiful, smart, successful, and very kind. If she hadn't become Nigel's girlfriend, I would have courted her.

Beatrice POV

I'm going out now because I heard someone ring the doorbell here, I don't expect any visitors today because I'm resting and it's impossible for Storm to be because we don't have anything to talk about and another thing is that he has a lot to do at work so he's just there their house

When I looked to see who it was, I saw that it was Kiara, so I immediately opened it. "Kia, you didn't say you were going to visit here," I said and invited her to come inside.

She smiled at me. "I went to someone near here so I just stopped by,"

"Does Storm know you're here?" I  asked.

"I already texted him,"

"Sit down first, what do you want to eat? Do you want juice?" I asked.

"Anything, Bea," she felt weak so I immediately went to the kitchen to get her something to eat.

"So how are you today? I'm sorry I haven't been able to visit because I'm busy with work," I said.

"I'm fine, you don't need to apologize I understand that you have your work,"

I held her hand. "Everything that happens has a reason and I know you can overcome it. You're Alcantara, right? You're brave like our brother," I said smiling.

"I'm trying Bea because that's what's needed. I don't want to be a burden to my brother,"

"Don't think about that because your brother loves you and he won't leave you. You two will be on your side in everything because you're related by blood, it's only natural for him to worry about you or be hurt when he sees you in pain," I explained.

"We are happy, that's why I didn't expect us to get to this point. I-I didn't think that Nigel would leave me because.. because he promised me, to my  brother, and in front of my parents that h- he won't hurt me,"

"Love can hurt us, love can bring pain to us, sometimes love will break us. But those kinds of tests and pains that we experience make us stronger and braver. Promises are meant to be broken Kiara, but that doesn't mean you won't believe in the promise anymore because there are people who have a word." I said.

"I didn't know that everything would end up like this, I know for myself that I'm innocent and those photos are not me, because I didn't do it. I don't know why something like that happened. But Nigel is so unfair because he believes other people more than me. He didn't even let me explain or defend myself,"

"So what are you planning now? Storm told me what happened." I asked.

"I'm tired, I've been chasing him for the past month and all I got was pain. I must have been too desperate for what I did, I'm ashamed," she said and laughed.

"It's not because you chased him you were desperate, you loved the person so you did what you knew you could to prove it. Don't be ashamed, you should be proud of yourself because you know you didn't give up easily. And if the day comes that you are going to let go, you know in yourself that you did everything and you had a great fight even if you're alone,"  I said while holding back my tears, I don't want to cry in front of her.

"Am I Bea?" she whispered.

"You are Kiara, my brother and I are so proud of you. We know that you had a great fight." I hugged her.

"Honestly Bea, I wanted to give up not only on him but also on my life. But every time I am seeing my brother that's the time I realize that I need to fight because... Storm went through too much, he witnessed the loss of our parents and I know how painful it is for him. You know that because I was still a baby at that time so what happened didn't hurt me yet because I didn't understand anything,  but Storm? I witnessed how he suffered. I saw how he cried, I witnessed the breakdown. All his life, he lived in pain and I know he will be broken especially when he will lost me too,

"P-people call my brother a cold person, as a strict person and sometimes they think that he doesn't care about those around him. He's a brave person without them knowing that he's fragile. This pain that I went through is not even half of the pain that he went through. That's why I want to live not only for myself nor other people but for the reason that I want to live because of him, my brother,"
