Chapter 74: Chapter 74

Kiara POV

It's afternoon and I just woke up, because I slept again earlier after eating lunch and now it's five o'clock. It's been three days since I found out I'm pregnant, I've been thinking about it and it's necessary to tell Nigel about the baby. I know he doesn't want to see me anymore but I will try again one last time for the child, I promise to myself that if he doesn't accept it I will stop.

I looked at the door when it opened and my smiling brother entered. "Did you just wake up?" he asked me

I nodded as he walked towards me. "How are you?" He asked.

"I'm fine brother," I answered weakly.

"Ki, I know you have a problem and you're not okay but please, get yourself back. This is not Princess Kiara I know,"

I bowed down because of what my brother said, it's been a month since I stopped going to the store, I've always been locked up here at home. I have seen my face in the mirror several times and I can already tell how much I have changed. I feel like it's just a little bit more and I'm going to be depressed if the pain I feel increases.

"I'm so stressed brother, I don't know what to do. I'm so drained because of what is happening in my life. I don't deserve this pain but I can't stop not feeling pain." I said.

"You're human Kiara, that's why you feel pain, you're not a robot that has no feelings. I know what you feel, I've been there. Always remember that I'm here, I understand your pain." My brother said that and I started to cry. I don't know why I cried so much, maybe it's because I'm pregnant so it's the hormones.

"I can't rush you but please, don't neglect yourself. You're important to me Kiara. Look at yourself now, you're a different person. Eat at the right time and don't lock yourself up here at home, you can go out to get some air, if you want to unwind you can have your vacation,"

"When I think about it brother, just give me some time," I answered him.

"I bought you your favorite cookies." He said smiling.

"Really?" I exclaimed enthusiastically.

"Yep, It's in the ref. if you want to eat,"

I smiled at him. "Brother, I'll be out later," I said.

He looked at me. "Where are you going? Don't tell me you're going to see Nigel again?"

I shook my head. "I will go, my friend." I know it's wrong to lie to my brother but he can't know that I'm going to talk to Nigel because I'm sure he won't agree, but I promised myself that this would be the last time. I would do it not for myself but for my child.

"Be sure Kiara."

"Don't worry brother," I said and he nodded.

He also said goodbye because he was going to take a shower, while I went straight to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready. Maybe I'll catch up with Nigel at the condo when I go at night.

When I took off my clothes, I looked in the mirror and checked to see if my face looked good. I lost a lot of weight, but I didn't lose weight completely. It's obvious that I'm awake and tired on my face, the size of my eye bags, and my eyes are also swollen from crying. It took me a few minutes before I finally took a shower.

Nigel POV

I was just here in my condo because I just came from the office, I immediately got wine from the kitchen and then drank it. I've been getting drunk for a few days since the last conversation between me and Kiara. I'm hurt but I'm hurt more every time I remember her face crying because of me. I can't accept that the two of us will be destroyed because I love her so much, I'm sure my parents will be angry when they find out that I hurt Kiara.

"Oh! Alcoholic drinks again!" I looked at the person who had just entered and saw my cousin.

"What do you need?" I asked her.

"I just went to visit a friend of mine and since your condo is nearby, I stopped by for a while. I brought your favorite so you can eat well, not the alcohol you're throwing away. I'm going to report you to Aunt Calliyah,"

I just sighed and didn't speak anymore. She is often here to visit me even though I told her several times that she doesn't need to do that because I'm fine and I can handle it.

"Nig, if you miss her then go and talk to her,"

"For what? I already hurt her, I've told her everything and I can't take it back. She should stay away from me rather than hurting her even more. I'm still in pain and I'm not yet ready." I said.

"But you already told her that she is no longer your fiance!"

"I know! I won't forget that! That's all I know to make her stop coming near me. We'll only hurt each other more." I said.

"You're a grown-up Nig, you know what's right from wrong. I respect your decision and I hope you don't regret it in the end. Take a rest, you need it. You look like a zombie,"

"Even if I don't sleep for a few days, my handsome face won't diminish," I said.

"Arrogance at its finest!" she shouted at me and stood up. "I'm leaving, fix yourself, Nigel. Don't kill yourself, will you? I don't want to bury an ugly cousin,"

"JI knows you'll cry when I'm gone, that's how much you love me," I said.

"Sometimes I want to tell Kiara that she fell in love wrong, you're the only ugly one in our family!"

I just laughed at what she said until she left. I just continued drinking because I had nothing to do.
