Chapter 2 Pregnant

"The doctor said that it can increase the chance of pregnancy,"

Jarvis whispered in Nina's ear before getting up from the bed.

Nina nodded slowly. Her entire body was wearing out. The silk cloth which was covering her eyes had come loose at some point. However, due to the dim light of the room, she still couldn't clearly see his face.

She could only see the outline of his body, including his abdominal muscles and abs. But his facial features were still hidden from her eyes. She had touched his prominent nose and felt his soft lips on her multiple times in the past two days. After all, they had been in intimate positions and she had tasted his addictive kiss so many times.

She sensed him approaching her. She instinctively dodged his advancement, but was stopped by his surprise embrace.

"Don't be scared," he whispered while softly running his hands through her hair. Then as quickly as he did, he tightened the cloth piece around her eyes.

As expected, Nina didn't fight to stop him. She had to abide by the terms of the contract. She couldn't know who this man was.

The moment Jarvis held her in his arms, a comfortable warmth spread through his heart. His eyes fell on her red pert lips, which looked inviting.

"What should I do? I want to have sex with you again," Jarvis mumbled, while his lips grazed against her ear. His hot breath tickled her ear.

Nina couldn't object and the next moment the two of them were having sex again. Her body seemed to be plundered away by this unknown man. After their love making, he left, and she didn't have strength to stand up to take a shower.

This went on for few more nights until the most awaited day came. Nina realized she had skipped her period.

Her period had always been accurate.

She asked Lea to buy the pregnancy testing kit. As expected, the result was positive. She was both happy and disappointed.

She had sex with that man and was going to have his child. For an instant, she had almost forgotten that he was nothing more than her buyer. She couldn't develop feelings for him.

When Lea learned the news from her and congratulated her, she knew that her time in the villa was about to end.

He returned to her room at night while she was still blindfolded.

He didn't waste any time and started unbuttoning her shirt after placing a quick kiss on her lips.

"I'm pregnant," Nina blurted quickly.

Jarvis' hands froze once she said so. His gaze shifted and fell on the pregnancy test stick sitting on the bedside table. He could see the two bright red marks on it.

"That's great. Congratulations," Jarvis said, but his tone was more disappointed than an excited one.

"Congratulations to you too," Nina replied.

Jarvis straightened and stared at Nina. He had an impulse to remove her blindfold right now, but he refrained his urge.

"I will ask Lea to take good care of you. Thank you for your hard work in the past month," Jarvis said. "You can continue to live here. I'll help you with the school matters."

Nina nodded.

Jarvis didn't know why he was talking to her so much today. He was a man of fewer words, but today he couldn't hold himself back.

There was an intense fear in him that he would fall in love with her.

In these past few days she had affected his life so much. It was like she already knew him from before.

No, it was impossible. He only needed a child, and there was a bigger plan waiting for him to realize. He couldn't be dragged down by anyone!

Jarvis collected his emotions together and decided to leave.

"Take good care of yourself and the baby. If you need anything, ask Lea anytime. Don't hesitate," Jarvis said.

"Will we meet again?" Nina didn't know why she asked such a silly question all of a sudden.

After a short pause, Jarvis answered, "No." Then he strode out of the room.

Nina sat their slightly embarrassed. What was she even thinking? She didn't even know his name, nor did she see his face. Even if they met again, how would she recognize him?

Nina convinced herself that it must be the hormonal imbalance caused by her pregnancy that made her emotions go haywire.

After that day, eight months went by.

Meantime, Nina had visited her brother in the hospital quite a few times during her pregnancy. Her brother still needed a ventilator, but his comatose situation had improved now. When she consulted the doctor, he assured her that her brother was recovering steadily.

Time went by and her labor day arrived. On her labor day, she secretly went upstairs to see her brother. The person whose baby she was carrying, didn't know about her brother, nor did he know that her brother was in this hospital. Nina didn't want to tell him.

She saw her brother lying in the bed while holding the book, The Little Prince, which she had given him.

She peeked through the ICU watch glass, then looked down at her belly.

After she got pregnant, she almost had been isolated from the world. Her best friend, Nancy, had told her several times that she wanted to meet her, but Nina had refused her every time. She didn't tell anyone her whereabouts, including her brother.

"Nina, what are you doing here?" A voice interrupted Nina's solitude. Nina looked up and found Gavin Xia, Nancy's cousin.

"Gavin, you..." Nina felt flustered getting caught by him. "Could you please not tell Nancy and my brother about me getting pregnant? They don't know."

Gavin Xia frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"I..." Nina didn't know how to explain all of this, so she did the only thing she could think of at the moment. She turned around and ran away from there. But while hurrying down the stairs, she tripped unfortunately and fell down.
