483-Ah! She Is Pregnant.
âI cannot believe you did this to your fated mate. You knew my bond with you was fake because,
obviously, Christina had told you. Then why didnât you come clean to me and accept Valerie?â I was
yammering and arguing with Lazio over the past few minutes.
âI didnât want to.â He didnât even have a valid reason to argue over.
âI would have understood why you didnât want to if you were still in love with me and treating me well.
But you were happily spending time with Valerie, so why didnât you just accept the fact that this is how it
is meant to be and reject me? instead of keeping me along and making me suffer?1â I growled at him.
There were only three of us left in the living room.
The others thought we should resolve this matter in private now. Valerie hadnât said much. In fact, she
just stood in her spot with her head down. Now I realize why she used to be so jealous and angry with
me.
âEnya! I didnât stop loving you. I just had a lot of things going on in my head at that time. I was
manipulated by Christina, and all the evidence against you made me drive away from you.â he yelled
back at me, refusing to accept any scenario where rejecting me was the best option for him.
âLazio! do you even realize you didnât only hurt me in those two years but made her look like a slutty
mistress as well?â I groaned at him, feeling sort of bad for Valerie. For a girl who had been keeping
herself safe for Lazio, when she found out they were mates, she didnât want to look away from it. She
was too happy to back down.
âAnd the fact that you are already over her is even sadder.â I yelled at him and pushed him back.
âI donât know what to say.â I just feel like I was never over you. I made those mistakes in anger. I donât
even know what I did in those two years. As every day spent without loving you is meaningless now.â
Lazio said, without fearing the tears of Valerie. She closed her eyes and sniffled when she heard her
fated mate express his undying love forme.
âLazio! have some sense. You are saying all that in front of her. I donât even think you are capable of
loving anyone at this moment. Look at her. She gave up two years of her life for you. She knew she
would look like a bad guy, yet she went along with the plan.â I was in the middle of talking when I felt
like she wanted to add something, so I shut up.
âYou kept reminding me that we are only chosen mates. And I didnât want to upset you, so at one point,
even I thought maybe we were only chosen mates.â She murmured to Lazio, watching him with
complaint-filled eyes. I get it. Whatever you two are saying is not wrong, but what do I do? I am dying
inside me. I feel like ripping my head out of my neck to ruin things with Enya. I donât know what my life
will be without her.â Lazio muttered, glaring at us for not understanding his feelings.
âWhen I saw you with Theo today, I felt like running over anything that comes my way and snatching
you away from him. I am losing my shit, wondering very soon you will mark him and reject me,â Lazio
aggressively talked, glaring at us and expressing his frustration.
I no longer knew what to say to him because everytime I mentioned anything that touched on how we
shouldnât be together anymore, he would lose his shit.
âWhat about me then? It is not easy for me to stand here and listen to you talk about her with so much
love and compassion and ignore me at the same time. Donât you think you should carry an ounce of
guilt for leading me on for two years, saying you donât feel anything for her and soon we will be
together?â Valerie had enough of Lazioâs bullshit. I was glad that she spoke up. He was totally ignoring
her feelings, not even considering her emotions to be anything, and how she was openly expressing
her love for him.
After watching her question, Lazio faced her and nodded. I could already tell he wasnât in the mood to
accept her into his life anytime soon, even he was marked by him now.
âYou want to know my answerâ,â Lazio said, looking deeply into his eyes.
âLazio! donât do anything stupid,â I instantly got in between the two and stopped him from taking a step
that would make him lose his fated mate.
âAny stupid? My stupidity was when I cheated on you, and I am regretting it like anything. I cannot
continue my relationship with herâ,â Lazio yelled, making Valerie gasp behind me.
No! donâ,â I argued with him when I stepped back and accidentally bumped into Valerie and knocked
her purse down. I am so sorrâ,â I paused, watching the thing that she tossed out of her purse. She
hesitantly knelt down to grab it and hide it again, but my sharp eyes have already caught it.
âWhat is that?â I asked her while she shoved her hand in the purse, still holding that thing. She
straightened her back and shook her head at me. Nothâ,â she gulped.
âThat was a pregnancy test, wasnât it?â I asked, and her eyes traveled to Lazio behind me in worry.
âWhat?â Lazio gasped, running from behind me and approaching her. âVai! Are you preg ânant?â He
inquired, his breathing loudly. I am,â Valerie gave up and told us the truth, âI found out in the morning,
which is why I wanted to speak to you.â She had tears streaming down her eyes because I believe she
didnât expect him to be so easily over her.
Now she was pregnant and had heard her mate express how he doesnât even feel the same for her.
