Lyra Hades
My phone buzzed barely five minutes after I woke up, and I checked to see that it was a reminder to resume work, but I knew it wasn’t something I could do, especially as I was no longer close to the place and I was also heavily pregnant.
Tm sorry, but I would have to decline the offer. Thank you!
I tossed my phone on the bed and yawned tiredly before leaving the bed to the bathroom
After about ten minutes of being in the bathroom. I went back inside the room, only to be welcomed by a knock on my door. I rolled my eyes. thinking it was Enzo until the knock came on again and I realised that it was Claudia.
“Good morning, malam.” Her bright smile welcomed me as I opened the door wide for her, and I nodded
“Good morning Is there any problem!” I asked as I was confused as to why she would show up this early at my doorstep
“Did I disturb your sleep, ma’am?” she gasped, her eyes narrowing
“No, you didn’1” I shook my head, and she sighed probably in relief.
“I came to prepare your bath water. Do you mind if I come inside?” She asked politely, and I muttered an ‘oh‘. leaving the door wide open for her to walk inside, and she did
I waited for her in the room while she went to p
prepare my bath water which took her just a few minutes before she walked back inside the room.
“I’m done now What would you like to have for breakfast!” She stood in front of me, smiling politely.
“Scrambled eggs” I replied to her, and she raised her eyebrows.
“Is that all! You don’t want anything else? Will that serve you, ma’am?”
I smiled at her, glad that she was concerned about me as I nodded and said. “Yes. That is what I want for now. I will let you know later if I want something else”
“Alright, ma’am. Coming right up” She bowed before leaving, and I let out a sigh.
After I made sure that the door was locked, I went inside the bathroom to bathe, and after about an hour of being in the bathroom, I finally headed back into the room.
I was just done getting dressed when a knock came on the door. Thinking it was Claudia, I advanced toward the door with a smile on my face, but my smiles only lasted until I was welcomed by Enzo’s disgusting face
“Good morning Did you sleep well?” He looked at me softly but didn’t smile,
“Hmm. I’m busy” I told him before slamming the door hard on his face. You won’t think that I was being m
mean to him, right? For fuck’s sake, this was the same man who cheated on the severally with Amber, and got her pregnant. Who knows, maybe she is the reason he didn’t bring me to the packhouse but here instead. He probably didn’t want to hurt her feelings
“Lyra. ” his knock and disgusting voice made my skin crawl, and since he wouldn’t stop banging on the door like the crazy man he was, I had to go Open the door.
“Tuthere a problem. Enzo I’m trying to get some rest here” I snapped at him, throwing him a disgusting glare.
“Did you keep hanging on the door just to see me and stare at me?” I raised an eyebrow when he just stared at me without saying a word.
We are going to the hospital to register you for your antenatal.” He said coldly and authoritatively, causing me to scoff because why
“h everything okay up there?” Hu I wanted to say those words to him, but I held myself back.
“You don’t have to worry about mr. I will do it myself.” I told him bluntly before turning to go back inside, but he held my hand, bringing me to a

“Don’t touch me!” I glared hard at him.
He groaned, raking his fingers through his hair, obviously frustrated. He looked at me, his eyes filled with concern instead of rage as he said. “That is my pup inside you, Lyra. Our pup! And I wouldn’t have you endanger your life–t
“Endanger my life? I have been taking care of myself and my baby since these past months even though you were not there. Did you say endangering my life!” I huffed unbelievably because of all the things to say, that was the most stupid thing he had to choose.
“Lyra. I won’t repeat myself, trust me. Get dressed. I’m coming back in two hours to drive you to the hospital” I scoffed as I watched him leave. How the fuck did he not feel remorseful about his actions? He wasn’t even going to talk about it with me? –
The only reason why he brought you here is because of your baby. Never forget that.
I placed a hand on my stomach, rubbing it gently as I walked back inside the room and closed the door behind me.
Fifteen minutes passed before a knock came on the door, followed by Claudia’s voice, and I ushered her in.
She walked in with a tray containing a plate which had the scrambled egg I asked her to make for me earlier.
“The food is ready, ma’am.” She carefully dropped the tray on the center table and turned to me with a smile on her face
“Do you want me to come help you?” She inquired, but I shook my head as I got out of bed.
“No, thank you. Please get me a glass of juice. Watermelon juice, please.” I told her, and she nodded before leaving to go get it for me.
Claudia came to clear the table once I was done eating minutes later, and I went to the bed to get some rest.

was just there, scrolling through my phone for what was not lost until it was almost two could go to the hospital.
Just as I had expected, he showed up, and I didn’t hesitate to open the door for him.
“Why are you still dressed like this? I told you to get dressed so we can
“And I told you that I wasn’t interested in going to the hospital with you. I know the way to the hospital when I’m ready for it, so you can as leave me the hell alone.” I told him calmly, picking my words one after the other to piss him off, and I’m glad I did.

“Don’t be stubborn, Lyra. Get back in there and get dressed. We are going to the hospital” He must’ve thought that it was then that I’d have been fidgeting by now. Screw him and his authority.
I was going to go back inside and lock the door, but he held my hand and stopped me. I tried wriggling out of his grasp, but his grip around me tightened as a smirk laced up his lips.
“Don’t blame me for being like this.” Before I could wrap my head around what he meant by that, he swept me off my feet, picking me up bridal style.
Is he crazy?
