Becoming strangers again (Lily and Ryan)

Chapter 48

Chapter 48 STEHANIE I will not be treated like a goddamn fool. If Ryan accepted me back, divorced his wife because of me, then he has to take complete responsibility of me and my feelings. My parents did not f@cking raise a weakling that should be tramped upon, they raised a goddamn tiger and I am going to Ryan see just that. Pulling over at his parents‘ house, I got off the car and handed my keys to one of the securities to park my car properly, Walking into the living room. I approached one of the domestic staffs. “Where is Mrs. Sarah?” Ryan’s mother will be the easiest to manipulate easily, and if I can get into her head, it will be so much easier to get into the head of Richard Williams. Ryan will never leave me for Lily. I will make sure everyone one is against her or whatever bastards she birthed for Ryan. “She is in the garden.” The domestic staff replied and I stomped off towards the direction of the garden. I met her tending to the roses which I believe she loves more than her son. I can remember sometime in the past when Ryan received a through beating from his mum because he mistakenly ran his mini car into the garden, thereby destroying some of Mrs. Sarah’s roses. Masking a pitiful face, I called out to her. “Mum!” She halted with the watering can in her hand and turned around to face me. Slowly, she ran her gaze through my form with that expression that makes it difficult to figure out what was going on in her head. “Stephanie? What are you doing here?” Why do you think I will be here if not for your son who is hell bent on ruining my life‘ I retorted in my head. “I am here because I wish to discuss something very important with you.” She turned to watering her useless plants. “Are you having another problem with Ryan?” she asked in a rather bored tune. “This is more than just relationship problem with Ryan.” I replied, waiting for her to dump the watering can and follow me out of this place. The wet soil is irritating me.. Keeping mute or rather ignoring me, she continued to water her plants, while I stood still like a fool waiting for her to finish up. I stood for over forty–five minutes until she eventually finished watering the plants, dropped the watering can then remove her gloves. She watched her hands in the small sink provided at the entrance of the garden before walking past me into the house. I took that as my cur to follow her. “Get us some tea in my quiet space.” Sarah called out to a random staff before heading upstairs to a room where she normally spends her time flipping through magazines. Walking in after her, I took a seat and crossed my legs, waiting for her to at least say something to

me proving that she indeed heard what I told her in the garden, but instead, she deliberately blinked slowly at me, getting on every bit of my nerves, “Are you going to say something?” she finally asked as the door opened and the tea was brought to us. Who brings hot tea in a hot afternoon Sarah Williams, I guess. I waited until the door closed behind the staff who just brought coffee before speaking my reason for being here today. “I am pregnant.” I announced and Sarah’s eyes widened in astonishment. “I “I found out about it last week.” Gradually, her lips stretched into a smile. “Isn’t that supposed to be good news?” she asked, “why then does your face look so forlorn?” “I would have been happy about this new improvement have your son not decided to move mad.” I deadpanned. The smile on her face gradually disappeared. “What is that supposed to mean?” she asked. “I really hope you have a very good reason for insulting my son.” “Your son is refusing to get married to me despite knowing that I am pregnant because he is freaking cheating on me!” Her frown deepened. “I am going to need you to calm down.” She pleaded gently, “I don’t think the baby needs all that stress and the feeling of frustration coming from you.” 1-3 11:43 AM Chapter 49 That’s it, feel pity for me. “My parents are mad. They said they agreed to this whole getting pregnant thing in the first place because they believed Ryan will do the right thing by getting married to me the moment, he finds out that I am pregnant, and now that he has refused to do that, they are threatening to disown me because they’d rather lose me than have me tint the image name of my family. “Ryan is having an affair?” Sarah asked incredulously and I nodded. “Has he lost his mind?” picking up my glass of tea, I took a sip and allowed my words do its job. “Do you know the lady he is cheating on you with?” “You know the lady too.” I responded, allowing a dramatic silence follow. “Ryan is cheating on me with his ex–wife Lily, and that is the reason he constantly travels to Canada to be with her.” “Lily?” Sarah spat with disgust. “Is that bitch still leeching off him.” I didn’t think it was necessary to tell Sarah that Lily is far from being a leech. Bitch lives and rolls in money. Smacking my lips, I watched her vent her anger and disappointment in her son. “If Ryan doesn’t let that woman go and do the right thing, I am going to get rid of this baby.” I threatened and her eyes widened. “I will not lose my family over his foolishness.” Shaking her head, Sarah reached forward and took my hand in hers, “You will not lose your family, nor will you lose this baby. I will have a talk with my husband and we will make sure Ryan does he right thing.” She exhaled audibly. “You do

realize that this baby is a miracle baby that we all have been waiting for, and it is going to save Ryan from losing his position as the chairman. You will not harm that baby Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Stephanie. I sniffed, forcing a tear for the sake of more dramatics. “And you think I want to harm a baby that I have always prayed and worked hard for? Ryan is really breaking my heart” on to me meet my son.” She smiled reassuringly at me. “I will talk to him. be rest assured that you will be walking down the aisle soon “And Lily?” “I will remind that gold digger of her place.” Satisfied, I continued to take a sip of my coffee. Whether Ryan likes it or not, he will have to get married to me because I need to get married to him more than he needs to. After conversing with Sarah, I left her home. ***** The moment I stepped foot into my house, my phone rang and I dipped my hand into my purse and retrieved it. My frown was instant when I saw the number calling me. Didn’t we agree that we won’t reach out to each other in the mean time? Why is he even calling me when he isn’t doing his job properly? I swiped the receive button, plopped down the sofa and placed the phone to my car. “What do you want?” I asked flatly. “Things are getting out of hand.” He replied and I frowned, disappointed that he is just realizing it. “It is either you are not doing the right thing, or there is an explanation you are not giving me.” I scoffed at the audacity of the fool talking to me. “The problem here is that you are the one who isn’t doing it right.” Because if he did, we wouldn’t have even been in this mess to begin with. The bastard sighed in my eat. “So, what do you suggest we do?” Chuckling mockingly at him, I shook my head. “And who exactly is under this category of we?” I asked him, wondering if he actually smoked something before calling me. “There is no we hear young man, I am trying to clear my mess, and I advise you do the same too.” Before he could get the chance to respond, I disconnected the call. Irritated by the conversation I just had with him, I wondered what he took me for. Getting off the sofa, I walked over to grab a glass of scotch Yes, you heard me! I am not pregnant, but I’d be damned before I let another woman steal Ryan away from me. That’s n happen. Not in this life, not in the next. never going to Since I am already in my villain

era, all thanks to Ryan, I can as well act it out. All he had to do to stop this craziness was just to get married to me, but no, he chose to go after that bitch and for that reason un all a 11.43 AM Chapter 48 believe me when I say even those tiny bastard Lily birthed are not excluded in my anger.
