Tears started brimming in my eyes after hearing his rude words. No one in the family knew about the contract part of the marriage except Oliver. I had told him because he was, and he was the closest to me out of all my siblings. Never did I think that he would use my secret to apply against me.
“Shut up, Liv. She’s pregnant.”, Rebecca scolded.
“Pregnant,” Oliver repeated that word. “It was a contract marriage then this baby ……. Did he force himself on you?” he asked, looking straight into my eyes.
“No!”, I shook my head. I was in no mood to go into detail, and I was sure neither my brother wanted to hear my sex maths too.
“Okay then! If this baby is not out of love, then there is no use in keeping him or her. I won’t suggest you abort him or her, but when they are here in this world, you can give it up for adoption.”
“What did you just say to me?” I looked at him in horror. How could he say so? “You are suggesting giving on my baby after taking care of him or her for the next nine months? How easily you asked me to do something this cruel when on the other hand, you’re taking care of your girlfriend’s baby, who was born out of marital abuse?” I asked him and then looked at Rebecca.
“I didn’t mean to hurt you by raising this topic, but I guess my brother needs a reality check. Your baby, I guess, his name is Steve! Can you ever imagine giving him for adoption?”
“No!”, She replied. “He is innocent, so he shouldn’t be the one to suffer for the mistakes that he never did.”, She added.
I turned my gaze back to my brother before speaking, “Don’t worry. I won’t be a burden on you or anyone. Because I know neither you nor my half brothers will support me in raising this baby because you all will have to explain to everyone why the husband of your sister left her. That’s why I will leave from here.”, I said to Oliver. “Thank you again for saving my life and unknowingly for saving the life of my baby.” I thanked her before leaving the bed.
“You can wherever you want, just answer yourself some questions. How are you planning to handle your baby without money, food, a roof under the head, a job, and most importantly, without anyone’s support,” he asked, folding his hand around his chest.
Well, he had a valid point.
What, now?
He opened his mouth to speak something but all of a sudden his phone started ringing. He checked his phone, and his body stiffened. I could already imagine the name on the display because only our elder brother had the power to leave such an effect on us.
He swiped the phone and answered it. “Hello”
“Yeah. I’m still here.”
“Yeah! I know. This is the second time I didn’t board my flight. But I promise I will be there by tomorrow.”
“Hmm,” After talking with Big B. He disconnected the call and then looked at his mate.
“Becca, I ….”
“Don’t worry. I will arrange a place and every necessary thing for her.”, She said, cutting him in between. I knew her girlfriend or, say, was Richie rich, so this work would be too easy for someone like her. I was not a werewolf so staying in the pack was out of the question, and I wouldn’t be questioned a lot if I would go to my hunter clan with a baby bump but not with his or her father, so I couldn’t go there too.
“I… I don’t want to stay here.”, I said because this place would always remind me of my pain, suffering, and the death of my daughter, Caroline.
Rebecca looked at me with a knowing look, as if she could sense my pain; well, she could. After all, she was a werewolf and future Queen, to be precise.
“How about Manaus, Brazil?”
“Fine with me.”, I agreed, even though I knew that would be an entirely new place for me.
“Perfect then. I will also send the werewolf couple with you so that it will be easier for you to cope of up with the pregnancy and the rest of the things.”, She said those things about which I was worried. I hugged her tightly and sobbed in her arms.
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much, Rebecca.” I would forever be in debt for the help she did to me. She wasn’t just rich in terms of money, but also her heart was of gold.
“Don’t be. We’re family.”, She said, on which I felt Oliver hugging both of us.

I didn’t stay more than a day in that city and left for Manaus the very next day, leaving everything behind to start everything fresh and with a new beginning.

How was the part?
Sophia’s POV
Two months later!
“Wow! Congratulation.”, I congratulated Rebecca. “Now, three newborn babies are going to join our family.”, I added with a big smile. If you guys have guessed it right, then it is well and good. If not, then let me share one of the most fantastic news of my life, i.e., ‘I’m pregnant with twins.’
‘I’m so nervous, Sophia. I mean, this pregnancy is totally unplanned, and I don’t know when Oliver will keep this child or not because he is busy making his career.’
“I know my brother. He will be the happiest man in the world after knowing that you’re pregnant. Planned or Not.”
“Let’s see. I’m going to inform him. Hopefully, I’m expecting a positive response. By the way, how are you doing? And your babies?”
“They are doing great till now, but I could sigh in relief only after everything their birth.”
“Don’t worry. Everything will be fine. Just let me know if you need anything, okay?”
“Sure. But thankfully, you have already arranged everything, so I don’t think I need anything else.”
“Okay! Take care of yourself. I have to switch off the phone because the flight is going to take off.”
“You too. Have a safe journey, and don’t forget to drop a message once your flight land.”
“Sure.”
After disconnecting the call, I sat on the balcony and looked around the view in front of me. This city was situated on the bank of Negro River, so I could clearly see the river from here and from here. I could also see the busy bridge, Ponte Rio Negro, from here. And the bridge reminded me of his memories of him.

Flashback (Two years ago)
*
I was standing on the edge of the bridge and was thinking of killing myself, but I was scared to do so because if I did that, then I would not just end my life but also the life of a baby which was within me.
But then, if I died by jumping from here, then dad would find me out and kill my baby because I wasn’t married yet and got pregnant with my boyfriend’s baby, who disappeared all of a sudden when he heard about the news of his baby breathing within me.
Now, I had no idea what should I do?
