Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 171

Ch-170

She was pregnant!?

Dammit!?

She was!?

She was so happy that she forgot the heartbreak she got from Cedric. There was a life growing in her stomach. She caressed it softly. Just then a nurse came in and asked her to fill in the details of her husband. Her smile dropped in an instant.

Was her child going to grow up with a single parent?

She slumped on the chair behind her as a tear rolled down her eye.

“Nurse, I will fill in the details for her. I will go with you,” Myna said and took the nurse away.

Katherine felt her heart was breaking into pieces when she saw this scene. Her brother really deserves to stay behind the bars. She would make sure that he will stay there for at least three days.

Turning her heels, she went to meet the doctor who treated Eleanor secretly. From her report, she got to know… Eleanor was four weeks pregnant. This means… it was from the time when her brother took her with force.

She went back to the police station. She made sure no one provides any comfort to Cedric.

Cedric was confused at the sudden change in his sister. But on the other hand… she was the kind of person who stands by the truth. Maybe she was feeling sorry for Eleanor.

Cedric felt his heart was breaking into pieces when he said those words filled with venom. He saw her breaking down. Her eyes and mouth were questioning her infinite questions. But he has no way or choice to answer them. He has to hurt her and show her pain. That was the only that was left for him.

Closing his eyes, he thought that he deserved this.

On the other hand…

Eleanor was fretting about what to do now in her life. Everything was going peacefully till he came. If they go bankrupt they would have gone and lived a normal poor happy life. But why does he need to save them? Why does he need to love her? Why does he need to break her?

Many things and thoughts were going on in her mind.

“Eleanor!” Myna yelled at Eleanor. She was called Eleanor for a long time but she wasn’t listening to her. She was thinking about something deeply.

Eleanor wondered what would be Cedric’s reaction if he gets to know that she was pregnant. Will he change his mind? She hopes so. Maybe she should meet him and talk to him. He should get out of the jail first for that.

Whatever he did… maybe he did that because that woman spoiled his brain. She concluded that Nathaira was the one who spoiled his brain. If he gets to know about their child… they can reconcile and have a happy family. She created a family of three for them in her head. But again she was not sure of it. Also… she doesn’t want her child to live a life without a father.

She didn’t notice that Myna was calling for a long while. She came back to her senses only when she yelled.

“Why are you shouting?” Eleanor asked.

“We should go home,” Myna said and Eleanor nodded.

They both entered the car and started driving.

“Myna, drive back to the police station,” Eleanor said shocking her.

“Why?” Myna asked.

“I want things to be clear between him and me,” Eleanor said.

Myna felt something bad was going to happen nevertheless she agreed.

Myna drove to the police station. If they were good, they might have got married by now. She would have been trying to think of ways to break the news to him in different ways. But… she was even afraid of breaking the news to him.

Many things were running in her mind.

Will she accept their child?

Will he give the fatherly love that the child needed?

Will he be happy after knowing the news?

Eleanor’s mind was filled with many questions and question marks. Taking a deep breath, she took a step ahead.

It’s all for her baby. She doesn’t need to be scared of telling the news to the baby’s father. But… if she withdraw the case… she couldn’t face her family.

Wait!

She wasn’t the one who filed the case against Cedric but Valene. She needs her brother to withdraw the case. Sigh… she would just talk to Cedric in the cell. With these thoughts, she walked ahead.

She saw people running here and there. She could hear a few groaning sounds. But she ignored them. Her stomach was churning at the sight of the police station. She could smell the faint smell of blood. She wanted to go out and throw up but she held it.

She walked ahead and spotted the chief of the police station. When the chief saw Eleanor, he got up and smiled at her.

“How are you, Miss?” he asked.

“I am fine,” she said.

“How may I help you?” he asked cautiously.

“I want to speak with Cedric Emerson,” Eleanor said. The chief looked as if he saw a ghost. This was the first time in his experience that a victim was asking their permission to talk with their assaulter. Nevertheless, he agreed, after all, they were talking about Cedric Emerson.

It’s evening in the day, Cedric almost stayed in the jail for a day. She felt her heartache for him. The chief arranged for them to talk. They took Cedric to the interrogation room. After all, despite the evidence they didn’t get the court hearing. So they have to wait for two days to visit the court. After all, it’s already Saturday. And they have to interact with everyone involved in the case. So, he was still in the cell. All this while, Cedric wanted to call someone to get out of the situation. But his sister took his phone away. That’s when the love of his life entered worriedly. He wanted to smile, wink at her and tease her. But he stopped remembering what he has done to her.

“Why are you here?” he yelled at her.

“Cedric… please… listen, only five minutes,” she pleaded. She was desperate to tell the news but again she was scared.

Cedric wanted to break the cell and take his fragile beauty into his arms. He wanted to hug her, kiss her and say that he was there for her. But he knew he can’t do that. Clenching his hand into a fist… he hardened himself.

“Why are you so desperate to talk to me? You can’t forget the nights with me?” he asked with a smirk. It didn’t look like his normal teasing but disgusting. Eleanor clenched her fist tightly when she heard his words. His every word thinning the hope she has for him. Closing her eyes for a split second to hide the hurt, she looked at him again.

“Cedric…” Eleanor was about to say something to him but he cut her off harshly.

“Don’t take my name from your filthy mouth. Only Nathaira can take that name,” he said.

Her nails dug into her skin. Here she was thinking about him and their future but he was saying she was filthy. Then would he treat their child as filth too?

She shivered at the thought. She couldn’t allow that to happen. Her child was the most precious thing in her life and even in the world. Unknowingly her bloodied palms went onto her stomach and clutched it tightly as if she was protecting her child.

“Didn’t you wait for years to talk to me? Didn’t you say my voice is music to your ears? What’s wrong now?” she asked.

“Are you still in your dreamland?” he asked. His was dripping with venom.

Eleanor lowered her head. She was putting her self-respect aside to talk with him. She still felt chills running down her spine when she remembered the situation from the morning. Sweat broke from her forehead. Taking a deep breath, she raised her head and looked at him.

“Do you love me at least a bit?” she asked looking into his eyes.

Cedric’s heart broke into pieces at her words. He wanted to say that he wanted to accumulate all the love in the world and give it to her but he couldn’t say anything.

“Nope. I never loved you. I was there with you for only sex,” he said. Eleanor’s eyes widened in shock. Soon the shock was replaced with pain, hurt, and betrayal.

One last chance won’t hurt more than now, right? With that, she decided to give him only one chance.

“Then why did you say you want to have a family with me? Will you abandon me and my child if I am pregnant?” she asked.

Her eyes were burning. Her tears were threatening to fall but she held them back. She was waiting for his answer. There was a small flicker of hope in her heart.

“I would never have a family with you. As for the child, It doesn’t deserve to be on the earth. Just for the sole reason of being the son of you. You are just a sex doll to me. If you ever wanted to have sex, you can find me. I will satisfy you,” he said with a disgusting smile.

That was all. Her heart was beyond broken.. She would never in her life, trust a man again.
