THE MAFIA'S PENANCE

MY PREGNANCY

The presence of Vernon with a helicopter makes me feel happy until unconsciously a smile on my lips. Vernon looked at me for a moment and then looked back at Arthur standing beside me.

"I'm sorry, I was in such a hurry that I came by helicopter." Vernon told Arthur.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you really looking forward to me giving up 80 percent of Genoa?" Arthur asked with a sharp look at Vernon.

Vernon laughed at Arthur's words, making Arthur seem to radiate more and more anger.

"You're wrong Art, I'm in a hurry to come here because I want to take mine." Vernon replied with a cold look at me.

"What do you mean?" Arthur asked and turned to me to make him understand what Vernon was saying. "I'll give up 80 percent of Genoa right now. Go to Genoa now I'll catch up."

Vernon shook his head with a smile. It seems he disagrees with Arthur's words, which sound like he's driving him away.

"You should know too, Art, I can still threaten you for what you did ten years ago, so give me back your redemption." Vernon.

In my heart I felt a sense of pleasure. It's weird, I should be unhappy and I should be upset about Vernon's words and whereabouts here but it's like something's changed my feelings for Vernon right now. It even felt like I became eager to run and hug her right away.

"Ah, and regarding Genoa, please you can take everything for La Nostra, consider it a gift from your sister-in-law."

Vernon was about to step closer to make the guards prepare to pull the trigger but Arthur gave a cue by raising his hand so that they all held fire.

Arthur turned to me who was also looking at him, but without thinking anything I ran towards Vernon and grabbed his body which directly reached me by holding me to his arms. Instantly I felt something so warm in my heart at this moment.

"Thank you Art, you've taken very good care of my wife." A mocking smile at Vernon emanated on his face.

After that, Vernon and I boarded a helicopter. When the helicopter propeller turned back Renata waved his hand at us with a smile. It let me know that he told Vernon and made him come in a hurry by helicopter.

In the helicopter, I sat beside Vernon and was still leaning in his arms. For a moment I forgot about my hatred for him.

"Aren't you supposed to be upset that you're finally going to be my prisoner again?" Vernon looked at me who was holding him.

His words awakened me to take off my hands and sit up straight. I had no idea what was happening to me, being in Vernon's arms made me feel so comfortable that I forgot how I should behave to my enemies.

"We're going to the hospital." Vernon.

It seems like Renata has indeed told Vernon everything about my current state. I held back the smile on my lips because I didn't want Vernon to know that I was happy to hear his words.

The doctor checked me out. I saw how something was in my stomach when the doctor put some fluid on my lower abdomen and the ultrasound presses on my stomach.

"Congratulations Mr. Skjoldbjarrg, the mistress is pregnant at this time. She's six weeks old." Said a male doctor about forty years old.

Vernon's face was flat when he heard the news. That disappointed me a little. I hoped he would be happy when he heard the news but my guess was wrong.

"But it's best that the lady bed rest master because her gunshot wound hasn't healed completely, it can be very dangerous for her and for the baby she contains." Add the doctor.

We got into the car on the way back to Vernon's house. I still feel the disappointment that makes me sad at this moment. I kept staring out the car window and held back my tears so as not to cry at this moment.

Vernon wasn't happy with my pregnancy, it was very painful. I should have followed Arthur's words to just drop my womb like this.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done it that time. You're pregnant now." Vernon sat to my right in the car. "Your wounds are still not healed properly, it will affect the condition of your body. You can't get out of bed so you and the baby are okay. Youunderstand?"

It turns out my guess was wrong. What Vernon said just now made me look at him. It's not that Vernon wasn't happy with my pregnancy but that he felt guilty for making me pregnant in my gunshot wound condition that has not healed properly at this time.

"Do you understand, Viv? Don't get out of bed, I'll ask the waiter to take care of you 24 hours." Vernon.

"I want you to take care of me." I replied in a soft tone of voice, embarrassed to say it, but then I turned to Vernon. "It's all your fault, you shouldn't have done it to me back then. So you have to take care of me 24 hours."

Vernon snorted at my cry. But without me expecting her left hand to embrace me and pull my body against her. Looks like our son also influenced me to hug Vernon at this time. My hands immediately I looped into Vernon's body, hugging him. I also smiled in my arms.

It felt like my pregnancy made me feel something strange. Every time I became anxious to be by Vernon's side and embrace him. It makes me feel comfortable and calm. I know it's all because the baby I'm carrying isn't my own.

When we got home, Vernon carried me to take me to my room. I feel very happy at this moment. I darkened in her chest smelling her scent which made me feel more comfortable.

"I thought you two would be separated soon." Vegard's voice rang out as Vernon walked inside the door.

Vernon and I ignored his words.

"Vivian all right, Vern?" This time it was Olivia who asked as Vernon climbed the stairs.

"No, she's pregnant, so she's not okay." Vernon answered when he reached the second floor and turned for a moment to Olivia who was under the stairs. "What do you want to eat? I'll have the waiter prepare all the food you want." Vernon asked to see me who was in his arms.

I am so happy to see his attention at this time. My pregnancy made her attitude change for me. That's a very good thing.

"I just want you." I subconsciously said this and it made Vernon laugh.

"It seems my son is affecting you right now. Didn't you want us to get divorced before?" Vernon said as he entered our room and put me to bed. "Do you still want us to split up?" Look at Vernon after putting me on the bed but I still wrap my hand around his neck.

"I just want a kiss from you." My answer.

Vernon immediately grabbed my lips to fulfill my request. Somehow all this happened, my pregnancy made me forget my hatred for Vernon, even it seemed like Vernon had also become kind to me. This is a good thing.

"I'm happy about your pregnancy, Viv." Vernon smiled.
