The Shackles of Aileen's Love

Pregnancy News

On the bed with more than enough illumination, Aileen hurriedly wiped away the trace of tears on her cheeks.

He tried to smile, but could not cover his eyes. He was a little unconvinced that his recklessness that day would bring himself to this point.

Idiotically. If you know you're going to regret it like now, why would I do something like that? this is called karma.

What is sown, that will be reaped. Regretting everything won't change anything. Aileen should have known that from the start.

"Papa Dave?"

Dave quickly approached his daughter and hugged her tightly. "Darling, are you okay? thank goodness." Dave was relieved.

Dave's feelings of anxiety mixed with worry vanished just like that when he saw Aileen's face.

He touched the face and found a foreign twinkle that showed that his daughter was not well,

"Is it still sick?" ask Dave again. "Tell papa which parts are uncomfortable dear, Hem?"

This is the first time Dave has seen his daughter like this. Since childhood, Aileen has always had a healthy body. Maybe occasionally he had a fever, and also the flu, but never got like this.

Aileen blinked with mixed feelings. After knowing the facts about her pregnancy, Aileen became a little emotional.

Perasaannya mulai bergejolak. Lebih dari pada itu, ia tidak tahu bagaimana harus menjelaskan semua ini pada papanya.

"Papa Dave's. I'm sorry." said Aileen, making Dave once again hug his daughter tightly.

"It's okay, baby. Its alright. You're gonna be okay." Dave didn't know anything at the time. He only thought that his daughter was in ordinary pain.

"I'm sorry papa. It's papa's fault for letting you work too hard." Dave should have known that his daughter was going through something like this. This is his fault. He was a careless father.

From where he stood, Cole never once took his eyes off Aileen.

He was still trying to make sure that the woman on the bed was the same person.

The sneaker woman. The woman who just left herself with a check worth a hundred thousand dollars. Hid..

"Doctor, please tell me what really happened? what pain does my daughter suffer, can she be cured?" dave asked, back to worrying about Aileen's condition.

Surprisingly, the doctor smiled. That certainly made Dave a little confused. Plus when the doctor started his words so calmly.

"Don't worry Mr. Marsden, your daughter is fine. This is happy news." said the doctor.

Be happy? should I feel relieved? doesn't this mean that Aileen is okay?

"really?" Dave blinked, and the people in the room were relieved,

"Miss Aileen just needs to take good care of her body. So too with food and drink. In the beginning it might feel heavy, but as time goes by Miss Aileen will get used to it."

Dave was confused again. He could not understand the meaning of the doctor.

"This is a normal condition. And I suggest that for a while Miss Aileen can rest for an entire week." Aileen lowered her head in silence.

"This is a particularly precarious time for Miss Aileen's pregnancy" the doctor added. And at that very moment Dave lost all his words. Daughter pregnant. Impregnated. Impregnated. But how is it possible? Dave doesn't know that.

Will he be a grandfather? Once again Dave turned his eyes to Aileen. He was looking for confirmation of the news.

Maybe not just Dave, but Cole and Alex who were in the room were both eager to get reassurance. And also an explanation.

For Cole, this news was more like a warning to dispel all his initial intentions. Since the word pregnant was proclaimed, Cole had dashed his hopes.

Sure oes. How could a woman so charming and so hot in bed live alone for too long? silly to.

Although from the beginning Cole was there just to make sure if it was true that Aileen was that woman. The woman he's been looking for all this time.

I don't know why he was a little disappointed. He was no longer excited to continue the detective game.

Since Cole had already got the answer of all his curiosity, it was fitting for Cole to leave from there. He was nobody in that place. But strangely, Cole's feet did not want to budge.

"Alien.." Dave called his daughter once again. Dave wanted to hear an explanation straight from Aileen's mouth.

The girl raised her head, but this time it wasn't to see Dave. Unless there was another figure who suddenly locked his gaze..

Those eyes...

That face..

That look...Clearly Aileen knew what and who she was looking at at this moment.

Aileen knew that figure very well. How could he forget... That man is him..

Deg ..

All the words that had been neatly arranged as an explanation and wanted to say immediately Aileen suddenly disappeared.

Surprisingly, he felt relieved. I don't know what the reason for the sudden warmth running through his entire body was.

As he gained new strength in a way that he himself did not know how to say.

And when he saw Cole's whereabouts. Aileen felt that a small miracle had begun to appear in her life. Aileen smiled.

Stupidly. What could make him think like this. What encouragement? that's bullshit!

It was ridiculous if he thought everything would be fine just from seeing the man in the room right now.

He himself has not confirmed everything. And explanation? looks like he should do that first.

"Aileenis. Really it? is.." Dave breathed a heavy sigh. But on the other hand, he was also relieved. At least, his daughter is not suffering from one of the dangerous diseases as she feared.

Not wanting to push Aileen further, Dave immediately turned to the man who should have played an important role in this incident.

The man who will become his daughter's fiancee. Ah, maybe husband. If they're finally gonna have kids this fast.

Although Dave was eager to voice objections to what had happened to his daughter, of course Dave could not undo everything that had happened.

As the saying goes, rice has become porridge. Nothing can be done but clean up the rest.

In the womb of his daughter there is a fetus that will grow longer and bigger.

And things like this can't just be covered up. Maybe he could send his daughter anywhere while giving birth to his future grandchildren, only in this kind of situation, such a thing was not necessary.

And to keep his daughter's good name, it seems like the marriage should be implemented as soon as possible.

Alex looked tense as Dave stared intently at her. His face stiffened as he stared at Dave and Aileen in turn. He felt like he was being judged for what was going on.

Alex did nothing. But if viewed more carefully, compared to a denial, Alex actually felt a little disappointed and regretful for what happened to his prospective fiancee. That means, all this time secretly Aileen was in a relationship with another man.

"It looks like your engagement we just cancel" Dave said. "We're speeding up to the wedding. This baby won't be able to wait any longer. I want you to prepare everything as quickly as possible. Don't procrastinate anymore." The decision has been made. And Dave thinks that's best for everyone.

But hearing Dave's words, Aileen could only shake her head. Instead of continuing her marriage to Alex, Aileen has her own decisions.

"Papa, it's like I can't marry Alex." Aileen interrupted. This time everyone standing there raised questionable gazes at the woman. It was as if the woman had rejected the best solution her family could come up with.

Dave's head was pulsating listening to his daughter's refusal. How could in such a situation Aileen refuse to marry.

Though it is clear that what Dave wants to protect here is the good name of his daughter. "Dear Aileen, you should get married. This baby, after all.."

Instantly a foreign feeling flooded the man's body. He was pounding, curious at the same time. What did the girl mean by her bold gaze..

Although Cole is aware that he is not part of the family, somehow Cole still wants to see and hear everything.

"Aileen what do you mean?" dave almost snapped, but a moment later he lowered his voice again.

Dave again floated a questionable look at Alex. The man took a step forward, but then pegged there.

"What Aileen said is true uncle. We never did anything Uncle thought. I never even touched Aileen one bit." Alex opened his voice. Alex disappointed.

Aileen. He felt a little guilty when he saw Alex's eyes. He knew that all this time the man had been sincerely carrying out the role of a prospective fiancee.

"I'm sorry Alex." murmured Aileen silently. And Alex can capture that guilt in Aileen's eyes. Alex smiled faintly with mixed feelings.

For the past few months after the meeting, Aileen had never once refused Alex's invitation to leave.

They spent the weekend together. Occasional dates, dinners and movies, like most couples, but only to that extent. Alex never touched Aileen in the least except for holding hands.

From the beginning Alex had felt that there was an invisible wall between them. And Alex never forced his will on Aileen.

But apparently, now he knows what the cause is. The woman had another man in her heart.

"But I don't mind marrying Aileen. I'm also willing to accept the baby" Alex said after her.

"I mean it Aileen, Uncle. If possible, let me take responsibility."

Hearing the statement, Dave really felt confused as well as angry. He was not angry at his daughter, but at himself. He failed to be a father.

Failed to look after his precious daughter. She thought she had given her daughter everything she needed.

Even he gave Sarah to keep Aileen safe, but still it seems that all that is not enough.

"Sir." Sarah took a step forward while bowing her head. "It's my fault. I can't take good care of the lady." Sarah felt guilty.

However, he has a hand in that. Dave's head is getting heavy.

"Stop Sarah" said Aileen. "When what I did was your fault. It's my own problem, so don't take responsibility for what happened to me."

"But miss.."

"I did it because I wanted to. So this is not your fault" Aileen said firmly.

He does not blame others for what happened to him. If they have to find the cause, it all starts with themselves. Not Sarah or that guy, but him.

"Alien." Dave lost his words again. "I'm still getting married, Papa. But with another man, the father of this baby" Aileen said.

And once again all those words made all those in the room shocked. Including Cole. He praised Aileen's courage to take charge of herself.

It seemed like that woman was not a spoiled woman who could do nothing. Aileen's attitude changed Cole's view of him a bit.

Dave shaking.. He was speechless with such a completely confusing situation.

"Aileen dear." said Dave sighing heavily. "You just take a break, let's get this thing resolved" Dave said. But then again, Aileen refused.

The woman turned to Alex. He really must apologize to the man who has been carrying out his role as a lover.

Aileen knew very well Alex was a good man, and had she had little interest in him, then Aileen would not have hesitated to choose Alex as her husband. But in fact, he has no taste.

"Alexes. Ii'm sorry. But I can't marry you." said Aileen. He felt silly and stupid at the same time.

This was the worst drama of his life. "This kid." Aileen held her stomach. "To grow up with both parents."

As knowing the meaning of Aileen's words, Sarah immediately interrupted the conversation;

"Miss, I'll take care of her" Sarah said. "Sir, just trust me with this business." Sarah also tries to convince Dave that all this drama is coming to an end.

Sarah could see that Aileen was beginning to get annoyed with the endless talk.

"There is no need for Sarah" said Aileen, there was firmness and confidence in the voice. Aileen did not want to refuse Sarah's help, only, at this time there was no need to find someone who was in front of her eyes. "But miss,"

"It just so happens that you're here, what's your name?" Aileen shifted her topic. This time he spoke to Cole.

The man frowned, recognizing every look that began to be fixed on him. He is a stranger. At present. And also a few months before.

"Coles. Cole Maxim." he replied. Aileen smiled faintly. And that smile made Cole's chest pound uncomfortably.

"You heard it, didn't you? i'm pregnant. And as you know, you should have this baby" Aileen said.

Now Aileen's decision should be obeyed by everyone. Dave, who was still confused, can now digest a little of his daughter's words.

The man who was there, the man who had been quietly observing all he wanted, turned out to be the man who had a hand in the matter that was going on right now. But how can it be? don't they know each other?

"Aileenis. Looks like we should talk" Dave said. "So is you young man." Dave points to Cole. At that time, Cole really did not know why he had to be involved.

But from what the woman meant, she was the one who had to take responsibility. That means that the events of that night produced something between them. The baby in the woman's womb is hers. But really?

"Well." Cole sounded stiff. From the look on his face, of course, all this was outside his plan.

After the short drama, Dave relented to postpone all his questions until the doctor finished examining Aileen.

The doctor suggested that Aileen stay the night to continue the examination tomorrow. And this is what the girl did. Back to lying on the bed with a room that smells of chlorine.

After everyone had left, there was only Dave and Cole who still remained in the room. Although Aileen was already feeling tired, but it seemed like papa Dave would not want to wait until tomorrow.

"Papa Dave." Aileen is back. This time he will try to persuade his father to postpone all talks until tomorrow morning. His body really felt tired.

"Yes darling. You need anything?"

"You two should go home" said Aileen. "Can we talk when the sun is shining again? it felt like my head was going to break." said Aileen.

As if supporting her words, the woman's face already showed signs of exhaustion.

"Papa's gonna stay here looking after you, baby. You take a break" said Dave, not wanting to leave Aileen alone.

"But papa."

"Sleep baby. Papa will stay here even if you insist on telling papa to come home." Dave repeated.

"And you, come back son," Dave turned to Cole who still didn't know what to say.

In just a matter of hours, something changed him from a halfway man to a man who would have a baby.

"We'll talk again after my daughter's condition improves. We'll call you." Dave said.

"alright. I'm waiting for the next speaker" Cole said. "And of course, I wouldn't run away from responsibility if it was my duty."

Hearing Cole's words, Aileen really felt much better. At least, he liked the way the man handled things.

Cole looked at Aileen, then showed gratitude for the woman's condition which was currently fine.

"I'll leave my card to your bodyguard. Let me know if you're ready to talk."
