Chapter 593

593 Her, Her Baby, And Her Career

There was nothing but tense silence between Adele and Aziz as they drove back home. She was the one behind the heels while Aziz sat beside her on the front seat and hadn’t said a word since they stepped out of the base.

Elijah stared at her and though he had the words waiting to be said at the tip of his tongue, a look at Adele’s clenched jaw made him reconsider. She had her gaze fixed on the road and refused to look at him. Adele was mad at him, Elijah didn’t need a prophet to explain that to him. He failed her today and it wasn’t intentional.

However, he was mad at both himself and Marcel. Elijah wasn’t mad because Marcel hit him, rather it was because he hurt Adele. Seeing Adele in pain at that time made something snap in him and he had been close to losing everything, exposing his identity as Elijah if it meant he plowed Marcel’s pretty boy face with punches.

He stared at Adele and found out that the bruise on her head had swelled up and his chest constricted. It looked so painful and he didn’t even realize when he reached out to touch the wound as if to soothe it and she shied away from his touch.

“You have a bump on your head, we have to get that treated before it becomes permanent,” He told her, but she ignored him, keeping her eyes on the road stubbornly.

“It needs to be compressed!” He reminded her once more before she shouted at him,

“Could you just shut it!” She veered off to the side of the road and pulled up right away. Once she killed the engine, Adele turned to him and said in an outburst with gestures,

“I am so sick and tired of all of this drama! What the hell happened back there, Aziz?! You had your opportunity there and blew it when all you had to do was be a doll, charm Marcel and your future in this organization would be as clear as day! Yet you messed up big time! What the hell happened between you and Arianna, Aziz?!” Adele felt like she was losing her mind.

She was dealing with so much right now and never saw this one coming. If

.....

anyone had told her that today would turn out so horribly, she would never have believed it.

“Let’s get you treated first and then we can talk about this,” He said firmly.

Adele wanted to protest, but when she saw his busted lips and the bruise across his face from Marcel’s fist, she decided to reconsider. However, she yanked Elijah forward by the front of his shirt out of nowhere, startling him,

“No matter what happens in the future, you would never lay a hand on Marcel’s face, do you hear me?” She warned him with a fierce and serious look in her eyes.

Elijah looked at her in disbelief, “Really? Is that what you should be worried about right -”

Adele cut him off, tightening her hold on him to the point she was choking him, “If it hadn’t been for me and your dumb luck, Marcel would have ended your pathetic ass right away for touching his face. So tell me you wouldn’t do that another day?! ” She yelled loudly at him.

Elijah didn’t say a word, wondering why Marcel’s face was so sacred. But when he saw the hardness in her eyes, he had no other choice but to give in as she wanted.

“Fine, I would avoid the face,”

It was not a promise.

He would simply pick up a fight with Marcel another day as Elijah and not Aziz. On that day, he would not be holding back his strength, only the best man wins.

Thanks to this incident, has proven to him that Marcel was no good for Arianna. If he couldn’t hold his anger and hurt Adele, it would only be a matter of time before Arianna finds herself in Adele’s situation. Arianna has to leave that place and the incident has given him enough incentive to see his plans come true.

It was quite sad he would have to leave Adele’s life the day his plans come true though. It was shocking but Adele has gotten under his skin; he would miss her terribly. Perhaps, if he and Adele had met under better circumstances – and different families – they would have made a future together. But all good things must come to an end and he better start packing up, emotionally.

“Let’s get you treated then,” Adele started the car and drove off. It didn’t take a long time for her to find a pharmacy and they parked right outside.

Adele had an ice pack pressed to the bump on the side of her head while Aziz’s face was being treated. She watched him the entire time and battled with the urge to tell him the truth or not.

She tried to discern from his attitude so far, what would Aziz do if she told him she was having his baby?

Abortion.

The word rang deeply in her head and even the ice pack on her forehead couldn’t compare to the chill that seeped into her bones.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

It was not happening.

But Aziz wouldn’t want any distraction at the moment and a baby wasn’t just a distraction, it was a responsibility – a huge one that changed lives.

No, Adele made up her mind, he wasn’t going to know. She was having this baby whether Aziz liked it or not. For the moment, she was not going to tell him and would figure out what to do in the months to come when her bumps began to show.

One thing was for sure, this fling had to end. Adele had a new objective and one of them involved giving her baby a safe place. If Aziz wouldn’t get involved in the life of his child, she would do the job all by herself.

Nor was she getting married either.

It was just her, her baby, and her career.

And who knows, Marcel might be up to be her baby’s godfather.
