“I had a doctor’s appointment earlier today.” She sits down with a worried face.“I’m pregnant,” I confess.
“I don’t know how you need me to react. So tell me, should I congratulate you or be pissed for you?” Her face is genuine. It makes me smile, and for a moment, I don’t feel alone.
“I don’t know how I feel.”
“I'm here. Whatever you need.” She smiles.
“Thanks.”
As I cook, she tells me all about her day. I appreciate the change of topic. Things are so complicated and I am not ready to tell her about Viktor. I am still trying to figure out how I feel and what I want to do next.
Chapter Six
Viktor
“I’m your wife. You can’t do this to me.” Fiona says for the third time.
“You are more than welcome to move out,” I tell her, annoyed at the entire situation.
“As your wife, I should be in the same bed as you.”
“There is no love between us. This is an obligation. If you are looking for love, go elsewhere.” I walk towards my office.
“We are married, and I love you, Viktor. We are having a baby.” She stands in front of me like it’s going to change anything.
“I don’t love you and never will. We are having a child. It’s the only thing connecting us and keeping you here.” I walk around her.
“I don’t want to be in the bedroom downstairs. I want to be with you. At least let me stay in the bedroom across from yours.”
“No.” I continue to walk.
“It’s that fucking whore, isn’t it? That is why you are acting like this. She is inside your head. Aren’t you over her already?”
“Fiona,” I bark, making her take a step back.“I will not repeat myself. You will stay downstairs or get the fuck out of my house.” I open the door to my office, tired of arguing with her.
“You won’t get away with this. I will tell my father, and he will tell yours. We will see what happens to….” I don’t let her finish. I grab her and push her against the wall.
“I don’t do threats. You know this.”
“There is my dominant man. Things can just go back to how they were, baby.” I let her go immediately.
I enter my office and slam the door. She has only been here a week, and my patience is running thin. I comb my fingers through my hair. I’m in a never-ending fight with Fiona. She makes me miss Ava even more. I wish I had done things differently. Oliver still hasn’t found her. I’m beginning to lose whatever hope I might have left. There is so much I want to tell her. I can’t believe she is hiding from me, of all people.
Viktor: I miss you. Come home. I’ll make things right.
I wish I could hate Ava. Get her out of my head permanently. It would make things easier for me. But I barely sleep, knowing she is alone somewhere unprotected. She hasn’t reached out to her father either. I’ve been monitoring his daily activities. Tina claims she hasn’t heard from her either. It’s like the earth swallowed her.
“Where are you?” I say to myself.
My phone beeps.
Ava: Who is this?
I can’t believe she answered
Viktor: Ava, it’s me, Viktor. Come home
Ava: I don’t know any Ava. You have the wrong number.
