I heard the noises when I left my father’s office, and I decided to wait a bit before entering the lounge. The breakfast lounge was cursed. There was no day that drama wouldn’t occur in that lounge. I was glad that Tia and I had moved away from it. Hearing the conversation, regretted bringing my wife to the Moon mansion. Caleb was trying to get the truth out of his mother, and I admired his strength. Whatever it was, Stacy was really scared because she refused to speak, and it was beginning to bother me. The guy must be dangerous, or the information he had must be complex for her to hold out on her son.

Soon I had enough and walked into the lounge.

“Tia,” I called to my wife, and she stood up and looped her hand with mine. “I guess this is our queue to leave. Caleb, take it easy on your mother,” I advised my brother and was ready to leave. “You are heartless, Luke. I told you my problem, and you refused to help me.” Stacy shot at me.

“I have told you to open up to your mate. I will be stupid to start helping you pay someone that is blackmailing you. Whatever the matter is, you and my father are stuck together forever.

“I know you have moved out, Luke. I know you two are not coming back,” she said, and I laughed.

“Watch your tongue, Stacy. Solve your problem,” I said, and Tia and I left. Stacy was cursing at me, and Caleb kept yelling at her. It was a fiasco.

The moment we stepped out of the mansion, my luck turned sour when Elisabeth arrived. Bart had gone to bring her from the hospital. She stepped out of the car quickly, wearing joggers and a hoody. The hospital had many of those to give out. She looked haggard with ashen skin and dark circles. I did not know why she was doing this to herself. “Luke,” she said, trying to sound hurt, “You just abandoned me there. I am carrying your child, and you showed no care towards me. Then I heard you came and signed me up for psychiatric evaluation. Why? All this to please her? Where was she when everyone hated you and people thought you would amount to nothing? Who warmed your bed then, Luke? I did. I kept you company and loved you. I still love you,” she said in tears, and I had had enough.

You decided you would be doing this alone when you purposefully decided to get pregnant. Please excuse me,” I said and started heading towards my car. Elisabeth said some things, but I wasn’t paying attention anymore. I was done with the place. Tia and I got in, and we drove off. “Eventful,” I said, and she began to laugh. “Breakfast from hell,” she said, and I laughed too.
