Chapter Nineteen

Adelaide

No one needs to know until I figure out exactly how to handle this. I think...I think I’m set on keeping it, which is not how I imagined handling this situation. Here we are though. Of course, keeping it opens up so many doors, makes me uncertain of everything going on.

How am I going to explain this to my father? If he knows that I’ve been sleeping with Christian, he’ll throw a fit. He’ll probably kill Christian. I wish I was over exaggerating. But Carlo has always been strict. He wants the best for me. He wouldn’t see Christian as the best because Christian isn’t at the top.

What does this mean for Christian and me? Are we something serious? No...right? Because fuck. I don’t know. I feel things for Christian. I feel all these things that I don’t know how to describe, things that I’ve never felt before. Underneath it all, I don’t think things could work between Christian and me. He doesn’t understand. He’ll never understand what I want to do.

And that brings me to the biggest problem with being pregnant. No one views pregnant women as powerful people. They see them as weak, fragile. People who need to be handled carefully. No man is going to take orders from a pregnant woman. Being pregnant risks losing my power. So, either I can be okay with that – or I can figure out a way to cement my power before people realize that I’m pregnant.

That means...moving my plan up. I can fix two of my problems by doing that. Carlo won’t have to know about my pregnancy if he’s not around for it. If I can get rid of him before I start showing, problem solved. It’s not preferred, because it means rushing things. I don’t like to rush. That’s when things get sloppy, get risky. I don’t think I have much of a choice though.

For now, I just keep putting on the façade that I need to. Nothing is wrong. I’m not planning a damn thing aside from what I’m supposed to be planning. Even Christian can’t know about the Carlo thing. I told him I’d consider seeing things his way, that I wouldn’t fixate on killing my father. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him. And when he figures it out? I’m pregnant with his child. What’s he going to do about it?

I have another meeting with Yulian. He’s probably going to start thinking I have an interest in him again. I don’t. I just know he has a use. He’s someone that I can trust. Hopefully, he’ll realize that before he gets too in his head about it.

Coming down the stairs, I hear voices. Not unusual. I try to figure out who they belong to. I can tell one is Damien, I’ve heard his voice around the house for years. The other, I’m not quite sure of. Doesn’t matter. I’m more interested in what they’re saying.

“Look, don’t you think it’s weird? I mean, he walks in and Carlo immediately trusts him.
