《VERDICT OF LOVE》Chapter 2
Advertisement
Steering into the garage I put the car into park, stepping out of the car I left the key on the key holder.
I stare at the vast wooden glass door with fear of what might be of my fate if the door opens.
Dad prefers living in a luxurious homely environment since my Mum loves flowers she had a small garden for visitors for site seeing.
I fist my hand while the other wrap around the knob but before I could open the door it's pulled open reviewing Kate our cook. She was the one who practically raised me showing me a bit of a mother's love.
She smiles warmly leaving the door open for me to come in "is Dad and Mom inside? " I inquire with a smile.
I walk into the kitchen placing my bag on the counter before opening the mini-fridge for an apple juice because my nerves are in overdrive.
"your mum..." she was cut off by sounds of laughter coming from my Dad's office and little footsteps running towards me.
"Aunt Shiloh" Edward yells running towards me before draping his little hand around my legs.
A handsome little boy, he is a replication of his dad, except for the color of his hair which he got from Sylvia.
I pull him up placing him on my hip kissing his chubby cheeks making him laugh "so how is my favorite nephew doing" I say grinning widely pushing down my nervousness away for now.
"fine, I made a boat today in class using two sheets of paper," he says proudly.
I took my apple juice from the counter before using the other to place him properly on my hip then made my way towards the living room laughing as Edward tells me about his day, I place him on the couch before taking a seat close to him drinking from the glass of apple juice.
"where is your Mum(Sylvia)?" I ask helping him arrange his building toy.
"she is with Grandma, Grandpa, and Dad," He says.
"Oh, Shiloh you are back," Mum says walking towards us dressed in a summer black gown reaching below her knees and brown hair curled and left open looking beautiful as always.
"hey mum" I greet with a smile from my place on the couch, Sylvia, Garrett and Dad walk down the stairs walking towards the living room "hey big girl," Sylvia says welcoming me into an embrace.

"I was thinking you were never coming to visit" I joke as we both laugh.
"of course not I can never let you have a minute of rest" she winks.
I laugh "brother-in-law what a wonderful surprise, " I say grinning while Dad scoops Edward from the floor hugging him to his chest
Dad sends a smile towards my direction before speaking," what have you been up to Shiloh? " Dad asks taking a sit on the couch placing Edward on his lap.
I gulp down nervously fear running through me, does he know? no, it can't be.
I blinked twice " Um... Everything is going fine, classes resume next week " I say coolly hiding any trace of fear in me before sitting back on the settee with Sylvia while mum sits with Dad then Garrett sits on the armchair.
My phone vibrates from the front pocket of my jeans, I pulled it out seeing it was a text message from Emma "what was their reaction" she asks concerning sharing the news with my family.
"I am yet to tell them" I text back.
"you have to let them know to get it off your chest" she text back.
She is right I have to get this out of my system it's not like I can keep it from them forever" I will do it soon" I text back.
I tuck my phone back into my pocket before looking up to find everyone chatting and laughing, finding little confidence in Emma's words.
You can do this.
I need a little time maybe tomorrow.
No, I have to do this right now.
Huh, I sigh inwardly.
"I have something to say and it's very important," I say not meeting anyone's gaze.
The place becomes quiet, I anxiously look up to meet Dad's intense stare, Edward and Garrett were no longer in the room.
"I...I...I..." I can say this?.
I exhale and inhale my chest hurting as everyone waits patiently for me to continue, Sylvia places her hand on mine getting my attention " Shiloh relax you are having an anxiety attack " she says worriedly.
I exhale directing my gaze on the most precious floor "Iampregnant" I sprint out in one breath.
"Darling calm down we can't get what you are trying to tell us," Mum says concern lacing her voice.
"I am pregnant, " I say reluctantly.
My words lingered in the air as silence enveloped us.

I shift my gaze towards Dad meeting his sizzling gaze, the anger in them making me flinch back.
Mom and Sylvia looked thunderstruck, the couch feels hot from their intensified gaze making me squirm.
"what? " Sylvia asks jumping from the couch in anger and shock evident on her face.
My gaze focuses down to my feet feeling like a disappointment to my family" does Chance know you are pregnant? " she asks calmly which is very surprising.
I shake my head in a no with tears threatening to spill, she fell back on the couch shaking her head in disappointment.
"Shiloh I am so disappointed in you, how can you do this to yourself, forgetting which family you are from," Mom says angrily glimmer of tears in her eyes.
My heart broke from the words she said, never had my mum called me a disappointment or looked at me with some much pain in her eyes.
But she is right how can I be so stupid to let this happen "Mum please don't say that, it was a mistake on my path but please don't " I plead with tears running down my cheeks, I can't tolerate seeing my mum in pain and also because of me.
"I gave you everything, we made plans together," she says in outrage while Sylvia tries to stop her from saying more " but what did you do? go get yourself pregnant by that playboy who doesn't even respect you or care," she says bitterly.
I shake my head "no he loves me and he cares, I am sure he will accept this child " I say with all confidence.
My parents were never happy with my relationship with Chance saying he is a rake, very aggressive, arrogant, and filled with pride lavishing his father's money.
I tried to let them know he loves me but gave up because they were standing their ground but I had my sister backing always.
Strangely quiet Dad stood suddenly from his chair" Shiloh I never expected this from you but it seems you are all grown up now and can take care of yourself and a baby" he says maliciously "so I am giving you the freedom to do what so ever you like, leave this house with your belongings" he orders calmly.
"Dad please I can't survive on my own" I pleaded desperately.
"I am not done talking, " he says angrily "your car, bank cards will be confiscated, I will take care of your college fees and the rest is up to you"
"you are not allowed to mention this family's name or come near us until you become responsible and made something of your life" he continues has sobbing rank my body, Mum, and Sylvia also in tears.
"leave this house within 45 minutes" he turns to look at me with pain and anger evident in his eyes "I warned you about that chap so bear the consequences of your actions," he says walking away towards the stairs.
I ran towards him standing in front of him blocking him from taking a step forward " Dad please, forgive me. Dad, you can't do this to me, please. Please " I dropped on my knees for him to take his orders back.
He shoves me out of his way walking up the stairs, I run towards Mum pleading " Mum please help me speak with Dad. I know it's my mistake but please Mum. I am still your little girl, right? " I say hugging her tightly.
I cried for what it's worth because no one can ever change my father's decision, he never goes back on his word but I just wish he could take his words back or Mum could try speaking to him.
She did something that would never be erased from my memory "Kate" she yells, I pull away from her confused, Kate came running from the kitchen" pack everything that belongs to Shiloh send it out of this house" she orders while Kate nods in reply before giving me a look of sympathy listening to everything that went on.
Mum glance back at me "you know how your father is, he will never listen to a word anyone says" she takes my hands in hers "I want you to live with Chance even if I don't like him but this is the only way I can think of, but it for a few months until I get your father to bring you back" she says tears in her eyes before leaving.
Sylvia hugs me tightly "it will be okay," she says leaving me mystified standing in the same spot before dropping on my knees stuffing my face into my palms and quaking with sobs.
I drown in self-pity, feelings of lonesomeness overwhelming my heart.
I lost everything just in one day.

I took his hand and gasped at the delicious shockwaves traveling up my arm. He pulled me closer to him, so I was standing in between his legs. I wasn't sure what to say, so I ran my fingers through his hair, noticing for the first time the bits of red streaked through the dark brown, and smiled when he growled in delight. He leaned his forehead down, so it was resting on my belly and wrapped his arms around my back. "We should talk about this." He whispered with his head still on my stomach. I nearly didn't hear him. I was too focused on the sparks tingling through my arms as I caressed his back and continued my gentle assault through his hair."Ok. What should we talk about?" He took a deep breath and I watched as his shoulders slumped."I'll understand if you reject me. No one wants a defective mate."Cover made by @ViaAlyssaNicole
