Love Over Everything

Chapter Seven

The situation got worse as soon as Vivian left Christopher’s office. He could not concentrate on the work he had to do as he kept on replaying the conversation with Vivian on his head. As a result of that, he decided to retire to his apartment earlier than usual.

Christopher couldn't imagine how much his life had changed in 72 hours. He met Naomi, the first person he ever felt something for and then, she disappeared before he knew it and now that he was close to finding her and making her his, Vivian showed up with unexpected news.

He knew Vivian was very much obsessed with him which was why he tried to avoid her because he knew she was up to something but he never thought she would stoop so low by finding a way to get pregnant so he would be tied to her.

The sound of the doorbell brought Christopher out of his thoughts. He went to answer it. It was Andre and Ruben, his close friends. He called them earlier because he needed someone to talk to before he goes crazy and they promised to come over after they close from work.

Andre and Ruben gave Chris a brotherly hug before they stepped into his apartment. They each took a seat on different couches and Ruben broke the silence.

“Here’s what you asked for?” He passed a brown sealed envelope to Chris. It contained all of Naomi’s information.

“Thank you,” Chris muttered after collecting the envelope from Ruben. He placed it on a small table beside him, sighed and then spoke: “I’m in some deep shit guys; Vivian has finally ruined me!”

“What did she do?”

“I thought you told me she promised to keep her distance?”

Ruben and Andre asked respectively.

“I thought the same too. I thought she was finally over me until she appeared at my office earlier today with a doctors’ report confirming that she was pregnant.”

“What???” Ruben screamed in horror.

“Shit!.” Andre cursed. “Are you sure this child is yours? Is she even pregnant?” He asked.

“I remember waking up naked next to her so I won’t deny the fact that something happened between us. I think she’s pregnant because she said she was willing to undergo any form of DNA test to prove that the baby is mine if I can’t wait till he or she is born.”

“The Doctors report was signed by Doctor Crawford, my family doctor. I called him as soon as Vivian left my office and he confirmed that Vivian was Pregnant.”

“So what are you going to do now?” Ruben asked.

Christopher ran his fingers through his already messy hair. “I don’t know but Vivian is insisting we get married as soon as possible.”

“She’s pretty smart; She got pregnant to lure you into marriage. She really has no shame.” Ruben concluded.

“She’s dreaming if she thinks I’ll get married to her. I don’t love her, hell, I can’t even stand her presence. I told her I’ll support the child in every way I can but she kept on ranting that she would never have our baby out of wedlock.”

“To be honest, Vivian is pretty manipulative. She didn’t come this far for you to say you won’t get married to her. I think you have no choice but to marry her.” Andre said sincerely.
