Ethereal Resonance Chapter 8

At hospital

Doctor:- SHE IS PREGNANT

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

*Shocked*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Surprised*

The doctor conducted the tests and confirmed that Bella is two months pregnant. Emerson was shocked, but Bella was feeling happy.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

*Clench his fist angrily* (No, it's not what I want)

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Look at him* Alex... Are you not happy?

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

I want to talk with you *Cold*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

(May be he is not ready.) *Nods*

Bella started to feel sad as she knew this is not what Emerson wanted. However, it's not in her hands. They never used protection, and taking contraceptive pills daily would only cause her more health problems.

After some time

They are both standing somewhere far from the crowd of the hospital, alone. Bella is nervous to hear his reaction to the news they just received.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

I will respect your decision, but I don't want this child. *Cold*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Shocked* Alex, we can prepare ourselves for this responsibility and...

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

Not we, Bella. In this, you will be alone. If you carry this thing inside your belly, then it's only you who will be responsible.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

You can't be serious? *Tears start forming in eyes*

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

I'm not joking, Bella. I'm serious. I don't want this child. Even if you give birth to this child, he will not get my name. *Cold*

Tears started to flow down from her eyes. Her heart clenched with sadness and hurt, but Emerson seemed determined with his words and actions.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

Are you having doubts... about this child not being yours? *In a crying tone* I know you have trust issues, but we can perform a DNA test. I swear, it's only yours.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

I'm not doubting it, but I just don't want anything related to me to become my weakness. The baby needs full protection until he or she is mature. If any of our enemies target that child, I don't want to feel hurt. So it's better if neither I nor you feel any emotion about this thing.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

I suggest you consider aborting this child. We are enough for each other.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Feeling numb* Alex, let's not make rushed decisions. We can take some time to think about it.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

It's not too late now. We just got the news, and it won't be that hard to let go of these feelings.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

But I want this baby, Alex. *She said, while controlling her tears.* I know you're not ready, but I'm sure you will be eventually.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

You are not understanding

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

I'm ready to give my baby my name. I can raise my baby well. I don't need any man's support to bring my baby into this world. *Said coldly*

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

*Rolling his eyes* It's not like I'm going to cut off my connections with you or break up with you.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

It's just that we will live normally like before. But if you expect me to give this thing my love and care, then you will be wrong.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Nods* I understand. (I know you will accept this baby sooner or later. I'll not force you now.)

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

(Just why didn't I use protection? Urghh, now I can't force Bella for an abortion. This is such a messed up situation.)

They both stare at each other. Bella could sense his anger, but one thing is for sure: she is not going to give up on her baby.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

Let's go. We need to ask the doctor about your health and medications. *said coldly, holding her arm harshly.*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Hissed in pain* (He is angry, but I'll not back off)

Emerson dragged her back to the doctor's cabin and took the medicine list from the doctor. He was annoyed because of her decision but also aware that, no matter what, he would not force her into anything against her will.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Silently sitting inside the car,* By the way, I don't mind if I continue working in your office, as your secretary, just in case if you are thinking about replacing me.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

I'll never replace you as my woman. Only you deserve that position. And about working, that will depend on your health status. I don't want a clumsy secretary at my office either.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

Now that was rude. you can give better answer.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

I'm stating the fact. After seeing your mistakes over the past few weeks, as the boss of the company, I could conclude that you will be replaced soon. *Cold*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

How cruel. I'll curse my boss then. He will never find anyone more decent and cute than me if he dares to replace me.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

Oh, looks like someone's offended. But that's how it works, Bella. If someone leaves, then we have to find another person to fill their place.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

That means If I die someday, will you replace me with someone else by giving my place to that girl? *Annoyed*

And here, she doesn't realize that her words act as fuel to his anger, which he tries to suppress within himself.

He punched the steering wheel in anger and looked straight into her eyes with a menacing look.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Feel scared* I... I... mean

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

Better watch your words and actions. I won't hesitate to get violent if you continue with this nonsense. *Cold*

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

Mark my words, Bella. If anything happens to you because of anyone, even if it's this thing inside you or anyone else, including me, I won't hesitate to unleash hell upon them, ensuring they suffer in ways nightmares couldn't conjure.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Feel sudden shiver* Alex

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

I'm being so lenient with you to let you keep this baby. My mood is already spoiled, so don't make it worse. *Cold*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

Okay, calm down. I was just kidding. Nothing will happen to me. And this baby is the key to our happiness. She or he can't be a threat.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

I don't care if she is the key or the lock. All that matters in my life is you. Better keep this in your mind, or else you'll know why Emerson Alexander D'Angelo is popular for his cruelty.

Bella's hand already started trembling as she could sense he got extremely angry. She indeed touched a sensitive topic. She shouldn't have mentioned anything that triggered Emerson. But it just slipped from her tongue, and she is regretting it now, trying hard to lighten up his mood, even though she is scared to death herself.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

Okay, honey. Can we go to the office, or are you planning to give me a full-day holiday? *Trying to lighten up his mood*

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

*Glance at her angrily*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Frozen in her place*

Emerson looked at her for the last time, himself aware that his anger is slipping out of his control.

He is aware that no matter how bad the situation gets, he can't hurt Bella. He doesn't want to say or do anything that he will regret once his anger subsides.

So he is trying his best to keep his anger to himself. He was already pissed off after knowing the reason for Bella's weakness from early morning. He is more worried and concerned about her health than getting angry.

He slowly started to calm himself. He could sense that he had already scared Bella. But he needed time to understand the changes coming to his life.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

No more holidays. You have to compensate for the half day I gave you with extra work at the office. *Cold*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Smile lightly* (ThankGod, He is back to normal.)

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

Yes sir *Said with smile*

WITH MAXON DALTON

On the other side, after being discharged from the hospital, Maxon takes Valencia with him. After investigating thoroughly, he didn't find anything suspicious. All the information he gathered indicated that she had run away from a brothel where she was used as a s*x slave. So Maxon didn't see any harm in appointing her as their maid.

Valencia Kade (Fl)

*Silently walking behind Maxon*

Maxon Dalton (Ml BFF)

So welcome to the D'Angelo mansion. This is where you're supposed to work. You'll get a room in the maid's quarters and three meals a day in return for your service.

Maxon takes Valencia to the D'Angelo mansion instead of taking her to his own mansion. He truly doesn't need any new maids, but since there is a vacancy for a maid at the D'Angelo house, he takes her there after Valencia agrees to work as a maid to earn money.

Valencia Kade (Fl)

*Nods*

Maxon Dalton (Ml BFF)

*Calls the head maid* Now she will assist you and explain your duties more clearly.

After telling her this, Maxon takes his leave. The head maid tells Valencia everything related to her work and shows her around the mansion.

Valencia Kade (Fl)

*Look at the mansion*

Valencia Kade (Fl)

(So I'm finally here) *Smirk*
