Ethereal Resonance Chapter 10

At night

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Feeling weak* (This continuous work makes me feel so tired. But if I tell this to Alex, then he will again talk about abortion, which I'm definitely not going to do.)

Bella collected her things and walked outside. She saw Emerson waiting for her outside her cabin. She smiled at him and tried to talk with him, but he just ignored her and held her hand.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

Today has been quite tiring, hasn't it?

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

*Walking silently*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

Tomorrow is my appointment with the doctor. Just letting you know. I'm thinking if you can join me during our lunchtime. I promise I won't mess up with the office hours.

Bella looked at him for some response, but all she got was cold silence. She was feeling overwhelmed with emotions and started to feel hurt.

She needed Emerson, but he had been ignoring her for the last few days. She was scared that he might do something out of anger to hurt the baby.

She trusted him, but still felt afraid of his anger. In this precarious stage of her life, her own partner didn't give her any emotional support or show any love and care, making her sad.

She tried for some more time, but then her sadness started to turn into anger as Emerson still didn't respond. She looked at her hand and clenched her fist before jerking his hand off hers.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*jerk his hand*

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

*Finally look at her*

They both looked at each other in silence, and Bella's eyes started to shine with tears, showing her sadness and pain.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

From tomorrow, you don't need to wait for me. I'll take my own car and go back by myself.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

*Glare at her angrily*

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

(Instead of apologizing, she's giving me this attitude. What does she think of herself?)

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

(I'm tired of trying. It's just a matter of a few more weeks. If your behavior doesn't change, I'll take maternity leave and leave from here as well. I won't let my baby grow up with this hatred in your eyes.) *Eyes teary*

Emerson again held her hand harshly and this time dragged her out of the office. She hissed in pain as his grip on her hand was always very painful, but she didn't mind it.

He threw her inside the car and sat in the driver's seat. The whole ride was filled with silence. Bella was sobbing silently. Emerson listened to her, but decided not to say anything because every time he tried to talk with her, they ended up fighting.

At home

Bella intentionally threw both his and her laptops on the table harshly, then went back to their shared room without having her dinner.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

*Clench his fist*

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

(Can't she understand me for once? She's getting annoyed day by day.)

Valencia Kade (Fl)

*Look at him secretly and smile* (I wish this fight will never end)

At there room

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Crying silently*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

Why can't he understand me for once? Why does he see our baby as a threat or a big responsibility?

At that moment, Emerson came inside the room and sat near her. He was holding a plate of food. Bella looked at him, but then looked away in anger after wiping her tears harshly.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

Eat, if you are done crying *Cold*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Look away* I'm not hungry

Emerson's eyes turned dark, as he never allowed anyone to hurt Bella, not even himself. He held her face and forcefully fed her the first bite.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

You know what? Let's compromise with this situation.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

Compromise?

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

I don't like it. You're so stubborn. But now, if you want it, then I can't ignore you and this thing inside you that causes you so much pain.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Roll her eyes* Our baby

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

I know this is my fault, and you love to raise this thing. But let's keep this secret.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Frown*

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

I don't want anyone to know about this pregnancy. Only our household workers and a few of my most trusted people will know.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

I don't understand

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

If this thing turn into boy, then he will not be introduced to the world until he proves that he is capable of protecting himself and will not disappoint me in any matter. There will be a few clauses that he needs to follow after gaining consciousness. Whether he will carry our name as his parents is entirely dependent on his performance.

Bella was shocked after hearing the conditions.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

Are you training a soldier who needs to follow rules and policies created by his dad? Or are you keeping it secret like a weapon?

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

I'm doing this for the baby's safety. *Cold*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

You know what? F**k off *Grit her teeth*

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

That's the best way to protect him. If our enemies find out, they will surely try to harm him. So it's better to keep him in the dark until he proves he can survive.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

And what if she's a girl? *Asked*

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

The conditions will be the same. This baby is definitely a big responsibility, and we can't ignore that we are always surrounded by enemies. *Cold*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

That's disgusting

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

That is what it is.

Bella knows that arguing with Emerson is like hitting her head against a wall. So she gives up, thinking that finally, he is ready to accept the baby.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

*Feed her another bite*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Eyes teary and hug him tightly* You are so bad

Emerson hugged her tightly and put the plate aside. He made her sit in his lap and caressed her cheeks lovingly.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

But we closed the deal, knowing who we are. You know my background and what I'm like.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Nods and sobbing*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

It's not a deal, stupid, it's love. And I love you so much.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

More than this thing?

Bella looked at Emerson with disbelief in her eyes, but then she laughed, finding it cute.

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

*Chuckled* I love you both.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

Now I have a sharing partner, and it's so frustrating. I should use protection to protect my Bella from this thing inside you. *Annoyed*

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

Don't worry, once our baby is born, you will love to hear "dada" from him or her. And I know it's only you who will love our baby the most. *Said softly*

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

Nonsense

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

That we will see *Smirk*

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

*kisses her lips* Let's finish this dinner, or you'll be my dinner next

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

No, we won't do anything. You know it could be dangerous for our baby.

Emerson Alexander D'Angelo (Ml)

*Frowns* You know my needs, and you have to...

Bella Hale (Ml Gf)

Daily intimacy is not good, Mr. D'Angelo, specially when your girlfriend is pregnant.
