Chapter 6: The Threat

"What!"

Georgia lowered her head in fear as she stared at the angry looks on their faces.  

Madam Kate's expression suddenly turned cold and stoic. She looked up at Georgia who averted her angry gaze. 

Pregnant? With who? She doesn't want to believe it was with Smith. She wouldn't dare get pregnant with him. 

"What's wrong with you? What are you saying?"Olivia asked as she dragged her into a place beside the hall room. 

"Nothing is wrong with me. I'm pregnant mum,"she muttered with her voice laced with pain and sadness. 

"With how? How can you get pregnant now?"her mother asked in an angry tone. 

She scoffed loudly and rolled her eyes at her mother. 

"What do you mean? I'm old enough to give birth, right?"she grunted, and her mother shook her head with a sigh. 

"I never said you're not old enough to give birth,"

"That isn't the matter right now. I need to know who is responsible for the baby,"

"Mum,"she groaned, trying to mask the frustrated look on her face. 

"Who's the father of the child?" Her mother snapped at her angrily, and she shook her head with a sigh. 

"Olivia, what are you both discussing over there?"

"You'd better stop whatever you're discussing and come over here,"

"She need to explain how she got pregnant,"

Her heart shook in fear as she heard her grandma's cold and angry voice. 

She wonders how she's going to handle this question. She knows what her Grandma can do whenever she's angry. 

She took a deep breath and returned to the hall room where her grandma was waiting for her, especially her explanation. 

"What did you say happened the other time?" Madam Kate asked to confirm her assumption. 

She can't possibly be pregnant. She dare not. And if she's supposed to get pregnant then it should be for Edward Jones. 

"You'd better talk before I lose my mind,"she warned as she stood up from the chair. 

Georgia swallowed the saliva in her throat as she moved closer to her Grandma. 

"Yes, I'm pregnant…"she stammered. 

"What!?"

"And who's the father of the unborn child?"she asked, her voice cold and hostile.

Georgia knew better not to lie to her Grandma especially when she's angry. She's going to find out herself with her influential power. 

"Erm it…"she stammered, unaware of what to say. 

"It's what?"

"I said who's the father of your unborn child? Who's responsible for the pregnancy?" Madam Kate roared and her voice echoed in the room. 

The fear bubbled inside Georgia as she watched her Grandma react in such a way when she hadn't mentioned the name of the baby father. 

"I'm sorry, grandma. I can't tell you,"

"I just came to inform you that I'm pregnant,"she muttered with a sigh. 

Her grandma's voice made her stop on her track. "You'll cease to be the Rodriguez family if you leave this please now,"

Georgia suddenly stopped and turned her gaze to her Grandma who seemed serious. She knows better not to leave the room because she's a woman of her word. 

"Please pardon your granddaughter's mother,"her mother interrupted. 

"Don't interfere with this, Olivia,"she replied curtly. 

Olivia shook her head with a sigh and stepped backward. Who's she to go against her mother? 

"Why are you hesitant to tell me the father of the child, huh? Who is he? Just let me know,"

"Don't feel ashamed," madam Kate said, seeing how skeptical Georgia is. 

"Is it Edward? I won't hesitate to throw Smith away so you can marry Edward,"she said. 

"Fine. Smith is the father of my unborn child," Georgia crimped her fingers. 

"Smith!?"

"How's that possible?"

"You've that good for nothing man child in you,"

"How could you, Georgia?" Madam Kate asked angrily, and she lowered her head in fear. 

"I'm sorry grandma,"she muttered. 

How could she explain to them that he was drunk when he slept with her? She seduced him. 

"You're not pregnant for Edward but for Smith of all people! Why are you head bent on disgracing this family?" Her Grandma yelled out, her voice laced with anger and hatred. 

"I'm sorry, grandma,"she muttered as she lowered her head in shame.

How could her granddaughter dare to be pregnant for no one but Smith of all people? 

   

It's a disgrace and slap to the face of the Rodriguez family that her eldest granddaughter who's the hottest and latest model in the town is pregnant for a good for nothing live-in son-in-law. 

Someone she's not proud of. 

She can't let that happen under her watch. 

"Since you're not pregnant for Edward then you'll have to abort this pregnancy,"

Georgia's heart skipped in fear the moment her grandma uttered the word with her face filled with seriousness. 

"I can't, grandma. I can't abort the baby. Smith also deserves…" she stopped abruptly as a hot slap landed at the left side of her cheeks. 

"How dare you talk back to your grandma? You'd better not go against me," her grandma warned. 

"I can't, grandma," she said despite the excruciating pain she felt on her cheeks. 

Though she doesn't love Smith, she can't afford to abort his child. It's still her child anyway. 

He's not aware that he's the father of her child. He was drunk when she had sex with him so he couldn't remember anything about that night. 

She didn't know that night would result in this. 

Madam Kate gritted her teeth angrily as she picked her phone from the table. She fumed with anger. 

She's really angry that her granddaughter is going against her because of that good for nothing live-in son-in-law. 

Georgia watched as her grandma picked up her phone and dialed a number. 

Madam Kate placed the phone beside her ear after the third ring. 

"Why are you taking time to pick up my call?" She asked angrily over the other side of the phone. 

The doctor, Lincoln, shook in fear after hearing her cold and dominant voice over the other side of the phone. 

"I'm sorry ma'am. May I know the reason for your call?"

"What am I hearing? Is it true that Georgia is pregnant?"

"Yes, she is. I apologize for not calling to congratulate you, madam Kate," he said, unknowingly bubbling anger inside her. 

"Who told you that I need your congratulations?"

"Georgia is coming to the hospital tomorrow to abort the pregnancy," Georgia eyes widened at her Grandma outburst. 

What!? Abortion? Her heart raced in fear. 

"And you make sure that Smith doesn't know about this…"

"I don't think that's possible anymore,"Lincoln said. 

"What do you mean?"

"Smith already knew about the pregnancy and he was the one who paid for the…" Lincoln suddenly stopped when he realized what he was about to say. 

"I'll call you later ma'am. I've patients to attend to,"he quickly hung on the call.

"Why did you inform him? Paid for what?"

What! Madam Kate widened in shock as reality hit her. 

How did he manage to know? 

Could it be that he was the one who paid the surgery fund? 

She remembered how confident Smith looked and sounded. Is it the proof he wanted to show them in the hospital?

Though she doesn't want to believe he paid for the surgery fund, all accusations were pointing at him. 

She bit her lips as she concluded it was him. Her face turned pale, and she clenched her fist with an angry look on her face. 

She felt a stab of annoyance and disappointment after she remembered how she prayed for the anonymous person who turned out to be her live-in son-in-law.

How did he manage to get such an amount of money? In as much she wanted to find out, she knows she has something more important to battle with. 

"Georgia," madam Kate called. 

Georgia stared at her grandmother fearfully as she dropped her phone on the table after making the phone call.

"Grandma…" she shuddered in fear.  

"You're going to the hospital next thing tomorrow morning to abort that bastard child inside of you,"

"And if you refuse, you'll cease to be the member of the Rodriguez family. And you'll be dragged out of the house to suffer in the street," her grandmother threatened.
