BRIANNA
"The doctor said my blood doesn't match with her and I need you to come here so I just want to make sure that__".
"That what?". I butted in.
"That she's actually my daughter".
"What? So you mean that Lauren isn't your daughter? Dad, how on earth__".
"We are not sure yet ". He interrupted me over the phone.
"Oh".
"And that's why I need you to come, please, Brianna. I need this". He added.
"Fine, Dad". I said, sighing. "I'll be there in a few minutes".
"Thank you".
I sighed and disconnected the call as I held my phone still thinking about what he said.
Lauren is not his daughter? How is that possible? But he said the blood didn't match according to their doctor? Or could the doctor be wrong?
"Brianna".
I jerk back to reality. "Huh?".
"Brianna". Liam's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
I turn to face him. "Yeah?".
"Is something wrong?". He arched his eye-brows staring at me. "Did your Dad say anything bad to you?".
"Well No. He didn't".
"Then what?". He asked softly. "Why did he call? Was it serious?".
"Lauren is not his daughter". I blurted out.
"What?". Liam sat up straight. "What the hell did you just say?".
"Well my Dad is not sure about that yet but there's a probability that Lauren is not his daughter and that she's not my sister".
"But how?".
"Remember when I said that she needs a blood donor? That my Dad called to ask me to help donate to her?".
"Yeah. I remember. But what has that got to do with this?". He asked furrowing his eye-brows.
"I think my Dad couldn't wait for me so he decided to donate blood himself but his blood didn't match with Lauren's own".
"What? How can that be?".
"Same thing I asked. But I wouldn't doubt it if Lauren turns out to not be his daughter ".
"Why say that?". Liam chuckled, glancing at me. "Do you think her mother placed a fake pregnancy on your Dad?".
I shrugged. "Could be possible. I mean, maybe she got pregnant by another man but decided to pin it on my Dad".
"Yep, I think that's the perfect explanation".
"I would have never thought that Lauren would actually not be my Dad's child".
"I know right". Liam said laughing. "That's pretty messed up".
"Yeah. And to think that I was often tagged as the illegitimate child". I said wistfully. "I mean, now look at what happened. Lauren is not even his biological child at all".
"You'll be fine, Brianna. At least, your Dad is sorry for what happened. I guess that will be enough, right?".
"You won't forgive him?".
"I've forgiven him a long time ago. All I only needed was for him to be sorry".
"I guess you've gotten your chance now".
"Yeah". I muttered.
"So are you going to the hospital? You know, to donate blood? So we can maybe find out if Lauren is related to you or not".
"Yeah, you are right. I guess we should head on to the hospital. I'll just ask my Dad to text me the location".
"Okay". He replied, pecking my lips.
"So where's Lili?". I looked around. "Don't tell me we forgot about her all this while?".
"Oh Lilliana". He chuckled. "She's probably with her baby brother and sister".
"Oh right, I forgot". I said laughing.
"I won't blame her though, she has been asking for a sibling all this while. And you just came like that and granted her wish like the angel you are".
"Well I wouldn't say granted. I'm pretty sure Lili blew a magic powder on me and that's why I became pregnant".
He laughed heartily. "Or you can say that".
"Yeah". I grinned. "I can say that".
"So this Lauren stuff, you gonna tell your crazy best friend, Chloe?".
"Chloe is not crazy". I retorted. "She's just the type to react with anger".
He snorted loudly. "Yeah right".
"Liam .. ". I pouted cutely. "Come on, you can't say that about Chloe. She's my own best friend".
"Fine, fine, sorry".
"Good".
"So you're gonna tell her!".
"Yeah. I'll send her a text message but where did Lucas take her to anyways?".
He shrugged. "I don't know".
"Williams Paige ... ". I was warned. "You are lying".
"Chloe is pregnant".
"What!!?". I shrieked.

CHLOE HOUSTON
Lucas glanced at me, winking sweetly as I became nervous of the gazes on me from the workers around staring at us.
My cheeks flushed as he called me fiancee and I realized that soon, I'll be his wife. It's like a dream come true.
I couldn't stop myself from blushing as I found it hard to take in that he actually brought me here to shop for the wedding.
Yeah, speaking of that ... I wonder what our wedding is going to be like ... Hmph.
"Right this way, Sir". The manager said as he snapped me out of my thoughts.
I held on to Lucas's hand nervously as we were led to another part of the shop which was really exquisite and glittering wedding gowns were displayed there.
Jeez! I have never been to a bridal shop before and this is magnificent.
I looked at the displayed beautiful gowns there with a bemused smile on my face. I looked sideways at Lucas and he winked at me, making me blush.
"So what now?". I asked excitedly.
Why won't I be excited? This is my first wedding. I mean, yep, like I'm really getting to Lucas Knights. This is amazing.
One of the gowns was taken down and I examined it admiringly. I was being led into their changing room when I stopped seeing that Lucas was behind me.
"What are you doing!". I asked, turning to face him.
"Huh! I was just__".
"You stay back and I go change. Hm?". I said, interruptingy him.
"Fine".
I giggled as he walked back exasperatedly and I followed the worker into one of their changing rooms.
I wanted to take off my clothes when I heard a beep from my pocket. I dipped my hand in it bringing out my phone.
A text from Brie. Hm. What does she want to say! Or is she still angry about that Nick incident earlier this morning?
Well it wasn't my fault anyways. At least, I did it for all. To me, Nicholas is a jerk and will always be a jerk.
Brie is just too softhearted to see that, she is always softhearted to see through things.
I click on the message and read every bit of it gasping as I read the content. Then from surprise, I bursted into laughter after I read it.
Geez! So there's a possibility of Lauren not being Gustave's daughter? Wow. Karma is a bitch after all.
I giggled still finding the whole situation funny and I walked out of the changing room to go show Lucas what I just saw.
I paused on seeing him with Miranda, is she still alive! I thought she gave up. I really need to send someone to the hospital.
