Chapter: "Secrets and Struggles"

I sat in my room, my heart racing as I tried to make sense of the chaos that had suddenly engulfed my life. Maleki, my brother, had confronted me about a news article hinting at my pregnancy, and I had to lie to him to keep our secret. I hated lying to him, but I couldn't bear the thought of everyone knowing just yet.

Maleki's concern was genuine, and I knew he only wanted what was best for me. We had always been close, and it tore me apart to keep something so significant from him. As I looked out the window, I couldn't help but wonder how long I could maintain this facade. The truth would eventually come out, and the thought weighed heavily on me.

But it wasn't just Maleki who had caught wind of the rumor. Kendall, my sister with whom I'd had a rocky relationship, had reached out as well. Her message was unexpected, a mix of surprise and a genuine desire to be a part of the baby's life. It was an olive branch, and despite our differences, I couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope that this might be a chance to mend our strained bond.

However, I wasn't ready to share the truth with Kendall either. My emotions were in turmoil, torn between the fear of judgment and the desire to protect what was growing inside me. So, I told her to wait until the baby was born, using the excuse of needing time and space until then, hoping she would remember.

As I sat there, contemplating the web of lies I had woven, my phone buzzed with a message from my younger brother Damien.

Damien: ken told mum n dad that u might be pregnant as if u r
Damien: wtf
Damien: u aren't r u
Damien: it says u read the msg I'm not dumb
Damien: mum n dad didn't believe her
