Chapter 09
” Hey, are you okay? ” I heard the masculine voice again.
Is that Tyler?, He sounds like that right?.
But why should he care?.
I ignored my thoughts and stood up, finding my way to the door.
I switched the lock open and my view came face to face with an unfamiliar guy.
” Hey ” He called but I kept mute, studying his facial structure.
Wait, isn’t that the guy who startled me?, Great, is he here to mock me again?.
” Hey, are you okay?, I’m so sorry for startling you ” He said, breaking me out of my thoughts.
” Um, yeah, it’s fine ” I said and he nodded with a light smile.
” So, you’re Tyler’s cousin? ” He asked and I raised my brow.
” Huh?… Oh yeah, I am ” I replied nervously, itching my head and he nodded.
” So… ”
” Brian let’s go ” Tyler cut him off from the other end and I turned to look at him and he has this displeasing look on.
” Alright then, bye ” Brian waved at me and I waved back while I watched as he walked over to Tyler who scoffed as they both walked away.
What’s wrong with him?.
I reminisced on our previous meeting at the hospital and compared it to now, it’s totally different.
He was clearly flirting with me then, but now, what changed?.
Or, do I look different and ugly now?, It was then I realized I was clearly dressed In a fitting and normal girly dress then, looking pretty as I had always looked.
But now, I looked up at the mirror before me, I looked so.. odd, ugly and fat.
Is that why he’s acting strange?, But wait, he should act strange, am his cousin.. he can’t have a thing with me, yeah, that’s why.
I laid on my bed with a sigh, but how is he supposed to fall for me if he regards me as his cousin?.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Gosh, I don’t think all these could ever work out, and I’m sure Mrs Bills had thought about this well before she agreed to this.
She’s really cunning, but that shouldn’t stop me right?, I should try, I mean I’m carrying his baby and I don’t wanna be a single mother, at least I should do this for my baby.
Yeah, Marvy, you just have to try, try..
With these, I fell into a deep sleep.

These two were finally back, I was seated in the living room with my headphones on, I removed it gently when I heard footsteps approaching.
My eyes landed on Tyler who had this usual cold look on as he walked over to the dining room and sat on one of the chairs while Brian walked over to me with a smile on and I shifted nervously on my seat leaving enough spacd but he sat on the other couch next to me and my cheeks reddened in embarrassment and I groaned mentally.
I’m really dumb, ain’t I?. Can’t believe I was expecting him to sit beside me?, Not like we were friends.
” Hey ” He finally said with this charming smile of this and I couldn’t help but melt slowly.
Hey, grab a hold of yourself!, You should focus on Tyler and no one else.
My eyes moved to Tyler and I scoffed inwardly as he was seated doing his stuffs, he doesn’t care at all, why should I?
* ‘Cause he’s your baby daddy! * My Subconscious snapped at me and I bit my lips slowly before turning to Brian who wondered why I was lost.
” Hey ” He called and I smiled lightly at him and took a last glance at Tyler before turning fully to him. He had traced my gaze earlier and noticed it was Tyler whom I was staring at then and he has this smirk playing on his lips.
He suddenly moved closer to me while I shrink back, moving back from him but he kept moving in till we were just some inches away from each other.
Wait!, Is he a flirt just like Tyler?.
” Don’t tell me you have a crush on your cousin? ” He asked and I choked on my spit immediately and I began coughing coherently while he moved away with this smile on his face like he had gotten what he wanted.
” Here miss ” I heard a voice and I turned to see a maid holding a glass of water with her. I gladlu collected it and gulped it down before muttering a *thanks*.
” That confirmed it ” He said with a smile while I raised my brow I’m confusion.
Excuse me!, I don’t even know Tyler, let’s accept the fact that I’m carrying his baby but that doesn’t mean I love him or something. Tho I’m trying to make him love me as per orders but I don’t.
And what makes him think I would even fall for my cousin, that’s weird and stupid. Aren’t cousins supposed to be ones family members?, Why would a sane person fall in love with her cousin?.
” What do you mean? ” I asked.
” You’re in love with Tyler, aren’t you? ” He asked and I raised my brows.
” Huh? ” I asked.
” Hmm, you were clearly lost staring at him, that’s a prove you probably like him ” He said and I scoffed.
If only he knows how much I wished I wasn’t here!, Or how much I hated the fact that I ever knew Tyler!, He wouldn’t be saying all these.
” Isn’t that a bad thing?, Why should I fall for him when he’s my cousin? ” I asked confusedly and he only smiled at me before suddenly standing.
” I should excuse you “He said and without waiting for a response, walked away leaving me in confusion.
Why do I feel like something’s wrong?, Why do I feel like he was actually playing me or trying to get a fact from me?.
Did Tyler send him here?. I directed my gaze to those two who were seated in silence, their focus, on their phone.
Gosh, I’m confused as hell!.
