Chapter 2....#The next morning
Delaney POV
I woke up by the ringing of the phone, I felt too weak to pick up the call
But when I remembered what happened last night, I stood up abruptly and picked up the call immediately
“Hey Royce, I said with my heart pounding seriously. I heard him scoff on the other line.
“Del, wow, just wow…you were playing me all these years, Royce said as I became confused, I have no idea what he was saying
“Playing you, how? I asked feeling confused.
“Don't worry, you don't need to pretend, I knew you were playing me all along, and you were never serious with the relationship, to begin with, Royce said
“Roy…Ce, I stammered
“That's why I've been playing you to all this while, I have someone serious I want to marry, he said, ending the call without giving me time to speak.
I put down the phone shocked that I had just been played like a fool
When I finally came out of my shock I remembered what had happened last night
I turned to the other side of the bed, but couldn't find the stranger that took my virginity last night.
Not even a trace of him could be found, I didn't see his face clearly because of how dim the lights were
How could he do such a terrible thing to me? I thought as tears ran down my eyes.
I felt ashamed and embarrassed for letting him get inside my pants, I got up and walked into the bathroom quickly trying to wash away the tear tracks from my face.
After taking a hot shower, I wore my clothes and sat on the bed thinking about my life.
Royce has been seeing someone else secretly for three years of our relationship, how could he do something like that?
He's been cheating on me all this while, no wonder the strange behavior.
I lost the man I ever loved and my virginity, I can't stay in America with this embarrassing act of mine.
I decided to leave America for good and forget about Royce, and hide from my embarrassing act.
As much as it hurt me to leave the country, I needed to leave because I feel ashamed of myself
Just when I was about to leave the room, my eyes caught with something glittery under the bed, I reached over the bed and grabbed whatever it was, I held it up to the light and looked at it.
It was an expensive Rolex wristwatch, the stranger must have forgotten it
The wristwatch looks expensive, but it was useless to me, it can't lead me to the man that this virgin me
I exhaled in and out before exiting the room

#London, England
“Are you okay, Del?” I heard Susanna ask from behind me, my head snapped around, and I saw her standing there looking worried.
“I'm fine, I just need some doughnuts” I replied to her, as she scoffed.
“What's with you, Del, you've been eating doughnuts throughout this week, Susanna asked.
Just as I was about to answer her I felt something building in my stomach, suddenly I feel like throwing up.
“I'll be right back, I just have to go to the bathroom.
“I said, turning away from her and running into the toilet as Susanna followed me hurriedly.
As soon as I entered the toilet, I began to vomit profusely.
My body shook as I leaned against the wall and slid down until I was sitting on the ground.
I started gasping for air, trying to regain control over my breathing.
As I tried to calm down, I felt a hand on my shoulder, I looked up and saw Susanna's kind blue eyes looking at me worriedly.
“Del,” she said gently as she kneeled in front of me.
“Are you having malaria, she said, checking my body temperature.
I nodded in reply, I couldn't speak or breathe properly.
“Oh my gosh Delaney, your body temperature is high, you need to see a doctor, it might be a fever, Susanna said worriedly.
Susanna patted my back and stood up, she then helped me stand up and lead me out of the bathroom.
“We need to go to the hospital,” Susanna said as she helped me put one leg after another.
“No, I won't go to the hospital”, I said, shaking my head stubbornly.
Susanna sighed and looked down, she placed a hand on my cheek and looked into my eyes.
“Delaney, I know how much you hate hospitals, but right now.
“Right now I have to lay down for a few minutes, I'm feeling dizzy, I cut Susanna off, walking to the bedroom.
I threw myself onto the bed and curled up into a tight ball. I felt weak and dizzy all of a sudden.
And I've been craving doughnuts for the past weeks, I closed my eyes tightly and fell asleep.
#The_Next_Morning
I opened my eyes and noticed the sun shining through my window and the sound of birds chirping outside.
The events of last night flashed through my mind, I felt sick again, and I knew I had to go to the hospital.
I slowly got up and made my way to the bathroom, I washed my face and brushed my teeth.
I went back to my room and changed into some comfortable clothes, I grabbed my wallet and keys and headed downstairs.
I stopped in my tracks when I saw Susanna, who was sitting in the living room reading a magazine, she seemed to notice me,
“Are you going to the hospital?”.
“I have to go to the doctor's office to get checked” I replied to her.
“Call me when you're done, and I'll come and get you”.
I smiled softly and hugged her, “Thank you so much, I owe you one”.
She nodded
“No problem Del”.
I left and got into the car to drive to the hospital.
Once I arrived at the hospital, I went into the waiting room.
“Excuse me miss where's the doctor's office please”, I said politely to the receptionist
“Follow me”, she told me.
I followed her to the elevator, and we waited patiently until the doors opened.
“Here you are, I wish you luck,” the receptionist said.
I thanked her and stepped into the room.
A nurse with long brown hair and pale skin came out,
“Miss, I'm Dr. Anderson”, she greeted me.
“Hello Dr. Anderson” I greeted back.
“Please take a seat, I will be right back,” she said before disappearing into the room.
I sat down and waited for her to return.
After a few minutes, Dr. Anderson returned with a clipboard in her hands,
“I am Dr. Anderson, I will be your doctor today” she said smiling kindly.
She ran a few tests on me and wrote things down on the clipboard
After some minutes she came in with an envelope, that must be the result of the test she ran on me earlier
She sat down as I waited for her to tell me what is wrong with me.
Dr. Anderson smiled and looked up “Miss Delaney, she paused for a moment and looked at me “congratulations you are two weeks pregnant, she dropped the bombshell as my eyes widen in shock.
