The Only Man Chapter 17

Amora put her index finger to her lips asking me to close my mouth. Not long after, my mother and Kevin's mother came to me

“wow you finished your food Devya, that's great. I thought you were sick so you have no appetite, but watching you finish your meal made me realize that I was wrong.” So, this is the reason Amora did this trick on me. He's very good, but why?

“My son, the dress designer has arrived. I want you to choose your wedding dress.”

I gasped, it hurt so much to have to marry a man I never loved when I was pregnant with the child of the man I love.

"Devya, come on. Don't just daydream."

"yes."

Mother showed me some pictures of very beautiful wedding gowns, but still I felt the pain that scraped my heart. I can't betray Axen, I can't marry a man I don't love.

“Devya, this is good right?”

"devya how about this, it's so beautiful."

"Yes, everything looks very beautiful."

“Mom, can I take Devya somewhere? There's something we want to talk about."

Amora asked me to go, without any conversation we just walked, I saw him walking ahead of me.

"For you."

He gave me cooked meat

"Eat, don't let the creature in your stomach consume your body."

"Thank you, Amara."

We sat in the garden enjoying the air, I finished my meal and started a little conversation with him.

"Sis Amora, thank you."

He just smiled "it is my duty, I am very grateful to you."

I didn't understand what he was saying, I just smiled.

"Sis Amora why are you so nice to me?"

I saw Amora slightly surprised, then she smiled at me

“What advantage do I get from doing evil to you?”

I laughed a little at the answer I got from him.

“Not everyone is bad and not everyone is good. they do something there must be a reason.”

"Devya."

I saw Kevin who walked up to me, he brought a bouquet of flowers for me.

"At least you didn't refuse the flowers I gave you." Kevin's smile, he looks at me with a sad look

Sorry, I don't want to be a nuisance here. Ha ha ha." Amora walked away leaving us

Kevin sat right next to me, he looked at me with the sad expression he felt.

"Why do you look so sad?"

"I'm sorry, I'm a coward for you."

I'm just silent.

“I know if you never love me, I know you will never be happy with our marriage. I realized it all, I was very stupid for not being able to refuse our marriage and make you happy. I'm sorry, for making him go away from you."

Seeing the poor man sitting next to me looking down sadly, made me feel a little sorry but I still hated him.

"It's fine for me to receive harsh treatment from you and by now you definitely hate me."

“You are my little friend, I know what you are like. I don't hate you, I just feel a little disappointed that you didn't support my condition."

"how could that be? You know very well what my mother is like.”

I looked into his eyes, I can't blame him I know how he is right now.

"No, I don't love him. I love you, Kevin."

"what?"

"I don't love that werewolf, he's too bad for me. I'm so happy to be married to you, Kevin."

Axen put his head on my stomach, he rubbed the surface of my stomach with his hand I can feel the movement in my stomach. I stroked Axen's hair

“Dear, is what you said to Kevin true?”

I furrowed my brows in confusion, my hand still stroking him hair

"truth?"

"You're happily married to Kevin and I'm bad for you."

I laughed, I held his face with my hand and kissed his lips

"That is my answer." I smile

I saw him confused, it made me chuckle funny seeing him jealous

"I don't understand, devs."

I kissed his lips again and stroked his hair with my hand

"what is seen is not what is really happening, dear."

Axen's hand held my face he kissed my lips his hand held the nape of my neck, he bit my lip and we sucked each other's lips

"you are jealous?" I teased him again

"I don't know. I just don't like seeing you talking to that guy."

I laughed and kissed his lips again

"That's called jealousy, dear."

"Is that so? Who knows."

I laughed again, and rested his head on my chest my hands were busy stroking his hair and his hands caressing my stomach.

"When we are like this, when I am with you do you feel what I feel?"

"Indeed, how do you feel?" I teased him again, I saw him furrowing his eyebrows annoyed at me I laughed

“Oh yeah, has anyone been close to you besides me and Alex?”

Axen nodded his head

"oh yes? your old girlfriend?”

He looks like he doesn't like what I'm saying, it makes me laugh

"I've never dated anyone, I just love you."

"Gosh, I feel like I'm dead now."

"Because of what?"

"Your love arrow."

We both laughed, seeing how he had changed his life made me so happy to see him slowly starting to understand what human expressions are called.

"I love you so much, Axen."

I fell asleep in his arms, he kept stroking my hair with his hands. I fell fast asleep in his tight arms. I feel so peaceful being in his arms, I don't want this best time to end.

“Can god take care of you for me?” I ask

I stood in front of the mirror, with the sun shining down on where I was standing. I straightened my shirt and brushed my hair.

"I look very beautiful."

"Devya, where are you going?"

I saw mother standing in front of the door

"I want to go to work, ma'am."

"work? But.."

I hugged my mother tightly, I was so happy because she didn't reject my pregnancy.

"Mom, thank you very much. I am very happy to have a mother who is kind and understands the condition of her child, you are the best mother. I'm very grateful that you didn't reject my pregnancy even though this child is the son of Axen, a man that you hate.”

I took my mother's hands, I looked into her eyes with confidence.

"Mom don't worry, I'll be fine. Mom, don't worry about me, okay?"

After giving him confidence, I immediately descended the stairs and met my father who had just come out of the basement, my father and I were standing in front of the dark room.

“Dad, I want to go to work. Please, take me to work.”

“But, your condition.”

"I'll be fine, yeah."

I went to work accompanied by my father, when I arrived at work, I met Alex and also Reina, I went into Alex's room and saw Reina who was under Alex's body

"Devya!! Say excuse me before entering my room!”

They both lashed out at me and stopped their activities
