The Heir And The Servent Started From A Bet novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153

For two days, Mia avoided everyone. She stayed locked in her room, curtains drawn, barely touching food. Every time someone knocked, she pretended to be asleep.

The world outside didn’t exist for her right now. All she could do was cry.

The tears wouldn’t stop. Her heart ached so much it felt like something was physically pressing on her chest. She cried until she couldn’t anymore.

She went over everything, again and again in her head.

She thought about him, about how he would have reacted if things were different, if they were still together.

Would he have wanted her to keep it or get rid of it?

Would he have been panicking or happy?

Guess she would never know…

It’s all good. Alex is where he was supposed to be, with Zoe, and well she is where she is not supposed to be…

Pregnant…

A life she didn’t plan for, didn’t ask for, but now had to make the biggest decision of her life about.

After all the endless crying, after all the questions with no answers, she made up her mind.

She sat on her bed that morning, still in her oversized hoodie, legs folded up to her chest.

She couldn’t just get rid of her baby. No matter how scared she was. No matter how alone she felt. It was her child. A part of her. A part of Alex, too, yes, but more than that-it was hers.

It wouldn’t be easy. In fact, she knew it would be the hardest thing she would ever do. She was barely holding herself together as it was.

She had been researching all day yesterday. Quietly. On her phone, under the covers.

Her school had programs for pregnant students. Special dorms, some academic support, even childcare help in certain situations. She didn’t know the full details yet, but there was a path, somewhere, to keep the baby and continue school.

And if it ever got too much, she would pause. Take a break. Get a job. Come back when she could. She would find a way.

Because she couldn’t get rid of her baby. Just like that? She just couldn’t.

That evening she was ready to move on from this. She washed her face, trying to make herself look like she has not been crying for two days straight. It didn’t work. Her eyes were still puffy. Her skin looked dull. But she was done hiding from everything.

It was time.

She walked into the kitchen, where her mom was washing some vegetables. The moment her mom saw her, she stopped what she was doing.

“Mia?” she asked gently.

Mia didn’t say anything at first. She just walked over and hugged her mom. Tight.

Something she can’t remember ever doing. It was awkward but she needed this hug.

Her mom, surprised at first, quickly recovers from her shock. She wipes her hands and holds her close. “Are you okay?”

Mia pulled back, looking her in the eyes. “I’ve made my decision.”

Her mom’s eyes searched hers. “Okay.”

“I’m keeping the baby.”

There was a small pause. Then her mom nodded, almost like she already knew. “Okay.”

“I want to tell them. I thought about keeping it to myself and leaving for school but I thought against it. I think they should know too.”

Her mom gave her hand a soft squeeze. “okay.”

So that evening, her mom gathered the family in the living room.

Mia stood at the side, her heart racing in her chest. This was harder than she expected.

Lily stretched out lazily on the couch, propping a pillow under her arm. “Are you dying or something?” she asked casually, not even looking up.

Mia’s chest tightened. She could feel everyone’s eyes turning toward her.

“Mia?” Ethan’s voice was softer, concerned. “What’s wrong?”

Her throat felt dry. She looked at her mother, who gave her a small nod. That was all the push she needed.

She took in a shaky breath. “I’m pregnant.”

The room went completely silent.

Ethan froze, his phone slipping slightly from his hand. Lily blinked like she hadn’t heard right. Ann looked up sharply, mouth slightly open.

Mia kept her eyes on them, watching as the news registered in their brains. It wasn’t laughter that came first, like she’d expected from Lily. No jokes. No mocking comments. Just wide eyes. Stunned silence.

They looked confused. Lost for words.

And Mia understood. Completely.

They weren’t expecting this. Neither was she.

“You’re pregnant? Is this a joke?” Ann’s voice cut through the silence, her wide eyes scanning Mia’s face like she was waiting for the part where she screams it’s a prank.

Mia didn’t answer right away. She just stood there, stiff and unsure, her hands fidgeting with the hem of her shirt.

Ann’s

eyes shifted to their mother, who stood still, expression calm, even neutral. “Mom, you know about this?”

“Yes,” their mom said simply,’ with a small nod.

Ann blinked. “Seriously? You knew and you’re just… fine?”
