Lisanna's P.O.V

"You're joking, right?" I asked, I was shocked at the fact she was able to hide such a big secret from us and in a span of three years. She just kept it all to herself, just like that.

We all gaped at her, shocked and just speechless. All I ever knew during the time she was away, She went to Paris and just stayed there for a year and a few months. She never told us why exactly but we had to try and understand what she went through during that period of hardship.

"Lucy, you can't keep hiding this forever". Erza spoke again, her arms folded in front of her as she stared at the blonde, who was seated a few steps away from her.

Lucy's lips quivered and small droplets started to form around the corner of her eyes. She shook her head slowly as tears started rolling down her decorated face. It hurt to see her this way, it hurt to know she was battling something this heavy within the depths of her heart.

No one came near her, not even me. We just were too shocked and fazed about the whole situation. We just didn't know what to do, I guess we have to hear out her side of the story.

Lucy's P.O.V

I looked at each and every one of the girls. I think it's time they finally knew the truth. I can't keep hiding her in the shadows forever. What I fear the most is, if that madman of a devil will find out and take her away from me.

Nevertheless, It's time to reveal my secret. My beloved child, Natashi H. Dragneel.

I looked up from my mug and set it aside. I rubbed my hands together to at least help calm my nerves, I haven't really prepared myself for this situation. I planned on keeping this secret until Natashi would turn 10 or maybe 12. But now? My secret's out.

"It all started three years ago, I was feeling constant pain for the past two weeks. I didn't really mind it so I constantly brushed it off until the pain reached a month that's when I decided to go see Ms. Porlyusica for a quick check-up.

// Three years ago //

"Aren't you a bit annoying for bothering me at this early of the hour." The pink-haired woman muttered, gathering all her concoctions and placing them set in one area. She continued to have her back turned and rearranged everything on the shelf she stood in front of.

I didn't know exactly what to do. I was becoming impatient, I normally wasn't as impatient as I am now. The pain has been becoming more and more unbarring. I decided to go see her today to see if she can do anything about it. But, as always she's "too busy" to cater to her patients regardless to the fact that she is the best doctor we have in the city.

"Well? Don't waste my time and sit on the bed. I'll be right with you." She snapped, I couldn't help but feel so conflicted. She is an awfully strange yet wise woman. I obeyed and went over the bed.

It didn't take her long before she came back inside the room with her clipboard.

"Have you been feeling nauseous lately? Specifically in the morning?". I nodded slowly. She skimmed over her clipboard before looking at me again.

"Your period?" She asked again, raising one of her brows, not bothering to look at me. My period? It was supposed to arrive by the second week. My period would always arrive on that week, not too late or even too early. It's the last week of the month and it hasn't even showed signs. But the pain I've been feeling hasn't ceased.

Ms. Porlyusica tapped on her clipboard with her pen impatiently.

"It's late?" I stated but it came more of a question than a statement. She didn't make any comment pr even a sound. She began writing some notes down and placed her clipboard at a nearby desk. She continued to ask me more and more questions, I feel like I'm going to get a headache after this is all over. The more she asked, the more I felt scared. Was something wrong with me?

"I just need one more thing before you go. A test, if you'd please follow me to the next room." She said, walking over to her desk and grabbing her phone and her clipboard.

I followed her to the next room, not even bothering to ask why or what for. All I wanted to know now was why was I feeling like this?

(( a few hours later ))

I felt elated, surprised, and so emotional. I'm pregnant. I'm bearing a child within the walls of my womb. As soon as the results came out, I was so happy. I and Natsu have been dreaming of a child ever since we have gotten married.

This little baby is a miracle! A true gift indeed.

I didn't waste any more time and thanked ms.Porlyusica for everything and gave her the amount of my payment. It didn't matter to me if I gave away too much, I was too excited to tell Natsu about the news.

But, my heart ached a little. To be honest, I and Natsu have been on the edge for quite some time now. More arguments and disagreements came, ever since I saw him with his "secretary" or should I say side-fuck-buddy, things have taken a turn for the worse.

I am not a woman to tolerate cheating bastards but I still have some good in my heart. Natsu is making a mistake and I've been hoping and praying that he'd come to his senses about it. No one knows what exactly is going on. We give the public exactly what they want but behind closed doors, we're nothing but broken people.

Why haven't I divorced him? Because, I love him and because I value the image of the corporation of both parties, the Dragneel and the Fairy Tail corporation. If word gets out about this, then everything will be in chaos. I don't want to put Erza in further distress or even any of my friends. If I can knock some sense into him then everything should work out well, right?

I parked my car right outside the mansion.

Just in front of me was my husband's car and to my surprise another one was parked right across the street. Funny, he said he was going to a meeting in Brooklyn today and won't be back for a week. What's he doing in New York now?

I didn't waste anytime and went inside. I was greeted by dozen of maids and butlers inside the mansion, one of the many maids I came across was Virgo.

"Hello, Virgo. Have you seen my husband? There's a car parked outside that's just exactly like his." I stated as let loose my bun and handed her my hair tie. She looked stoned, literally she looks so rigid and hard as a rock. Almost like, she knows something is going on.

"Fine, I'll look for him then." I gritted and turned on my heels. I went upstairs to our room and to my surprise the door was left a bit ajar.

I took in a little peak in between the space of the two unclosed doors and there he was.

My beloved husband.

Fucking his goddamn-whore of a secretary.

I didn't know what to say or what to feel but to say I was hurt would be an understatement. I am utterly wounded and disgusted by what I am seeing. I closed the door quietly and carefully walked down the marble stairs. Completely annoying all the stairs of the helpers. I don't want them to see what kind of Devil I can be.

I went over to my second walk-in closet on the other side of the mansion and rummaged for my suitcases It didn't take long but I found them and started putting all my items in it. I called in some of the maids to help me pack.

"Taurus!" I yelled out from inside my walk-in closet. Not a moment too soon, there came a large and buff man. In fact, he sometimes he can't fit in through the "small" doors of the mansion. Luckily, this door was just right for his size.

"Yes Ms. Lucy, how may I be of service?" He said, with a slight bow. "Call, Loki. Will you? Tell him to bring over the papers I need. It's urgent." I said, smiling sweetly at the man, he smiled sadly and turned away.

I believe everyone in this household knows what'll happen now. I bet they've known this would happen all along.

Not a while longer, Loki came in through the doors carrying his briefcase and which I assume are the papers I need to end all of this.

"Loki, welcome". I greeted, giving him a light hug and a kiss on the cheek. He returned the favor as well.

"Come, lets take a seat so we can discuss the matters at hand." I said, smiling all too sweetly despite the pain and whirlwind of anger I am feeling deep down inside.

"Lucy," He grabbed my hand and spun me around. "Are you sure this is what your heart truly desires?" He asked, in a voice only I could hear.

Yes. This is what I fucking want. No question or doubt about it. I took away my hand in a flash and crossed my arms over my chest, not missing chance as I glared at the man in-front of me.

His family has served mine for many years and with that the bond is quite headstrong.

"You know what I want and besides—" I was cut off by loud screams and moans of pleasure coming from the master bedroom.

"Ah! Faster! Fuck yes! Right there!"

"I'm coming love, again!"

"Does that answer your question?" I rolled my eyes and placed both my arms on my hips.

"Those indecent people can go rot in hell for all I care, now hand me those papers." I demanded. Loki wasted no time and pulled out a thick set of papers. It was the divorce paper.

I grabbed it off his hands and went over to the kitchen table. Signed it, not even bothering to read any of the details. As long as I can be far away from this house and that man.

"Taurus, put my bags inside the car and ask Capricorn to drive me to Erza's place once I get back." I ordered as I came out from the kitchen. Taurus has always been my personal bodyguard, always there at every beck and all. I walked over to Loke and handed him my copy the files.

"The other ones should be signed by Natsu. You do know what happens if he doesn't sign it right?" Loke asked, raising his brow as he placed the paper in his briefcase.

"Of course. Thank you for your service." I said and turned my back on them. I went over to the master bedroom and left the stack of paper on the desk right beside them.

I didn't waste my time like how he wasted mine. I can raise the child on my own. I don't need him.

I loathe that man.
