Merely for pleasure. Hell, flame me for all I care too :D R&R, but if you dont want to, it's alright. I wrote, again, MERELY FOR PLEASURE!

They met under the moonlight. His face was shrouded in darkness, and only a sliver of moonlight reached him. While his face remained cool and impassive, she, on the other hand, was nervous, biting her nails. When he approached her, she grabbed him, fingernails digging into his muscled arms.

"What am I going to do now?" She begged, gazing at the impassive man in front of her, the one she formerly called her lover. "I can't keep this baby! Why don't we just tell everyone, who this father is?" Her face crumpled. "I can't do it anymore, everyone's trying to persuade me to tell them who the father of this baby is! Everyday, it's the same questions, always, always the same questions."

A ray of light fell on the man's face, as if to show off his stunning features. Coolly, he removed her hand from his shoulder, and then turned his back to her. She gazed at his back, for what seemed to be an impossibly long time.

"Don't you ever tell them."

Although the man spoke softly, however, his voice held a dangerous quality to it, and Alexis Rhodes cringed at the sound of his voice. Was this the man that she had loved wholeheartedly? Was this heartless man who had turned his back on her the man that she had given her body and soul to? This heartless, cold stranger whom she could barely recognize.

"But, everyone's pressurizing me! I have to go and tell them!" Alexis clenched her fists tightly, biting her lip till she tasted the salty tang of blood. "I have to, I have to!"

"No" The man turned around, grabbed her shoulders and started shaking her to and fro. "Do you know what this would do to me, my career? And what this would do to you? You always think before you act, Alexis, damn it!" His eyes flashed and Alexis could see red sparks dancing diabolically in his eyes. "I said no."

As he released her grip on her, Alexis felt herself trembling, shaking uncontrollably. She bit her lip harder and glanced up, in hatred, at the man in front of her. "Well, I am going to tell them all. You always think for yourself. Guess what, this time, it's about me."

She turned, planning to walk away, pretending that she couldnt hear the sound of her heart breaking over his muttered curses. A lone tear rolled down her cheek, and she rested her hand on her tummy. Even though they had had a lot of quarrels, she had given in to him, but this time, she couldn't stand it any longer. "I hope this baby hates you," she whispered.

And then, a hard knock at her head, and... nothing.

Outside the ward, the sounds of tussling and screaming could be heard.

"I have to see her today!"
"No, you can't do that, she needs her rest!"

Zane Truesdale rushed in, his hair in a mess, his calmness for once, gone. As he rushed in, he turned to the Jasmine, who was standing over Alexis, he asked, hurriedly, "What happened to her?"

Jasmine turned, her eyes clouding with a sudden pain. "She was assaulted by someone yesterday night, probably the mysterious father of her baby. The nurse says that she'll probably have amnesia, or even worse, become paralysed." Her eyes clouded with tears, and she suddenly burst out, "I wish I knew who the father was! Such a coward."

Zane grasped Alexis's hand, looking at her pale, drawn face. "I'm sorry," he said aloud, "I'm sorry for not being able to protect you." A solitary tear rolled down his face, a tear of regret and pain. "I'm sorry," he repeated.

I'm sorry, sorry for doing this to you. I meant to kill you, but I rendered you paralysed and amnesiac. I wish I could turn back time, but you threatened to ruin my career, my reputation, everything that I had painstakingly built up. I'm sorry, I really am.

Lol. HEEHEE LAME STORY.
