Chapter 6

• "I'm pregnant." I blurted out. Hoping that would stop this madness.
• "What? You're lying." She replied. "I'm not. I'm pregnant and it's my ex-husband's."
• She started pacing around the room. "You're going to abort that bastard."
• "No. You don't tell me what to do." I snapped.
• She turned to look at me, the last time she looked at me like that was when I was 16, I had broken an expensive architect, by mistake.
• "You bastard! I've had enough! How dare you talk to me like that!" She lunged towards me grabbing my hair, tightly.
• "Stop!" I cried, but she didn't. "You're going to abort that bastard, do you hear me?!"
• I managed to push her away, resulting in her falling to the floor. Cara came rushing into the room and saw her mum on the floor.
• She glared at me, helping aunt up, I thought she was going to stop, but she didn't.
• ~
• I cried, trying to clean myself. My body hurts so much. Cara had joined aunt earlier.
• I can't believe this is happening, it has to be a dream. A bad dream.
• After some minutes, I managed to clean myself and entered the bed. My breathing was heavy.
• Closing my eyes, I waited for sleep to come, but it didn't. I cried the whole night.
• I woke up to the sun piercing through my eyes. Did I sleep?
• I stood up from the bed and went into the bathroom. I took my bath and noticed the red scar on my left arm.
• I was done, I got out and wore a simple gown. My stomach was grumbling.
• I haven't eaten since yesterday. Oh god. And a baby is growing inside of me.
• I walked out of the room and went to the door leading outside, but there were two men, just beside the door.
• Who are they?
• I slowly walked closer to the door, attempting to come out. But they blocked the way.
• "Excuse me, I have to go out," I said, but they did not reply to me, it was as if they didn't even hear me.
• "You're not leaving this house, at least not until when you're going to your husband's house."
• It was aunt, she was still on this? I turned towards her. "Why won't you just leave me alone? I've told you this before, I'm not getting married."
• "I'm doing something great for you. You'd thank me for this someday."
• I didn't answer her, I turned to look at the men, glaring at them. Who do they think they are?
• I am a human and I have my right to movement. "Let me pass, or I'm going to call the cops."
• They didn't even flinch. They were keeping me caged, I hate this. I couldn't stop the tears that slipped out of my eyes. I hate this feeling.
• ~
• "Here, drink this," Aunt said, sitting next to me on the bed. I've been crying all day long.
• I'm trapped.
• "I don't want it," I said.
• "You have to drink this, it's good for you, and it would stop the pain you're going through." She said.
• I slowly took it from her and dropped it on the table next to me. She smiled. "I'd go bring something for you to eat." She walked out of the room.
• Immediately after she left, I went to the bathroom and poured it on the floor. I don't know why, but I didn't feel like drinking it.
• I went back to the room and sat down on the bed. A few minutes later, an aunt came back with a tray of food in her hand.
• "Here, you should eat." She said smiling at the empty cup behind me. What did she put in that?
• I didn't drink it, so I don't have to be scared.
• I looked at the food before me, and my stomach growled.
• ~
• "I heard she is pregnant."
• "Yes... She will... Uh, had a husband, I gave her a drink that could abort the child..."
• "I'm leaving for Italy in two weeks, I want the wedding before then."
• "Yes, of course. I'd prepare her."
• "Do so-" "Isn't this illegal? Forcing someone to get married?!" I snapped at the two idiots before me.
• "Tessa, do-"
• "Tessa what?! I told you, I'm not getting married to anyone and you're not going to force me to do what I don't want to!"
• I noticed the Vick guy staring at me, and I felt like poking his eyes and making him blind. I glared at him.
• "I guess we'd have to do this the hard way." I heard him say.
• "Hard way? Like this isn't hard enough. Why won't you just leave me alone? You barely know me and you want to get married to me? That's stupid and path-" he cuts me off with a growl.
• "Shut up." He looked straight into my eyes this time. He got up from where he was sitting and walked toward me.
• He looks so scary at that moment. I backed away till my back hit the wall.
• He reached me and trapped me between the walls. "We're going to get married, a week from now and there's nothing you can do about it."
• He was so close and our bodies touched. I felt disgusted. I needed to push him away. But he seems strong, so strong.
• Tears slipped down my eyes. I don't want this. "Please, let go of me." I pleaded, and he replied to me with a growl.
• ~
• I was in my room, bawling my eyes out.
• Why does this have to happen to me? What have I ever done to deserve this?
• I sniffed. I took my bag behind me, looking for my phone, I turned the bag around and everything in the bag came out.
• A card caught my eye.
• here, in case you want to contact me... If you have any problems, you could always reach out to me.
