"Chelsea!" My mom yelled and barged into the room, her disappointment was palpable, cutting through the air like a sharp knife. "Who's responsible for your pregnancy?" she demanded, her eyes drilling into mine. Caught between the truth and the suffocating weight of shame, I could barely utter a word. Tears welled up in my eyes as I struggled to find the courage to speak. "Mom, I'm sorry," I managed to choke out, my voice trembling with emotion. But admitting the truth about Jason or Ethan felt like an impossible feat. "Amanda, please, just tell me," she pleaded, her voice tinged with desperation. "Mom I can't tell you," I said in tears, feeling the weight of Jason's ominous threats. I remained silent, unable to bear the thought of exposing Jason and Ethan. Suddenly, Jason appeared. I guess my mom already told him everything, "Baby, ease up on her," he urged gently, his presence adding to the tension in the room. With a heavy sigh, my mom retreated, leaving Jason and I to grappl

Chelsea's POV"Hey mama," he slurred, stumbling into my room. The pungent odor of alcohol announced his presence before he even spoke. "What are you doing here?" I blinked in disbelief, taken aback by his intrusion at this late hour. "I came to see you," he smirked, leaning casually against the doorframe. "You can leave now. I've never been better," I snapped, my patience wearing thin. Ethan had been distant ever since the bombshell news of my pregnancy, and I suspected he had his own suspicions about my recent doctor's visit. "Calm down, mama. I know you're angry," he said, easing his way into the room and closing the door behind him, though he didn't bother to lock it. "You have every right to be mad. I haven't been myself lately, and I want to make it up to you," he added, his words dripping with false sincerity. His story pulled at my heartstrings, but I refused to be manipulated like before. This time, I was determined to stand my ground and assert myself.With determinatio

Chelsea's POV"What are you doing here," I asked."I came to check up on you. Vivian told me you weren't feeling well," he said while I hissed and roll my eyes. "Vivian can't keep her mouth shut." I pondered in my thoughts."Thanks," I finally said to him and was about to lock the door back but he held it with a friendly smile on his face."Can I have a few moments of your time? I want us to talk," he said with a pleading face. I know I have to give him the opportunity because he is not going to give up asking. I smiled and walked him to the flower garden, away from Jason's sight."What do you want?" I asked." Did I do something wrong? You have been avoiding me since after our date. You don't pick up calls or reply to my message. The worst is you hide whenever you see me around. Did I do something bad?" He asked, his words piercing my heart. He didn't do anything wrong to get such treatment from me. Brian is really a good person but I don't want to break his heart. My life is already

"You did what?" Vivian exclaimed, leaping from her chair in shock. "I know it's wrong. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry," I pleaded through tears. "Hey,hey. Now you listen to me. It's not your fault, okay? Stop shedding tears," Vivian reassured me, her voice gentle yet firm. Vivian had always been my rock, my unwavering support, and I couldn't imagine navigating this turmoil without her. But she hadn't heard the full extent of my confession yet. She didn't know about the pregnancy, the looming threat over my mother's life. How would she react to this bombshell? "No, no, you don't get it," I sobbed, struggling to find the words. "Um, um," I stuttered, grappling with the weight of my revelation. "You know you can tell me anything, right?" Vivian said softly as she approached me, enveloping me in a warm hug. "I'm pregnant, Viv. I'm pregnant. My mom's life has already been threatened because of it," I confessed, bowing my head in shame. Vivian pulled away from the embrace and bega

As I sat in the hospital waiting room, fidgeting with the edges of an outdated magazine waiting for my mom to be discharged, a stranger approached me, he was dressed in jeans and a hospital shirt and I guess he is one of the hospital workers.

Confused, I waited until he disappeared around the corner before unfolding the note, my heart pounding in anticipation.The words scrawled across the paper sent a shiver down my spine, hinting at a dark secret buried within the walls of the hospital. "I saw everything. Dig deeper into him, he is worse than that," it urged, like a whispered warning from an unseen ally.Clutching the note tightly, I felt a surge of uncertainty wash over me. Could I trust the words of a stranger, or was this just another cruel twist in the nightmare that had become my reality?As I wrestled with the decision to uncover the truth, I knew that whatever path I chose would lead to consequences beyo

Chelsea's POVJason exited first and headed into the private room where my mother was admitted. I followed suit, locking the door behind me, my gaze fixed on him with a mix of anger and desperation. "You did this, didn't you?" I accused, my voice trembling with emotion as tears welled up in my eyes.He turned to face me, his expression unreadable. At first, he seemed to brush off my accusation with a chuckle, but then he closed the window screen, blocking out any prying eyes."You thought I was bluffing?" He said. My heart pounded in my chest, fear gripping me as I struggled to find my voice."Is he for real right now?" I muttered to myself, feeling a surge of panic rising within me. I grabbed onto a nearby chair for support as my legs were trembling and feeling weak beneath me."Do you really love her as you claimed?" I pressed, my voice barely above a whisper, my eyes pleading with him for answers. "Does she know?"Jason's sly grin only fueled my frustration. "You don't have to wor
