GEMMA "It shouldn't be Antonio, please" I prayed inwardly as I stood up from the floor reluctantly.I walked slowly out of the bathroom and to the door, willing myself to keep my facial expressions and emotions in check.I wouldn't want Antonio finding out about it now till I was sure of what I would do next.My hands were shaky as I placed them on the door knob. "Relax Gemma, take a deep breath" my inner voice said.I took a deep breath and waited for a few minutes. The knock came again and I opened the door.Nanny Emilia was standing at the door and I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw her."Nanny Emilia" I called out, my tears threatening to fall."Child, I came into your room last night to serve you dinner and saw that you're sleeping, so I didn't bother. Are you hungry? Breakfast is ready" she said with so much concern.I couldn't hold it in anymore as I broke down in tears."Holy Christ, Gemma" she called in surprise and came into the room and closed the door behind her.
GEMMA I could see the shock, surprise and different shades of emotions on Antonio's face. For some minutes, he's speechless as he just stood there staring at me with those cold blue eyes.He raked his hair with his fingers agitatedly."What did you just say? You're pregnant??" He finally asked as if he didn't hear me well before.I nodded my head."God damnit!!" He yelled and punched the wall hard.I gasped in shock and fear."How the fuck did this happen?" He yelled."You released inside me the last time we had sex" I replied."I thought you said you're on your safe period" he said angrily."I really was or I thought I was" I replied shakily."Fuck it" he screamed and punched the wall hard, this time harder than the first."I would have fucking gotten you an after sex drugs to prevent you from getting pregnant. But you fucking told me you're in your safe period and that nothing would happen" he said."Now see the result. You're fucking pregnant! Fucking pregnant!" He hollered
Antonio couldn't control his anger as he punched Gemma hard on the stomach. One thing he's certain of is that he's never letting her give birth to the babyHow dare she disobey him when he humbly asked her to go with him to the hospital to abort? He was being humble enough then.And when he heard her scream "my baby" and saw the blood dripping down her legs, then he realized what he had done.He has punched the baby out of her stomach, thereby causing a miscarriage. He watched her as she collapsed to the floor and out of anger, frustration and regret, he punched the wall hard.Then he saw that she wasn't moving and her eyes were closed. He ran quickly to her and crouched beside her."Gemma, Gemma" he called sharply.There was no response from her as she laid lifeless on the floor.Fear gripped him. It wasn't the first time he's killed someone but he didn't know why he's scared of Gemma dying. He didn't know why he's scared that he must have killed her."Gemma," he called again.She's
Nanny Emilia had returned home from Isabella's school and had found everywhere awkwardly quiet when she entered the living room.There were no signs of Luca or Antonio in the house.One of Antonio's cars wasn't parked outside so she thought that he must have gone to work with Luca.She still finds it strange that Antonio refused Isabella from going to school in her school bus and had asked her to take Isabella to school with Mateo in his car.She walked into the kitchen and saw that Gemma's breakfast was still laying untouched on the table."Why hasn't she eaten by now?" Nanny Emilia asked herself as she checked the time and saw that it was almost ten in the morning.She felt Gemma didn't have the strength to come down and eat her food, so she carried the food up to her room.When she got to Gemma's room, she knocked but there was no response. On the third knock, and still no response, she opened the door and went in.She was so shocked when she went in and saw a pool of blood on the
Margaret was surprised when she heard a car drive into her compound. She rarely receives visitors, none of the boys working for her has a car and with the way the gatekeeper allowed the car to drive into the compound with no issues, then it must be someone he knows.She stood up from the couch she had been sitting on and walked over to the window to peep out of it. She saw the car and instantly recognized it. It was Antonio's.She was surprised.What's he doing there?Antonio had stopped visiting her for a while as there seemed to be a fall out between them. He has also refused to tell her what went wrong between them.She watched him come down from the car after he parked it and headed towards the direction of the main door. Soon, there was a knock on the door."Antonio" she called out when she opened the door and saw him really standing there. Surprise was still all over her face."Let's go to your bar. Drink with me" He said as he stepped into the living room.He didn't
Antonio woke hours later with a banging headache. He held his head in pain and groaned softly in pain."Are you okay?" Margaret asked and he looked towards her direction.She's sitted on a chair, opposite him, facing him and slowly sipping the wine she's holding in her hands."I have a serious headache," Antonio replied, still rubbing his forehead."You drank too much," Margaret said. "There's a drug and glass of water on the tray beside you on the table. It would help"Antonio looked towards the direction of the table beside the bed and found the drug and water. He sat up well, stretched out his hands and took it, then he drank it and returned the glass of water to the table.Margaret was right as the drug was very effective and soon, he's starting to get better."How do you feel now??" Margaret asked, as she stood up from the chair and came to sit beside him on the bed."I feel better now," he replied."Look, Margaret, I'm really sorry for barging into your house this morning then r
GEMMA Luca bowed to Antonio and walked out of the room, leaving me and Antonio in the room.I suddenly felt alone when Luca left. I had almost stopped him from leaving."How are you feeling?" Antonio asked.I eyed him from head to toe like someone infected with leprosy, hissed and looked away.I've made up my mind to stop being so scared of him. He has done his worst already, what more can he do? Except to kill me.I don't mind dying than living in this miserable life but first, I must have my revenge before I die.He turned my cheek to face me."Don't touch me" I chided."Look, Gemma, I know you're mad at me but I'm sorry" he apologized.I scoffed."You're apologizing??" I asked with a tone of mockery."I'm not sorry that the baby is gone. I'm sorry for beating you up. You're too stubborn, you should have done things the easy way" he replied."Really? You're not sorry the baby is gone? Wow!" I said."I don't like kids," he replied briefly."And Isabella?" I asked."Let's not ta
***TWO WEEKS LATER*** Margaret has been feeling so weak and sick for the past weeks now. It's going to the third week and she's still feeling the same.The weakness and sickness started after a week she had unprotected sex with Antonio and she suspected she might be pregnant. She's also having symptoms of pregnancy.She prayed fervently that she's really pregnant for Antonio. It'll be a prayer answered for her.She picked up her phone one morning to call Vanessa, her best friend, who's in the United States of America."Nessa" she called happily when her best friend answered the call."Garet, it's been a while," Vanessa said happily when she heard her friend's voice."How have you been? How's the weather over there?" Margaret asked."I've been so fine. How have you been too?""I've been okay, I guess" "I missed you" Margaret said and pouted even though Vanessa couldn't see her."I missed you too, Garet. You've totally forgotten about me, your best friend. You're enjoying
