My hands were shaky, very very shaky. I stared at the pills in my hands. The prescription was very clear, insert deeply into the vagina. I can do this, get this off and leave this family before I'm killed. Luther... this is his baby too, and he wants it, this is wrong without his permission. But then this is my womb, it's my final decision. The threats are too much, the fear of my life being in constant danger. I'll just travel far away and start all over. Luther is going to hate me, I know he will, he'll never ever forgive me but this is for the better. I need to get out of here. I stared at the pill. I've always wanted to be a mother, a very happy one at that. When I found out I was pregnant, I was so happy, genuinely happy honestly, but I was without a job by then and so I panicked, if j was still working by then, I wouldn't even be in the situation, and instead of me to start up by job hunt, I started looking for the father, this was where I fucked up. I wish I never g
Ben slammed Adele's head against my office table. "I'm sorry Don, I'm so sorry", she cried. I dropped the cigarette I was holding and got up. "My fiancee told me that you threatened to kill her the last time you saw her", I said calmly. "No no no... I..I.. I didn't threaten to kill her, I just.. I just.." "So she's lying? you're saying that my fiancee is lying?" "No no she's not, I didn't threaten to kill her I Just -" "Threatened her?" She didn't say anything again, she started crying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't mean to, I was just -" "What did you tell her?", I asked. She didn't answer, she was still begging. I groaned, Ben picked her up again and slammed her head against the desk, this time harder. She screamed. "I.. I.. I told her that she can't survive the Cowper family and that they're going to kill her and she's going to die before the delivery date", she cried. "Who is going to kill her? you?". "No.. no I will never hurt what belongs to you, I swear", she cr
Luther hasn't spoken to me for a week now, I don't know if he's been avoiding me. And he's been unusually pissed, like I could literally hear his voice thunder from my room. I haven't seen him this way since I met him and I think it's somehow my fault, I talked about his ex. I was walking around the garden when I met Ben. "Uhm hey can I ask you something?" He turned to me giving me a mean look, Ben doesn't really like me, but he doesn't have a choice because he's suppose to protect me. But he doesn't hate me, like Laura and the others, I guess I don't just sit too well with him. "What is it?" "Is Luther mad at me?" He scoffed, "Why would he?". "Uhm, it's like he's been avoiding me, and lately he's been pissed, out of the usual". "Oh this is just how he is normally, Luther is always off the edge, sometimes he calms down and sometimes it's like this, and he's not been avoiding you, he's been busy with work". I nodded slowly, "Okay, so it has nothing to do with me talking abo
Ivy**I was the only one on earth that called Luther by that name, everyone and I mean everyone calls him danger, or Don. It was that crazy honestly, Ben almost broke a guys nose that called him that today, I'm not joking.I don't know why but somehow I'm beginning to feel special, either that or he can't kill me because I'm carrying his child.I think I've gotten used to the stares honestly, people looking at me, gossiping, whispering, it's really gotten old, just like what Ben said.The birthday dinner was something, I could see power and money in display, there's something about the rich I noticed, simplicity and elegance, they didn't even put much energy but they reeked of wealth.I was Luther's hand bag through it all, he carried me everywhere introducing me like a trophy to everyone and acting very nice and manly, not gonna lie , it was kinda hot and sexy at a point.We met one of his business association of an accounting firm."I want to introduce you to someone, he can hook

TWO MONTHS AFTER * * * "Boss", Ben said coming into my office. "There's a woman that has been coming over to the house for the past three days now, requesting to see you. She said it's urgent and personal ". "What does she want?", I asked. "I don't know, she's refused to talk, probably all these beggars that needs money and all", he said. I paused, "Let her in, let's see what she has to say, check her up first, need to be sure she's not a suicide bomber", I said. "Yes boss ", he said and left. I pulled out my cheque booklet from my drawer and wrote a Cheque of $1000, I'm already used to these kind of conversations, and I'm really not interested in hearing whatever sad story they have to tell. My office door opened and a very strong familiar scent hit me. "Name?", I said without even looking up ready to write her name on it and give it to her. "Ivy ", she said. That name, I remember. I looked up immediately and my eyes met the most beautiful pair of golden
IVY***I shouldn't have told him about the pregnancy, maybe I should have just aborted it and moved on with my life.Now I feel like I'm going to regret this, all of this. He was way different from my man I met at the club the other day, that guy was full of life and fun and cheerful, this person was so different.I'm just glad he didn't deny anything to do with me, I just wanted a little fund, to get my life together then start up a business so I'll be able to raise the baby, I could do it on my own, I really didn't need his help in this, but him coming to say I should drop the baby when due and leave? no, I wouldn't.I want to stay with my baby, that's all I want, but I just needed a little financial help, not all this happening."Ben Is here", Cathy said coming into my room.I sighed, "Should have never gone looking for him", I mumbled.She came to hug me, "Ivy you got this, okay mean yeahh they're rumors about him being a killer and all but I don't know that's true, he's just r
The sun smiled on my face today it was calm and breezy, I heard the birds singing at my window, I didn't want to get out of bed because men this felt like heaven. Only then did I get scared because my bed was never comfortable, it was always hard and painful and I liked it that way because it always woke me up on time for work, and birds were never near my window because I liked In an apartment. My eyes flashed open. I found myself in this Queen sized bed in this very beautiful room, my brain finally clicked and I remembered where I was . "Sleeping beauty finally woke up", I heard Luther say and he appeared from the other side of the room. "Uhm, hi, ughh, Good morning", I said. "Afternoon actually, it's past 12pm, shit did I sleep this Long? He handed me a box. "Here, I got you a new device, one I'll be able to track you with easily and know your location, I've transferred all your documents from your other phone to this, you're welcome ", he said. I was quiet for like, few s
