Chapter 1- Alina's POV

"Traces of poison were found in the cookies you ate. "

My gynaecologist Rihana's words kept revolving in my mind.

“What did she say?” Natalie asked when I walked out of the cabin.

“I got poisoned through the cookies.” I said in a low voice.

“How is it possible? Natasha baked those cookies right?” She had a frown on her face.

“It's hard to believe that my own best friend did such a terrible thing to me.” I am feeling ashamed to call her my friend.

“Did you talk to Lucas about this?” She asked.

I shook my head, “ I haven't told him anything yet.”

“God knows how he will react to the fact that his friend tried to poison his wife and harm their baby.” She has concern written over her face.

“Can you drop me home?” I asked and she nodded. Whole ride home was silent. I couldn't form any words and I'm glad Natalie didn't asked more questions.

As I was walking inside I could see clothes on the floor. As I saw a pair of bra and panties lying at the door of my bedroom, I was afraid to move any further. I feel like I'm living my worst nightmare.

'Please god tell me this is a dream. Tell me it's not what I think it is.' I was pleading to god and trying hard to control my tears.

As my hands touched the doorknob, I was afraid to open the door. I'm not ready to face it. I don't want to see something as horrible as my intuition is telling me.

I could hear loud moans coming from the bedroom. My fear is getting worse. The moans are enough to tell me that my assumption is correct. My husband is fucking my best friend inside.

Tears started to roll down my cheeks. I can't see it. I really can't walk in and face my biggest nightmare.

I heard the door open and both of them walked out naked. They haven't noticed me yet as they are so much into each other.

I took some pictures of them as suggested by Natalie.

"Let's have another round darling.”

Natasha said seductively while touching his chest. I'm disgusted at their sight. I'm biting my cheek inside to hold myself back from crying again.

"We can have it another time at your apartment, sweetheart. Now just dress yourself and leave before Alina comes back." Lucas told her.

"That bitch, I want to throw her out of this bedroom and this house permanently. If it wasn't for her money I would have never let her even lay a finger on you. I'm the one who deserves to be there in that bed with you every night, not her." She shouted.

" Then why don't you take him with you? You can have him day and night, all by yourself. " I suggested and both of them turned to me.

I could feel the soul leaving their body on getting caught in their little act. And they started getting their clothes to cover their bodies immediately.

"Alina, look it's not what you think it is. Just give me a chance to explain my love." Lucas said while trying to hold my hand which I dodged successfully

"Just shut up Lucas. I've seen the true colours of both of you. No need to act all innocent anymore. " I lashed out at them.

"It's good that you know it. I'm so done with being nice to you." Natasha said while rolling her eyes at me.

"Yes, dear Alina. As you have already seen everything then there is nothing to act. I cheated on you. Because I never loved you in the first place. My heart was always with my Natasha. Lucas said while wrapping his arms around her waist and she gave me a nasty smirk.

"Then why did you even marry me?" I asked him.

"Just for money. What else? You have the wealth which I already desired for. " he admitted his greed shamelessly.

I slapped him so hard and shouted, " You son of bitch, if you wanted money you could have asked me. Who gave you the right to hurt my baby?"

Natasha slapped me this time and pushed me. As I fell on the floor, I felt sharp pain in my belly.

"You bitch, know your place. How dare you slap him. You and your child deserve to die only. We don't need you anymore. After your death all the wealth will be ours." She said while holding my jaw with her one hand and pulling my hair with the other.

I was feeling so much pain in my lower abdomen and hot water running between my thighs.

"My water broke Lucas. Take me to the hospital. This is your own baby, how could you hurt this baby? If you want money, you can have it all. You want to kill me then just do it. Just let me give birth to my baby safely and you can just kill me afterwards. " I said to Lucas.

I saw hurt in his eyes and he said to Natasha, " I can't kill my child. Let's not do this. I love my baby a lot. Let's take her to the hospital. " He was pleading with her.

I was relieved that he had some humanity left. I was glad my child will be safe now.

Then both of them started laughing like a maniac.

"Did you really think that the child even matters to me? I have nothing to do with you and this child of yours. Only my Natasha deserves to be the mother of my child. You and this child will die just like how your father did." He said and dragged me by my hair.

"Did you kill my father?" I asked with a broken voice.

"Yes, that old man got to know about our plan so we knocked him out of our way. Now it's my turn to meet him." He replied

Then Natasha hit my head with a flower vase and kicked my womb and the pain was unbearable.

"NOOOO, PLEASE DON'T HURT MY BABY." I screamed out loud and everything around me blacked out.
