Chapter 76SASHA BAHEDIA I am running through a hall that doesn't seem to have an end. I am running after a little child that I never seem to catch up to. The child's laughter fills the hallway, and my pace increases until I wake up and drained in my own sweat. I pant heavily and sit up and see Tasha lying down beside me with the duvet. I take in a deep breath. Was that my child? I couldn't even catch up even in my dreams. I am really useless. I get out of bed and look at the window and see Davil and Aiden fight. I wear my flip flop and walk out of the room and downstairs. "Why are they fighting now?"I thought to myself and halted at the window of the sitting room. "I only did what I did to get back at her for killing my father. Do you think I would let that slide? I became fatherless because of HER. "Davil grows into a giant and a tear drops. "Losing her child and womb is nothing compared to what I plan to take from her. I will take and take until she is isolation
SASHA BAHEDIA Aiden draws me away Davil and Davil holds my hand. I look at Davil and then Aiden if I allow them both they will tear apart. The hate in Aiden's eyes is visible. I understand now. He hates me for been stupid enough to let Davil hurt me. He hates that he was right to hate Davil's guts. He hates that the man who had a hand in his child's death is in the same room as him. I shake Davil's hand off mine and Aiden draws me. I tilt my head back and Tasha is on her feet and runs to me before Taet pulls her back. I smile at Tasha assuring her that all is well. I look at Aiden as he roughly drags me down the stairs and into the garden. He flings his hand and swings me to look at him and he is seething in anger. "I don't want to see you close to Davi-" "Why?", I ask and finally he looks at me. "Why?", He walks to me and I stagger. "Why? Are you insane? Are you that naive or stupid which is it? Your child is dead. My child is dead and it is your fault. You always
AIDEN BAHEDIA I have been staring at her for a while. She is fast asleep and is so peaceful. She is safe.....safe? How long before she knows that the one who hurt her is the enemy? How long before the news breaks her? She looked up to her elder brother. She loves him and can die for him if it comes to it. But him - he is twisting the knife harder while he smiles at her and deceives her. I fear she will let him because he is family. I fear she will take it lying down. I fear she will think she deserves every betrayal. I fear she is less of herself daily, and nothing can be done about it. I rest my head on her chest, and her heartbeat is normal, I hear her heartbeat, and it makes me feel at home. It makes me happy knowing her heart is still beating. I might have lost my child, but thank God I didn't lose my Luna. I toss over and place her hand around my waist. I allow her to be the big spoon, and I slowly start feeling sleepy, and I smile. She is home. She is my safe
SASHA BAHEDIA I open the door of our room and look out the window and I see both men turning their back against each other. Aiden speaks and then walks towards the building. Davil swirl and looks at Aiden and smiles at him. He is proud of him but I wonder why. Davil looks up and I wave and Davil waves before entering his car. I watch his car leave and my chest aches. He didn't think I needed comforting, is it because he wanted me to pick up myself with any help from him. Is it because now isn't the time for some pity party? Is it because he is happy he took a little of his pound of flesh and didn't see the need to pretend? I really want him hugging me and assuring to bring the culprit the justice but he can't because that involves bringing himself to justice. Do I want that? I really hope this makes you feel better because it is does I will gladly watch you ruin me. "Sorry I took l-", I feel Aiden's hand wrap around my waist his head on my shoulder and he kisses my c
SASHA BAHEDIA "This isn't the Darcs castle", I speak up when taet and I enters my room. We are at a hotel. At the outskirt of Dahmatra. I spurn to Taet as I wait for an explanation. "There is a protective spell hovering around this hotel so no word said here gets out. We can't take the risk of talking about this when people are around. We don't know who to trust. So I suggested this. Don't worry we are not staying in the same ro-", he walks down the hall and opens a door. I walk behind him and he opens and say under his breath in Italian, "Un solo lavoro Veda, un solo lavoro" I laugh when I see what she did. I and Taet will be sharing the same bathroom. Taet couldn't even look at me and I just smile. "It is fine. We just have to knock whenever we want to use the toilet", I try to calm him down. "We will meet back in your room in five minutes", he shuts his door and I hear him cuss and I just smile stupidly.**** His room is very simple just a bed, cen
AIDEN BAHEDIAAs my wife waltz in, she runs into my arms and hugs me so tight and I know something is wrong but I don't ask. She would tell if she wants me finding out. I lead her to our room and all we do is cuddle in my arms until she fell asleep. What did you do Taet? "Baby? Let us try to have another baby", her voice is low but catches me off guard. "Baby gir-" "Please", she holds unto my chest and the straddle around me as she plant kisses over my face. I gently push her off me and lay her down beside me. She sits up and arch an eyebrow waiting for an explanation. Why these sudden behavior? She came home sad and disturbed and now she wants kids. Did she forget when I said we can't have kids? "Stop please. I am not having sex because I want kids. I can have sex because you want it or I want you. But for kids that is nonesense talk. Stop making it hard to accept that I can't have a kid", I feel my anger slowly rise and I stand to my feet and turn my back
SASHA BAHEDIA I wake up in the morning to an empty bed, body pain and a cold weather. I rub my eyes and stand up and I stretch before leaving the bed. I don't see Aiden around. Did he just leave after having an aggressive sex that felt so much like a goodbye? I just sigh and check my phone incase he sent a message. I check and I see a message from him, it reads; I went out for some urgent work and I won't be around until later today. The maids are at your service. I called Tasha to keep you company. I love you so much and take care of yourself. I walk to the bathroom to take my bath. I come out of the closet wearing a black short on one of Aiden's big red shirt and my slippers and I bump into an excited Tasha. She hugs me and then pull away. She draws my hand towards the bed and we both sit down. "So I have something fun planned for us. Today is for just us. We get to talk and catch up", Tasha squeeze my hand and nod. "So let us get going", she stands up and drag me
AIDEN BAHEDIA I knock at the door. My chest aches so much and I know it isn't from me. It is from Sasha. The door opens and Sasha's eyes are red like she has been crying. She just opens the door and walks towards the bed, no hug, no kisses, nothing. "You okay?", I ask and she just ignores me and sit on the bed as she bites her lips as tears fall. I look at the tiles and I see the test result and I sigh. She saw it. I kneel before her and hold her hand and she shakes her hand off mine. She is angry. Please not now Sasha. Please. "I told you we can't have kid-" "Did you ever want a child? Because that is the vibe I am getting off you", she spits out and I lose my cool. "That is harsh. Yes I want kids with yo-" "Oh stop those lies. You heard I couldn't give birth and you stopped trying. You didn't ask if it could be reversed. You left me to mourn our child on my own. I begged you to stay, if you had stayed I will still be carrying our child. I wasn't important
