I hadn't told anyone, but the last time I was pregnant, the morning sickness was awful. It was almost unbearable.And the worst thing about it, was the fact that it stayed for the entire nine months. I couldn't keep food in my stomach, and when I tried, the food just wouldn't stay in.I had to be in the hospital for a week, we all feared that I was going to lose the twins. I hoped this baby was going to be different, but knowing my luck, I wouldn't be so lucky.I didn't even know what the gender was, but it would be great if the baby was a girl. But, did I even want to keep this child to begin with?I had no idea.Everything was a mess."Hey." I looked up and saw Carina looking at me with a frown. "You shouldn't worry.

    A V E L I N AThe next four months flew by in a blur and I had managed to hide my pregnancy from the whole world.Not even a rumor of me being pregnant had slipped. I had earlier thought hiding a pregnancy as a public figure would be hard but my baby had also cooperated by not showing.Well until my fifth month which was the second month of my second trimester. I was currently standing in front of my full body mirror in my closet as I stared at my baby bump in just my bra which was barely fitting anymore and panties and wondered how I was going to fit in any of my clothes without showing anymore. My belly has literally grown overnight. Autumn started at my reflection in the mirror and looked back at me. "Mummy, you're so huge." She said, her small eyes widening as she placed her little hands on my bump.I didn't have the heart to get offended at my daughter's insinuating of being fat.

Aren't I hiding it enough? I feel so fat.""You're not fat. You're pregnant.""Exactly. Pregnant! Do you have any idea how many people would judge me for being pregnant while being a single mother of two toddlers?""Who cares? People who aren't in your shoes have no right to judge you. And if they do, then fuck them!"I laughed, "Yes, fuck them. But the world would be a better place if those people didn't exist.""Agreed. Come on, let's get you out of this dress. Your kids are playing with their nanny, they're safe."Carina dragged me back upstairs and helped me out of my dress. "This is so comfortable." I told her, putting on a whi

The first person my eyes met were Natalia's and she didn't look a tad bit remorseful.Her clothes were tattered and dirty and she looked thinner but held so much rage and enmity in her eyes. Seeing her rose lots of pent up anger in me."Order. Order. Will the jury please rise." The judge said and they all stood up."Today is the final court hearing. Has the jury come to a conclusion?""Yes, we have.""Read it out."The lady nodded her head and started to speak. "In the case of the people versus Natalia Serrano, we find her guilty. Evidences and footages have proven that she had conspired with a man to kill her boyfriend, and frame Lorenzo Salvatore for the crime."Natalia's face dropped, and the rage in her eyes burned harder than ever. The glare she gave me was something that could have killed me instantly if it had the ability."Is this true, Miss. Serrano?""No. They're lying. I didn't do anything.
