I look down at the white bedsheets and they are stained with blood. The amount of blood on the sheets alarms me, and I know that it is not period blood.“How do you feel? Do you want me to call 911?” Robert still looks troubled and wants to do something to help.To be honest, I feel absolutely fine and normal. The blood on the sheets is what is making me confused and afraid. I drag my body off the bed and I stand to my feet, Robert is watching and studying my every move. He has his phone in his hand, ready to call for help if I just give him the permission.Once I am on my feet, I examine the nightgown I am wearing and it is also stained with blood.“Do you think the baby’s okay?” Robert asks me.“I honestly do not know, Robert,” I reply to him.“Well, I am not liking these vague answers, I am going for an ambulance.” He says to me as he dials the number on his phone.“Robert, can you please just wait and let me think?” I beg him and he ends the call that he was making.“I really don’
As the doctor is about to tell me the bad news, my heart feels like it is in a car race due to how fast it is beating. What if she tells me that I have lost my baby? I really don’t know what I would do if she tells me that.“You know what, I am going to tell you the good news first,” The doctor says to me with a smile. I think she noticed how gloomy my face looks. Maybe getting the good news first would be better, but I still know that there is no escaping the bad news.“No problem.” I agree with her and she strokes her hair.“Well, you did not lose your baby, your baby is alive, though I would have to take you to my clinic to do further testing,” She informs me and I let out a breath I never knew I was holding.“But why so much blood then?” I inquire and she leads me to the bathroom and starts the water. I am not really a huge fan of cold showers, but I do take them once in a while. They can be awakening and actually refreshing.“Uh, that is where the bad news comes in. I will not be
What is happening to me? It feels like the pain is moving around in my stomach, and my jeans keep getting stained with red liquid.The doctor walks back to me quickly and begins to check me.Robert and the others stand on their feet as looks of fear cross their faces. Another man enters the room and he is the guy with the bald head that Robert went off on.“Can we please have the room?” I hear him say loudly and the pain becomes intense and unbearable. I close my eyes and I clench my jaw to try to cope with the pain but it is near impossible.Once the room is clear and Robert and the others are out, the man pokes something into my arm and I wince; I think it is a needle. In a few seconds, sleep overwhelms me and I drift into a heavy slumber.*****“Oh, look, she is waking up,” I hear someone say as my eyes flutter open. It takes some time for my vision to clear and I have a direct view of the ceilings for I am lying on the bed. When I look to my right, I see someone that I recognize i
Spencer’s cologne swirls in the room as he walks toward the couch and flops down on it. He has on an eerie smile that makes him look like a villain, and he is dressed like a Hollywood star. This is my first time seeing him in person, he is an attractive young man.“What are doing here, Spencer?” I ask him and his smile grows.“I told Cara to tell you I wanted to see you,” He says loosely.“And how did you know that I was here?” I ask him, dragging the “and”.“Oh, that part was the easy part. You see, I never knew that you and my father were closed until recently. When Cara told me that he kidnapped you too, I was doubting her so bad, but then Cecil confirmed it,” He informs me.“Who is Cecil?” I ask and Cara walks into the room, for Spencer did not close the door when he came in.“Cecil is his little spy, he is one of the guards that work close to Henry,” She joins in the conversation. She must have been listening before she entered.“And you are correct for ten points,” Spencer claps
We all are listening to Spencer as he explains. His voice cracks a bit as he does this and I gulp to try to get rid of the growing knot in my throat.“Henry is a bitch,” Spencer insults his father. “He had been cheating on her the moment I was born, and on top of that, he was being physically abusive to her. The anger that I show now is a small glimpse of my pain and trauma,” He explains and I can really relate to him.I too was raised in a lot of pain and trauma too. It creates so much anger, and all you want for yourself is freedom. I thought I got mine from killing my parents' killer, but I did not. Freedom never came, I only just experienced it when I met Robert.Robert changed the whole trajectory of my life, he is the best mistake I have ever made.“I am sorry that I taunted you earlier,” I apologize to him and he smiles softly.“It’s okay, and I am also sorry that I almost hit you. I am glad Robert stopped me because if he had not, I would have just the same as my father, an a
I love how my relationship with Robert is, I am so grateful I met this playboy. We both are good for each other, we bring out the best versions of each other.“The doctor also said that the cause of my bleeding may be us having sex. He had a medical explanation that I can not quite remember,” I explain to him and he rolls his eyes.“Oh, so because I tricked you, you want to try to do the same to me? I won’t fall for it, sweetheart,” Robert chuckles.“No, I am being serious, you can ask the doctor if you want,” I say seriously and he squints his eyes at me in suspicion.“So we can’t have sex until you have the baby?” He inquires and I nod.“Oof,” He says and I smile.“Can’t be that hard, can it? Just a couple of months without sex,” I shrug as I say this.After a few hours, the doctor informs us that I would be free to go home the next morning. I am some medicines to take with me when I go home, and also a small list of light exercises that I can do to stay healthy.I spend the night w
In some minutes, we reach the house and James drives us into the compound when the automated gates open. Though I have my suspicions about Cara, I certainly don’t have proof, so I best keep my opinions to myself.James brings the car to a stop as he parks it and we all exit. Carlos and the others enter the house, leaving Robert and me. We take our time walking to the entrance of the house.“So how do you feel?” He asks me and a hint of worry covers his face.“I feel fine, Robert, and the baby is. All I have to do is have no sex to avoid bleeding for now, and take my medicines, and vitamins, and take care of my body.” I tell him and he smiles.“Then that is exactly what you will be doing,” He says to me, giving me a small smile. He reaches for my hand and I gladly give it to him. We walk with our hands intertwined together and then we enter the mansion.***Eight Months Later***The morning air is sweet, and the light breeze swirling is heavenly. The sun is up and the day is warm, I hav
“Are you sure?” Cara asks me and I resist the urge to cuss her out. What kind of question is this? I am in literal pain and she is hearing my groans and me breathing heavily.“Call Robert,” I manage to say as I try to stand on my feet. I do so without problem with the help of Cara. Her eyes are dancing with nervousness, she really doesn’t know what to do, and neither do I. This is the first time for me to be having a baby.My goal right now is just to get to the clinic or the closest hospital. The pain in my abdomen keeps getting unbearable by the minute even though I am taking steady inhales of air while exhaling the same way.I watch Cara take the phone out of her pocket hurriedly and then she dials a number that I presume is Robert’s.“He’s not picking,” She says after s few rings.“Help me get downstairs, and then we will try to call again,” I reply to her and she nods. Cara soon helps me to go downstairs and out in the yard. As soon as I am out, a few security guards hurry towar
