2021-04-01 23:10:24Blossom's POV
Slowly, consciousness favored me. My eyes opened, peering at the familiar bedroom that felt like a shithole now.
I climbed out of the bed and went to the bathroom mirror. Turning on the light, I saw a bruised, battered and bloodied young woman's reflection, staring right at me. That woman was me.
What happened to me?
My shaking, fearful fingers touched my face. My eyes were swollen, my mouth was bursted, my face was covered in bruises. I looked as if I had been ran over by a wreckless driver. I looked terrible.
Tears streamed down my face. Makeup couldn't cover this up and a part of me felt like I had done enough covering up.
A knock came to the front entrance door to the mansion. I knew Hunter was already gone and I wasn't expecting any visitors.
I reached for sunglasses and a scarf. I covered up my face as best as I could before going to the door.
"Hunter! Is Hunter here?"

Blossom's POVThe bare thought of becoming pregnant with Hunter's child made my skin crawl. And with Jevan's would be dysfunctional. The last thing I wanted was to jeopardize his relationship with Adobi.~It was the following week. The bruises on my face healed nicely and I was looking forward to meeting up with Nina and Sophia for early morning coffee at our usual café."Ladies, from the bottom of my heart, I want to apologize to the you. The both of you. You two have been nothing but good to me and I turned around and became an ass," I sincerely apologized."Blossom, you were going through a lot and we understand. We're just so happy that you've moved away from Hunter," Nina beamed her usual beam and Sophia nodded in response."I got the bill," I told my friends when the bill arrived. I handed the waitress my debit card and she left to conduct the transaction."So, when are you going to come back

Jevan's POV"Of course I'm not pregnant," Adobi answered.I exhaled the air I didn't even know I was holding."I want our baby to be plan. I don't wish to give you unexpected news about our future child or to hide him from you," she went on, clearly throwing shot at Blossom."Understood," I responded."Jevan, let's take a week off. We can visit another country, spend some time together. Just the two of us. I don't like the way things are going between the two of us right now. Please?"A small creeping guilt captured me. The weekend in Hawaii was actually meant for the two of us but Blossom showed it and I couldn't keep my hands to myself."We can do that," I answered.She squealed happily and ran into my arms.~I made arrangements with Blossom to keep Jason. She was still at Nina's but she was getting a place of her own soon. My mom was making arrangements for that to happen

Blossom's POVI barged into Hunter's office."You son of a bitch! You told her, didn't you?"His eyes expanded from total surprise and he tried to cover up himself.Anger had blind me for a mere second but I finally caught wind of what was occurring in front of me.Hunter was getting a blow job from Brooke. She was kneeling behind his desk with her clothes off."You can't just walk into my office like this!" Hunter yelled at me."Why not? It's not like we're a couple and you're trying to cover up your tracks," I responded, being proud of myself for not feeling an ounce of hurt and betrayal.Brooke got on her feet, wiped her lips, got dressed and walked out the door, leaving me face to face with the man I now hated."Adobi showed up at your place, huh?" he asked with a chuckle."I know you're a lot of things but I never took you to be a snitch.""Hey. She has a right to know

The four of us were at the park, enjoying the day today with Jason.Jevan had invited his parents along so they hardly see much of their grandchild."You hardly bring him around. Why is that?" his father asked us."There's no excuse for that, dad. We do need to bring him around more often and have outings like this," Jevan responded."I would love that. Jason reminds me of you when you were that age. The resemblance and characteristics are so similar," Jasmine finished.As they continued gushing and reminiscing on the good old days, Jason tripped and fell.I quickly got up from where I was sitting and ran towards him.Another gen

I smirked and Jason giggled."Because you're not a baby, daddy. You're big," Jason gave his two cents.Blossom joined us at the table for cereal. We talked and interacted with Jason until he drifted off to sleep in my arms.I put him down to sleep and tucked him in.I went back into the kitchen."What are you doing here? Isn't Adobi looking for you?""I think I'm going to break up with her," I cut right to the chase, "I just can't take it anymore."I sighed loudly and sat down with Blossom across from me, looking at me as if I wasn't serious."Why? What happened?""Everything," I answered. I felt as if I was steaming. I didn't want to talk about my troubles anymore and Blossom understo

Adobi nagged as I reached for the keys to my BMW."Adobi, what example would I be setting for my son if I'm not there at his mom's side?" I asked with sigh."She's not your responsibility!" she raised her voice."But I have a responsibility to show to my child. His mom is in a hospital bed.""And you have a responsibility to show to me. You're my fiance, not hers!""Lower your voice when you talk to me. My son is upstairs," I cautioned.Adobi went red in the face. I never knew she could have went red in the face like that. She started pacing the room back and forth."Jevan, if you walk out that door, we're over."I couldn't stop the laughter from escaping my mouth. She can't be serious."Adobi, if it were you, I'd be there just the same so pleas

We can finally get married and raise our child together," she explained.I sighed."Jevan, aren't you happy?" she asked."This is a surprise.""Was it a surprise when you found out Jason is your son?""Adobi! Let's not do this right now and quite frankly, I believe that's why you got pregnant after time and time again you told me you were on the pill," I shouted in a whisper."You think I got pregnant on purpose?""Well, didn't you?"She remained silent."That proves that I can't trust you anymore. You can't be doing things like that and expect me to be happy.
