ANDY’S POVHis assistant and I walk into the conference room and I sight him sitting at the head of the table.All heads turn towards us and it takes a while before he registers my presence.His eyes widen with a familiar look, once again looking at me like he had seen a ghost.I send a small nod towards his assistant and she exits the room.I square my shoulders and send a small smile to the men in the room as I walk towards Drake, making sure he was not suspecting what I was about to do.Although a slight frown graced his face, he still tried his best to keep up his stoic façade as I took further steps.I stand in front of him and my smile immediately disappears. My hand connects with his face in swift motion as I slap him.Shocked exclamations pierce through the room, but I don’t stop. I continue to slap him, as the thought of what he has done to me keeps ringing through my head.I continued to hit him as I let out a frustrated cry, before a man comes to create space between us.“Y
DRAKE’S POVThis has to be one of the many times I wished that my legs were working.I knew I was going to have another episode at this point and for some reason I wished the episode was one that could lead to my demise.I didn’t want to face this or anything else after that. I was suffocating. The whole thing was suffocating me.I began to pant in my seat, my chest tightening as it gets a little harder to breathe.It was happening again, and this time I didn’t plan on stopping it. I wanted to see how far it went.Maybe I deserved this and maybe I did not, but I knew I needed a release somehow.My body convulsed against my will, prompting my eyes to roll to the back of my head.The whole replayed over and over again in my head, how she wept and how they left. The look of disdain and disgust covering the features of their face as they stared at me like I was some monster.Maybe I am.But in this very moment, I didn’t care. I just wanted everything to end. I wanted this episode to be th
ANDY’S POVI block my eyes from the sun with my hand as I get up from the bed.I decided to sleep with the light on and I forgot to shut the window last night before I went to sleep, so the blinding sun greets me with a subtle threat of blindness.I put a slight pressure on my eye to ease the sleepiness before climbing out of the bed.It was hard to fall asleep last night because my mind didn’t stop replaying the events of that day and when I finally fell asleep, I did not know.Thankfully the exhaustion played a huge part, so I think I had a pretty good sleep.I decided to try some job hunting as I knew I needed a better paying job since I was literally working for two now.But what company or restaurant or anybody would take a pregnant woman that would work for less hours and still pay really well.But now that I think about it, I do have to meet Drake in the evening and if I went job hunting I might exhaust myself before noon and I did not want to put my baby at risk.I decided to
ANDY’S POVI gulp down the bottle of water as I wait for the bus to arrive. The sun these days have not been friendly, and thankfully too, because I don’t think I could bare a cold weather.I had missed the first bus so I had to wait for the second one.I was feeling tired already and I couldn’t wait to just get home. I didn’t want to seat down because the station seats were not looking like they wanted to be sat on.I can’t even try to think about the last time this place has been cleaned. It’s so dusty and dirty and there is trash everywhere. What’s worse, it is on the seat.Isn’t that a crime or something?Well you can’t know what is a crime and what is not when people like Drake are walking on the face of the earth.Who tries to literally take out the mother of his child? I don’t even want to know his reasons or anything, but you just don’t try over and over again to take someone’s life.For what?To cover your tracks? To keep your reputation? I just can’t wrap my head around this
DRAKE’S POV“Call me when you get home alright?” Matthew states sending me a knowing look as he steals a quick glance at Stephanie.I shake my head slightly, still standing on what I said.I knew Andy was just trying to drive a wedge between Stephanie and I and it wasn’t going to work.Maybe I still had my doubts about her, but there is no way she is some sort of mole in my life. Even if she was, I would have known since the first time I set my eyes on her.I didn’t even have time to think about that, because now I had to focus on getting better and get my body back to normal.Whatever this curse is, it is annoying me. It is not a necessity to have a child. If I don’t want one, then it should be easy to get rid of it.No need for all of this back and forth.If I wasn’t paralyzed right now and I didn’t have these side effects I would have thought it was all a ruse and she was trying to get through to me for my money.But Andy doesn’t even look like she is a money freak, but I have come
ANDY’S POV“I’m sorry Miss, but they are no vacancies at this point” The manager tells me and walks back into his office and I sigh, running my hand through my hair as my frustration runs through my veins.You have got to be kidding me. This is the fifth café today and I was getting exhausted. At this point I think I am out of breath.None of the cafes has had any vacancies, even the ones that had a huge billboard with the words clearly written, still told me they didn’t have any vacancies for me.I know Drake must have something to do with it, it’s been three days already and almost every shop in town and none of them agreed to give me a job.I would have to go out of town and maybe take an afternoon shift, because I would have to used all morning to get to work.But I think I need to go home now. My legs are beginning to hurt so bad and I just need to sit down. I decide to seat on one of the chairs in the café and take a rest. I rest my head against the table. I guess I can rest my
DRAKE’S POVMy hands swipe across my table in frustration and the files on it go flying to the floor, the cup of tree crashes to the floor.“I didn’t tell you to get a teenager involved!” I yell at him as he stands stoic and unmoving.“He wasn’t-““Shut up! Your main focus is her! Nobody else but her! Ruin HER life!” I was getting more and more frustrated by the second.Why can’t she just be wiped off the face of the earth? Why does she have to be breathing?And this…this idiot just had to get a teenager involved.“Wait…did she…by any chance, call my name?” I ask him. My reputation was still on the line here and my father’s approval of me.If he knew I was doing something like this, I am not sure he is going to approve. But I have to do what I have to do. It would break my father if he found out I got an ONS pregnant and probably make marrying Stephanie a little hard.If he found out, he might have to force me to marry Andy and I don’t even want to stay ten seconds with that living, b
DRAKE’S POVStephanie helps me get settled in bed quietly as once again try to get some sleep.It was getting to a tradition now, but I still wasn’t used to this. I wasn’t used to this at all.No matter how sleepy I was, the deeper I try to fall into a deep slumber, the louder the cries get.Then I know what’s coming next. The tightness in my neck and the tight congestions in my chest area.Multiple times the doctor had said I was fine, and there were no symptoms of what I was complaining about. Even after observation, results came out the same.It was starting to look like anytime I was getting a check up or trying to get treated by the hospital, the symptoms disappear, but when I get home. It is a whole different story.Something new has to happen every two days and sometimes persist for the whole week. Three months into this lifestyle and I still can’t predict what happens next. Except for the ones that had seemed consistent.I wasn’t getting any better and that was a fact. But And
