Chapter 2

In late pregnancies, the uterus pressed up against the bladder, and with how hard Levi hit me, he'd caused some of my urine to escape.

I was a sorry sight with my wet pants and greasy, disheveled appearance.

Claudia immediately covered her nose with her hands and turned around to dry-retch.

"Sorry, Ms. Freeman, but I have germophobia, and I'm very particular about cleanliness…"

Levi quickly patted her back to soothe her. Then, he turned around to glare at me. "Look at Claudia and then at yourself! She never went out of shape during her pregnancy, but what about you?

"You're as disgusting as a pig! Go and change out of your clothes this instant, you disgrace!

"Also, since Audie has germophobia, you'll be in charge of caring for her baby, including changing diapers and everything else. Understand?"

I was so angry that I started laughing.

"Are you telling me, Levi West, that you expect a heavily pregnant me to care for your bastard child after you spent all of my savings on your mistress?"

Levi's face flushed red with anger at once. He yelled at me, veins popping out of his neck, "Selena Freeman! Watch your words!

"All I did was donate some of my seeds to Audie. You never had to do a thing for us! You have no right to tell us what to do!

"Also, the doctors say that pregnant people should be moving around anyway to help with giving birth later on. That's why you should move about as well! It's for your own good!

"Otherwise, you're going to come to me crying and begging for a stupid epidural!"

Claudia gloated and said, "Oh, but I had my baby via C-section. Although I had some epidurals and pain shots, I still suffered quite a lot. Lev's just looking out for your baby. He doesn't want the epidural to harm your baby's brain!"

I glared coldly at Claudia. "Really? I guess your mom must have had plenty of epidurals then. You have no brain cells left to show for it!"

Levi then screamed at me, "Selena, I'm warning you, Audie just gave birth, and her emotions need to be stabilized! If you keep provoking her like this for no reason, don't blame me for going rough on you later!"

Although I kept telling myself that I shouldn't argue with brainless people like them, I couldn't stop myself after his shameless words.

I shook as I retorted, "Levi West! I am a pregnant woman too! My emotions need to be taken into consideration and cared for as well!"

Levi had always been disappearing at crucial moments ever since I got pregnant. He had never once come to the hospital with me for my regular check-ups or ultrasounds.

I initially thought that he had just been busy with work because of his new managerial position, but it seemed as though he had just been accompanying Claudia all this time!

"Levi! How could you say such shameless things?"

I threw my spatula at him. Levi immediately shielded Claudia behind him, but he forgot that he was holding a baby in his arms.

The spatula landed on the baby's blanket before falling to the ground.

Claudia screamed. "How dare you harm a baby!"

Levi continued roaring at me. "Selena Freeman! How dare you hurt a baby! You're a freaking animal!

"Get down on your knees and apologize to Audie and the baby this instant!"

I laughed coldly. "You're ordering me around now? What gives you the right?"

Levi slapped me hard. "Because I am your husband! Country bumpkins like you should know better than to go against your husbands. You have to obey my every word!

"I've been too lenient on you for far too long. You don't even know your place anymore. How dare you talk so haughtily to me?"

He slapped me with so much force that I crashed into the wall behind me before falling to the ground. I could taste blood, and half my face went swollen from the slap.

My stomach took a good hit against the wall too, and I felt an excruciating pain coming from it. I gasped loudly in pain, taking shallow breaths each time, and my body felt numb and paralyzed from the fall. I felt as though I would pass out at any moment.

I fished out my phone with much difficulty, wanting to call the ambulance. However, Levi immediately kicked my phone away.

"It costs 400 dollars to call the ambulance! That's more than enough to buy Audie a week's worth of supplements!

"Get up from the floor now and cut your act, you knucklehead!"

Seeing that I was lying unmoving on the floor, Levi kicked me twice in the chest.

"Selena Freeman! Get up and serve lunch! You stupid, good-for-nothing trash!"

It was Claudia who stopped Levi from kicking me any further. She saw that I was really in pain and pulled him away, a little frightened.

"Forget about it, Lev. It's fine if Ms. Freeman doesn't want to serve us lunch now. I can wait until she's done with her tantrum before she apologizes to me.

"I don't want to eat her cooking anymore anyway. But I've been craving crab legs for the longest time since my pregnancy. Can you bring me and sweetie to a seafood restaurant instead?" Claudia pleaded, shaking Levi's arm as she acted coquettishly with him.

I glared at the despicable pair and never felt so hurt and angry in my life. I balled my hands into fists.

If I didn't divorce this bastard of a husband now, then I would be subject to more provocations and humiliation in the future!
