Seraphina's POV

I stand in front of the mirror, staring at myself like I don’t even know the girl looking back. The long-sleeved bodycon dress hugs my body, but the sleeves cover every mark, every bruise I don’t want the world to see. My hair’s a mess, just twisted into a bun, loose strands falling out no matter how many times I try to fix it. I don’t care enough to fix it anymore.

Mom keeps walking around behind me, fixing her makeup for the tenth time. She looks excited, like this dinner means something big. For me, it’s just another night I have to survive.

‘Fix your hair at least,’ she says, giving me a pointed look from the door.

I tug at a loose strand but don’t bother trying. ‘It’s fine.’

She huffs but lets it go. I know she wants tonight to be perfect. I also know I’m going to ruin it, no matter how polite I try to be. I can’t fake it. Not today.

When we arrive at the Hill’s mansion, the place is too clean, too perfect, like it’s dressed up for a magazine photo. Mr. Hill stand

  • Pregnant For My Bully    Bruised Hearts

    Seraphina's POV The air feels heavy between us and I feel like I can't breathe. Why can't I fuvking feel my lungs burning?Ray doesn’t back off. Of course, he doesn’t. He never did know when to shut up. Even at school. He was literally a woman talkative.Jonathan stands a few feet away, his fists clenching and unclenching by his sides. His eyes are cold and fixed on Ray. He looked like he wanted to murder someone at that moment. Ray just grins. ‘Relax, man. I’m just saying hi to an old friend. Sera's an old friend, isn't she?' He laughs.‘You’re not her friend,’ Jonathan snaps, stepping forward.I take a small step back. I feel like a puppet being controlled by two masters from the banter going on between Jonathan and Ray and quite frankly, I don’t want to be anywhere near this.‘Sure I am. We go way back,’ Ray says, tilting his head toward me. ‘Remember that time we locked her in the gym closet? What was it, like six hours? She cried the whole time, pounding on the door. Damn, her

  • Pregnant For My Bully    No Trust

    ~ Seraphina's POVI don’t look back as I walk toward the house. I don’t care if I’m limping a little. I don’t care if my dress is torn or that I probably look like shit. My palms sting and there’s blood drying on them, crusting under my nails. I wipe them on the side of my dress, but it only smears the red into dark patches.I feel gross. So gross.Inside, the lights are warm and soft, but they don’t make me feel any better. I head straight for the nearest guest bathroom, ignoring the looks the helps in the house are giving me. I lock the door behind me, taking a deep breath.Then I finally look in the mirror.God.I look tired. My hair’s a mess, my eyes are red. The smeared makeup makes me look like I’ve been crying for hours even though I didn’t let myself shed a single tear back there. I had made sure I held it in good. Ray? He is more a jerk than I have pictured him in my head. I run the tap and hold my hands under the water. The sting from the little stab is sharp. I bite my li

  • Pregnant For My Bully    Boo!

    Chapter 14~ Seraphina’s POVI don’t say a single word during the whole ride home.Not to my mom, not even when she lets out little annoyed sighs beside me, like it’s somehow my fault the night wasn’t perfect. I just keep my eyes on the window, watching the streetlights flash by. The car’s so quiet you could hear a pin drop, except for the occasional buzz of her phone when she gets a text.I’m not even mad anymore. I’m just tired. Bone-deep tired.When we finally pull into the driveway, I’m out of the car before the driver even properly parks it. I slam the door a little too hard, but whatever. Mom doesn’t say anything. She’s already on her phone again and I don’t wait for her. I head inside, up the stairs, and straight for my room.Thank God for the silence. Thank God I don’t bother turning on the light.The darkness is actually kind of nice. It hides everything. The messy bed, the clothes on the chair, the suitcase I never fully unpacked. I kick off my shoes, sighing, finally feeli

  • Pregnant For My Bully    Shocking Revelation

    I grip my book tight to my chest as I run in tears, making my way to the bathroom. The tears, clouding my eyes make it difficult for me to see properly and I bump into someone, the chocolate on my body affecting the clothes of the person. ‘I'm so sorry,’ I sniff, not raising my head to even see who it is. I make to leave, but an arm is outstretched in front of me and connects with the wall, preventing me from leaving. The chocolate poured on me is sticky and I want nothing more than to lock myself up in the girl's bathroom and cry my eyes out on why my life is always the most miserable. I clean my tears and make to raise my head, but then he places his arm on my head and forces it to stay still, making me unable to see who it is, but my instincts are already screaming his name. Jonathan. I can already tell by his veiny forearms. ‘Look at you, so weak,’ he tuts, giving me a condescending look. I don't raise my head to see him, but I can feel it. ‘Please…’ I stuttered. ‘Let m

  • Pregnant For My Bully    Accidenté

    I feel like I can't breathe, like I'm trapped in a nightmare from which I can't wake. I try to push past the crowd and leave the cafeteria, but it's like I'm frozen in place. The world feels like it's crashing down around me.'Wow, she's a bitch just like her mother. I guess bitch runs in the family,' Whitney cackles. Everything blurs in my vision.I try to convince myself not to cry, but I don't know why my eyes keep getting watery.I'm going to be Jonathan's stepsister. I'm going to be a relative to Jonathan? My mom didn't tell me about this. She just went ahead with her decision to marry his father, Mr Declan Hill, the most influential man in Pennsylvania.'You know what pains me the most?' Sheila, Whitney's minion asked. Despite the swirling thoughts of confusion and betrayal running through my mind, I couldn't help but want to listen to what she had to say.'It's actually the fact that she had tried to seduce Jonathan multiple times and failed, then her mother hit on his father a

  • Pregnant For My Bully    Disabled?

    I can't breathe. I literally can't breathe! Someone, get me an interpreter because I don't quite understand what this doctor is talking about.I am partially disabled. Huh? What did I do? I have heard there is a creator of the universe. An almighty. But why, hmm? Why does he always find pleasure in watching me live a miserable life like an episode after an episode?I got chocolate thrown on me, I had gotten physically assaulted, and I got hit by a car (which was totally my fault), but still? Now that I decided to help myself earn money and go to college, I can't use my right hand? The most important one? Is this a joke or some sort of prank?Damn, almighty, this is 100- nil. This game of life isn't fair and I want you to please, please take it away from me.'Take me away you bastard!' I cry out this time, startling both Jonathan's dad, my mom and the doctor.'I'm sorry,' I lowered my head and rested my head back on the pillow, sighing. No wonder I wasn't able to raise it when I wanted

  • Pregnant For My Bully    Good Friends, No Pity

    I look up at him to wait for his annoying grin that shows he was joking. My heart raced as fast as it did when I was running the relay in 8th grade. But I don't know why it is racing this much. Because of his breath tickling my skin or because of his words. 'I told you I wasn't done with you in the hallways yesterday. Why did you leave?' He whispers in my ear and I feel my body shiver. Why is my body suddenly acting this way towards him? What does this mean? Is this a side effect of my head injury? 'I'm asking you a question, Finna, damn it!' He slams his palm on the armrest of the wheelchair. I flinch. 'Why shouldn't I have left?' I raise my chin. 'Because I told you not to.' 'Who do you think you are to boss me around?' He smirks. The one I know too well to be wicked. Then he stands straight, giving me space to breathe. 'Who I am...' He chuckles. 'You know what you make me want to do to you? You make me want to hurt you. See you bend and break that nasty attitude of yours

    My eyes widen. Celine yelps in surprise as Jonathan's face moves to the side from the impact of Alistair's fist.What has he done?!Jonathan only smirks and wipes off the blood on his nose. Then his smirk turns into a full-blown laugh.'I'm tired of you treating everyone like they're beneath you. Especially Seraphina,' Alistair barks, but Jonathan keeps laughing like a maniac.'Oh, you've outdone yourself, Partridge,' he says and stands straight. Then he lands a punch on Alistair's nose. And again, and again. He kept throwing repeated punches in his face.Celine stands and tries to calm both of them, but they don't listen. I tried to stand, and I fortunately did, but my legs hurt, but then I stand up. 'Jonathan!' I call out in a loud voice, limping like a kid till I am next to him. He seems to listen because he stops his eyes widening. Then Celine rushes to grab Alistair, moving him away from there.'This isn't over, Alistair, I will deal with you!' Jonathan says and pushes me to the

  • Pregnant For My Bully    A Mess I Shouldn’t Care About

    Chapter 13Jonathan’s POVI sit on the floor, staring at her.The room is too quiet. The only sound is her shallow breathing. Her head is bowed, her arms tight around her middle like she’s holding herself together.I should have walked away the moment I saw her lying on that road. I should’ve let someone else deal with it. But I didn’t. I couldn’t. My body moved before I thought. And now she’s here, sitting like a ghost, she stays too quiet and still, making me feel things I don’t want to feel.I drag a hand through my hair. My chest is tight, and it pisses me off.I told myself I’d stopped. Told myself I wouldn’t care anymore. I wasn’t going to feel guilty. I wasn’t going to think about her. I wasn’t going to give a damn. But no matter how many times I told myself that, it didn’t stick.Even when I wasn’t looking for her, my eyes found her. Even when I wasn’t thinking about her, she crept into my head. I called it hate. I told myself that’s all it was. But now, staring at the bruises

  • Pregnant For My Bully    Bruised And Hurt

    Whitney’s words wrap around me like cold chains, making me stay locked to the ground. My throat dries, and I clench my hands so tight my nails dig into my palm, even the bandaged and casted one throbbing with pain. I don’t answer her. I can’t. My voice wouldn’t even come out right now.I have no idea why. Every other person had backed off, and for a moment, I had thought that maybe, just maybe, I'll be let off today.Whitney’s group slowly circles me like vultures, their faces painted with fake pity and mocking grins. One of them, Sabrina, leans forward and whispers loud enough for everyone to hear, ‘I heard you were showing off your cast and bandages to Jonathan in the hospital. Was that your grand plan? Play the weak little girl to get his attention?’‘Did you know that, Whitney?’ She looks up at Whitney whose eyes are fixed on me, staring daggers at me.A few snickers follow. My heart sinks deeper into my stomach, and my body stiffens. I lower my head, not wanting to stare at them.

  • Pregnant For My Bully    Eyes On Me

    It has been two weeks. Two weeks ago, I got run over by a car. Two weeks ago, I received death threats ij my hospital bed. Two weeks ago, someone came into my ward and tried to strangle me. Two weeks ago, I found out my abusive father was going to be released in two months- which, if you deduct two weeks which is fourteen days from two months which was sixty days, I'm left with forty six days till he gets released. A man who touched me as a kid. A man who would hit me if I didn't touch him well enough. A man who would cut my skin if I didn't keep shut. A man who–I don't even want to think about it anymore. I involuntarily curl myself and wrap my arms around my body. I whimper as the memories come crashing down on me.My fingers begin to move on their own, pinching and scratching on my skin because I can feel him right here. Right here with me. I breathe. In and out. In and out. I can't breathe. I can't…The sound of my alarm jerks me back to reality and I almost jump out of my bed

    Seraphina's POV I look away from him, taking a deep breath as my fingers clench around the sheets. ‘What is it?’ Celine asks him, standing and walking towards him. ‘It says, “You don't deserve to live”,’ Alistair reads the note I found yesterday aloud so Celine could hear, ‘The hell does that mean? You didn’t even bother to tell us about this?’ He scolds me, anger written all over his face. ‘Let me see that!’ Celine snatches the note from his grasp and reads through it. Her face of amusement falls to a confused one. ‘Are you being threatened? Bullied in the hospital? Whoever is playing these pranks is definitely taking this way too far!’ She hisses in anger, crumpling the paper and trashing it in the bin. ‘I can't believe you didn't tell us about this. Are you hiding things from us? I thought we promised to tell each other everything?’ Alistair asks a look of disappointment flashing through his face before he masks it with that cold indifference he usually carried around. ‘I'm

    The door opens and two people step in. I can't make out their silhouettes from here until they step into my ward and switch on the light. ‘Sera!’ Celine sighs and hurries over to me, sitting right on the side of my bed, her fingers pushing hair out of my face while Alistair leans against the wall, crossing his arms. ‘Oh my God, you don't look like you're getting better. And your head? It Is burning! What are the doctors doing? Aren't they coming to check on you?’ She asks, her words are rushed as her hands plaster all over on my face, trying to check and gauge my temperature. I sigh and roll my eyes at her melodramatics and, use my free hand that isn't connected to IV drips to pull her hands away from my face. ‘Celine, I'm fine. It's literally just a little fever.’She frowns, not convinced. ‘A little fever? Sera, you look like death warmed over. It is not just a little fever! I see you got run over by that truck so—’‘Let her be, Celine,’ Alistair scoffs with an eyeroll, ‘You are
