Three days went pretty wasted, I didn't get the job anywhere and the thought of being pregnant was killing me. I hadn't decided what I wanted to do with this pregnancy and the time was running out. And that was another reason I was pretty exhausted. I sat in the bed and scrolled through Ryker's Instagram, which was pretty loaded these days. He has been pretty active on social media, he never checked up on me.
Somewhere back in my mind, I refused to believe he never developed feelings for me. It could be this or that he was good at playing these games.
The silence was making me question if they were thinking of asking me to leave or be disappointed that I didn’t tell them that earlier."Oh My Goodness," Jamie mumbled, her eyes were wide opened and her jaw meeting the floor. Okay, I must say, her mood changed immediately once her brain was done processing."I'm going to be an uncle?" Roy smiled so wide that I was able to count his teeth and even peek inside his stomach. They were smiling and giggling very happily, I was in tears because I wanted to share the news with someone and get this kind of reaction. Their reaction truly made me feel lucky and happy."Oh wow, so there will be a child?" Jamie cheered, clapping her hands and in a hurry, she slammed the screen close, poor Roy. I almost choked on the laughter, because I swear I saw Roy’s face darkening when he noticed Jamie’s hand reaching the screen."You saw the kid here the first day? I will train our kid to kick his a*** eve
The guy rolled down the window and blinked very slowly, "take a hint, she doesn't wanna go with you." He mumbled very calmly, but his eyes digging holes through his soul. The drunk guy looked at me and then at the guy in the car and finally took a hint and drove away.I sighed once I saw him driving away from us. Wasn't I saying the same thing the guy told him?"You okay?" He questioned, his eyes blinking very slowly and watching me. He had a very calming nature, the way he talked was extremely gentle too."Yeah, I guess." I nervously played with my fingers when I saw him watching my every move very keenly. I didn't know what to think of him, maybe he was also thinking the same."I won't force you." He said, waiting for my response. I watched his face for only a second and asked myself, is there any harm in doing so? I mean there was a time when it was a big deal for me, but now I know the world is brutal and I can't keep myself safe so
"No! I'm fine." It was a reflex that I jerked her hand off my shoulder and glared her in the eye hatefully. How could she say something like that? My baby is fine, I know my baby is fine."I'm so sorry." She repeated, watching my face very sadly."You are not sorry, and I can still feel the baby inside me," I argued, no I wasn't sad. I mean I wanted to abort this child anyway, then why was I reacting like that?Why did it feel so bad to hear that I've lost my child? Was I fooling myself all that time when I said I want to abort this baby? Did I actually want to abort the baby?"You need to rest." She tried pushing me back onto the bed but it just hurt. I thought I would feel free, but no, it was all pain and nothing else."Please tell me my baby is okay?" It was then that I broke into tears, referring the baby from this baby to my baby. I have made a mistake, I thought I didn't want my baby, but I crave this ba
3 Months Later:"This one?" Jamie held a white and purple dress in front of her to show me how would it look on me. These past few months had been so easy on me and I thank Jamie and Roy for it.They were always there for me as a supporting friend, like a good family."Nah!" Roy and I said in unison. Jamie was the only one doing something, Roy and I had been seated on a perfectly comfortable couch and sipping through fresh juice all this time."You are not doing anything." Jamie narrowed her eyes at Roy, who was busy taking my pictures. I was having fun saving these memories, he also taught me how to make a perfect pout for pictures."Seriously, that's enough for today, I'm tired." I sighed, pissing off Roy, which was my favorite hobby. Walking out of the mall while holding hands with Jamie, I giggled along with her."You left the bag inside." Roy scolded Jamie, who eyed him back, they both excused and ran
"It has to be for you." Jamie continued with the massage and stated while brainstorming at the same time, "Yep! It is for you." she bobbed her head while watching my face."Must be for Scarlet, he never loved me anyway." I shrugged my shoulders, acting like I don't care. I had already done that before and it took me nowhere. I left him 3 months ago when I saw his engagement post."But the way he reacted to our drama today made me think maybe he was suffering from some kind of misconception," Roy stated as he kept looking through Ryker's Instagram on Jamie's phone. They were dissecting every single post by him like an investigator."Yeah misconception of me never going to move on from him, and by the way, even if so, he should have talked to me. When you love someone, you fight for them. You don't just randomly believe in any shi* and break up with your lover. It feels like he was making an excuse in his mind to breakup with me." I
"Irvin!" Jamie's words repeated in my head, shaking me in my skin. It can't be happening right now, just when I thought I had finally escaped the bad people, I invited him right to me."Jamie do you know what you are saying?" I questioned in fear and shock. My head was hurting and my mind not working. Jamie turned around to watch my face after my voice came out in terror. She scanned my face very confused and then proceeded to approach me."Why, why do you look so scared?" She interrogated, her eyes scanning the fear on my face. She stopped right in front of me and kept staring at me in the hopes of getting an answer."This guy Irvin is horrible; he is the reason I'm wandering around with no specific place." I found myself shivering uncontrollably. I hadn’t felt this fear in so long that I had almost forgotten about how to deal with such fear."Kathleen you must have mistaken him with someone else." Jamie was confident that I was wrong, but I knew t
We all three sat silently, looking at each other like we have nothing to say. So much happened in such a short period of time. I was going through hell in my heart because this was all unexpected, why can't I ever stay longer at a place?I was gonna go back to the building where I have so many people that hates my guts. How am I gonna survive there? Not to mention, Ryker wouldn't be very nice to me either."It hurts that you have to leave like that, I was so excited for the baby." Roy was the first one to break the silence, while Jamie was sitting facing the wall. I know it wasn't her mistake, she was just trying to help.Did she look like such a baby, imagine giving birth and living with them? That would have been so much fun. Everything ruined because of one person; Irvin."I will miss you both," I announced, I didn't want to go with Ryker because he will be having fun asking me a
Ryker walked ahead of me. I felt like he knew I might be noticing him because he was trying to act cool by constantly moving his broad shoulders that I knew loved about him and running a hand through hair."Your room," we walked into the building and he pointed at the room that I used to live in before. It was such a weird feeling to be back in this building after months of living outside of it."I will need a new lock," I stated confidently. I walked inside the room and scanned it, nothing had been touched. It was just the way I had left it. Now that I was not working for them, I didn't feel like obeying them even though I was more desperate for help now than ever, but maybe staying with Jamie and Roy had given me enough confidence to at least say what I felt like was the right thing to say."Listen," he growled out of the blue once he followed me inside the room, "I'm not going to land in your room like before, so don't worry." He angrily stated, his eyes narr

It's been two weeks that my husband never got back to me or even let me aware of his whereabouts, it wasn't like I was complaining because I knew our last interactions had caused me stress."Is everything prepared?" My mother asked Willow, they were focused on my welcome party which we had delayed for a long time because of the stress going on with the situation between Roy and Irvin."Almost done, it will be the best frea*ing welcome party ever." Willow cheered, doubling checking the notepad to make sure all the preparations were done nicely.I was resting on the couch, my palms on my bump and gently rubbing it. We were all caught by surprise when a known face walked in from the door."Ryker!" my mother announced.He was in blue jeans and a black shirt, looking fresh. Seeing him made me miss a heartbeat, not because of how good-looking he was, but because somewhere inside my heart, I was scared of him."Get her stuff ready, I'm taking her h
My heart was pounding hard in my chest until Roy, stupid Roy gasped."No! Please no." Jamie began crying loudly, holding her hand on her heart. "Please come back." She cried, sobbing madly and not knowing how to react.My body was shivering, Willow tightened her grip around my hand and bit her lower lip in sadness."I will baby, it's just a matter of few days," Roy said in a tired tone, wait, what? we all thought he was dying, what the hell just happened?"Roy?" Jamie stopped crying and questioned with a straight face. We all shared a glance and then stared down at the phone, what the hell just happened?"Yeah, baby." He replied from the other side, sounding alive and kicking."You are not dead?" she inquired, of course happy, but confused at the same time. We all shared glances. Mr. Parker, who had arrived a minute ago, shared a glance with Paul and they both began laughing but definitely covering their mouth so that nobody coul
Kathleen's POV:The next two days went by and Ryker didn't check up on me, the woman who he got married to, and the same woman who was carrying his unborn child that he was so worried about. I left my room to check up on Jamie, who had stopped eating from a day ago, she was turning into a completely different person. She didn't care about anything anymore.After she had received that text from Roy, she seemed to have lost herself."Hey!" She has been awfully silent in those previous days. The only person she would now talk to was Kellie, who has built a good connection with Jamie."I can't stop thinking about Roy." She uttered, leaning against the wall and folding her arms on her chest. It was true that ever since Roy left, he took Jamie's charms along. It seemed like she has grown mature in those few days of a departure with him."Did you talk to him after that night?" I questioned, I felt like it was all my mistake but Jamie kept
Jamie's POV:The wedding happened. Although it was deemed to be the saddest day for Kathleen and us, I still believed things would have been different if Roy was around. He had this fun personality that could light up even the broken lamp.Sadly, ever since he had left, the light from my life had begun to fade away. Nothing interested me anymore, it seemed as he took my smile away with him.With every passing minute, my body would feel this weird coldness around me."Why do you not dress up?" Paul had left Kellie here for her to spend some time with us and also because she gave me happiness.Kathleen was dead asleep in her bed, Willow and I were playing board games with Kellie."I don't feel like doing so these days," I gave her a smile and stole eyes from her. If she had met me when Roy was around, she would have been surprised by how cheerful I was."But why?" She asked. We all looked at the food tray hungrily that
Every girl wants their marriage to be special, something memorable, but that wasn't the case on the day of my wedding. It wasn't a regular, happy marriage. We were going to get married in court, marrying a stranger would have been better than marrying a known devil. My heart cried inside, but I kept my calm and a smile on my face to make sure the others around me don't panic along. They have all gone through hell and back with me.It wasn't the only thing worrying me, I wanted Roy to be here. Mr. Parker did try to talk to Ryker to push the wedding a bit, but he straight up declined. Of course, he did.I wondered how he was going to behave with me after our marriage because imagine moving in with him alone. I had worn a black knee-length dress, everybody else also dressed up to celebrate the wedding in the form of a lunch afterward.We met up with Paul in the court, who was wearing a white suit and a smile on his face. Well, guess who was missing?"Where i
We all were headed back to our respective rooms after dining together when I passed by Jamie's room and my eyes caught her sight.She had eaten dinner before us because she said she was sleepy, but I found her awake and waiting for someone to pass by her room."You were waiting for me?" I knew what was happening, my voice snapped her out of her thoughts.She smiled very weakly and patted the spot beside her on the bed where she was perched at. I smiled back at her and joined her."What's going on Jamie?" I asked once I found her very uneasy and anxiously rubbing her hands together."You know, when I first met Roy, my heart instantly knew we were soul mates. Big term right? But it's true. Ever since then, whenever he would go out of the city for running errands for Irvin, my heart still felt the connection." her cuteness was next level, I couldn't help but smile at how passionately she spoke of Roy."That's so cute," I smiled her way, utterin
"Willow!" I had to shake myself out of the trance, everyone around me was suffering because of me and I couldn't even defend them."Paul! I don't understand what is going on with you, but I would rather listen to them than you. You cannot come here, acting like you know anything about that happened between Ryker and me." I raised my voice, finally taking back the control.His posture suddenly softened as he explored around awkwardly."What is going on here?" we all turned around to the voice of Jamie, who had just decided to come back with Kellie from outside."Nothi---" Paul had only opened his mouth when Willow stopped crying and shared a quick glance with mother, I knew they were not the types to give up so soon."Your brother-in-law here thinks we are all manipulating Kathleen and Ryker is the only one suffering while Kathleen is not even eligible to be a mom." Willow lied and my mother nodded hard, agreeing with her."Wait, what did you
It's been two days and I have not received any more threats from Ryker. Everybody around me was trying their best to cheer me up, but things were looking bad at this point.I don't know what was going on with Ryker and by every passing minute, my brain kept hinting me that he was going to storm in with his lawyer and shove some kind of papers in my face."Just one more slice," Willow rolled her eyes as she tried to feed me another slice of apple. I was sitting on the couch in the living room, my eyes blankly zoned out in space when Willow caught my attention."I'm fine, Willow. I can't eat more." I intended to give her a weak smile, but then my brain couldn't process the information my heart sent it and I ended up murmuring with no emotions."Everything will be fine, you know." Willow put the plate on the table in front of us and checked her phone, "See this!" a bright smile covered her lips as she saw something on her phone screen, she switched it to me
