2 months later..
Maria's POV
It's been 2 months, 2 months of this. And It's been nothing but hell and burning hands.
I've been cleaning the house every day for 2 MONTHS! Every day I get up at 4 am and start to clean this huge ass mansion all by myself. It usually takes me up to 18 hours every day, but at the start, it took me 20 hours. So 4 hours of sleep is the maximum I get everyday.
Now it's Tuesday, February 5th at 4:00 am and I'm just getting myself out of bed. Recently, I've been feeling quite Ill. Every morning I wake up and a wave of nausea hits me like a truck, sometimes leaving me puking until I'm completely empty or pass out. I don't know if I'm pregnant; I had hoped to try and find out today, but there's no way of doing that without having Luke find out.
If you're wondering, no, I don't sleep in the same room as Luke anymore, I sleep in the maids quarters. I mean, I'm not complaining or anything, it's a lot nicer than I thought it to be
Maria's POVThe shock of those few words has my body completely frozen in place. I reach down and touch my belly, now feeling the obvious weight gain.I stare at the redhead doctor, with my jaw dropped."Oh god...." I gasp covering my mouth with my hand. I lean back in bed. "oh god no..."Tears started to form in my eyes and I brought my knees to my chest. How could I have let this happen? Why did I have to give into temptation and spread my legs for that son-of-a-bitch.I feel a hand reach out and brush against my skin. "Maria.. are you alright?" Luke asked putting a hand on my shoulder.I look over to him then, back to dr. Montgomery who's now talking. "Maria, I need you to lay down so we can check on your ba-,"Before she could finish the word, "baby" I get out of bed and bolt down that hall in a matter of seconds.If there was one thing I was good at, it was running. So that's what I do.I run out of the double doors
The next morning at 8 am.Maria's POVI wake up startled this morning from hearing and abruptly loud snore let out of Luke. My head is resting on his chest and the remainder of our naked bodies are tangled together after the long night last night.I prop myself up, my breasts pressed against his chest and my hand stroking his sharp jaw. I place a kiss on his lips, murmuring, "good morning, Baby."His eyes flutter open, revealing his ocean blue orbs and he smiles. "Good morning, Bellissima." He returns the gesture with twice the passion, pulling my leg over him so that I straddle him.A shiver runs down my back at the feel of his bulge underneath my core.Sitting up, he pulls me even closer to him and begins grinding against me. "How did you sleep?" he asks as though what he's doing should have no affect on me.I bite down on my lip, trying to suppress a moan building up in me. I clench my legs together, trying to compose myself again.
Luke's POVAs soon as I arrive back from the warehouse, I immediately sense that something was off. Rather, someone isn't here.I toss my leather jacket onto my office chair, but as I do so, I catch a glance of the computer screen. I get closer to the screen and see the bold words of: WAREHOUSE MEETING TONIGHT. An email that was only for me to see, but unluckily showed up here on this very computer Maria just so happened to be using."For fuck sakes," I groan and grab my jacket again, pulling it over me. I check the load on my gun before running back out to my truck.Soon, I pull up to the warehouse again, noticing Maria's rover a few blocks before.Thank god it's still there. What the hell would I do if I lost her?I shift the truck into park and turn it off as I make my way out in a hurry. "Maria!" I yell out, approaching the warehouse door and swinging it open with ease. "Where the hell are you, Maria?! I know you're in here."I ta
Maria's POV"Socks, underwear, T-shirt's, pants, toothbrush..." I mumble to myself as I rummage through my backpack. Everything seems to be here, but I seem to be missing something important. "Aha! Money, I need money!"I zip the bag up and swing it over my shoulder. The door is locked but I have a plan to get my money and get the hell out of here. Who knows when Luke will be back?Our bedroom is on the second floor and has a balcony outlooking the pool below us, and just over lapping it by an inch. I'm still pretty sore from the beating I received, but I'm confident I can escape. There is absolutely no way I will let this child live a life like this; they deserve better than what I've received.I crack open the glass door to the balcony and look out to the pool. Currently there are no pool cleaners, maids, or guards in sight. This is my chance and the universe wants me to take it now.Taking my bag from my shoulder, I toss it down onto the dry gro
3 months later LUKE'S POV We've been looking for her non-stop these past few months. There's been lots of close traces but they just went no where. We know she left her car at a dealership, stole 1 million fucking dollars from me, and left the city by bus. And now, she's completely untraceable. I kick back in my office chair and watch the security tapes play over and over again, watching Maria's every move: from her exiting her car, going to the bank to getting on a bus. "Wait! Play that back." I yell to Cody. He plays it back and I see the name of the bus. "GreenPort Transportation," I read. "Find video footage of her there.. But I think it's safe to say, we're going to GreenPort." I confirmed. "Alright, should I make a team of guards up?" Asks Cody. "Yes.." I say, getting up from the office chair with pure satisfaction. Then I turn back towards him. "Oh, I forgot to ask. How's Bethany?" Cody smiles, "she's due
I hang up the phone in a panic, roughly letting it crash down on to the counter."No, no, no, he can't find me!" I cry out as I scurry back towards my bedroom where I plan to retrieve a suitcase and leave again.A creak of floor boards sound behind me. "But I already did, Maria"I hear the door close. I look over and see Luke standing there in all his glory of finding me.As he starts to walk up to me, I back into the wall, shielding myself with both my hands so I don't have to look him in his icy blue eyes.I eventually hit the wall and he puts both of his arms up by me, making a barrier.He chuckles evilly. "So, how has Maria been? Did your boyfriend fuck you as good as I do?" He asks, stroking my face with a rough thumb.I shed a tear as I look to him. "I- I never even kissed him, I swear!" I panic.He nodded. "Good, good..." he says, getting his face closer to mine. "Because you're mine!" He grabbed my arm tightly in his la
Luke's POV"Maria?" I call out to her as I watch her peacefully sleep in the arm chair a few feet from the end of the bed. Even with one whole side of a bed there just for her, she stills decides to curl up in my arm chair with the blanket that I use each night. It was a blanket that my Mama had knitted for me just before she had went missing... I use it as an extra cover on the cooler nights.Sighing, I approach Maria, placing my hand against the small of her back a crouch down in front of her.She's so beautiful when she sleeps... I can barley even sit here still without wanting to stroke her locks and plant lustful kisses on her sweet, reddened cheeks.Suddenly, her body begins rustling from underneath my blanket and her soft green eyes blink open in surprise. "What are you doing, Luke?" she groggily question as she stirs awake and sits up in the arm chair. Coming to a full sitting position, she winces in pain, placin
“Oh god Bethany!” I gasp, looking down at her bleeding and pale body.She peers up at me, nothing but desperation in her sad brown eyes. “Please, Maria… help me…” she groans, looking down at the pool of blood between her legs.Nodding hurriedly, I bend over and help her up off of the ground and begin guiding her into the house and towards the living room.As we slowly move towards the living room, I begin to feel cramping on my lower stomach."It's just Braxton Hicks.. It's just Braxton Hicks." I whisper to myself, trying not to worry Bethany anymore.Bethany groans in pain the whole entire way there, clinging to her lower stomach and tears flowing down her cheeks. And oh god.. there’s so much blood by the time we reached the living room.I put her down on the big leather couch and and sit down on the coffee table in front of her, sighing deeply.She screams loudly again holding her stomach
Jasmine and I both look to each other right after we had both just shared the shocked statement of, "Wait.. what?"I take a deep breath at attempt to gather myself while Jasmine slowly walks to Maria's bed beside Aaron. "Aaron, sweetie?" She touches his shoulder and he stares sadly with his big blue eyes. "Does Mommy have a baby in her stomach?" She asks and points to Maria's abdomen.Aaron nods then directs his attention back to unconscious Maria. "Mama, wake up.." he whispers and continues to stroke her hand softly.My brain feels like it might explode. How could I have let this happen? Fuck, I promised things would change and that she'd be safe this time. But of course, that fucking stalker had to show up again right when we were starting to become happy again.
Unknown's POV"Holy shit, Boss," Amanda gasps. "Y-you killed him!"Standing up from the solid stance I was just in, I flick on the safety to my weapon and stuff it back into the holster. "Don't act so surprised," I remark, quickly facing her then back to the unconscious woman who now has a corpse on top of her. "C'mon, let's get this disgusting excuse for a human off of her and help the poor woman." Then we all rush towards her and us women pull the big bulky man off of her."Thank god," I hear Lindsey breathe out."What the hell are you talking about?" I scrunch my eyebrows together and face her with pure confusion."We got here just in time, this bastard nearly rap
A month later..Maria's POV"Mommy!" A whispery voice calls out. "Mommy I needs to pee! Wake up!"I groan and sit up in bed, only to see Aaron at the foot of my bed, legs crossed and holding himself. "Where's Dad?" I ask as I groggily stumble out of bed and lead Aaron to the bathroom."Work," he says right before he almost rips off his pants and sits down on his little potty.I leave Aaron to do his business while I go over to the sink to get ready for the day. When I open the drawer to retrieve my toothbrush and face wash, I notice my feminine products neatly organized in a basket. I reach in and grab the basket and set it on the countertop. At the
The next morning, I wake up to a faintly familiar feeling beneath me. I pull my head off of the comforting warmth I'm laying on and see Luke sleeping peacefully; his broad, muscular chest on display for me."Shit," I mouth to myself as I attempt to recall what happened last night, but I'm left dumbfounded. All I know is that we slept together.Bad girl, Maria. Bad, bad girl.Sighing disappointedly, I sit up fully and get out of bed as quietly as possible. As I reach for the nightgown that is now on the floor, I hear the blankets and sheets shuffle about and soon a husky, "Maria? Where are you going?""Home," I reply as I scurry to put my dress back on my now cold body.Luke sighs hea
Maria's POVA few hours after Luke had left with Aaron, I was already finished cleaning the house and left with absolutely nothing to do. It's past 7 o'clock by now and I've decided to make some toast for supper.Once my 'dinner' is done, I turn on some Grey's Anatomy and plop down on the couch in front of the T.V. I've only started watching the show and I'm beginning to realize the Dr. Montgomery on there looks alike to my Dr. Montgomery.Watching Grey's Anatomy is one of the things I do while Aaron is either sleeping or at his fathers. Other than that, I usually clean the house until it can't be cleaned or will go for a run.Watching this show will be the closest experience I'll ever have to being a doctor.
A week later...Maria's POV"Aaron!" I gasp as I lift him from his crib which causes me to get an even bigger whiff of his stinky diaper. He smiles knowingly while I shake my head with a slight giggle.I carry the little stinker over to the changing table and place him down on the soft cushiony surface. He brings his hands to his feet and uses his baby flexibility to attempt to put his foot in his mouth. "Aaron.." I warn and he stops in the motion and stares up at me. "What did mommy say about trying to eat your feet? It's no good for you!" I tell him and he releases his foot.Grabbing a diaper, I undress him from his yellow giraffe onesie and put a new diaper and clothes on him.
Maria's POVA month later...This life is hell. This life is a hell no one should have to experience.I've gone a month without barely seeing my baby and holding him because of my actions.The day I was told to feed Aaron, I had refused to hold him out of fear I may hurt him again. This means I pump the milk from myself now and makeup bottles for him which a maid brings 5 times a day.My days always consist of the same things: Sleeping, eating when I can, pumping, gardening, and reading. I lead a very depressing life.Since I almost never talk to Luke or engage with him or Aaron at this poi
The next dayMaria's POVI am a terrible mother.I am a terrible person.My actions are unforgivable.That's what I've been telling myself for the last three days non-stop. And I don't plan on stopping for as long as I live.Some may think it was just an accident. But no, I severely injured 'his son' and the heir to the biggest Mafia empire to ever exist. That's a mistake that cannot be forgiven.I'm starting to believe Luke has told everyone what has happened, since everyone is being so cruel to me now.
We walk down a long hallway that's been newly constructed for teens and younger. It was added as soon as Aaron was born. But I never thought I'd have to use it for him."Right here," Jasmine finally says and leads me into a room right of the hallway. When I enter, an older doctor is standing there checking Aaron's heartbeat and probably breath sounds by the looks of it. "This is Dr. Wells. He is one of the best paediatricians around," Jasmine introduces.I walk up to the small hospital crib they've put him in and grip onto the railings, looking down at him. "How's he doing?" I ask anxiously.The doctor sighs and looks up at me. "He had a pretty hard fall and suffered a few injuries which will keep him here for awhile. Thankfully, there is no visible brain damage as far as I can see. It
