Episode 3

I lie back on the soft pillow of the bed where I was lying and let a tear run down my cheek.

It hurts so much, it hurts to be in a place you don't know, it hurts to be surrounded by people who are only using you for their convenience, and it hurts so much to know that you will become a mother to a complete stranger.

"Are you alright, Miss Parker?" questions the doctor who was still by my side.

"She's better than ever," Elias replies for me. "She's excited to be a mother."

I look at Elias with fury on my face, I just can't understand how he can say something like that, I will NEVER be excited to become a mother, much less if I'm forced to.

"I don't know, Parker doesn't look good," the doctor assures.

"Look, doctor, I paid you a large sum of money to come and perform a treatment so that my girlfriend would get pregnant, not to question anything strange you see."

After hearing Elias call me "girlfriend", I understood everything perfectly.

Apparently the doctor doesn't know anything about what happened before his arrival, he doesn't know that I'm kidnapped, he was only called to do his job.

It's my moment, it's time to shout for help and be able to get out of this horrible place.

I straighten up a bit from the bed until I am sitting up completely, I grab the white coat of that doctor desperately and beg him for help regardless of the fact that my kidnapper is still present.

"Please help me," I pause to find the right words, "I'm kidnapped and they're forcing me to..."

Several drops of blood fall on my face before I could finish speaking, I involuntarily close my eyes tightly to avoid seeing the horrible scene that was caused by my fault.

I open my eyes again and with terror I look down at the floor and I manage to see the doctor with a large bullet impact in his head.

Fuck, he just killed the doctor in front of me!

I remain in shock for a few minutes until Elias approaches me, he pushes me with both hands making me fall on the bed and climbs on top of me.

"You're an idiot!" he shouts, slapping me. "How could you do something like that!"

His hands clench tightly and he punches one of my eyes, making me let out a loud scream of pain, but despite my screams and pleas he continues to hit me until Abel and Adam enter the room and pull him off me.

"Sir, you're going to kill her if you keep hitting her!" Adam shouts.

"Stay out of it, this is none of your business, it's with this trash!" he points at me while I wipe the blood from my mouth.

"Of course I'm getting involved, you hired us to take care of Miss Parker, and that's what we'll do, we'll take care of her even from you," I declare defensively.

My aggressor looks at me one last time, cleans his hands a little and leaves the room slamming the door loudly behind him.

"You're safe now, nothing will happen to you with us," they affirmed. "Wait here."

They both enter the bathroom of the room and after a few short minutes they come out with a small first aid kit.

"We'll help you heal those wounds," Abel expressed, sitting next to me with a cotton ball covered in alcohol.

"I can do it myself," I take the cotton ball and place it on my lower lip.

I knew that asking for help would bring negative consequences, but I never thought it would end with my face full of blows and with a lifeless body on the carpet of the place.

"Why are you doing this to me?" I ask, looking at them.

"Mr. Walton forces us," Adam says.

"Why does he want a child so desperately?"

"We can't tell you," he explains, avoiding my gaze.

"When I was in that warehouse, they said that this was for a common good, what common good were they talking about?"

"That will have to be explained to you by the man, not me," he gets up leaving me alone in the bed. "And if you excuse me, we have to go."

Immediately I leave the cotton ball soaked with my blood on the bed and I get up quickly to stand in front of them preventing them from leaving.

"Don't leave me alone," I begged. "I don't want him to come back and hit me."

"Don't worry, we'll stay close to the area," he assures.

My "bodyguards" leave the room and a few seconds later I hear them lock the door.

The panic of being locked up is low, the truth is that it relaxes me to know that for a good time Elias will not come in to hurt me.

I approach the window and open the blinds slowly so that the little light of the day enters.

The view I have from the room is beautiful, I can see a beautiful garden surrounded by red and white roses, and there is also a gigantic pool in the middle of the whole place.

The door of the place opens again and with fear running through my body I look behind me.

I imagined that Elias was the one who would cross that door, but in reality who was there was a girl of some 20 years who wears a black and white uniform and in her hands she brings a tray with food.

"Miss, here is your food," she puts the silver tray on the bed.

"If Elias sent that food take it away," I declared returning to see that beautiful garden from the window.

"It is important that you eat something, you can't be without eating anything the time you are here."

"I just want to die one way or another," I confessed sadly. "And I hope it's soon."

"Mr. Walton wouldn't like to hear that."

"I don't care, I think it's valid to want to die after what he did to me."

I turn around slowly showing my face bruised and swollen from the blows.

"Were you the one who was begging for help?" she asks, surprised.

I nod my head while letting the tears run uncontrollably down my cheeks.

"You must understand that Mr. Walton is not having a good time, he is very pressured to have an heir."

I approach that sweet young woman and take her by the shoulders.

"Could you explain to me why he wants a child so much?"

"Pablo Walton, his father, forces him and pressures him to have children," she confesses, clarifying my doubts. "His father can only leave him the family business if he has a child, otherwise the business will pass into the hands of Ana, his younger sister."

"But why kidnap a girl instead of looking for a woman to become his girlfriend and then his wife?"

"I don't know," she shrugs her shoulders at the same time that she closes the door of the room discreetly. "In the last three months he has kidnapped more than ten girls, but none of them managed to give him a child, the women who failed to get pregnant he murdered and then disappeared their bodies, and those who did become pregnant he treated like queens, but for some strange reason those girls always lost the baby."

"How do you know that?" I ask, astonished.

"This mansion has so many secrets, all the employees here know them, but we are forbidden to talk about it."

I have no doubt, he is a complete madman, just imagining how he murdered those girls who could not get pregnant makes my stomach churn, now I realize that Elias Walton is someone who only uses women for his convenience and when they are no longer "useful" he gets rid of them in such a bizarre way.

Those words he told me in the warehouse are a lie.

"I won't do anything to you" he said, but guess who ended up beaten and soon, in some not too distant future, dead.
