● CHAPTER 3 ●

When I opened my eyes a sharp pain hit my back. It was hurting like hell. I don't know why I couldn't even scream. I'm feeling weeker. I rubbed my heavy belly softly and looked at the time. God, its 5 in the evening? my sleeping schedule is getting worse.

I took a deep breath and supported myself and managed to walk to the mirror. I looked at my face. I look exhausted, tired. my face is pale as paper. My under eyes are purple. I can barely open them.

Julian will come in a few minutes. So I decided to take a walk. Maybe I would feel much better than the way I am now.

And just like that I started to walk and I found Julian's office room open. Is he already home? I took a few steps closer till I hear some voices speaking. I didn't walk in I stopped there and happened to listen the conversation.

unknown

I didn't expect her condition to deteriorate at this juncture.

Said a little familiar looking voice.

Julian Gomez

How many times more will have to work?

Said a much familiar voice but that tone is not something I am familiar of.

Julian? is that him? Oh yes it's him.

he took heavy puffs of his cigarette

Caleb Hughes

About three times sir. but it's no longer useful to draw blood from madame Willow and relay on the baby's stems. only a bone marrow transplant will help.

Doctor Hughes?

My body shivered after listening to what he said. Draw my blood? baby's stems? bone marrow transplant?

What is this?

Doctor Hughes voices was shaky. Its very clear he couldn't take it.

Caleb Hughes

Sir. Please stop. You are playing with a life. No, two lives. one is your blood and flesh sir.

He pleaded.

I took a peak and looked at my husband's Julian's face. His face was cold. Those eyes weren't the eyes he shows to me. they are scary.

Julian Gomez

Is there any other way?

Please Don't break my trust Julian.

Caleb Hughes

Like I said we can do a bone marrow transplant. But sir, if we carry on the operation, you definitely not will be able to keep the baby.

Caleb Hughes

Madame is almost going to give birth. Even if you managed to keep the baby,it will be deformed or mentally retarded because of the heavy drugs and Madame Willow's life will be in danger.

Said doctor

And the study fell in cold icy silence

After tge next thing I heard, my heart shattered into millions of pieces and I tried to control my sobs.

Julian Gomez

Get rid of the child.

Said Julian, My husband who whispers sweet nothings to my ear and reads books to my baby. Just now told to Get rid of the baby, his own flesh and blood as he crumbled his cigarette on the ashtray

Julian Gomez

Arrange for the operation as soon as possible.

Caleb Hughes

Sir..

Julian Gomez

Do as I say.

I managed to walk back to my room controlling my sobs. I could no longer hear anything about this.

I rushed to the bathroom and stripped off my clothes just to see how horrifying my body looks.

I looked at my back through the mirror. my smooth back, was covered with needle holes

There was bruises around those needle piercings which is caused by the lack of pressure after pulling the needle.

I covered my mouth in horror as I sobbed tremulously

Is this why I was so sick from the day I married him? is this why he didn't let me bathe by myself and helped me in it?

so the tenderness which moved me was all fake. Fake.

No wonder I've always felt tired and painful and always slept heavily? was he drugging me?

Turns out someone came to draw my blood after I slept.

So he married me not because of love at all..

Turns out the reason is to take my blood, then my life..

I came out of the bathroom holding the support of the wall and holding my nine month old belly.

I would never let anyone hurt my child. No. I will save my baby

Soon, Julian came into the room. His face was indifferent. But not as cold as it was in the study

He started to serve me a bowl of soup with his own hands

Julian Gomez

Drink it. or you'll be tired.

He said

My hands stopped the spoon which was about to enter my mouth?

Julian Gomez

Why? what's wrong? Do you need me to call Caleb?

Willow Armstrong

for what? to draw my blood?

I said as I stared at him with my cold stare.

The surroundings became quite and icy soon.

I bit my lip, Held back my tears which were asking permission to flow down and looked at Julian my husband.

I waited for and answered but soon I was dragged to him by the arm in a rough way which made me scream in pain. his disguised gentleness disappeared

Julian Gomez

You knew?

He said gritting his teeth

Julian Gomez

Then you should be clear about your situation. You can only cooperate with our actions.

yes, I don't have a choice in front of him. I am just a famous singer. who noe the world must have forgotten about, I am from a normal family. And. now, I'm an orphan too. While my husband is a Great bio scientist and a business man who has a strong and wealthy family background.

I could no longer control my tears. they flowed down my cheeks followed by my heavy sobs.

I cried and cried with all the energy I have? what else can I do in this situation? shoot him? slap him? yell at him? I can even raise my arm. I can only do this cry. I am not crying because of him. I'm crying because of me. about how miserable I am.

Julian Gomez

Now that you know about it, think about what compensation you want and I'll satisfy you as much as I can

He said shoved me off and left our bedroom

I closed my eyes, Was this marriage a conspiracy from the beginning?

Willow Armstrong

Tell me who she is?

I Asked with my trembling voice

Then Julian stopped his tracks

But he didn't answer, instead he said,

Julian Gomez

The surgery is scheduled for three days from now on. Figure out what you want

And just like that he left the room
