My hands were shaky, very very shaky. I stared at the pills in my hands. The prescription was very clear, insert deeply into the vagina. I can do this, get this off and leave this family before I'm killed. Luther... this is his baby too, and he wants it, this is wrong without his permission. But then this is my womb, it's my final decision. The threats are too much, the fear of my life being in constant danger. I'll just travel far away and start all over. Luther is going to hate me, I know he will, he'll never ever forgive me but this is for the better. I need to get out of here. I stared at the pill. I've always wanted to be a mother, a very happy one at that. When I found out I was pregnant, I was so happy, genuinely happy honestly, but I was without a job by then and so I panicked, if j was still working by then, I wouldn't even be in the situation, and instead of me to start up by job hunt, I started looking for the father, this was where I fucked up. I wish I never g
Ben slammed Adele's head against my office table. "I'm sorry Don, I'm so sorry", she cried. I dropped the cigarette I was holding and got up. "My fiancee told me that you threatened to kill her the last time you saw her", I said calmly. "No no no... I..I.. I didn't threaten to kill her, I just.. I just.." "So she's lying? you're saying that my fiancee is lying?" "No no she's not, I didn't threaten to kill her I Just -" "Threatened her?" She didn't say anything again, she started crying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't mean to, I was just -" "What did you tell her?", I asked. She didn't answer, she was still begging. I groaned, Ben picked her up again and slammed her head against the desk, this time harder. She screamed. "I.. I.. I told her that she can't survive the Cowper family and that they're going to kill her and she's going to die before the delivery date", she cried. "Who is going to kill her? you?". "No.. no I will never hurt what belongs to you, I swear", she cr
Luther hasn't spoken to me for a week now, I don't know if he's been avoiding me. And he's been unusually pissed, like I could literally hear his voice thunder from my room. I haven't seen him this way since I met him and I think it's somehow my fault, I talked about his ex. I was walking around the garden when I met Ben. "Uhm hey can I ask you something?" He turned to me giving me a mean look, Ben doesn't really like me, but he doesn't have a choice because he's suppose to protect me. But he doesn't hate me, like Laura and the others, I guess I don't just sit too well with him. "What is it?" "Is Luther mad at me?" He scoffed, "Why would he?". "Uhm, it's like he's been avoiding me, and lately he's been pissed, out of the usual". "Oh this is just how he is normally, Luther is always off the edge, sometimes he calms down and sometimes it's like this, and he's not been avoiding you, he's been busy with work". I nodded slowly, "Okay, so it has nothing to do with me talking abo
Ivy**I was the only one on earth that called Luther by that name, everyone and I mean everyone calls him danger, or Don. It was that crazy honestly, Ben almost broke a guys nose that called him that today, I'm not joking.I don't know why but somehow I'm beginning to feel special, either that or he can't kill me because I'm carrying his child.I think I've gotten used to the stares honestly, people looking at me, gossiping, whispering, it's really gotten old, just like what Ben said.The birthday dinner was something, I could see power and money in display, there's something about the rich I noticed, simplicity and elegance, they didn't even put much energy but they reeked of wealth.I was Luther's hand bag through it all, he carried me everywhere introducing me like a trophy to everyone and acting very nice and manly, not gonna lie , it was kinda hot and sexy at a point.We met one of his business association of an accounting firm."I want to introduce you to someone, he can hook

His lips, they tasted just like last time, it was everything I hoped for, only that this time it was short lived.It took a couple of seconds for the it whole fog to clear off from my eyes and he was still staring at me."You're so beautiful", he mumbled. For a second there I actually thought he meant it honestly but then I remembered that we're on a fake fiancee mission right now and this was all an act."You two should just get a room", Owen joked breaking me off that magical ride I was on seconds ago.The table was filled with giggles and laughter, both fake and real, all except from Laura, she was filled with rage."I want to see you start an actual family together before I die", his father said."Dad, you have nothing to worry about, this family is standing tall and strong", he said holding my hands.He shrugged, "Very well then, I'll ease you two off from the marriage talk for a while until you're ready", he said.I sighed relieved.Ben appeared behind Luther and whispered somet
LUTHER...**I crawled up my stairs, tired. What a crazy ass night. I just want to go to bed and sleep. I got into my room and threw my bloody clothes off my body. I checked through my phone and saw a text from Ben concerning something with Ivy. I texted my dad and wished him a happy birthday again but he was probably asleep.it was 3am.I suddenly didn't feel like sleeping anymore and decided to hit the roof top.I took my headphones with me and got a creete of beer and got there, it was quiet and cold, just like I liked it.I headed straight to the Jacuzzi and sank my body deep into it.The only thing that kept on ringing in my head were screams. That's what happens whenever I go under water.I hear the screams and cries of people I've hurt, intentionally or unintentionally, both the innocent and the guilty.Sometimes I try to run away from them, but of recent I've been embracing my demons.I got out of it when I felt like it was drowning me.It's the perfect time to face my demo
IVY * * I haven't left my room all day because of last night, I don't know if what happened was based on a drunk impulse or under his control but it was something. It felt real, too real like every word he said he actually meant it. I mean I thought the whole pretense was supposed to be when we're in public, but what he said really got me. After my antenatal check up and when Dr. Lizzy left I had to leave the room. I tiptoed downstairs and met the living room filled with Men. Maybe I should have just stayed in my room. "Hi Ivy", Owen had to make it loud and clear that I was there. Everyone's eyes went to me. Holy shit, my feet are cold. "That's Dangers fiancee right?", One of them asked. "Laura said Baby mama", another said. "Yes, His fiancee", Owen said heading to the stairs and held my hands and got me down. "Small friends gathering, you'll get used to it", he said. I nodded, I hope not. I felt Luther's arms around my waist from behind. "Well Hello you", he said.
