"Sir that's too fast , I mean they've only known each other for two months, you can't just let the future Mrs Cowper to be a random woman, you don't even know her that well ", Laura said panicking.

"Well she's already carrying his baby so why not, and if things don't go so well they can always get a divorce, but that'll be after she has the baby ".

"But We've been together for 3 years and you never mentioned anything about us getting married".

"That's because you weren't carrying his baby ", his father said in an end of conversation tone.

Laura swallowed hard to hold her anger.

"Dad I don't think I'm ready to get married so soon", Luther said.

"Well you should have thought of that before getting her pregnant ", his father replied.

"However you want to do it, but it must be before the delivery date", his father finished.

I swallowed hard, this was not just happening. This is so unreal, no way.

"Excuse me uhm, where's the bathroom?", I asked.

"Second door to the left ", he pointed.

"Excuse me ", I said and got up.

I was freaking out.

The last thing I thought you hearing today was marriage.

I found the bathroom and went in there.

I started gathering my breath and pacing up and down.

I just wanted a small money to take care of the child, didn't even want child support shit, just a little money, it went from there to me moving in with him and having my movement monitored and now marriage??

Do I even have a say in any of this???

What am I going to do.

I stared at myself on the miror, this is not the life I want for myself.

I don't even know this man, at all.

And to be honest he scares the shit out of me, j don't even trust him at all, and I feel like the only reason he's keeping me around is because of the baby, what if he kills me immediately after giving birth so he won't have any liability around him.

Or there's a complication with the birth and he chooses to save the baby and not me obviously because he doesn't gives a shit about me.

I can't marry someone I don't know or trust, and they speak of divorce as if it's something so normal.

I want to marry someone I love and care about and not someone I've fucked once and had his baby.

I splashed water on my face taking off the makeup I had on, there was no much different.

Then I opened the door to leave but I heard voices from the hallway.

"Laura, you have 7 Months to eliminate that woman, we have worked too hard to get to this point only for some whore to steal it without even working for it".

"Mom how?? Danger is seriously overprotective of her, he'll kill me if I lay a finger on her"

"Eliminate the baby, he doesn't care about the woman he's only protecting her because he's carrying his child. If the child goes she does.

And you have to get pregnant for him, however you want to do it, just do it, don't fuck this up".

I swallowed hard, my life is in danger, serious danger.

I should have just aborted the entire pregnancy and just rest.

Or maybe I should, it's just 8 weeks, I can save myself from all of this, get abortion drugs and use them then pretend it's a miscarriage, everything will end there, I'll get a little compensation money and use it to start up my little business and I'll be out of all this Cowper drama, if I stay here my life is in danger.

I opened the door and met them at the hallway, they both stared at me in disgust.

I pretended like I didn't hear what they had just said and tried to walk away. The woman stopped me.

"Are you so desperate?", she asked me.

"What?", I mumbled.

"You're a desperate whore, you just want to be in this family picture so bad you even got pregnant for him, but listen to me, you won't be able to survive here, this isn't some regular rich family that you'd want to swindle your way in. Danger isn't some regular man that you'd want to have, leave before it gets too late, because one way or the other, you will die", she said.

Then turned around and left.

Laura looked at me, "And if you don't leave, I'll kill you myself, to hell with what he'll say", she said too and walked away.

I started shaking, visibly shaking.

My breathing began to wade.

Ben walked in.

"Danger said we're ready to leave now ", he said.

I nodded and followed him to the front of the house till we got to where the limo was, Luther was already waiting in the car.

I got in and starting biting my lower lips to keep me from breaking down.

It was so hard trying to pull myself together when I was tearing apart.

My life is in danger.

Even if Luther gets to do anything after they're going to kill me.

I should have never gone to the club that day

I should have never talked to him in the first place

Should have never gotten drunk

Should have had self control and resisted the urge to sleep with him

Should have just kept this thing a secret, found another way out and raised this baby alone

It I should have just killed the pregnancy, should have gotten rid of it when I had the chance to

Soon as we pulled up in front of the house I was the first person to get out of the car to the house.

I went to the kitchen and shut the door, I fell to the group and started breaking apart. I was doing my best to gulp down the tears but they refused to go back.

I held my hair and was crying.

I tried to muffle the sound but it was so hard.

She said it alright, I'm dead meat,my life is over I'm going to die one way or the other.

The door flew open, fuck I forgot to lock it.

"Ivy?", I could hear genuine worry in his voice.

Oh no, it's Luther, fuck what was I thinking crying in the kitchen.
