“I swear it just slipped. I thought you already told him.” Kris rushed, her eyes apologetic. It scared me, especially with Grayson brooding behind her, his face unimpressed and borderline furious.

“What do you mean it slipp-” The words died in my throat as realization hit me. No! I chanted in my head, repeatedly and desperately.

“Care to explain why they think you mentioned a pregnancy to me?” Grayson fumed, never leaving the spot behind Kris, but even with the distance I could feel the heat of his gaze like he was right in front of me scorching my skin with it.

“I… em… I,” What exactly was my excuse? How was I going to get him to believe anything but the truth? The answer was simple, I couldn’t, but was I really about to tell everyone that I’m pregnant?

“Well?” Grayson pushed, one foot tapped against the tiled floor, the only sign he was losing his patience and fast.

“It’s true.” Jay, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke up, his eyes narrowed at Grayson in what

    ADELINEBeep. Beep. Beep.Heaven was…warm. Or was I thrown into the endless depths? No angels too, no hymns being sung in the background, there was just a still and a quiet that was both relaxing and unnerving.A lick of cold air swept through the warmth, waking goosebumps all over my skin. Wait, I could still feel in the afterlife? Who would have thought?A giggle worked its way up from my belly, inexplicable excitement taking over because I was actually here. Shouldn’t I have gone through the waking up to my body bit of it though? No?An image of myself passed out, hunched over trying to clench tighter, get a better grip of my stomach, hoping that maybe that would have ease what I could only describe as the most excruciating pain to ever exist. My stomach had tried to turn intensely over from the inside out. It was like bare flesh rubbing against granite and it was unrelenting and so gripping that the moisture that had formed a pool around me was the least of my worries.My last tho

    GRAYSONIt was nothing new, but seeing not just a few drops of blood, but an actual trail of crimson was terrifying, especially with Adeline being the only one on this side of the house. Did she miscarry? Heavens no! There would be no facing her after that, my rashness in making sure Scarlett had support had been one thing, but costing Adeline a child in the process would be utterly unforgivable .I couldn’t remember the last time I actually prayed, but in that moment I prayed to every deity and every god that was willing to listen to a humble human’s plea.I follow the trail backwards to the kitchen where it all began. The disapproving grunt was impossible to hold back. Broken glass was everywhere, almost covering the entire floor with miniature death toys in the form of glass shard. It was safe for me, I had shoes on, but did she?I racked my brain and grunted in frustration when nothing came to my mind. Had I really been so absentminded that I couldn’t even check to see the state s

    GRAYSON“Gray can you hold my hand, it’s really starting to hurt.” Scarlett whispered, but her arm was the least of my worries, the seat being stained with her blood, even more so.Adeline couldn’t even look at me without that…there was not the one word for it, but two things were certain. Hate and disgust.I messed up. Once again, I screwed her over and broke my promise. She would understand when I explain to her though, it was for our future, she had to understand.Her face flashed in my eyes like a nightmare my brain didn’t want me to forget. What if she wasn’t around long enough for me to explain? What if she gets fed up and leaves, with ever bit of joy I clung to like it was the only thing I needed to survive, with our baby. Just fuck my life.“We’re almost at the hospital, Dr Steve is already waiting on standby, you’d be fine.” I played with her hair, it had always been one of my favourite things to do, not just because I cared, but because her hair was insanely soft and gentle

    ADELINE“Oh my God, Adeline, are you insane?!” Scarlett wailed, the wounded sound like a banshee crying for her husband. Crimson red blood gushed from an ugly gash in her forearm.All she needed was a second, just that second was enough for her to grab the nearest piece of glass and before I could say anything or stop her, she sank in into her arm and like a freaking psychopath ran it down in a jagged mess without a sound. The sight of blood was unnerving but seeing how Grayson’s glare immediately softened was worse. I hated her. More than I have ever hated anyone.“Adeline, what the hell?” Grayson snapped. It took me too long to realize he wasn’t glaring at Scarlett for trying to kill me. No, my dear husband had her pulled tightly to his side while he cradled her like a porcelain doll, right in my face!The bitch even had the guts to smirk at me. One that said without words, “told you so.”I would admit that Scarlett’s arm was a mess, a long jagged cut extended from just below her in

    ADELINE“Or I have no other choice but to put that face to some actual use.” I snapped. Calming myself was a chore, but I managed it eventually. “I mean, some of that shine would make the counter sparkle again, don’t you think?” I tapped my index finger against my jaw like I was deep in thought as I checked all corners of her face. Clicking my fingers in a quick snap, I gasped, “Oh that’s true, you don’t even do that, do you?”The bitch glared back at me, I could see the fumes practically coming out her ears, still I couldn’t even take her seriously, not with how her entire fingers were coated in chocolate that once belonged to a kid. Talk about stealing candy from a baby.“Try it and I would have Grayson kick you out of our home!” She fired, her voice more of a whine than whatever she was actually going for, it was torture to my ears. I would have just let it go if it meant not having to hear her speak again for the rest of my life.I scoffed at her empty threats. Maybe she knew, may

    ADELINEThe house was finally at peace again, a rarity since Scarlett stepped foot into it. It’s been less than a week, yet she had hired two brainless lankies who followed her around. I could almost hear her shrill despite her absence. Pretty sure she’d gone shopping yet again, her favourite past time and my new favourite time because I could finally breathe and not have my hearing threatened.Since her little outburst, she hadn’t dared to enter my room, but her voice was loud enough, and I could almost swear she intentionally stomped her feet whenever she was crossing the hallway just to irk me.The maid Grayson hired, Tracy, was on grocery run so I could get a break from the fussing she always did around me.I planned to enjoy my moment before she got back, I was going to even if it was just a few minutes. Shopping was her favourite thing and she made sure to do it atleast twice daily. I wasn’t sure what her plan was, but it was starting to look awfully like her plan was to max out
