Chapter 2

Jenny's POV

Lost in my thoughts, Marcus pulled me into his arms, embracing me so lovingly. I couldn't help but melt into his arms, absorbing his scent and warmth. It feels good to be in his arms. I can never get enough of it. Then, I felt his hands. I tried to pull away from Marcus's arms, but he held on to me tight.

“ Don't move. Stay.”

I froze in his arms. I could never resist his husky and seductive voice. It got me every time.

“ W-We shouldn't be doing this. It's already late and you have an early morning. Why don't we go to bed instead?”

He loosened his grip on me and turned me around to face him.

“ What? Don't you want to? I want you, right now,” he said, pulling me closer to him, his hot breath fanning my face.

I could see lust and desire swirl in his eyes. Even after 3 years of marriage, he still manages to make my heart beat like a drum.

He pulled me even closer, our bodies pressing together. I could feel his rock hard dick pushing against my stomach. I took in a sharp breath.

His face leaned closer to mine and I closed my eyes in anticipation. He whispered into my ear, “I need you.”

That was all it took for him to carry me into our bedroom and have his way with me. As always, he was rough but gentle, making sure not to hurt me or make me feel uncomfortable. He didn't only seek out his pleasure but made sure that he pleasured me as well until I was satisfied without any complaints. I was lying in bed, tangled up in the sheet, still recovering from the passionate lovemaking. He bent and folded me in every way he could think of. It's been a while since he went all out.

I still sense that something was still on his mind. I felt it in the way he fucked me, but I'm not going to complain. He was in the bathroom taking a shower. Despite not being able to get up, I was contemplating joining him in the bathroom. I got up from the bed despite my body protesting and made my way to the bathroom. Before I could go inside, I heard him talking over the phone with someone. His phone was on speaker, so I heard who he was talking to. It was grandmother.

“ You are a married man, Marcus. It's been 3 years since you and Jenny tied the knot. Stop being stubborn about this. Don't forget you are an only child and the sole heir.”

“ Stop it, grandmother. Why do you insist on trying to control every aspect of my life? I married Jenny like you wanted. Isn't that enough.”

My eyes widened. Well, it was no secret that Marcus married me at grandmother's behest. Still, hearing him say that out loud feels like a stab in the heart. It sounds like he doesn't have any feelings for me. Maybe I shouldn't be eavesdropping on their conversation. I might hear something I'm not supposed to and get upset. It's not good to get upset in my condition.

“ How could you say that, Marcus? I know, I forced this marriage upon you but what is so wrong with it? Jenny is a good woman. I raised her myself and she is without flaw. Ever since you got married she has done nothing but love and support you as your wife. Why can't you love her back? Is she that bad?”

I couldn't leave. I wanted to hear what Marcus had to say.

Marcus let out a long frustrated sigh. I held my breath waiting for his response to his grandmother's question.

“ Grandmother, you know the truth. You have already saddled me with a wife, and now you want to add a child? Can't that be in my control for once? I don't want a child right now. Can you please let this be?"

I felt my heart clench painfully in my chest. Marcus doesn't want a child? I couldn't listen to them anymore. I quickly got dressed and left the room before Marcus got out of the bathroom. I don't know how to feel, but my hopes have all been shattered. Marcus doesn't love me nor does he want to have a child with me. What am I going to do? I felt suffocated in the house, so I grabbed my jacket and went out to the garden to get some fresh air. I needed to clear my head and think about my situation. One thing was for sure. I wasn't going to let go of my child.

After spending some time outside dealing with my thoughts and feelings, I went back inside the house. Felix came down the stairs dressed up again. I kept quiet and tried to avoid his gaze. I was afraid that I would fall apart if I looked him in the eye.

“ Jenny, I am heading out,” he says.

“ What? Are you not going to be staying with me tonight?"

“ I can't, unfortunately. There is a gala dinner I must attend. It must have slipped my mind. Thankfully my secretary reminded me.”

I couldn't argue, so I nodded my head and gave in. It is for the best. I don't think I can hold myself together in his presence. I need to be alone.

“ Okay. Please come back soon.”

I kissed him on the cheek and made my way back to my room. I closed the door behind me and finally stopped holding it in. I slid down the door and crouched, letting my tears fall freely. I couldn't stop crying just thinking about everything. I am scared. I want to keep my baby, no matter what, but that could lead me to lose Marcus. I love him too much to let him go. I don't know what to do or who to talk to. I'm all alone. I could only seek solace in the baby in my womb. I gently rubbed my belly.

"What am I going to do, baby?"
