Chapter One: Stillborn Babies

I watched him walk closer and closer to me with every step filled with eagerness and desire and in the next minute I found myself being placed gently on the large comfy bed - our matrimonial bed..

My hands drugged into his skin as he moved his way into my cave - this I had craved for a long long time after his business trip..

He placed a kiss on my neck to increase the tension and desire as that was my very weak point and in the next minute we both released out as though it was a planned work - but I never suspected anything until now…

…

After our love making or rather baby making, George excused himself to meet with his best friend out in the living room and I stayed back to put back on my clothes..

Then I decided to get the gentleman some drinks and as I walked towards the living room with the tray of drinks in hand I overheard a statement from Brian, George's best pal.

“Don't tell me that is true..how can you be this heartless?” That statement alone made me so eager to hear more and I just couldn't help but wonder curiously what exactly George did that was so heartless..

I decided to listen further and I heard George's reply..

“Rory has always been a tool for all I needed, and besides if we had those kids they would be illegitimate because the marriage certificate between I and Rory, is a fake!!”

His reply got me startled and I wondered if it was indeed the man I married. My ever charming husband now seemed to be more of an asshole and a jerk…

Our lovely seven years of marriage now looked like a big waist of time and resources, as I had resigned from my job just to be with him and I also didn't hesitant when he asked me to get involved with him in a hidden marriage and I had seen it to be a great way to finally get closer to him.

In the seven years of my hidden marriage, I had conceived five children with each one of them stillborn.

"You killed Rory Mason's five children just to provide specimens for Brittney Maron’s medical experiments? Are you seriously okay? Those were your own flesh and blood!" Brian continued..

"Brittney is loves everything about her research. I don’t know much about medicine, so the best I can do is be her strongest supporter and give her whatever she needs. I really don't want to disappoint her!” George's voice remained indifferent, as if the topic had nothing to do with him.

“But you know very much that Rory loves you and you will indeed regret this!” Brian said. He's tone was indeed filled with anger and impatience as though he could tear George off that minute.

“As long as I can marry Brittney in grand style then I won't be regretting any of it, because I never planned to have kids with Rory but she wanted them so I let her have them for fun..and I wasn't actually going to let them live..!” George replied with chilling ignorance in his tone.

“You must be under a spell!” Brain spat..

“I and Brittney will be having in three days so I'll like for you to be there and celebrate with us in total happiness and delight. Don't do anything silly, Brian so you don't get on my nerves.” Goerge said with a cold smirk.

The tears in my eyes flowed down freely even though I tried had to stop them and before I could turn away George turned and looked at me.

His eyes were filled with surprise and concern as he rushed towards me..

“What's wrong, Rory? When did you get here? Why are you crying in this way?” He asked..

“It's nothing, I think something got into my eyes and it really hurts but I'll be fine. It'll get out soon!” I lied!

I didn't want him to have a clue that I was eavesdropping in their conversation and this made me remember why and how I fell in love with George in the first place..

We met at a cafe where I worked and one night I got assaulted by some street robbers and they left with my hand bag containing my daily earnings and I was left with nothing under the moon light..but then..

George swooshed in like a real superhero. He parked his motorcycle a little distance away from where I stood and I was quite surprised when he handed me my bag back..

He handed me his business card and thats when everything started - My nightmare of seven years with five stillborn babies and one still in my womb developing…

But now I knew the truth that the man I loved was nothing more than a cold and bestial executioner. And I was nothing more than a tool who had loved him blindly and foolishly..

When I returned back to our bedroom I couldn't stop thinking about why on earth I got entangled with a Mafian like him in the first place. Of course what did I expect? A happy ending? Uhh…Never!!

He once told me that he would always shelter my needs and be my protector against the storms of life. That he would guard me for the rest of my days, hold me as close to him as ever, I believed him.

I gave him my body, my heart, my soul…

He feared that marrying a woman from a infamous and humble background would affect the reputation of the of the Blackstone Clan.

Every time I found out I was pregnant, George would brighten up like a child, shouting with excitement that he was going to be a father. He would hold me in his arms with total concern…and love..

His joy was indeed infectious…

Afraid that I would be stressed out, he personally hired private doctors that specialized in the wellbeing of pregnant women, to use general anesthesia, ensuring I wouldn’t feel any pain in the child birth.

And every time, he stayed by my side, watching over me as if I were his most precious treasure.

I believed he cared about me. I thought he cared about our babies, but in reality, he was merely making it easier for himself to strangle our child with his own hands—to provide a specimen for his beloved…. Brittney.

And I foolishly believe his words everytime I lost a child. I blamed myself, I had thought my body was too weak, too incapable of carrying a child and I felt my womb was weak.

I grieved over every stillborn, burdened with guilt, apologizin

g to him for my failures. But now I realize that, I was nothing but a joke….
