“I am pregnant?” Susan croaked as she looked from the doctor to Richard.
“Yes, miss. You are very lucky that the puncture did not affect your baby. You are five weeks pregnant,” the doctor said pleasantly.
Five weeks. Susan masked her gasp with a cough.
The nurse passed her the sippy cup, and she slowly sipped the water as her mind raced.
“Fuck!” She knew who she was with five weeks ago. “But we used protection. Must have happened when…” Her face heated as she remembered what he had made her do.
Her pussy clenched at the thought. He could be so damn bad, which she loved but…
“Babe, are you okay?”

Raymond was furious.He couldn't remember ever being this damn furious in his life.Everyone believed him to be levelheaded.All his life he had been the sensible one. Something Richard had taunted him for.Only he realised too late that his brother's jab came from a deep well of hatred.Being coolheaded had served him well over the years.It was how he had investigated his brother's deeds without Richard becoming suspicious.It
The moon was high in the sky by the time the firemen gave the all-clear signal.Still, the scent of smoke and soot hung heavy in the air.Conrad… he… His body was blasted apart, just like the others.The only thing that showed he had ever been there was the five-star bronze badge still attached to what looked like a charred torso.“You should get some rest.”Athena felt a warm coat settle around her shoulders before Raymond stood beside her.“Thank you,” she said tonelessly. The warmth of his scent didn't penetrate the chill balled wi
As they stepped out of the hospital, she looked at the innocently approaching sunset.The world would go on, even if your world never remained the same.She had woken up that morning thinking the only threat she had to deal with was Richard and his cohorts.Now, she had a new enemy. Maybe many.Yet the orangey hue was simply taking over the blue-dotted sky.“If I had died like that woman, the world would simply move on,” Athena thought with a shudder.To Raymond, she said, “Please, go to your people so you can reassur
The general’s roundhouse kick sent Ludric crashing against the farthest wall.Five uniformed soldiers ran towards them before the two men with Ludric could even blink.Athena turned around to see Richard's confused look, as he looked from the soldiers to Athena.“Know when to give up, Richard. There will be enough time for your pain,” she said as she linked her hand with Raymond's.She felt Raymond's surprised gaze on her, but her eyes firmed on Richard as she raised their linked arm upward.It looked showy, but Athena didn't care as she vowed, “You will pay for everything, Richard. For every single pain you cause. Take your brea
Athena agreed to Carmen treating her.Only that she had to do it in the waiting room close to the emergency room.True to what Athena had said, there was no internal bleeding save for the bump that was no longer as painful as it was earlier.Soon enough, Susan was wheeled out of the emergency room.Athena ignored Richard's glower and moved closer.“She looks so innocent,” came the automatic thought as she saw Susan’s bandaged head.Her puffy face was laid sideways as she was lying on her chest.
