Lindsay's POV“Lindsay?“ A voice snapped me back into reality. I turned to look at the person who called and I almost cried. My “darling” husband sat beside me with a smile on his face. We were both in bed because he decided not to go to work that day. His wife was pregnant anyway.“yeah?” I asked, my voice barely recognizable."I was talking about names to give the baby," he said with a smile on his face. It was genuine and I hated it. Maybe I shouldn't have told him I was pregnant. I should have gotten rid of it, but no, my conscience wouldn't let me. Since I couldn't get rid of the baby, the only thing I could think of was to pin it on him. We did have sex weeks ago and it would make sense if I got pregnant. It was most definitely Shaun's baby because he was the only one I was fucking a month ago, not Asher.“What about Jacob?" “That's my father's name" I scowled at him.“It's not a bad thing, is it?" He asked and I scoffed."We are not naming my child after my father”He sighed a
“Is there a problem Lindsay?" Asher called out from the other side of the table. Keeping my anger in check was much better if he didn't talk to me, but now he was speaking to me and I felt rage course through my veins. I felt like tossing the bowl of salad at his face, but I knew if I did that, he was going to beat the baby right out of my womb.“I don't feel too good," I said with my head still bowed, I didn't want to see the fake concern in his eyes.“Try and eat something, we have a big day today," he said and I swallowed hard. It was indeed the day I was leaving Los Angeles. The day I would leave Shaun for good. But was it for good? Will I see him again? All these questions went to and fro in my mind, but I didn't have am answer. Maybe fate then. Fate was the only thing that could bring Shaun and me together. Maybe when I finally succeed in killing Asher, I could go back to Shaun.“Hey, eat up," Asher said once againEven when he tried to sound caring, he still had that hint of au
Lindsay's POV.It was finally time. My parents were gone. It was just me, Asher, and Leia, getting ready to leave the house. The lump in my throat when I packed remained as I rolled my luggage to the door. Asher was upstairs answering a phone call. I brought out my phone, I thought of calling Shaun, but I shook my head. That was going to be too much for me, I was likely going to end up breaking down more than I already was.I decided to text him instead. My hands were shaking and sweaty and it was almost impossible to hold the phone. Tears threatened to fall from my eyes. I couldn't believe this was happening. I was leaving Shaun.After multiple trials, deleting, and starting again, I arrived at the perfect text.“Being with you was the best thing that ever happened to me. I enjoyed every single minute I spent with you. I love everything about you, Shaun. I know I never really told you I love you, but I'm saying it now. I love you, Shaun. But it has to end now, let's stop this. I'm l
Shaun's POV I finished the content of my cup, but I didn't stop there, I filled it up again and took another gulp.“Hey easy" Pablo, my brother said.I glared at him. “Francesco is trying to fucking kill me and you want me to relax""What if it's not him? We haven't heard from him for a long time. You think he will show up just to kill you?” "Well, he did. One of his men said”"What if he was lying”"After smashing his good fingers, I don't think he would have the balls to lie to my face” I rummaged my hand through my head. “I'm going to kill him Pablo, I'm going to fucking kill hin" I said.“He is your brother and stop being paranoid"“So what the fuck am I supposed to do? Wait till he kills me? If I get my hands on him, he is a dead man" I glared at Pablo While I still boiled in anger, my phone chimed from my pocket and I brought it out. It was a text from Lindsay. I hadn't called back since she hung up on me the previous day.I opened the message and read the content. “Being wit
LindsayI woke up to someone standing close to me, watching me closely. My eyes felt heavy and my head was on fire. I was certain I was in the house, not in a hospital.“What happened?" I stared at the woman in front of me "who are you?“ I scowled at her."I'm a doctor, your husband... “I didn't let her finish before speaking again."Where is Asher?” I sat up from the bed. The back of my head hurt as I struggled to sit. I was certain it was bruised.“He stepped out" she replied.“Why wasn't I taken to the hospital, why are you here instead?" I stared at the brunette woman in confusion.“That's what your husband wants"“I sighed as I leaned back on the bed. "I'm fine now, you can leave” she was about to part her lips to counter what I said, but I cut her off."Don't say anything, just leave” I was being mean, but I didn't care about how I acted. I was too angry to care about that. Each time I thought about my life and what was happening, I felt rage."And I don't want any pills” I add
All Asher did was put up an act. He knew he couldn't cage me in the house forever. After much argument for countless nights and continuous slaps I got from him_ that was the highest he did, probably because he didn't want anything to happen to “his baby". We concluded. I could work, but not at a firm.Asher surprisingly bought an already ongoing restaurant for me. He set things up and got employers there. I wasn't doing anything because there was someone for everything. That was the biggest thing Asher had done for me since we got married. I was so surprised when he told me. Even though I could see the contempt in his eyes as he spoke, I was still happy. At least I got to leave the house.But to think of it, Asher wasn't the type to do something as big as that for me. The last big thing I remembered Asher did for me was planning an anniversary that turned out to be a disaster. It wasn't my fault. Maybe if he had remembered the date, that wouldn't have happened.Asher was probably plan
Shaun's POV “We couldn't find her boss" I heard them say. The anger that took hold of me made me toss the glass cup of wine in my hand to the wall, shattering It in the process.“What the fuck do you mean?" I snarled at them in anger. With the look on Bella's face, it was obvious she was surprised by my outburst. I was going insane all because of a woman I thought I would be fine with."There's no lead sir. It's harder to work that way. She is certainly not in L.A”"I fucking know that” I snapped at him in anger."Boss” he tried to speak, but I didn't let him."I don't care how many states are in this damn country, or how many countries are in this world, I want you to find her. Get it?” I pointed my index fingers at him.He bowed his head "yes boss,” he said and they all walked away."And what are you so upset about?" Bella asked after they had gone.I took another glass and filled it halfway with wine. I took a big gulp before turning to look at her.“Lindsay" I replied faintly."T
Lindsay's POV.I cried so hard that night until I found it hard to breathe. Assuming I and Asher went to court, Leia would have chosen Asher and I wouldn't be able to see her again.It was pathetic and sad. I stared at the man who slept next to me and I wondered what I ever did to him. He hated me so much, yet he claimed he didn't. Shaun would never do that to me. I was certain he would have cherished me and treated me better than Asher would, but I just had to be so stupid. It was almost midnight, but I didn't feel sleepy. I slipped down from my bed and walked to the sitting room. It had been tidy. After Asher was satisfied with how much I had begged, he stopped the threats to take Leia from me and all was restored to normal. The staff cleaned the house too.The wine stand still had a few drinks which I could use. I took a bottle of wine and poured it into a cup. In the process of taking the wine, a pack of cigarettes fell from the stand. I shook my head. It belonged to Asher. Why d
