Octavia stood in the darkness as she knocked on the door.  She was catching a little cold and rubbed her palms together, trying to reduce the effect. But damn! It wasn't working. She was seriously freezing. She knocked on the door again and thankfully, Leo opened up this time around. What the hell took him so long, huh? "Hey" his eyes beamed brightly as he held the door. "H-hi" Octavia's voice cracked a little. "Oh! Please, do come in. Come in".  He led her into the room and she took in a deep breath, feeling a little relived from the cold.  The dining in the middle of the room was already set. And although, the room was a little dark with just a dim light beaming through, she could still see clearly.  Leo locked the door and went ahead to meet her.  "Please, take a seat"

Khalid was walking in the dark with his boys when he spotted a lady running.  For a moment, he stopped and watched her, trying to figure out what was wrong with her. He saw when she stopped running and sat on the floor, cuddling herself up and within the twinkle of an eye, he discovered it was Octavia.  His brows arched a little. She looked pained, embittered, and he took slow strides towards her.*Octavia's eyes were still closed with her head leaned against the wall when she heard some footsteps - not just one, but many.  She snapped her eyes open immediately and could swear her heart stopped beating when she saw who it was.  Wait... Khalid??? Every pain in her body got flushed out as her eyes dilated in shock and she sprang on her feet. Although, the speed she'd used in getting up was out of the world

Octavia sat anxiously in the room, her hands sweating beside her.  She tried so hard to control the anxiety; tried so hard to stop herself from shaking, but she couldn't.  Tears rested on her lids at the thought of being pregnant but wanting to flush the child. The whole thing was still like a dream to her.  She sniffed and lifted her hand to her tummy, holding it tight. Well, perhaps, Mica was right.  First, she couldn't bring herself to face Khalid and tell him she was pregnant. Secondly, she didn't think she was ready to become a mother. Hell! No way. She had no experience and wasn't in the right environment.Thirdly, Becca...How was she so sure Khalid would even want a child from her after she had killed his first child? And even if he did, what about Becca? Something in her guts told her the witch was never going to be at peace if she ever

Standing in front of Khalid's room, the guard knocked and after sometime, Khalid's voice replied: "Let her in and leave". The guard opened the door and ushered the nervous Octavia in, while he shut the door afterwards and left. Octavia's hands were almost shaking beside her as she walked into the room and met Khalid in front of the window. Smoke was emitting from his corner due to the pipe he smoked and at a point, they almost made Octavia choke.  She squeezed her eyes tight due to the smoke but when she felt Khalid turn to look at her, she quickly pushed them open.  "G...Good evening, Master" she greeted mildly, her heatt playing rhythmetical beats. She couldn't recall the last time she had been in this room, and having to be in it at this moment was really making her nervous. "Octavia" he called gruffly as

Khalid stopped abruptly, his eyes in-between her legs.  Octavia was already drawing her breath, finding it so relieving he'd stopped. Oh, goodness! Did she just say soemthing? Did she just spill the truth? Oh! Octavia! No. Octavia! "Octavia..." He called gruffly, his eyes still resting in between her legs, his brows furrowed in confusion. "Why're you bleeding?" Octavia was a little shaken at the question.  Bleeding?? She was bleeding?? God! No. She gasped and withdrew from him since his hold around her had already lessened as well. Then, she looked down to her legs and saw the little stain. God! No. No. "Octavia?" Khalid called, his single word containing so many questions. Octavia could feel it. &nb
