Chapter 40 : Called me an animal
The whole atmosphere was tense. I didn't have anyone to call a friend. I missed the company of Hector, dearly. My mother made it known that she still thought keeping this child was the worst possible decision, I could have ever made.Lady Martha was worried dearly about her husband, from whom she had not had anymore news. It was a trickling feeling of all cut communication, no communication at all.Everyone was anxious as to whether the master will return in a fairly well condition or in a coffin ready to be laid to rest. Many people, really wished him dead. His wife seemed to have mixed emotions.There were times where she sorely disrupted spokes of the matter and spoke of anything else then again; there were times where she re-read the letter over and over again trying to see if she had missed any information. From what I had heard, Lady Martha was not the happiest wife or bride but... it seemed otherwise.Perhaps no matter how bad a person treats you, it is hard to wish them the sa

Chapter 41 : Dear Panashe (Part 3)
It felt good to have my friend back again. I couldn't wait to tell him what had occurred between Lady Tracy and I. He always gave me unfiltered advise. He was more supportive than my mother in the past few months. With my pregnancy becoming bigger, you would assume my mother would give me tips and advise but she ignored me.She asked if I was alright then she would turn to go. She constantly asked if I planned on keeping it, it being the baby. The constant pressure that I was doing the wrong thing. I put all my trust in William. Trust that he would protect me and our child. Trust that he would protect us and provide for us in whichever way he can."That witch has absolutely no shame." Hector said, after I had explained the ideal that had happened between us. I couldn't keep it to myself, I had to tell someone for reassurance that, I was doing the right thing and everything will be alright. Lady Tracy still scared me."I gather, I know who is Liam's father!" He added."You do?""Of cou

Chapter 42 : Called it acceptance
With William's mother gone for a while, I presumed she would be back today. The supervisors at the plantations were not pleased with me not doing any sort of hard duty. It didn't matter that I happened to be pregnant, it didn't matter that I was six months pregnant. It didn't matter at all.After being privileged and favored for so long... I had lost all the privilege with no one being there to speak up for me. Williams mother had felt she needed a break from everything so she went off to visit her daughter. It had been three weeks since she left. I understood why she left me under the bridge... I was the least of her worries.I was just pregnant not dying. Lady Martha happened to be stressed about her husband's well being as well as her sons. If Master Joshua passed on... there would be a whole lot of altercations. His brothers may suddenly appear to fight for his fortune not to mention the feud that would occur amongst the half siblings.There were supervisors that were left in char

Chapter 43 : Called me a harlot
He was back? William was back.For the past two days, that's all I had been hearing. I did not believe it because if William had actually came back... not to sound self-absorbed but I know he would have came to see me and our child.Regardless of the last letter, he sounded so excited about our child. I was wrong, for thinking that way... William was back and he had not wanted to see me. I suppose they were caught up with their family problems that, I shouldn't intrude in."That witch is back too, he is still not steady with his walk since his leg was bitten and that's means more work for me but he is still as evil as can be." Hector told me. We couldn't see each other much anymore, but he always made it a point to sneak out at midnight to come and check up on me. "I curse the aboriginal medicine, they should have let him die!!"In all honesty, I was waiting to hear the parts that involved William. Hopefully, I was wrong. He was just busy, perhaps he left a letter for me. Perhaps he w

Chapter 44 : Called it a new start
Crying? I had done that enough. It was of no use, it only gave me throbbing headaches... heartache. Determined? I was determined that everything would be fine.My mother and aunt Ruth had given me a pep talk that was astounding. I was allowed to feel hurt but it did not mean I should mop around every chance, I got. During the first days, I found it extremely backbreaking to work till the evening.The only slaves who worked around that time were slaves that were serving punishment for whatever reason. Mine? My mistake was thinking, my 'love story' would be somewhat different. I had to watch William and his wife every Sunday, appear together and all loving with each other. I made sure that I kept my eyes on the pastorI could feel him burning holes from afar. I wouldn't give into looking at him.

Chapter 45 : Called them manipulative
(Finally a third person Point of view)Tracy laid comfortably on William's chest. There was enough uncomfortable silence between them. Tracy could tell he was truly hurting, he had not been himself ever since his return. He seemed happy and excited until she broke down the news. He had plans to have a quick shower then go see her. He had many plans but none of them came to life.-Tracy heard William come in through the front door. She immediately put on a poker face. Tears cascading down her cheeks. She had made sure to ravel her own hair to look distressed."Tracy?" William said slowly trying to figure out what was going on."When were you planning on telling me that y-you—" she hiccuped. "You hurt me William and I have done nothing but love you..." she spoke softly, not faltering her facade."What are you speaking of Tracy?" William replied genuinely confused."She came and pushed me down the stairs... I-" Tracy broke into more tears. "She said you were planning to leave me for her

Chapter 46 : Called him Christian
I always expected that I would leave and never return but I did not ever think he would leave. Abruptly just like ghastly clouds or wind passing by. By the time he had left, he had already bid the important people in his life goodbye.For weeks it had not registered that he did not want anything to do with me but after he packed up and left. I knew he was dead-set on leaving me in his past. It was only right, I left him in my past too. I gave birth blissfully with the help of my mother and aunt Ruth. I call it blissful because the blessing of having a child had me overwhelmed with joy.He was so small and beautiful. His cry made my heart falter, his little lungs exercising their capacity, breathing up and down. His tiny fingers bawled in a fist. For a long while, I had absolutely no idea if I'd be having s boy or girl, I was open to both.He blinked his eyes open and to say I was not surprised would be an understatement. What had I expected, that he would mirror me? William had strong

Dear William.My son, I write this letter to you with a heavy heart. I write this letter with tears of pain and sorrow. It torments me not knowing how you are? How your family is?
