Kahlan POVI couldn't think for a moment. It felt like my sense of thinking had been shut down. Wait, that couldn't be correct, right? There's no way I would be pregnant.I stood up suddenly and made a mental check before I turned to look at Eric again."You are lying!" I yelled as if I was merely trying to convince myself. Why would I be pregnant?Maybe, I'm not being realistic. I intentionally had sex with Eric that day so that I could get pregnant. With that, I would be able to plan my escape and how to avenge my pack's death. So, technically speaking, I was expecting it.Why was I so surprised?"I heard that!" Eric said suddenly.My hands went around my head in an attempt to build a fence around my thoughts. "What are you doing? Can't I think in peace?" I yelled in frustration.Eric laughed for a moment before he became sober again. "I'm sorry but you look so funny right now. I mean is it possible for a mother not to know she's with a child?"" Stop it!" I yelled again, as I rais

Kahlan POV I watched her for a moment in silence. A lot of things were going through my mind in some sort of crazy confusion. "So, that's why you think Eric doesn't deserve it?" Naomi nodded briefly. " He doesn't, Kahlan. The only sin he committed was having a brother like Hardin. If I had someone like Hardin, I would have killed him but Eric loved him so much. He couldn't till today bring himself to kill his brother." " What? Are you saying Eric is truthful?" She nodded briefly. " He can be stubborn and hard on the outside but when you get to know him, you will discover how wonderful he is," she stood. " I will leave now. You should take care of yourself." " Wait!" I said quickly before she could step out of the room. She turned towards me and raised skeptical brows at me. "Is something wrong?" I nodded briefly and moved closer to her. "I have a problem but I will like to ask for your opinion." Naomi nodded briefly. " Alright, go on. I will do my best to reply to you." I he

Kahlan pov "You keep saying I would abandon you after you have a child. Then, why am I not doing that even when you are with a child already?" He questioned, his eyes filled with rage. I scoffed. "Because you can't wait for me to give you this child. You only needed three months to collect my child and kill me!" I pointed an accusing finger at him. My allegations were strong and really counter to his. He probably had no idea who he was dealing with. The door opened almost immediately as if everyone in this place heard his order. Two men rushed inside and gripped me before I could say a word. "You will regret letting down my last request, Kahlan. You will regret not trying to believe me even when I was playing it so nicely," his deep voice came out from behind as I was being led out of the room. "She will be in the deepest dungeon and she will be under close watch," he continued. I tried to look back at him but the men's hold on me was firm. Turning my head only meant hurting my

SONIA'S POV I felt my world come crashing on me the moment I heard those girls utter those words. I felt weak instantly and only struggled to keep my balance. A Sharp pain tugged at my heart and I felt I was going to die. The ladies gazed at me with confusion, wondering if I was being realistic or just being dramatic like I was most of the time. "Are you being serious now or you're kidding? You know me too well and by now I'm sure you're aware that I do not take lightly to pranks," I sputtered with my hands clenched into a fist. I had developed an instantaneous headache, one that threatened to blow my head up. "And what gain would be ours if we decide to tell you a lie? She's pregnant ma'am…" the eldest of the duo spoke up with her hands shaking uncontrollably. A glance at her and you could mistake her for a jelly. "And where did you say that bitch is being locked up?" I yelled in a loud, baritone voice that sent shivers down the spines of the others who were with me in the room.

ERIC'S POVAs I sat on the chair in my chambers, I pondered on so many things. I couldn't understand why Kahlan hated me so much. Nothing I do ever seem to move her or even entice her. It hurts so much and pierces deep into me. I still remember the day she rejected me like it was yesterday. "Do you have to be this hostile towards me? I already said I wasn't the one who killed your parents," I'll say to her whenever she brings up the issue and by now, I have lost count of the number of times I said those words. A hundred, two hundred… I can't seem to remember.I was still rummaging in my thoughts when I heard a knock on the door. It came loud and Sharp, startling me as I wasn't expecting anyone, especially at that time of the day. "Who is it? Come on in!" I muttered, placing a hand over my belly that still hurts. The door came open, revealing the royal doctor and a young lady who bore his bag. I had seen her time over numbers with him and had assumed she was his apprentice. I was wro
