Juss’s Pov When I woke up at first, I was so sure that I would see him beside me, probably with me chained to my bed but I was wrong. Instead, I found myself back in another room. An apartment that he had paid for me which I found out only when I spotted the note on the desk beside my bed. Hello, Juss, I know you’d rather do this on your own, I know you don’t want me around either. I can’t promise to stay away from you, I don’t think I can ever do that again, but I will give you some space for now to figure out things. I am sorry for ruining everything, I am sorry for fucking trying to make your life as fucked up as mine. But I’ll have you know that you and the baby are the best things that has ever happened to me. If you need anything, give me a call…. Love, Eggust. I felt a throbbing pain in my heart as I read his letter, as tears began to form soon enough and the questions began to flood in as well. Was I being unreasonable? Did I care too much about what other people t

Hera’s Pov As I walked into the bar, I tried to keep my head down so I wouldn't be seen but I had not gone further than five steps before I heard a voice snap, "And where the fuck have you been?" The words sent a wave of Nostalgia through me. There was only one person whom I knew that spoke to me in that manner, and she was the reason I came back here. But he was the reason for what I was about to do. I raised my head up and stared at her. Rita was a forgotten wanna-be bitch that knew she was growing older and unwanted so tried her hardest to make everyone around her a living hell. And she was beginning to target me the most. She pointed a finger at me from behind the bar she stood at and said, "You keep acting like you are special. Seems like you wanna go back to the streets, don't you?" I was never in the streets to begin with, I just happened to be a victim of failed promises. I was abandoned by the one person I cared about. The one person I thought I meant

Juss’s Pov “You dare stalk your stupid ex online, while you’re carrying my fucking child?” My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as I raised up my head to stare at Eggust, with rage visible in his eyes. My mind scrambled while l tried to comprehend what he was accusing me of, or what he felt he had the right to accuse me of. “Whatever do you mean?” I asked, my voice quivering slightly. “Don’t try to play dumb with me, Juss,” He shot back, his voiced laced with frustration. “I hate it when people try to downplay my intelligence. I saw you going through his Facebook.” “Firstly, you do not own me, Eggust Flemming. Secondly, I do not owe you any explanation, I am not your property, you cannot—-“ “You are carrying my fucking child, Juss. You belong to me, you and that baby in your womb belong to me. So think twice before you do something like that again.” He clamored, storming out of the room and slamming the door behind him. If I didn’t have any solid reason t

Juss’s Pov After spending the last two days in a shitty hotel, I was glad to move into my new apartment, which was quite small. It wasn’t so different from the hotel I had been in, also might not be an ideal place to raise a child, but it was a little upgrade and would make do for now. I hadn't expected to get one so soon, before now, I hadn’t been to Manchester, I didn’t know what to expect. So when the agent called to say that there was a space available, I jumped at the offer. I tried my best to keep an open mind coming here, I just needed a fresh start. It didn't matter to me when he said it was small or not very upscale. I didn't mind. It was a place I could call home. It turned out that the previous owner had suddenly moved out due to an emergency so the place was available. My thoughts drifted to the apartment Eggust had gotten for me. The new owner would probably think he had struck gold because I suddenly moved out. That was if Eggust would agree to let someone e

Juss’s Pov After my meal was delivered, I wasted no time in devouring it. There were no more growls from my stomach, which meant the baby had been satisfied. I didn’t know why, but the thought of it filled my heart with warmness. A wide grin suddenly formed on my face, this baby was growing on me and I couldn’t have it any other way. Having a child wasn’t a bad thing, yes I wasn’t prepared to have one, and I sure would have never wanted Eggust to be its father, but I had grown to love the baby. It was a part of me and something about that made it magical. I began to think, would the situation have been different if Marco was the father? Was I having second thoughts about having the baby solely because Eggust was responsible for it or was it because I was way older than him? Because now that we were here all by ourselves, it didn’t seem like a bad idea. I decided to let go of any thought that dwelled on the past, and to focus solely on the future. I took a quick show
