The Agony Of Betrayal

The only sound in the dimly lit hospital room was the heart monitor's constant beep; the air was thick with the antiseptic smell of disinfectant. The bright daylight was fading into thick darkness, and Jeri's dreams were becoming increasingly blurry with each passing second, as she lay on the hospital bed, her pale face twisted in agony. Her abdomen ached, her insides feeling like they were being torn apart. Perhaps this would be her last day on Earth. Who knows? “No…please.” grappling the sheets tightly, Jeri cursed amidst the torment as tears continued welling down her eyes and soaked the bed. She tried to call for help, but her voice was thin and barely audible. “You're finally getting what you deserve.” A chilly expression graced the face of Jeri's stepmother, who was sitting in a chair next to the bed. She made no attempt to assist the 21-year-old pale pregnant woman who was in anguish. Well, she can't be blamed because her barren life never permitted her to experi

Shattered Illusion

A few minutes later, a doctor, who will deliver the infant, a labor nurse, who will coach the pushing while monitoring the baby's progress, and one more nurse entered the room. One of the nurses held a delivery tray containing gloves, scissors, artery forceps, cord clamp, sponge-holding forceps, a urinary catheter, a bowl for antiseptic lotion, a gauze piece, and some other surgical equipment. When they approached Jeri, who was lifeless on the bed, the doctor turned to Margaret and announced. “Sorry, madam. Please excuse us while we perform her operation, okay?" Dr. Eric spoke calmly but eagerly, hoping to save both Jeri and the baby. Margaret chuckled and said nothing, instead taking her daughter's hand and exiting the room, leaving the medical staff to their duties. As they walked away, their only wish was that Jeri and her innocent child would not survive the surgery. As soon as they found themselves in the hallway, they spotted an average height man who was coming their dir

Abandoned And Alone

“I need to speak with my daughter,” Mr. Hemsworth told Dr. Eric, clenching his fist furiously. The doctor nodded, turning around, and leading them into the operating room without giving a second thought. They found themselves staring at Jeri, who was lying in a pool of her blood on the sick bed. When Mr. Hemsworth's gaze fell on Jeri, whom he had been claiming for years as his biological daughter when she was not, he cursed the day he married his ex-wife. "Sir, she is gradually dying. We must act quickly to prevent her death, which would not only be tragic for the family but also for her defenseless newborn child.” The father of the patient was notified by one of the nurses who was with Jeri. Suppressing his tears, Mr. Hemsworth dragged his legs to the sick bed where Jeri was lying, his anger boiling inside of him. As her father approached her, she assumed her father was sad because of her condition, unaware that it was something more heartbreaking than what she was going throu

A Glimmer Of Hope

At that moment, Jeri persuaded herself that everyone on Earth, including heaven and earth's inhabitants, detested her. Not even the rain shows her love or sympathy. Her only hope for survival was the streetlights that illuminated the deserted streets; everything else was dark. Pulling the blanket over her infant, she wondered where she would find safety. She was drenched to the bone and her infant was wailing in her arms in a matter of minutes. Although she was wet, her baby was not because she did everything she could to keep the rain from touching him. The cold weather was only the child's challenge. She surveyed her surroundings, but she could not find any cover. As fate has it, a stranger came into view just when she was about to lose hope. Jeri started to back away in terror, convincing herself that the man was not there to rescue her but rather to hurt her. Maybe her stepmother sent him to get rid of her. Who knows? The man had an umbrella slung over his head and was d

Unraveling Secrets

Darien supplied all they needed, so Jeri was able to take a shower in the guest room and make sure her child was clean as well. She quickly changed into her new dress that Darien had purchased after taking a shower. After dressing her baby, she sat on the edge of the bed and gazed at him in admiration. The infant fell back asleep shortly after his mother breastfed him. “I love you my hero,” Jeri shut her eyes and kissed the infant on the forehead. "You do not need to worry because Mom is here for you. I will do everything in my power to help you succeed as a man. That's a promise from me.” Jeri's eyes were filled with genuine motherly love as she mumbled a few words to her child. Although he was the reason she was going through this hell presently, she still feels blessed. Thousands of married women out there have been seeking this same blessing but they haven't gotten. But here she's carrying a baby when she's yet to marry. Well, having him also brought light to her life. Becaus

The Echoes Of Betrayal

Jeri attempted to clean the blood stains on the floor before beginning the treatment, but Darien objected. “I will not sit here and watch you do that, Jeri. You have nothing to worry about. I will clean it myself. All you need to do now is go sit down and get your treatment, okay?” Darien informed her. “No, Darien. I'm the woman here. So it is my responsibility to clean. Besides, I was the one who stained the place, so…” “I am not sure who said cleaning is only for women,” Darien interrupted. “If I could clean the spot you stained before leaving to shower, why can't I do the same with this small drop on the floor? As I previously stated, you will not be responsible for cleaning or cooking as long as you live in this house. I am going to do it myself.” Jeri was unable to speak further; instead, she smiled as she stared at Darien. 'He is such a caring man,' she reflected internally. “I know, right?” Darien chuckled, as if he knew exactly what she was thinking. “Huh?” her mouth wi

Jeri's Dilemma

“Is… Is this you?” she inquired, her voice barely audible. "Oh, of course I am. Are you surprised?” Darien inquired, an evil smile on his face, as he tried to close the gap between them. Jeri took a few steps backwards, clutching her child tightly to her chest, ready to protect him from harm. Darien paused a few steps away from her when he realized her back was already against the wall. He stood with his arms wrapped above his chest, staring at Jeri, who wished the world would open and swallow her up. Just then, a lady emerged behind Darien from the darkness. The lady was tall and slender. She wore a long black gown. Her hair was dark and glossy, and her eyes were a striking blue. She stood between Darien and Jeri, a smirk on her face. She looked at Jeri from head to toe with disdain. “Who are you?” Jeri inquired, her voice trembling. “I am here to save you, Jeri, but there is a cost to pay before you can be saved,” the lady explained. Jeri was perplexed and could not c

The Battle For Love

Darien became lost in thought as his expression changed gradually after hearing that.“What’s wrong?” When Jeri noticed how suddenly angry Darien became, she inquired. It was strange. “Umm… well…” Awkwardly scratching the back of his head, Darien attempted to maintain his composure despite appearing confused. “ Nothing… nothing.”“Huh? You have got to be kidding, Darien. Come on, talk to me,” Jeri insisted, looking worried. She knew something had gone wrong when he acted that way. Darien, on the other hand, did not want her to find out what was going on, so he faked a smile. “There is no need to be concerned, Jeri. I'm doing extremely fine. I think it's time to go to bed now. We will talk tomorrow, okay?” He pecked her cheeks and kissed her son's forehead before leaving the room without waiting for her to say anything.Jeri remained silent, perplexed as to why Darien's expression had changed so dramatically afte

Love VS Family Legacy

Darien was even more surprised when he discovered that Jeri knew the lady. “Jeri, you know this punk who sells her body to make money?” Darien questioned with skepticism.“A punk?” Jeri was lost. “ What exactly are you talking about? This is Aysel, my stepsister. She is the stepsister I told you about."Darien's parents, unable to comprehend what was going on, stood silently as they watched the drama unfold in front of them.“What is happening here?” Mrs. Lucinda inquired, her gaze moving from one person to another." Darien, have you met her before?"“Mom, I knew this lady as Catherine, and she works in the Delham brothel. She offers her body to men in exchange for money. Tell me, Mom, is this the woman you want me to marry?” Darien spoke through clenched teeth, pointing at Aysel. “What are you saying, Darien? Does that mean you go to the Delham brothel?” His mother raised her eyebrows, anticipating his response.

A Pawn In A Game Of Deceit

As soon as she let out, the tears she had been holding back for so long flowed down her cheeks to the ground.On the other hand, Aysel was overjoyed because Jeri had given up on Darien so quickly. That was all she ever wanted. Jeri turned around and was about to leave the house as tears streamed down her cheeks. “What are you trying to do, huh?” Darien grabbed Jeri's arm, causing her to pause halfway to the door. “ I brought you here and…”“And your parents are against it.” She cut through his words and yanked her hand from his grasp." I do not belong here, Darien! Can't you see that?” Jeri looked into Darien's eyes, expressing her heartbreak, pain, and disappointment. Darien could see in her eyes that she adored him as much as he adored her, but the circumstances prevented her from expressing her love for him.Jeri clutched her child against her chest, allowing endless tears to flow down her cheeks, revealing to Dar
