In the Shadow of Lies
As the sound of our footsteps echoed in the empty space, an unsettling feeling crept up my spine.
"I heard you're pregnant." A familiar voice rang out, laced with mockery and disdain.
I stopped and turned to face Daisy, who stood in the shadows with her arms crossed. A smirk played on her lips, and her eyes gleamed with malicious excitement.
"Looks like I underestimated you, Eleanor." She walked toward me slowly. "But do you know why you haven't had children these past five years?"
My fingers clenched, an ominous feeling settling in my heart.
Daisy chuckled softly. "Because I didn't want you to have one."
