Aiden didn’t strike me, but his eyes never left my belly, like he was itching to cut the child out right there. This time, I let them. I endured the blows and insults without a shred of resistance.

“Don't do anything stupid. Your every action affects us." I roll my eyes. That family is dangerous and insane. I can't be with them. Besides dad don't give a fuck about me. Then why should I?

I can't believe that someone could utter such a dumb and stupid statement. "I never knew you are this dumb. How do you expect me to tell my family such blatant lies that hold no water? Do you think my family members are fools? Do you think they don't know me well enough to know the things I can do or not? Now listen carefully Mr. Dumb Head, my family knows what I am capable of doing, and sleeping with a stranger and getting impregnated by him is not one of them. I will never tell my family such blatant lies!" I fumed in anger.

"You wretched brat! You'd better stop tormenting Jesse this instant!" I had to go all the way, since I was already putting on a show. I scrambled over to Mom and Dad's side and used the exact same method, hammering my fists against their chests with everything I had. I yelled as I struck them, "I don't believe it! Mom and Dad are definitely still alive! I'll save them with resuscitation. I know they can still come back!"

Are you falling for his trap?” “I don’t have a choice.” “That motherf*cking b*stard.” +++ “Are you out of your mind?” Dad almost yelled at me, but I just looked down. “You’re not saying yes to that b*stard—”

“It was business. I needed your family’s influence. You needed us too.” “You crazy bastard,” I screamed. “My family saved your company when it was collapsing. If my dad were alive, you wouldn’t be standing here right now he would have taught you a lesson. If anything happens to my sister, I’ll destroy everything you’ve built, and I mean every word you just heard.” He clapped his hands slowly. “Bravo. Such a flawless performance. You can do shit. And thank goodness your father is gone. As for Alice she can die for all I care.”
