Over Her Head 2

18.Deja vu

Chapter 18, I could say I'm sorry for taking 712 years to update this, but hey, I said in the beginning that updates would be slow for this one and dammit, I'm true to my word, lmao!

...

So much shit! She thought, looking at the pile of mail and paperwork that she had the maid put in her home office. She'd been so rocked by her mother's sudden passing that she'd just ignored everything for the past month as she took solace in her daughter. But it was time (and long overdue) to get back to the world, and with Chloe sleeping soundly in the Boba sling attached to Julia, she made her way inside her home office and sat behind the large desk.

Still taking Chloe with her everywhere, she'd been told that she was being silly, but what was she to do? She still hadn't gotten around to hiring a nanny. She'd looked at some resumes, but in reality, and she knew that this was unusual for the people in her circles, but she honestly didn't see the need, despite all of the encouragement from those around her. She'd waited so long for her baby. Through the countless losses at Thomas's hands, and after the last one, she was told that she wouldn't conceive again.

"The baby..." She pleaded with him but instead he just grabbed scissors from the counter and pressed them into her stomach before he looked at her, cold, dead eyes with a hint of madness on his face.

"How do I know it's even mine? I know what you whores do. I know that you do, Julia." He said calmly.

She didn't understand. Was he implying that she'd cheated? He'd kept her in such a state of absolute fear that she couldn't even make eye contact with anyone for fear of inciting his wrath. There's no way that this baby was anyone else's and part of her knew that he knew this.

"...I swear," she cried, almost hyperventilating through her tears. There was blood pouring from the cut on her head and she couldn't think straight but she had to make him believe her. "...the baby's yours...it's yours, I swear...please!"

"So you're calling me a liar?" He was trying to confuse her; either that, or he wanted a reason to attack her further. "ANSWER ME!!" He screamed as she screamed prompting him to press the blade of the scissors further into her skin just above her pubic mound, and she began to bleed.

"Thomas...please don't do this!"

Wrong answer. And It came too late as he suddenly drove the blade of the scissors through her abdomen. She didn't scream. Maybe it was from the shock of the situation but there was no pain, only disbelief at what he'd done, and the fact that he remained totally calm and watched her reaction as he'd done it.

"Say goodbye to your bastard." He said with a smile, then pulled them out and drove them back in again before taking the blood covered scissors and tossing them. He grabbed the hair of a shocked Julia, who was bleeding heavily from the cut on her abdomen and dragged her a few feet.

"I'll fucking teach you to cheat on me!" He said, dumping her in the middle of the bathroom floor and tearing her bikini away from her body while she screamed. He didn't care that he had just stabbed her and that she was bleeding profusely. No, for Thomas, this moment was all about exerting power and it remained about power as he got down on the floor and violently raped her over and over before he called an ambulance, citing that she'd fallen into the scissors and hit her head on the way down.

They believed him in spite of the fact that they'd found fresh bruises as well as semen all over her.

She was pulled from the memory by Chloe nipping at her shirt, trying to feed and whining when she couldn't quite get to her target.
