Heartbeat

Chapter 2

Athena Eloise's POV

I don't want to admit it but I miss my mom and dad because even though they are strict, they still support me no matter what happened.

I didn't realize that my tears that I had been holding back just fell on my cheeks. I really want to leave Acheron but I think about the life in my womb. Yes, I'm pregnant and I just found out yesterday after using a pregnancy test. I didn't expect to find out now. But I think I have to hide it from Acheron first because i know that this house will be my prison forever and he might do something to me. Even if I run away, I won't be able to escape because his friend hired a house guard to watch my every move. I feel anxious, sad, frustrated, tired, and overwhelmed but i stop myself to say it to Acheron. Daisy said it's normal to feel that because i'm pregnant.

Daisy was worried about my condition, especially since she knew i was pregnant. She said that i need to tell my husband that I am pregnant so that he will stop beating me but I don't want him to know.

Maybe he will abort this child because I can see from Acheron that he doesn't like children from the beginning or he will do everything so that i can't escape. I also think that I wish I hadn't gotten pregnant because it would be difficult for me to leave Acheron, but it's too late to regret it. I accept the child in my belly but why did this baby come now? When Acheron hurt me? I know that this baby can't change him now.

I looked at the bedroom door when it opened. I saw the bodyguard that Acheron's friend hired to watch my every move.

"What do you need?" I asked without emotion. I don't want to cry in front of others like I did three years ago. I don't want to be seen as a weakness because it might be the one that will destroy me, so I just hid the fact that I was pregnant because of that.

"Boss Acheron wants to talk to you in the living room." he answered.

"Why should I go there if you are locking me here in my room?" he bowed after what I said.

They have been holding me here for several days. They only bring me what I need so that I don't have to go out. How can I get out if the door is locked?

"It's really important, ma'am Athena"

"Alright, I'll be there." I just answered and when he said goodbye and left, I drop myself on the big bed and looked at the ceiling. Is this what my father told me? Wait, I still have his number on my phone but I think he changed his number.

I looked for my cellphone and remembered that Acheron took it from me last night because he said I might call someone.

I sighed and rubbed my stomach that wouldn't know I was pregnant because it was still so small."I will do anything just to leave here, baby, sorry if i will never give you a happy family."

I looked at the door when someone knocked."Ma'am Athena, Sir Acheron wants you to come down immediately."

I stood up and walked out the door. I saw that bodyguard walking down on the stairs so I followed him.

I know that he knows that i'm on his back because he immediately stood on the side of the stairs as soon as he came down the stairs.

"You need to hurry ma'am Athena, I don't want to see you both fighting again."

I laughed sarcastically and went straight to the living room. When I saw Acheron, sitting in the long sofa. I immediately clenched my hand but i
immediately calmed myself down because I didn't want him to be angry and beat me up again especially now that i found out that i'm pregnant.

"Come here."i stilled when he say that without even looking at me. He look up at me and i saw his cold eyes again. The Acheron that i know will look at me with love and adoration in his eyes. But this man infront of me are really different from the man i love."do i have to repeat?"
