"Do the test." Taehyung gave her the pregnancy test."We have been trying for months, you are supposed to conceive by now." He told her.
He went to the medical store and yet didn't buy some medicines for his daughter, he just didn't care if she died or not.
Ria gulped and walked inside the bathroom to do the test, she was scared, if it came out negative, he would show her his worst wrath and if it came out negative, she will get more bounded to him and what if it was a girl again?
"What's taking you so long? Come out." He said making her flinch.
She grabbed the test and walked out. He took it and a faint smile appeared on his lips, she was expecting. She was scared.
What if it was a girl again? Earlier Ria's condition didn't allow him to kill Ava in her womb and later she begged him to let her keep her but this time? What would she do?
"Good." He said to himself and looked at her."Sit." He made her sit."I want this child fine and safe, got me? So take care of yourself to bear this child." He said politely.
His nice behaviour was more scary to her, it kept her in dark, whether he was actually nice or just pretending infront of her to hurt her later with a shock.
Taehyung's behaviour changed towards her, he didn't want to lose the child, he was gentle with her, but it was getting scary for her.
He took the gender test too and it was a boy this time, he was very happy but Ria had been too traumatized to return back to normal, she would just fear his fury, thinking she would have to endure his abuse again.
He didn't speak ill to her or about their daughter. He didn't love her or express sweetness to her but he didn't express his anger and hate either.
He wouldn't let her work much too, and spent most of his time with her. It was suffocating and she had been let down too many times to hope for good.
She knew once the baby was out, he would again start abusing her, his nature won't change and neither his hate for her.
"Everything will get fine once this child is out." He said holding her chin before he leaned down and kissed her gently pushing her on the bed."You will always remain mine, bounded to me." He smiled at the idea.
She would have lived with him all her life if he had loved her too. Why did he have to abuse her to stay with him? He didn't trust her with his love? Or maybe she was just unworthy of loving.
"I feel like puking." She told him and he left her, what surpised her alot was that he would caress her back whenever she went to puke and hold her hair gently.
Would he always remain like this? She knew he wouldn't but he didn't have to be nice to her now if he was going to turn back like before.
"Where are you going?" He asked holding her hand as she attempted to leave.
"Check on Ava, I have to make the dinner too." She told him, most of the times he was ordering food from out or make it himself, she didn't have to cook most of the time.
"I will take care of that." He told her.
No, she didn't trust him with her daughter, she wasn't going to let him be near her, he would get irritated easily and could do anything, also Ava was a girl who threw alot of tantrums.
"I-I want to check on Ava." She said scared of if he would yell at her. He held her face.
"I told you I would take care of everything, didn't I? Have you forgotten who has a say in our marriage?" He asked tucking her hair behind her ear."So keep quiet and relax." He hummed as a question and she gulped looking down.
He was controlling himself from teaching her that she wasn't allowed to defy him, but since she was pregnant and carrying his son, he didn't want to harm her yet.
He was building up his anger and writing down everything he would make her suffer for later.
He wanted to make sure she didn't take his love and care for granted and later get out of his hold and leave him.
"Sit and don't move." He made her sit before he went out closing the door.
Ria just hoped for him to be patient with her daughter. She heard her daughter's cries calling out for her before they suddenly shut down with a loud sound, her heart stopped, she walked to the door and her daughter seemed shocked with the slap Taehyung had just landed. She was on the floor with the impact.
Her lips parted in shock, she never let him hurt her daughter before, and now just because of her, her daughter seemed scared and hurt.
Her lips quivered, clutching her clothes as she looked at her father scared, he held her arms as he glared at her jerking her up.
"If you cry again and throw a tantrum infront of me, I will land more slaps on your face." He told her jerking her and Ava bit her lips hoping for her mom to take her away. Her cheek was red and she was silently crying. The slap was too hard for a toddler, Taehyung didn't care about the impact."Now open your mouth and eat this, if you don't, then starve, I am not your mom who will make something else and make you eat anyhow." He told Ava as he harshly settled her down on the seat and brought the spoon closer to her mouth. He forcibly opened her mouth and made her eat the soup, she didn't like eating it but he forced it down her mouth.
Ria was in a delimma, if she said something, it would only anger him and he could do worse and if she didn't, her daughter would have to face his anger and abuse.
It was the first time someone had slapped Ava, she developed a fear for her father. She already had one, she didn't feel safe with him, she had seen him hitting her mom but it never came to her.
Taehyung looked at Ria who was looking at her daughter with an apologetic. He put the bowl away.
"I told you to be seated, didn't I? Why can't you take one instruction? Why are you trying to get on my nerves taking advantage of your condition?" He asked standing up and Ria moved back as he walked to her.
She stumbled and fell down and cried loudly at the pain, Taehyung's eyes widened as he saw blood flowing down from her leg, she had a complicated pregnancy, that was why he was taking care of her.
Ria blacked out and he ran to her, tapping her face, he was horrified, he didn't want to lose his son. He was happy about that fact, it would have strengthened his wife's loyalty to him.
