Visenya Targaryen

Chapter Twenty Four

I couldn't sleep that night. What Elina had said kept repeating itself over and over again in my head. The thought of Jacaerys finding out of this from Aemond in a heated argument made my stomach turn so I could not relax enough to sleep.

I sat on the couch, biting at my thumb, riddled with anxiety as I waited for Jacaerys to come to bed.  The hours grew late as I waited, holding my stomach gently as I stared at the same spot for hours just waiting for my husband to walk through those doors... My husband, whom I betrayed.

My eyes stung as the tears spilt from the corners and rolled down my face. I have been married a month, and I have let Aemond in again so easily. What was wrong with me? How could I possibly be so stupid to do this to myself when I was so close to being free from his grip? How could I betray a man who loves me? How could I destroy my marriage and all trust Jacaerys had for me?

" Visenya?" I jumped at the sudden voice, my eyes wide, red and glossy from the tears. " Visenya, what's happened?" Jacaerys asked, worry clear in his tone as he sat beside me. " Why have you been crying?" I cried harder, seeing how worried he was about me. I turned away from him and held my head. " It's all my fault," I sobbed. " What is your fault? Visenya, please tell me what's happened.".

I held my stomach protectively as I cried. " I'm so sorry, Jacaerys, I can never express how sorry I am, and I can never make it up to you.". Jace suddenly grabbed my face and forced me to look at him. " Tell me what has happened.". I could feel myself shake as I stared at him, his brown eyes full of worry and panic. " Aemond-" " Do not tell me he has -" " It's my fault.". I cried. Jacaerys gave me a confused look. " I was changing for my bath, and I heard the door open, I thought it was Elina, so I stepped out in my undergarments. When I turned around, it was Aemond. He didn't believe I was carrying a babd, he refused to believe it. He kept going on and on about how I was supposed to carry his children.".

I cried, thinking back of the memory, " I tried to calm him, I spoke about how he would be an uncle. How great he would be with my child and all the things he could teach them. He said he couldn't lose me and asked for one last kiss. I told him we couldn't, I would be leaving for Dragonstone with you and your family in the morning. He got so emotional that he begged me to stay and be his wife and told him it would never happen.  I was your wife, and I carried your child, and nothing would change that.".

I glanced at Jacaerys. He was staring at me, listening carefully. " He became so sweet and passionate. Holding my face and begging me to let him bury his cock inside me one last time. I refused, repeatedly. Saying I couldn't do that, I was happily married, but he got me in a post where he had me pinned down and slipped himself inside of me and-" I cried, holding my head. "Visenya.". " I enjoyed it, Jace! It made me think back to when we first started our relationship, how he used to be so kind and gentle with me. I kept telling him to stop, but it felt good, and I liked it. Until Elina came into the room and I realised what was happening and Aemond grew so angry and voilent".

Jace grabbed my hands, " I have destroyed our marriage and our family before it has even begun. I am so sorry, Jacaerys. I can never make it up to you.". Jace sighed, " I am not angry with you, Visenya.". I turned to Jace, surprised. " I am hurt and upset, but I am not angry with you. My anger is aimed towards Aemond, who has yet again got away with raping you.". " But he didn't -" " You said you kept refusing him. That he got you in a position where you were pinned down, and he slipped himself inside you. He manipulated and raped you, Visenya, because that is what Aemond does.". I looked at Jace, confused, " But this is my fault? I let this happen.". Jace sighed, holding my face gently. " Visenya, I love you with all my heart, and it pains me to see you blame this on yourself. It hurts to see how easily Aemond can hurt you and get away with it.".

Jace leaned his head against mine. " I will not let this go unpunished. Aemond has attacked you for the last time." Jace stood from the couch." Tomorrow, we leave for Dragonstone, and I will not let that pathetic man lay a single finger on you again.". Jace paced back and forth, stopping when he saw my hand on my stomach. " He will not get away with his crimes again. Not only has he attacked my wife, but he has also attacked my unborn child.". Jace suddenly stormed out of our chambers, making me rush after him. " Jace!" I called after him in a panic, rushing to keep up with his long, angry strides.
