The Affair

Chapter 22

Chloe's POV

Just then my phone rings, I look and see it's the doctors office

"Oh look someone's got some results I presume?" He jeers nastily

I hesitate for a moment but then answer it

"Hi Chloe?" My doctor asks and I take a deep breath, I'm not ready for this

Actually, no, I think I am now

"Yeah" I reply slightly nervously, I know what I want now, I just need to know

"They matched, Ryan's the dad" I've never been so happy in my entire life

I'm free, I'm done

"Thank you so much" I thank her, I know she rushed that test, then I hang up

"Let me guess, Ryan's the father?" He asked spitefully, he actually seemed a little hurt by that but I'm not convinced of anything anymore

"I'm done, I'm leaving and filing for divorce, what's the point, you hate me, I hate you now, why bother? You don't give a shit about your son so I'll take him and he won't be in your way, you'll never hear from me again I promise you that, goodbye Thomas" I tell him coldly and then turn to leave

But he grabbed my arm harshly, I winced as he did, he had a strong grip and it really hurt

"Ow!" I exclaimed but the fact he'd hurt me didn't seem to phase him "get off me!" I yelled but still nothing

I tried my hardest to pull my arm away but he had too tight a grip and I just wasn't strong enough to get my hand away

"Oh honey that's not how this works, you don't get to leave, you don't get to talk, there will be no divorce, just like there will be no baby" he snarled and I'm that moment my heart began to race

Please tell me I'm imagining things and he didn't just say that

"W...what?" I stutter, praying I'd misheard him

"You heard me" he tells me coldly as he basically throws me back into the room so he's in between me and the door

"Thomas, please, I won't say anything to anyone, no one will ever know the truth, we just grew apart, please!" I begged, I genuinely feared for my life and I was right to

"No" he replied simply

"I won't get rid of my baby" I told him forcefully but he just laughed, a cold and almost psychotic laugh

"Oh honey, if you won't do it, then I'll do it myself" he tells me angrily

He wouldn't beat me until I lose my baby....w....would he?

"So what's it gonna be?" He smirks nastily, I married a monster

"Were you always like this? Did you always think of me like this? Was this always what we were? Did you want me to marry you because you loved me or because it looked good for you?" I questioned both nervously and angrily at once

"Whatever helps you sleep at night" he replied, I don't know what that means, even if he did care once, he probably wouldn't admit it now

"Just stop Thomas! Get out of my way!" I yelled but that only seemed to make him angrier

I tried to get past him but he pushed me back so hard I lost my balanced

Then he slapped me straight across the face and I fell to the ground, so dizzy that I thought I was gonna pass out

But then I felt my phone start vibrating in my pocket, carefully I pulled it out of my pocket using my body to shield it from Thomas' view, I could barely move so I figured it was worth a shot

I saw it was Ryan calling me so I hit answer and then moved to discreetly hide my phone under the bed where he couldn't see it as I tried to pull myself onto my knees

I couldn't do it, I was too week, he'd taken everything out of me when he threw me to the ground, I had nothing left

I just had to hope Ryan would figure out what was going on and get here in time, I hope to god he does

---------------------------------------------

Will Ryan figure out what's going on? Even if he does then will he get there in time? Or will he be too late to save Chloe and their baby? Will Thomas really do what he says? Xoxo
