I started to shake as fear took over my body. I gulped trying to think what to do?
He came closer , circling me like a hungry vulture looking down at it's prey - and in a lot of ways that was very accurate and true - while I stood still , not moving a muscle , too afraid of what will happen if I do .
"I see you've gained some weight ." He said matter - of - factly as if I didn't know that already.
"Um ... yeah well ... I am pregnant so..." I said barely above a whisper , looking down at the floor .
He gripped my chin hard and forced me to look up into his blazing eyes.
"You know I could let you get locked up for child abduction right ? " he snarled in my face as anger seeped through him.
"Child abduction? What are you talking about Austin ? "
"I'm talking about you , stealing my heir ." He said pointing to my tummy
"Excuse me !? Your heir !? This is my child just as much as yours ! "
My head snapped to the side as his hand made contact with my cheek making it sting , and probably red . He slapped me !
"Shut up ! Don't you dare raise your voice at me again you lazy cow ! This is my child and I will do whatever I please with it , you hear me !? "
A tear started to roll down my cheek as I thought about him taking my little jellybean and me never seeing them again . I wish I knew what to do . But I have no idea anymore.
Staying silent means I'm planning something , defending myself gets me beaten, so what am I supposed to do ?
"Answer me !" He roared in my face making me shake in my boots , literary.
"Y-yes Austin ..."
"Good . You have an appointment with our doctor tomorrow I want to know exactly when I'll have my heir . And you'll report back to me after the appointment. If you don't you'll have to face the consequences. "
Their doctor, as in their gang doctor, as in a male examining me ? I don't like this one bit . Chances are he isn't qualified either , he's probably some butcher they've found on the street.
I only gave him a nod as I was too afraid if I said anything he'll explode again .
He then nod his head towards the stairs as I made my way up slowly and carefully .
When I reached the top I wasn't sure if I should go to our bedroom or the guest . The guest probably I don't want to be near him for aslong as I can .
I sat on the bed , thinking about what just happend downstairs - my hand resting on my plump belly - this is such a mess ...
"What are you doing?"
My eyes shifted up as I saw Austin standing in the doorframe with a ... what is that ? a confused look ?
"I'm just taking a breather before dinner . Sorry ..."
"No , I mean in here . What are you doing in here ? "
"Oh ... um I didn't know if I should stay here or -"
"No , you'll stay in my bedroom . I want you as close to me as possible incase you try to escape again . And don't get any ideas this isn't permanent and doesn't mean anything . And before you come up with any stupid ideas , don't. I'm going to be working from home until my heir is born , so I can keep an eye on you . "
"Oh , okay ... "
I stood up as I made my way across the hall dreading each step .
****
I just came from the doctor and it was so weird having a dirty old man touching me , examining me , eyeing me like a piece of meat . But, it's over and done with .I'm standing outside Austin's office door deciding should I knock or just walk in ?
Knock , definitly don't want him ripping my head off about that too.
"Enter ."
He shouted from the other side as I turned the knob with a shakey hand .
He briefly looked up from his laptop making eye contact before continuing.
"Sit . " he orderd
Sit ? Um ... okay ?
I took a seat across from him not knowing what to do . This was all too weird and all new to me .
"Talk . " he ordered again like commanding a dog to sit and speak .
I took in a breath , calming myself as I begun ;
"Um ... the doctor said the baby's healthy, no sign of any sickness or anything to worry about . He says the baby is quite small but not abnormally small , just tiny which means it has a high chance of being born premature. I'm about 8 months which gives me about a month but he said we can prepare for anytime from now for it to be born . Thats it ... " i ended in a shakey breath thinking over if I mentioned everything.
He just looked up at me , watching me intently if I'm telling the truth. And then just mumbled an "okay "
I sat still in my spot waiting for him to say something else , but he didn't. He just carried on with who knows what .
"You're excused. "
"What? "
"You can leave now " he said not once looking up again .
I walked back to "our" room thinking - I do that a lot lately - but stopped my rushing thoughts, not wanting to stress or get anxiety that could hurt my jellybean .
I'd do anything for my jellybean . I'd die if it ment they could live . Heck , I'll even stay here with Austin and get beaten for the rest of my life if it ment I could see my jellybean grow up and have the best life possible .
Austin may be cruel and vicious and heartless, but deep down I believe that he'll do anything for our jellybean to have the best life possible . I have to believe . I have to hope . Thats all I have left ...
****
It's passed midnight and I'm still rolling around in bed , I can't sleep and I don't know why .Austin hasn't come up yet but then again he's probably in the guestroom with some flirt or fell asleep at his desk . I'm hoping its the lateral.
Getting up , I slip my slippers on and threw my robe on. As I walked down the hall a cold breeze blew right through me making me shudder . I clutched my rode tighter around my body as I walked down the steps .
When I made it to his office I decided to just walk in , what's the use knocking at this hour right ?
And surprise surprise there he was and guess what ?
That's it what do you think? Leave me your thoughts in the comment section ✌
