It's been two days since Dominik, and I found out we were expecting a child he hasn't contacted me within these two days, not even a damn text. I can only imagine where he is right now, probably drunk on the side of the road somewhere, who knows. I was thrown out of my thoughts when I saw Bella calling, "Hello?" I said trying to sound as normal as possible, I wouldn't want her to think I'm miserable and worried. 

"Hey girl I heard you got engaged and decided not to let us know." She sounded disappointed but it also had a hint of a playful tone in her voice.

"Us?" I asked with a smile tugging at my lips.

"Me and Crystal duh." I missed my friends, Crystal left to college to be a lawyer and it's kind of hard to talk to her lately because she's so busy, and Bella she's not around anymore either due to traveling. She swore that after she graduated, she would go see the world and find true love along the way. I knew that someday I wouldn't be with my friends as much as I used to, I just didn't think it would be so soon. 

"I'm sorry, but how did you guys find out?" I bit my lip, if she knew then my parents do as well.

"Dominik." It took me a minute to process that she said Dominik's name, he told her. When?

"Dominik told you. Why?" 

"He called me and asked if it was too soon to ask you to marry him and blah blah blah. I guess he needed my approval and Crystal's because he called her too." She said and I could see her grinning on the other side of the line even if I can't see her. 

"And you said yes?" I asked without even think about what was coming out of my mouth. 

"Would you rather I said no?" She asked, I stayed silent for a moment not knowing what to say, there is no way in hell I was about to tell her that I'm unhappy and pregnant with his child. 

"I-no I just...I'm surprised that you said yes, did you give him the same lecture you gave Tyler, about hurting me?" I asked.

She snorted, "Of course, I told him that if he dared to do anything to hurt you, I'd make him swallow his front teeth." I smiled and for the first time in what seemed like a long time I genuinely smiled. 

"I miss you." I said with a sigh and before I could even go on, Dominik walked in, he reeked of alcohol and cigarettes. "Um Bella I'm sorry but I have to go, I'll call you later?" I asked.

"Sure, babe I love you, talk to you later." She said with a kiss noise at the end before hanging up. 

"Dominik, where the hell have you been?!" And just like that my day has gone to shit. 

"Shut the fuck up bitch- you- stupid disappointment!" He swayed and fell on the couch barely making it. I just stared at him not saying a single word because he doesn't deserve my attention. I turned around and began to walk away, I needed to get out of here I heard him get up and start to follow me. I just kept walking until I heard him trip behind me, I turned to see him struggling to hold his body up by holding onto the table. He stepped closer and wrapped his arm around me, his lips were so close to my ear that he brushed them up against it, I held my breath because if I were to inhale his alcoholic breath, I swear I will gag. "You, my love, are going to have the time of your fucking life." He whispered, chuckling.

"Dominik, no I'm pregnant and I don't think it's safe, besides, I'm not in the mood." I pushed him off of me and turned around only for him to grab me harder this time and drag me upstairs. "Dominik STOP!" I pushed him away again then my cheek was stinging, he hit me, I stood there in shock holding my cheek. Dominik pushed me on the bed and climbed on top of me. He laughed like this was a game. 

"Dominik- you're drunk." I said, still trying to get him off.
He didn't bother to respond, he sucked on my neck instead, his hand trailed down my body and found its way in my jeans. I gasped and accidentally moaned; Dominik kissed the side of my jaw then moved to my lips. I relaxed and decided to let everything go, and by everything, I mean let go of that stupid voice in the back of my mind telling me to run. 
"You're so gorgeous." He said, stroking my cheek with his free hand, okay I can't let this happen fuck letting go. If he wasn't going to stop willingly then I will just have to make him. I did the only thing that came to my head at the moment and kicked him hard in the groin. He groaned and leaned so way to close to the edge of the bed making him fall off. I sat up and got off the bed, running towards the door. "Fucking bitch!" I started to run and heard him run after me like he doesn't feel so drunk anymore. I was almost to the front door till he grabbed a handful of my hair and began to drag me all the way to the basement. My whole body hurt; my body was dragged down two flights of stairs while my hair was being pulled hard.

"Ow Dominik! Let go of my hair! You're hurting me!" I hissed. Dominik just kept doing what he was doing and didn't even give a damn about me being in pain or not.
He threw me in a cell and locked it., all I had was the cold hard concrete floor and a chair with a hole in the middle and bucket under it. Nothing else was down here not even a window. 
He locked the cell and began to walk away but I stopped him. "Dominik! You can't leave me in here! I can get sick! I'm pregnant for heaven's sake. What the fuck is wrong with you?! Are you insane?! Let me out!" I yelled; he chuckled as his back was still turned to me.

"You should have kept you're pretty little fuckin mouth shut and taken it as a good girl, but you had to open your fucking mouth and ran away. Actions have consequences stupid bitch, maybe you'll finally learn to be a good girl after I come back, if not then you can rot and so can that stupid pile of cells you have inside you." He hissed; he slammed the door so hard that I felt the ground rattle. I said yes to marrying him, I should have listened to my mom and should have told Bella or Crystal about my situation. Why didn't I?

Two weeks later...


I'm still in this cell struggling to stay awake, I was freezing and starving, Dominik comes down here to see if I have "learned my lesson" but when I don't respond he just leaves. He sometimes comes down here with his dinner and water. He gives me anything that's left on the tray and sometimes he just brings cups of water throughout the day. Every day I cry because I'm terrified for my baby, I'm going to lose them if he doesn't get me out now. 
I was curled up in a ball, jammed up in a corner trying to get some sort of warmth, I heard noises upstairs, it sounded like a woman laughing and moaning. Then I heard a thump and Dominik speaking. "You're so gorgeous." My eyes began to get glossy.
He told me that exact same thing, in the exact same way a couple weeks ago, he's cheating on me, while I'm down here suffering. It seems that I'm left with no one now, regret is hitting my heart. I should have never said yes to this man, he's sick.

The door opened; a laugh echoed throughout the basement; I didn't even bother to look up,
I knew it was him, he is the only one who knows I'm down here. I was coughing uncontrollably and when I did my head felt like it was going to explode each time. 
He bent down to my level and cupped my chin, forcing me to look at him, "You sick?" He asked.

"You ask the dumbest questions." I whispered; I jerked my chin to the side getting out of his grip then coughed again.

He smirked again "You ready to come out?" He asked. 

I was too weak to answer and as I was expecting him to just leave again, cell door opened. Dominik came closer and picked me up taking me upstairs. I couldn't help but to snuggle against his warmth, I was an icicle. 
Dominik lied me down on our bed then walked out of the room, I tucked myself under the blankets and shivered, Dominik came back in the room with a water bottle in his hand then opened it, he sat down next to me, and I still said nothing. 
"Here you go, drink slowly." He said, putting the water bottle to my dry lips, I sat up to drink the water desperately. 
Once I tasted the liquid, I drank it quickly. I drank the whole water bottle in less than 10 seconds.
I felt dizzy, so I lied back down. "You want food?" He asked, lifting an eyebrow.
I surprisingly said no, I didn't feel like I was able to eat at this point. I just felt really tired and cold.
"Alright." He said, standing back up. I was still shivering but I was sweating as well.
He walked around the bed and wrapped his arms around me tightly.

Yes, torture me, cheat on me, then come around and act like a loving boyfriend, I hate him.
