The Wife (Sequel to SUGAR)

A trip.

Leah's pov

I hold Ethan against my chest. We sat in the back seat of a car. Jord was in the passenger side whilst one of his goons drove. Ethan silently sobbed against my chest. He clenched my shirt, sobbing aggressively. I stroke his hair, trying to comfort him the best i could. I look up at Jord, who seemed clueless to how much pain he'd caused. He sat with the seat leaned back, his eyes covered with the hood of his jacket, smoking a cigarette.

I shake my head, looking out the window as cars flew past.

"I won't kill him, you know."Jord says, causing me to glance at him.

"Why should i believe that."i say.

He smiles, bringing the cigarette to his lips as he spoke.

"I like the way he looks. He has very defining features."he says before chuckling. 

I roll my eyes as the car comes to a stop in front of a house. I tap Ethan lightly and he sits up. Jord gets out of the car and then opens the door for me. I roll my eyes as i stand up out of the car.

"So, how far along are you, Mrs. James?"he asks.

"None of your business"i say, attempting to walk past him.

He stops me, putting his hand in front of my belly but not touching it. He smiles at me, sending a shiver down my spine.

"And how long did you not know you were pregnant?"he asks.

"Bite me."i say, pushing past his hand.

Suddenly he grabs me from behind, pulling me back to him.

"As you wish"he says angrily before biting my shoulder.

I scream out, feeling his sharp, human fangs sink deep into the flesh of my shoulder.

"Get off her!"Ethan attempts to charge at Jord.

He lets me go and i stumble forward, catching myself before i fall. I turn to see Jord back hand Ethan to the ground, making a small cut on Ethan's cheek with his ring. While Ethan lie on the ground, Jord puts his foot against Ethan's head.

 "Weak."he says, my blood coating his teeth.

"You monster!"i scream at him.

He puts his hands on his hips, as if he's proud of the title.

"Your right. I am a monster aren't I"he smiles, putting more pressure on Ethan's head, making him grunt.

"Get off him! You said you wouldn't kill him!"i yell.

"Ah, yes i did say that. I said nothing about not hurting him."he says, folding his arms as Ethan struggles against the weight of his foot.

"Please! Just get off of him! I'll do whatever you want! Please!"i beg, making him smirk.

"I like you begging. Do it again."he says.

I finally understand what he's getting at. He want's to break me down. He wants something from me.

I drop down to my knees, tears brimming in my eyes.

"Please"i beg.

He smiles, taking his foot of Ethan's head. Ethan gasps for air, spitting out chunks of dirt and grass as i crawl over to him. 

"Off the ground now, you shouldn't be on the ground."he says.

I stand up, helping Ethan. Ethan whimpers, pointing to his faux eye.

"There's dirt in it."he signs.

"It's okay, we just have to clean it, that all, we'll get to a bathroom and clean it."i sign, smiling to try and comfort him. 

"Leah, a word." Jord says. 

I look at him as i hug Ethan.

"I'd just like you to know that there's rarely been a time where i haven't gotten what i wanted. You won't win love, I suggest you stop trying."he says before turning and walking towards the front door of the ginormous house.

"Move" says one of the nameless goons, pushing us towards the house.

The bite wound on my shoulder throbbed, but i held a strong face.

....

We enter the house. In the living room there was a bar, where Jord was fixing himself a drink. 

"Take a seat, you 2"he nods to the bar stools in front of the bar.

We go and sit, he places a shot glass down in front of Ethan, then fills it with tequila. He then sits a glass cup down in front of me, filling it with water.

"Now"he says, sitting down on the bar. 

"I'm no hopeless romantic, like dear Sugar was. The marriage is a marriage, you signing a sheet of paper in front of a judge. And you."he nods to Ethan.

"Son"he smiles.

I furrow my eyebrows, knowing Ethan hadn't heard but was reading his lips.

"Son?"he repeats.

"Ah yes. I've always fancied becoming a father."he smiles, taking a sip of his drink.

"You killed my dad! Why?!"Ethan shouts, making me jump.

"Easy now kiddo. You're father's been dead, has he not?"he smirks.

Ethan's face goes pale as he looks at me, and then down at his hands.

I didn't what was going on, and decided to stop it.

"You want my baby, don't you."i say.

He chuckles.

"That's why you brought us here. That's why you won't kill us."i say as he leans down to where he's able to look me in the eye.

"I guess it's true then, innit? All a monster really wants is a loving family. Figures why your monster went through such great lengths to tie the knot with you, eh?"he says quietly.

"Why Sugar."i ask, holding back tears.

He smiles again, inching closer to my face.

"Why not?"he whispers, chuckling sinisterly as he stood back up straight.

"Oh! The secrets come out! I was the one who had your husband killed!"he claps a few times as my tears run down my cheeks.

He leans down to me once more.

"Your mine now, Leah. By being here, hell, you've wiped away half of Sugars debt. Once i get the money, well."he says sitting down.

"We'll just be a merry little family then, won't we."He smirks.

I look at him, pure hatred in my eyes.

"Sure."i respond.

He chuckles as he stands up, walking over to Ethan and pulling him out of his chair.

"Where are you taking him?!"i ask, standing as well.

"He has an appointment. He's gonna be fine, don't you worry. Just a bit of father son bonding."he chuckles, hugging Ethan beside him.

"But-but i-"he cuts me off.

"You should be resting now, Mrs. James. Gene, will you show her to her sleeping quarters."Jord asks.

A man grabs me, pulling me away towards the stairs.

"Leah! Leah!"Ethan calls after me.
