IN THE DARK.

MIA

My morning sickness got a bit better at 3 months. Although I wasn't showing much, i still felt such a strong beautiful connection with my baby cub inside my tummy.

By now, almost everyone in the mansion was aware of my pregnancy. The little naive girl who got knocked up by the Don.

Nobody was concerned more than Alessa though.

Her words still rang in my head.

"If you think i'm concerned about the sudden news of the bastard growing inside you, You're wrong. I just came here to remind you of your fucking place. Keep in mind that this bastard.." She pointed at my tummy, my hands unknowingly going towards my baby as if trying to protect them. "this bastard will never get Emiliano's name. Never. He will never accept this dirt. He doesn't even look at you anymore, remember when he used to sneak you out of here and take you on trips of bliss behind my back ?"

"I don't want anything from him." I slowly whispered and hoped she would just leave. I didn't wanna hear anything bad about my child.

"My son only knows how to toy with naive sluts like you but he will never marry one. He's the Don, remember ? You should've never got comfortable with fucking around with him and created a bastard. A bastard that he doesn't even claim." Alessa's evil laugh echoed in the room.

"Kill this dirt would be my ultimate advice for you."

Her words caused me nightmares because God knew they weren't going to make my child's life easy. I prayed for my baby every single night. I prayed for strength so i could protect my child.

I didn't see Emiliano much. Except a few times, maybe 3 times in the past 3 months in the early mornings either seeing him coming back or leaving the state.

Alessa didn't leave any stone unturned in making me want to kill myself. She constantly gave me mundane stuff to do only so i could climb up and down the stairs.

"Don't tire yourself out too much, my darling child. Your baby needs your strength to grow." Sasha told me looking concerned.

"What can i do Sasha ? Nobody wants me have a moment of peace." I huffed when a butler came.

"Send a maid to Don Emiliano's room immediately."

I looked at Sasha and she gave me a concerned look.

"There is no maid available right now." I sighed getting up from my seat from the kitchen bar.

"Don't worry, Mia. I will go check what does he need." Sasha reassured me, squeezing my palm but i shook my head. Sasha's knees weren't in perfect condition. She had constant aches and difficulties to walk a little more. I couldn't let the poor woman climb up the stairs because i knew it would result in her pain.

"I'll go. You sit down for a while and take rest." I told her.

"But..." She tried to intervene but i stopped her.

"I'll go Sasha, It's not a big deal." I gave her a tight smile before walking out.

My back and feet hurt so bad i wanted to scream and cry. I didn't have any doctor check ups except for the only time when the doctor from the other side of the Estate came to check my condition on Maria's request. The doctor was afraid about Alessa finding out that she came here.
