The bell rang again. The pizzas had apparently arrived. "I'll get it!" Terence squealed and jumped on his feet. Taking large steps towards the door, he accidentally let a loud growl come from his tummy, only to be mocked by his best friend. "Oh, the beast is hungry!" Giving him a middle finger, Terence rolled his eyes giggling, and cut a corner to reach the door. Esteban waited patiently for the food to come by spending time on his phone, playing candy crush, even if he knew that would only last a few seconds. He was expecting the food to be on his door and Terence to take a while until he decided the tip he was going to leave. However, when Terence came back, he wasn't holding only pizza boxes and French fries like he was expecting. Instead, he was holding something that seemed to have terrified him and Esteban a lot. "I thought you ordered pizzas, not a baby" Terence mumbled shocked as he placed on the couch a cute basket with a baby inside. • • • _______________________________________________________ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ I don't own any of the photos! • • ENGLISH IS NOT MY MOTHER LANGUAGE, I'M SORRY FOR ANY GRAMMATICAL OR VOCABULARY MISTAKES! • • Please read 'Before You Read' in the first character chap!

Book 2 "Anything?" He whispered smirking again. "Yes." She whispered shakily, knowing what the possibilities could be. "I want children." He stated, continuing to caress her neck with his lips. She bit her lip as they trembled. It was the one thing she didn't want yet, but if it meant she would be allowed to go to University then she would do it. She nodded in response, unable to say the word. He stopped and grabbed her hand, tugging her up to their room. She obediently climbed on the bed and laid down in the middle, closing her eyes tightly. Samir straddled her thighs, biting his lip as he stared down at his wife. She was beautiful. She wasn't skinny, but she wasn't fat either. She was somewhere in between, her stomach had a soft curve to it and she was gifted at the top and bottom. He spread her legs, pushing his muscly thigh between hers, leaning over her again. Behind her closed eyes, she could feel tears of fear forming at what would happen. He was touching her rather gently, she preferred if he would just hurry and finish the process, but it seemed he had other ideas. "I'm going to impregnate you one after the other baby-doll." He whispered in her ear, biting her earlobe. She gasped, opening her eyes wide. "I won't be able to study!" She stated shocked as she felt his warm fingers tickle her stomach. "Too late. You already agreed." He smirked against her neck. ♡°•●○___________________________○●•°♡ Zahara, a sweet girl who has just turned 18, was very bright and had a lot of hopes and dreams for her future.

"Please listen to me. I-I've nothing to do with this. I'll pay you back, I promise. I'll pay you back on behalf of him." "Too late honey." He hissed in my face as he hovered above me, pinning my hands above my head. A malignant smirk took over his lips.

"Do you think you can get away from me, huh?" He asked striding towards her. She trembled at his intimidating voice trying to free her hand from the chains. "P-please...i-i am s-sorry....
