After going through several streets and facing a small traffic jam, the car finally entered the parking lot of a building that housed the medical clinic, and we went up.On the floor where we left the elevator, the receptionist all but drooled over Athos and spread out a red carpet for him to pass, such was the flattery and undisguised interest.There I found out that the appointment was already scheduled, and I was relieved to learn that the gynecologist who would attend to me was a woman.We were taken directly to the doctor's office, a large and elegantly decorated room, where she was sitting behind a table, in front of which we sat down.She was a woman in her early fifties, with intelligent eyes behind her prescription glasses and a classic elegance. Something in her manner gave me a certain assurance, and I felt a little less afraid of Athos's proximity, convinced that he wouldn't harm me as long as we were in his presence."So, you're expecting your first child," said the woman
ATHOSAs I watched the girl devour her chicken in orange sauce like a starving woman who had not eaten anything in days, I suddenly felt a sinking conscience for having almost left her without lunch. Despite being a scammer, she was also almost a child, who most likely carried a part of me inside her womb. I could not be so inhuman as to starve them both.Looking at her, anyone who did not know her would never imagine the types of mess she was involved in, in complicity with her family. Since he had an air of innocence, an aura of sweetness and kindness that fooled anyone. In addition, she had a beauty that would never go unnoticed. The very clear blue of her eyes, they seemed to come out of a rare painting, her mouth was too sexy, molded into a doll's face, with porcelain skin. It was the perfect weapon to lure and deceive unsuspecting men.I would bet that that innocent, shy, quiet way of yours was nothing more than a disguise, a trap for idiots. She was most likely used to giving a
I woke up with my heart about to burst out of my mouth, it was so racing. A thick layer of cold sweat covered my body. The fear that gripped me was so terrifying I could feel it in my bones, consuming me, splintering me and terrifying me.On impulse, I ran to the switch and turned on the living room's bright light, looking around just to make sure I was really here, in my house and not in that terrifying stable. Realizing the reality around me, realizing that everything was just a bad dream, calmed me down a bit, although the panic was still there, making my body shake uncontrollably.Trying to calm down, I sat down on the edge of the couch and buried my face in my hands, taking deep, slow breaths over and over again, forcing my erratic heartbeat to return to normal, until my system calmed down.It had been a long time since I had a nightmare like that. They were distorted images of a past reality that tormented me for many years, which I was only able to get rid of after going to the
RYLEEHuddled in the backseat of the police car on the way home, with my mother and Scarlet sitting next to me and the tyrant in his luxury car right behind us, I was shaking from head to toe with the most intense dread. I could not believe that this was really happening, that I would be forced to live under the same roof as that demon, that my child would be taken from me as soon as it was born, to be raised by that man, evil himself.From the beginning, I knew that plan would go wrong, I just did not imagine that it would be up to me, that I would be the one to pay for those two's damn mistakes.Holy crap! I was really screwed! I would have my life ruined, my future destroyed, while they would return home unscathed from all the evil they had wrought. It was really bad luck on my part.Trying to argue would be futile, they both had complete control over me and they knew it. I would never be allowed to tell Athos the truth about how I got pregnant. If I tried, they would destroy me. B
Minutes later, Athos and I were sitting in the backseat of his chauffeur-driven luxury car, driving through the quiet, sunny streets of SaintClair City, with me perched on one end of the seat and him sprawled out on the other side.As seemed to be his habit, he fought fiercely with one of his employees over his cell phone. As he ended the call, he focused his attention on me, probing me, making me feel his weight, even though I did not turn my face to look back."Are you always this quiet?" he asked in a neutral tone of voice.“I have nothing to talk to you about,” I said as firmly as I could.— He hardly speaks, but he has a sharp tongue.“Only with people like you."People like me, how?" What do they denounce when they are sexually abused and victims of a scam?Finally, I turned to face him and felt that thud inside me that came over me whenever I met his icy gaze, fixing me with scrutiny, alerting me to how dangerous I was and, at the same time, waking me up. Something else reminde
RYLEE— Then call him and say he needs to authorize — I asked.“I can't do that either. But you can call. If he authorizes it, you leave.My blood boiling with rage, I pulled my cell phone out of my purse, only to realize I did not have the bastard's number. I asked security but he refused to give me one. However, the other man who was further along seemed more human and dictated the numbers to me."Thank you," I said and made the call, tense, startled. "What's this about you not letting me out?" I snapped, as soon as Athos answered the phone, his thick voice echoing on the other end of the line. “Keeping me trapped here was not part of our agreement. I want to leave. Get your security out of my way right now, or I'll call the police!" And where exactly do you want to go?" he asked, surprisingly calm.“Not that it is any of your business, but I have to work. It is almost my time and I still have to cycle to the cafeteria." You do not have to work on that muquifo anymore ." If you ne
" I-I ... it is... It is Wh-wh ..." I stumbled over the words, as if my mind was numbed by the sight of the man in front of me."Are you going to spend the whole night standing there, or are you going to tell me right away what you came to my room for?"His harsh tone roused me from my daze, and finally, the rage surged through my blood again, overriding everything I felt as I walked through that door.“I came to tell you that you are a filthy pig and you are sorely mistaken if you think you can take my job and keep me locked up in this damned house.“Oh, that's it.Calmly, as if I weren't there in front of him, breathing fire from his nostrils, he went to a hanger, from where he took another towel, and began to dry his hair."What do you mean, is that it?" The deal we made did not include you ruining my life and keeping me trapped here. I want my job back. You can call my boss and fix what you did! ’ he practically screamed.“Do not get so excited. It can harm the baby."As if a mons
ATHOSIt had been a week since I had seen Ryleena . We had both discovered the times the other was around the house – she going to and from school, me from work – and we avoided seeing each other. It was better that way, not just because I wanted to distance myself from a person capable of applying the blow to me. belly, but because it was the only way to control the unreasonable attraction I felt for this girl.I still could not believe I was about to lose my mind and take her in my arms when she broke into my room. A teenager who was still almost a child! When had I become this kind of man?Despite her age, Rylee had all the makings of a woman, she was beautiful, sexy, and was moving me in a way that I could not help it, try as I might. The pull he had on me was there, alive, undeniable. Avoiding meeting around the house was the best decision to be made, although it was not easy.If on the one hand I did not want to see her; on the other hand, he spent the whole day worrying about t
