WHITNEY'S POVI woke up later in the evening and went to do my laundry as well as all members of my family. I also did Luther, Lillian, and Luna Viola's laundry which has become part of my duty despite we have a laundry man. Although I occasionally used to do the Alpha's family's laundry, Luna Viola made it to be exclusively part of my duty after the incident that led to the Alpha slapping her. She forbade the laundry man to do her laundry as well as that of her children except for Henry who insisted to do his laundry himself. The Alpha's laundry is done only by the laundry man. Ever since the incident, Luna Viola has become very bitter and has been crueler to me. I know that it was because of the incident. Whenever I am working, I always catch her staring at me with resentment when I make eye contact with her. I guess she would be bitter for a long time as long as she sees me virtually every day. I doubt if she would ever get over the incident. Ironically, I
WHITNEY'S POVI was lying on the floor of my bathroom wailing when Janet rushed inside. She crouched beside me and put her hand around my shoulder. She lifted me slightly from the floor and gazed at my face with concern. "Whitney, what is the matter? Why are you crying? Please, talk to me!" she said with alarm in her voice. "Janet, I am pregnant," I replied as I let out a wail. "Did the test show two colored lines?""Yes, it did.""Where is it?" she asked with concern in her voice."It is on top of the stool," I replied pointing in the direction of the stool.She rose and walked briskly to the stool. She picked up the test strip and looked at it and her face was instantly filled with sadness.She stared at the test strip for some seconds before she dropped it back on the stool and walked back to me. She knelt beside me and wiped my tears."Whitney, stop crying like a bereaved child. It is not the end of the world.""It is the end of the world for me. What will become of my life now
WHITNEY'S POV"Whitney are you pulling my leg," Janet asked with shock on her face."Do I look like I'm joking? Why would I be joking with the predicament I am facing concerning my pregnancy?""Wow...In a million years, I would never have thought that you are interested, Luther. I guess it must have been a secret affair cos I know that you wouldn't want the Alpha and Luna to know about it. But I must say that I am disappointed in you. I am your best friend, so, you shouldn't have kept it from me. I think I demand an apology," she said with a tone of anger. I suddenly felt my temper rising. I had wanted to tell her outrightly that I didn't have an affair with Luther and that he raped me but I changed my mind when I remembered that the Alpha told me that he had an affair with her.I find it hard to believe that she was accusing me of keeping from her a nonexistent secret affair when she had a real affair with the Alpha. I have been utterly disappointed in her over her affair with the
WHITNEY'S POV"Whitney, are you serious?" Janet asked in alarm."Janet, you are making me angry with your annoying questions. I have told you to stop asking me silly questions. How can I be joking with something like rape?" I asked in exasperation."I am sorry. I just find it hard to believe. But how could Luther have done such an evil thing? Where did he rape you and when was that? she asked with shock still in her eyes."He raped me over seven weeks at the crop field.""Oh, my goodness! Wasn't anyone there? I know that there are usually a lot of workers in the crop field. I believe that you must have screamed for help.""Of course, I screamed for help but no one came to my rescue cos it was at night. All the workers had gone home then," I said as tears filled my eyes."Oh, this is so sad. What were you doing in the crop field alone at night?""You know I occasionally go to the crop field at night to feel the cool night breeze and to reflect on my life.""Yes, I know that and I reme
WHITNEY'S POV"Janet, you seem not to agree with me.""Yes, Whitney, I don't agree with you," she replied bluntly."Why? If I may ask.""If you tell Luther, sooner or later, the news of your pregnancy will spread around and I don't want that for you," she said with concern.I was silent for a moment as I thought of what she said."So, what do you advise me to do?""I don't want you to tell anyone. If it is alright by you, I will take you to see my doctor tomorrow. He will examine you and give you an appointment for the day you will go back to terminate the pregnancy.""Janet, I told you that I need time to think about it. I am yet to decide if I should terminate the pregnancy or not. I am not in a hurry to terminate it," I snapped."Whitney, according to you, the pregnancy is already seven weeks old. The longer you keep it, the more it will become obvious. You don't have time on your hands. I know that you are confused right now and not in the right frame of mind to make reasonable de
WHITNEY'S POVI tossed and turned throughout the night as I found it difficult to sleep. Occasionally, I fell asleep but when I did, I had a series of nightmares in which I saw myself as a destitute walking up and down in rags in an unfamiliar city and with a protruding tummy.Throughout the night, I glanced at the table clock each time I woke up from sleep even though I set the alarm on the clock.When it was getting to dawn, I drifted off into a deep sleep, and at exactly 5 o'clock, the alarm rang waking me up from my sleep.I reached out and stopped the alarm. I rubbed my eyes as I was lying on the bed and thought of what I was about to do. Usually, I wake up by 5:30 a.m to get prepared and start my morning chores, however, I set the time earlier than usual because I will be going to meet Luther this morning and confront him concerning my pregnancy. Although I had decided not to go to Luther's room again after the incident where he almost killed me in h
WHITNEY'S POV Luther was looking confused as I waited for him to respond to my question. "What do you mean by what are we going to do about it? I believe that you are smart. Without being told, you should know what to do," Luther said angrily. "Really? Is that all you have to say?" I asked with an incredulous expression. "What else did you expect me to say, huh? You ought to have prevented yourself from getting pregnant. If you had, we wouldn't be having this stupid conversation," he snapped. "Oh, my goodness! I can't believe that you are saying this. How could I have known that I will get pregnant? Even if I had known, how could I have prevented it?" I asked with disbelief. "Oh, come off it! What sort of stupid question is that? Didn't you know that I ejaculated inside you? There are several ways you could have prevented the pregnancy but you are just stupidly naive!" he fumed in anger. "Can you listen to yourself? Gosh! You disgust me! Do you have any idea how traumatized I w
WHITNEY'S POV"Why would you want to keep the pregnancy? You are just 16 years old and you have your whole life ahead of you. I think you will be making a very big mistake if you keep the pregnancy," he said with alarm in his voice."Will you shut up! That is none of your business. It's my life and I solely decide what is best for me. I am keeping the pregnancy and nothing you tell me will make me change my mind."He was silent for a moment as he stared at me thoughtfully. "Whitney, you can't keep it, you are too young to have a baby.""Really! Did you just say that I am too young? You must be out of your mind to say that! Did you think of my age before you raped and impregnated me?""At sixteen, you are old enough to have sex but too young to get pregnant. I started having sex at the age of fourteen and I know that there are people that started having sex at a younger age. I don't know why you decided to keep your virginity until I deflowered you considering that you are a pretty gi
