LIAMPffffffff!"What is wrong with this girl?""Isn't she aware I have a lot of things on my mind right now?""She can't be fainting anyhow. I am too busy for all this," I muttered as I strolled to the hospital ward.I was told to get food for her in case she woke up.The Doctor claims she will be so famished when she wakes up.I wonder what is wrong with her now.The last time was a wild stunt to get Olivia's attention.Now who knows if this is just to get me to sit down with her rather than be with Elliot?She had been suspecting I and Elliot were dealing with something secretly.I know how much she would want to be hinted about it but I made sure not to let out a word.I got to the ward and I met her wide awake, caressing her belly.What was wrong?I imagined.It dawned on me that I hadn't spoken a word since I got in.I just stood there, looking at her.The nurses seemed to be so focused on her.I wonder why that was so if it was only a slump and faint case."What is all this?""
STELLA"What's going on?""Why does my head feel so heavy?"I looked around and I felt like the whole building was upside down.Blurry visions, headaches, and all sorts.All at once I rent my head like they own it."Ma'am, you would have to be coming on the scheduled appointment to see the doctor," the nurse who stood beside my bed, said.I was still puzzled by the whole thing.Am I pregnant?Does he know?How would he take all of this?I need to make a call.Can I make a call? It's quite important," I said to the nurse who was in the room with me.Just before that, he walked in."Hey Liam, you are here," I greeted."What is this trash I am hearing, Stella? You are pregnant?""That wasn't the deal.""What are you saying? So what would happen to my baby?" "Oh come on. You are not a child. We both know I can't accept that kid from you. It can't be mine!" Liam responded in a loud tone.He paced around. The nurse walked out gently when she noticed the unsettling atmosphere in the room.I
Olivia's POVI don't know why I have to live this kind of life. For years I thought I would end up in a loving marriage but here I was, fighting for my life daily. I hated this life I was living but I felt I had to hang on. I couldn't just give up like that. For the past six years, I hoped, prayed and thought everything would be better by now but Liam only grew worse day by day. I groaned in pain as I searched around for my phone. I made sure I was as quiet as possible. I didn't want to give away my hiding spot. I have taken enough beating and insults for one day. As soon as I reached my phone, I dialled Stella's number as fast as I could, with my hands trembling. I squeezed the phone to my ears as though it would make her pick up the call earlier than normal. "Hey, what's up Olivia?" Her bright voice said from the other end of the phone. "Liam started again. He even hit me worse than the last time." I said, sobbing gently and I heard her sigh from the other end of the phone. I fe
Olivia's POVI sat still in the corner where I was as the basement door flew open. I could hear his footsteps as he descended the stairs, and turned on the light. I held my breath, silently praying he wouldn't find me but it wasn't answered. "There you are my little mouse." He said as he grabbed my feet and dragged me from underneath the stairs where I sat. I raised my hand in defence as he squatted before me. "You look all bruised."He saw my swollen ankle and shook his head. "A sprained ankle too. Let's get you to the hospital." He said with a sweet smile and I crawled back. "I promise, I won't raise my hands on you. I am sorry for hurting you, let me just take you to the hospital.""So you'll beat me up again after? I'd rather die from this pain than be treated and get beaten again." I said, crawling back under the stairs but he grabbed my waist and threw me over his shoulder before carrying me out of the basement. "Let go of me. Put me down." He didn't listen as he carried me in
Olivia's POVI couldn't quite register what happened after that but I felt someone lift me from the ground as I slowly lost consciousness. I hoped my child was okay as I slowly fell into total darkness. The next thing I knew was waking up with beeping sounds in the distance. I didn't know where I was or what was happening, I just knew I felt pain in my stomach. "Olivia, can you hear me?" I heard the doctor's voice slowly coming nearer and I fully opened my eyes. "How are you feeling?" She asked and I pointed to my stomach. "My… my… child." I managed to say and the look on her face told me everything I needed to know. I shook my head in denial as my whole world came crashing down. "I'm sorry Olivia, your fall affected the child and the child couldn't make it." She said to me and tears rolled down my eyes. This couldn't be happening. The slightest hope I had to hold on to was gone, again. "I told you about Liam, Olivia. If you've listened, maybe your child would still be alive now."
Olivia's POVAnd again, I woke up to sounds of beeping but this was more than a machine. I felt different tubes connected to my body and there was an oxygen mask on my face. "She's awake. Call the doctor." I heard a voice say and a few people in white rushed in. "Miss, are you feeling any pain?" The man asked me as he checked up on me. I slowly shook my head and he took the mask off my face. My breathing was slow and it took me a while to finally get used to breathing. It felt like I hadn't done it in years. "What happened?" I asked."You were hit by a car and you have been out for over two days." He explained to me and I looked at him, stunned. "A young man brought you here. He isn't here at the moment but he paid for all your medical bills."I looked around the room and just by the look, I could tell it was a VIP ward and would have been very expensive. "Since you are not feeling any pain and just went into a shock, you should be okay in two days and be ready to be discharged." H
ANDREW'S POV"I have indeed found a beautiful woman and I will do everything to keep her!""Who would have thought that I could find such a lovable person by accident?" I pondered.I might have been moved by her story but what I feel for her is way greater than pity.It's genuine and I know it. My heart longs for her already."Might as well take her out on a nice date next week. She would love that.""On the other hand, that might look like I am being too forward."Wait, let me just call her instead.No! no... What am I thinking? I should let her rest and focus.I don't want her to feel.....A knock on my office door put a halt to my thoughts."Come in," I said without even checking my camera to see who was there.It was my secretary, Susan."I'm sorry sir. The landline seems to be out of signal. I tried calling but it wasn’t going through....." "It's fine. Go on. What do you have for me?""Sherry Investments sent a representative earlier today sir. They are requesting a meeting rega
OLIVIA'S POV"Please, I beg of you! Please! Don't, please!"His eyes were blazing red as he approached me with the table knife in his right hand.I begged for my life as he got closer, holding the knife up high to stab me.His heart was stone cold and his frowny face made me realise I was already done for.He was going to take my life that very day and moment."No oooooo!!!" I screamed out of my sleep, my face covered with sweat as I panted heavily, trying to catch my breath.It was like a horror movie and I was about to be killed by the monster.The monster in my dream was Liam and he still haunts me.I can't seem to forget his beatings and how I ran from him around the house to save myself from being killed.Those scars are still there, physical and emotional. I am still traumatised by them.I looked around and I had to remind myself I was no longer in that house. I stared at the curtains and the beautiful light that pierced through the entirety of the room.I smiled and sighed. I
