Chapter 38
“And I’m f**king sorry for that, Leah,” he said.
“Why? Why did you do it, Xavier?
I loved you so much, so why did you do it?
Why did you sleep with Natasha?” I asked, my vulnerability seeping through my tone.
And I felt shitter than ever.
I so badly wanted to put the blame on somebody, and it all fell to him.
If I had not caught him f**king Natasha that day, I would have never gone to that club where I met Ethan.
And then maybe—just maybe I would not feel as much pain as I felt right now.
“There are some things that are better kept hidden, Leah,” he said darkly.
His voice did not leave any room for further questioning.
“Why are you not judging me, Xavier?
I got pregnant, and I’m sure you know clearly it’s not yours, so why are you not judging me?” I asked brokenly.
“Because I don’t blame you, Leah.
I never deserved you anyway.
I had already soiled myself with Natasha, so I don’t blame you one bit,” he whispered dejectedly and tremors broke through my body again, as I sobbed in his arms all over again.
Mourning for my f**ked up life and mourning the loss of my baby, till my eyes closed and I fell into slumber.
“I told you to hide the child Gina, you know what they’ll do if they find her,” a male voice said in anger.
“We are safe here, Riles, I have told you several times,” I heard my mother say in agitation.
I peeped through the corridor, they did not know that I was there.
I always hid there, my small body passing through the tiny hole that led to our kitchen as I listened to their conversation barely understanding anything.
I looked at the man, my father.
Wait! Why does his face look different, my father was…
“Leah, baby, what are you doing here?
You are supposed to be in bed,” he said softly. He moved towards me, picking my small body up in his hands as I wrapped my hands around his neck.
“Dad?” I called softly in hesitation, and he smiled at me, placing a warm kiss on my forehead while my Mother watched us in adoration.
“It’s time for bed, my angel,” he said walking towards my princess bedroom in our small house.
I frowned in confusion, dad?
But he was not my dad, my father did not look like that, neither was his name Riles.
But yet it sounded so familiar.
I opened my mouth to say something, and the scene immediately changed, and I was big again.
“That’s her! Catch her,” their voices rang through the darkness.
I ran tirelessly, my body already feeling weak but I could not stop running.
I heard them calling from behind me, their footsteps sounding louder as they got closer and closer to me.
I felt something slam into my head from behind making me trip and fall as the loud wail of a child echoed through the night.
I looked at my hands to see a small tiny baby wrapped in a cloth—his loud wails growing louder with every passing second.
“My baby, my baby,” I murmured, tears streaming down my face, as I brought him closer to my chest.
“I knew you’ll never leave me,” I cried, kissing his forehead, and watched with a smile as he finally settled down in my arms.
“There she is, bring her here,” a feminine voice said distracting me, and I turned to see I have been surrounded by them.
The women.
They gathered around me, with planks and stones in their hands.
“Take the child and k*ll it, a woman like her does not deserve to bear a child and worse, be a mother,”
