“Why?” I asked, trying my best to break away from him but failing. I was ashamed and annoyed. I gritted my teeth and roared, “Why? We are already divorced. Who are you to say that? Why are you doing this to me? Why force me to give you a child? Xavier, you are violating me! I will sue you!” Xavier let go and looked at me, his face was expressionless, “If you can walk out of this door, you’re welcome to sue me anytime.” He walked away. I chased after him and two men in black stopped me at the door. That’s when I realized that I was under house arrest. I thought about how they were just standing outside the room the entire time and heard us, Xavier has indeed gone crazy. After that, I started my days under house arrest. He comes here everyday. Sometimes during the day, sometimes at night, sometimes just once, and sometimes many times. He is still as strong and domineering as always, unquestionable, and every time felt like he will be the dea
This time, it took Xavier three times before letting me go. At the end, we were both panting. In the past, Xavier would leave when he was done with me. No matter how late he was, he would not stay overnight. But tonight, he stayed and drank alcohol until he passed out. He was lying in bed, his eyes closed as he kept muttering, “Child, child, give me a child…” I was sitting curled up against the wall, listening to his soft voice. I felt very uncomfortable. I didn\'t know he was so obsessed with having a child. I suddenly thought about the baby I have lost, and pain swept through me. “Xavier,” I called out his name softly, but he didn\'t budge even after three calls. I concluded that he was asleep, so I took his hand and stroked it on my stomach. “There really was a child here. If he was still alive, I would’ve been pregnant for more than three months now.” I sighed and said helplessly, “I don\'t know why you regret it. But I’m afra
When I arrived, the bride and groom had just finished exchanging rings. I stood silently at the end of the red carpet, watching their happiness on the stage. Tears started streaming down my face. I got pregnant for the first time and witnessed their strong reunion. I was pregnant for the second time and witnessed their romantic wedding. What an irony. I’ve just had enough of this shit that I couldn’t stop my tears from falling. I was about to leave when I saw his assistant approached him on stage and whispered something. I must’ve been reported to have escaped from the villa. I instinctively turned around to run, but at this moment, a guest recognized me. “Yasmin, why are you here?” The man\'s voice was very loud and it attracted everyone\'s attention. Then, I saw the handsome man in a groom\'s suit cutting his way through the crowd and running toward me. He was on the end of the red carpet and I was on the oppos
I was put under house arrest again. As I was being taken back to the villa, Xavier spoke to his bodyguard, “Don\'t let her go out, even if she threatens to kill herself again. She can die for me too.” I heard everything, but I didn\'t feel anything. Perhaps my heart had already stopped beating and all that was alive was just a body. My life was no different from before, except for my diet. Two bodyguards guarded me, two nannies took care of me, and two doctors and nurses were on standby at any time to check on me every other week. Autumn went to spring, and in a flash of half a year, I was pregnant for more than seven months and my belly has gotten quite big. Today, after the checkup, I was basking in the sun out on the balcony on the second floor, doing some wool work with my hands. I was taught how to knit by the nanny. I was against it at first, but later, as the months passed by and the baby’s kicks has gotten stronge
I was still sleeping when Rachelle came to visit me. When I opened my eyes, I saw that all the clothes I have knitted were thrown on the ground, covered with black ink. “Are you crazy?” I stood up and rushed to hit her. These were all the gifts I was going to give my child, destroying it was more painful than humiliating me. “You are thinking about something that does not belong to you,” Rachelle pushed me hard, and I fell back on the bed. She fiercely looked at me in a condescending manner, “Yasmin, do you know why Xavier suddenly wanted you to have a child?” Her eyes were too cold and my heart trembled in fear, but I gritted my teeth and said, “He regrets it. He loves me. A poisonous wench like you will eventually show her true colors sooner or later and he will leave you.” “Oh, really?” Rachelle scoffed, a faint smile in her eyes. “I’ll tell you honestly. The truth is, I can\'t give birth, but Xavier will let you give birth to
I bumped my stomach on the stairs. The heart-wrenching pain hit my entire body and it made me want to wish I was dead. When we finally landed on the bottom of the stairs, Rachelle fell completely on my body and pressed her elbow heavily on my stomach. I screamed as I felt my lower abdomen constrict, then I felt a warm gush of fluid between my legs. I was fighting unconsciousness when I seemed to have heard Xavier\'s voice call my name. I lay down in a pool of blood with my hands on the ground. I instinctively flinched, “Don\'t save me, I don\'t want to see a doctor. I don\'t want to have children even if I die.” “Yasmin, don\'t be selfish,” Xavier said as he hugged me. Gritting his teeth, he screamed, “I’m telling you, if you die, then your parents and grandmother won\'t be able to survive!” Even when I was dying, he still had the guts to threaten me and make me feel guilty. “I can’t take it anymore…” I closed my eyes wea
I have never been as horrified as I was now. The bloody knife in my hand was like a deadly poison seeping through my skin. Xavier\'s eyes widened in astonishment, his handsome face stricken with disbelief, “Yasmin, you…” “It’s not me. It\'s really not me…” I suddenly let go and the fruit knife fell to the ground with a thud. I kept shaking my blood-soaked hands and said defensively, “It\'s her. She did this to herself. She held my hand and stabbed herself, she…” “How do you expect me to trust you?” Xavier looked at me like I was a madman. His face was full of distress, “Rachelle just said that taking the child away was too cruel and asked me to return the child to you, and you stabbed her in return? How can I trust you?” I was dumbfounded. I turned my head abruptly and glared angrily at this double-faced wench, “Bitch, what do you want from me? Haven’t you hurt me enough?” “I\'m lying down here, what could I have possibly
I regained consciousness and found myself in a hospital ward. I was wrapped in a hospital gown and my whole body was aching. It felt like I had just been ran over with a wheel. I moved and struggled to get up, but suddenly, I heard a man\'s voice, “Miss, are you awake?” I raised my eyes in a daze and saw this strange man smiling apologetically at me. “Miss, it was my car that hit you, I…” he stammered. I was stunned and the memory before the accident came flooding through my mind. Rachelle forced me to stab her and Xavier threatened to send me to jail after. In a hurry, I then escaped the hospital dehydrated and famished. As I was walking, I felt really dizzy and was probably hit by the car then... At that moment, when I thought I was dying and was falling unconscious, I remembered seeing Xavier faintly, he was waving at me with our baby in his arms. But seeing that he wasn’t here, I must have been delirious. He
