Griselda POV
“Oh my god”, The words tumbled through my lips, as I stared at the tests in horror.
They all held a positive sign, and my hands flew to my stomach, cradling it protectively. Tears blurred my vision, which made me hard to see. But hell, I didn”t care, there was a living tiny human inside me and I was beyond happy, as I wiped away my tears. The door flew open and Sophia came in hesitantly through it.
Her eyes stayed glued on the tests as she made her way up to me. Placing the tests on her opened palms, I bit my lip, gauging at her reaction. Eyes widening in what seemed like shock, she stared at the tests with her mouth open. Her hands flew to her lips, and she glanced at me, with her eyes shining tears.
“You”re pregnant”, She whispered, wiping away her tears.
“Oh my god, you”re really pregnant”, Squealing, she pulled me into a hug.
Her hands curved around my waist as she hugged me tightly. Her sweet lavender scent instantly hitting my nostrils. Inhaling deeply, I wounded my own arms around her slim waist and leaned my head on her shoulder. Her excited squeal filled the bathroom, as she bounced up and down.
“I am going to be an aunt”, Throwing her arms up in the air, she did a weird dance which made me laugh.
“Oh my god, you have to tell Arcado”, Grasping my arm, she pulled me out of the bathroom.
“How are you going to tell him? Oh maybe we should do a surprise for him”, She suggested jumping up and down enthusiastically.
Swallowing the lump in my throat, I forced my eyes to move away from hers. Truth be told, I was still unsure if I was really pregnant, and what if Arcado told me to abort the baby? I couldn”t kill my own child. But I knew Arcado wouldn”t do that, he would love the baby no matter what.
“Don”t worry, he”ll be so happy, when we tell him the news”, She murmured gently, giving me a small smile.
Nodding my head, I placed my hands on my stomach and stroked it softly. My stomach was still flat and I couldn”t wait when it got bigger so I could feel the baby kick and move. Those were the special moments between a mother and her baby. My only wish for this baby is to grow up with a world filled with so much love.
A phone ringing made my eyes snap towards my pocket. Placing my hands inside it, I felt the phone vibrate and pulled it out, Arcado”s face instantly tugged a huge grin on my lips and I instinctively answered without a second thought.
“I missed you”, His deep voice, hit my ears and my body tingled all over.
“Me too”, I spoke softly, tears pooling my eyes once again.
“I am going to my room”, I mouthed to Sophia and made my way outside of her bedroom.
“Being away from you is killing me, Mi Amore”, He groaned.
“Trust me, it”s been making me insane too”, Sighing, I yanked the door open, and strolled into our bedroom.
“What are you doing?”, I asked him curiously.
“Signing a few documents”, A paper rustling was heard through the phone.
Humming, I laid on the bed, and his scent hit me, making me miss his warmth even more. My hand laid itself on my flat stomach and I let out a small smile. I didn”t know how to tell Arcado, but I would figure that out later, right now I just wanted to enjoy talking to him.
“A week seems so long”, He complained and I imagined him pouting adorably.
A giggle bubbled within me, and I snuggled deeper into my pillow, his soft breathing lulling me. A yawn fell through my lips and I heard Arcado sigh exhaustedly. I wished I could be there with him so I could snuggle into his embrace.
“I”ll let you, get some rest Mi Amore”, His voice came out like a gentle caress.
“Okay”, I mumbled.
“I love you”, He whispered, his breathing soft.
“I love you”, I murmured and the phone fell from my fingers as my eyes closed, sleep taking over my mind and body.
Opening my eyes, my hazy vision cleared and our room came into view. Everything was just as it was left. The room was dark now considering it was seven thirty PM. Stretching out my limbs, I stood up and strided to the bathroom. Turning the lights on, my eyes gazed into my own reflection.
I seemed to gain more weight, as my breasts looked more fuller and rounder. My hips were kind of wider and as I turned to my side, I could see a small barely there bump. My eyes glinted under the light, shining with pure happiness that made my heart swell.
Stripping out of my clothes, I turned on the water while getting ready to shower. My shoulders relaxed as the warm water hit my bare skin. After I was done washing my body and hair, I stayed in the warm water for a few minutes before getting out.
Wrapping a towel around me, I closed the bathroom door and made my way over to the closet. Pulling out a simple red dress and undergarments, I quickly dressed and closed the door behind me. My skin prickled as goosebumps rose all around my legs and arms.
Fear gripped me tightly never letting go and I felt like I was drowning, I could feel eyes on me and I was scared to turn around. Shaking with fear, my hands gripped my dress tightly as I slowly swiveled around.
“Miss me baby?”.

Griselda
Fear, panic, and anxiety all rolled into one as they crawled towards my mind and body. How can a person escape from their cruel past when it”s already in front of them? I was beyond shocked as I stared at his dark emotionless eyes that seemed to glisten with hatred under the moonlit light. He stalked towards me with determination, and I wanted to scream for him to stop, but my mouth wouldn”t cooperate with me as I stood frozen.
“I definitely missed you baby”, His voice turned husky.
A whimper fell from my lips, as his cold hands stroked my cheeks, a moment later a slap was heard around the silent room. My hands cradled my burning cheeks as the tears of agony tumbled down and my heart thrashed around in my chest, wanting to escape this harsh world.
“Why did you run away, you slut?”, He whispered in my ears, breathing turning ragged.
A scream bubbled its way onto my throat, as he yanked my hair back causing my neck to snap awkwardly. The burning sensation I felt was nothing compared to the burning in my heart. He threw me on the ground harshly, and kicked my legs, opening them for his eyes to feast on.
“If you didn”t escape, you wouldn”t get this punishment”, He knelt down on the ground and looked into my eyes.
“Now you deserve every beating I give you”, He got a knife out of his pocket, scratching my arms in the process.
“Please, please don”t do this”, I cried out clutching my stomach tightly.
No matter what happens to me, I couldn”t let my baby die, I could endure any beating and the words of shame thrown at me, but if anything were to happen to this innocent baby, I couldn”t live with my self. My hands hugged over my small form, as he continued to torture me while yelling curses my way.
“Please stop”, I gasped as his grimy hands slipped through my panties.
“You deserve this”, He hissed, yanking his pants down.
A bile rose in my throat, as he entered me in one swift movement. Groaning, he whispered cruel words in my ears and tears of pain fell through my eyes like a waterfall. I didn”t dare to make a sound because I knew it would pleasure him if I did. But I just prayed to god for this to be over soon.
With a groan, he came inside me just as the sound of the door opening came through the room. My eyes closed in shame as I heard a shout and in one swift movement I was sitting upright, with Kulah”s hands on either side of my hips.
“What the hell are you doing Kulah?”, I heard Sophia screech.
“Well, hello there old friend”, He chuckled pulling my body closer to him.
“No, Sophia don”t come any closer”, I pleaded her as she began to make her way inside.
Her eyes flickered over to me and once I saw the pain in her eyes. My heart constricted, tears built up in my eyes as I gave her a watery smile. My hands wounded around my stomach protecting the innocent baby inside me.
“Arcado is on his way”, She mouthed discreetly and relief washed through me.
Nodding my head, I focused my eyes on Kulah as he paced around the room in a calming manner. A gun was in his hands and panic settled inside me as I saw the evil grin he held on his lips. Suddenly turning around, he strolled over to me and pulled me roughly causing me to bump my head on his chest.
“Tell me, who should I kill first, you or your friend?”, His disgusting voice vibrated through my body.
“You don”t have to do this”, I begged him.
“Oh but I do baby”, He grinned and rose the gun towards Sophia.
My heartbeat sped up as I stared at her, she gave me a small assuring smile and closed her eyes as peace washed over her face. My eyes widened as Kulah loaded the gun and stalked over to her. This couldn”t be happening, I had to do something. My eyes looked all over the room and when I came up with nothing, my throat closed up.
My legs worked over in their own accord as they took me to Kulah. Quickly getting into action, I tackled him to the ground putting all my weight. I flinched when my legs hit the drawer above me. A pair of shoes came into my vision, and a hand landed on my cheek.
A hand jerked me up right, Kulah”s face was red with so much anger. The gun was in his right hand and my breath hitched in my throat when he placed it under my chin. His eyes shrined with so much hatred that made my head spin with fear.
“Kulah, come to your senses”, Sophia slowly walked up to him.
He slowly turned his head towards her, and I took the chance to get the gun away from his hands. But just as my hand touched the tip of it, he swiveled around and a shot was heard. My widened eyes stared at Sophia in shock, as her own widened in horror.
“Griselda”, She yelped and ran towards me.
My eyebrows furrowed and I looked down, all I saw was blood. It was gushing from my stomach yet I didn”t feel any pain. Tears blurred my vision as I tried to stop it by placing my hands on my stomach. .
Commotion was heard outside and just as my legs hit the ground, soft hands caught me and his beautiful face came into view. His face had tears on it and I tried to wipe them away, but my hands didn”t move, instead they stood frozen on my stomach.
“I am okay”, I whispered, my voice hoarse.
“Griselda, stay with me, don”t you dare close your eyes”, His hands came up to stroke my cheeks.
“I am so so sorry for not coming earlier, but please please don”t close your eyes keep them open for me Mi Amore”, His voice cracked.
“It”s not your fault”, I smiled at him.
Black dots made me hard to see and I blinked, his face grew distant and so did his voice. My hands finally came up to wipe his tears away and I smiled at him. Taking a deep breath, the black dots began to disappear and his face became clear.
“I love you, don”t you ever forget that”, My voice came out soft and my hands dropped to my sides as peace washed over me and my eyes closed.
I am so sorry my baby, I couldn”t save you too.
