You're My Lover?

Chapter Four

Freya's POV

I didn't understand what Ryder meant by what he said but it had been ringing in my mind since he said it and it made me wonder the reason why I actually was doing all of this. It was all because of Orion.

I turned to look at my baby who was busy squealing and laughing as Samantha fed him, making funny faces and other interesting things just to make him eat.

Even though life seems to be hard and everything seems to be going against me, the only reason I forced myself out was because of him. My baby Orion who I suffered a lot before I could get him.

Each time I remembered that night, it breaks my heart but the only positive thing I got from it was Orion.

* Flashback

I walked down the curb and suddenly I was dragged into an alley by the last set of people I wanted to see. I had just finished my night shift at the cafe and just wanted to go back home and eat all the leftovers I got from the cafe peacefully.

“If it isn't the poor brat.” The spiky haired guy in the group of four chuckled as I rolled om the ground, groaning in pain.

“Let's give her a better nickname, Spiky.” The black haired lady behind him said, placing her hand on his shoulder as she looked over at me. “Too bad we can't use her to gain some cash tonight.” Another voice said from behind but I couldn't see the person but I could only imagine they were the two other couple in their group.

They had been crossing me right from highschool and now that I had pended my college entrance, they only found more reason to bully me, since I was the poor girl in the school.

“W-what do you want from me?” I asked, sitting up, my back against the trash cart in the alleyway.

“I can practice my new tattoo skills on her.” Another masculine voice said from behind and the two girls cheered.

I didn't know what they were talking about but I knew it wasn't good at all. I tried to stand up and run but I was pulled to the ground by Spiky and the two girls started to pull off my work shirt.

I screamed and tried to kick but it was all useless. “Are you sure you can use your tools here? We could just take her to the bar and do it then use her for some good cash.” Spiky asked but the other guy just ignored him, pulling out something from the small box attached to the side of his leg.

I tossed and turned but I was secured to the ground by them. “I'd like it on her chest. She's quite busty and having one on her chest will only entice the men more. I have a feeling it's not that last time we'll be using her and we'll make some good cash.”

That was how I got the tattoo I regreted and after that, I was dragged off and dressed up by them before they forced something down by throat. The last true consciousness I had in my mind was gone and after that, I woke up in a room, still tipsy but I had the fuzzy feeling all over.

Then he entered. I have never felt so much pleasure I felt in my life that night but it came at the cost of what I have kept all these years for the one man that I'll spend the rest of my life with.

I tried everything I could to keep my pregnancy from my family once I realized I was pregnant but of course my nosy father made that impossible by always snooping around my room to get some money for drugs. He found my pregnancy supplements which I had forgotten home.

That day, he disowned me. My entire family did. Being into my second trimester, I no longer needing to hide my pregnancy and homeless. I was called for colleceyand I gathered every penny to complete my three years major, a son in hand and barely having anything to eat.

I turned back to look at the duo who were now done eating. I had gone through hell just for him and I would never let anyone take him from me, not even Ryder.

Once I gather enough money to sustain us and help me build something, I would leave the city again with him. “What a smart boy you've got.” Samantha laughed as she walked over to me with Orion who had laughed himself to drowsiness.

A small chuckle escaped my lips as I took him from her, kissing his forehead gently. “Let’s go to bed my star.” I headed towards the room, placing him in the crib with a kiss to his forehead and he just smiled before closing his eyes.

I've heard stories of troublesome kids but Orion had never been one. In fact, it was like he understood my predicament and never cried unnecessarily or make things hard for me. “I love you baby. And I promise, no one will take you away from me. I'll make sure I try everything in my power to keep you with me.” I promised, turning to leave the room and I saw Samantha at the door with a small smile on her face.

“You met him?” She asked and I nodded gently, closing the door behind me. “Did he recognize you?”

“No he doesn't.” I replied with a sigh. More of a sigh of relief. “I'm glad it's like that. I don't want anyone coming into my life and trying to take my sone away from me. I've go e through a lot to try to raise him on my own, Samantha. No one knows the pain I have gone through just trying to give him a better life.”

“I understand your feelings, Freya.” She patted my shoulders gently with a smile. “I do, but do you think hiding him from his father would help? Would it do anything? If I'm viewing it, it'll only help you more.”

“Help me more? I don't want anyone come to me and claiming rights over my son because he spent an amount of money on him. I would rather work my ass off and provide anything he wants for him and getting something for free from one I don't trust.”

“If you want to be mad at anyone, be made at those four. But you can't be for long since it gave you a gift and that's Orion.” Samantha said. “Think about it babe. Maybe you don't have to live a life like this and give Orion the life he deserves.”

I looked away as she said that. “There's no way he would be taken away from you because of everything surrounding their family. He's the next heir o

f the Russell family. He would need his mother by his side.”
