" Abort the bustard" that were his words before he left the room and I knew I couldn't question him in front of the nurse if I wanted a chance to beg him, to make him understand he couldn’t do this, for me to at least know why and by the look on the doctors face she was as confused as me, and I didn’t have time to say anything to her or even explain anything to her, it’s usually a good thing to find out the queen is fertile, and there is a celebration for it, especially in the kingdom it usually meant the heir it’s in the way, but they didn’t mind even if it’s a princess, the ceremony was actually for the community as their king thanks them for their support and those who were pregnant at the same time usually also got pampered, and others believed they were going to married to royalty but that was an ancient rule, hence the choosing started
I ran after Samuel leaving the shocked nurse by the door and I found him in the small kitchenette we had in our apartment, he was pouring himself a glass of scotch anger written all over his face, eyes blood shot, but I still didn’t understand what has made him so angry upon hearing the words, it was our child with made with so much love, at least I knew I did
"My husband” I said kneeling in front of him, I hoping he will understand my point of view, hoping he will see where I was coming from as a mother to be, and he would tell me the reason why he uttered those ugly words, why he was so angry upon hearing that we are going to have a child
"Please I'm sorry for whatever you think I did, but please don't kill our child I beg you, I will do anything you want me to do, I will lick whatever you want me to, but please don't do this to me, I beg you to please to reconsider your decision" I begged him as tears poured out my eyes hoping at least he will reconsider but I was wrong, the moment I finished talking a felt his feet in my stomach, and a scream left my lips, and that’s when I realised he kicked me, his hand went to my hair pulling and my face that was cast to floor lifted only for him to spit on my face
"Your begging does nothing to me and don't you dare call that bustard mine again and I want it out of you by the end of the day or I will kill you both myself" he spat before turning to leave although I was in so much pain I still pulled his legs begging him to reconsider
"Please Sam, you can do anything to me, but please don't kill my baby, don't make me do this, I rather you send me away back to my parents house and divorce me than make me kill my first child" I shouldn't have said that because it made him angrier than I have seen him in my life as his hand connected with my face making me fall into the cabinet door and he kicked my stomach again and again yelling profanities, calling me a w***e, cheap slut and he will never give me the satisfaction of a divorce until I felt the pain I made him go through and when he was done he pulled my hair making me face him, by that time I was in so much pain all I wanted to do was to die, to sleep and never wake up, and I already knew that my baby was not going to survive such torment, such pain an cruelty coming from his own father, the person I called my husband
"I will never divorce you, you going to be my wife forever, I'm going to make sure you suffer for your entire life and watch me love and f**k someone who is not you, I will never let anybody in this world take me for a fool, and now my dear wife you are going to pay for taking me as a fool" he spat and let me go as I spit blood on the floor my stomach cramping, and soon as the door closed the doctor ran to me but I didn't hear a word she was saying as his words rang in my head over and over again as I saw black dots dancing in my view the pain disappearing, and I allowed darkness to consume me and I let it wrap around me as a comfort blanket because I knew from the pain I was going to lose my baby and my husband killed us, killed my sanity, killed my will to live and he killed my happiness! I didn’t know know what’s to come next but I knew one thing, I didn’t want to wake up from this horrible dream that is my life
