THE ICE PRINCE'S RUIN

PREGNANT AND JAILED

Evelyn's POV

“It's such a pity, the child would be taken from her.” I heard faint voices and something about a child as I struggled to open my eyes and understand where I was and how I got here.

Immediately I tried sitting up, the nurse rushed over to my side and smiled calmly. “Congratulations, you're two months pregnant.” She said with a wide smile but my face was far from being excited.

“Can I leave now?” I asked, refusing to dwell in their happiness. Yes they were happy but I wasn't. This is definitely Dylan's child and he'll probably never know that he's having a child with me.

“Yes but you need rest and__” the door opened and a female warden walked in. She yanked me off the bed and led me out of the room. “So tell me b***h, what's your f*****g diagnosis?” I contemplated lying to her but I know that's gonna bring more wrath to me.

“I'm pregnant.” I replied curtly and waited for her snide remark but she said nothing. I saw my bunkmate reading a winkled newspaper and when I walked closer,I saw the headline.

ICE HOCKEY PRINCE TO SHUT DOWN THE ARENA ON 12TH MAY

“Hey what are you staring at?” My bunkmate asked, popping her cigarette out of her mouth. “Ought to be careful around her.” Another lady said, laughing hysterically.

“Yeah,I heard she killed that man. A rich man!” My bunkmate spat vehemently as I closed my eyes and walked to my bed.

“Jonas! You have a visitor.” A female warden said as I walked to the door. She placed the handcuffs on my wrists and led me out to the visiting area where Nina sat with a huge bag on the table.

“Hey, how are you doing?” She asked and I forced a smile out before sitting. “You've got ten minutes!” The warden yelled but I just rolled my eyes.

“So tell me, how are you coping in there?” I shrugged but in all honesty,I was more interested in knowing how my parents were. “Did you drop by my house? What about my parents? Dylan?” I could see her battling mentally, probably wondering how to deliver the news to me.

“Your parents have left town.” I froze and looked into her eyes. They were sad. “What did you say?” I asked and she held my hands.

“You heard it right, Violet visited them and I really don't know why.” I frowned deeply. Violet and I have never been close, she'd never invited me to her parties or events so what did she want with my parents?

“I'm guessing they got scared and ran out of town.” I swallowed hard as a tough realization hit me. “Whoever framed me up wants me to live in isolation, this person must be a very close person to me.”

“Time is up.” The prison guard said as Nina stood up. “My parents stopped me from coming to see you but I'm not gonna stop,trust me.” She whispered and I felt tears threaten to come out.

I slipped a paper into her hand and she smiled before walking out. Inside the letter, she'll find out about my pregnancy and my wish for her to raise the child when it's born.

A week later, I'd just finished mopping my usual spot when three ladies walked past, soiling the floor with their shoes.

I felt my anger boiling,my eyes grew hot and my palms became sweaty.

“The least you could have done is try not to soil the floor,clean your shoes before coming in.” I said angrily and waited for them to turn around.

An evil smile danced on the face of the bigger lady as she looked at me from head to toe. “What did you just say?” She asked and I scoffed.

“You heard ___” the first punch hit my face and I fell to the floor with a loud thud. “That's what you get for trying to mess with us.” She screamed at me as the second lady kicked my stomach,hard enough for me to throw up blood.

I froze as I sat there, their voices sounded so distant like I was in a different world. I felt another painful jab in my stomach,then my head and before I knew what was happening, they were taking turns beating me up.

“Hey what's going on there?” I heard the voice of an officer and immediately they ran away.

“Oh my goodness, what happened?” I heard the doctor ask as I was carried into the clinic and placed on the bed.

The warden scoffed and walked over to the door. “Do your job doc, and stop asking questions.” She walked out while the doctor began tending to my injuries.

I must have slept off because when I woke up,I was fully bandaged, dressed in a clean clinic gown and I could hear the monitor beeping. My hands instinctively went to my stomach as if trying to shield it.

The doctor walked into the room and smiled at me. “Miss Jonas, you're awake.” She said and I forced a smile out.

“Tell me doctor Smith, how's my baby? I took a punch and kick to the stomach so__” her face dropped and her eyes could barely meet mine.

I tried to sit up immediately but an intense pain shot through my bones, forcing me to lay still on the bed.

“I'm sorry but you lost your baby.” Her voice came out shakily as I froze.

“What? You must be mistaken,my child __” I touched my stomach again, trying to reassure myself that I was dreaming or that she was mistaken but the painful reality stared back at me.

“I couldn't meet my child.” I whispered as tears welled up in my eyes. “I couldn't know the s*x of my child!” I choked on my words as Doctor Smith walked closer to me.

“You should inform the father.” She whispered but it only raked out a dry laugh from me.

“The father is dead, never to be mentioned again.” I whispered coldly.
