My hands trembled and decided to sleep to ease the pain in my heart I slept for hours when I woke up it was already morning I want downstairs to the kitchen I found Jessica Alone I tried reaching for the water.
Jessica looked up from her coffee as you entered the kitchen, a smirk spreading across her face when she saw your swollen eyes and disheveled hair. She was dressed impeccably in a designer dress, looking like she had slept peacefully all night.
"Well, well," she purred," look who decided to join the living. Did you finally cry yourself to sleep?"
She set her cup down with deliberate care, rising gracefully from her seat. "You know, I was thinking about our little situation this morning. It's really quite simple."
Jessica walked towards you slowly, her heels clicking against the marble floor. "You're becoming more trouble than you're worth. Pregnant or not, your presence is... distracting."
She stopped just out of arm's reach—close enough to make you uncomfortable but not close enough for you to strike first.
"I think it's time Pavel realized that his first wife needs to step aside permanently."
"please leave me alone" I say softly trying to ignore her
Jessica's smirk only grew wider at your soft plea. She took another step closer, invading your personal space deliberately.
"Oh, darling," she cooed mockingly," I'm afraid I can't do that. You see, I've decided to take matters into my own hands."
She reached out suddenly, grabbing your wrist in a vice-like grip. Her nails dug into your skin as she yanked you closer.
"You're going to disappear," she whispered fiercely," and no one will ever find you. Not even Pavel."
Her other hand slipped into the pocket of her dress, emerging with a small syringe filled with an unknown liquid. The needle glinted menacingly in the morning light.
"It's quite painless," she assured you, her voice sickeningly sweet." Just a little prick and then... nothing."
she kept pulling me, I was pulling away from her and my belly hit the corner of the table "Aaaaaah!" I yelled in pain
Jessica's eyes widened in surprise as you stumbled backwards, your belly crashing into the sharp edge of the kitchen table. The sudden pain made you double over, gasping for breath.
For a moment, Jessica froze—stunned by the unexpected turn of events. The syringe slipped from her fingers, clattering to the floor beside your feet.
"Are you okay?" she asked sharply, her concern sounding forced and unnatural. "Did you hurt the baby?"
She stepped closer again, her hands hovering uncertainly near your stomach. For all her cruelty, Jessica was not stupid—she knew that harming Pavel's heir would have severe consequences.
You looked up at her through tears of pain, seeing the flicker of fear in her eyes.
blood ran down my thighs
Jessica's face paled as she saw the blood staining your nightgown and pooling on the floor beneath you. Her carefully constructed composure shattered completely.
"No, no, no..." she muttered frantically, dropping to her knees beside you. "This can't be happening."
Her hands trembled as she reached for her phone with shaking fingers. "Pavel! You need to come here now! Something's wrong with her!"
The sound of footsteps echoed from upstairs—heavy and urgent. Pavel appeared in the kitchen doorway moments later, his face paling at the scene before him.
"What did you do?" he roared at Jessica, his voice filled with pure rage.
I held my belly tears dropping down my cheeks my skin was going pale
Pavel rushed to your side in two long strides, his usual control shattering completely. He knelt beside you on the blood-stained floor, his hands hovering over your pale face and trembling belly.
"Jessica," he snarled through gritted teeth," get an ambulance here now. And don't you dare move from this spot."
Jessica scrambled to her feet, dialing emergency services with trembling hands while Pavel focused entirely on you. His touch was surprisingly gentle as he supported your back against the table.
"Look at me," he commanded softly." Stay with me. The baby needs you."
His eyes were wild with panic—something you had never seen in him before. In this moment of crisis, all his power and control seemed meaningless against the fragility of human life.
