His Prosecutor, His Possession

The Baby Is Mine

Victoria Harper

I had one thing on my head

I was going to keep this baby

So I had to get Daniel to let me keep the baby and somehow stop him from getting those pictures out and stopping the support on my father’s medical bills

Sometimes I wonder why I was so unlucky with men. My fiancé is a huge abusive scum bag who I now have to spend my life with because he has something against me and the father of my child was my bully

But life doesn’t care if it’s unfair. I had to survive.

The campaign hall was packed. Lights everywhere, cameras flashing, people chanting Daniel’s name like he was some kind of saint.

He walked in with that fake smile he always wore when he wanted the world to adore him. His arm curled tight around my waist, pulling me close so everyone could see how “in love” we were.

“Smile wider,” he whispered through his teeth, gripping my waist harder. “The world loves a woman who looks madly in love with her man.”

So I smiled, even as my stomach twisted. To everyone else, we looked like the perfect couple. To me, it felt like being trapped in a cage.

He kissed my cheek, his fingers caressing my sides as the press snapped photo after photo. He knew exactly how to play the crowd—touching me, staring at me with fake obsession, whispering things in my ear that made me shiver for all the wrong reasons.

“You’re so lucky to have a man like him” someone from the crowd yelled and I did the only thing I knew how to.

Smile and wave and so did Daniel

If only they knew

When the campaign ended, we slipped backstage.

Immediately we were out of camera coverage, he dropped the act “So?” His voice was sharp now, no cameras around to soften him. “The abortion, Victoria. Did you book it?”

My lips parted, ready to beg, ready to somehow make him understand. But before I could say a word, his assistant rushed in, holding a pile of files.

“Sir, these need to be signed immediately.”

He followed her away. Before I even got to explain things to him. But I would make him listen

I’ll just go wait in his office. When he was done signing and through with his campaign he’d come there and I would explain to him

On my way to his office, I saw Malcolm outside. He was speaking to two large men dressed in black suits, their eyes hidden behind sun glasses.

When he noticed my presence. He gave me a smile and dismissed them, leaning against his car like he owned the place.

Why was he here?

His dark eyes locked on me, and my stomach did that thing again—the thing I hated.

“I thought I told you not to show your face again” I spoke to him through my teeth

He ignores my anger and smirked, gazing at me. “ Nice boyfriend you’ve got”

“Fiancé” I corrected, showing him my ring. I don’t even know why I did it because I wasn’t proud of him. I guess I wanted to show Malcolm that I wasn’t the ugly girl he was bullied and someone actually wanted me even if that wasn’t the case.

His smirk faded and his eyes fell to the ring. His jaw clenched and he looked away. “How does your fiancée feel about you being pregnant with my child”

“Why do you care? It isn’t your business” I said and turned around to walk away but he pulled me back by my waist, pressing me to his chest with his hands moving to my stomach.

He towered over me, bending to whisper to me. “You’re carrying my baby and whether you like it or not,everything you do is my business”

The warm breath from his mouth make the flesh around my ears and neck tingle reminding me how badly I needed a man’s touch

I found myself leaning in but I snapped out of it immediately and yanked myself away from his grasp

I rubbed my neck, pretending to be fine when my body was tingling with need.

He sighed, looking at me with a certain softness, I didn’t understand. “I spoke to the doctor, he told me about Daniel’s plans to make you abort my baby”

The way he kept calling the baby with possessiveness infuriated me because I wanted nothing to do with him.

“I can make him understand,” Malcolm said softly. “The baby is mine too, Victoria. You think I’ll just let you erase it like I don’t matter?”

His words cut straight into me.

“I don’t want your help.” I tried to push past him, but he stepped in front of me.

His voice dropped lower, rougher. “Look. You hate me, I get it. Don’t ruin our child’s life because of it. And you know damn well this child ties us together.”

Heat spread through my body before I could stop it. I hated the way he looked at me.

But he did have a point.

Maybe if I took him with me to explain to Daniel, he would make Daniel understand.

“Fine. You’ll help me explain to my fiancé why I should keep the baby and then we could work something out” I hated the idea and him even more but I had to think like a mother now.

We approached his office door, steadily hoping that Daniel wouldn’t embarrass me in front of Malcolm and just understand

“f**k yesss!!” My thoughts were interrupted by moans coming from Daniel’s office

“Faster!!! Uhhhh, yesss. Just like that, baby”

“You like that huh?? Yeah??” I heard a masculine voice I knew too well and then I heard a spank

Oh no!

God no.

My eyes stung and my legs shook as I stood in front of his door. I don’t know why I thought I should see it for myself but I pushed the door open before I changed my mind

And then my whole world stopped.
