Chapter 8.

Chapter 8.

We lost what?

I was pregnant?

I don't know about that,

I never had pregnancy symptoms.

“I have been waiting for the moment when you will get pregnant, little dove, but…”

He wiped the tears from his eyes.

Jessy!

No,

I can't let this go.

She killed my baby!

I couldn't help but break down in tears.

I know there are many ways to make Jessy regret this, but I don't want to avenge this by myself.

I must tell Fredrick what she did.

“Baby?”

He looked at me pitifully.

“I didn't fall off the stairs as the maid said,”

He compressed his brows.

“I was pushed.”

“What!”

He exclaimed, his thunderous voice echoing in the room.

“Tell me the idiot who pushed you and made us lose our baby!”

He thundered.

Fears grip me,

But I wouldn't just keep quiet.

“It was…”

Harris and Jessy entered the room at the same time.

“It was her.”

I pointed at Jessy in tears.

She freezes.

“Jessy?”

Fredrick turned towards them.

“How dare you!”

He sprang up, but Harris quickly blocked his way.

“Dad, what did Jessy do?”

Fredrick, who was trembling in anger, pulled Harris out of his way and slapped Jessy.

The slap was so loud that it echoed in the room,

And it didn't end up in a sound, she also fell on the floor.

“Dad!”

Harris screamed shockingly.

“You just slapped my wife.”

He pointed at Jessy.

“Yes, and if she doesn't leave my presence, I will pounce on her!”

He thundered.

Harris helped Jessy get up from the floor and told her to leave because he was right behind her.

After she had left the room, Harris asked his Dad again.

“Your wife dares to fight with my wife, causing us to lose our baby’s life!”

Harris glanced at me confused.

“You were pregnant?”

He asked me, but I ignored him.

He should talk to his father instead.

“Yes, she was. She didn't even know she was pregnant and before she could find out, that murderer you call a wife has done the worst!”

Fredrick is really upset about this, and the way he speaks scares me.

His voice is so deep and commanding,

And the more he yelled, the more it terrified me.

“Baby? Calm down.”

I called out to him.

He returned to the bed and wrapped his arms around me.

“Tell your wife to avoid me or else!”

Harris sighed deeply.

“Dad, you should have allowed Jessy to say what transpired between them.”

Excuse me?

What was that nonsense?

“Jessy can never start a fight, she doesn't even like to fight, talk more of injuring Blair and killing the baby.”

Oh, so it is I who loves to fight?

“Are you taking your wife’s side now?”

I gasped.

“If you are dumb, I think you aren't blind, right? Can't you see the injury on her? And Jessy isn't even injured which shows she overpowered Blair.”

His Dad snapped at him.

But instead of Harris accepting the fact that his wife was wrong, he kept defending her.

“That is the problem, Dad. If they really got into a fight, then Jessy should be injured too, but she isn't.”

“Are you saying my wife lied to her?”

“Yes. Blair doesn't like Jessy so…”

Wap!

He slapped Harris.

That was great!

Idiot,

He knew what Jessy did yet, he is trying to turn it against me.

“Get out of here, fool!”

Harris stormed out of the room holding his face and slammed the door angrily.

“So sorry about that, Little Dove,”

He hugged me tightly again.

“I am scared, baby.”

I cried out,

“Don't be scared, I am here to protect you, okay?”

I bobbed my head and sniffled.

***

When we returned home a few hours later, the house was so quiet as if there were no living things in it.

Fredrick carried me all the way to the room, laid me down on the bed, and covered me with the duvet.

He kissed me and was about to leave the room, but I held his hand.

“Where are you going?”

I asked him.

“To see if that foolish girl is still in my house.”

Wait,

He wants to send Jessy parking?

If he does, Harris will also leave,

And I won't be able to take out my revenge on them.

“Do not send her away, Baby.”

“But look at what she did to you, little dove. I hate her now, and I don't want to live in the same house with her.”

I can't give up,

Their staying here means a lot to me.

“If Jessy is leaving, then Harris will leave too, baby. And people will say a lot of bad things about us. They will point accusing fingers at me that I am trying to ruin this family.”

He sat down on the bed.

“But she went too far.”

“I know, and an apology can fix it. She should apologize to me tomorrow and I will forgive her. And for the baby, we can make another one, okay?”

He sighed deeply and buried his head in his hands.

“Dove,”

He sighed again.

“You should have allowed me to deal with her.”

“It is okay, Baby, just do as I say.”

At that moment, I realized how soft-hearted Fredrick is towards me even though he looked like he wasn't going to listen to me at first.

He loves me a lot, but I have no feelings for him yet.

Maybe in the future, I will fall for him, but not now.

All the things I do are just so he wouldn't suspect anything.

“Good night, my little dove, I love you so much.”

He planted a kiss on my lips and lay down beside me on the bed.

Sighs.

I feel so much pain in my body.

My head aches a lot,

And my lower abdomen also hurts me.

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that Jessy killed my baby.

Seriously, I can't forgive her for this.

She has double regrets now,

One is for cheating on me as my best friend, and the second is for killing my unborn baby.
