Chapter 10
My eyes flickered open and I awoke to a much louder noise than the one around me. My head was ringing loudly and I didn’t know what was going on. I tried to remember what happened and how I got to where I was. W anyway?
I got up from the bed and looked around slowly, all I could see was busy women with half smiles and half scowls going back and forth with notepads and pens while the others laid down, either asleep, injured or even dead!!
A hospital?! How the hell did I end up in a hospital?
It all came rushing back. Aston pounding into a girl and spilling his load all over her, buttoning his shirt, his grin and the sound of the slam of the door.
I flinched.
Just how long was 1 gone? Did Aston find me and bring me here? Perhaps he wasn’t the monster he pretended to be after all. Maybe he still had some good in him and he was only just pretending.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
I looked to see a nurse beside me staring at the liquid that was currently going through my veins and doing who knows what.
“How did I get here?” were the first words that slipped out of my mouth because it was what I was most curious about. I already knew that the lack of meals was going to take its toll on me eventually, I just didn’t know that I was going to end where even is here?
up,
Oh crap! My baby! Is my baby okay?! I wrapped my hands around my stomach in panic not knowing whether to scream or
NOL
The nurse continued to stare down at me with zero pity and complete disgust just like the way everyone else in this godforsaken place stared at me.
“You fainted!” she finally spoke but I was already aware of that. “You’re pregnant too.” She said and I was aware of that too but i didn’t think it was a good idea that they knew.
I wondered how differently they were going to treat me now that they knew? Would they try to kill my baby? Would they try to take the baby away from me when it was born?
“Don’t think that your workload is going to reduce just because you’re pregnant.” She added sternly and I didn’t anything different. They were the devil’s spawn after all, what compassion could they possibly have?
expect
“I can’t believe you got pregnant as a f***g s**e? What kind of life do you intend for your child to live? Do you really have no thoughts? To be sleeping around while being a ** all at the same time? Since you have so much energy, you’re about to put it to good use because your Pele load is going to double for you to pay your bills here at the infirmary.” She added and I felt so insulted.
My baby was a thing of joy when I got pregnant. I did not sleep around as a **e. I had no intention whatsoever on becoming a s***e. How I became one was the most shocking thing that had ever happened in my life and I wanted to tell her all that but she was already walking away
In a few more minutes, she was back with another nurse and they continued to make fun of me for getting pregnant as if it was such a bad thing. “An underfed slave that still has the guts to bear another mouth to feed is the most disgusting thing that I’ve ever seen!”
“I bet she does even kitow who the father is! Poor child!” the other one spat, gossiping about me right in front of me.
“I know who the father is and I didn’t know that I was going to become a sl**ve while carrying a child!” I spoke up but it didn’t even seem like they were listening to me as they continued to chat away.
“My baby is not a shameful thing. I was grateful to have conceived and it was unfortunate that I somehow ended up here as a sl**e but my baby is not a thing for me to be ashamed of or be sad about. It’s the best thing to ever happen to me in years and I’m not ashamed of it.” I said again but I was still talking to myself. Trying to explain myself to them was a waste of time, they were all going to judge me anyway no matter what I said or did and that was completely understandable.
Another nurse stepped in probably to join in the gossip but at least she came bearing food. She was holding a big basket with several plates of food in it and she started to pass it around the ward one by one. When it got to me, I couldn’t be more grateful. Who knew losing consciousness and almost dying was all it took to get a plate of food around here. I guess I should. do it more often.
I dug into the food greedily without regard whatsoever for any of the people staring at me. I was just glad that I was finally going to feed my baby after so long. I didn’t care much about myself or dying but this baby that I was carrying was really my everything.
I was done in the twinkle of an eye and they all stared at me in astonishment. It was the fastest I’d ever eaten in my entire life. It was also the hungriest I had ever been in my entire life too. The thought that I had everything that I had ever wanted right within my reach and never really thought much of it made me a little sad.
I would appreciate it a lot better now that I knew how it felt to have it all taken away from me. “And you intend to bear a child?” a nurse said and they all burst out laughing. My skin crawled in shame. I was going to make them eat their words, all
of them.
I had done nothing to deserve the kind of mockery that they were according me but it wasn’t like there was anything that I could do about it. I couldn’t exactly fight them, they were free to say whatever they wanted, for now.
Just until I get out of this place. I didn’t know how but I knew that I was going to get out and I was going to put every single one of them that’d even wronged me in their f***g place. My eyelids felt heavy for now though so they could talk, they could say all the harsh things that they wanted while I took a quick nap.
My nap was indeed quick thanks to the nurses waking me up to inform me of the million tasks that I was going to have to perform to pay off my debts at the infirmary. It was a really long list for passing water through my veins and insults through my ears but I didn’t have much of a choice and I was really grateful for the food.
“The alpha is not going to be happy about your disappearance. heard a voice say and I looked up to see two guards that were probably here after looking for me everywhere.
“I don’t care if the Alpha is happy or not. I’m not happy either!” I said in my head as I trailed behind them like a puppy. 1 realized that I wouldn’t even know the way back if not for them since I didn’t even know how I got to the infirmary in the first place. The place was built like a f****g maze!
I was back in my cell and the gates clanked behind me. Now that I was finally alone, I felt like I could let out all the tears that I had been holding in. The embarrassment p**d at my skin like thorns.
The sound of their laughter. Was I really a fool for trying to keep my child? For thinking that I could protect my child? They didn’t know the whole story so I couldn’t trust their words. They had no idea the things that I went through for my baby so they had no right to judge me. Not one bit!
I cried myself to sleep. Again.
This time when I awoke, it was not to the harsh slaps of the nurses or the hard and stinging feel of their palm on my arm, it was the cold feel of water.
Water splashed down my body from my head and I was too shocked to even so scream.
“The alpha has sent for you.” The maid said with a smirk and strutted out while holding the bucket like a handbag. I was still in shock and I was also dripping wet. I was hoping for a shower but not like this. This was not yet shower that I wanted.
The b****h could have tapped me. She could have called out my name but she chose to be the f****g b***h that she was.
