Euthalia's pov
"How dare you hide the fact that you are pregnant." Alfredo said calmly but I knew he was angry at me.
"I swear, I didn't mean to do so, I wanted to show you but then you forced yourself on me."
"You won't use such word as forced, you are my wife and I can do whatever I want with you."
I wondered how such a man could be this heartless to someone he called his wife. It seemed like all powerful men always have what they want.
"I have no time to watch your fake tears. I'll get the doctor and he'll proceed to taking out that thing I your womb."
"This is your child, your blood. It's not just a piece of trash. If you never wanted kids then you shouldn't have had sex with me." I shouted back at him.
How could he decide that I terminate the pregnancy? What devil was he that he couldn't spare the life of an unborn child.
The doctor walks in and bows his head as soon as he got to where Alfredo was standing.
"I don't believe this child belongs to me, run some test."
"It's not just a child but three children Mr Alfredo. I thought you'll be happy when you find out that your wife is pregnant."
"I told you what to do, I'm yet to get the result and not the rubbish you're spilling from your mouth or do you want to lose your job?" Alfredo asked.
"No sir, I'll get the test done right away." The doctor said and left.
"Let it be that those children don't belong to me." Alfredo said and the next moment his hands were on my neck pressing my next soo hard that I couldn't breathe.
"P…please, you're hurting me"
"And I'll do worst than this. You are the daughter of my mother's killer. Do you think I'll go easy on you?"
I was still trying to detach his hand from my neck before he eventually kills me. I wasn't ready to die yet.
"Please… Don't kill me neither my child. You can divorce me and send me out of your house."
"Let you go? Nahh. Tha will be the last thing I'll be doing. I'm going to kill your bit by bit till you wish you never existed." Alfredo said and let go of me as soon as the doctor stepped in.
"Here are the results Mr Alfredo." He handed the file to him and watched him flip through the pages.
"The results shows that you are the father of t the of children she is carrying."
"But I don't want this thing to carry my children isn't they a way you can take them out of her?"
"We can't. The children need her to survive and she can die in the process." The doctor said.
"It's fine, I want her alive so I'll let the children survive."
"Thank you." I said subconsciously.
"Don't thank me yet."
"You may leave now." He said to the doctor.
"Yea Mr Alfredo." The doctor bowed again before stepping out of the room.
"You're soo lucky that you are not carrying another man child, you would have been dead together with him because I don't like people touching what belongs to me."
"The way you treat me, do I actually mean anything to you?" I asked with tears in my eyes. How can he be this possessive and still treat me like I'm trash?"
"You don't mean anything and will never. You use just a toy for me to play with and after that, I'll throw you away."
"Well, good luck with that." I said and turned to the other side of the ward to cry."
He stood for a while before he walked out of th the room.
I cried soo much that I didn't know when I slept off.
"I brought you some food." Alfredo said and immediately stood up looking surprised.
"Thank you."
"Remember, I'm not doing this for you. It's for the kids." He said.
I took the flask of food and started to eat the content. The meal was delicious and I knew within me that it could be Alfredo or Sandra who made the food.
"I want you to keep this pregnancy news away from Sandra."
"Why should I do that? I'm your wife." I said.
"Seems you don't understand that our marriage means nothing. I married you to seek revenge, so do as you've been told. Is that clear?"
"Yes." I answered in a low voice.
I finished eating and handed the flask back to him and he left again. The doctor came to check me and I was forced to ask how my children were doing.
"From the scan, they are healthy. All you need is rest and food to enable them grow." He said.
I nodded and he left. I wished my mother was here with me to tell me how to take care of myself till delivery.
Could my life get any worst than this??
Later that night, Alfredo sent someone to deliver some food and fruits for me. I was happy, at least he cared for his children deeply that he sent someone to bring me food.
I smiled after receiving the food package.
I pictured myself with my child's playing together and my heart lit up with joy.
I missed my mom. I wished she never died soo early. I wouldn't have been in this mess and all the inheritance I had, my father who I thought cared about me too them all. Now I've got no family, just myself.
Tears starts to flow from my eyes. I was lost in my thoughts till the nurse who came to tap me to take my medication.
"Why are you crying Ma'am?" She asked.
"Nothing, something got into my eyes." I lied.
"Okayy, you're not to cry so your child would come out perfect."
"I won't cry again. Thank you." I said.
"It's fine, here are you medications. The doctor said you'll be discharged tomorrow morning."
I took my medication and thanked her. I wish I could stay in the hospital forever and not go back to that hell called a house.
