I could see the joy in her eyes and he hugged me tightly. I just swallowed my saliva because I knew what I said was a lie to her.
"Finally you have chosen a man for you, daughter. I'm so very happy for you," he said with a smile.
"Why didn't you let him enter our house first?" she asked me.
"Uhmm, he's also in a hurry, mom" I answered.
"Unfortunately, I still want to meet him," Mommy said disappointedly.
I sat on the sofa and there was a trace of curiosity in her eyes. She also sat down and asked what I was thinking.
"You should know something, mom," I said bravely.
"What is that, Mila?" she asked.
I took a deep breath and gathered the courage to admit my pregnancy and my marriage to Ransom. But all I can say for now is that I am getting married.
"I'm getting married, Mom," I admitted.
She was very surprised by what I said but did not get angry. Instead, she was very happy to hear from me.
"A..Are you kidding, Daughter?" she asked in disbelief.
"I..I'm serious, mom" I stammered.
"Ohhh okay, wow,!" she said with a smile, obviously surprised by what I said.
"I was shocked by what you said, Mila. I just found out that you have a boyfriend and now, you're going to tell me that you're getting married?" she asked in disbelief.
"But maybe I should be happy because you are getting married. You're going to start a family and if that's what makes you happy, I'll be the first person who will be happy for you" she said gently asking me.
"I thought you would be angry, Mom" I responded.
She just smiled at me and caressed my back. Her face showed happiness at those times. And every time I see my mother happy, that feeling is so priceless.
A few days later, Ransom's parents invited us to a party. I was also given a beautiful dress so I feel like a very lucky woman in the world.
"You are very beautiful, Daughter" she praised.
When we arrived at the mansion, there were a lot of guests. The decorations and lights were very grand in every space of their vast garden. Ransom's parents greeted us. They greeted mommy and mommy did the same to them. My eyes were searching for Ransom because I had never seen him.
"Uhmm, where is Ransom, Mom?" I asked.
His mother smiled sweetly at me and looked at the stage. I was stunned to see Ransom in front. He was wearing a dark purple Tuxedo with a black long-sleeve underneath. His beauty and whiteness appeared more because of what he was wearing. Oh my God! My fiancé is very handsome.
"I want you to meet my soon-to-be Mrs.Crosby, Camilla Garcia," he announced in front of the guests.
I was very surprised to hear it from him. I didn't think he would introduce me as his fiancé in front of many people.
He invited me to go to the front with him. I can't explain what I was feeling at that time. My heart beat so fast while he held my hand and kissed it. Is it true? Is what he showed me true?
Days and months passed and the day of our wedding came. I didn't think twice about marrying him because I could see the gradual change in his attitude. He has been kind to me compared to before, even though he often doesn't say anything when just the two of us.
I'm now in front of the church, waiting for the door to open. I took a deep breath and I can't explain what I was feeling at that time. It was a mixture of joy and excitement because I was finally going to experience marriage. My mother felt joy, and she was even happier.
While I was walking down the aisle, I was just smiling while looking at Ransom. Even though this man's face was serious while looking at me, he was still very handsome. I didn't think that one night's mistakes could be right.
When I got close to him, he immediately offered his hand and supported me. He made me sit on the chair before he sat next to me. There was silence between the two of us as we faced the priest.
The ceremony started until we exchanged vows and rings. This is the most romantic day that has happened in my life.
"I, now pronounce your husband and wife," the priest announced.
The crowd stood up and applauded. I couldn't help but cry because of the joy I felt. But he's still so very serious.
"You may now kiss the bride," the priest announced again.
We looked at each other and his eyes were staring at me seriously and kissed me. I think that kiss lasted only two seconds, but I could feel the warmth of his lips.
After our wedding ceremony, we left the church. We got into the Limousine and there was silence between the two of us.
When we arrived at a very nice hotel resort, he got off first and opened the car door for me. He offered his hand, and I accepted it.
We walked into the resort and the guests greeted us. The surroundings were so beautiful because it was surrounded by lights. Again, this day was one of the happiest days of my entire life.
But it all turned out to be just the beginning of my miserable life with Ransom.
After our marriage, he didn't treat me well. Our relationship was cold as ice and he often abused me even though I was pregnant.
"Camilla!" he shouted.
It's obvious that he's angry again and it's not new to me. He talks badly about me every day. But I just ignore it. I don't want it to affect the child inside my womb.
"What is this?! What did you do with my clothes?!" he yelled at me.
"I didn't mean it, Ransom. Suddenly the iron overheated so I accidentally burned the side a little." I explained.
“Do you know how much it is?! Huh?!" he yelled at me.
"I really didn't mean it. I'm really sorry," I apologized.
His face was about to explode with anger, and he threw his clothes down hard and cursed.
"Damn it! Stupid woman!" he cursed.
He stormed out of the door and I was left alone in the room. I couldn't stop the tears from falling in my eyes. Is he going to hurt me like this again and again? Is he going to insult me again and again? Why doesn't he want to accept an explanation? Why does it seem so easy for him to hurt me?
I held my stomach and caressed it. I was talking to my baby while trying to calm myself down. I didn't want her to be affected by the pain I was feeling right now.
Months passed and my husband still treated me coldly and arrogantly. I did everything to be a good wife. I served him even though I was pregnant because I knew it was my responsibility as a wife to take care of him. But he didn't appreciate it, or at least seen it. Instead, he always curses me whenever he is angry. He only acts nice whenever his parents are around. But when it's just the two of us, it's the opposite of what he shows them.In the evening I helped their maid, Lydia, prepare food. I don't want to act like a princess, so I am doing my best to help with house chores."I'll help you,Lydia" I volunteered.
“Oh! Don't, Ma'am Camilla. Your pregnancy is not a joke, so you better be careful." Lydia denied me."But Ransom might be angry with me. I don't want to be a burden here," I insisted."Why would he be angry, ma'am? He knows you are pregnant so he has nothing to be angry about. You are his wife and not a maid here," Lydia replied."Can you stop calling me Ma'am?" I asked.“Oh! That's not possible. They will be angry with me, Ma'am." Lydia answered.I just sighed at what Lydia said to me. She noticed my worried face at those times."Ma'am, do you have a problem with Sir Ransom? Why do you seem afraid of him?" he asked me curiously.I was surprised at her question and think of what I'm going to answer. But before I could answer that question, I looked behind me when I heard Ransom's arrogant voice behind us.He loudly mentioned my name and I immediately turned to him. "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to prepare my suitcase?!" he said to me with a frown. Lydia and I looked at each other. I could see the nervousness on her face. But I was surprised when she approached Ransom to apologize. "I'm sorry, Sir. I'll be the one to fix your things." he volunteered. My eyes widened when I heard what he said. I refused because I knew Ransom would be angry. "Not anymore, Lydia. It's me!" I insisted. "What are you waiting for?!" he said arrogantly. I quickly walked up the stairs to our room. I took a deep breath because I was panting. When I entered the room, I opened his suitcase on top of the bed. I took some clothes and folded them before putting them inside his briefcase. A few moments later, he entered our room. He frowned and looked at me while smiling. "That's why you can't do any work here because you prioritized gossiping with Lydia," he preached. "I just want to help cook," I ex
"If only you hadn't gotten pregnant, I wouldn't have a problem now!" he told me angrily. I felt incomparable pain at that time. I don't know what sin I did to him to hurt me like this. I also didn't want him to get me pregnant. No one would want to be with someone like him. I want to slap him and make him see that I have a heart too. I'm not a stone and dumb to feel pain. I'm just a human, but why if he talks to me, I'm like an animal? "You know you're overdoing it! I don't want to get pregnant either. No woman would want to endure this!" I said it emotionally. "That's right. Why are you so dramatic?!" he frowned when he asked. "You can leave if you want!" he added. "What about our baby if I don't persevere?!" I asked firmly. "You simply abort the child and forget you have a child," he replied arrogantly. I couldn't keep silent about what he said. I could hardly breathe because of the pain I felt at that time. How could he say that to me? He stormed out of the room and I was
Just as I expected, I heard hurtful words from him again. I'm not surprised anymore, but I can't help but feel hurt. It's obvious that he doesn't really care about my feelings."Why are you forcing yourself, Camilla? How long are you going to force yourself on me?!" he asked with a frow"Ransom, I'm begging you, that's enough." I begged him."How can I stop if I see your face every day?" he asked firmly."Wait, aren't you the one who asked me to marry you? Why am I always wrong?!” I asked emphatically."I just have no choice," he answered firmly.My chest was very tight and I could barely breathe at that time. I wouldn't have pushed myself if he hadn't gotten me pregnant. I will do everything for the sake of our child."We're just the same, Ransom," I told him, crying."Damn it!"he cursed and stormed off.I took a deep breath to calm myself down. I don't want to affect the child in my womb again. Iagain. I heard Lydia's voice behind me. I turned to her and she came to me. She looked
I immediately covered my whole body with my hand. He was obviously surprised and smashed the bathroom door. I was also very surprised by what he did and gasped."What the fuck!""Why don't you lock the door?!" he yelled."I didn't know you were coming. I thought you were coming home later," I explained."I know you just want me to lust after your body even though it's obvious that I'm not interested," he replied firmly.My eyes widened at what he said. I didn't think he would say those words to me.I was annoyed and immediately covered my body with a towel before leaving the bathroom. I saw him taking off his Tuxedo and I was stunned.His movements suddenly slowed down in my sight. Everything around me went into slow motion at that time. The annoyance I felt disappeared especially when his very handsome and sparkling eyes looked at me.His gentle eyes while looking at me and his red lips speaking. Every angle of him is perfect!I didn't hear his preaches anymore and I just stared at h
They said goodbye to leave for a business trip to Hong Kong. I almost fainted when I heard what his father said. I immediately looked at him to see his reaction.I saw him simply smile and I knew he wanted it too. He is now free to treat me like a maid. He is far from doing what he wants to torture me. I held my breath while thinking about that."Is there a problem, Camilla?" his father asked me in surprise."Uhmm, nothing,Dad" I stammered."Are you sure?"he asked unconvinced."Yes, dad. Maybe I'm just sad because I'll miss you two," I answered.He smiled at what I said and sighed. I glanced at Ransom, and he obviously didn't like what I said. I know he feels like I'm just acting in front of his parents."Don't be like that. You know it's bad for the baby when you're sad," he said seriously."Ransom is right, Camilla. You should think of your baby first," his mother said.I apologized and stroked my stomach. I really couldn't help feeling scared and sad every time I thought about what
"Now tell me I'm wrong," he said sarcastically.I immediately opened my eyes and was very embarrassed by what he said. I couldn't move from where I was standing and my knees were shaking because of shame."Look how easy to get you are!" he smirked.I don't know how to answer him. I know I was too weak to wait for his kiss. Why did I do that?I just held my breath because of my stupidity. I know what I did was wrong. Why did I still assume that he would kiss me?"Camilla, calm down," said my mind."I have no choice, Ransom. Don't give me malice" I lied.I saw that he just shook his head at what I said and he lay down on the bed. I was left standing and still seemed anxious because of what happened. How can I undo what I did?I went to the Veranda to calm myself down. I scolded myself for my stupidity."You're a fool, Camilla. You didn't even think that he was just biting you on his leg. You're really stupid!" I said to myself.I just shrugged my shoulders while looking at the distance.
"Stop acting like that!" he said with a frown.I can't quite imagine how he could tell me like that even he could see my condition. My whole body is weak and I'm having trouble breathing.But before I could speak, I lost consciousness. I don't know what happened next to me.I just woke up in a cozy room. The doctor who was currently taking my blood appeared in front of me.I saw Ransom's mother and my mother in the seat on the side. I also saw Ransom looking at me seriously. I felt a stomach ache when I moved a little. My mother stopped me and supported me."Don't move, daughter," she said gently."What happened, mom? Is my baby okay?," I replied, crying."Shhhh, don't worry baby is safe. Your daughter is safe,"my mother said, smiling, but she was obviously crying too."I gave birth?" I asked in disbelief."Yes, Cesarean. You need to perform a Cesarean just like the doctor did because of the baby's condition. Her heartbeat is weak so she will be taken care of in their care,"the mother
A big bouquet of flowers appeared in front of us. My jaw almost dropped when I saw it. Suddenly my heart beat faster when I saw my husband in front of me. I couldn't stop smiling while observing his very handsome face."Wow!" my mother said with a smile, obviously amazed at what she saw."Good morning, Aunt" Ransom said with a smile."Good morning, my love," he added.She came up to me with a smile and gave me the second bouquet of flowers. I didn't even notice that the big bouquet of flowers was like a funeral flower and my mother noticed it."Wait, didn't you notice that one flower looks like a funeral, daughter?!" Mother asked emphatically.I thought about it and tried to smile. Even though the truth is, I'm really annoyed with this man. It's obvious that he wants me to die. I thought he really made an effort, but what else should I expect from him?"Is there a problem?" she asked blindly."Actually, I don't see any problem and I should even thank you for your effort, Ransom," her
