Pov EmilyPregnant? I don't want to be carrying his child. I don't want to bring my baby into this twisted world; Tyler doesn't deserve to be a father. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts as the door to the room swung open, and Emma walked in with a tray in hand."Hello, Mr. Parker," Emma greeted with a smile."Hello, Emma," I attempted to reciprocate her smile, but with so much turmoil around me, it felt impossible to exude kindness."I've brought soup and some fruits for you," Emma said, approaching to reveal the contents on the tray."I'm not hungry," I responded, wrinkling my nose at the sight of the food."But you need to eat for the baby's sake. Come on, take a bite," Emma insisted, picking up a piece of fruit and attempting to feed me."Emma, I'm not hungry," I rejected with frustration. At that moment, the doctor and the nurse entered the room, carrying several examination papers that had been conducted while I was unconscious."I'm relieved to see you awake, Emily!" the docto
Pov Emily"What do you mean, leaving our lives forever?" I asked, a bit apprehensive, knowing Tyler didn't make jokes."When you have my child, you will die. Is it hard to understand?" he said, leaving the room and going down the stairs."You can't be serious. Do you really think you can kill me? You're dreaming!" I said angrily, following him and drawing the attention of the men waiting for him in the living room."Emily, stop bothering me with your unnecessary comments and go to bed!" he replied impatiently.I wondered what lie he would tell our son, trying to hide that he killed his mother by mistake. Do you think he will be able to forgive you?" I kept talking, not caring about the consequences.Emma came to us to find out what was going on, and the security guards began to surround the area due to my strident screams."Don't worry, I'll find a new mother for the baby. As soon as he's born, he'll never remember that you existed in his life!" Tyler shrugged, unfazed."So that's wha
POV TylerWhat the hell was my father talking about? I had killed the Parkers two months ago, and what is my father doing here?"Emily, go to your room, now!" I said seriously, and she looked at me, confused, not understanding what was happening."No! What do you mean? What did you do to my parents? They're innocent!""We didn't do anything, right, son? That's exactly why I'm furious!" Paul said through gritted teeth, sitting in the armchair in front of the living room."What are you talking about?" I raised my eyebrows suspiciously."They escaped!" my father answered angrily.I heard those words in disbelief. How could they have escaped? I kept one of my men to kill them, and he had told me the job was done."You tried to kill my parents?" Emily spoke with a shaky voice."Are you stupid by any chance?" Paul looked at her angrily, and I knew what he was about to do."Emily, go to your room, now!" I shouted. She looked at me a bit reluctant and slammed the door, obeying my command. I c
**Pov Emily. One day later...**It wasn't possible that my parents abandoned me to die, and worst of all, the reason for all this hatred is unknown. My parents wouldn't marry me into a family planning to destroy ours, or would they?Paul Miller never appeared in person, and Tyler's mother never visited us. They said she was involved with her bridal studio in New York and, therefore, didn't visit us. They didn't even show up for the wedding. In fact, I never met them.The first time I saw Tyler's father, he was in front of me pointing a gun at my head. Emma mentioned she overheard Tyler and Paul talking; his father planned to stay in this house for a month, and I needed to find a way to escape. I couldn't sleep at night out of fear. When I managed to fall asleep, I had nightmares and woke up scared in the middle of the night. I'm sure this isn't good for the baby.The clock read four in the morning. I decided to take a hot shower to calm down. When I entered the bathroom, I saw Tyler o
Pov Tyler.After leaving Emily at the cabin, I went straight to the warehouse. From a distance, I could identify the person sitting at my table."You woke up early," I said, looking at my father, who was sitting near the stack of drugs."You too, my dear son. Still trying to hide Emily from me, are you trying to keep me away from my grandson?" My father said with a sarcastic tone. "Don't worry, Tyler, I didn't follow you, and I don't know where she's hiding." He shrugged, indifferent."I'm sorry, but I can't let my son be at risk with you around," I replied seriously, observing his every expression."And you shouldn't. I might do something impulsive. Just looking at that girl, I already feel a boiling hatred inside me. But as soon as this baby is born, Emily will have to die, and for now, keep me away from her, just in case!" He said angrily."All right," I replied, sitting next to him at the table."Tomorrow, a new shipment of weapons will arrive near the border between Mexico and th
POV Emily."So, tell me, why do I have to do this again?" I asked as I continued to walk around the perimeter of the cabin. I looked back and saw Luke laughing at the fact that I hadn't stopped complaining since we left home."The doctor recommended that you get some sunlight and breathe in some fresh air. This contact with nature will do you good!" Emma smiled, holding my hand."I hate this; my legs hurt, and I feel my feet swelling," I said, sitting on a rock near the forest."Let's rest for a bit, then we'll continue!" Emma said, sitting beside me. Luke watched us attentively from afar."Emma... you've been with Tyler for a long time, right?" I asked curiously."Yes... I worked for the Mitchels before Tyler was born," Emma smiled, reminiscing about when Tyler was still a child."Why don't you quit this job? It can't be very comfortable working with the Mitchels for so long, and you're always risking your life," I said, pensively."Oh, dear, things weren't always like this. Tyler wa
**POV Tyler**Sometimes, we need to use our heads to get what we want. Emily wasn't stupid, but she was sentimental and believed faithfully in love. After spending a romantic night with her, I would be able to break the barrier between us easily. My mission was simple; I needed to pretend to be the repentant husband and fake some feelings for her. This way, I could keep Emily close until all of this ended. With her parents out of my reach, I would unleash all my anger on their daughter. After the baby was born, my plan was quite simple; I just needed to pretend to love her until this child was born."Good morning," Emily said as soon as she woke up, rubbing her eyes calmly."Good morning, future mom. I think the baby should be named Josh in my honor, after all, I'm Tyler's best friend!" Josh said convincingly."That's ridiculous. I saved his life in the last explosion at the warehouse," Justin retorted."Calm down, boys; it's still too early to determine the baby's gender. We don't kn
Pov EmilyMy heart nearly stopped when he pressed his lips against mine. It felt so good to be able to feel his kiss again, to smell him close to me; it all left me ecstatic."When we got married, I said our love was the main thing. I still feel that love, Emily. I love you," he said before pulling away, before leaving."Are you coming back?" I asked timidly, already missing him."I'll be back this week to stay with you, and it'll just be the two of us," he smiled before opening the car door. "I promise." Tyler left with his men, leaving me alone with the employees again.The night was restless, and despite my attempts to force myself to sleep, I couldn't find the way to slumber. I glanced at the clock and noticed it was already four-thirty in the morning. Frustrated, I decided to go down to the kitchen in search of something to eat. Pregnancy brought insatiable late-night cravings, and this time, my choice fell on a tub of chocolate ice cream.While savoring each spoonful, I heard ap
