Who are you?
I don't understand anymore, what does he want to happen? Why do I even have to stay in this house? For what? So that I can see Catherine give birth and I will be their helper?!
It would be better for us to just let each other go, and to let go of what we have.
"W-What! Stop! Jacob it hurts!" I tried to break his hug from me but he wouldn't let go.
"P-Please... Don't leave me, I have an explanation, please listen first." he slammed into my neck and hugged my waist tightly.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. I can't stand seeing him weep because it makes me feel like I don't want to leave him. Why am I so obsessed with this? For love, I'm willing to be a fool and a martyr.
"Abi, I'm still waiting for the result of the DNA Test." He pleaded.
I became very weak and began to cry in his chest. What DNA Result is he saying? I broke away when he hugged me but he didn't let go, instead, he just gave me a little space between us so I could see his face.
"I'm not sure if I'm really the father of what she’s carrying—" he stopped when I spoke.
"Should I be happy because of that, Jacob?" he swallowed, unable to look me in the eye, signaling that he didn't know what to say.
"I don't know; Catherine got me drunk, so I don't know; I'm still a man, and I don't have the sense to do that," he said as his hug tightened around my waist, bringing me closer to him.
"Jacob, if we love someone, we can stay away from any temptations even if you are not insanity." I smiled with pain. "Jacob, these things are happening because we are not the ones for each other. Look, you already have Catherine, you will have a baby. Just love her because she is the one for you and not me." I grabbed his hands behind my waist and tried to untie them.
He grimaced and locked his gaze on me. I closed my eyes and was going to pull away from his embrace, but he didn't let go; instead, he just stared at me intently.
"I promised myself that I will do everything so that I don't lose you. I want you to trust me that you are the only one I love, is it hard to do that?" he said while asking seriously.
"I also promised not to leave you from the very beginning Jacob, but I thought I was enough to fool around with love. Jacob, I have a lot of trust in you. You know that, but also remember that you’ve ruined it. I don’t know if I could trust you again, it's hard to believe what you say. So it's better if we just let each other go because we will be even more hurt if we continue like this." I let go of his hug but he didn't want to. When I looked at his face, all I can see was anger.
"Jacob! Let me go! I'm leaving. Please." he just looked at me angrily then he grabbed my arm violently and pulled me up to a vacant room.
"IF I SAID YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE THIS HOUSE, YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE! YOU WILL STAY HERE BECAUSE OF ME!" He threw me on the bed and quickly got out and so, I chased him but he closed the door, and when I tried to open it, It was already locked. All I could do was slam the door.
"JACOB! PLEASE! OPEN THE DOOR!" I kept banging on the door, why is he doing this to me?
I just leaned against the door and sat down with my face on my knees. What should I do?
Time passed and I fell asleep with tears in my eyes. I was woken up by a mosquito bite and when I opened my eyes, it was already dark and all I could see is a window with little light. I stood up and tried to open the door but it was still locked. I tried to open the light but it didn't turn on.
"Jacob! Ms. Cora! Ms. Cheska! Open it!" I slammed the door repeatedly but it did not open and they did not respond to my holler.
My tears started to fall again. Jacob locked me up here, I want to leave. I touched my baby bump and I was starving, my baby could get hungry too. I just held and looked at my baby bump while crying.
"I’m sorry, baby, Don't worry your Daddy will come too." Just as I wiped away my tears, the door slammed open.
I got up immediately and was ready to greet Jacob but someone else was holding the food on the tray. I was stunned by the person that was standing outside the door, she threw the food on the floor. So I stared at the shameless woman who did that.... Catherine.
"Opss. Sorry," she said demonically and she even covered her mouth as if she were surprised and unintentionally.
"Can you put it down properly? You didn’t have to throw it away!" my blood boiled from what she did.
"That's delicious, go ahead and eat it. And by the way, you should thank me because instead of Ms. Cora, I’m the one who brought your food. You’re lucky because the wife of the owner of this house brought you that dirty food!" She said teasingly while twisting the end of her hair with her index finger.
"How thick is your face to get in here? Get lost b*tch!" I shouted at her and she looked at me as if I didn't matter.
"You know what? Whatever you say, I'm the one who Jacob loves, and guess what? We're having a baby soon. Oops! Do you know why he brought you here? Because it's my request. And it’s so sweet of him to grant it. And because of that, I loved him even more." She said angrily, I just bit my lip so hard and I managed to prevent myself from pulling her because she's pregnant.
"What do you want? Jacob? Fine. I'm tired of fighting just for him, because everything I do for him, it's all the opposite of what he does in exchange for my love. You want him with you, don't you? Then, let me go!” She raised an eyebrow, approached, and turned to me.
What the fuck? What's her problem?
What the hell is going on with this woman? I wanted to grab her hair, but I couldn't since I was still thinking about the baby in her belly. He still brings Jacob's child, no matter what occurs.
"You want to leave here? Accept this first," she said abruptly, grabbing my hair.
"Ahhh! Babe! Babe! Abigail is hurting me! Ouch! Help!" is she crazy already? What is she saying?
Shit! I can't turn around because she's yanking on my hair and screaming? She just keeps tweaking me, and when I turn around to face her, I grab her hand, which is still tweaking my hair. I want to retaliate against her, but I'm worried about the child in her womb; perhaps something awful will happen to her.
"C-Catherine! It hurts! Let me go! Ouch!" It's as if my scalp can be pulled out by the tightness of her tweak.
She whispered to me, "That's what you deserve, stupid flirt! The thickness of your face flirt with Jacob!" Did she know what she’s been talking about?
"You're also a deceitful woman, aren't you? Bitch—" when I was about to remove Catherine's grip on me with all my strength, I was suddenly surprised when she threw herself on the floor. I was about to approach her when suddenly...
"Abigail!" I looked at the door, the shock and concern for Catherine drew on his face and was replaced by anger when he looked at me. I already know what he was thinking.
"Babe! She pushes me. O-Ouch! Babe my tummy!" I just stood there watching Catherine’s drama.
"Why did you fucking do that?! Why did you push her on the floor?! Abigail, she's pregnant!" he growled at me while supporting Catherine.
"Jacob, my tummy hurts. Ouch! She hurt me," she says. She'll pretend with Jacob again. I was blown away by the wind, so I focused on something else while fighting back tears.
"Shit! How do you feel? Which part hurts?" he asked Jacob confusedly and couldn't be bothered to check it.
I smiled bitterly, what about me Jacob? Won’t you ask what hurts me? What am I feeling? I feel more pain now, it hurts me to see you care more about her!
"Travis! David! Chad! Get the car ready we're going to the hospital! Pick up Catherine and get in the car I'll follow." He angrily called his friends.
I’m shocked at what they did if they only knew Catherine was just acting, but I don’t have the courage, to tell the truth. Because no matter what else I say I know Jacob won’t believe me. I’ll just let him believe what he wants and what he got, I’m getting tired.
He angrily grabbed my arm, I was hurt by what he did but I realized I shouldn’t be hurt anymore because by this time I should be used to what he was doing to me. I must be used to being hurt because over and over again when he does this to me, he hurts me emotionally and physically!
"Abigail! She's pregnant! Didn’t you think that something might happen to my child?!" Is he still proud to tell me that he is a cheater?
“Wow! I have nothing to say but the thickness of your faces that make me look like this! I’m not doing anything with you, nor with your wife and your child, and I want to leave here but you put me in this place! You never know what really happened! And I don’t want to say more because whatever I say you don’t believe! But this is all I want you to believe, that I am hurting!” But you don't know that the child I'm carrying can also harm because of that woman. I only thought those words were uttered because I saw that he was only worried about that woman. "You still have the courage to shout at me? Jacob, why don't you just let me go? Why don't you just let me go?! Why are you doing this to me?!" I couldn't help but cry in front of him.
"Because you're mine." stare that says it. Obsession!
“Well just so you know you don’t own me! Next time, find out what really happened so that I can tell you that my conscience can’t hurt a pregnant woman!” He averted his eyes but immediately looked at me badly.
"Once something happens to my son, I don't know what I can do to---" before he finished his fucking word. I slapped him.
"You're so stupid! Don't accuse me of things I haven't done and I will never be able to do!" He grabbed my arm because I was close to him, at the same time his evil stare greeted me. "Why are you acting like that? Why are you doing this to me? I didn't expect you to threaten me like that. I don't know you anymore." I stared at him because I was really hurt. I stared at him in a way that I could show him how I felt even if we just stared at it.
"Why did you push her?! I'm not on her side, Abi! My main concern here is my baby," he said as he squeezed my arm even tighter. What I said appeared to be disregarded.
"L-Let me go! I didn't push him! She slapped herself on the floor!" I turn to him.
He shoved me aggressively because my baby bump touched the edge of the bed. "Don't lie! Because you're only making me furious at what you're doing!" he said.
I close my eyes in pain, and bite my lip so as not to create any noise. I just cried when I heard the door open and close, my stomach ached so I didn't know what to do with the pain I was feeling.
I heard the car leave quickly. While I was there, writhing in pain while crying in this dark room. During this time, I was worried about my child's condition.
I promise, Jacob. You will never know our son, never! If you just ignore me like this and treat me like trash and like your slave. You don’t deserve to be known by my son!
I don’t know if I can still love you, I don’t know if I can still fight for you, I don’t know how much I can endure. But all I know now is that I want to take my son away from you. I want to protect my child from you.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to stand up and peeked out the window of this room. The moon is beautiful, the stars in the sky seem to calm me down. I opened the window and the wind blew into the room.
I touched my baby bump, caressing it gently until the pain I had felt earlier disappeared.
I love you more than you think, I love you, Jacob, without a doubt. I will never let you hurt me and our child, again. Once I leave this room, I do not know you anymore and I will erase you from my life forever.
