If I informed my family, then they would definitely ask me to abort the baby.
I would disagree with them on that.
But at the same time, I knew whether I agreed with them or not, they would forcefully get rid of the new life inside me.
I couldn’t even run away because I was not some pro in doing this. They would indeed track me down, so it would be better to kill myself along with the baby, but no matter how much I tried to, I couldn’t muster the courage to jump in the river.
In the end, I sighed in defeat and sat on the edge of the bridge and started crying, hiding my face with my palm, not knowing what to do!
“Need help?” I heard an unfamiliar voice. I stopped crying and looked at the source of that voice. A handsome man was standing at a distance of ten minutes and looking at me and then the river under the bridge. I ignored his handsome face because mom told me never ever get attracted to the handsome face because sometimes devils come with the mask of an angel.
“No. Thank you.”, I replied and hoped he to leave from here, but he didn’t. Instead, he looked down at the river as if he was guessing the depth of it from here.
“Even if you’re a great swimmer. I doubt you can survive the flow of this river in the rainy season.”, he said. “So, I guess your plan of killing yourself is not going to flop.”
“But I didn’t want to die.”, I whispered in a low tone.
“Did you say something?”
“No,” I shook my head.
“You know, sometimes, talking to strangers is much easier because they don’t really judge you. Or even if they do, we don’t really care about it. So, in short, you can talk to me.”, he suggested. I looked at him with teary eyes and wiped the tears which rolled out of them. “I’m a good listener, you know.”
“My boyfriend disappeared after knowing that I’m pregnant with this child. Now, I don’t know what to do next. I mean, I know what I want to do but whatever I’m thinking is next to impossible. I want to keep this baby, but neither will they support me in this decision nor let me keep this baby. They will either forcefully drag me to the hospital or, worst, poison me with something because of which my baby will die in my womb.” I explained my situation and started crying again.
“I came here to kill myself for trusting the wrong guy and breaking dad’s trust, but, yeee to me, I failed. I guess I’m good for nothing.”
“Well, I can’t help but agree to the part about ‘TRUSTING THE WRONG GUY’ I mean, you barely know me, and you told your little secret with me just because I talked with you softly, hmm?”
“I know that’s so stupid of me.”, I muttered.
“Nevermind. Coming back to your situation, is there no one who can support you in this decision? Because you don’t look like a working woman to me.”
I shook my head, “Everyone is scared of dad. This is the story of every home.”
“I get that part, but not a single person is there is your family to help you in this situation? Mother, brother, or sister?” He asked which the first face that appeared in front of me Oliver was. I had eight brothers, but he was the closest to me because we stayed together until his high school, while my other brothers were either half brothers or steps brothers, who were not that close to me even though they cared for me. After all, I was the only sister in the group of eight brothers.
“I guess you already got your answer, don’t you?” he asked when he observed me thinking hard.
“Hmm.” I nodded my head. I could talk to Oliver about it. I knew he would be mad at me, but he wouldn’t ask me to abort the child.
“Now that you have changed your mind. Come! I will help you from stepping down from there.”, Saying this, he forwarded his hand, which I instantly grabbed and turned around to step down from the edge. “You again trusted me, don’t you?” he asked with a grin. “What if I will push you into the river,” he added.
I didn’t reply to him until my feet finally touched the land.
“You’re adamant about making me realize that I shouldn’t trust strangers, aren’t you?”
“Not just strangers but sometimes the people around you also break your trust.”, he responded with a smile, and immediately his body stiffened. He quickly pulled his hand away from my hand. “I should be leaving.”
“Yeah! Bye, and thank you.”
I watched that stranger leave in a hurry, I wondered what the reason behind it was, but he didn’t answer me. I watched him, sitting in the driver seat of the car, parked near it, and in no moment, he was out of view.
I pulled out my phone to talk with Oliver and saw more than 50+ missed calls from my family members.
Shit! I shouldn’t have kept my phone in silent mode.
I quickly dialed the last number which had called me.
“Hello, Mom”
‘Gross! Sophia. Where the hell have you been? Do you have any idea how worried everyone is? Levi (One of my brothers) tracked down your phone location and now would be reaching near the bridge soon. Just stay where you were until now.’
“Okay”
‘And the discussion is not over yet. Your dad will talk to you personally for this behavior.’, Saying this, she disconnected the call while I gulped my saliva nervously, staring at my phone for a while.
I just stood there, waiting for Levi, but he didn’t come to receive me even after an hour. And whenever I dialed his number, he was not receiving my call.
Finally, after waiting for more than half an hour more, three-car stopped near me, and to my surprise, it was Asher, my other brother, instead of Levi in the middle car. “Get in, quick.”, he said, sliding down the glass of the co-pilot seat. I nodded my head and got inside the car without wasting a single second.
And the moment I did, I heard the loud howl of the wolf.
“What was that?” I asked in fear.
“Nothing.”, Replying this, he drove the car like a maniac. His expression was telling me that he didn’t mean that answer because I didn’t remember Asher going anywhere with three cars at the same time that was too loaded with bodyguards.
“Levi was going to pick me. But he didn’t come even after making me wait for more than an hour and also wasn’t receiving my phone.”, I complained. “I’m going to demand an explanation for this behavior of his.”, I huffed, folding my hand around my chest.
But my plan to demand an explanation and my anger all evaporated into thin air when I reached home and saw the dead body of Levi. Not just that, he was all covered with his own blood.
Blood.
I was afraid of seeing blood.
And the next thing I knew, I collapsed down in shock.
*****
“Sophia… Sophia…. Sophia?” I heard my name being called, and I opened my eyes, only to find Eden standing in front of me. Seeing her, I realized I was back in my present life.
“The dinner is ready. Come on!”, She said softly and touched my belly. “Even my little angels will be hungry.”
I smiled at her words. Eden and Arya were the werewolf couple that Rebecca had sent with me. I was glad that they both were females and happily marked and mated. And the cherry on the top, they adore babies. They were thrilled to learn that I was going to have twins. They already divided their time between when one would be taking care of kids and when the other would be handling the household work.
Until now, Rebecca was bearing all the expenses for mine and my babies because Oliver’s business was still at the beginning stage. But I knew I couldn’t stay dependent on either of them for long. I had to look for that kind of job in which I could work from home and take care of my babies at the same time instead of working for a straight nine to ten hours in the office.
