Chapter 12
MALIYA
A couple of months has passed and one would probably think things would get easier, but no. It is either one torture or another punishment. My life has been nothing but torment since the moment I got here..
I hated my life more than anything. I was convinced that maybe I am the one with the ill fate seeing how everyone was doing quite alright except from me..
I have lost count on the amount of times that I have thought of taking the easier route. I thought killing myself would make things easy, but no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t bring myself to make such a decision.
I feel like a coward. No one would miss me when I am gone. No one even gives a damn about me. My death would just be another news that wont even last for five minutes, yet, I couldn’t bring myself to do it.
“Maliya, you need to be fast. You still haven’t cleaned Alpha Xander’s room and you. know he doesn’t like to stay in dirty environment,” Claudia reminded me and I sighed.
I have a piled up clothes to wash and another work was already waiting for me.
I have come to accept my fate in this place. I was just a mere toy to Alpha Xander at night and a slave to everyone else in the morning.
If there was anything I have learnt so far, it was the fact that I could never rest until the six months is over and he finally gets himself a new toy.
“Maliya, are you even listening to me?” Claudia snapped, gaining my attention.
“Huh? I mean, yes, No, I muttered and she shook her head.
“What are you thinking about? Where is your head at?”
There was no point repeating my problems to her again. She has heard it at least a thousand times and she always come to the same conclusion.
“You need to stay strong.”
Strong is the only word to use for how I have been trying to adapt to things since I got here, but it hasn’t been easy at all.
“I’m fine,” I lied.
I don’t know what went wrong, but I suddenly began to feel sick. My stomach began to turn and I felt so much unease.
My head began to spin around as my eyes began blurry.
“Maliya, are you sure you are okay?” Claudia’s words become an echo before darkness consumes me.
“How is she doing? What is wrong with her? Is she sick? What will happen to her now?” A familiar voice asked.
I struggled to open my eyes and I found myself in my room. I don’t know how I git here or how long I was out for. I suddenly began to feel faint and the last thing I remembered was Claudia’s voice.
My eyes adjusted to the light when I finally opened it and I saw Madam Rosalie and Claudia looking at me with a concerned look.
“Ah, you are awake,” Madam Rosalie said and I forced out a small smile.
“Move back a little, I need to run a few test on her,” a man I assumed to be the physician said.
I didn’t even realise he was there until now.
Claudia and Madam Rosalie stepped back and waited for him to run a few test on me. He raised my hands up to check my pulse and continued to examine me for a while before he finally broke the silence.
“Have you been going through some stress lately?” The man asked and Rosalie spoke before I could.
“She does her role in this place. Tell us if something is wrong, don’t keep us in the dark.”
“Nothing is wrong for now. She fainted because of the stress but things could get worse if she doesn’t relax,” he said and my heart skipped a beat.
As if Claudia could read my mind, she was the first one to ask.
“What do you mean for now? Are you saying things could get worse?”
“The doctor sighed before looking at all three of us. Considering her condition, yes, things could get worse if she did not get enough rest. I noticed she is suffering from malnutrition too. She needs to be in good form.”
“Don’t keep us in the dark, doctor. What condition are you talking about?” Madam Rosalie and my heart began to beat fast.
I was already thinking of the worse scenario. What if I was suffering from a deadly disease and only have a few months left to live? What if there is no cure?
The doctor gave us a strange look before he clears his throat, making my heart beat. frantically.
“I thought you must have noticed the symptoms but seeing how ignorant you look I guess you don’t,” he looked at me before he continued speaking. “You are pregnant,” he announced.
It felt like the time stopped for a second and I couldn’t process the news. How? When? No. no, no. This can not be true.
“Are you sure about this? Do you want to run another test? It’s not possible… I don’t care how many times you need to run the test but we need to be accurate. I’m sure you made a mistake,” I blurted.
Tears pricked at the corner of my eyes, but I refuse to believe the news.
“Yes, doctor. It is impossible. There is no way she is pregnant. Why don’t you run another test on her, please?” Madam Rosalie said with a disturbed expression.
Claudia just stood there with a widened expression and I couldn’t even blame her. We all know what was at risk if it turned out to be the truth and not the doctor’s mistake.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“Madam Rosalie, I have been doing this job for as long as I can remember and I can never make a mistake. She is pregnant and I don’t know how, but it is not a mistake, at least not from my side.”
Tears streamed down my face and I buried my face in my palm. Please, let this be a mistake. This cannot be true. I cannot be pregnant for a heartless man like Alpha Xander.
I cried quietly unable to think of anything else as I thought about how miserable my life was about to become.
