Chapter 75
Aurora
With a heavy heart, I navigated my way into the woods alone, afraid and confused.
Cold bit deep into my skin, filling my body with goosebumps.
Drenched under the rain, my hair and my wet clothes were glued to my body, filling me with a shivering sensation.
I hugged my small frame as I made my way deep into the woods, walking fast as paranoia got the best of me.
My sneeze became more violent as every minute went by and my nose was running like a tap.
The wind after tonight’s heavy downpour caused my teeth to clatter. I tried rubbing my palms together to breathe a little warmth, but it was in vain.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Afraid that I was lost in the middle of nowhere, tears streamed down my eyes, rolling down my cheeks before mixing with the rainwater.
I craved warmth.
I craved shelter. But there was none.
Unconsciously, my hands flew to my stomach as if shielding it from the impact of the mighty wind.
My heart broke into tiny pieces when I remembered that I was pregnant.
Poor baby.
I felt sorry that he was going through a hard time even if he was still in my womb.
I felt sorry that I was the cause of his suffering.
I felt sorry for his fate.
I wish I could turn back the hands of time, I wouldn’t have trusted Ray.
I wouldn’t have drank the mushroom soup he gave me.
I wouldn’t have trusted him after he attempted to kiss me.
But I blindly accepted him, urging him to do his worst.
It hurt that his worst backfired against me and my unborn baby.
I was a bad mother.
Explaining to Damon was abortive as he didn’t want to hear a word from my mouth. According to his words, I cheated on him and he wasn’t the father of my child. He even went ahead to say that I connived with the doctor to deceive him about the paternity of the child.
I got no chance to speak to him after he tossed me out of the castle.
I was a bitch and he didn’t want me around.
I didn’t even get a chance to see Alex.
Everything happened so fast that I didn’t see it coming.
Something wasn’t right.
I had a feeling that Damon was pushed to do what he did.
Despite killing the doctor and badly injuring Ray, he didn’t lay his hands on me.
The more I asked myself questions, the more my head became blank.
How did Rosa get out of her dungeon?
How employed Ray and what was his reward? Why was I able to control myself after I drank the mushroom soup that Ray offered me?
After taking the soup, I remembered that I fell into unconsciousness, but after some hours, I was awake, but I wasn’t myself.
It was like a feeling of euphoria settled in me. I was excited without a reason.
It was like I was drugged, but I wasn’t sure.
I didn’t know how long Ray stayed in my room, but it didn’t take long before he started undressing himself. When he was stark naked, he began undressing me and stopping to kiss my body.
My body felt heavy and I couldn’t push him away. Soon, he started making advances towards me, touching me in my sensitive areas.
My vision was blurry, my head was blank and my words were slurry.
I couldn’t do anything, I couldn’t fight back. Weakness consumed me, making me lay beneath him like a log of wood.
I didn’t know what was wrong with me, I couldn’t push back, and I couldn’t resist it was like someone sapped all my strength. Soon, his face slowly changed to Damon’s face, making me enjoy his touch.
I shouldn’t have. But I couldn’t help it.
For that moment, I was a vegetable. The moment I sensed Damon’s presence, I wanted to expand things to him, but my tongue was tied, I ended up saying gibberish words, provoking him more.
Now I’ve lost him. I lost the father of my child and I lost my home.
Damon now believes Ray was the father of my child.
I let out an agonizing cry, ignoring the consequences of my actions.
I was pained.
I didn’t care if my voice drew the presence of predators. I didn’t care what happened to me.
I hated myself.
I missed Damon badly. I couldn’t wait to be in his arms again. I couldn’t wait to assure him that he was the father of my child.
Why was my happiness always short-lived?!
Why does something always end up tearing us apart, putting an end to the feelings that he had for me?
I could almost swear that Rosa had a hand in my presence predicament, but there was no evidence. I couldn’t accuse her unjustly.
Or maybe it was fate.
If I didn’t die in the castle, I would die in the woods.
A new feeling overtook me, fuelling me with confidence.
I didn’t care what situation I was in. I would take care of my little prince and give him the world.
I didn’t care if his father rejected us and threw us out like garbage, I would be an amazing mother to him.
With tears in my eyes, I hugged my belly, blowing a kiss at it.
I was about to continue my journey when an idea stuck in my head.
My eyes popped out of their sockets at the thought.
What if I left for my parents’ pack?
What if this was the opportunity I sought? Since Damon banned me from entering the castle, I was no longer his property and that only meant one thing…Freedom!
I couldn’t wait to be buried in my parents’ arms. I couldn’t wait to be treated like family.
My stomach bubbled with excitement as I made my way into the night, increasing my footsteps. Once I get to the tarred road, I’ll ask for directions to my parents’ pack.
I was about to take a left turn when an object clamped my legs tightly.
Gripped by fear, I screamed, struggling to pull my legs out of the object as I fell to the wet soil.
The more I tried to pull my leg, it felt like I would rip it as the trap held onto my leg tightly.
Fear consumed me when a net-like object from above, fell over me, covering my body.
It didn’t take long before I discovered that I was trapped.
