Lonely Bride

Sarah’s pov

So, he also wanted me for property, and his plan was so clear. Woo me, make babies with me, and take the property.

It felt as if my hands were getting colder and colder, and my eyes felt heavy.

I want to sleep. I don’t want to hear anything. My mind is advising me to go to bed, but my body isn’t supporting me to get up.

I am feeling as if my heart is so full. Full of pain, and that pain had made me numb.

“I said don’t you dare touch her. Touch her, and I will forget my mother’s lover in no time. Chop your hands and feed them to the fish.” Ivan’s threat was clear, and he looked damn serious.

I looked at my father as if he had been affected by his threat, and to my relief, he had. He didn’t get scared, but he understood Ivan was damn serious about whatever he said he would do.

I felt relieved to hear that he wouldn’t let anything happen to me or my kids.

And with hazy eyes and a foggy mind, I still concluded he was not calling my father with any agreement. So that means he is only Elliana’s son? Or maybe a kid from her marriage?

I wanted to know, but it seems like I have lost the energy.

I looked at my side, and an empty glass and jug of water were lying there.

With a shaking hand, I try to lift a half-filled jug and pour some water into a glass. More Than two glasses of water had already spilled on the table, while some I successfully poured into the glass.

Keeping jag back to the place and ignoring the bickering going around me, I lift the glass with my shivering hand and connect the rim of the glass to my lip.

The water felt so soothing to my dry throat, and I closed my eyes in anticipation.

Next, when I opened my eyes, my vision was clear, as were my thoughts.

“Then what else do you want to do with her? Fuck her and make her pregnant while she is already pregnant, and that too with twins?” My father hatefully barked, looking at me.

The small amount of respect I had in my heart for him today, this man lost, too.

“Now you have me, but not completely, but you are almost there. Come on, guess what I am thinking?” Ivan spoke while smirking.

His eyes never met mine, but I know he won’t let anything happen to me or my babies. But again, what games is he playing with this man who used to be my father but is not anymore?

I looked at Ivan, who was still looking at my father, waiting for him to reply. But with his expression, I can see he was least interested.

“Whatever you are thinking of making any stupid plan, let me tell you the ball is not in your court anymore, young man. You have lost the battle already.” He smirks back, saying this.

I look back, thinking to run away while they are bickering, but to my luck, a few guards were already standing where I had entered this house. And I am sure they won’t let me go, nor am I in a position to run, so I left that thought there and then.

“That’s your problem. You only see the problem, not the solution. The ball is still in my court, and I am going to win.” He spoke confidently.

His overconfidence was giving me chills.

“I wonder how you can’t see an elephant in the room. The problem is there; look at your back, you piece of shit.” He gritted his teeth while getting annoyed by Ivan.

“That’s what I am trying to say. She is not a problem. The problem is her kids. There are kids who have not yet arrived in the world, So that means we still have a chance.” Pride was visible in his voice, and the trust I had in him was broken in no time.

Now I do not need any words to know if he wants to get rid of my babies.

My heartbeat, which had just calmed down again, started running like a marathon.

I looked down while licking my lips.

I need to do something before they harm my kids.

“What do you mean by that?” My father asked, not understanding Ivan.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Kill Sean’s seeds and make my own. Isn’t that simple?” He spoke mercilessly.

I felt a rush of anger, and I wanted to jump on him and slap him so hard.

But I know it’s not time to do any stupidity; it’s time to think of something to protect my babies.

I won’t let anything happen to them. They are mine and Sean’s babies. I can’t let anything happen to our babies.

He has been protecting us, and now I will do the same.

“Then what do you think about killing them?” My father ordered Ivan, and he finally looked at me.

Our eyes met. He was cold, and mine hurt.

This man is not Ivan, I know. He is someone else I don’t even know.

He is not my soft and sweet Ivan. Or maybe he is the real one? And he was pretending until now?

Ivan walked to me and stood in front of me.

“What are you, Ivan, doing? Do you want to kill my babies for the property? Tell me how much you want. Will you tell me?” My voice broke, and I sobbed while speaking.

“I don’t want any property. I want you only, and only you.” He spoke, looking into my eyes.

But my eyes betrayed me because I was too broken to see any truth in his eyes.

“Oh yeah? Then why do you want to kill my babies? Tell me.”

My heart broke into pieces looking at how my friend backstabbed me until I bled badly today.

“The answer is simply darling. I want you all to myself. And here you are, coming with baggage. Though I love you, I cannot take anyone else’s headache from my head. Yeah, but I am going to love my babies, but again, I am not planning them very soon. I haven’t even started with you yet, and I know I can’t get enough of you soon. Dropping his hand into his pocket, he spoke as if it was no big deal for him.

“So, for that, you are ready to kill an innocent life?” I barked in anger.

“Nothing is innocent, which is related to bloody Sean Hudson.” He spoke, and his nostrils flared in anger, and I could see how much he hated him.

“I won’t let anything happen to my babies,” I said, keeping my hands on my belly.

Aww, baby girl. Well, I am really admiring your motherly feeling, but save it for our babies. Don’t forget how that baster made you impregnate.” He scoffs.

“Whatever he did, he never forced himself on me. He thought he could’ve, as he had all the rights, but he never did. He always protected me and my babies.” I shout at the top of my voice, and his clenching jaw does not go unnoticed by me.

“Who told you this?” He asked. His voice held the same tone as before, as if my raising my voice did not affect him.

“You told her this?” Turning his half body to my father, he asked him where he scoffed again and looked at the other side.

“Darling, she guessed it. He did not say anything,” Elliana said cunningly.

I understood Ivan did not want me to know Sean was protecting me. And he did not like it even a bit. These three told me everything. And I am going to use this opportunity.

“Yes, he told me this. He even told me how he planned to bring this b*tch to my home. He also told me how Sean never let him succeed in his plan.” I looked directly into my father’s eyes and spoke proudly.

“Bitch,” I heard Eliana murmuring, but I did not bother to give her a glance.

“He might have protected you till now, but from now on I will protect you.” Ivan spoke, looking into my eyes.

How I wanted to stanch those eyes from his face and throw them in the sea.

“From now on, you only have me. Understand, baby girl?” Ivan spoke, coming close to me, and I backed my body away from his touch.

“No, she did not understand. But I will make her understand. Don’t worry.” I heard the voice and saw tears in my eyes, and a dam of emotion broke.
