Chapter 2
After wondering around the city for who knows how long, I finally mustered up the courage to go back to the
house | once considered my hforever. The hthat | shared so eagerly with my soon- to- be ex-husband.
The car that carriedto the place | would soon depart from was one assigned for my own personal use by
Dante. Jeffrey, my assigned chauffer, knew that something was horribly wrong but he never dared to ask. Aside
from small glances through his rear- view mirror, he merely focused on the road and wordlessly carried us back
to the house so | could retrieve my things.
My head rested against the cool leather seat as | replayed the scene of this morning over and over in my head. |
still couldn't believe that this was happening. That Dante would do such a thing after all that we had shared as a
married couple. Of course, we were not married under normal circumstances but we had shared more than
stranger would dare to share. Dante loved to blme for the scandal that lead to our marriage but | had
nothing to do with it.
A pain pierced my chest as | willed myself to make peace with all that was happening but | couldn't. | loved
Dante more than anything in the world and just this morning I couldn't stop envisioning the life that we were
about to have with the blessing of a child coming our way but it was a life | would have to live alone.
The car approached the large black gates and the warm feeling of hno longer lingered. Jeffrey steered us
down the open gates and on to the paved driveway until we cto a complete halt in front of the large
mansion. | undid my seat belt while Jeffrey held the door open forand just as | stepped out and squinted my
eyes from the onslaught of the sun above, my eyes focussed on the mess that was in front of me.
There stood Pheobe at the open entrance of the house with an array of my possessions. in her grasp. One hand
held the items whilst her other hand grabbed greedily at the pile before launching it out and over the front steps.
Anger bubbled withinat the audacity and sheer bitterness of this woman. She had Dante. She had won.
Couldn't she see it? There was no need for her to humiliateany further yet here she was.
“Ah, if it isn’t the star of
farewell gift to offer your show. I've been waiting for you. | thought what better of a
than a helping hand to send you on your way.” She mocked as
she tossed the last of my clothes in to the air.
“It would have been better if | hadn't seen your face at all.” | retorted but she grinned gleefully at my reaction,

felt even more humiliated than | already had been.
My legs moved through the sea of my things on the lawn which | didn’t care to gather just yet. When |
approached the doorway, Pheobe blocked my path.
“Where do you think you're going?” She raised a brow atlike she was the owner of
this house.
| glared at her resisting the urge to scratch her face with my slightly long nails. “To gather my things and leave
so | do not have to suffer another day or seeing your face.” The words squeezed themselves through clenched
teeth and her nostril twitched.
“That won't be necessary, dear sister.” She said in a sweet fake tone when | knew she tookas anything but.
After all, we were only step- sisters. “I already took the liberty of leaving all your things at your feet.” She
motioned to my thrown out clothes.
“Get out of my way right now, Pheobe.” My voice rose as octave but her face had grown determined.
“The place that you remember no longer exists. This house is now for Dante and | to share and celebrate our
endless love. It was alwaysthat he loved. It was and always will be me. You were just dumb enough to
believe otherwise. Dante lovesmore than anything in the world. It the very reason he is able to toss you out
so easily. He would do anything for me.” She gloated and | hated hearing it.
It was like stingy, course salt being pressed and rubbed against my open wounds. It burned, stung, and outright
wanted to makescream in pain.
| swallowed the lump that had been forming on my throat before bringing my attention back to the she- devil
that stood in front of me.
“That sounds like you're trying to convince yourself more than me.” | mocked and chuckled enjoying the look
that overcher expression.
“You bit ch. Do you think-" Her words caught at the back of her throat when her devious orbs lowered to my
hand.
Shit.
| quickly tried to hide the pregnancy report but it was too late because she had already
seen it.
“What do we have here?” | stepped away but her hand had already grasp the papers. before she yanked it out of
my hold.
“It is nothing that concerns you.” | reached for the papers but she moved away enough for her to read the
report.

Pheobe’s cyes had widened the size of saucers before she looked atover the edge of the report. A whirlwind
of emotions crossed her face but her eyes were filled with fury and jealousy.
“It is a good thing that Dante is divorcing you so he wouldn't have to father the child of another.” She said but
her words were weak.
“It is Dante’s child, Pheobe. Just because you refuse to except it-"
“It means nothing. Your child will be born a b astar d.” She yelled and | could no longer contain my anger.
As if on its own accord, my hand raised in the air before launching at her until | slapped her. Pheobe yelped but
she overcthe shock of what had just happened faster than | expected. A loud growl left her throat before
Pheobe pushedwith force too stron forto recover from.
A scream escaped my I*ps and my hand reached out to grab on to something, anything, but it was too late. My
b*dy tumbled down the steps until | landed on the hard paving with my head hitting the ground first.
Pain shot through my entire b*dy as | tried to regain the air knocked out ofbut my head felt like a bounder

| tried to move, to get back on to my feet, but my entire b*dy was numb and motionless, refusing to cooperate
withat all.
“Take this as a warning!” Pheobe muttered in a chilling tone. She was now hovering over me, her eyes laden with
hatred. “If you ever show your face here again you will meet even worse consequences.” She warned and just
when | thought she took a step away from my limp b*dy to leave, she did something far worse than | could ever
imagine.
“Ugh!” Pheobe grunted in her rage. | watched in horror as she pulled her pointed heeled covered foot back
before launching it forcefully right in my stomach.
| screamed as the pain shot through my abdomen and | cried out as a thousand thoughts raced through my
mind. My hand reached to cradle my stomach but it felt like | was paralyzed.
“I want you to remember this moment. Never forget how weak and at my mercy you are.” She crouched down
and | flinched but her hand already balled up tightly in hair.

“Pheobe, p- please.” | begged not wanting any further harm to be caused to the life within me.
“Just because you're pregnant doesn’t mean Dante will change his mind. He lovesmore than you can even
imagine. He doesn’t care about what happens to you or your little ba st ard.” She whispered bitterly through
tightly clenched teeth.
She threwa final scathing look as | lay whimpering in pain before she swung around with a huff. Her heels

before | knew it, my vision got blurry until | could not longer keep it open.
The last thing | remember was everything turned black before I, too, succumbed to the darkness.
