Chapter 4 If you care for her, you can have her!

MELISSA

Sitting in my room all day was suffocating and excitement bubbled all over my body just thinking about how I'll soon be free.

I decided to take in the cool evening breeze outside in the field. I stood up, supporting myself with one hand as I let my feet carry me outside my room.

I walked through the hallway slowly, my eyes darting around the building, seeing that I wouldn't be here for much longer.

"Yes sir" I heard a moan coming from Blake's room, I moved faster this time.

"Fuck... You're so much more better than that whore Melissa" I suddenly stopped in my tracks, hearing Blake say that. He was sleeping with one of the maids again.

My chest tightened, anger taking over, I rushed inside the room. The door was unlocked as usual.

"Ah..yes... Mr Blake... Argh" I heard the maid moaning, I was already in the room, she was on top of him, riding him like the slut she is.

She bolted up the moment she saw me, covering herself with the blanket.

"M... Mrs Melissa" she stammered.

"You really do have no shame Blake" I said turning my gaze from the bed to Blake still lying on the bed.

He stood up immediately, covering his puny dick, "who said you could come into this room?" He growled.

"You're my husband and I'm your wife" I blurted out. "Do you really have no respect for me?"

"Respect? Respect... for you?" He scoffed.

"Get out of my room" he yelled, my breath hitch, unable to move, tears already threatening to spill, I was filled with embarrassment, but this wasn't the first time, but it certainly would be the last.

His patience wore thin as he raised his hand up to hit my face,

"Don't you dare" a voice snapped, stopping him, I turned back to see Oliver, Blake's twin.

"Mind your business brother" Blake said dropping his hand.

"Shameful" he glared at the maid in the room and she sped out with the blanket, dropping her head down.

"How can you hit a pregnant woman? Someone pregnant with your child?" Oliver asked in disgust.

"Oh please Oliver, take your innocence somewhere else, and if you so much as care for her, you could have her" Blake spewed. His words like venom to my heart.

I sighed in disbelief and walked out the room, soon enough I'll be out of here.

As I found my way to the field, I passed through some maids, I could hear their whispers, spewing rubbish about me.

'look at her'

'she has no shame'

'how could she still stay in this house with that pregnancy?'

'is it even for master Blake?'

'i feel nothing but pity for her'

I heard them say, but it didn't matter much to me anymore, it was something I was used to, and why waste time on disrespectful maids.?

I sat on the park bench on the field, the cool evening air soothing the pain still lingering from Blake's words.

Thinking about my escape alone was bringing me peace. I wondered if Mrs Rose would be able to get the cash this night while she tidies the room. My hand absentmindedly touched my stomach, stroking it gently.

As I sat there calculating all my plans, what I would use the money for, I spotted Oliver walking across the field. I thought I should thank him for saving me earlier.

"Sir Oliver!" I called out to him, standing up from the bench, moving as fast as I could.

I gasped as I reached him, my breath caught in my throat. He said nothing, just carefully studied me.

"I just wanted to say thank you for earlier" I said still trying to steady my breath.

"No it's fine Melissa" he responded already turning away to leave.

"No really, I really do appreciate it" I said grabbing his hand lightly.

He quickly pulled his hand away from mine, almost rough,

"You don't think I actually care about you, do you? He asked sarcastically. "I just have a thing against hitting women, especially not someone in your... condition"

"Oh, I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you" My voice wavered as I lowered my head turning back to go sit back down on the bench.

As I moved away I could feel his gaze burning into my back but I ignored it. By the time I got to the bench to sit, he was gone and I was relieved.

For once I thought someone in this family cared for me, but I was wrong, very wrong.

Soon, all of this emptiness that I feel would be gone. I thought back to my father, why couldn't he come for me? Did they think I was lying when I said this place was hell on earth?

As I slowly drifted in thought I heard Mrs Rose call for me. She sat on the bench with me, holding my hand lightly.

"I got the stashes of cash, it's in your room" she said excitedly.

"Really? Thank you so much Mrs Rose" I said pressing her hand softly.

"When I leave, I hope you don't forget about me" I said giving her a small smile.

"I would never dear" she smiled. "Soon you'll be free, give that little one alot of kisses for me when he arrives" she chuckled.

"I will"

We both sat there for a while, before she decided to retire inside, she told me where she hid the stash in my room. She urged me to go inside with her as it was already getting dark and chilly outside, but I convinced her to let me stay a while.

After sitting there for too long, scrolling through my phone, old pictures of myself, smiling sincerely. Scrolling through the net for some baby things and house hold materials.

I decided to stretch my legs a bit, going to the back gate to see if it was locked, luckily it wasn't locked, this would be my escape route, I had to make sure that everything was in order.

I turned back to go to my room to rest for the night, that was when I saw him. Blake, close to the cave leading to their mines. He was talking to an unfamiliar person.

A tall, dark skinned man, looking like he's not from around here, bald, seems to be in his forties was standing close to Blake.

I moved closer to hear what they were talking about.

"Are you sure this is the whole company's documents?" The bald man asked taking a large file from Blake.

"Yes, that's all of it, trust me" Blake replied nodding his head. "So when do I get my money?" He asked the man.

Then the bald man opened a small office bag and handed him a cheque.

"That old man has no idea what's in store for him, he's going to loose his company just like that and I'm going to run away with the woman I want" Blake said again.

I took my hands to my mouth in shock, covering my mouth.

Was Blake selling his father's company?
