“Don’t stop.” He was playing with me.

“What do you want, Ash?” he asked.

“I want you to be mine.”I looked at him, my face heating up, and he asked again, “How badly do you want it?”

“Badly, I want it so badly,” I say breathlessly.

He watched me for a good minute, then made me scream again.

He kissed me and held my hands. “I love you, Ashley Black,” he said, pulling me down flat on his body and kissing my forehead. “I love you too, Adrian Black.”

I paced the living room of our house waiting for my husband to come home. I have been sick these past few days from morning sickness, I went to the doctor today to confirm my suspicion and today he gave me the best news I have longed to hear for almost four years now. I know Adrian wants a child and after four years of struggling, we are finally going to be parents.

Hearing the door opening, I ran to the entrance of the house. He was later than usual and I was getting worried. He has been coming home later this entire week and being distant towards me and it's making me anxious.

“Adrian is that you?" I asked happily, but my smile immediately faded away as I saw a woman, and not just any woman but my twin sister accompanying him. He was laughing at something she said and I felt a pang of jealousy hit me when I noticed how intimate they were. I cleared my throat getting their attention. Adrian looks up at me with anger in his eyes while my sister throws me a glare.

What is she doing here and with Adrian?

Why is he angry at me? He looks down at Tonya and gives her a charming smile before he whispers in her ear then he pulls her closer to him.

What is going on? I thought my sister was in London with her fiancé.

He walks past me ignoring me as he leads Tonya up the stairs and I furrow my eyebrows in confusion.

Is this some kind of joke? Is he trying to make me mad? I knew the two of them were a couple when we were in high school but then she met Frank and ever since then they had only been friends.

I was angry and if that was what he wanted he achieved it no doubt. I look at the stairs hoping that all of this is just a bad dream but a few seconds later Adrian comes back.

"What is going on Adrian?" I screamed yes I am angry that he brought her into our house! He knows that Tonya and I don't get along and still, he has the cheek to bring her here. I don't trust her at all.

"Do you want to know, you tramp?" He spat coldly, he sounded furious but why I don't know.

"Yes, of course, please tell me?" I don't know what is going on and why he's calling me a tramp. I was his partner and his wife for the past four years. He was looking at me as if he wanted nothing more than to murder me.

"You accused your sister of having an affair! Fred left her yesterday and chased her away! You even went as far as to pay someone to molest her in her hotel room where you did a camera! How could you do something like that? I found out about your little affair myself and you know what you are nothing more than a tramp!" he yelled as I stood there shocked not knowing what he was talking about.

"What? Who did I pay someone to molest her? How could I do that if I didn't even know what hotel she was staying in Adrian? You know you get notifications when I use the card! I haven't seen her for a while! What affair are you talking about? I have never cheated on you!" I choked out, shocked, my voice breaking. This wasn't Adrian. This wasn't the man I loved for six years, this wasn't my husband.

"You wanted more, more and more! You are a gold-digging tramp and to think I felt for all your lies over the years. How can you do that to Tonya? She is your only family! How could you do that to me? I saw the transaction you made to an unknown account! You paid that person 1 million dollars!" He shouted and I gasped, how could he say that?

"What are you talking about Adrian?" I asked angrily.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" He shouts in my face as I take a step back. The Adrian I know has never raised his voice at me, let alone talked harshly to me.

"Did the two of you think I won't find out about your little secret? What did you want to steal my money while I was blindly in love with you? Tell me, tramp!" He shouts.

"Who is this he? What the heck are you saying? You're talking in riddles!" I asked loudly.

"You and your so-called gay best friend Jason! The two of you had been sleeping with each other behind my back!" he snarls at me.

"Do you even hear yourself? Jason is gay why would he lie about that!" I yelled.

"You are a pathetic tramp!" he said, rolling his eyes.

"I swear I didn't cheat on you," I said as tears fell down my face. I tried to hold it back but I failed miserably.

"Stop acting innocent. I know everything so do yourself a favor and stop lying!" He said.

"I didn't cheat!" I screamed then something happened that I never thought he would do. Adrian lifted his hand and smacked me hard across my face. And I knew it would leave a mark. I stood there shocked as tears rolled down my eyes. I had never thought that he would raise his hands to me since he knew all about my past.

Adrian's eyes went wide with shock but he quickly covered them with anger. My mouth was still open from the shock as I tried to say something but nothing came out, "From today on you are dead to me!"

I gasped and that’s all it took for me to run upstairs. I went to our room and closed the door. Once I heard the click of the door shut, I fell to the ground and let the tears come falling. I sobbed and pressed my hand to my heart. The hurt was brutal as if someone had just cut my heart out. It felt like someone was stabbing me with a knife and twisting it and I could feel a panic attack coming but I quickly got up and walked to the window for some fresh air.

I look at the moon as tears roll down my face then my hand finds its way to my stomach and I smile sadly. I'm sorry baby, I'm sorry I couldn't tell daddy about you. I know you will need a father growing up but you will have me, a mother who would love you, and do everything for you.

I walk to the closet and grab two empty suitcases. I filled them with my clothes, the only things I owned. All the jewels and furniture belonged to Adrian. I could never take the jewelry that he bought for me, the thought of him already pained me.

I quickly changed into ripped jeans, a black t-shirt, and my sneakers and fixed my hair. I looked around the room and smiled sadly. We designed the room together when we had just bought the house. Our wedding photo was still standing on the drawers. We looked happy, us against the world, the day we promised to be with each other through good times and bad times, the day I promised until death do us part but seems like Adrian didn't take his vows seriously. I took the photo and shoved it in my bag. I can't leave it here. This was the only thing I had from our happy day the day I married the love of my life.

"Are you done?" I heard a voice calling from the other side of the door, his voice filled the room, anger, and hatred clear in his voice. I wiped my tears, I had to be strong. I can do this. I had done it before I met him. I wiped my face again as I took in a big breath, taking my suitcase and taking one last look at the room where I had spent so many wonderful times, where I gave myself to him, where I doctored him when he was ill, where we made out endlessly and where we created our child. I shook my head to get rid of the images as I opened the door.

He looked at me with disgust as I felt my already broken heart shattered even more. He walked first and I followed him like a lost puppy. Once we were downstairs he handed me papers. I carefully took it as my heart began to beat fast. And once I saw what it was my breath got stuck in my throat.

Divorce papers!

I was in shock. I felt like I was having a nightmare that I would wake up from but I wasn't waking up. He handed me a pen and I looked at the place my signature must be and then something caught my eye, he already signed the papers.

"You will walk out of this marriage as you came into it, with only your clothes. You won't get a cent nor will you get a house or a car. Sign them and get lost." I fought back the tears as I signed the papers. And when I looked at him I almost gasped as I saw the hate he had as he looked at me.

"The day you realize you made a mistake it will be too late," I told him emotionless as I walked to the door. Just as I was about to step out I felt someone grabbing my arm hard making me whimper, "Why would I want someone as disgusting, hideous as you again? I'm glad I finally got rid of you. Why would I want to come running back to you Ash?" I felt my heart shattered into a million pieces as I heard him say those hurtful words.

"Please let go of my arm you're hurting me," I said in a weak voice and I could hear how broken I sounded.

He let go and looked at me, "Get out of my life! Good riddance to bad rubbish!" I looked at him shocked that he called me that. And when I looked at him I saw something maybe regretful. I took a step back and gave him one more look as if I was waiting for him to say it was all a joke. But nothing came and I turned around walking away from the man I love with all of my heart.

I didn't know what happened to Adrian. I never cheated on him with Jason, how could I? Jason and I had been friends since kindergarten. We grew up in the same Orphanage along with my sister. We were like peanut butter and jelly inseparable. We always had each other's back when the other kids would make fun of us for being orphans. Adrian knew that Jason was gay he had met so many lovers of Jason but he still believed that I cheated on him.

How could he think that I did something like that to Tonya? Did she plan all of this? Why did she have to come back into our lives? We were happy this morning.

I walked in the streets not sure where to go since Jason was out of town to take photos and I only had two hundred dollars with me, not enough to get me someplace decent for the night until I could figure out where to go. I walked further, not sure where to go. The wind blew making the night light cold, the dark night with the stars was there with me as the moon shone down on me.

My face and arm hurt from the pain I had suffered from Adrian. I felt tears roll down my face as I recalled the slap he gave me. We were completely fine this morning and now I was homeless and my husband hated me. How can this be possible?

After walking for more than an hour I got tired not knowing what to do or where to go. I decided to rest a little by sitting on the sidewalk. I didn't have any family and my best friend is out of town. Sandra? Yes, maybe I can go over to Sandra.

I got up and prayed that a taxi would drive by and luckily about minutes later a taxi stopped. I gave him the address and after some time we reached her place. I got out and walked to her apartment after paying the driver. I rang the bell and Sandra opened it looking at me with a frown, "Ashley?" she asked as soon as she saw me.

"What are you doing here?" Where is Adrian?" she asked looking around to check for him.

"I.. I," I couldn't talk as tears rolled down my face.

"What happened to you, Ash?" I heard her concerned voice but I couldn't bring myself to say the words that would haunt me for the rest of my life.

"Let's get you inside," she says opening the door further and letting me go in.

We walked to the kitchen where she handed me a glass of water, "Ash did something happen to Adrian?"

I shook my head no and then I looked her in the eyes as more tears flowed down my face, "I… I lost him," I sobbed as she looked at me confused.

"What do you mean you lost him?"

I wiped my tears trying my best to explain to her what went down tonight. What he accused me of and what he called me.

"That idiot! How can he believe that snake!" She yelled as soon as I finished telling my story.

"How can he accuse you of something like that? He is an idiot to believe that you and Jason would do those things to him and Tonya!"

"I don't know but I have never seen him this angry before," I sobbed once again.

"Oh, honey come here," she said as she wrapped her arms around me.

"Honey I'm home," I heard Cassady's voice coming from the doorway but as soon as she saw me she looked concerned.

"What's wrong Ash?" Cassady asked as she ran over to me.

"Your nephew," Sandra growled as she pushed the table.

I bolted up after reliving one of our memories looking around the room hoping that all of this was just a bad dream but when I saw that I was not in our room I slum back on the bed and cry, "You lied!" I sobbed.

"You promised me it would be the two of us against the world!"

"You promised me that nothing would come between us!"

I allowed myself to cry some more before I got up and noticed there were clothes on the bed knowing Sandra must have put them there.

I got up and went to the bathroom. I took a shower and brushed my teeth before heading to the kitchen where I saw Sandra busy making breakfast. I usually eat breakfast but today I just don't have an appetite at all.

"Good morning Ash."

"Morning Sandy," I say, giving her a small smile.

"I hope you slept well," she asked, looking at me concerned.

"Yup," was all I could reply. I can't say I slept like a log because that would be a lie I was crying all night until I fell asleep.

"Sit, I made us some breakfast," she said as she placed a plate in front of me.

"I'm not hungry but thank you," I declined.

"Ash you need to eat something you didn't eat last night," Sandra begins but I quickly stop her.

"I'm not feeling well but I would love a cup of coffee though."

"You have to eat something, Ash," Sandra pleaded but I just shook my head. I can't even stand the smell of the eggs without throwing up. They still don't know I'm carrying a child.

I stood up and I suddenly felt dizzy. I tried to balance myself by holding on to the counter but it was in vain. I just heard Sandra's voice before falling into darkness.

I woke up in a small room and judging by the smell I guess I was in the hospital. I looked around and saw Sandra sitting on the chair.

"Ash you are awake!" Sandra says as she grabs my hand.

"I'm good, what happened?"

"You have fainted so I rushed with you to the hospital," She says as she looks at me.

Oh, no, my baby!

"Ash, are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine we can go now," I say with a fake smile.

"The doctor is on his way, take it easy," Sandra says as she holds me down but I knew I had to get out of there before the news of my having a baby came out.

I was just about to stand up again when the doctor came in, "Good morning Mrs. Black I am Dr. Finley how are you feeling?"

I gave him a tight smile, "I'm better thank you."

"What's wrong with her?" Sandra asks and I feel my hands getting wet from clutching the bed.

"There is no problem at all, she needs to take care of herself from now on," he smiled as Sandra looked at him with a frown.

"What do you mean Dr?"

"Mrs. Black is two months having baby she needs to take vitamins and stay away from stress," Sandra looked at me without blinking not believing her ears, "Oh, my God."

"Ash, you are carrying a child! I'm going to be an aunt!" Sandra yells, smiling like an idiot.

I just nodded my head unsure of how to reply to her but luckily the Dr saved me, "Yes, Mrs. Black is eight weeks childbearing. She needs to make an appointment with a gynecologist for the monitor after you settle the formalities."

The doctor left the room and I knew I had some explaining to do, "Oh, Ash you have to tell Adrian maybe he will forget about everything that has happened between the two of you, and maybe he will realize that Tonya lied," She said and I looked at her like she had gone mad.

"I don't think it's such a good idea, Sandy," I say looking at my stomach.

"Nonsense, come let's go I will take care of the bill then we can go to his house to tell him the good news," she says as she helps me out of the bed.

We arrived at Adrian's mansion and Sandra nodded at me to go in, "I will wait for you to tell him the good news," she smiled.

I walked as quickly as my shaking legs could carry me into the house. I knew he must be in his office because he always did that when he was angry. Taking the steps one by one I encouraged myself to walk as soon as I reached the door I heard giggles inside, and with shaky hands, I opened the door only to get shocked by the scene in front of me. I couldn’t get myself to look away and I felt my heart break into a million pieces.

There was my husband in all his glory with the Tonya as last in a compromised position a gasp left my mouth and as soon as Adrian's eyes met mine they filled with anger.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you last night that you are dead to me?" he growled as he walked angrily toward me after he let go of the girl.

"I... I wanted to talk to you."

"I don't care if I get lost! I don't have anything to discuss with you!" he snapped, taking me by the arms and pulling me to the front door.

"Give me just two minutes, that's all I'm asking," I pleaded.

He looked at me with disgust, "Speak," he spit out angrily.

I took a big breath, "I'm having a baby."

He looked me straight in the eyes without a word. I saw his face change but not in a good way and he suddenly approached me and slapped me hard. I didn't have time to react when he grabbed me by the hair and I screamed out in pain.

"You don't have any shame do you?" he yelled as he pushed me, making me fall on my backside.

I stare at Adrian and he looks at me with anger and disgust.

"This is your baby I promise you," I sobbed, not caring if he saw me.

"You expect me to believe you? To believe that that child is mine? This is low even for someone like you, Oh but wait you are nothing but a gold-digging tramp now you want to use that child as a way to get money from me? Go find the guy responsible because I won't fall for your tricks."

I stayed on my spot looking at him as tears flowed down my cheeks as I heard what he thought of me.

"That... That is what you think of me? That I'm a tramp?" I asked, wiping the tears off my cheeks.

"Yes, now get off my property and go find some other one to fall for your scams."

He looked at me with a murderous look as he whispered in my ear, "I hope you and your child make it without my money. Poor kid doesn't know his mother is a tramp."

He let go of me and the instant that I was loose I slapped him.

"My child as you call it will be just fine," I spat at him before walking to the door, leaving a shocked Adrian behind.

Then I turned around, "Don't come begging for forgiveness later because it will be too late!"
