Tina's eyes blinked rapidly as she fought hard to grasp the reality of everything that was happening. Did Drayton go behind her back and got married to another woman.Tina bit her lips bitterly as she felt the last love she had for this man dwidle away. She simply couldn't find any words in her mouth to explain how she felt, so she walked past Drayton making her way to her room but Drayton snatched her wrist and dragged her towards him.
"Where do you think you are going? He questioned her, but Tina didn't utter a word she tried to wiggle her hand out of his grip but it was futile, she was no match for his musculine frame. "Let go of me." She said between gritted teeths. "Where do you think you are going, I am married to Debbie you can't stay in this house." Tina finally managed to break out of his grip and pointed her index finger at Drayton.
"Now listen to me." She started off with a cold gaze. "You don't have any right to kick me out of this house, I am still legally married to you so I have as much right as she does to stay here." Tina said breathlessly. She was going to tolerate his nonsense but that didn't give him the right to do as he please. Right now she was hurting, she wanted to run to her room and scream her lungs out to relieve the surging pain in her chest.
"You are just pathetic! Drayton retorted.
"I never knew you would stoop so low as to cling to me because of my affluence." He said in a disgusted manner but Tina didn't care about what he had to say. She was carrying his baby, and she needed to let him know but not in front of this woman, he calls a wife. She tried to walk out of Drayton but someone bumped into her blocking her path.
She staggered backwards frantically, trying to gain her balance. "Where do you think you are going? Debbie questioned with a fierce gaze. "I won't let another woman share my marital home with me, you have to leave! She said spitefully but Tina shot her a dagger gaze. "You are the other woman not me." She said turning to face her.
"Out of my way! She pushed past Debby. She didn't care about sharing this house with another woman, right now she needed a roof over her head, her health was very important, because the slightest mistake could affect her unborn child. She still couldn't believe Drayton wanted to get rid of her that fast, he was so impatient that he bought another one to her home.
Tina felt tears clouding her eyes but her thoughts were disrupted when, Debby caught her by the wrist and spinned Tina back to where she stood. She didn't stop there, she slapped her across the face. "Slam! It echoed in the colossal living room. Tina felt her head spinning from the slap and she almost lost her balance and fell.
Five finger mark was imprinted on her left cheek as it became swollen. How dare she harass me in my own home! Tina fumed inwardly, she forgot about the fact that she was pregnant, she pounced on Debby and started slapping her across the face multiple times. All Debby could do was scream under the weight of Tina helplessly, as Tina dug her sharp finger nails into her face.
When Drayton saw this, he quickly rushed to where they were and pulled Tina away from Debby, pushing her violently away and staggered and fell heavily on her stomach. She screamed in pains as the thought of her baby getting hurt ran through her mind. She gazed at Drayton and saw that he was helping Debby to stand on her feet but he left her in this condition.
"This woman is a beast, get her out of here! Debby yelled in tears, stomping her feet on the floor. When Drayton saw the scars that had been imprinted on Debby's face he became greatly annoyed. Security! He yelled and immediately some security guards rushed in. Pointing at Tina he said....."Throw this woman out of this place and never let her in again." His words baffled Tina. Was he really going to push her away for the sake of this woman.
Immediately the security picked Tina up, she became sorrowful as her eyes whelmed up with tears. Please don't do this, I am pregnant." She finally released the bombshell, she was expecting Drayton to be smiling from ear to ear but the indifference she saw on his face made her astonished.
"Really? He said with sacarsm and Tina nodded desperately. "You are the most pathetic woman I have ever come across, do you really think we are fools? Debby questioned with contempt but Tina wasn't paying any attention to her, her focus was on Drayton he was the father of the child, his action mattered. "Are you really trying to lie to my face right now? He hissed mercilessly, all of a sudden his hatred for the woman standing in front of him amplified.
" No, no, no...I am telling the truth you have to believe me, the pregnancy test papers are in the drawer in my room." Tina was having a hard time explaining herself. "Get her out of here! Drayton roared and turned to walk away. Tina broke away from the guards grip and ran after him, crouching on the floor she held on to Drayton's leg tightly.
"Please don't do this....." She didn't finish her sentence before a painfully kick went right into her stomach. Tina's eyes bulged as she clutched her stomach tightly. She groaned in pain as she watched as the guards dragged her out of the mansion, to the gate and locked her out. She was still panting heavily as her stomach gnawed with unbearable pain, she curled up at the corner in front of the gate as tears trimmed down her eyes.
"Just then she felt something trickling down her legs, she glanced at her leg and what she saw made her face distorted. Blood! She shrieked in fear and quickly rosed to her feet. With big strides she dashed to the street and quickly flung down a taxi, as she made her way to the hospital.
By the time she got there, her dress was como soaked with blood, whoever saw her would think she was dying slowly. Tina felt extremely weak and dragged herself into the hospital building, immediately one of the female nurses sighted her and became alert. She was just in time, because the next minute Tina slumped on the floor, and fainted. She had already lost a lot of blood and was fortunate to have made it to the hospital.
The nurse quickly rushed her to the ward, and soon Tina was placed under a drip, she was in dial need of a blood transplant.
...
The beeping sound of the machine beside the hospital bed was the only noise Tina could hear as she slowly regained consciousness. Her eyes slowly flattered open, but her vision was a bit blurry, she tried to rearrange her thoughts but felt a slight headache.
Suddenly everything came rushing in, she finally remembered how she ended up here, she remembered vividly how Drayton ordered the guards to throw her out of the mansion. Tina's heart ached as she felt her body throbbing with raw pain, the pain was coming from in between her legs.
Just then a nurse walked in, immediately the nurse saw that Tina was awake she became elated. "Madam you are awake? She sounded amused. All the doctors had almost given up on Tina, there was no one to transfer blood to her body, as the hospital couldn't find a suitable donor. It was a miracle that Tina was still alive.
"How long have I been in here? Tina hoarse voice was barely audible. "Three days." The nurse said and rushed out of the room to call a doctor. She came back with the doctor and he did some check ups and confirmed that Tina was finally recovalensing. "You case is truly a miracle." The doctor commended.
Tina felt her energy emasculating, did the doctor add a sedative to the drip? Just then something clicked in Tina's mind. "My baby." She said incoherently, immediately she said and that the countenance of the doctor changed. "Is my baby okay? Tina asked, a glimpse of hope glittering in her brown hazel eyes.
The female nurses, who was holding a silver tray containing some surgical tools, flashed a glance at the doctor before fixing her gaze on Tina. "I am sorry ma'am, you lost the child." Immediately the nurse said that Tina slumped on the bed in shock, her pulse rate on the machine increases as unshed tears glistered in her eyes. "No, no this can't be! Tina screamed as the tears trickled down her face, she had waited for five years, five good years before she finally got a child, and now...it was gone.
Tina broke down in tears, clutching her stomach tightly, "My baby! She mummered, sniffing uncontrollably. The nurse opened her mouth to say something but got a ominous glare from the doctor to keep quiet, but it was too late, Tina had already noticed their silent communication.
"You are hiding something from me." She said choking in her own tears, her eyes were red. "Don't you dare hide anything from me, you had better start talking." She warned forehand, it was better to receive all the bad news they had for her at once, than to be fed by it slowly and keep breaking her.
What could be worse than loosing your unborn child? Tina thought to herself. "Speak! She shrilled as she tried to wipe her tears away but they won't stop. The nurse sighed heavily, she had to finish what she had started.
"You will never be able to give birth again."
