Ruins of Our Love #wattys2015

Chapter 36

James and Collins rushed in to break the two men apart. A nurse helps me off the ground. He pushed you to the ground when you are pregnant, Alexa. Think about that.

"Stay away from my wife, Carter!" Stephan shouts at Daniel.

Daniel shouts back, "It's not like you love her anyway,"

"Guys! Stop it! Don't make a scene in here," I cut in, really mad about these two acting so childish.

I put a protective hand over my tummy, hoping Stephan won't lash at me back. Daniel meets my eyes and then his eyes travel to my hand over my stomach. His green eyes widen. He knows now.

Stephan grips my arm tightly, "We're going home,"

"If you hurt her, Grant. I'll kill you," Daniel glares at Stephan.

"She's my wife. I'll do what I will. Stay out of it." Stephan glares back. I try to pull my arm away from Stephan's grip. But his grip is too tight. This is not good. He might just kill you when you get home. My subconscious warns me.

Without another word, Stephan drags me out of the hospital. James and Collins trailing behind us. I took one last glance at Daniel. I noticed his lips mouthing the words, "Be careful," before Stephan shoved me in the backseat of the car.

"What was that?!" Stephan yelled at me in the car.

I looked down at my fingers, afraid of my husband, "I wasn't doing anything. I ran into him on my way to the toilet,"

"Stay away from him," Stephan says coldly.

I smirk, "You already played a huge part in keeping me away from him," If Stephan didn't propose, I'd be with Daniel right now.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Stephan glares at me.

"Nothing," I shake my head and glanced out the window, wanting nothing more than to disappear into thin air.

Stephan holds my chin roughly to face him, his menacing glance bore into my eyes, "If I catch you with another man, you're in huge trouble, Alexa,"

"Jealous much, Grant?" I lash at him.

He glares at me and grips my wrist, "Stephan! Let me go! You're hurting me!" I shout at him.

"Don't talk rudely, Alexa. You've broken enough rules today," Stephan warns me.

Before I could reply, we've arrived back home and I got out of the car as soon as we stop at the lobby. Stephan follows me, I can hear his footsteps fast towards me.

I stop my tracks and turn around to face my infuriating,controlling husband. "Go ahead. Whip me with your belt! I don't care!" I yell at him.

He clenches his jaw and takes a step towards me. Immediately his height towers over mine, "You've seen nothing yet, Alexa," he smirks.

"I don't get it Stephan. I'm here because you think of me as a toy, an accessory. Why do you have to be so jealous when obviously, I'm wearing your ring on my finger?!" I lash coldly at him.

Stephan doesn't say anything. He simply clenches his jaw. I continue, "You don't even love me. You hurt me continuously and repeatedly. I actually thought I could fall for you. During our honeymoon, you were so kind and gentle. Now you're a monster," I say sadly.

"Alexa, I.. look, I'm sorry, okay? I have rules for a reason. I need to know you are safe," before Stephan could continue, his phone rings and he picks it up.

Stephan's eyes change. His eyes are wide, as if he is in shock after the conversation on the phone.

"What? What's happened?" I ask.

Suddenly, out of nowhere Stephan shouts in anger. He moves towards me looking like he is about to attack me. What the..? Now, I'm terrified.

"Stephan? What are you doing?" I tremble.

Stephan's eyes are cold and demeaning. "Ever since you got here every single thing in my life has been messed up. My work, my love life. Now, my father. You bitch!" he shouts at me.

*thump*

I am thrown against the wall. I groan in agony, feeling like every single bone in my body is crushed. My helpless body falls to the cold marble floor. Help!

"Mrs Grant!" Sylvia appears out of nowhere. She must've heard my scream. "Mr Grant, please stop this. She is with a child, sir," Sylvia steps in front of me, preventing Stephan from moving towards me.

"She killed my father, Sylvia! I have to punish her for that!" Stephan shouts. I didn't kill anyone! Why does it always have to be my fault? Tears spring out of my eyes as he says this. Joseph died. I guessed.

He pushes Sylvia from his path and walks towards me. He bends down to where I lay on the ground. I covered my stomach protectively.

"Because of you, bitch, my beloved father died. If I weren't so busy making sure you didn't cause any trouble, perhaps he would be alive right now," his cold words seep through my bones.

'You killed my only son!' My mother's words rang through my ears. I am sobbing now, in pain and agony.

No.. please.. mom, I didn't kill him. My eyesight is fuzzy. All I see is my mother gripping my arms till they bled, her yells of anger towards me. No, I can't do this anymore. Please.. let me die already. Please..

I can't breathe. Panic attack again. My breathing is chaotic. "Please.. help me.. I can't breathe," I say in-between gasps of trying to catch a breath.

"Mrs Grant! Mrs Grant! Stay with me!" I hear Sylvia's voice calling me. "Sir, she's having a panic attack!" Sylvia shouts to Stephan, I think. Black spots start to appear in my eyesight. The familiar dizziness before passing out appears next.

No response from Stephan. He really wants you gone. I guess this is it. You're gonna die in the hands of a monster.

Okay,this is short I know. I have practically no inspiration or motivation to write right now. Sorry guys.. and no, the story is not over yet. I'm just sleepy right now.. hehehe :3 Sorry if you guys expected more from me.. please, if you have any ideas, lemme know! xoxo EllaJ
