Missing point..
She was pregnant... Bloody pregnant with my fathers baby.. I know she too is unaware about it. But the pain that I felt at that moment was unendurable . To watch the woman you are in love with carrying someone’s else’s baby.. Over the top.. If the child is of your father.. I was bloody related to the child in Alizeh's womb.. She is carrying my step sibling.. I hated every second of it.. William with Liz.. Was always a horrible thought for me.. And now this is breaking me into pieces.. I know William must have been physical with Liz.. But to have a proof of that.. Was so pathetic.. I can’t imagine Liz with William and now.. She is pregnant with his bloody child..
When the doctor said she was expecting and was three weeks pregnant, the ground beneath me suddenly disappeared.. I was shaken to the core.. Alizeh was pregnant, with none other than my fathers child.. Cause I was hell sure it isn’t my child. I and Liz did not had anything at that point of time to make her pregnant with my child..
It was dreadful to hear that, suppressing my hatred , I looked at the fragile frame of the woman I was in love with, lying all pale and vulnerable on the bed, I’m sure she doesn’t even has the idea of what is yet to come for her.
When all of a sudden she fainted, ignoring all my pain and hurt, I scooped her up in my arms, the same arm that was shot with a bullet a moment ago. But after the truth was out, the pain In my arms was nothing as compared to the one I was feeling deep inside my heart.
I was shattered, broken but I need to keep myself intact to take care of her. Eric on the other hand was also disturbed with the news.
Analysing the situation I asked him to go and take care of Emma. He wanted to hand her to the police but I asked him to get her help, cause to me she looked mentally disturbed. Her obsession with me was the reason of her violent action.
Eric after arguing With me for a while finally agreed. He said once Alizeh is conscious he will take care of the matter related to Emma.
I was initially fine with it, but his extra care and over possession for liz was always a bother for me. He has always tried to claim her in one way or another. But for now my major concern is Alizeh. How is she going to handle this news..
And my fear was damn at point. The way she reacted was the one I expected.
At first when she was conscious, she was concerned about my health, which was again making me fall in more love with her than I already was, but as soon as I revealed the last piece of truth.. Making my all fears alive she ran out of the room after stomping out of the bed in one go. Ignoring my calls, she ran straight for the kitchen.
And there when she held that bottle of sleeping pills in her hand.. Damnit...
I was right.. She never ever would want to be with William. All these times I doubted her for nothing. I thought she married him for money..but I was damn wrong..if she would have then I would not be viewing this sight of her trying to kill herself just because she was pregnant with his child... I was damn stupid to believe Christian back then.. I’ll never ever forgive myself for hurting her..
She was about to down the full bottle of pills in one go..
Gathering all my courage.. I screamed, standing at the kitchen door...
“liz.... I love you... More than I could ever tell you... I love you liz... Don’t do it... For me... Please... Don’t..”
I know I was looking all dumb doing that.. Eric and Rita were eyeing me like I was a ghost.. At least my stupid did diverted Liz’s attention towards me.. But for a fraction of seconds only..
She looked at me with something deep.. And then again.. She grabbed the bottle in attempt to kill her self.
I ran towards her.. And tried to snatch the bottle away..
“ stop it.. Liz.. What the hell are you doing didn’t you hear me.. Stop it.. It’s not a big deal Liz..” I tried to reason her out.. Cause now it was clear that when she told me , she was forced to marry William she wasn’t lying.. It was the gods honest truth.. But why the hell was she trying to kill herself just because she was pregnant with his child..
“ it is a big deal for me.. I can’t carry his child.. I don’t want to, don’t try to stop me..” she screamed at me..
“ Liz... Stop it.. Liz.. Why can’t you see.. I love you.. I swear to God... If anything happens to you.. I’ll die..” I said cupping her cheeks in my palms.. Looking her in the eye.. Trying to divert her attention from the bottle..
For a moment I thought she finally calmed down.. But no... !She pushed me right away..
“ don’t try to trick me Edward.. Why are you doing this now.. When all this time you too wanted to destroy me... Look at me....I’m very well destroyed.. Go on.. And celebrate your victory.. Finally the Henry men have destroyed me..” She said laughing wickedly..
And again tried to gulp the pills.. I was tired of her petulance.. Her words were still echoing In my ears.. Even after I confessed my feelings she still feels I’m trying to trick her..
Stomping towards her, I grabbed her arms.. And tried again to take that poison away.. But she was head strong not to leave.. It...And she started kicking me.. With no option left.. I did something.. I never ever did.. I laid hands on a woman.. I slapped her hard.. It was needed, required to bring her back.. Though I regretted doing it..but if her life is at stake then I won’t shy away from doing it again. She stumbled back due to the force, the bottle in her hands fell . All the pills were scattered on the kitchen floor..
Eric and Emma were looking at us.. Totally shocked..
I expected.. Liz. To slap me back.. And fight me and call me out for hitting her.. But to my surprise.. She didn’t reacted, I have never seen her this broken. My heart ached for her, Instead of slapping me back.. She squat down on her knees and started collecting the pills which were scattered on the ground.
Just repeating a sentence... “ I don’t wanna live.. I want to die.. I don’t wanna live.. I want to die..”
Watching her like this was so hurtful, I can’t even imagine, what she must have gone through cause of which she was acting like this..
Getting down on my knees, I tried to calm her down.. But she wasn’t listening.. Her cheeks were tears strained and red because of my slap..
I tried to talk to her but she won’t listen, she just kept collecting the pills..
“ Liz.. Look at me.. Talk to me... Liz.. What is so wrong.. You know you can get pregnant.. You are married to him.. Come on.. Liz.. We can get rid of it..” I was trying hard to bring her back.. I even mentioned her of sleeping with William.. Even a thought of William touching Liz.. Was dreadful.. And here she was pregnant with his child.. I hated all of it..
Still I tried to calm her down.. But when nothing worked.. I grabbed her arm and yanked her towards me forcefully and crashed my lips on her ,forbidding her from repeating those horrible words.. At first she restrained, but I didn’t ceased torturing her lips.. Finally she gave in.. And kissed Me back.. I was fully aware of Eric’s and Rita’s presence but I don’t give a damn for now.. All that matters is Liz... Slowly breaking the kiss.. I leaned and touched her forehead with mine.. Slowly inhaling her heavenly smell.. Drowning deep in her touch..
In low voice I said.. “ please come back to me... Please..”
All of a sudden.. She broke into cathartic crying..
Sobbing loudly.. She said.. In her crying voice..
“ I can’t be a mother to the child of the man who killed my mother...” crashing her sobbing body into my arms.. Engulfing me in a hug. She sobbed more and more...
What the bloody hell.. She said... ?
William Henry has killed her mother...
Bloody hell...! What the hell am I missing... In this story...?
