Chapter 48 - YOU DIDN'T HIT ANYONE

I am a demanding creature.

I am selfish and cruel and extremely unreasonable.

But I am your servant.

*******************   

"You are pregnant." Gael repeated his words, as he raised the test pack, which showed that Lise was pregnant, and was carrying his baby now.

Gael had mixed feelings when he found out about her pregnancy, but when he was sure that she was carrying his flesh and blood, there was nothing that he wanted more than to protect the two of them.

He wanted the two of them, they were his and this obsession only grew very bad in his system.

"We will go to the doctor," Gael said, but then shook his head. "No, I will have a doctor come here," he murmured to himself, trying to decide the best way to have Lise and the baby checked.

He leaned over and captured her lips. He kissed her so gently, whispered a few sweet words for her to hear, showing how much he wanted to see their child. He even admitted that he was curious whether the baby was boy or girl, but ended up deciding he didn't care about it. As long as the baby and she were fine, everything else didn't matter.

It sounded sweet and romantic, but the pain and mental abuse that he had put her through was too much for Lise to feel safe and comfortable around him.

His words didn't give her comfort. Instead, she felt her heart being torn apart, as she fought the urge to shove him away from her.

"What do you want to eat?" Gael asked, then jumped to his feet after ending the call with whomever doctor that he ordered to come to this house to look at Lise. "I will ask someone to make anything that you want."

But, Lise shook her head. "I don't want to eat anything," she said weakly. She didn't feel like she could digest anything.

"I know that you must have lost your appetite, but you have to eat for our baby." Gael then leaned over to cup her face between his palms. "I will ask them to make a few dishes and see if you get your appetite when you see it, okay?"

Lise felt very tired, she did nothing, but she felt exhausted. "Gael, I want to sleep," she said, pleading.

"Of course, you can sleep babe, but only after you eat something, you will not starve yourself and our baby." Gael made sure that Lise understood this. "If something happened to you or our baby, you will not like what I will do."

"Can you stop threatening me?" Lise put her hands over his, on both sides of her face. "Do you really love me?"

Gael narrowed his eyes. "I don't do love, babe." This was the same answer that he always told her. "Love is reckless. You will lose yourself in love. I own you, so you will always be mine to have. Nothing can take you away."

Gael loved once and when it left him, he swore, he wouldn't go through the same pain again. He didn't do love. He owned it.

"Someday," Lise began, her empty eyes staring into Gael's soul. She looked like someone, who had lost all hope in this world. "Something will take me away from you and you will have no power to say otherwise."

"There is no such thing." His grip on Lise's face tightened, but there was no change in her expression.

"Death will do us apart."

"Even death can't take you away from me."

"What happened to your face?" Blue tilted her head when she met Nikolai in the locker room, and saw his bruised face and cracked lips.

"I fell."

"Lie."

Nikolai averted his gaze from her and mumbled. "I fought someone yesterday."

"Why?"

He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and closed his locker door. "I don't know."

Blue grew silent, as she followed behind him. She knew that his last answer was also a lie, but she didn't press any further.

The two of them had a different class, but they were heading in the same direction, thus they walked together.

But, when they turned the corner, they fell into a tardy group. A bunch of older students were laughing way too loudly. Someone even deliberately bumped into Nikolai and made him trip on his own feet.

Nikolai would fall if it was not for Blue, who grabbed his arm to steady him in time.

"Sorry, I tripped you shorty," the boy sneered at him.

Blue knew this guy, he was two years older than them and was very annoying. A typical bad student, who loved to bully the weak.

"Wow! What happened to your face? Someone beat you?" he mocked Nikolai and the other five stupid boys laughed at that joke.

Blue wanted to smash living daylights out of him. She was tempted to do so.

"Do you want to end up like him?" Blue said coldly. She looked at the boys hard, as if she was going to tear them apart, which was not an impossible task for her to do.

"You better shut your mouth!" he snapped at Blue, but one of his friends came over to him and whispered something to his ear, which changed his expression.

The other people wouldn't be able to hear it, but Blue could. His friend told him that she was a McKeltar and better to not have any trouble with that family.

Therefore, the fight died out even before it started.

Those annoying boys walked out while sneering and mocking, but did nothing to provoke Blue and Nikolai further.

When you were in an elite school, your family name indeed mattered so much.

"You should be able to fight for yourself," Blue spoke to Nikolai, and looked at the boy with a frown.

"I just fought someone yesterday." He defended himself.

"You are a liar," Blue grumbled, she then pointed at Nikolai's knuckles. "You didn't hit anyone," she stated.
