VICTORIA FOX-
"Are we ready, Mrs. Riverwood?" I felt Aaron's arms snake around my waist as he hugged me from behind while I got ready for Elizabeth's pregnancy party.
"Yep almost..." I answer as I wear my earrings and breathe in, even though Aaron is my husband, I still get butterflies even with the slightest touch. The fact that I am engulfed in his arms makes me feel like I am still a teen and day dreaming about him.
I was also very nervous about Benjamin being at the party, more nervous about the fact that Aaron has lost all his patience and now would definitely beat him up without any restraints. No one can stop a 6'3 man of pure muscle. I really hope Nathan and Landon are going to be around the party all the time, because I am genuinely concerned about Aaron actually murdering Benjamin.
"So are you ever going to legally change your name? Just asking." He asked as he looked at me up and down in my baby pink gown, I felt like a princess. I really hope he likes how I look, by look on his face I can tell that he does.
"No, I won't be changing it legally or otherwise. I have worked hard to earn recognition for my name, I won't change it." I say and he smiles at me while nodding his head, "But I don't mind being called Mrs. Riverwood." I say and his face lightens up.
"I also don't mind it if you call me Mr. Victoria Fox." He says as he chuckles before pulling my body close to his.
Fuck.
"By the way, now that we are talking about it, you know our child is going to get my last name too right?" I asked him with concern and I saw confusion sprawled across his face. I really don't want to have an argument about this.
"Like Amelia Fox-Riverwood? I love it!" He exclaims with a bright smile on his face and hugs me tight almost suffocating me.
"Okay! You have to open up to the idea that we might have a boy. Nathan has finally come to terms with it, you might as well too." I say and he groans at the thought.
"Daughters are more understanding, compassionate and expressive. I know for a fact that when I grow old, my daughter would be there right by my side. You tell me, how many times Landon and I visit our parents." I put my hands up in defeat, I just can't have this argument anymore.
"Maybe you should just meet your parents more often?" I say as I end the conversation but he doesn't let me finish.
"Victoria please don't change the subject." He whines and I laugh, in our equation I have always been the one who acts like the kid, but it's nice to see the roles changing sometimes.
"So Amelia, you've already decided a name?" I ask him with surprise and he kind of gives me a cute boyish smile, "Yeah, I love Amelia Earhart, maybe she will also become a pilot."
I laugh as I didn't have words. I had no clue Aaron actually thought about our future so much, "I am actually kind of surprised that you've thought about kids and stuff." I state as we head out towards the car.
"I actually had completely given up after Katrine left me, and I was scared that someone might leave me again, but these couple of months have been life changing so.. Yeah I guess all those suppressed dreams have resurfaced again because I know you won't leave me." Aaron breathed out as he spoke, I rubbed his back and kissed him lightly on his lips.
"I am not going anywhere, Aaron."

Later (at the party)
"So Victoria, I actually expected you to get pregnant before Elizabeth as you've been married for almost 6 years now!" I nodded quietly, as Aaron's parents stood in front of me, tired that I've already heard this question five times now. We weren't exactly close but we didn't dislike each other either. Maybe it's because I never really spent any time with them, also his mother is a very successful business woman, and she barely has any time. I sometimes feel bad for Aaron. My mother would drop everything in her hands if I wanted her here.
Aaron's parents liked to live their separate life, but they sure loved Aaron more than anything.
"I've just been so busy with work, I feel like when my baby comes I need to be there for him or her 100% So Aaron and I decided to have kids, after we are both well settled in our careers." I state and she nods her head at me as she smiles.
"Excellent, you should only have kids when you are financially and emotionally ready, because it is a big responsibility." I nod as we agree with each other and make more small talk when Aaron and Jake approach me with a nervous smile.
Oh god, please no!
I WANT A BREAK FROM DRAMA!
"Mom, dad… I need to talk to Victoria for a second." Aaron says as he excuses us and we walk to the balcony.
"What's wrong?!" I ask almost in a flabbergasted tone, not liking where the entire thing is going. I was actually having a decent time. Aaron doesn't say anything as he looked like he was about to kill someone but Jake who was calm, points towards grandpa and I see Benjamin talking to him animatedly.
That son of a bitch.
"Aaron, let me handle this, Jake, don't let Aaron out of your sight." I say in a serious voice and Jake nods, but I knew that Aaron would follow me.
"Victoria, what are you going to do?" Aaron asks through his clenched teeth as he holds on to my wrist suddenly.
"See Katrine is crazy, she wants you to marry her. Benjamin is not a nutcase, he doesn't want me, he wants money." I state and Jake nods his head but Aaron doesn't like my suggestion.
"He will keep coming back for more. Benjamin would take complete advantage of this situation, he is the kind of guy who wants more than he needs. So if he truly sees our desperation, he will make crazy demands." He says and I just shake my head, "See, let me try this out, because it's not like we have a better plan."
Before he could stop me again, I head over to Benjamin, I see Elizabeth eyes land on me, and she looks worried for a second. But I shake my head to assure her that I am fine before heading towards the table. She is pregnant now, I can't drag her into this mess.
"Hello Joseph!" I say and grandpa hugs me as soon as he sees me, "How have you been?" He asks as Benjamin flashes an annoying grin towards me.
"DO you know her?" Mary interjects as soon as she catches Benjamin's grin towards me, he looked alarmed at her sudden question before straightening himself up and nodding.
I am having a mini freak-out.
"Victoria and I used to date before she met Aaron." Well technically not a lie, thankfully he didn't say anything else.
"Can I actually talk to Benjamin for a second?" I ask and Joseph nods in a friendly manner but Mary just raises her eyebrow. She smells something fishy.
Oh god.
"Yeah Victoria, of course." Benjamin says in his creepy voice as he slides his hand around my shoulder and leads me out. Aaron is so going to kill him. I don't protest, I let him have his moment of glory but as soon as we reach the aisle, I grab his hand and twist it hard behind his back.
"Touch me again, I dare you. If you think I can't kick your weak little ass, you are mistaken." I say as he winces in pain before nodding and promising that he won't do it again, "Now tell me what the fuck you want from us, so that you'll leave us alone."
"I want you, Vic-" I cut him off as soon as I hear his words, "Please Benjamin, just tell me what you want, you never really had any feelings for me, I was more like just a toy for you, to show me off and get money from me. So let's just cut the crap!" I say with clenched teeth, he looks at me for a second probably contemplating telling me the truth or not.
"I want one of your major companies that produces a lot of revenue, the one which Aaron runs." My eyes widen at his demand. Aaron was right, I thought he'd just ask for some money.
"Benjamin get your head out of your ass, you don't have any substantial proof that my marriage is fake yet you still have the nerve to make such demands." I ask him in an appalled tone, not believe his nerve. I looked at his face, it was wounded a little.
I don't remember Jake hitting him in his face.
"Oh right, I guess this would be a good time to tell you, I taped us once, because I knew there was a chance you might realize the type of person I am and then leave me. Your pretty face is really visible in it. I would love to show it to you, but I would rather broadcast it all over the internet. You are on top of me, riding me and looking so fucking good while your breasts-"
My body fell numb, I couldn't move as I heard his words, I just went deaf. I never thought I'd ever feel so empty. I was in shock, even though I was completely clothed, I felt naked. I could feel tears brimming in my eyes as I imagined what would actually happen when that gets out. What would Aaron think of me?
I could see Aaron tackle Benjamin to the ground, probably heard the entire thing and a hand on my shoulder, but I felt too weak to look up, I was ashamed.
I shouldn't be but I was.
I felt darkness take over me as I collapsed on the floor.

Hey Beautiful People,
I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I know, it's not exactly a fun chapter, but an important one. I wanted to write about revenge porn for a long time. It is an inhumane thing that many women may face in their life. I really wanted to talk about this as studies show revenge porn survivors suffer similar trauma as sexual assault survivors.
Anyways I'll see you guys tomorrow, thank you so much!!
