DESTINY
I couldn’t sleep, rolling around on the bed, twisting the covers around my legs. Eventually I just gave up. James was in my head. Damn him! I was such an idiot! Every time he looked at me, I just caved in.
What was I going to do? I got myself into this mess by agreeing to his stupid contract in the first place. Because I felt I owed him. But he looked after me, like no one else had in my entire life. He was the only one, despite his selfishness. And I was in love with him. The simple truth.
“Oh, Destiny, you are so pathetic!” I told my reflection. “Just because he looks after you, doesn’t mean he loves you. He is using you. Like everybody else.”
But still…
I fell back onto the bed and pressed a pillow over my face. So, now I am considering giving him a baby. My child. Am I worse than my mother? She left me for a rich man to be raised by an alcoholic father.
James said he won’t let me abandon my child. How can I believe him when all he does is lie?
