Laura clenched her fists, feeling a mix of anger and sadness. She hated being treated like this, especially by Nick, who she thought loved her.
"I have every right to speak my mind!" Laura retorted, her voice trembling with emotion.
Nick sneered at her.
"You have no rights. You're just a fat, ugly, and useless girl. You should be grateful for any attention I give you."
Laura felt her heart breaking, but she refused to show any weakness.
"I am not useless or ugly!" she said, her voice firm.
Nick rolled his eyes.
"You're delusional. You're the most useless and ugly person I've ever met. No one will ever want you."
Laura felt so much pain at this moment she understood her own family hated her and her so called boyfriend she loved deeply didn't even like her.
Mary and Ricky continued to watch in silence, not interfering.
Nick continued his insults, clearly enjoying the pain he was causing.
"You're a pathetic excuse for a woman. You're fat, you're ugly, and you'll never amount to anything. You should consider yourself lucky that I'm even willing to marry you."
"Laura apologize now!" Ricky shouted and grabbed Laura forcefully and forced her to kneel down in front Nick who looked down at her like a pig that she was and slapped her twenty times across the face.
"Make her kneel outside," Nick said with a cruel laugh. Mary and Ricky both were extremely happy inside they hated this ugly girl Mary hated she had such an ugly stepdaughter like Laura and Ricky hated the fact Laura was so ugly and idiot as well! The guards dragged Laura outside. Zia just came from school with a group of her friends and watched and made rude comments as they watched Laura being forced down on her knees as it rained. Zia took her phone out and made a live video she posted it all over the school website and people rude comments poured through.
Laura felt the cold rain hitting her face as she knelt outside, her body trembling from the pain and humiliation. The people who saw the live video on the school website laughed and ridiculed her.
"Ugly cow," one person commented.
"She looks like a pig," another person said.
"This is what she deserves," someone else chimed in.
Laura was cold and indifferent. Mary told one of the servants to whip Laura in the back 200 hundred times and Ricky told them to make sure it's as harsh as possible.
The servants grabbed a whip and began to whip Laura's back, causing her to cry out in pain. The people watching the live video on the school website continued to make rude comments.
"Good riddance," one person commented.
"She deserves it," another person chimed in.
"She's just a useless fat cow," someone else wrote.
Mary and Ricky went inside leaving Laura outside in the cold while the servants continued to beat her. Laura didn't scream she kept herself calm her kind heart became as cold as dead by the 98th whip she felt like she was about to faint but she didn't dare to faint her back was marked with all blood that dropped down and the water that hit her pure wounds she hissed out but didn't say anything.
The people watching the live video on the school website continued to watch as Laura was whipped. Some of them started to feel a sense of satisfaction.
"She's finally getting what she deserves," one person commented.
"This is the best thing that could happen to her," another person chimed in.
"She's just a fat cow anyway," someone else wrote.
Once the servants finished whipping Laura, they left her outside in the cold rain. Mary and Ricky went inside, closing the door behind them. Laura lay there, shivering and in pain. Laura didn't move at all Laura watched as Nick kissed Zia in front of Laura she didn't say anything in her mind she must protect her unborn baby.
Zia and Nick continued to kiss in front of Laura, completely ignoring her. Zia smirked as she saw how much pain and humiliation Laura was in.
"Look at her," Zia said to Nick.
"She's pathetic and worthless."
Nick pulled away from the kiss and looked at Laura with disgust.
"Yeah, she really is pathetic," he said.
"She's just a useless cow."
Laura gritted her teeth, trying to hold back her tears. She didn't want to show any weakness in front of them.
Zia laughed and looked at Laura with a smirk.
"You should be grateful that Nick is even willing to marry you. You're lucky to have him," she said.
Nick nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, you should feel lucky. You're not worthy of me, but I'm willing to marry you anyway."
Nick leaned forward. He threw papers at Laura.
"I will never marry an ugly disgust cow like you, I am breaking off the engagement, not only are you white you most likely slept with some ugly man right?" Nick said and everyone cheered in the live stream Nick was handsome who wants him to end up with someone as ugly as Laura?
Mary and Ricky were happy and they smirked as they saw the papers.
"Good riddance," Mary said.
"She's just a useless cow anyway."
Ricky nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, she's not worthy of our family."
Ricky locked Laura up in a room where she had to stay she was sometime starved but Laura became cold toward the world what kept her living was her unborn child it has become the center of her darkness.
As days passed by, Laura was locked up in the room with very little food and water. She felt cold and numb, the only thing keeping her going was the life growing inside her.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Laura's pregnancy started to show, but she was still kept in the room, alone and abandoned.
Laura had been locked up in the room for months, and was now seven months pregnant. She was cold and numb, and had lost all hope.
As Laura's pregnancy progressed, her stomach grew bigger and bigger. The baby inside her kicked and moved constantly, but she was alone and had no one to share the experience with.
