My mate, My exception novel Chapter 68

"I don't like to think of you as a coward, Kayla, nor a liar." He kicks her again and she groans. Her face is streaked with tears, some that fell over the red hand print left from Luca's hand. Her eyes were wide and so scared, my heart wanted to shred in my chest. "You wanted to specialize in obstetrics and gynecology, you bitch. You think we're stupid? We studied you before we took you from your sorry excuse of a life. We know you spent as many hours as possible in that hospital so you could be successful. You wanted to go into a specialty that specializes in pregnancies, and you say you didn't know. So either your a stupid, good for nothing bitch, or you lied, and I don't like liars." He kicks her again and she continues screaming.

Please pass out I wish for her. This is my fault. I put her in this situation.

As his foot comes back again, in a slow taunting way, I couldn't take it anymore.

"Stop! Please stop!" I yell at Luca, letting my own sobs rock my body. I want to sink to the floor but I won't do that. I won't put myself at his feet.

He doesn't move his foot from the air and the room is silent. With one more snap of his knee his foot forces itself against Kayla one more time. I block out her cries. He then slowly turns in my direction.

"P-please." I beg him now. What had I done? I was putting my baby in danger. "Please d-don't hurt me." I sound pathetic. I was never brave or bold, but I definitely wasn't ever a coward. Now however, I feel like a wimp, like a piece of nothing.

He saunters towards me until he remains directly in front of me. When he raises his hand I flinch, even though he simply strokes it down my face.

"Jen, oh Jen, what are we gonna do with you. You're pregnant with Jake's baby, and we are getting no where with you!" He taps my cheeks and then turns around, pacing lazily around the room.

"Do you think your friends in Fairfield miss you? Or your family in Rockton?" He waved the test that was still in his hands by my face. "Do you think Jake would want to know that you're pregnant. That I have two things in my possession that he would do anything to not lose?" I flinch at that thought. Jake would lose his mind.

"For now, I want you to stay well, yeah?" He tapped me on the head as he made his way to the door. "Micah, please assist Jen here to her cell, then come back for Kayla." Then he left the room, leaving the door wide open behind him.

I let out a breath that I was holding, then approached Kayla. She was out, which I was somewhat thankful for, although I hoped she was still alive.

"Let's go." Micah says, so I leave the room with him, leaving the woman who stood up for me all alone.
