Falling For Innocence - Episode 20

 

DiscoveriesX3

Amelia:

Many years ago

"stop it Paul, sarah's going to be late for her doctor's appointment" I

say as he continue kissing me.

"Okay, fine. Take my cute baby to the hospital but be back as soon as

possible. I already miss you."Paul fake pout then start tickling my

armpits. My life which had always been hell ever since i lost my

biological parents in a car accident at age 8, is finally happy

because of Paul. Even though we met in an unconventional circumstance,

when we were both drunk off our minds, i know that he loves me

fiercely. But that's only because he doesn't know about my past. The

past that i am currently running from. After my biological parents

died, i was taken to an orphanage where i lived for a year before i

got adopted. Tragedy strikes again when i lose them to another freak

car accident 8 years later. I was sixteen and left with no family that

wanted me and my badluck. I was taken back to the orphanage but a

month later, a man starts sending me gifts and letters claiming to be

my uncle. I was ecstatic at the thought of getting out of the system

and wished he would come and take me away every single day until he

finally came. After taking permission to take me out for a day, he

bought me a beautiful dress and high heeled shoe. I was so grateful to

him but not for long. When evening came that day, he took me to a

motel and asked me to wait in a room he booked. I waited naively and

that's was my biggest mistake. A strange man had come in instead and

defiled me amidst my shouts for help. This was how my so called uncle

got me into prostitution. He threatened to tell on me if i didn't do

whatever he asked. Every weekend he will pick me up from the orphanage

and let different old men defile me. The one time i refused, he almost

killed me. He hit me with his belt in places that were hidden to avoid

questions. I never refused after that. I couldn't tell anyone about

all this. I just retreated into myself until i turned 18 and ran away

from the orphanage. I slept in unfathomable places for a month before

i finally got a job at a restaurant. That was where i met Paul. He

would always come into the restaurant daily and leave a hefty tip for

me. I was distrustful of men so i never accepted any of his advances.

That was until that night when i saw one of the men that defiled me at

the restaurant. I was shell shocked and almost fainted when the devil

tried to touch me, if not for Paul who came to my rescue. He beat the

sh*t out of that man then took me to a bar where i binged on alcohol.

We were both drunk when we had s-x that night but i can't say i regret

it. Two months later, i confirmed that i was pregnant and Paul was

ecstatic about the news. He asked me to marry him and i accepted and

that's how we got here. Starting our marriage in a new city with our

baby girl.

"you better go now before i change my mind and devour you right

now" Paul says and i shake my head at him. I quickly pick Sarah from

her cot and head out before am  tempted to devour him instead. I am

almost at the bus station when i realise i left my purse at home.

Shoot! Paul was distracts me into forgetfulness. I better head back

quickly. I walk fast with Sarah in my arms and i reach our door in

record's time. I am about to walk into the house when i hear argument

from inside. Who is in there with Paul? I strain my ears to listen and

that's when i catch their words.

"Amelia is a freaking prostitute! My God. I can't believe this" I hear

Paul say and i gasp, nearly dropping Sarah.

"Those pictures are proof enough. She is my niece and i have been

trying to find her for months now. I just found out she has been

whoring herself around town" the other person say and my blood run

cold. He found me. Oh no. Its over. I feel the illusion of happiness i

have created crumble and i sink to the ground. Sarah starts wailing

and i quickly get up and sneak away. I can't let him have my daughter.

After hours of walking around town without knowing what to do, i dial

Paul's number. I need to talk to him but i can't go back there. That

monster could be waiting for me. The call rings for a while before he

finally picks.

"Paul" I breath out, emotion cloging my lungs.

"Where are you Amelia?" he grind out clearly pissed.

"Can you please meet me in the bar at our street junction?" i ask quietly

"come home right now"

"I can't. Please meet me there. I'll be waiting for you. Please" i say

then end the call. I wait for Paul for hours before he finally shows

up and he's drunk. This is not going to go well, i can feel it.

"you sl*t! You lied to me. I can't believe i married a prostitute!" he

yell at me as soon as he sees me. Sarah who is peacefully sleeping in

my arms rouse and i rock her.

"stop shouting. You are going to wake our daughter up" i say pleading

and i see as a look of disgust overshadow his face.

"our daughter? How am i sure she is mine? I slept with you once and

bam! You are pregnant. I can't believe this!" he snarl

"you can accuse me of anything but never you deny our baby girl. She's

yours and you know it"

"I dont know anything anymore. Why did you lie to me? Is Amelia even

your real name? Was that man really your uncle? Maybe he is the father

of this baby" he bites out and i see red. My phone is the only thing

that stops me from losing it. Its an unknown number but I answer just

to distract myself.

"who owns that child?" the cold voice ask and i dont mistake who owns

it. Luscious, The monster. I can't tell him about my daughter so i put

the baby in Paul's arms and plead with my eyes for him to watch her

and he reluctantly nod.

"She is Paul's daughter with his ex wife" I lie as soon as i get to a corner.

"Better. Come with me, Amelia. Dont you miss me?"

"I can't. Stay away from me or I'll call the cops" I say angrily. I

can't continue being his spawn.

"Wrong answer Amelia" he says into the phone before a handky covers my

mouth and i feel myself being carried away from my daughter and the

man i love and hurt.

"Forgive me"i whisper as I get thrown in to a car
