Somewhere within the borders of Persia

KATHERINE HUDSON POV...

I walk into my room with a tired sigh, I rub my temple trying to soothe the pain in my head.

"Mommy!!"

I turned around "Are you okay baby?how was school?"

"Exhausting,I have a lot of home work to do"

I take her backpack and lunch box from her "Go take a shower, your meal will be brought to you soon"

She runs out of my room and I resist the urge to cry as my eyes lands with Egor and I picture,I unconsciously rub my tummy.

He is a monster who you love.

All he has ever done is make my life a living hell,how long can I stand this? how long can I stand this humiliation?how much more do I have to devote my life to him?I am tired,so fucking tired. But a part of me still wishes that he would change for my sake.

I shake my head to get rid of the thoughts and I go into Nadia's room. She was still in the shower,so I keep her backpack on her study table along with her lunch box. She is a neat freak, unlike me.

"Mom" she comes out from the bathroom in a towel.

I force a smile "Go and get dressed,we will have our meal in the garden"

"Will dad join us for dinner tonight?" She asked with hopeful glint in her eyes.

"I will give him a call, you know how busy your father is"

She smiles "Yes mom"

As she goes into her closet,a tear finally slip from my eyes, but I quickly wipe it off. For years I have hid the pain from her, the true nature of her father, she deserves to live a life without knowing about it.

The food was brought to the garden and the maids bow their heads before leaving.

"Mom,I want a baby brother"

I choked on the salad in my mouth and I could feel tears in my eyes as I coughed.

"Mommy, are you okay?"

I sip from the glass of water "Yes I am fine"

She grins "I want a baby brother mom, and I am going to spoil him and shower him with love"

If only you knew.

"I will speak to your father about this"

She squeals happily "Thank you mommy!!"

I blink back the tears "Now eat,no talking"

🏵️🏵️🏵️

It was almost midnight and I was informed by Babka, Egor right hand man that Egor needs me in his room. I only nodded and put on my nighty robe before making my way into his room.

"Come in" he spoke after I knocked twice.

I suck in a deep breath before pushing the door open and go in, I lock the door shakily before making my way over to him.

"Kneel"

I obeyed kneeling in front of him, he lift my chin up and I forcefully stared at him.

"You are two minutes late"

"I a-am so-rry" I stuttered with tears in my eyes.

He slaps me hard on my face "You stupid whore! Why shed tears?"

I quickly wipe it off "E-egor"

He roughly pulls me up "You disgust me, but still I can't let you go"

I summoned the courage to speak "In the past you only threatened to hit me, but now you treat me like thrash. My heart is filled with pain, you hate me then let me go. I am tired of this life, I want to leave Persia with our daughter"
