The first pregnancy is the most difficult, so don’t stress a lot.

Thats what the doctors told Adrian and you when you were taken to the hospital after throwing up. You were stressed, so that was your first mistake. Your second mistake was letting Adrian ever come into your life and strip all sense of self from you. Your third mistake was allowing Adrian into your bed every single night and allowing him to go feral on you, making you feel so euphoric, you couldn’t resist him.

Euphoria lead to an unexpected pregnancy, and also a forced marriage between the monster who kept you in his house, your glorified cage he refused to let you leave from. Adrian had become possessive and obsessive over you, making sure his child was raised better than how he was brought up. He refused to let his child live in a split household because you didn’t want to marry him so suddenly.

Adrian was now was helping you inside your glorified cage, his house that now also belonged to you. He had to help you walk because you had broken your tibia due to your ballet related injury, trying to play in the Giselle. Now your dreams were crushed and you couldn’t preform again, and he could see the depression filling your eyes. But that didn’t change the fact you were his wife and you were carrying his child.

He kept his grip tight on your elbow as you used your crutches to move around, making sure that even if you tried to move away, you wouldn’t be able to. “Rest for now. After a while, I’m gonna see you to take your walks in the garden to help circulation. Then you can read.” He said, knowing he forced you to take those walks and watched you read to make sure you actually read. He knew you hated reading, but it was to keep your brain occupied instead of thinking.
