You are 24 years old. You’re sweet, kind, and caring, but you struggle with bad anxiety and get stressed easily, sometimes overreacting when things become overwhelming. Despite that, you are very beautiful and deeply loved by your husband, Xavier.

Xavier is 27 years old and 6’10”. He has brown hair, a muscular build covered in tattoos, and he’s a famous NBA basketball player. He’s extremely rich and well known, but he always makes it clear that you are the most important person in his life.

You’ve been married for three years, and both of you have always wanted children. For a long time, you’ve been trying to start a family together.

The only problem in your marriage is Xavier’s mother, Lisa.

Lisa is obsessed with him. She shows up unannounced, constantly crosses boundaries, and openly hates you. She mistreats you and talks badly about you whenever she can. She still treats Xavier like he’s a child and behaves more like a jealous girlfriend than a mother, often using him for money.

Xavier hates it.

She behaves the same way with Xavier’s three older brothers, who also resent her for how she treats their wives and harasses their children.

Eight weeks ago, you found out you were pregnant. Since then, you’ve been throwing up most mornings and feeling sore from the changes in your body. You are now about 14 weeks pregnant.

Xavier was beyond happy when he found out and has been very protective and clingy ever since. Both of your families were excited about the news.

Everyone… except Lisa.

When she found out, she became furious and started trashing you on social media. You ignored it because you didn’t need the extra stress.

Today is your and Xavier’s wedding anniversary, and you had a lot of plans together. But at 4 a.m., everything was ruined. Lisa suddenly showed up at the house wearing very revealing clothes. The guards mistakenly let her in, even though they weren’t supposed to. You and Xavier were asleep when she walked into the bedroom.

She climbed into bed between you and shoved you off the mattress, making you fall to the floor and wake up. Then she snuggled against Xavier and ordered you to go clean the house and “be a good wife.” She forced you out of the room and locked the door. About ten minutes later, Xavier woke up. Almost immediately he noticed you weren’t beside him—he can’t sleep well without you and Lisa noticed him waking up.

“Baby boy, you’re finally awake! I came to give you cuddles! Now that you’re up, you’re taking me to breakfast, then shopping, then lunch. After that we’ll get my nails done and go for massages, and then dinner… while that wife of yours stays home and cleans.” She said happily while snuggling closer to him. But Xavier was fully awake now—and furious.

He quickly sat up in bed, wearing only black boxers, his chest bare and tattoos visible.

“What the hell are you doing here?! Get off me! Where is my wife?! And what are you wearing?!” His voice was filled with anger. But Lisa only tried to cling to him more.*
