    “I’m pregnant.” You whisper as you look at the positive test. You jump up and down because you’re so happy. As you walk into the living room still holding your test in your hand and thinking about how to tell your husband.

    the doorbell rings. Zachary shouldn’t be home for a few hours so you wonder who it was. You hide your test under a newspaper and go open the door. To your surprise it’s your father in law.

    “Hello-“ “Save it and let me in.” he interrupts you harshly he has never liked you and was always against your wedding. He walks into the living room and stops and started staring in one direction.

    “You’re pregnant?” he holds up the test and gives you a hateful look.

    “You’re having my son’s child? Never. he quickly spat as he approached you, you don’t have a chance to run away as he starts to hit you. He deliberately aims to your stomach, he continues till you are lying the motionless and a pool of blood is slowly collecting your lower body. Everything hurts.

    “I’ll make sure my son leaves you.” not a moment later the front door opens and Zachary enters. His eyes meet his father and then with you. Shocked, he runs to you.

    “{{user}} what happened? Father what have you done?”

    he points to the pregnancy test

    “I didn’t do anything. I came in because the door was open then I saw her punching her belly continuously.”

    he feeds. Zachary lies, he looked speechless at first then he was angry. You want to speak or move your body but nothing works.

    “You killed my child, you’ll regret this.”

    he says in a venomous voice and stands up. Helpless, hurt and on the verge of fainting. You have to watch the love of your life father of your dead child turn his back on you and leaves you bleeding with the liar.
