Chapter 66 Rich Kid Decided To Have Some Fun
Sarah
The helplessness and uncertainty are causing me absolute hell. This is the first time I've encountered anything like this, and I don't know what to do. If Shawn doesn't find out about my secret right now and somehow manages to get to me, he will later.
It will be difficult to spend my whole life hiding in the shadows from such a powerful man. Even now, I'm taking a huge risk.
On the other hand, I'm essentially a nobody! Raise another hungry mouth on my own? I can't take care of myself properly, so what kind of child would I be?
Sadness, melancholy, and helplessness washed over me like an irresistible avalanche. I couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears, hugging my stomach as I walked through the wild forest belt toward the small houses that flashed by.
The path to the village led through a wild field with bushes and the occasional solitary tree. I'm so scared, so sad, and so confused that I don't know what to do.
Shawn hates me, considers me a traitor, and almost wants to kill me. He said it himself: "I'll personally strangle you."
But the even bigger problem... is that I'm pregnant. What to do with an unplanned pregnancy? I don't know about the bathroom burden...
Especially when I realized the rose-colored glasses had fallen from my eyes. Shawn didn't need me as someone greater and more important. He was just playing with me.
Having fun.
He pretended to be a messenger from God and gave me, a pitiable girl who had lived her whole life in loneliness and poverty, a ticket to heaven.
Temporary.
In fact, now I realize he was simply using me as a toy. At that moment, when he was saying nice things to me, surrounding me with care and giving me gifts, he seemed so sincere that it was simply impossible to believe him.
But something happened, and I can't figure out what! Shawn, like a rabid attack dog, broke loose from his leash and wanted to tear me apart.
There's a reason for his behavior and cold attitude! And for now, it's unclear to me. But I guess I won't bother digging around in this swamp! It's all clear with Shawn!
The rich, rich kid decided to have some fun; he's used to it! What if he just made a bet with someone about me? And what about that video setup?
It's all too complicated and impossibly confusing...
Tears stream down my cheeks, burning them. I try not to cry, but I can't. This is too much for me. I've experienced many hardships in my life, but right now, it seems like nothing compares. Compared to the pain I'm feeling right now!
I'll probably have to get rid of the child. I'll have to have an abortion. Shawn will force him to have one himself! Somehow, I'm sure of it.
Such two-faced bastards know neither compassion nor pity. They care about nothing but money. After all, this child will be an obstacle to his profitable marriage.
And what about my parents? I'm also Whites' daughter, their own blood, the tests confirmed it. That's a different matter... I realized they didn't need me.
They didn't acknowledge me because so many years had passed. They were used to having only one daughter. Their dearly beloved. The only one! The one they cherished from birth. And me?
No explanation is needed! They've abandoned me. And they don't need me! No one needs me! It's clear without words from their behavior.
What difference does it make anymore why they treat me like this? I'm tired of digging into everything, only hurting myself more. Why force yourself on someone who simply doesn't need you?
Most likely, there's some hidden secret, but they'll never tell me. They'll keep lying. They'll treat me like a stranger, a nuisance, some kind of pathetic brat, despite the fact that we're the same flesh and blood.
Another problem... Kate's pregnant. Me too. This is a very, very big problem!
If any of them find out, they'll want to get rid of the problem. For Kate, I'm now direct competition, laying claim to her happiness, her man, and his money.
It's getting dark. I'm already approaching the village and, wandering through the streets, I start asking people I meet about Svetlana.
The people here are polite, but they look at strangers with suspicion. Despite this, they're happy to tell me where to go.
The village looks small and tired of life, but the air here is clean and green. People live quite modestly; there are many unfinished buildings, some built from scrap materials. Along the way, I meet mostly elderly people. Sometimes I get the feeling that people here don't live here, but survive.
These conditions don't bother me. Although I've already gotten used to Shawn's mansion, here I am, unfortunately, forced to return to that nasty time I lived in before.
You get used to good things quickly...It's very painful to experience this.
I'm having trouble finding my beloved Aunt Sveta's house. It took me about an hour. I asked around, then went there. Finally, on my fifth try, I found it. It turns out Aunt Sveta lives off the beaten path in an old but clean house. She keeps a small, but private farm.
She has no children, grandchildren, or husband. Perhaps she'll appreciate some company. I need at least a few days to hide somewhere, recuperate, and come up with another plan. I'm very tired and very hungry. My strength is failing me, and my legs are giving out completely.
I approach the life-weary wooden gate and knock several times. A bark is heard, and a light comes on in the first-floor window of a similarly life-weary, slightly peeling wooden one-story house.
"Zhulya, what are you barking about? Do we have guests?" The dog quieted down a bit, and I recognized a familiar, soft voice. A wave of joy rose inside me! I'm saved...
"Who's there?" The gate lock creaks, and the door opens.
I recognize my beloved Aunt, her eyes growing moist again. She raises her head, and her face, tired with age but still kind, lights up with surprise and joy.
"Sarah! Dear Lord! Is that you? How did you end up here?"
