Chapter 121 - Cheers to Comeuppance
Chapter 59 pt. 2
While Hunter was concluding his meeting with Annika’s family at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, Sadie was trashing her cell. She was screaming and crying. Her public defender had informed her of her new court date, but not only that, but he also notified her of Jeff’s death.
Sadie was in complete disbelief when she first heard what her lawyer told her, and she thought he was pulling her leg. However, when he showed her all of the articles surrounding Jeff’s suicide, Sadie lost her mind. She smashed his tablet on the table until it shattered into a million pieces. Sadie’s outburst got the attention of the correctional officers, and she had to be sedated and taken back to her cell.
Once she was awake, her cellmates started to mock her after they had also heard that her “baby daddy” had off himself and abandoned her. Sadie got into another fight with her cellmates. They tussled with one another, two against one, and the other two had the advantage, and Sadie ended up being thrown to the ground without remorse for her pregnancy. Not caring about her baby, Sadie got up and somehow got the upper hand against her assailants.
She slammed one of their heads against the sink using sheer adrenaline, knocking them out cold. The other had slammed Sadie against the wall, but she pulled their hair so hard that she ripped out a handful by the roots. The pain was so excruciating for the other women that she let Sadie go. In her rage, Sadie smashed the other women’s face into the wall multiple times. Completely rearranging her face before guards came to break up the fight. Luckily for the other woman, she would survive her injuries, but Sadie’s wrath permanently damaged her face.
However, Sadie, having forgotten that she was shoved to the ground earlier, felt a sudden burst of pain in her lower abdomen. She screamed out from the intensity, which caught the guards’ attention.
“Shit, she’s bleeding!”
“Take her to the infirmary!”
Sadie was unconscious for some time before she finally came to and was once again in her cell. Only this time, she was alone. When she looked at the door of her cell, she was surprised to see Kenzie.
“What the fuck are you doing here?” she snapped at Kenzie.
“The prison called me because I was your last OB-GYN on file.”
“So? That doesn’t explain why you’re here!”
“You really are a selfish bitch, aren’t you?”
“What the fuck is that supposed to mean!?”
“Sadie, I honestly feel sorry for you.”
“Are you mocking me!?”
“No, I’m not. I honestly do feel sorry for you. I was told that you were beaten up once already here, and not even a week later, you were beaten up again. Over what? Jeff?”
“Get your facts straight! I beat them up!”
“Yeah, yeah, you did. Unfortunately, it didn’t come without a price,” Kenzie stated sternly.
“What are you talking about?”
“Sadie, did you forget that you were pregnant!? That you were still susceptible to a miscarriage!?” Kenzie shouted at her. Sadie paused a moment as she processed Kenzie’s words.
“You said ‘were’ as is past tense.” It wasn’t a question; it was a statement. As Kenzie’s words played through her head once, Sadie reached down to touch her stomach. Tears filled her eyes uncontrollably when she found that her baby bump was no longer there.
“Sadie, you need to start realizing that the world doesn’t revolve around you. You were so caught up in trying to maintain an image that was no longer relevant rather than protecting yourself and your unborn baby. You let Jeff’s cowardly ways control your emotions so much that you started to pick fights with women who could literally kill you in here without remorse. And in doing so, you had your killed!” Kenzie yelled at her. “That excruciating pain you felt a few hours ago after your stupid fight? Yeah, that was your baby leaving you. You being thrown to the ground like that ruptured the placenta. That’s what carries all of the nutrients to the baby. That’s what allows your baby to breathe inside you as it grows. If that ruptures and you don’t receive immediate medical care, your baby suffocates and dies!”
“Are you saying that my baby died?”
“YES, YOU STUPID CUNT!” Kenzie blew her bangs out of her face. “Sadie, it’s over for you now. Not only are you being charged for the fraud against Leon and the attempted murder of Annika, but now you’re going to be charged with aggravated assault on two inmates.”
“They attacked me first!?”
