The Barter Novel Sierra and Xavier

---- But somehow I didn't feel fear.

His actions earlier were a warning, and only a fool would not adhere to it Touch her and die.

The message was clear.

He still wouldn't let anyone hurt me.

Not even after what I'd done.

And that realization hurt far more than Gerald's threats ever could The silence shattered as Gerald barked out a bitter laugh, his bravado returning like a mask now that Vince was not there.

Pathetic, Gerald growled, snapping me out of my thoughts.

Adrian.

I know you are hiding here.

Come on.

Show yourself.

He flexed his injured wrist and stepped closer to me, his posture dripping with arrogance Come on princess.

Call for your dearest daddy to show himself like a man.

Dad! Dont! He cant hurt me! Gerald ignored my words and a cruel smirk formed on his lips.

This can't be good.

You see she is right.

But even he can't save her from what hes put inside her.

My heart stopped in my chest and my eyes steer up to the bastard.

No! Anything but that! No one can know about it dammit! Gerald no! Stop it! Don't say it! But Gerald's smirk only widened watching my desperation.

His voice dripping with sadistic glee What bullshit are you talking! ---- Dads form emerged from the shadows, followed by Damien and my eyes drop down.

My arms wrap around my baby.

No! Please! Not dad! This wasn't meant to happen.

To look at me in pity, to hurt them.

But I guess it was inevitable.

And you know the best part? Gerald's laughter echoed loudly.

His eyes fill with venom.

No one can save her.

Not even me.

Iclose my eyes as the first tear slipped down my eyes.

And just like that a deadly silence followed.

My world stood still as Geralds words hit me like a wrecking ball, each syllable tearing apart the fragile remnants of my sanity.

He must be lying.

Yes, he has to.noveldrama

There is no way she - "The child growing inside her isnt human," he sneered, the venom in his voice seeping into my very bones.

"It's a monster.
