Chapter 53: Chapter 53

It's been a week since I saw Comfort and I already miss her.

This past week has been strange in ways I couldn't explain…... first, I felt like I was being watched and the packages came everyday. David said it was harmless and that I was probably overreacting.

But then again, even David was acting weird…..he made more attempts to kiss me and of course I refused which got him angry.

I felt uncomfortable like I had overstayed my welcome but he didn't want to tell me. And I wasn't one to snoop around so I waited for him to tell me what's going on.

Two days ago, I could swear I saw Vincent but again, David convinced me to calm down that he wasn't the one...but he doesn't know who Vincent is.

David and I haven't spoken well since then but I still cooked and he ate.

He was presently in the shower and his phone was blowing up with messages and normally, I don't have business with his phone but curiosity got the better part of me…..and trust me the saying that curiosity kills the cat is true.

Opening the message, the first warning sign was the name of the sender….Vincent and the last text said:

"There's nothing to worry about, I'll come around tomorrow around noon. Make yourself available."

"Were they talking about me?" I thought.

I scrolled up and the whole conversation was about how I didn't let him touch me and Vincent' response was that he'll teach me a lesson and I was hoping it's not the same Vincent I knew... hopefully it was a coincidence but I knew better.

I didn't realize I was hyperventilating until I nearly dropped the phone. I kept the phone back where I picked it and quickly went to my room locking the door behind me.

"Can you come pick me up, please?" I asked Comfort immediately she picked up her phone.

"Are you okay? Is something wrong? Did David do something?"

I could hear shuffling as she asked the questions but I couldn't bring myself to answer any of them.

"Vincent….. David….." I managed to say, not sure if it made sense though.

"Can you stay on the call for me? Make sure the door is locked okay?"

"Hmmm..."

I could hear her talking to someone but I could barely make out a word they were saying because I was focused on crying and trying to block David's call for me to come out. The talk got heated and I felt bad that I interrupted her moment with George.

"Is that David's voice I hear? Don't open the door, we are…..I mean I am coming."

I ignored the slip out and didn't say anything but just listened to everything going on. Then I started thinking about how I expected Comfort to get here this late and if David figured out that I'd read the message…...but I guessed the answer with the way he kept knocking the door.

"Come on, Precious, open up. Is the baby disturbing you again." He asked.

"Maybe he hasn't figured it out yet."

"I'm going to call a doctor and maybe someone who can break this door if you don't come out."

I didn't hear his voice for a few minutes, while Comfort kept asking if I was okay. I ended the call against Comfort's wish when I started hearing a voice I was too familiar with.

"Did you tell her I was coming?" The voice asked.

"Of course not, I'm not stupid." David said.

"I'm going to bring the door down, tell her to move away from the door."

"Why don't you tell her, or why do you think I called you if she answered me?" David argued.

"Just keep quiet, I got this."

"Sometimes I wondered why she dated you in the first place."

"Just shut the fuck up….and I'm not leaving here without her. She's mine." The voice said.

"The hell you are, and she's pregnant if you've forgotten brother." David mocked.

"Brother!" I thought.

It would definitely make sense if they were related...they were both manipulative.

After what seemed like hours of hitting and banging on the door, it finally opened and I was scared shit less of what would happen.

Vincent's face hasn't changed a lot since the last time we saw each other.

"Finally, we meet again baby and now I'm going to make sure you don't leave me in the future. After we figure out what to do with the b***tard you're carrying." He said.

"You're not really going to harm her baby, are you?" David asked.

"Shut up, will you?" Vincent ordered.

I was irritated with Vincent's hand leaving traces on my skin. It took everything not to throw up all over his face.

"Comfort, please stay where you are." I cried.

She didn't stand a chance against the two of them and I didn't want her to be in danger because of me.

"Please don't harm my baby." I begged.

"That piece of s**t, do you know long we were together and I didn't get to have sex with you but look how quickly you became a s**t for him and you think I want that to stop me now?"

I hope it wasn't what I was thinking, but knowing who Vincent was he doesn't say empty threat.

"I'll do anything Vincent, but you have to leave my baby out of it."

"You don't have a choice Princess, I can do anything I want."

"What do you think you're doing?" David asked.

Vincent was dragging my hands and leading me towards the door. And I didn't fight back because it was of no use….he was stronger and I didn't stand a chance and I wanted my baby to be safe.

"We had a deal." David said.

"You should know better." Was Vincent's reply.

"What's going on here?" Another all too familiar voice asked just as Vincent opened the door to his car.

"Better stay out of it boy, you won't like the outcome." Vincent warned, as we turned to face a scared Comfort and Noah.

"I'd like to see you try, old man." Noah taunted.

"Walk away now when you can."

Noah convinced him to let them fight like men, so the moment he left my hand I went over to Comfort's side and you could see relief on her face. I didn't even ask why she brought Noah along.

"Now let's do this." Noah said.
