Tabitha's POV
I used to think that Derek's indifference was the most chilling attitude he had towards me.
It was only now that I found his affectionate frighten me much more than his direct attacks.
I had a suspicion, but I didn't dare to say out loud that I was pregnant.
"Derek, I won't love you. Never," I said resolutely, trying to maintain my resolve in front of him.
Derek, however, didn't care. He simply responded calmly, "Tabitha, there's a long road ahead of us." The inexplicable confidence in his tone sent shivers down my spine.
Instead of arguing with him, I chose to curl up obediently. I didn't dare to push him too far.
It was totally pointless trying to reason with a madman. I might actually make things worse.
All I could do now was to lay low and wait for an opportunity
