The divorce my husband had threatened to serve me was the only thing on my mind as I was sitting in the doctor's office. The red LED display showed 08:44. My feet were tapping uncontrollably on the floor and my fingers were tapping on the table. I was alone in the office because the doctor had gone to get my pregnancy test results from the lab.
I had been sick for some days. I did not expect to be pregnant because I had been barren for six years. It's unlikely that I was pregnant now but I was willing to hope because my marriage was falling apart. A baby would be the only thing that would save my marriage.
Yesterday, Cassian made it very clear that if I didn't give him an heir, I would be thrown out of the house. I love my husband so much, he was my highschool sweetheart and it was a dream come true when his father arranged a marriage between us, I couldn't lose him.
My fingers were cold and my teeth clamped over my fingernail, I cut it and pulled. I hated nail-biting, but I was so nervous I couldn't help it.
Another set of footsteps sounded and I turned to the door, watching the knob turn. The doctor entered and I stood up, pushing my chair back. The metal legs scraped against the marble floor.
“What does it say?." I asked him.
“Mrs Foster, I haven't opened it yet."
I pulled the envelope from his hand and tore the seal, I pulled the single paper out and glanced at it.
My eyes scanned through all the gibberish nonsense until it finally landed on a single word.
“Positive... The test result is positive, doctor! I'm pregnant!."

I drove home in a frenzy. I carelessly parked my car in front of the house, the valet rushed towards me and I threw him the keys. He gave me a weird look, something like pity crossed his eyes.
“What?."
“Nothing, Mrs Foster." He said and hurried away.
Was it because I drove so carelessly?
I ran into the house, straight for my bedroom. I told my husband that I was going to visit the animal shelter where I volunteered at. I always arrived home in the evenings so I knew he would be surprised to see me and more surprised to see the test result.
I opened the door and my smile dropped. There were two naked bodies on my bed... My brain refused to register that the male was my husband. No...
I walked into the room, my knees buckled.
“C-cassian."
I caught the door knob, so I didn't fall face flat.
“Cassian."
He plunged his c**k into her cunt and pulled away, his c**k was erect and dripping with juices from her cunt. His hair was all over the place, his skin was pink and his face flushed.
The look of pleasure on his face quickly morphed into rage.
“Get out!."
“Oh my gosh." The female gasped. I wobbled on my feet and my eyes landed on her, my vision was blurry so I cleaned my eyes with the back of my hand.
It was Genevieva, my half sister.
My heart was aching.
“I said get out!."
Cassian barked, he covered the nakedness of my sister and grabbed his trouser from the floor.
“You're cheating on me, with my sister."
How long has this been happening?.
He pushed me out and I fell, landing on my knees.
“How long?." I asked, the tears streaming down my cheeks were warm or was it my boiling blood heating my cheeks?.
“Eleven months. I was going to tell you some weeks ago, but my lawyer wasn't available to draft the divorce papers."
Genevieva appeared in the door, behind Cassian. She was wearing my robe.
“How can you do this to me?." I asked her.
Cassian snarled at me.
“Don't question her," he warned, raising a finger at me “Genevieva, please get the divorce papers from my study."
She knew her way around the house and I rarely invited her over. Did she always come here when I was not home?.
When I turned to Cassian his eyes answered it all
“You're so evil Cassian. I have loved you for six years, I have loved you relentlessly and all I ever asked was for you to return my love. Why? Why would you do this to me, why would you do this to us?."
“I told you Freya, I married you because I wanted to secure my deal. Sign these divorce papers and leave my house."
“I'm not leaving, this is my house too. Your father picked me six years ago to be your wife and I said my vows on an altar, I am not leaving you."
Genevieva threw the files on me and she folded her hand across her chest.
Cassian neared me and I shifted backwards till I had no other place to go. His fingers tightened on my cheeks and he pressed them hard, forcing my mouth open.
Wide eyed, I stared at him.
There was raw anger behind those eyes, I had provoked the beast in him and I was scared for my life.
“Sign these divorce papers Freya, right now! Or you will regret it."
I summed up courage, I would not let him break what we had.
“If I sign these divorce papers, you will regret it!."
He laughed.
“I already got my inheritance money, what can you do? Report me to my dead father?."
Genevieva snickered.
I stared at the divorce papers and I picked it up.
“Where is the pen?."
Cassian released me, a look of relief and surprise crossed his eyes.
Immediately he turned to Genevieva for the pen, I knew he let his guards down.
I stood up and ran away. I ran into my bedroom and locked the door. Immediately the locks turned, he banged on the door, almost breaking it from its hinges.
“Freya, open this door!."
I shook my head and ran into my closet and locked this door too. I sank to the floor and pulled my knees to my chest.
“Freya!." Cassian yelled.
After a while the noise died down and I knew that the both of them had left.
