The Perfect Wife

Chapter 6 - Lacey

Kay Summers

POV

FLASHBACK

“Kay that’s enough I don’t believe your bull, why would Angela threaten you when she doesn’t even know who hell you are?!” Jason yells

It was another Saturday night over at our house, which meant, another day to argue. Today’s argument was about Angela, yesterday before she went over to her lover’s office she came to mine and accused me of trying to seduce her boyfriend. She threatened to have me fired if I even thought about her boyfriend which was insane because all I ever wanted was out of this marriage. I couldn't take it anymore. I didn't want to be here constantly being told how ugly I was, how much of a failure I was. Worst of all I was being called a hoe for no reason what so ever before Jason I was a virgin he was the only man I've ever been with.

“I know you don’t believe me but she came into my office to warn me to stay away from you… Please Jason please let me move back to my apartment. You can’t stand the sight of me so let me move out of your house please.” I beg

I could not take it anymore; things have been getting worse lately. Things between us have strained since we slept together two months ago and I have had enough. Jason would give me odd looks and would be nice for a minute then he'd be mean again. He was giving me whiplash from him going back and forth constantly.

“I dare you to try and move out of this house!” he said with so much venom I actually got scared.

I subconsciously took a few steps back. I've never seen Jason this angry because I was getting scared he might hit me. Yes how never laid a hand on me but that didn't mean I wasn't scared of him.

“You move and I’ll tell your father” he said looking me dead in the eye

He got me to move in with him because my father threatened me and now his using the same method to force me stay.

“Please Jason…” I beg I go onto my knees in front of him, holding his legs at this point I was desperate I didn’t care about the company anymore, I didn’t care about my birth right anyway I just wanted out, I needed out, my hair was falling out I was losing so much weight because I couldn't keep anything down and I was having these terrible headaches. I just didn’t want to be in this toxic environment anymore. But the man I loved was using my father to keep me here.

“Get out of my face!” he yells kicking me away from him.

He walks out of the room. The next thing I know is, my stomach hurts like real bad. And I feel a gush between my legs, I look down I’m bleeding I look around the room for my phone. I stop it on the other side of the room. I drag myself to my phone. I dial Cole’s number.

“Kay?”

“Help…” I say softly before losing consciousness.

========

When I woke up again I smelt anteseptic and I heard a beeping sound I was in a hospital. I tried getting up but I stopped when I heard a voice.

“Kay. Oh thank God you’re awake” I look to my left to see Tarryn there.

“What happened?” I ask her

“Well I’ll let the doctor explain it to you.” She says softly

I look at her, she looks deadly pale and she looks anxious, I am probably dying. I concluded. At least I will not be forced to live with the devil anymore. And he would live a happy life with Angela and the kids they'll have in the future.

“Ah Miss Summers you’re awake” a man says walking in.

I turn to him.

“How you feeling?” he asks

“Okay I guess…” I say, mostly because everything felt numb

“Can you tell me what happened to me?” I ask

“Well you nearly miscarried” he says

“Excuse me I don’t understand?” I say looking at him confused

Just as he was about to reply, Cole came into the room… he stopped dead in his tracks when he saw me.

“You’re awake” he says stating the obvious.

I roll my eyes. “You were saying Doc?” I say

“Yes. Uhm you are about eight weeks pregnant and you nearly lost your baby, luckily you were brought to the hospital in time or you would have lost your baby” he says

I nod slowly, closing my eyes. I knew I had to do this. It was time…

“You may leave doc” I say

I heard his footsteps retreat out of the room.

“Kay are you okay? Did that asshole r**e you?” Cole asks

I shake my head slowly.

“Tarryn I need you to book a flight to London under the name Maria Bailey, for tonight. Its time I leave” I say softly

“Are you sure Kay?” Cole asks

I open my eyes and I look him straight in the eye. “Yes, I’m not doing this for myself I’m doing it for my baby. If Jason hates my guts then he would hate this baby as well. I cannot let him force me to have an abortion Cole. I’m giving up everything for this baby.” I say

He nods and looks at his wife who was on the phone with an airline.

“Cole I need you to prepare divorce lawyer I need the papers up by tonight I want to sign it and have it in Jason’s hands by tonight.” I say

He nods and walks out of the room.

I close my eyes again. I keep imagining having a son, and Jason playing with his son. This huge smile on his face as they run around the back yard kicking a ball around.

I hope and pray I was making the right decision. I was doing this for my baby. This baby was a part of the man I loved. Yes he treated me worse than a piece of dirt but he will always be my first love, and the father of my unborn child. I needed to be strong for my baby and I knew being around Jason wasn't the answer.

=========

“Mommy”

“Mommy”

“Mommy!” I come out of my thoughts when I hear my son call me.

I look at the little boy standing next to me. He wiped my face with his tiny hands. I did not even know I was crying until I saw his little hands.

“What’s wrong mommy?” he asks

“Nothing baby, its tears of joy. Just thinking about the day I gave birth to the best son in the world.” I say

He nods

“Mommy, I had fun with daddy today, he told me a story. And uncle Dan gave me lots of sweeties” he says

I look at my son who was happily explaining how much fun it was with his father, the man who caused me to nearly miscarry, the man who got my father to threaten me, the man that caused me to see a therapist because my life was so bad that I had thoughts of ending it. My son wants to spend time with Jason but seeing Jason made me forget all of the horrible things he has done to me. But now it’s all rushing back to me.

“Mommy when do I get to see daddy again?” he asks

“I don’t know baby…” I say honestly kissing the top of his head

“Ma’am we’ve arrived” the uber driver says

I nod.

“Don’t forget to give me five stars” he says

I nod.

I let Tyler get out first then I get out. We were at the orphanage.

We walked in and a little girl was sitting on the porch she looked sad.

I sat beside her.

“What’s wrong?” I ask her

“Nobody wants to play with me because I don’t have a name” that broke my heart.

“Why don’t you have a name? didn’t they name you when you came here?” I ask

She shakes her head.

“How about I give you a name?” I ask her

She looks at me, her green eyes brighten, she nods.

“How about Lacey? Do you like that name?” I ask her

She nods happily. I smiled this why I opened this place to help children who doesn’t have homes, or names. To give these kids home. I named this place Maria’s place. After my grandmother. Maria was actually our house keeper but I treated her as my grandmother because she had loved me as if I was. She died before my marriage to Jason.

“Thank you. What’s your name?” she asks

“My name is Kay and this is Tyler my son” I say pointing at Tyler who was on the phone with someone.

“Mommy. Aunty Tarryn is having her baby.” He says

I jump up.

“Bye Lacey I promise to visit you again okay?” I say

She nods and waves

We rush to the hospital hoping Tarryn was okay.
