Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 289: So close - I

The next time she woke up, Evelyn sat up quickly only for her head to ache with a new spell of dizziness and for her to spell back on the mattress.

With a grimace Filled with pain, Evelyn closed her eyes and held on to her head as she pulled at the roots of my hair.

"Eat something and then take a pain med."

yanking her eyes open, she turned around to stare at the source of the voice. It was Gia.

Gia was staring at her with a nonchalant look on her face, as if nothing affected her especially the plight of a pregnant woman being forced into a sex trade.

Despite her headache, Evelyn sat up on the mattress without a bed under it instead of the lanky woman belonging to Matt.

"I am not eating anything you give me." Her voice was stern and determined with the power of protecting her child.

She was not going to eat anything or even buy them for her, especially medicine. For all she knew, it could be a pill for abortion.

Gia glanced at her stomach and out of instinct, Evelyn covered it with her hand making the woman look away.

"Doyou think the child deserves to come into this world?" She asked, not meeting Evelyn’s eyes. "The world of guns and death. Where he will be killing people for a living and extorting money. Is that okay with you?"

Was it? Probably not. But that was the only thing she had ever known. That was going to be the survival of a child Born into a family that was well versed with organised crime.

Evelyn smiled, it was a little sad but she smiled nonetheless. "What am I supposed to do then?"

"Abort it."

Evelyn breathed deeply, already expecting an answer like that. "that is not just my decision to make with this child was conceived with the willingness of both of his parents."

It was going to be the joint decision of her and Salvatore. Even though it was hardly a possibility that he would ever let go of his child, Evelyn would leave it to both of them to make a collective decision.

Gia scoffed, "organised crime is a huge gamble. Do you understand that you are trusting your child into the world of unexpected death?"

"Unexpected deaths are always on the head of kings." Evelyn tilted her chin up, "Kings are most sought-after because they have the most power in their hand."

"So, as long as this child will live, he will live like a king "

Gia Stared at her and Evelyn was unable to determine what she was thinking. Her face remained emotionless but those eyes held so many of them that Evelyn could not gauge even one of them out.

"I am sorry it ended The way it is with you. But I am in a better position and this charge will be protected nonetheless."

That was true. This child had many people that would truly lay down their lives just so he could live on and rule.

Gia chuckled again. "How delusional can you possibly be? Do you know that you are on the verge of being traded for just an alliance to the highest bidder in the world? You don’t even know in which country you are. Yet, you tell me that this child will be the most protected person on this planet? He’s going to die, Evelyn. The moment that man comes to know of your pregnancy, he will die."

"You will be lucky if he is not beaten out of you."

Chills ran down her spine. She knew of the possibility. Closing her eyes, Evelyn tries to calm herself. This was not good. Being reminded of reality by someone else settled it in even more and Evelyn was not ready for that.

The baby was not going to survive in the hands of someone. That was simply not gonna happen.

He or she would be used as collateral damage against the wall they would waged against her husband or something they could angle in front of Salvatore to get him to do whatever they wanted.

Shit, she opened her eyes, he needed to find Her quickly.

She huffed, "So, I guess, this means that I am no longer in Italy?"

" that’s what you got in that thick brain of yours?" Gia sneered. "that you not in Italy? Did you understand what I said when the child is going to be beaten out of you? It’s going to be beaten to death!"

Evelyn closed her eyes briefly. Just to get rid of the horrible image in her mind. She needed to hold herself together.

Gia, For all she knew, had been sent by the very intention to mentally rattle her. Evelyn needed to be in the right mind just so she could use the window of opportunity wherever provided.

She sighed. "look? This child is no concern of yours. So how about you live and let me alone in this room?"

Gia snarled at the words, "do you really think I want to be in the same room as you? I am here on orders and I will go when I receive them."

Hopefully she will receive them sooner rather than later. Because she was hellbent on torturing Evelyn mentally.

She discreetly looked around the room, as much as she could because she was well aware of the eyes of the woman standing in the corner.

There was only a makeshift toilet in the room and no sink or any kind of basin from where she could drink water. Unhygienic was okay, she did not have much choice but the problem was there were none. So she could not bank on drinking water and killing her hunger.

Evelyn set up properly before dragging herself next to the world so that she could lead against it. Joining her hands, she kept them in between her folded legs that came up to her chest and on her stomach.

’Please god," she prayed, ’please, help me.’
