I get up early the next day and perform my morning routine. It's not really easy due to my pregnancy, but I've quickly learned to adjust. I've been through worse in the past, and this surely is nothing in comparison to that. A huge difference between both situations is that after all the suffering, I was going to get the greatest gift of all, my baby, but during those times, I got nothing but deep physical and emotional scars. I try to shake off the thought.
I still do get nightmares of Zephyr, well, sometimes, and I get scared when I have certain flashbacks of what I went through in the past, but it's not as severe as it was the first time. Kayden has advised me to go for therapy, and I've even met the doctor. She seems like a really nice person, and I know I have nothing to worry about.
I've decided I'll go for therapy after I have my baby because, for now, I've got important matters to handle and enemies to unveil.
Breakfast is the usual and goes on normally because Margallo decides to have breakfast in her room, something that I'm grateful for.
All the while, I can feel Kayden's steady gaze on me and it makes me feel uncomfortable. He just toys around with his food, barely eating anything, his eyes continuously on me. I can feel it, but I try my best to ignore it. I eat a little and leave the table, planning to drop by Margallo's room and get a sneak peek of what she was up to.
I'm only a few meters from Margallo's room when Kayden accosts me. "Evelyn, I feel like you're avoiding me," Kayden says, and I sigh. I'm really not ready for this right now, but how can I tell him? What should I tell him?
How do I relay to him that he's stopping me from finding out what Margallo's despicable plan could be?
I shake my head in the negative. His gaze at me hardens, and I flinch. His expression instantly softens, and he takes my hands in his.
