Chapter Four

My days were spent locked in the apartment, he brought me books and allowed me to listen to music on his record player.

I read Pride and Predjustice, Little Women, Gone with the Wind, and several trashy romance novels that Philip brought me.

In the mornings, he cook me eggs telling me I needed the protein. He make me a late lunch most days of chicken and vegetables. He be gone for several hours and reappear in the evenings. He talk to my growing stomach, have a few glasses of whiskey, and then he would force sex on me. Every single night, and if I tried to say no...he would lose his shit. He yelled and scream about how I owed him my loyalty.

"You are mine, Andrea. You and the baby. Your body is mine now. You need to learn to make yourself available to me. You need to be like you were before Michonne killed Penny. Things need to go back to the way there where. I understand you were sad about Michonne and Milton being dead. But you have to let it go. Focus on the baby," he hissed after I said no.

Then he forced himself on me, putting his hand over my mouth as I screamed. Every single night he raped me. Sometimes twice a night.

I only saw Martinez, Dr. Stevens, and the Governor. I was truly living in hell.

As my stomach grew bigger and bigger, I knew that my chances of escaping were slim to zero.
