Chapter 38

Jordan was not happy at being treated like a child. They were finally feeding her, and she was making herself eat the disgusting stuff they were feeding her, mainly to give her baby some nourishment and to try and get her strength up so that she could fight them. She was going to do whatever she needed to do, she had to make sure that she found a way to get herself out of there, there had to be something she could do to get released from this place. The woman was shoving the food into Jordan's mouth, and Jordan was trying not to gag at the smell or the nasty taste that was filling her mouth.

Finally the woman set aside the nasty food and picked up the juice she had brought down with her. She shoved the straw into her mouth and Jordan drank the juice tentatively. She didn't want to make herself sick by gulping the stuff down way too fast. She was glad that the juice was wiping away the taste of the nasty food that was lingering on her tongue.

"I know that you don't understand anything about this." The woman said with a sigh.

"No I don't." Jordan said softly.

"There are so many amazing families that will give this child a great home. This baby will have both a mom and a dad, like they deserve." The woman said with a sigh.

"So my husband and I don't get to raise our child because you don't think we are mommy and daddy material?" Jordan asked her confused.

"Husband?" The woman asked her with a frown. "I wasn't aware you were married."

"My husband is Jeffery Nero Hardy. We are happily married and this, this is supposed to be our first of many children." Jordan said softly. Tears were welling in her eyes. Someone had told these people a bunch of lies about her because they wanted to make sure she couldn't be with Jeff or have her baby.

"Well I…" The woman frowned and then turned and left the basement at a run.

Jordan was really confused as she sat there and stared at the stairs. Jordan knew that some friends of hers and Jeff's were involved in this, and she was pretty sure her family was also involved, most likely they gave money to their friends to make sure that they got Jordan and the baby taken out of the picture. Jordan was sure they were going to try and frame Jeff for something or maybe they were going to try and make it seem like she had left him willingly. They might write a fake letter or make a fake phone call. This was something that scared her so much because she loved Jeff and she didn't want to lose him, she didn't want him to think she had left him and then have him go nuts on her.

"Oh god, please don't let Jeff think I left him, please just let me and our baby get home to him safe and sound." Jordan prayed, as she finally let loose with the sobs she had been trying her hardest to keep inside of her.

Jeff was staring at everyone in the room as they all tried to be helpful but instead they were making it worse. Some of the diva's had attempted to pack Jordan's stuff up, almost as if they were all sure she was never coming home to him. Jeff was now sitting in their home, in their living room, and he was surrounded by the very people he and Jordan had trusted for so long and now they were acting like they thought Jordan had done this on purpose. Jeff didn't think for one minute that she would have taken their child and left like that.

"I can't believe all of you! You know how much Jordan loves me and how much I love her! How could any of you believe she would take the baby she is carrying, our baby, that was created out of love and just leave like that? You all know as well as I do that someone took her and is keeping her against her will." Jeff was angry as he jumped to his feet and started pacing, anger filling his whole body as he realized that someone was playing games with him and they were most likely making Jordan's life hell right at that moment.

Jordan looked up as she heard someone walking down the stairs and there was a bunch of people she had never seen or met before standing there with the woman. They studied her and then one of them sighed and pulled a chair close to her.

"Your husband filed a missing persons report on you." The man said as he crossed his arms in front of him. "We were told that you were a single woman who didn't know who had fathered her child. We were told that you were sleeping around and that you didn't believe in monogamy."

"My husband and I have been through so much. My family has betrayed us, they attempted to have my husband arrested, claiming he brainwashed me and stuff, but it's not true. Jeff and I love each other so much, and my family has crossed so many lines. The others that I have seen here, they were supposed to be our friends but apparently they aren't. They are probably laughing inside because they are playing all of us. They are messing with Jeff and they are messing with all of you. I just want to be with my husband, I want to go to my doctor and see my ultrasounds and see my husband grinning as he sees the little miracle inside of me that we created out of love." Jordan said, hoping she could get through to these people.

"Even if we let you go, you have seen our faces, you know what we look like and you could tell the cops on us." The man said, clearly conflicted.

"I don't know where we are, you can blindfold me and stuff. I don't know who you are, I know nothing about you. I can pretend I didn't see your faces, but if they ask me to swear on a bible I can't lie then." Jordan said softly, realizing if she played the religious card it might work better. "Look, my child deserves to be with their mother and their father."

"You won't be safe. They will attempt something like this again, they want to make sure you aren't with your child and I am sure they will attempt to take your life or your husbands." The man said, frowning.

"I can hire major security. I can get extra bodyguards and I know who not to let near me." Jordan said pleadingly.

"Let me think about it." The man said and motioned for them all to follow him back upstairs.

Now that Jordan was alone, all she could do was hope she had gotten through to him and that he would help her and let her leave here. She just wanted to be home with Jeff and she wanted to see her doctor and make sure their baby was all right. She closed her eyes and prayed like she had never prayed before, she hoped they would let her go. Because she knew if they didn't, she would die here.
