Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 287: The upperhand - I

Evelyn felt differently before she even opened her eyes from her sleep. The difference was, the bed felt different. The bed that she had been on was moderately fine but this one was heard. That could meet only one thing, she was on a different bed And she had been transferred to it while she was asleep.

Her eyes snapped open and the first thing she saw was the ceiling that was actually different. Hence, her suspicion had been confirmed.

The moment she tried to get up, she was sent back down.

What? How? She frowned and when she was unable to raise up her hands, she glanced down only to find them cuffed to the bed.

A hospital bed to be exact.

She was bound to her hospital bed, her hands and ankles cuffed to the side.

"What the hell?" What was she doing here? When did she get here?

"Hello!"

Evelyn’s eyes went to the source of the voice in a second and found a woman standing there dressed in a white coat.

"I was told you are not in favour of the pregnancy, but once you see the baby you will love it!"

Not in favour of the pregnancy? What the hell? She was doing everything in her power to make sure this pregnancy survived!

Without her permission, the doctor went ahead and lifted the shirt that everyone was wearing before applying some kind of gel to it.

That was when Evelyn looked around and noticed the machine in front of the woman. She was having an ultrasound without her husband by her side and without her permission!

"Listen to me," Evelyn said slightly breathlessly but with determined courage, "I Don’t care what They told you, I am not in favour of this pregnancy? Are you fucking kidding me? I’m trying everything to make sure that they don’t kill this child. You need to listen to me and get me out of here!"

The doctor rolled her eyes and sighed tiredly. "Ma’am, why don’t you look around you and come back to reality? I am not a psychologist but I can tell you this, your husband very much once the pregnancy—"

"My husband is not even aware—"

"Of course, I am, Evelyn," she wiped her head around at Mat’s voice, " this way we are hair. We need to know how healthy the baby is." With that said, he gave her a pointed look.

That was what he was up to? He was going to silence her after showing her that the baby in her belly was real? Was she not compliant enough for him?

"Now," he smiled and got a hold of her hand before sitting right by her side on the bed, "please Dr, go ahead and show us our baby."

Our baby? Evelyn was going to kick him in the fucking balls before cutting them off with most blunt knife she could find!

Evelyn turned to glare at the woman who ignored her and with a smile on her face, started to operate the machine.

With something rolling on her belly, attached to the ultrasound machine, Just like she had seen 1000 times before in movies, showed them the little pint on the screen that was the size of the baby.

Her baby. The baby she and Salvatore conceived.

They were going to have a baby.

She had not planned for a baby, to be honest. But if they were blessed with one, Evelyn would do everything to keep him alive. The ultrasound just confirmed that there was a life in her, other than her own. A life that she and Salvatore had created.

"Look at that," Matt cooed, "our little peanut."

He said Peanut’, Evelyn was going to make sure she choked on a bag of peanuts in his last moments.

Smiling, she hissed, "nothing is mine and yours. This is my baby and the baby of my husband. So why don’t you go get the fuck out of here?"

"Well, I am done." She smiled and turned off the ultrasound machine. "I suppose you will return the machine to the hospital?"

When she had done that and cleaned the gel of the stomach, she had no idea.

"Yes, thank you." Matt replied and the doctor went out of the door. The moment the door closed, the smile on his face vanished.

"Now look at that, Evelyn, you are pregnant." He snickered. "What better of an opportunity could have landed on my lap? Not only the wife of Alessandro but the first born too."

Evelyn remained silent but the gravity of the situation was understood by her. Matt had the upper hand and in no way was he willing to go. That upperhand was enough, that is Salvatore knew, it would make it easier to defeat him.

Evelyn gave him nothing. "Why am I here? Why did you bring me here? What is the purpose of this ultrasound?"

He hummed and sighed before shrugging. " I realised that at the end of the day, your husband does not have a given number of enemies. There are a lot of people willing to move in his place and I am just making you more exciting," he trailed a finger over her chin, "before selling you."

Exciting? Yes that was definitely yet.

Evelyn shook her head before chucking. " I love how you keep on thinking that you are going to win. How long do you think this trait is going to go on for? The moment you are found, you’re going to end up dead. Mark my words, Matt, selling wives is going to get you killed."

He grinned and it was a full toothy grin. He winked, "Don’t you worry about that, Evelyn. Because I have left many to take over in my place."

"Shh," he said the moment Evelyn went ahead to open her mouth and pulled out a syringe, "it’s time to sleep for you now. Better stop talking." He sang before injecting the syringe in her arm and walking out of the room.
