Chapter 20: Chapter 20

"Leornard are you okay" i asked when he came out of the kitchen but he ignored me, walking past me towards the door.

"Leornard" I called out, my voice loud. He stopped and turned around

"Stay out of my business" he barked, then turned around towards the door.

"You are going to leave, again?" My chest hurt to have said it, "once you leave, don't come back"

"Is that a threat" he turned around again and started walking towards me, slowly and dangerously, like a predator going after his prey. I almost faltered but I had to put on a strong act.

"You are carrying my baby" he said, his voice low but threatening.

"Yes and I'm not just a mannequin, I'm a full fleshed human being, I need support not stress, not pain, not anger" my voice was up the roof "why tell me you would be here and be a good father and then leave, you shouldn't have just said it at all. You should have stuck to your damn contract" I breathed.
