Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 101

101 Chapter 41

′

"My Lady, You are pregnant." The midwife told her, excitement clear in her voice.

Nyx should have been dancing with joy but she wasn't. She loved children and she wanted so badly to have her own, so why wasn't she happy? At least her husband would be happy she thought but she was dead wrong.

The king barged into the room, his face red with anger. "Leave!" He told everyone and once everyone left he grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to the bed. His grip was tight, cutting all air away.

"What ...are ..you doing?" She managed to ask while in pain.

"What have you done?" He growled bringing his face close to hers. "Whose child is this?"

Nyx grabbed his wrist and tried to remove his grip but he held her in place. Her eyes teared up.

"It's...yours."

"Don't lie to me!" He yelled letting go of her neck. She took in a sharp breath and then began to cough while holding her neck. "Tell me whos child it is while I am asking?"

With a sore throat, "Why would you think it's someone else's?" She asked.

He grabbed her arm and yanked her out of bed. "I have birds who whisper into my ears and I have been hearing a lot about you but I have been ignoring them. Now you have crossed the line."

Birds? Her mother had once told her that many powerful kings either had help from demons or witches. Why hadn't she listened and which one did whisper things into her husbands ears?

"Tell me you are not bearing a demon's child?" He said utterly disgusted.

Nyx froze in place. This couldn't be possible. She could not be pregnant with the devil's child. She hadn't met Lucifer for a month, she could not be pregnant with his child.

"No! This is not his child." She shook her head. "No!"

"Who is he?" Her husband asked.

Nyx kept shaking her head in denial. "No! It's not." She kept repeating. What would she do now? What would happen to her child?

"I don't need you, or this demon child. Guards!"

Nyx panicked as some guards entered the room.

"Lock her up!" He ordered. "Tomorrow you'll be beheaded infront of everyone."

Beheaded? What was he talking about? What about her child?

The guards grabbed her arms and began to drag her out of the room. "Wait! What are you doing? Let go! This is absurd."

"Let her go!"

It had been so long since she had heard this voice.

Mother.

The guards dropped their hands and left the room as if nothing happened.

Nyx turned around still in shock and shaking in fear. "Mother." She squeaked relieved someone came to her rescue.

Her mother looked very angry as she stared at her husband. "I gave my daughter to you, not so that you could abuse her." She told him.

"You gave her to me yet there is a demon in her womb." He said with revolt.

"I'll take care of it, but you won't lay a hand on her."

With a twist of her hand, the king fell on his knees, his face twisting with pain. "Don't forget who gave you the power to order people around." Her mother reminded.

Everything fell into place. The witches supported her husband. That's why he was one of the most powerful kings.

"Nyx! Leave us alone." Her mother ordered giving her a stern look.

Nyx hesitated for a while but then left the room with shaky breath. What was going to happen now? Whatever happened she would never let anyone hurt her child.

After what seemed like forever her mother called her inside again. Her husband walked passed her without giving her a look.

"Come here, dear." Her mother said opening her arms.

Nyx was surprised. She had thought that her mother would be furious but she wasn't. Relieved she ran into her mothers embrace and began to cry hysterically.

"I am sorry mother. I was just so alone. I'll never meet him again. I promise." _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"It's alright. It's not your fault. He is the devil, tricking people and ruining families is what he had done since the beginning of time."

"Please don't let them hurt my child. I'll do whatever you want." Nyx begged.

Her mother grabbed her face. "No one is going to hurt you. I'll look after you." Her mother promised and just as she had promised she looked after her during her pregnancy.

She had stayed with her all the time, saying that she wouldn't let the devil manipulate her again. At this moment Nyx didn't care about anything than her childs safety but sometimes she wondered what her mother told her husband to make him keep quiet.

"He hates me mother. How do you expect me to live with him? Take me home with you."

"This is your home from now on." Her mother said with finality. "You better get used to it. I never said it would be easy."

Nyx didn't know what plans her mother had for her but as her stomach grew and she was near to giving birth she got a bad feeling. She even had nightmares where her mother took her child away from her. Somehow she knew they weren't just nightmares, they were signs.

And then the day came. After much pain and agony, she heard the cry of her baby. The most beautiful sound in the world.

"It's a boy." The midwife smiled holding the baby.

Nyx her held arms out. She wanted to hold her baby. The midwife placed him in her arms and at that moment all the pain and suffering she went through were gone. She looked at her son. He was the most beautiful sight she had seen. His face so angelic that her heart melted and tears filled her eyes.

She held him close for a while but then she noticed something. His eyes. They were just like the ones in her nightmares, sometimes burning like wild flames and sometimes glowing like molten gold. They were beautiful but her mother would not think the same. She was going to take her child away from her.

Nyx stood up despite all the pain. She was going to run away with her child before her mother came, but just then the door opened and her mother stepped inside.

Nyx tightened her hold around her son while taking a few steps back.

"Nyx my dear…" Her mother began walking toward her slowly.

"No! I won't let you take him."

Her mother sighed. "You are only bringing more evil into the world. You don't need him. You are still young and you can give birth to many more."

"He is a child. How can a child be evil?" Nyx said in his defense.

"He won't be a child forever. Now give him to me." She said reaching her arms out. "I won't let him suffer. It will be quick."

Nyx couldn't hold her tears. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her mother had let her go through childbirth just so that she could kill her child. What could be more evil than that?

"You…" Her throat tightened. "You are evil."

Her mothers face hardened and then she nodded toward the maids.

"No, no, no!" They held her in place while taking her child forcefully away from her arms before giving him to her mother.

Nyx fought, cried and yelled hysterically. "Please mother! Don't hurt him. He is just a child. I'll never forgive you if you do."
