Eliza woke up that morning feeling nauseous and tired, everything was irritable to her and she could not even bring herself to smell any food because she felt she would puke. She walked around the sitting room before summoning up the courage to enter the kitchen and get something ready for her husband.
She decided to prepare coffee and bread toast which she placed in front of him as he settled down fully dressed for work but the reaction she got was not she expected
“What is this trash you are placing in front of me?” Peter roared at her making her shudder
“What do you mean trash? This is breakfast” she slowly responded and before she could blink, she heard a loud bang on the table
“Why would you wake up and serve me this? Am I running a café in my own house? I want some good food so get me now” he yelled and banged the table with his hands
“Common Peter, I told you yesterday night that the pregnancy is getting to me, I cannot stand the smell of anything. I even had to summon up courage to get this done for you” she complained and that was the height of it
He flipped the tray of the table and the sounds of crashing plates filled everywhere, his eyes were hot red and his body was trembling with anger. He began to walk towards her while she walked back to the door while facing him
“Peter, calm down” she pleaded with fear in her eyes
“You want me to calm down? Do I look like I want to now? How dare you use a useless baby to guilt trip me?” he glared at her
“Peter, what do you mean by useless baby? It’s our baby” she muttered rubbing her belly as she fought the tears accompanying the painful words she just heard from her husband
“Our baby? Don’t kid me! I never told you I wanted one and didn’t I tell you to get rid of it? Why are you still carrying that thing in your stomach?” he snapped as her back touched the door and he banged it making her scream
“I cannot abort the baby Peter” she said with trembling lips
“If you cannot abort it then get out of my house or I will be the one to abort it myself. Don’t let me come back and meet you with the baby” he warned and fixed his tie before turning to leave
She ran to hold his hand and pleaded for him not to do that to her but he just paused, sighed and turned to her suddenly
“Get your filthy hands off me!” he screamed and pushed her to the door forcefully
Her back slammed at the door and the force bounced her forward making her land on her belly, she groaned in pain as she struggled to touch her belly but she could not touch it before she closed her eyes and fainted while blood trickled down her thighs.
