9. Chapter nine.

                                    

                                          
I stretched my arms in hopes of feeling Valentino next to me but unfortunately, I opened up my eyes to find an empty and cold bed as Valentino was nowhere next to me. 
I sighed in annoyance as the time was only ten in the morning and he was already out of bed even though this time of day was pretty much late for everyone else.
"Valentino?" I shouted in hopes he was somehow in the bathroom but unfortunately he was not.
I had an appointment check up with a new doctor Viola had arranged around one in the afternoon. I would be turning four months pregnant in a few days.
I sat up hissing in pain before mumbling a few profanities of my own. Valentino had surely kept his words from last night.
I smiled remembering how rough Valentino was with me but completely delicate and careful not wanting to harm my stomach in any way.
Just seconds later our bedroom door opened and instead of Valentino or maybe even Viola. It was actually a servant.
"Here you go madam." The same servant that had walked in on Valentino and I about to have sex placed a platter of food on the bedside table and stood at the door.
I quickly took the plate up slicing the chocolate waffles with honey, scrambled eggs, bacon and orange juice while moaning out loudly at the mouthwatering taste.
After three rounds of nonstop sex with Valentino I was more than drained and hungry.
"Breakfast in bed? Did Valentino or Viola have you do this?" I questioned very happy to have my food in bed.
Maybe Valentino was being thoughtful.
"No I just thought because your stomach was growing so much you'd rather eat your food in your room rather than walking all the way down the stairs to the kitchen." She smiled at me.
But even though she was smiling I couldn't quite understand why her words came out harsh.
Something was very odd about her but I'm sure Valentino wouldn't hire someone that was of unsound mind to work for him.
They were very particular and absolutely careful in who worked for them since all there staffs were highly paid and family well taken care of.
One wrong move thier entire family would be wiped out whether or not you were working for them a long time or in a short period of time.
But then again this was the mafia, even one of Valentino's men had betrayed him.
But this particular maid was acting completely different from the rest. Her behavior was entirely odd.
Or maybe I was just being a little paranoid?
"So you made this decision to bring me food on your own?" I lifted my eyebrows out of curiosity.
"Yes madam."
Well that's odd.
"Where is Valentino?" I asked her.
"Valentino had stepped out a few minutes ago to get a few business errands done." She exclaimed.
Another odd thing.
"He told you that he was going to get a few business errands done?" Valentino would never confide in a mere servant about these types of things.
He even snapped at me when I had asked where he was going. 
And she also addressed him as Valentino and no other servant has ever addressed him by his first name. Surely, I wasn't just being paranoid.
"I know what his business schedule is like. He'll be back in around mid-day or about an hour after." She smiled but this time it was something of a smug look rather than a smile.
The more this servant talked the more I was feeling skeptical of her. I wonder if she was going crazy, even my stomach was starting to churn.
I stared at her eyes and she had this crazy look. I made sure to keep the fork close to me in case she was to do something.
"Oh, so you normally keep track of when he leaves and comes back?" I questioned placing the plate down on the table.
This time I was even more skeptical of the food.
"Yes but not only that, we both share a special connection. Something like what you guys shared last night before you came along." Hearing her words I quickly ran to the bathroom spilling my guts out.
I poked my finger down my throat in hopes of getting everything I had eaten out my stomach.
"Why did you bring me this food?" I questioned her after a minute of throwing up what I just ate.
I made sure to keep a view of her as she stood at the bathrooms doorway.
"Oh nothing. Since we're basically connected together by Valentino, I thought why not look out for each other? I mean we'll be seeing each other around ever so often." The bitch chastised.
I knew she was lying with the tone in her voice. Not to mention the fact that she was nice to me before I ate the food she brought and then being a completely changed bitch the moment  I ate the food.
"If anything ever happens to my baby. You won't have to worry about Valentino taking revenge you crazy bitch. I will kill you myself." 
I wanted to alert someone of my situation, but I knew the longer the food stayed in my stomach the more harm my baby was in.
"I did nothing to your unwanted child Emelia." She spat my birth name with disgust.
Once I was confident enough that I had completely emptied my stomach I immediately got up and headed for the door but before I could reach the door an excruciating pain hit me, and I scream out in dire pain.
I dropped to the floor as tears threatened to spill and I thought of how I had managed to protect my baby for so long but all of that was now evaporated in the space of minutes.
I looked down on my legs to see that there was blood flowing down before another excruciating pain hit.
I had managed to make it to the door in time but the moment I pulled the doorknob another excruciating pain hit making me fall to the floor as the lights closed in on me.
My baby was in danger.
