Child
“You must be joking..” Layla blurted out as she couldn’t believe her ears.
Carla had lost her mind, what she was requesting was totally out of it. There was no way Nolan was going to do that.
“I’m serious, Layla,” Carla said, her voice firm. “Nolan has to give me a child, and then you’ll be free to leave with Noelle. It’s the only way to protect everyone.”
“You can’t be serious!” Layla said, shaking her head in disbelief. “Nolan would never agree to this. You’re delusional.”
Carla’s face turned dark, her eyes flashing with anger.
“I’m not delusional, and I’m not going to give up until I get what I want. You’d be wise to cooperate, or things could get very ugly.”
” You must be silly Carla… ” Layla snapped in anger.
“Do I seem like I’m joking with you?” Carla raised a brow at her and then she laughed.
“Nolan is going to have sex with me.. ” she spelled out word by word for them to hear.
“And then I’m going to get pregnant and bear his child..” she said proudly for them to hear.
“You know that’s very absurd. There’s no way Nolan is going to touch you. He’s married with a kid… ” Layla reminded, in case Carla was forgetting that fact.
” I know that Layla… ” Carla began. “But we both know that I’m supposed to be Nolan’s Luna and the mother of his children, not you… ” she concluded as she looked like a scary witch with a burn on her face.
” Nolan was never yours to begin with!! ” Layla wanted to scream at her repeatedly so that it would stick to get head. She didn’t get why Carla was so obsessed with a man who would never look her way.
Nolan had never harbored feelings for her, she was just a girl whom he felt the need to protect as her only family she had died saving him.
He was basically her guardian after the death of her father.
“Nolan is my mate. He’s my life. He’s Noelle’s dad. I’m the only one he loves. We are the only family he has and he would never think of looking at another woman. So please Carla, give me my daughter. I beg you. Layla cried as Noelle was crying as well. Carla held her at gunpoint.
“He was never yours Layla!!!” Carla yelled.
“If you never had appeared in his life Layla. He would have married me and I would have ruled beside him…” she stated in a menacing tone.
“Don’t you get it? He still wouldn’t have chosen you. Nolan feels nothing for you..” Layla said painstakingly. Now she really wished Carla had died in that fire years ago, how did she even survive that? Then she prayed for the peace of her soul, but now She prayed that Carla would never find peace.
“Look, Carla..” Nolan began. Just get Noelle to go. We can talk this out. We can… ” he assured softly but Carla was not in for any of it.
“No!!!” She would never agree with that.
“I have prepared for all of that Nolan..” she smiled.
“There’s a bed inside and you’re going to f*ck me and make me pregnant. You’re going to plant your seed inside of me!!”
“Have you lost your mind, Carla!!!!” Layla yelled, what was she even saying?
“You shut up and don’t even try to utter a word here. If you do I’ll blow the brains of your precious daughter, now Nolan… ” she directed her focus on Nolan.
” Where were we? ” The corner of her lips curved up in a sinister smile.
A cold sweat broke out on Nolan’s forehead as he listened to Carla’s words. He could tell that she was serious, and he knew that he had to do whatever she said if he wanted to protect Layla and Noelle. But at the same time, he couldn’t imagine touching Carla. It was simply not an option.
Carla’s gaze never left Nolan’s face, and he could feel her eyes boring into him.
“So?” she asked, her voice low and threatening. “What’s your answer?”
Nolan swallowed hard, feeling as if he were on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
” Your daughter or not. You f*ck me and take your daughter. Chose the clock is ticking… “She said, Carla’s thought was that if she bore Nolan’s child, he was going to take her in. Every man loved their children.
“Carla you know I can’t do that. I’m married..” Nolan tried reasoning with her, but she suddenly pulled the trigger and pointed the gun at Noelle.
“Your daughter or me??*
” Alright, Alright. I’ll do it… ” Nolan accepted without a second thought. He loved his daughter a lot and would do anything for her. He could go as far as dying for Noelle and Layla.
However, he knew he was going to hate himself after it and would never be able to look at Layla or even touch her. He needed to save Noelle.
” Good now we’re talking.. ” Carla smiled excitedly as Nolan slowly approached them. She was beyond happy that her plan finally worked.
“Daddy..” Noelle called as she hugged her father, the moment he came near them. Layla was behind them, crying her eyes out.
“Noelle my dear are you okay?” He asked wiping off the tears on her face but Carla abruptly dragged Noelle roughly away from Nolan.
“Daddy!!!” She cried as she was being pulled away from her father.
“Let her go this instant, Carla. You’re hurting my daughter..” Nolan warned in a menacing tone. A murderous glint was evident in his eyes.
“Don’t hurt her and let’s get done with whatever you want” he said with disgust.
“Good!!” Carla giggled happily as she let go of Noelle and went to hold Nolan’s arm out of her happiness. Seeing Noelle was away from Carla, he seized that opportunity and hit the gun out of her hand as it fell on the ground.
“Mommy!!” Noelle screamed as she began to run to her mother in fear, and then she fell to the ground.
“Elle..” Nolan and Layla screamed out in concern as their daughter fell to the ground.
Carla who was just recovering from the impact that Nolan used hitting her hand, her eyes caught the gun, then she picked it up without Nolan noticing as he was focused on Noelle and she quickly aimed at Noelle.
“I wanted you.. ” she gritted her teeth and then pulled the trigger right at Noelle.
A loud gunshot was heard and everywhere suddenly began quiet.
Noelle was wrapped tightly in Layla’s arm and she seemed to have lost consciousness.
But then, blood was seeping out of Layla’s chest as her own body was covered with blood.
Her eyes were still open but one could see life leaving them slowly as they held nothing but pain. She took the bullet for Noelle.
