Chapter Prologue
9 years ago
Darren met the girl he was using to forget he had lost his one true love in the run down motel. He just wanted to be buried inside the girl and lose himself for a few hours. This is how it went, he would be sober for a while, miss his wife and ring what's her name? Jane, Jess whatever it was and then they would meet after he had drunk a lot and he would use her body for his pleasure. She got pleasure from it too and he would forget that his wife was dead.
"Darren, I'm glad you called. Baby I got something to tell you" Jasmine purred out. She couldn't wait to tell her lover the good news of being pregnant with his child. She knew he would then finally take her home with him and she would be treated like a queen. "Take your clothes off Jane, I want to be balls deep in you in 5 seconds" Darren slurred out. Jasmine brushed it off and did what she was told. She loved how this man could use her body and make her see stars.
After a night of passion, Darren was woken by Jasmine. It was now time to tell him about there baby. "Darren, I'm pregnant with our baby" she rushed out as Darren stood to leave the room. Darren swung around looking at the girl and finally seeing the young kid looking back at him.
Darren slipped on his pants, he knew he fucked up. "Get rid of it" Darren spat out. "What? You never once used a condom, you wanted me pregnant. You told me" Jasmine rushed out. Darren shook his head in disbelief, he had loved seeing his wife pregnant with his child, but this wasn't his wife. This was some kid who saw Darren as a ticket to the good life. "Look, I'll pay you to get rid of it. This is a mistake, you are merely a child. Fifty grand to get rid of the child" Darren calmly told her. Inside he was a mess, he knew how wrong this was, he saw the damage he was doing to this girl and he knew the damage it would cause his family.
Jasmine was shocked, she never once thought Darren would not want this baby. The words he had spoken to her during the nights of passion did not match what he was saying now. "No" was all she could muster up and say. "One hundred grand to get rid of that thing and never contact me again" Darren stated pulling out his phone ready to get it sorted. Jasmine didn't believe the man standing in front of her and Darren took the lack of answer as a yes ringing his assistant to get it sorted.
"Paul, I want one hundred thousand dollars transferred to ...." Darren started then looked to the woman he had used for the last 9 months not knowing her name. "Jasmine Murray" Jasmine muttered to Darren not believing that this was the same man who made her body come alive with the simple command of 'take your clothes off' or the sweet words he would say as he blew her socks off with how he used her body to bring pleasure to both of them. "One hundred thousand dollars to Jasmine Murray immediately Paul. From my private account and then delete all traces of the transaction" Darren stated before hanging up his phone.
"Look Jasmine, there is nothing between us. It was sex that's all. You are young, get rid of that thing and live you life. Forget about this and move on" Darren stated before dressing and leaving the room. He never wanted to see that girl again. He was ashamed of himself for what he had done and how he used a child to make himself feel better. He knew he needed to get himself sorted and be there for his boys. With that he went home to shower and forget about the mess he had caused while grieving for his wife.
Jasmine was stunned at what had just happened. Darren had whispered to her months ago how he couldn't wait to see her belly swell with his child. He would tell her how he couldn't wait to see the changes her body went through while carrying his child. He would take her over and over again to make it happen and when it did he told her to get rid of it.
Jasmine was so confused at what the man she loved had just done. She quickly showered and decided to leave the motel. She would not make it easy for him when he came back for her and her baby. She would use the money to get herself a place and wait for the man to come claim her and the baby. She would not get rid of it, this must be one of the games he liked to play with her. He often would call her other names when they made love and it drove him wild when she answered him so she assumed that this was all a game and he would be back to ravish her body soon enough.
Little did Jasmine know that he wouldn't be back at all. He was deadly serious about getting rid of the baby and never seeing her again. By the time she realised though, it was to late and she was about to birth the baby alone with no support. She had been kicked out of her parents home when they found out she was pregnant. She was alone and hurt by what the man she loved had done.
Jasmine got herself a small apartment to rent with the money Darren had paid her. She paid a year in advance in rent. She brought everything she needed and had enough money to get herself a second hand car and then she would have to get on a parenting payment once the baby was born to support them both. She had no formal education besides her HSC as she worked in the shop her family owned but she couldn't dwell on that now. She had to think about the baby she was bringing into the world.
