Saved by a handsome stranger

It has been 3 months since everything escalated and my life came crumbling down. My half sisters and Stepmother were the hands that pulled the problem root in my life. My Father wants nothing to do with me, my exboyfriend was a bastard and my best friend Rihanna is forbidden to see or help me. To make matters worse I can't afford to study and finish my degree and I am pregnant, which means I have to work like a slave for my baby.

~~

I work up from my small comfy bed and got ready for work. I looked at the clock and saw it was 5:30. I know that it is unhealthy for a pregnant woman to wake up everyday this early, but for this job I must do this. Job hunting is as hard as getting into a prestigious school. All the jobs I applied too wanted me to either sleep with the boss or to be a push over for a woman or man, which I can't tolerate. Luckily I got a job as a waitress at a well known restaurant called Clarity and earned a mid level income. No one knew at my workplace that I was pregnant except a friend of mine and the boss. I always made sure to hide my baby bump.

I was currently living in the apartment Rihanna helped me to find. It was a small but cosy apartment. It had one bedroom, a living room, a bathroom and a small kitchen. I did my morning routines and brushed my hair. In this past three months I changed my appearance so that I wouldn't be recognised. My blonde hair was cut until my neck, I wore a rectangle spectacle and bought normal clothes instead of my usual designer outfits. Unfortunately these two months I gained lots of weight,which I excised to burn it out, ate lists of different cheap foods and had terrible morning sickness.. tough.

"Now time to go to work" I muttered and sighed.

Sometimes I regret being pregnant.

"Hey Sasha. How are you doing?" Layla my friend greeted. She was a 23 year old chef in the restaurant. She had brown pixie cut hair, dark brown eyes, was dark of complexion and had a curvy body. She was the one who helped me get this job.

"I'm fine just a bit tired" I said and gave a strain smile. I, of course was not fine. Working day and night was starting to past my limit and I developed eye bags. I am trying to take care of my baby by eating a lot, exercising a lot, sleeping as much as I can but also having income was most important to me and my unborn baby.

'I will have to find a high paying job'

I sighed. 'Can't believe my life is like this'

"Oh sweetie" she gave me a tight hug meaning she understood my answer and whispered. "Do you want me to have a word with the boss to let you have less shifts and to give you a bit of a raise? Don't forget you are pregnant."

I nodded with relief. "Hey! Stop being all buddy huggy and get the restaurant prepared for customers!" yelled Cleo. She was in charge of managing the employees and loved giving me a hard time because her boyfriend one time flirted with me. She was a petite woman with red curly hair and hazel eyes.

"Ok-ok" I said and rolled my eyes, and both Layla and I got back to work.

It was the afternoon when the restaurant became full and lively. Orders were brought in and out like a storm, making the workers busy. Being a waitress was sure tiring but thankfully it wasn't a job that would risk harming me and my baby.

"Sasha bring this food to table four" said Cleo and handed me a tray of food.

I placed it on table four but almost spilled the food when I came face to face with my father. He was dining with Stepmother and my evil half-sisters.

"H-Hear is your order, Sir" I stuttered and placed the food carefully.

"About time. I was starving ,right Father" Reina said smiling. 'They don't even regonize me..ouch'

Anger in my heart, I placed the food for Reina and purposely spilled the drink on her.

"Hey!" she shrieked. "Oh my gosh I am so sorry!" I fakely apologized and wiped the stain but it didn't come off ...good. "This was my favourite dress, Father" she complained. Knowing my Father he said."Reina, the waitress already apologized don't make a scene" this caused Reina to zip her ugly lips.

I quickly made my way to the kitchen and hoped Cleo didn't see that, otherwise knowing her she would tell our boss. But that wasn't my main thought right now. I excused myself and went to the bathroom to have some privacy.

Once I entered I immediately sank on the floor with my knees on my chest and wept.

"I can't believe he didn't even regonize his own child" I said between sobs.

After a few minutes I stopped crying."C'mon Sasha this isn't a time to cry" I muttered, wiped away my tears and got back to reality which is to work.

~~

"Are you sure you want to walk alone in this time?" Layla asked worried. It was the middle of the night and I was finished with my shift but not Layla.

I shook my head and smiled."Don't worry I will be fine, I always walk alone on this time remember. You just finish your shift I will be alright" I assured her and waved goodbye.

"Ok.." she whispered worried. I may be pregnant but I was not stupid. I always carried a stun gun with me wherever I go.

~~

I was walking my way home and hummed a tune. I clenched the stun gun that was in my bag tightly just in case. 'I hope I don't get mugged' I thought nervously.

Unfortunately bad luck wouldn't leave me alone. I felt that someone was following me. I quickly turned around but saw no one so I quickened my steps.

'Dont follow me, don't follow me, don't follow me' I thought a nervous wreck and before I realised.. someone came out of an alleyway.

There was three men in front of me. "Hey what do we have here" one man breathed. I quickly wanted to run back but stopped because behind me were two new men. Horrified I realised I was surrounded.

"Stay back!" I yelled and took out my stun gun pointing it at both men in front and at the back.

The leader I presumed laughed. "Do you think a stun gun can take all five of us beautiful? Men.." he said darkly and snapped his fingers.

The men in the back jumped at me and gripped both of my arms. They were able to let me lose my grip on my gun. "Let..Let go of me!" I yelled trying to break free but it was effortless.

The leader took slow steps until he reached in front of me. He grabbed my chin and squeezed it painfully. I winced in pain.

"Now why would I do that. Someone paid a nice amount to get rid of you sweet cheeks but before that.." he said and trailed my body up and down.

I widen my eyes."No! Let go of me you filthy man!" I yelled in tears when he dragged me to the alleyway. He tried to strip me naked but I put up a fight.

Slap!

He gave me a hard slap on my face and successfully tore open my shirt leaving nothing but a bra. He licked his lips and pinned me to the ground. His filthy men were behind him watching the show. The disgusting leader eyes was full of lust and desire.

"I definitely hit the jackpot" he whispered next to my ear causing me to shiver in fear.

Tears escaped my eyes. 'This is it ,huh. I, a pregnant woman with nothing left will be raped and killed tonight.

His hands began to creep up my skirt but he stopped when he heard a commotion behind us.

"Damm it" he muttered and quickly got out his knife.

I widen my eyes in shock and pushed him off of me forcefully but he ended up pushing me hard against the wall. Dazed, I fell on the ground my back aching and darkness threatening to engulf me.

My eyes half shut I saw a man strongly beating up the four men including the leader. Once he was done he hurriedly came my way and checked if I was alive.

"Are you okay?" asked a husky and deep voice of the male

With my remaining strength I clenched the hem of his shirt and whispered."Please..save...my..child.."

After I used my remaining strength darkness overcamed me...
