"Who is he?"Ana asked referring to Justin.
"Justin Balor, high ranking officer of the martinis," Justin said.
"The martinis, how'd they get involved in all these?"Ana asked tensed or should I say tensed.
"Don't worry ma'am, Mr Justin Balor will handle this,"Sonya said.
"Justin Balor? Hold on, as in work renowned actor, musician, Justin Balor?"Ana asked.
"Yup. That's me," Justin said smiling.
"Oh my gosh!!I'm your biggest fan, I've listened to all your songs and I've literally watched all your movies. Can I get a selfie with you?"Ana asked excitedly.
"Sure, anything for my world's biggest fan," Justin said and moved closer to Ana.
"Dang it!"
"What's wrong?" Justin asked
"I don't have my phone here. That means I can't take a selfie with you"Ana said.
"Well, that's no problem. You can take the pictures with my phone,"Sonya offered and gave her the phone.
"Thank you Sonya,"Ana said smiling.
Click!Click!
The camera went.
"Thank you"Ana said smiling which melted Justin's heart. He had seen many women smile, but this one, it was great.
"Anything for my world's biggest fan," Justin smiled."Um, can I ask you some questions? The martinis will need it,"
"Sure,"Ana said.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"Anastasia Hamilton, wife of Alexander Hamilton," she replied.
"How old are you?" he asked.
"23 but I'll be 24 in a few weeks,"
"How long have you been married for?"
"I've been married for three years now, " she replied.
"Was it of your own accord or were you forced into it?" Justin asked but Ana didn't reply."Ana, Ana, are you okay?"
She started sobbing, "I was forced,"
"By who? Was it your husband who forced you into this marriage?" Justin asked trying to get Ana to talk.
"My dad,"Ana said and burst into tears.
"Miss," Veronica said rubbing her back as a means of consoling her.
"Your dad? Why the fk would your dad wanna force you into getting married to someone you don't love?" Justin asked.
"Isn't it obvious?"Ana asked."Alex is the most feared man in the whole of country G. He fears no one so when he came and asked for my hand in marriage, my dad gave it to him even though I begged him not to"Ana said still crying.
"And when you eventually got married, where you ever treated properly?" Justin asked.
"I wish. Alex always hits me at the slightest opportunity he gets. Most times, when he has a fight with his girlfriend, he pours out his frustration on me by hitting me. This is not the first time I have landed in the hospital because of him" she said crying.
"How many times have you landed in the hospital as a result of your husbands'assaults?" Justin asked.
"I think this is the fifth time. Other times, the doctor is called over,"Ana said.
"Hmmm. is that all?"
"Yes,"
"Miss?" Veronica called giving her the don't lie look.
"Tell him everything, don't be scared."Sonya said.
"I...I...I'm not scared," she swallows."Who's scared,"Ana lied.
"Tell me Ana. What are you hiding from me?" Justin asked.
"Nothing,"Ana lied.
"She's lying sir. She didn't tell you that she's had a miscarriage before," Veronica said.
"Tell me Ana. What are you hiding from me?" Justin asked.
Ana swallowed hard."They are right. I have lost my first child as a result of Alex"Ana said and burst into more tears.
"What? !!!!" Justin was extremely shocked."I don't get. How was he responsible?" Justin asked.
"I'll tell you"Ana said and wiped her tears.
FLASHBACK....
"Ana, Ana, Ana, "Alex called.
"Yes Alex"Ana replied walking out of her room with her protuding tummy(she was eight months pregnant as at that time)
"What did you prepare for breakfast?"Alex asked.
"I made tea and sandwiches,"Ana replied.
"And why did you prepare that?"Alex asked.
"The doctor has advised I always have these for breakfast. He'd given me a food timetable which would be good for myself as well as the baby,"Ana replied.
"Are you crazy?"Alex asked with a slap across her face.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaah,"Ana cried in pain.
"And why are you crying? Did I hit you?"Alex asked dragging her by the hair.
"No, no. You didn't,"Ana replied crying
"Then can you explain to me why you are crying?"Alex asked before pushing her which made her hit her head on the table.
"Aaaaah, aaah, my baby,"Ana cried holding her stomach.
"Miss," Veronica ran to her and made to help her.
"If you help her, then I'll make sure you'll be the one I hit next,"Alex said threatening to hit her.
"But sir, she's in a lot of pain. We have to help,"Sonya chipped in and the other maids gathered.
"Stand aside or you'll never be able to stand again,"Alex said and they stood aside.
"A...Alex, my baby. My...my baby,"Ana groaned in pain holding her stomach.
Alex moved closer to her and bent over so his face was closer to hers."Does your stomach hurt?" he asked.
"Yes,"Ana nodded.
"Should I get you some water?"Alex asked.
"Yes,"
"Monica, get some water,"Alex ordered and Monica brought some water.
"Here you go sir," she said and gave him the water.
"Here you go sweetie,"Alex said and poured the water on her face.
"Aaaaaaah,"Ana screamed.
"Don't you want water anymore? Since you only care about your baby and yourself, then I'll have to teach you to care about others,"Alex said and dragged Ana by the hair upstairs.
"Alex please, let go"Ana cried."Let go"
"Keep quiet!"Alex yelled and gave her a slap. At this time, they were both at the last staircase.
"Alex please my baby. My stomach hurts,"Ana begged.
"Keep quiet!!"Alex yelled and pushed her off the stairs.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaah,"Ana screamed as she fell down the stairs till she passed out.
"Miss,"the maids screamed as they carried her.
"Weakling,"Alex sighed and left.
"Come, let's take her to the hospital"Monica suggested.
"First get her conscious."Melanie said
"I'll go get the water,"David said and left.
"Be fast!!" Veronica yelled.
"Here you go!"David said and gave the water to Erica.
Erica quickly splashed the water on Ana and she slowly opened her eyes.
"My baby, my baby,"Ana cried.
"What's wrong miss? Tell me,"that was Veronica.
"My baby,"Ana cried. Her forehead was now bleeding.
