Chapter 2 You Must Get Pregnant

Tamara tried to break free. She gasped, wanting to scream but could only let out a screechy huff. Tamara was mute. She couldn’t even ask for help in the face of danger. Tamara sat in defeat, her eyes reflecting a sense of helplessness. The car arrived at a villa. Once the car rolled to a stop, the bodyguards left. Tamara bit her lip as she entered the living room. When Quentin saw her, he immediately slapped her. "What the fuck do you think you’re doing, Tamara? Were you planning to buy birth control pills? Not a chance! You have to get pregnant with Sebastian’s child! Only by doing so will our family be saved!" Quentin exclaimed sadly as he glared at Tamara. Tamara signed back agitatedly, "How dare you? You have no say over my future!" Was she supposed to get pregnant with Sebastian’s child so that both of them could be used as leverage against him? She would never do that! "I’m your brother! You have to listen to me! You’re part of the Simmons family. Now that we’re on the verge of bankruptcy, it’s time for you to repay our parents for even bringing you up!" Quentin was firm. He turned to look at his wife, Coral Mouse. "Lock her in her room! Don’t let her out for at least a month!" Coral walked toward Tamara with a fake smile plastered across her face. "Tammy, listen to your brother. Ever since your parents left, the debt collectors have bled us dry. Everything your brother is doing is for the family. As long as you listen to him, you’ll soon be standing over the rest of the people in Londsville." Tamara slapped her hand away and threw a glare at Quentin before stomping upstairs. The Simmons family was once a big shot in Londsville too. As for her, when the family found out about her muteness, she was kept away for 20 years. However, she was still raised to be a proper lady. If the Simmons family had not met their tragedy, she would still be her parents’ sweet little secret. However, life had other plans. Their company came into huge debt. Her father, not being able to take the backlash, took his own life. Her mother soon followed his steps. Without her parents’ protection, Quentin showed his true colors. Tamara locked herself in her room and refused to eat. To ensure that nothing bad happened to her, Quentin would come in and force food down her throat. A month later, a maid came out from Tamara’s room, bringing good news. "Miss Tamara is showing signs of pregnancy!" Coral took out a pregnancy test and handed it to the maid. "Go and check if she’s pregnant." The maidobeyed. "Right away." Quentin cheered, "I never thought this would work. Our family is saved!" Coral looked on in admiration. "You’re a true man, honey. With this, the Simmons family is saved. I can live comfortably now." Quentin had his head in the clouds. "Live comfortably? As long as Tamara is pregnant, the Lynch family will definitely take her in. It’s the Lynch family we’re talking about here! They’re the wealthiest family in Londsville!" At the thought of her future life, Coral was over the moon. Soon, the maid came down with the pregnancy test in hand and handed it over. "Miss Tamara is pregnant!" "That’s great!" Quentin exclaimed excitedly. "Go and prepare the car. We’ll bring Tamara to the Lynch family!"
