Grant me a wish

"Marry me," he murmured. "I'm the only one that can get you out of this mess." I stared at his dull eyes, knowing my freedom would come at a price more than marriage. "What's the deal ?" I asked, knowing that I won't be satisfied with his answer. "Have a child with me," he suddenly said. "Nurture it for one year. After that, you can leave and have the freedom you have always wanted." I looked up at him. A surprised look has drawn to my face. He sounded too calm for his words to match the seriousness on his face. "Don't worry, sweetheart," he continued. "Your secret is safe with me." "What do you know," I replied confidently. "That expression on your face says it all," he said, slightly chuckling. "I know you killed him, along with the reason why."
