The Past(5)

[Warning: Rape, Abuse, Male Pregnancy]

Rose heard the voice coming from the room she was standing in front of.

The count's room!

She could clearly hear Blake's trembling voice begging not to harm 'them'.

She was not sure but she guessed that 'them' were actually herself and Nick.

The guilt hit hard. 

'He must have begged him to release Nick.'

Rose had the sudden urge to see Blake. She slowly opened the door, not letting even a crack appear. Within the little space, she placed her eyes and tried to look for Blake.

But she saw something she shouldn't have seen. She saw that scene in her nightmares until she died. She couldn't save him. She was useless!

That's the inner thought that haunted her all the time.

When she saw Blake's face, she was shocked. He looked like he had grown old a lot. Sunken face, bruises, loosened skin... As if he had not eaten for long. He didn't look good.

Suddenly a slap fell on Blake's cheek startling her. Blake fell back to the huge bed with no energy to refuse or beg anymore. Rose watched the count tearing off Blake's clothes and hurriedly thrust into Blake's body.

The count was only 25 years old and he was one of the youngest counts so far. He was full of energy and young bodies always had more desire. Blake couldn't resist it. He ended up passing out under the count's powerful and violent thrusts.

She felt horrible seeing the scene. Blake was crying and looked lifeless. But the count laughed and slapped him again and again to stop him from losing consciousness.

When every scene folded in front of her, she covered her mouth and ran out of the mansion as soon as possible. As soon as she came out of the mansion, she leaned on the tree and vomited everything. She vomited and vomited, her eyes blurry with tears, her body was trembling.

"Blake...Hic hic! I am sorry...I am sorry. Hic...What should I do? Please, forgive me, I couldn't save you! I am sorry."

She kept apologising because she knew her crush after that fake smiling man was what led him to that situation. Only if she never got involved with him!

"Rose..."

Suddenly, from behind, Rose heard Nick's voice.

He looked guilty and didn't dare to look up at Rose.

"Nick...I- I must do something...Nick...do something! If not he will die pretty soon! Please do something…hic!"

Nick hugged Rose and comforted her as he could. Seeing her desperate to save Blake, Nick couldn't wait at home. He also decided to follow along with her steps.

"I will help you to talk with him. I made friends with a guard there. He will definetely help us for some silver coins."

With Nick's help, Rose got to meet Blake in secret after two days. 

That day, Rose got around half an hour to have a talk with Blake in his cell.

She couldn't believe her eyes. The Blake in front of her at that time was a totally different person. His handsome face had grown gloomy. His skin looked dirty and he had bruises left untreated everywhere. Even his face had very serious wounds, not just bruises anymore. He was abused. There were no second guesses about that.

Rose teared up in front of Blake.

Blake didn't have much energy. He looked very weak. His voice also sounded hoarse.

"Don't cry, you idiot. You look ugly."

Blake forced a smile and said. Rose couldn't stop her tears.

"Blake...your belly-?"

It actually took some for Rose to realise Blake's belly was big. And she felt like thunder hitting her.

She know what his bulged belly meant.

"I...It's that I am-"

While Blake was hesitating to answer her, Rose helped him complete the answer.

"You are pregnant?"

Blake looked at her in surprise but with an ashamed look on his face.

"How do you know?"

"I know you are an omega."

"How?"

"Nick told me."

"Ah?"

"He told me after he came home from prison. I was really surprised that you are going through such things. Blake, let's escape from here."

"Rose...I can't do that."

"Why?"

"I am telling you I can't. I have to give this child to him."

"But- he is not good to you, right?"

"It doesn't matter. And I don't feel like seeing the outside world anymore. I just want to die. I have already given up all hope. So please don't force me."

"...Blake...You have me and Nick. We will look after you. We will protect you."

"No need. I will just die here. I want you guys to stay away from me. Please..."

"You are stubborn as always!"

"If you want to help me so much, can you do me a different favour?"

"What is it? Anything!"

"The baby in my belly is ready to come to this world after three days. I am afraid the count will sell it. His life will get ruined. I don't want that. And if it is not an omega, they're gonna kill the baby!.. I need a favour. Can you raise this child if I hand the baby over to you?"

"...Are you sure?"

"Mm...I will do something and keep the baby with me until the night of the third day. Can you come and bring him away? As far as possible..."

"If that is what you want..."

"Thank you. That's what I want. That's enough."

"I have a question."

"What is it?"

"How did they know you are an omega?"

"They must have accidentally seen my mole."

"What mole?"

"This mole...This one in the eyes means a person is an omega. However, not everyone who has a mole in their eye is an omega. Just like Nick. He also has one in his eye. That day, Eiden was confused because both of us had them. That's why he arrested both of us."

"...I understand. But how did they confirm you are the omega?"

"Didn't Nick tell you that too?"

"...No."

"If you look at the fire closely, until a few minutes later, the mole will remain red. That's how omega's mole in the eye is different. I want you to teach those things to my child and let him acknowledge everything to protect himself. I need to let him live a good life."

"Don't worry. It's a promise. I will take care of everything."

When they were done with their talk, it was all teary. Actually, that day she sneaked in on him, Rose didn't see Blake's belly. Maybe she didn't see clearly. 

And then, when she realised that guy was slapping and having sex...no! raping Blake in such a violent manner when Blake was bearing a child in his belly, she felt so sick.

A disgusting monster! How could someone even think about doing such a thing to a person? Especially when he was pregnant?!

How painful would have that been?

No surprise Blake had lost his hopes for a good life.

Rose couldn't even imagine.

That count deserved to die. If Rose was right, the child in Blake's belly was originally the count's.  So Rose knew the count didn't care for the child or Blake. He just needed that money.

Or else why would he still be so cruel to the man who was bearing his child? 

Why would he just let him live in a dirty cell in such a bad state?

That man never cared about them.

Rose wanted to kill him so badly.

She felt so much pain just thinking about what kind of trauma Blake had gone through.

Then what about Blake? He experienced everything himself.

That must have felt like hell.

The day they called him an omega, Blake had no idea what they were talking about. When the count described everything, Blake already knew what was coming. He couldn't run away.

The count threatened him using Rose and Nick. The count didn't like it when the other party wasn't cooperating in bed. So he threatened Blake to be obedient.

From then on, Blake was pushed to the count's room every night. The count would not let go of him no matter how dirty he looked. That guy was like a sex addict. He had no limit. When all those thrusts kept continuing, Blake knew his body was feeling strange which made him feel he was actually such a weird human being called omega. He thought he was cursed. 

Every night, those thrusts went into his body with violent force. He had bite marks all over his body. His body got very weak and even walking felt very hard. When the doctor said he had got pregnant, Blake sighed thinking the count would stop having sex with him. But it didn't stop. That guy got even more intimate and he kept saying he wanted Blake to give more children so he could sell them and become more rich.

The count actually preferred Blake's body. So he didn't intend to sell Blake. He had sex with him and decided to sell his children. Even though those babies that would be born were his own blood, it didn't matter to him. All he thought was they were all money that rested inside Blake's belly.

The inhuman treatment finally made Blake realise he might never get rid of this trauma. So he already planned to kill himself if he could make sure the child would not fall into the count's hand. If not, he would just kill the child also, so it would not have to suffer in the future. 

No matter what, he had made up his mind. He was ready to die and also to kill.

That's the strongest decision he could ever take. He was not a superhero. But a simple man that lived his life getting pampered by Rose and Nick.

So…that was the only thing he had the power for.

First, he thought of killing the count. But it would become a huge mess. He was afraid that Nick and Rose would get trapped in that. He would not let any of his loved ones suffer anymore.

So he thought him dying was the best option there.

When the treasure disappears, the hunters would be left with nothing but disappointment…
