Pregnant For The One Who Banished Me

"Make sure you scrub the floors well enough, eh?" Matilda, the head servant, instructed before leaving the room. The moment she was out, Vivian groaned and stopped scrubbing. She was suddenly feeling dizzy from all the scrubbing she had been doing since 1am in the morning. And it was just 5pm, or close to that.

"Urgh!" She groaned in pain, as she threw away the brush and sat back on the floor. She looked around the room of the so-called princess she was suddenly cleaning. It hurt so bad that all this was supposed to be hers, but unfortunately, it wasn't.

"Make sure the roses are kept properly in the vase this time. I don't want any of those ugly looking flowers." She suddenly heard the familiar voice and sprang up from the floor immediately. At that point, she had to get back to work if she wanted to stay out of trouble this time.

Just a few seconds later, the door screamed open. Despite that, she still didn't stop scrubbing.

Slowly, the door went shut, and she didn't look up. By looking at the legs and colorful sandals worn, she already knew who had come into the room.

The sound of her footsteps hovered around as she took the steps slowly into the room. Soon enough, she could feel her presence behind her.

What was she planning to do this time? Vivian Wondered.

Suddenly, everywhere went dead silent except for the sound of her scrubbing. She was actually feeling so uneasy at the fact that she was still standing behind her and not a word had been made.

She moved her bucket of water to another side of the room that needed scrubbing. Immediately, she heard the sound of something pouring out on the floor behind her. Vivian stopped and turned to see what it was.

"Oops!" Nora chuckled, and dropped back the wine on the table which she was resting on. Yes, she had intentionally poured the tomato wine on the floor. And it was only to spite her, Vivian .

"Don't you think you should come over here and scrub this off?" Nora said, smirking. However, Vivian swallowed, and did as she said, without any argument.

When she got close, and was scrubbing, she observed Nora move away from the table and went back behind her. Again, she suddenly felt uneasy because she was never up to anything good. If she had spilled wine behind her at first, only God knows what she was going to do this second time.

Sadly, Vivian Couldn't turn back to find out what she was about to do. So, she just went on scrubbing, with great fear in her heart.

Unexpectedly, she felt a push from behind and fell, throwing the bucket of water, and at the same time hitting my forehead on the sharp edge of the smaller glass table right in front of me.

"Ouch!" She cried out in pain. Nora's shrilling laughter added to the pain she felt. The moment she pulled herself out, she felt the blood trickling down her forehead. It was gushing out so fast like the stream behind their lake house.

There was never a day Nora wouldn't torment her.

How could she be this wicked? Vivian Wondered.

Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do at that moment. Nothing but her holding in the pain and tears that threatened to spill.

"Don't tell me you aren't going to clean up this mess you just made?" She questioned, a smirk emerging on her face.

It was at that moment Vivianrealized that the water she had accidentally spilled had soaked up everywhere which meant extra work for her.

Vivian quickly forgot about the injury on her forehead and ran to get a mop to clean up the water which was still on the floor. She knew she was never going to get treated. Her stepmother wasn't going to allow that, neither was Nora. And unfortunately for her, she wasn't one of those wolves who had channeled their inner healing powers.

When she began to clean everywhere, she watched Nora crawl into her bed, sitting and watching her with all pleasure.

Vivian knew she was loving it as usual. But again, she decided not to pay too much attention to her.

"You know," she began to speak, at the same time playing with her hair. "You still have a lot of work to do right after this." She said, and Vivian wondered if she was just telling her, or if it was a question.

At first she said nothing. After all, she has been working for them all her life so what difference does it make now if there's extra work.

"Aren't you the one I'm talking to?" Nora fired at her immediately. And she could tell the change in her tone of voice. She sounded pissed, and irritated this time.

She stopped what she was doing and turned to look at her.

"I'm sorry Nora." Vivian apologized immediately.

Nora only let out a scoff just as she began to step down from her bed. Slowly, she took steps closer to her.

"Hold on. Did you just call me by my name?" She asked, staring daggers at her this time.

"I'm - I'm so - I'm sorry." Vivian stuttered. The fear of what she was going to do to her next gripped her.

"And you think sorry is enough for the disrespect?" She thundered.

"There you are, I've been looking all over for you." They both heard and turned towards the door only to see Vivian's stepmother, and Nora's mother, Ursula. "What is it? What did she do this time?" She asked the moment she walked over to them.

"Can you believe it mother? This wretched thing here disrespected me." Nora was quick to fill her mother in on what happened.

She watched with the fear lingering in her eyes how her stepmother stared at her for a long time. Only God knows what it was that she was thinking.

"And what do you plan on doing with her this time?" She asked Nora, her eyes still fixed on Vivian . Who dared not stare longer at her.

"Are you really asking me that? Punish her of course!" Nora yelled out to her mother.

She waited patiently to hear out the punishment she was going to get.

Was she going to get flogged a hundred times naked, outside, tied to the oak tree? Was she going to be made to scrub and watch everywhere and everything in the mansion? Or, was it going to be that she will have to be starved for a week, and locked in the dungeon? Which was it going to be so she could brace herself up? Vivian Wondered.

"We have guests coming, and it wouldn't be good for them to see a looking human like you." Her step mother began, taking her steps closer to her. "So, you will have to do all the cleaning and dishes in the kitchen and the guest's house. Make sure everywhere is spotless. And don't come out." She said,

Before she could think any better, Nora's whining interrupted.

"Just that, mother?" She half yelled. "Don't you think that's too small?"

"Oh, no darling. She has more to do just after the guests leave." She smiled at her, cupping her chin. "Now, let's get you all ready." She said, and together, they turned to leave the room.

Guests? Vivian Wondered. They hardly have guests.

"Oh," Nora stopped immediately and came back to meet her. "Just in case you're wondering who we're having as guests, today the most handsome and powerful Alpha of a wolf pack is coming to ask for my hand." She said, and zoomed off immediately.

Who was this handsome and powerful Alpha?
