SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID
The Darkest Hour

Hera had mixed feelings seeing Nella standing in front of her. Why was she here? Her mind told her that it was one of two things. It was either she came looking for Bryce or Bryce had asked her to come. She didn't want to believe in the latter because he would never do

that to her.

He had promised that he wouldn't hurt her so there's no way he would invite her here or did he?

"Hera right?" Nella had asked and Hera only nodded, wondering how she knew her name because if she recalled properly, they've never really had a proper one on one conversation and they've never crossed paths. Did Bryce tell Nella about her perhaps? "Where's your boss?" She had asked and Hera was tight-lipped. She doesn't really address him as her boss anymore and she doesn't know how to tell her that. For the longest of time, she called him by his name as he had requested and it had remained so since then. "Bryce isn't at home."

Nella arched a brow at her, stunned. Since when did Bryce agree to formality between himself and a maid? He was not the type to do that so she found it hard to believe. "Bryce? You call him by his first name?"

"Yes and he's at work. You missed him not too long ago." She informed her. Nella was too shocked to speak. She had come here to reason things out with him and talk to him about them. She didn't want to take the risk of getting embarrassed at his office so she decided to come here and now he wasn't here.

For days, she had been struggling to get through to him but it seemed like he had blocked her everywhere. He was really serious when he told her that it was over. She couldn't believe that he had moved on so quickly without batting an eyelid. She couldn't even show up at his place without giving it a lot of thoughts. It sucks! He was treating her like trash and she hated it.

She was his friend for goodness sake! The person who had stayed with him when he was fighting his demons during the darkest hour. She had given him a piece of herself to the point where there was nothing else to give so why couldn't he choose her? Why couldn't he love her?

"Are you okay ma'am?" Hera had asked when she noted how silent she had become but she only shrugged it off.

"You're the maid working here so I'm pretty sure you know everything that's going on around here right?" She questioned but Hera found it hard to answer that question. She wasn't just a maid anymore. Bryce had told her that.

"Has anyone been coming over to see him?" She asked. "What i mean to say is that...um...does Bryce have any lady friend or woman that he is intimate with?"

Hera corked a brow at her, confused. Was she indirectly talking about her or someone else?

She pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling stressed. "I just want to know if he's seeing anyone that's all."

"I don't know." Hera answered plainly. "Maybe you should ask him that. He's in a better position to tell you if he is or not." She's not in the right position to put a label on their relationship when he hasn't. It must come from him, it has to. "What's that? You're packing? Are those your clothes?" She pointed at the clothes scattered on the bed and that's when it hit her.

"Yes."

"You sleep here? In Bryce's room?" That's absurd. Why would a maid be sleeping in Bryce's room of all places? Nella had thought that she was cleaning up until her eyes caught a stash of female dresses on the bed. Bryce doesn't let anyone into his room. At least for the years that she had known him.

It took her years before she was even allowed into his bedroom. He had always told her that it was off limits so it surprised her to see his maid here. Was she missing something?

"No" The rest of her words were caught up in her throat when Hera suddenly felt the urge to throw up and just like that, she dashed into the nearest bathroom and emptied the contents of her stomach into the sink.

Her head starting throbbing and she splashed some water on her face to stop herself from feeling dizzy before walking out of the bathroom only to see Nella standing there, waiting patiently for her.

"What is your relationship with Bryce Hera?" She had gone further to ask, crossing her hands over her chest. "Are you his sex maid? Are you sleeping with him too? Is that why you're in his bedroom?" "I can't answer that, I'm sorry." Hera let's her down easy. Whatever she shares with Bryce is personal and she wouldn't want to ruin it by letting other people in. At least, not until Bryce does it himself.

"It can't be." Nella muttered to herself. When Bryce had told her about the the woman that he was in love with, was he by any chance referring to her? His maid? Was she supposedly the person who changed him? The person whom he wanted to be better for? "You're the woman Bryce..." She trailed off, finding it difficult to complete that statement. Even she couldn't believe it. "You're the woman that he's in love with?"

Hera didn't know what to make out from that statement. Does Bryce love her? Did her tell her that? Or was she just saying it because she figured out that they were together somehow?

"I'm not." She answered, wishing that it was true and zipped up her suitcase shut. The words that she had just uttered was choking her. "Bryce will be home in a couple of minutes so if you wait a little while longer then you might see him." Picking up her bags, she walked out of the bedroom and Nella trailed closely behind her. She didn't want to believe that Bryce had picked his maid over her. That he had casted her aside because of her. No, she wouldn't let that happen. If Bryce was really in love with her then she'd have to take her out of the picture because if she can't have him then no one else can.

"Hera?" Nella called out to her and she stopped abruptly at the edge of the stairs waiting for what she had to say. Each moment she waited, was detrimental to her plan to leave before Bryce got back home.

"I'm sorry." She apologized and Hera was stunned. Why was she suddenly apologizing?

"For what?" Hera asked but she didn't respond. Not knowing what else to say, she turned to hurriedly leave and just then, she missed her footing and came rolling down the flight of stairs till she landed at the bottom.

Hera cried out in excruciating pain

that shot through her nerves to all parts of her body, shaking her internally, It felt like her entire body was disoriented in a single

heartbeat. Her eyes watered, burning or

her vision as she couldning

make any attempt to shift from that position where she laid in a fatal

position.

In her distorted state, felt something slippery running down her thighs and she winced and writhed, holding onto her stomach as screams after screams tore through her lips in deep tremors. She felt like something was ripping her stomach in two.

Moira hurried back inside and Nella was confused. She only fell so why was she making a big deal out of everything.

"Hera? Can you hear me dear?" Moira called out to her but she was slipping.

"You pushed her?" She screamed at Nella who stood frozen at the spot, trying to apprehend what was going on. "Can't you know that she's with child!? How could you do such a thing?!" She yelled, trying to pull Hera into her arms.

At that exact moment, Bryce walked

in to an unforgivable sight in front of him. Moira had phoned him earlier that Nella had dropped by. She felt uneasy seeing her come in after he left so she did what she had to do and she was grateful that he came

as quickly as he did.

Crouching down next to Hera, he scooped her in his arms almost immediately, careful not to hurt her. "Cara, please can you hear me?" He whispered, calling out to her.

Hera quivered. The pain was like fire

burning her legs. She winced. It blew

up in her head with a terrifying blankness. It was nauseating. Her stomach was on fire. It felt like a hot, sharp knife, covered in salt was slicing through her abdomen and into her muscles and bones. As though her leg had been frozen and a bolt of lightning had struck her body from head to toe.

She couldn't handle it anymore. It was too excruciating. It was more than she could bear.

She fluttered her eyes half open when she felt Bryce holding her. She felt sore, numb and all her body ached tremendously. "Bryce...my..my baby." She mumbled, her voice barely audible as her eyes watered. "I'm going to lo...loose my baby." Bryce looked down at her legs to see the pool of blood that he hadn't noticed earlier when he walked in and that's when it hit him. His blood suddenly went cold as fear washed over him from head to toe at t

he bloody sight. Hera is pregnant and she was on the verge of loosing their baby.
