He looked at me taking a deep breath, I stared at his every movement. "The baby is gone, i'm sorry, Mr.Mahfud." As soon as the words left his lips my heart just stopped, everything around me disappeared as his words rang into my head.
My hands slowly formed into a fist. "What the fuck!" I yelled punching the wall putting a dent to it causing everyone to jump. Turning to the doctor and walking up to him grabbing his collar pushing him against the wall. "You could of done something! What kind of hospital is this!" I shouted at him forcing myself not to kill him.
Kevin grabbed my wrist. "Toni." He pulled me off of him.
I clenched my jaw keeping my eyes on the doctor. "What was the cause of this?" Lori asked standing next to me.
The doctor put his lips in a line sighing. "Pills." He answered, Lori gasped and I looked at him with wide eyes.
"She never took pills." I told him confused. "The only thing she would take was her vitamins." The doctor shrugged.
Sara walked over. "What if she was trying to kill the child, what if she took it without you knowing." My head snapped to her direction, Layla wouldn't kill her own child. "Maybe before she was trying to get rid of it, that's why she hid it from you in the first place, but her plan ruined when you found out." No, fuck no.
"She wouldn't do something like that!" Lori shouted grabbed Sara's arm turning to face her. "When she visited me earlier today, she told me she was excited to have a child and have someone by her side when Toni goes to work!" Lori looked over at me. "Don't let her get into your head t-" I cut her off by raising a hand.
Slowly looking up at the teary eyed woman. "I can't handle this right now." Walking away from them and out of the hospital, sitting on one of the benches with my face in my hands. "Why would you do this?" I whispered like Layla was beside me. "Why the fuck did you do it!" I shouted standing up kicking the bench.
I heard heels click behind me turning around to see Holly standing there. "Hey." I rolled my eyes ignoring her stuffing my hand in my pocket. "I don't know Layla, but I know she wouldn't do such a thing." Her voice got closer to me, I closed my eyes feeling annoyed of her voice.
She grabbed my hand gently making me flinch and pull it away from her. "Get the fuck away from me." I looked down in her feared eyes.
"I love you, Toni." I closed my eyes not wanting to hear those words come from her mouth. "I can't stop thinking about, I try not to but every time I'm with Travis it doesn't feel anything like you." I felt my blood boil by her voice, the inner monster was coming out of my body.
I grabbed her wrist tightening my grip, she looked up at me with teary and terrified eyes. "Stay the fuck away from me!" I said through my clenched teeth before pushing her away and letting her go, she instantly wrapped her hand around her wrist.
I shot her a glare before walking back inside the shitty hospital, everyone was sitting quietly the doctor was still talking to Lori. Ignoring everyone I went towards her room. "Mr.Mahfud." The doctor said, I shot him a look.

"I'm going in no matter what." I told him dangerously before storming into the room, my eyes landed on her body laying on the bed asleep, I slowly walked over to her and each step I took, I felt my blood boil.
She looked pale, lifeless, and exhausted. I quietly took a seat beside her bed, I plopped both my elbows on my thigh looking at her with anger, disgust, and betrayal. I shook my head looking down at the floor. "Why would you?" I asked slowly looking up at her. "Was Sara right?" I chuckled shaking my head in anger.
I heard the door open, I wanted to burst and let all my anger out, I turned around to see the doctor walk in with some files in his hands. "Mr.Mahfud, there is important news." I stood up looking at him with a glare. "We ran some tests." I nodded my head looking at him confused.
"Turns out Mrs.Mahfud didn't do it on purpose like your aunt said, we investigated more and it looks like someone crushed pills and mixed it in a liquid knowing Mrs.Mahfud was going to drink it." Someone crushed pills in my wife's drink.
I swallowed hard, it was the milk I told the maid to give her, I looked up at him dangerously. "So you're saying someone purposely killed my child?" I asked, and the doctor nodded.
"It looks like it, what the test is telling us." He looked down at the file, he showed me. "These are the crushed pills, and this is the liquid." I slowly walked away from him looking over at Layla who was still asleep. "You're lucky your brother brought her in time, because if he didn't not only would have the baby died, Mrs.Mahfud would have as well." My heart stopped at his words.
My head snapped at his direction. "I'll be going now, I have to run to the E.R and if she wakes up call me, and again i'm sorry for you loss." He turned around and walked out leaving me alone with my wife.
Someone tried killing my wife and also killed my baby, I rubbed my mustache walking towards the seat sitting down. I blamed her for no reason, but that's my least worry. My only worry is that someone is after her.
Everything was like a puzzle, the poisoning, and the crushed pills. Who the fuck doesn't have a heart? Killing an innocent unborn child. My head pounded at the thought of someone thinking of killing my wife and child.
Someone is out there wanting to kill her, and it's someone in that house, I will not fucking stop until I find that person. It's a woman with blonde hair, we have so many fucking women with blonde hair in the house.
Fucking hell this is stressful, and it hurts so bad knowing I won't be able to protect her, I was cut off by my thoughts when Lori walked in with tears running down her face. "I'm sorry, Toni." She cried wrapping her arms around me pulling me into a hug.
"Someone hates her so much, they killed our child out of hatred." I shook my head when we pulled away, she wiped her tears looking at the pale girl on the bed.
Sobbing soon came from her looking at her daughter. "Thanks for Travis." Lori said holding my wife's hand and bringing it up to her lips kissing it.

Travis, I stood up immediately dashing out of the room to see my mom, Katherine, and Jordan sitting there. "Where's Travis?" I asked them, they looked at me confused. "Well? Where the fuck is he!?" I shouted making them jump.
"He's outside." Katherine said, I nodded fast walking my way out of the hospital.
I walked outside, to see Travis on the phone while pacing back and forth as his bitch is sitting on the bench staring at him. Rolling my eyes ignoring her walking over to Kevin, he stopped pacing when he saw me. "End the phone, Travis." I said dangerously low.
He slowly ended the phone call and slipped it in his pocket. "We need to talk." I told him, walking towards a empty bench with my hands in my coat pocket, Holly went to get up. "Just Travis." I warned, Travis slowly followed me towards the bench. I sat down looking up at him. "Sit." I ordered.
He slowly sat beside me. "What do you want to talk about?" He asked looking up at me.
I looked at him blankly, I clenched my jaw. "I never thought I'd ever in my twenty-two years say this." He looked at me quiet scared but I ignored it. "Thank you." He looked at me with his eyes shining bright. "If it wasn't for you I would have lost my wife as well." I told him, a smile slowly formed on his face, while I held onto my blank look.
He smiled nodding his head. "I wouldn't want to see you suffer or see Layla gone." I looked at him nodding my head with no expression on my face.
My eyes fell on Holly who looked scared, and worried. I smirked knowing she was probably trying to listen and see if I tell Travis about her confession, I stood up looking down at Travis. "Be careful around that woman, she's a snake." I warned him, he looked at me confused.
Before I walked off sending Holly a glare, I entered the hospital walking towards Layla's room to see Katherine holding her mouth sobbing as, Jordan was rubbing her back and Kevin ran a hand through his hair walking back and forth.
"What is going on?" I asked feeling my heart quicken it's pace.
Jordan looked up at me. "Layla found out." He said shaking his head. "She found out she had a miscarriage and went crazy, started crying, screaming, she tried running out of the hospital until the nurses gave her a shot making her go back to unconsciousness." I looked at him with wide eyes.
Without hesitating I dashed into the room to see my mom, and Lori crying their eyes out as Layla was unconscious while holding her stomach. My eyes watered looking at the sight, I closed my eyes feeling a lump in my throat shaking my head not letting myself cry, I've held my tears all my life I won't let it come out.
I'm not letting the weak Toni out, I slowly walked up to them. "You guys should go home and get some rest, i'll be here for her." I told them, Lori shook her head. "Layla wouldn't want to see you two like this when she wakes up again." Lori sighed in defeat before getting up and walking out of the room. "Mom send someone to get her some comfortable clothes." I told her before she walked out the room.
I took a seat beside her holding her hand bringing it up to my lips and kissing it. "Why?" Her broken voice was heard making me look up at her lifeless teary eyes. "Why did this happen." She sobbed covering her face sobbing loudly.
I got up wrapping my arms around her, she held onto my shirt tightly sobbing hard, I felt the wetness of her tears on my dress shirt. "Shh." I rubbed her back, feeling hatred fill me thinking about the person killing my child. "I will find the person who did it and show them no mercy." I told her kissing her forehead.
"Why would they do this? Why do they hate me so much?" She cried louder, squeezing onto me tighter while tears poured out like a waterfall. "My baby." She sobbed, I swallowed the lump that formed once again in my throat closing my eyes tightly.
The sobbing slowly died down looking down to see Layla falling unconscious in my arms. I quickly looked up to see the nurse looking at me with a sad look. "The shot made her unconscious no worries." She said, patting Layla's hand before putting a glass cup of water on the table. "Don't put too much pressure on her or it will lead to more stress and depression." She sent me a small smile before turning around and leaving.
How long was she there? I laid Layla gently down on the bed, putting a stray of hair behind her ear before softly kissing her lips and sitting down on the chair looking at my wife with sadness filling my heart.
The nurse had helped Layla get dressed into the clothes, my mom had sent her. Lori came earlier to check on her, trying to make Layla talk to her but she wouldn't talk to anyone, she kept herself quiet, not looking or talking to anyone.
She would only play with her fingers when someone would enter the room or even talk to her, she looked traumatized, tired and depressed which hurts me to see someone I love that way, I was sitting on the chair beside her hospital bed as she was playing with the food the nurses brought her.
My heart clenched at this sight of her. "Layla, baby." She didn't look up at me, she continued playing with her food. "Eat." She ignored and continued playing. "Layla, I mean it eat." I pressured her, she slowly looked at me with glossy eyes.
I looked down feeling bad for pressuring her, I stood up wrapping my arms around her sitting next to her on the hospital bed, she immediately put her head on my chest and kept quiet. I felt something warm and wet touch my dress shirt, looking down to see her silent crying.
I kissed her head. "It's okay, we'll try again. I promise." I squeezed her tighter against me. It hurts me as much as it hurts her but I'm keeping them away from coming not wanting to show weak Toni again.
"It's hard." Her voice squeaked from the sobbing. "We lost our first child." I know she was trying to hold it in but failed miserably when she bursted into more tears.
"Shh, baby." I kissed sent small kissed to her head. She slowly calmed down her eyes fluttered closed as she fell asleep in my arms.
The door opened revealing the doctor and the nurse. "We ran some test and she's all good to go." He smiled at me.
"Will she be able to have kids again?" I asked holding my sleeping wife.
The doctor nodded his head. "Of course, she is healthy but is a little weak because of the pills so take good care of her and don't stress her out too much, she already lost her child." I nodded my head.
"Thank you." He nodded and walked out with nurse following behind him.
I didn't even realize Layla was awake looking up at me. "Can we go home?" She asked with her voice coming out brokenly, I nodded my head helping her get down the bed, I helped her slip on her shoes before wrapping my arms around her leading her out of the room.
I walked over to the front desk signing the papers, discharging her from the hospital. We walked out, she shivered when the cold air hit her body, the weather is very bipolar in the city we live, I opened the passenger seat sticking her in there shutting the door quickly.
I ran towards the drivers side getting in and shutting the door, she shivered as she put the seatbelt around her body, I turned on the car and quickly turning on the head letting her warm a bit as I drove off.
She put her head against the headrest looking out the window, with sadness written in her eyes, she's thinking about our baby, I sighed grabbing her hand and interlocking it with my own. She didn't bother looking keeping her eyes glued to the window.
I drove into the driveway, turning off the car and quietly unbuckling my seatbelt and getting out of the car quickly making my way towards her side and opening the door for her I grabbed her hand wrapping my arms around her once again leading her inside, the door opened revealing one of the maids.
She greeted us with a nod, ignoring walking past her and towards the stairs, I stopped looking at Layla before picking her up bridal style and taking her up the stairs. I walked towards our room opening it and shutting it with my foot.
I walked over to the bed and laid her on it kissing her forehead, she looked up at me as I turned around to walk out of the room, I felt her soft tiny and cold hand grab onto my big warm ones "Stay." She whispered, I nodded taking my coat off.
Slipping off my shoes and went over to the other side pulling her into my arms, she wrapped her arms back around me holding me tighter. "I remember the pain." She whispered with tears in her eyes, she looked so ashamed and afraid.
I rubbed her side up and down. "Shh." I whispered pulling her closer to me making no space left between us. "I love you." I said, she clenched onto my dress shirt.
I woke up my arm was stiff, looking down in my arms to see Layla still asleep, I kissed her forehead before slowly and gently taking my arm out from underneath her, quietly getting up and stretching my arms.
I grabbed my shoes slipped them on then grabbed my coat, I walked out shutting the door quietly behind me. Kevin walked out of the guestroom. "You're back?" He asked, I nodded.
"Came back, today." I told him, he sighed patting my shoulder.
"Sorry for your loss." I nodded my head.
I didn't bother telling him that I will find the person who was trying to end my wife's life, I wanted to keep it between me and her. Until I find that bitch and fucking ruin her until she knows what kind of pain she put my wife through.
I stormed down the stairs to see Sara on the phone, she froze when she saw me and quickly ended the phone, I ignored her storming out of the house, I walked over to my car and quickly got in. Pulling my phone out and dialing the doctor's number.
"Hello, Mr.Mahfud?" He answered.
"What pill were they?" I asked, not having time to start a conversation.
"Antibiotics, if there is-" I cut him off.
"Thank you." I said before ending the call.
Antibiotics, I nodded my head starting the car before backing up out of the driveway and drove off to the person that will help me find that person.
My car came to a stop in front of his house, walking towards the porch and knocking on the door taking a step back waiting for him to answer, the door opened revealing a toothbrush in his mouth while he was in his boxers.
"My man! Toni." He went for a bro hug but I stopped him.
"Put some fucking clothes on drake." I told him walking past him inside.
He shut the door. "Dude, I had mind blowing sex last night." He said, I looked at him raising an eyebrow.
"I could tell, dumb fuck." I took a seat on his couch.
"You might not want to sit there since we had the sex on the uh couch." He said making me stand up and looking at the couch in disgust.
"Whatever, I need your help." I told him, he smirked crossing his arm.
"Ah-you want your best friend's help for the first time, isn't this shocking." I shot him a glare making him throw his hands up in surrender, before his face turned serious. "I heard what happened sorry for your loss." I nodded my head sitting on the table as he took a seat on the couch.
I sighed. "I need your help finding that bitch who killed my child, she tried killing Layla twice." Drake nodded his head immediately. "Right now." He nodded his head again. "Can you stop doing that!" He went to nod but stopped.
"Let me get dressed." He said running in his room.
I looked at his couch in disgust, my eyes fell on the red lacy thong on the ground making me want to gag. "Stupid ass." I shook my head standing up, looking at his window to see lipstick mark and a body print on the window. "Not surprised at all, so was she a hooker or something?" I asked turning around looking at the now dressed Drake.
"No, I met her at a club, she looked like a clown but was good at sex." He shrugged picking up the thong on the ground putting it in the trashcan.
"Wash your hands, you're not getting in my car with those hands." He sighed rolling his eyes before washing his hands. "And clean your fucking house for once, imagine if you actually find a decent girl what will she say to the mark on that window." He looked at the window and smirked biting his lip.
"That was fun." I rolled my eyes pushed past him and walked out of his house letting him follow me to the car we both got in. "So how is the sex with your wife?" He asked winking at me, I raised an eyebrow. "Is it mind blowing or casual boring." I punched him in the chest causing him to cough. "Definitely casual and boring." I punched him again, causing him to cough again. "Never mind, mind blowing it is then." He held his chest.
