Chapter 103 We're Smitten

• Baelakis POV
• I lay on the bed, my world painted in monochrome as the sound of raindrops splattered against the zinc roof above us. The steady hum of the heater and my whimpers of agony filled the room. Wave after wave of contractions crashed down upon me, the mind-numbing pain making it difficult for me to differentiate the walls from the ceiling.
• Cyrus fixated his gaze on the clock, trying not to panic as he withstood my grunts. He held my hand, letting my grip tighten as the pain grew more and more intense. I felt helpless, only being able to hold onto him as my body betrayed me.
