I caught feelings for a man who was never truly mine, nor was he supposed to be. I fell deep into a love so forbidden, so intense, that it consumed every piece of me. Maybe that's exactly what I get for chasing that "I need a Big Dawg" trend from the internet. Now my life feels like it's spinning helplessly in a raggedy washing machine at a corner laundromat-chaotic, messy, and completely out of control.
I knew better. Those boundaries should've never been crossed-but knowing and acting were two different worlds entirely.
Why did I let myself fall for a successful, handsome, yet utterly dangerous man-a genuine menace to society who showed me a softer side he kept hidden from everyone else? Behind closed doors, we shared nights of passionate kisses, intimate pillow talks, laughter that made us forget our struggles, and moments so intense they left marks on our souls. Yet from the start, it was clear: he didn't want love, didn't desire a family, and initially, neither did I.
Sometimes, you dive headfirst into chaos, desperately hoping the story ends differently. Despite every red flag and every screaming instinct telling me to leave, I chose to stay-chasing a love that was never promised.
Now, I'm pregnant, feeling painfully unwanted, and undeniably desperate-craving the love only he can provide, longing for his touch, needing his embrace to feel secure. The truth was there all along, yet I can't stop yearning to be the peace he desperately needs but won't admit to. Can I somehow convince him that the home he runs from is right here with me, with us?
