I enjoyed reading this chapter. Lots of action, emotion and the plot moved forward. I understand the character's fear of bringing a child into the forced labour situation.
One small thing:
'He's a tall, colossal of a man.' This sentence is repetitive, since colossal means tall, and grammatically incorrect. Colossal is an adjective, so he'd either be a colossal man or a colosseum of a man.

Thank you so much for reading my chapter, your encouraging review and for catching my mistake. I'm glad you could relate to Anna and her dilemma how she didn't want the child to go through all the horrors she had.
Thank you again for reading my chapter, your help and support always means a lot to me, take care.

It is so important that Anna was able to keep her baby. I so much could identify with the story. Happy New Year!

Thank you so much for reading my chapter and your fantastic six-stars. I'm doubly honored. You were forced to make a very tough decision, but knew it was for the best. I'm glad it worked out, that you was able to meet your son, that he understood. My family had a similar situation. I met an uncle I never knew I had. I was skeptical at first but he looks identical to grandpa. Grandma later told me about the affair.
Thank you again for your marvelous review. I'm very honored. Take care, Happy New Year to you too.

I'm glad Alejandro intervened. I'm sure Isabella told him. Many women do this without telling the man. I've never thought that to be fair. Anyway a great chapter. Look forward to the next.

Thank you so much for reading my chapter. I'm glad it worked out as well as it did. I'd hate to see another child go through all the horror she did. You're right, he does have the right to know, unless telling him would put her or the baby in danger, of course.
Thank you again for all your help, support, encouragement and friendship. It always means the world to me, take care.

I'm glad Anna found a way to keep her baby. It must have been hard, and I can see why she wouldn't want to bring him into the world she lived in at the time. Glad she and Aljendro found a way to work things out.

Thank you so much for reading my chapter. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I was hoping to make that point, that there are two ways to look at it, that the choice isn't so cut and dry many still don't see it that way.

Hello Mistydawn.

This is an interesting depiction of an event that has become commonplace. Being in a position to consider abortion is all to prevalent in the country. She made a choice based on the facts at hand. She knew the risks and consequences but made the decision to do the right thing in my opinion.

Thank you so much for reading my chapter and for your kind review. This was a very hard decision for her, knowing what she'd been through not wanting her child to suffer the same fate. It's one decision she didn't regret.

I felt all of Anna's emotions when considering abortion. I was so thankful when Aljendro came to the rescue and saved a child from a painful death. Oh, these chapters tug at my heart.

Thank you so much for such a warm review. I'm so glad you could empathize with Anna what she was going through. This is a deeper, more emotional story than what I usually write. A learning experience for sure.

Thank you so much for reading my chapter. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Anna has had a hard, heartbreaking life, kidnapped, trafficked at the ripe old age of ten.
Thank you again for your support. It means a lot to me, take care.

"I glance over at Isabella roll my eyes and say, "If I don't I'm sure she will." You've brought out the difficulty when everyone knows your business. Although, today the human gossip line is escalated with social media. This is a believable exchange: ""Do you want another child to go through what we have?"
"Of course not, but..." My question always is why the but?? But means we didn't mean a thing before the 'but'. It made a difference that she had a son. This raises a good discussion. What is she had been a girl. Wow, a great story how you kept the reader on edge. Great work.

So glad he stopped the abortion in time this is something that would have haunted her the rest of her life she was so lucky that's for sure.
