Chapter: My First Love
Chapter 040John's POV “John, who really is Jessica to you?” Esther asked. The silence that followed the room was almost defeating. I felt a storm of emotion. I slowly raised my head and my eyes met hers. I saw something in her, I couldn't quite place, perhaps confusion and jealousy. “I'm so sorry you have to experience this,” I said quietly. “Well, to be honest, Jessica and I dated back then in college. She left me for a guy who is rich, leaving me heartbroken and devastated. Since then, I have considered her as just a friend,” I said, looking into her eyes, hoping she could see the sincerity in me. “Look, Esther, there is nothing between us, I promise. I was just trying to help her,” I added. Esther nodded before placing a hand on my cheek, sending shivers down my spine. “I know the man I'm married to. I believe you,” she plastered a cute smile on her face. A wave of relief washed over me. Thankfully, Esther was an understanding person. My mind was crowded with thoughts tryi

Chapter: JessicaChapter 039Esther's POV The house was quiet as I slowly woke up, the soft hum of the morning light filtering through the curtains. I noticed the other side of the bed was empty and showed no signs of John. My heart skipped to beat as different wild thoughts ran through my head.The silence of the atmosphere was interrupted by a burst of laughter. I frowned as I slipped out of bed and followed the sound. The laughter grew louder and mingled with the clinking of dishes. Pushing open the kitchen door, I met a scene that stung more than a knife to the heart. John and an unknown woman standing at the counter had their movements in perfect harmony as if they had practiced this routine a thousand times.The woman leaned closer to John, her hands pushing him as they worked together.I had no idea who that woman was, but I didn't think she was his relative. John, who always seemed so reserved, was laughing at the jokes the woman was cracking. His laughter was so rich and genuine, a sound

Chapter: ConfirmationChapter 038Esther's POV John helped me get seated in the car as I was still in shock about my pregnancy. It felt like a dream. I had been trying to puzzle out what was happening to me. Is it that the doctor who attended to me during my accident wasn't professional, or I was really not pregnant? It's just some misunderstanding. I turned and looked at John who was seated beside me, buried in thought. The silence in the atmosphere was too thick to cut with a knife.‘Do you love me?’ These words echoed in my ears like a thunderstorm. I wasn't sure if I could answer that question so far, since after our marriage John had been considerate to me in every way. I thought these three words “I love you” were not that important and our marriage was still happy without them. I gently place my hand on my belly, emotionally feeling my child inside of me. I wasn't really sure if I was pregnant or not, but, yes! It felt real. All of a sudden, the car came to a halt, bringing me back to life. As

Chapter: What Really Happened
Chapter 037John's POV Reaching the ward, Esther was already asleep; the soft click from the door made her open her eyes slowly. I walked towards her, wearing a smile on my face. “Hey, little doll,” I whispered. She stretched her hand to hold mine, demanding that I sit close to her. “Hey John, welcome back. How did it go?” she asked. “Ah… It was superb, a company was demanding collaboration with us, that's all,” I said. “Uhm… Actually, I'm still in the dark about what you said earlier, regarding your pregnancy,” I added, trying to bring back the conversation. She rolled her eyes before letting out a heavy sigh which made my heart sink. My gaze fixed on her lips impatiently waiting for her to explain. She adjusted a bit before clearing her throat. “It has been years since I divorced my husband, but the memory still remains fresh every fucking day, as if it just happened yesterday. The day I divorced my husband, I was involved in a car accident, and I was a few weeks pregnant…”

Chapter: ConfusedChapter 026John's POV I stared at Esther for about two minutes and was completely confused. I thought we were on this together. I thought she wanted to get pregnant and get rid of me.I took a few steps forward and stood in front of her. “Look, whatever it is in your mind, you need to calm down OK?” I consoled her. “I'm fucking confused, it's just…” she whispered, searching for the right word to say. “It's fine, you need to rest,” I said as I embraced her with a warm hug. I walked her back to her bed. The doctor and nurses stared at us in shock. I felt embarrassed by Esther's actions. I felt like disappearing from the hospital, but no, I couldn't do that. Esther is my wife and I have to be there for her. I needed to calm her down. “Uhm ... . Please can I be alone with my wife?” I asked. “Yeah, sure,” the doctor said before they trooped out of the ward. I followed behind them and shut the door after they went out. I let out a heavy sigh three consecutive times to keep my heart i

Chapter: I'm Pregnant
Chapter 025Esther's POV I slowly opened my eyes and raised my head. I felt a horrible headache which made me wince. I snapped my head and what I saw next made my heart skip a beat. John's naked body was laid beside me. I looked down and that was when I realised I was also naked. my eyes popped out as I was trying to remember what happened last night. I knew I arrived home and met John in the entrance, that was all I could register. “fuck,” I groaned. I shook my head, anyways he was my husband and there was no harm in that. I used the sheet to cover John's body before walking to the bathroom. I took a shower, the warm water washing away the pain that was behold in my body. After bathing I wore a gown and my flip-flops. Heading downstairs to prepare breakfast as it was the weekend and that was the maids' off day.I stood in the kitchen for a while wandering around trying to figure out the fastest food to cook. I needed to prepare the food before John gets down. Food was one of th

Chapter: Least ExpectationChapter 010Zara's POV I was already tired, the stress of the long journey was overwhelming as I decided to go to my room and get some rest. Just when I held my doorknob and was about to open my door, I heard Lucy's voice coming from their room. I stopped to listen to what was happening, but the voice wasn't clear enough. For the past few hours I spent with Lucy earlier she had given me this cold attitude. I just didn't understand her, Johnson was my blood brother. I couldn't snatch him away from her, so why the jealousy?I just hoped they weren't arguing because of me. Driven by curiosity, I walked to the room, and funny enough there it was half closed. Just as I pushed the door open completely, I heard what I least expect from Lucy. “I can't stay with a murderer in the same house, Johnson. You saw it clearly on the news, she killed her son and attempted to kill her husband's employee in his office,” she said, her voice devoid of anger. “W…. What did you just say, Lucy?” I manag

Chapter: No WayChapter 009Lucy's POV “Hello Lucy,” she greeted, plastering a smile on her face. I froze, shocked. Was Johnson insane? After telling him I didn't want her here, he still had the guts to let her come. No! I can't stay with Zara. I can't live with a murderer. If she could kill her child and attempt to kill her husband's personal assistant, then she could kill her brother as well or me, his wife. “Hey, Zara,” I said, my voice dripping with disgust. I rolled my eyes off, avoiding her gaze. We all went and sat at the dining table. The next thing Zara did made my heart tighten. She even had the guts to serve herself without even waiting for me, the wife of the house, to serve first. That felt like a slap in the face. In my own house? I shook my head before serving myself. There was silence for a while between us. The dining room was filled with tension.“Are you sick? You act weird. I know you to be a cheerful person. What happened?” she finally broke the silence. What did she expect

Chapter: LuxuryChapter 008Zara POV It was a great three-hour flight, and I was already tired. I had been waiting for my brother at the airport for almost an hour. He texted me earlier that he was in a meeting. “shit,” I groaned. I dug out my phone, angry and frustrated. I dialed his number and he picked up at the first ring. A wave of relief washed over me.“Hey, Johnson, I'm already tired of waiting, please where are you?” I said, frowning my face as if he could see me through the phone. “I'm so sorry, Zara, the meeting is over, and I'm already on my way. In the next few minutes I will be at the airport,” he replied, his voice soft and soothing as always. Without a reply, I ended the call. I went and bought a snack as my stomach was already empty. After a few minutes, a black Chevrolet stopped in front of me. My heart skipped a beat as I snapped my head away. I heard the car door slam open. I couldn't resist the urge to keep my eyes away. Out of curiosity, I turned, and my eyes pinned on John

Chapter: Wrap up
Chapter 007Zara's POV It felt cold. I rose slowly from the bed, yawning and stretching. The weight of all that I had been going through pressed down on me like a tidal. I stood up and opened the window curtain, the sun's rays projected in my face. Still groggy from sleep, I headed to the bathroom. I took my bath and wore old jeans and a t-shirt of mine I found in my wardrobe yesterday. I walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge. I took out a can of milk and bread and placed it on the counter. I walked to the cupboard and grabbed a cup and a plate. I went back to the counter, took my bread and milk before going to the dining table. I forced myself to eat, swallowing hard on each piece. After eating, I headed to grandma's room. I found her sleeping. Grandma did wake up early, but as she wasn't awake till that time, I knew she worked all day yesterday. She must have been tired. I closed the door gently before making my way out. I hailed a cab which took me to the cemetery wher

Chapter: Nasty CommentsChapter 006Zara's POV I quickly turned back to see who had just shouted my name. It was Toby, my cousin. We did the same school with him, and he warned me about Armstrong, but I thought he was envying me. I didn't listen to him, I was so foolishly and blindly in love. “Hey, what's going on with you? Huh, your son's death and the attempted murder is all over the news. I tried calling you, but you weren't answering,” he said. “Look, if you're here to make fun of me, then please, leave me alone, Toby. I know I fucked up. I shouldn't have married Armstrong but it just……,” I said without even sparing him a glance. “Did you really try to kill his personal assistant?” he cut me off. I raised my teary eyes and looked at him in shock and disbelief. “Did you really think I would do that? Huh? Do I look like a murderer?” I spat as tears rolled down my cheeks. “It's OK Zara, I know you didn't, and I'm sorry about your loss. Charles was a good boy. I will miss him too.”He said as he wrapp

Chapter: Divorce papersChapter 005Armstrong's POV “I don't know why Zara is so stubborn,” I murmured under my breath. I walked back to Victoria, who was still lying on the couch. “I'm so sorry about that sweetheart, Zara never used to be like this,” I said. “uhmm…. She is a very dangerous sweetheart. She nearly killed me. You know that, you have to get rid of her as soon as possible, OK?” Yeah… But,” “Aren't you tired of her, Armstrong? She asked, softly. “You deserve some peace of mind,” she added. “That's right,” I said, nodding repeatedly. I went back and sat on my office chair that was a blend of comfort and style, built for all-day support. I poured a shot of whiskey into a glass cup, I took a swig of it as I stomped my feet. “what the fuck is wrong with Zara? I, myself, want a divorce, but divorcing now will make us the talk of the town, and it might affect my reputation as the CEO of this respected company. I stood up and walked to the window, my finger tracing my jaw. I couldn't beli
