Chapter 0001

THERE'S BEEN A MIX UP

"I'm sorry, the pregnancy was not successful."

Lulu Bridge put the phone down and cried in her hands.

She had tried all sorts of things but yet she couldn't conceive.

Her biggest dream in life was to become a mother.

"Why am I being punished so much?" She cried in her hands as her husband, Alex Moore, wrapped his arms around her.

"It's okay, we will conceive," he snuggled her even closer.

"I'm tired Alex."

"Why don't we go down to the hospital for an IVF?"

"Do you think it will be successful this time? Do we have enough money for one?"

Alex had been fired for a long time so Lulu had to work multiple jobs.

"We will make enough money."

She dried her tears, this was why she loved her husband the most, even after being married for four years, Alex still loved her so much.

He kissed her forehead, "anything to make your dream come true."

Sure his family hated her and broke ties with her for not being able to produce a proper grand child.

"But what if it still fails?" She had this sudden fear envelope her.

"Then we will adopt a child," he assured her.

"I love you so much Alex."

"Not as much as I do."

Three months later

Her hands were still trembling as she held the report in her hands, "I'm truly pregnant after all these time."

Her eyes were blinded by so much tears that she couldn't see the road ahead.

She was too excited that she couldn't help but call Alex even though he would be at work.

There was no response.

"We are finally going to be parents!"

She kept chanting these words before finally pulling a taxi over.

She went home, staring intensely at the paper, would it disappear if she looked away.

"Tonight calls for intense celebration, I should pull out my most sexy outfit, and cook the most luxurious dinner for my husband!"

She set to cooking.

She made a delicious banquet of all of his favorite food.

She looked through her wardrobe, she didn't have a sexy enough lingerie.

She didn't enjoy sex these days as it was a reminder of her barrenness but not anymore.

"I'll go shopping for the most revealing lingerie!" She took her wallet and hurried out of the house before he could show up.

On her way home, she drove past Emery Andrew's house.

"Stop!" She yelled at the taxi.

"But this is not the destination you asked for ma'am," the driver was surprised.

"Yes I know," she shrugged, hurrying to pay him.

Emery was her best friend since high school, the two had been close ever since, she was the only person who would be genuinely happy for her.

She had used up all her savings on ivf but it didn't bother her, with her husband's job, they would be back on their feet in no time.

She was so close to Emery, they had each others' house key.

Opening the front door, she saw the living room in a mess, clothes scattered all over the floor and wraps of food.

"She has a man over for sure, Emery is always messy with a date." She rolled her eyes, picking up and tidying after her.

She heard sounds from the bedroom, she was right after all, Emery had someone over.

She inched closer to the bedroom and heard Emery sobbing.

"How do we tell her?! She'll hate me."

"No she won't, she loves children very much in fact!" A male voice assured her.

Why would she be crying? It worried Lulu.

"How can I tell her I'm pregnant?! Even if she loves children!"

Lulu was shocked. This was good news! She didn't even know Emery was seeing a serious date.

"How can I tell her that her husband got me pregnant?"

"It doesn't matter, she's barren anyways, it's her fault." The voice told Lily.

"She doesn't have to find out…" he said

Wait, that voice.

Lulu barged into the room, no wonder that voice sounded so familiar!

"Alex?!"

Both Alex and Emery were startled getting to their feet.

"Lulu it's not what you think…" Alex started to defend himself.

Lulu took the words right out of his mouth with a slap, "so this is what you're up to, lying to me that you have to work late at night? Cheating on me with my best friend?"

Her eyes went glossy with tears, "how can you betray me??"

Holding his affected cheek, Alex frowned, "and so what? I was only keeping up for your sake now that you know the truth this way," he pulled Emery closer to him, "I'm actually in love with Emery and she's pregnant with my first child."

Lulu stood there in shock.

Emery sniffed, "I'm sorry Lulu, I didn't mean for you to find out this way."

"Wow…" Lulu was in disbelief. "The two closest people to my heart…"

"Please leave, I'll meet you at home and we can discuss further, I don't want you to stress Emery and the baby." Alex shunned her.

Lulu had no choice but to turn around.

"I can't believe I am having a child with this devil who I mean nothing to, I'm not going to keep a child with this loser!" She cried as she got into the taxi.

She forgot all about her dreams and was fueled by anger.

"How can Alex repay me this way?"

She told the taxi driver her destination and in a few minutes her phone rang.

Sniffing, she wiped her tears, it was her doctor from the hospital.

Perfect. She can get rid of the baby once and for all.

"I was just about to call you," she informed the doctor.

"Mrs Moore, there has been a terrible mistake!"

She frowned, "what do you mean?"

"We just found out, the sample that was mixed with your egg, does not belong to your husband."

"What?!" She was confused.

"I'm afraid there's been a mix up of the sperm ma'am."
