"It's your mum" he said, his face gleaming with excitement.

Paul eyes narrowed, surprised by his daughter's words, they both knew she was always busy.

Bella's voice rose up a little, "she's always busy, never available, all that's just an excuse, now she's trying to call me? Why pretend like you love me now? I don't understand why you keep running back to her like a lost dog, Arghhh, your wife disgusts me."

    Jennifer paced restless in the bedroom, her mind going back to Bella's shocking announcement. She was pregnant? Hadn't they just gotten married recently? How long had he been cheating on her throughout their relationship?"He never loved her", she thought to herself.
