Fred's POVI had just opened the door of my room when my eyes met my mum. She always had the worst timing."What are you doing here, with her?" She scolded me."Mum, you are here?" I was shocked to see where."Yes, I am. You have to stop acting surprised each time you see me in this house. I also live here, and I can decide to show up whenever I want to" she told me, and I nodded."Now, answer my question. What are you doing here with her? When your wife is downstairs" she asked me again."She…well" I stammered, and my mum narrowed her gaze.She was the only woman capable of making me stammer, and act like a weakling."How many times have I asked you to stay away from this girl? She is not good for you. Nothing good is ever going to come out of your relationship with her '' my mum pulled my ear, as she dragged me away from the room.She locked the door from the outside, with Bella inside."What the heck? Fred, let me out of this place" Bella screamed from the inside."Shut up! Fred is
Zara's POV"Fred, I don't want her to be sleeping in a different room. I want you to have the maids move all her things to your room. You are newlyweds, you need to start having intercourse, So I can have my grandchildren early. If you know what I mean?" She stood up from the bed and scolded Fred."Yes mum" he replied, without putting up a fight.I stared blankly at him. Was he Fred, or was it someone else?She had already walked out of the room when she paused close to the door."Oh, and one more thing Fred," she turned around."Yeah, mum?" She responded."I want you to take good care of your wife. I don't think she is feeling fine. Make sure she gets better soon" she told him."Okay mum" he responded, looking at me with anger.She couldn't see the way he was staring at me, because he was backing her."Now, take her to your room. I will get the maids to move her things to your room later" she informed me.And without saying a word, he walked over to the bed and grabbed me by the hand
Clara took Zara to her room so she could calm down. Her hair was rough and she could hear her loud breath from where she was standing."Don't you ever allow that silly girl Bella bully you, or take advantage of the relationship she has with my son. You are his wife and nothing can ever change that, so don't let her have her way with you." Clara said and Zara nodded her head.She is still trying to process what just happened. And a lot of what-if keeps flowing through her head. Zara unconsciously wrapped the envelope tightly on her chest."I can see the envelope contains something really important to you." Clara walked up to Zara and said. Zara nodded her head, making sure to avoid eye contact with her. She just hopes she doesn't ask to see what's inside, she's not ready to let anyone know about her pregnancy.If at all, she's going to make her pregnancy known. She will have to speak with Fred first, they might not be on good terms. But that is the best thing for her to do, he's her hu
Zara woke up and it was already evening, she stood up and made her way to the window. She didn't realize she slept so long, she didn't even know when she slept off. This must be one of the pregnancy symptoms showing up.She already read that pregnant women sleep a lot. Zara immediately got worried and her palms sweaty. Now what is she going to do now, what if mom gets suspicious? She's a mother and will know if someone is pregnant."What if she already knows? Why the heck didn't I tell him before now? I wonder what he's going to think if he knows, he should not be bothered right? After all...." Zara soliloquied but the conversation with herself was cut off."Tell him what exactly? And don't you try to deny it, Zara? I heard exactly what you said, I know you are nothing but a gold digger and you are hiding something from Fred. I will make sure to find out what that is, and I'm going to expose you. I promise you that," Bella said and Zara frowned.She froze immediately when she heard Be
Fred came out of the study room, he has been here since this afternoon. He didn't feel like reading but, he needed to escape Bella for a while. Also, he was running from his mother, she would sure scold him as regards what happened this morning.His mother already formed a bond with his contract wife and that's getting on his nerves. Fred walked out of the study and headed for the stairs. He paused immediately after he got to the sitting room."What is going on here?" Fred asked as he closed his eyes sniffing the aroma that filled the air. He didn't even know his mouth was watering until he bumped into a maid."I'm sorry sir," the maid said."It's okay, I was the one whose eyes were closed," Fred said and the girl bowed her head."Did we change the chef? Fill me in, is there something going on that I don't know?" Fred asked the maid who was already on her way out of the sitting room. She turned back to answer his question with a smile on her face."No sir, it's your wife and your moth

Zara heard the way her so-called husband scoffed at Clara's words and she immediately felt bad. He didn't cause her feelings, why is she even bothered by that? She wondered if it must be because of the pregnancy. There can't be any other reason, she thought to herself."Uhmm!" Fred was confused and didn't know what to say anymore. His mother just placed him in a very tight corner right now. How the hell is he supposed to navigate through this now? He wondered to himself.He moved closer to Zara and she looked up at him. Fred caught the sad expression on her face, and that threw him off balance. He looked at her but he could no longer see what he was seeing."Sorry about that," Fred said and Zara was surprised, why the hell was he apologizing to her? She thought to herself."What for?" Zara decided to ask, she wondered what he was up to. He might be planning to embarrass her, but Fred will never say sorry. The few days she has spent with him already told her how arrogant he is."I'm so
"Zara!" Clara was the one who called out her name."Why are you just standing there? You prepared all of this food, you deserve to come here and see for yourself what you have prepared and also have a taste of course." Clara said and Zara smiled. She walked up to the table and pulled out a chair for herself."Of course Mom, thanks so much," Zara said and smiled. At least there's someone in this house determined to make her life less miserable."Finally, she arrives. Now we can eat," Bella said, Zara looked at her and then looked away. She just wants to eat and go away already, she doesn't have time for her that night.Clara however observed everything that just happened and frowned. She took one of the towels on the table and threw it at Fred who wasn't expecting that from his mother."Mom! What in the world was that for?" He asked his mother with a shocked expression on his face."I'm telling you now, do I need to teach you how to be a husband? Your wife came in here and you could no
