YVONNE —At the Blue Gate Hotel, I had just driven in and steered my car to the parking lot.As I walked out of the car, I sighed heavily, knowing that my visit here might either end badly or that Mr. Thomas might be disappointed because he would notice I'm pregnant."Oh, God. I just pray he does not do anything I did not expect here. I do not want him to catch me off guard. Let him not propose to me, please, because I cannot turn him down in an open space like this," I mumbled to myself.I gulped hard and took in another heavy breath."I do not want to accept a proposal that I will end up going back to him and start telling silly stories. Like telling him that I'm pregnant. Hell no, I do not want such a thing to happen between me and Mr. Thomas," I mumbled, summoning the courage to walk to a seat.A few minutes later, I sat down, and a black Bentley pulled up and parked just near my car."It must be him," my instincts told me.I fixed my gaze on the car, waiting for the driver to ope
YVONNE —"That is the issue, dear. Mr. Thomas had a ghastly car accident this evening while he was trying to catch an appointment.""What?! Oh, my God. Tell me you are kidding me right now, Elizabeth," I remarked, losing my balance. I did not want to believe that. How could she be pranking me on such a topic?"I'm not joking, dear. Mr. Thomas is in a bad state currently, but he is receiving treatment, and we hope he recovers," Elizabeth continued.I could not withstand the truth, and I fell and collapsed on the floor."Somebody help!" Elizabeth screamed as she noticed that I had fainted. She was literally confused about how I could faint just because I heard that my boss had an accident. Of course, everyone is on good terms with Mr. Thomas, but fainting upon hearing the news about him was something they never expected. Only if they knew that I and Mr. Thomas were more than a boss and a subordinate.I was rushed into the building immediately for treatment.A few hours later, I woke up
YVONNE — It was exactly 9:20 p.m. when I drove out of the hospital, after promising Mr. Thomas I would visit him tomorrow to check on him. On my way home, I was worried about Amanda. And why haven't my kids called me yet, as I had instructed Amelia? At least, they should be worried that I'm not yet at home, as I had told them at first that I would return home as soon as possible. Even if Amanda is now okay, they should be worried about me. Or does it mean that they have lost all the motherly love they had for me? "God, please let this not be a reality," I prayed inwardly. I was already panicking. A few minutes later, I found myself staring at the gate of our building, and I exhaled a sigh of relaxation. I finally arrived home. I pressed the remote, and the gate automatically opened, and then I drove in. I steered the car to the garage and accelerated the car while matching the brake pedal, causing the car to make an alarming noise. I turned off the car and alighted. J
YVONNE —ONE MONTH LATERI was in my office working when I heard a knock on the door."Yes, who is there?" I asked. "It's Nicole, ma'am," she responded. She is Mr. Thomas' messenger."Alright, please come in," I told her.She opened the door and walked in."Ma'am, the director said that he wants to discuss something with you," she said.My heart skipped a beat as I heard that. "Discuss with me?" I muttered, wondering what I might have done wrong."Alright, I'm coming with you," I told her, and she turned to leave.Without delay, I arranged the files I was working on together. I placed them back into the drawer and stood to leave to answer Mr. Thomas' office.A few strolls later, and I was already in front of his office. With my shaky hands, I grabbed the doorknob and pulled the door open."Good morning, sir," I greeted him. "I hope you are fine," I added, showing concern."Oh yeah. I'm pretty good," he replied, a warm smile escaping through the corner of his lips."I'm pleased to hea
"YVONNE —I had just woken up in the morning, and I felt my legs heavy, and I realized that I did not go to an antenatal check-up yesterday."I really need to do this. There are just a few months remaining for me to put to bed, and I'm nonchalant when it comes to antenatal care," I muttered.I reached for my phone and unlocked it. I turned on my internet connection and started replying to my emails as I waited for the day to get brighter before going to prepare breakfast for the family.A few minutes later, I checked the time only to notice that it was already six o'clock."Gosh, I was so busy that I did not notice on time that the day had already gotten brighter," I mumbled inwardly and quickly rose from the bed.I rushed to the restroom to rinse my face and brush my teeth. After that, I headed into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. However, on my way to the kitchen, I heard some sounds coming from the kitchen. It was as if someone was in the kitchen."Does it mean that Amanda insist
YVONNE —The kids had just left for school when I went to Amanda's room to tell her the latest developments.As I was heading to her room, my mind went to the incident that took place at Queen's Hospital, inside the MD's office, Mr. Thomas.It was then that I realized that I did not visit him as we agreed. I had slept off as I returned from work yesterday because of the incident that happened. It even started haunting me right from the office."Well, I think I should call him after speaking with Amanda. He must really be disappointed and heartbroken," I mumbled, sighing.Upon walking into her room, I met Amanda, who glued her face to her phone, smiling as she read something from the phone. It was probably a text from someone."What am I seeing? Or are my eyes deceiving me?" I teased her upon realizing what must be going on. I knew that whatever could have made her smile on the phone that wasn't a comedy must be what my instinct told me."It has finally happened? Am I wrong? And you di
ANDY —"I could not believe what I had just heard from the recorder. It was Sophia's discussion with her father. For real, she was mean when she told me she was going to deal with me.Nonetheless, she was not aware that I had secretly invented the camera and a recorder in the room to monitor her when making calls with her family. At first, I thought she was only making treats as she usually does and would not do as she said before, but she was mean and serious this time.It was the moment I overheard her conversation with one of her spies, who was working in the Alpha Palace of the Moon Stone Pack, Conan's pack, the other day, that prompted me to do this.Although I didn't hear what they were discussing but I heard my name being mentioned alongside her father's name. It was then that I realized that I needed to act faster before she would bring me to shame, making me not achieve my ambition of becoming the next Alpha King of the Moon Stone Pack.And today I did not regret secretly pla
YVONNE —Four months have gone since I rejected Mr. Thomas' proposal, and he has yet to come over it. Honestly, it hurts me to see him in pain. He does not associate with me as he used to, and I have approached him many times to make him believe that I did not intentionally get pregnant in the Moon Stone Pack or was having an affair with someone else all these while we were close to each other, but he found it difficult to believe.In honesty, I would do the same if it were me. It would be very difficult to believe the person did that out of mistake.I was in my office, lying down on the visitors' chair, caressing my protruded tummy after I was done eating my lunch. It was a break from work.Honestly, this month being the eighth month of this pregnancy had been the toughest moment of it, or should I even say the toughest moment of pregnancy I had ever had."I won't stop regretting ever accepting the offer to visit Moon Stone Pack for the treatment of Conan and tackling the plaque that
