Brenda woke up to the sound of a knock on her door. She opened it to find one of the young maids standing outside.“Good morning, ma’am,” the maid said. “The boss invites you to have breakfast with him. He would like to have some positive talks with you.”Brenda was surprised by the invitation. Yesterday, Damien had apologized for everything he had put her through. He seemed different now, like he actually cared about her. She decided to accept the invitation.Brenda stood in front of her closet, debating what to wear. She wanted to look nice for Damien, to show him that she appreciated his apology and his efforts to change. She didn’t want to appear too eager or too indifferent, so she settled on a floral dress that she hoped struck the right balance.When she arrived at the dining room, Damien was already seated at the far end of the huge table. As she approached, he got up like a gentleman and then sat back down when Brenda was comfortably seated. Brenda felt a surge of gratitude f
Inside a grocery store, Brenda pushed her cart down the aisle, taking her time to select the freshest fruits and vegetables. The produce section was always her favorite part of the grocery store; it was bright and colorful, and the scent of fresh produce filled the air. Brenda breathed in deeply, savoring the aroma, and smiled to herself. Her day had been peaceful so far, and she was grateful for it. She and Damien had had a positive talk earlier that morning, and Brenda felt a renewed sense of commitment to their marriage pact. It wasn’t going to be easy, but they were both willing to put in the work. Brenda felt proud of herself for making the decision to end her friendship with Alfred, even though it had been difficult. She knew it was for the best, and she felt confident that she would eventually come to peace with it.As Brenda turned the corner, she scanned the shelves, looking for the last item on her list. When she spotted the bright red packaging of strawberries, she made her
As the days went by, Damien and Brenda had become inseparable. They would spend most of their days together, doing everything from cooking to watching movies, and their nights always ended with passionate sex. Brenda had never felt so close to anyone before, and she was surprised by how much she enjoyed Damien’s undivided attention. But as the weeks passed, Brenda began to feel tired and restless. She tried to ignore it at first, but one afternoon, as she was washing the dishes and singing along to the radio, she suddenly felt dizzy and had to lean against the counter to steady herself. She knew something was wrong.After a few moments, she made her way back to her room and lay down on the bed. The room started to spin, and she felt nauseous. Brenda hurried to the bathroom and emptied her stomach in the toilet. She felt scared and confused as she had never felt like this before, suspecting that she might be pregnant. Later, while taking a bath, Brenda rubbed soap on her body and notic
The tension between Damien and Brenda was palpable, neither of them spoke a word to each other for the rest of the day. The air was thick with tension as they both retreated to their respective rooms, neither daring to break the silence. Brenda lay in bed, her heart pounding in her chest as she imagined all the possible scenarios that could occur now. She knew she had been careless, but she never expected this to happen so soon. Brenda remained locked up inside her room, too scared to face Damien after he had found out about the pregnancy.Damien, on the other hand, stayed in his room, brooding over the situation. The only time he left his room was to pick up a file from his office. He tried as much as possible not to think about the fact that Brenda had been careless and had gotten pregnant. But what bothered him the most was the belief that Brenda was still seeing Alfred, her lover. Damien thought it was impossible he was responsible for the pregnancy, considering they only started
Damien made his way towards his sleek car, his eyes brushed past his loyal driver, who had hurriedly approached the vehicle at the sight of his boss. With a dismissive wave of his hand, he signaled that he would be driving himself today. The driver nodded respectfully and retreated, leaving Damien alone with his thoughts. He stretched to drop the small bag he had packed some clothes in inside the car, but the bag slipped from his grasp and hit the ground with a thud. Damien glanced at it briefly before picking it up, contemplating the escape it promised. He then shook off the notion and climbed into the car. The engine roared to life, drowning out the whirlwind of thoughts in his mind.Damien drove out of the grand entrance of his luxurious house, his mind heavy with conflicting emotions. The weight of impending fatherhood loomed over him, suffocating his desire for freedom. As Damien leaves the house, he felt a pang of guilt but quickly brushes it aside. He never wanted a wife, neve
Damien stood in front of his childhood home, taking one last look before getting into his car. The mansion had always been his safe haven, but he knew he couldn’t stay there forever. He had a pregnant wife waiting for him, and he needed to face his fears of becoming a parent. As he marched towards his car, Damien’s mind wandered to his father. He had been hoping to convince him to hand over the family business, but his two weeks stay had not been fruitful. Damien was disappointed, but he felt refreshed after spending time in his childhood home.Damien took a deep breath as he walked away from the front door of the mansion. The sun was shining bright and warm on his face, but his mind was still clouded with thoughts. He had not expected to stay up to two weeks, but the comfort of the familiar surroundings had been too much to leave behind. He had spent his days seeking advice from his mother, who was always ready to listen and offer a sympathetic ear. He had also hoped to convince his
The sun slowly rose over the horizon, casting a warm glow across the kitchen. Brenda had already risen early, excited about the new day and the new opportunity. Damien had agreed to care for her after their fight. They both knew that they needed to work together for the sake of their baby. And so, they spent the next few days trying to get back to the way things used to be. And it worked. That morning happened like those times they lived happy. Brenda busied herself in the kitchen, humming a tune under her breath as she prepared breakfast for them both. As she cooked, she couldn’t help but nod her head to the beat of the song playing in her head. She stood flipping pancakes and humming the tune to herself. She felt a sense of happiness that she hadn’t experienced in a while. They were slowly working towards mending their broken relationship.Damien emerged from his room, still rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He was pleased to see Brenda in the kitchen, cooking up a storm as she al
Damien and Brenda continued their love affair, cherishing each moment they spent together. Even though they were always loved up, they had not yet had sex. Damien was careful with Brenda and always made sure that they were properly guarded whenever they were outside. The couple drove around in Damien’s sleek car and this evening, they were having dinner in a classy restaurant. Damien and Brenda sat across each other at the dimly lit table in the classy restaurant, scanning through the menu as the waiter stood beside them. Brenda felt her palms getting sweaty and her heart racing faster with each passing moment. Brenda felt nervous and strange being on a dinner date with Damien. She had never been on a proper date before and if she had been told two months ago that she would go on a date with him, she would not have believed it.Brenda watched as Damien picked the order for both of them and stared blankly at the menu in her hand. The food seemed strange to her, but she knew it must be
