Nera moved to where Marcus was applying lotion on the baby and picked up the lotion bottle. She looked up at her husband, whose skin was starting to pale up."Oooh, my God, Marcus, are you okay?" Nera asked worriedly.She quickly took the baby away and placed him on his bed while Marcus took a seat on the bed."Did you break something? Oh, is it your blood pressure?" Nera began panicking.Marcus quickly held her hands, "Calm down, I am fine. I think I just pulled a muscle," he lied.Nera paused and hit his back. "I warned you to stop carrying Sam on your back!" She stated and walked to finish dressing Sam."Ouch! Did you have to hit me?" Marcus asked."Because you do not listen, I have been warning you, but you never listen to me," she said, rolling her eyes at him.She finished with the toddler and took him to the playroom, where he was eager to play with his toys.She walked back to the room and sat next to her husband. "How is the back?" She asked"Fine, I will take some rest," he
Marcus held his brow, closing his eyes as he tried to calm his anger. He saw predicted from the beginning that the pregnancy issue was going to turn into an obsession the second she mentioned she wanted to be pregnant.The hell from four years ago was back to hunt him, and he knew she was not going to stop until she fell into depression.He quickly held her hands and said, "Stop this nonsense now! Stop it! You promised Nera, you promised!" He yelled at her.Nera pushed at him, freeing her hands."Sam is not feeling well. We have a son, Nera, and his name is Sam!" He yelled at the top of his voice. "Do you care about him?" He asked.Nera looked away as tears began dropping down her cheeks. "You are slowly digging yourself a hole, and this time I am not sure we will survive it," he stated, storming out of the room.Nera dropped to the ground, more tears falling.She had tried to stop but could not help herself. She wanted to be pregnant, and she was going to make sure of it. The idea o
Marcus felt a sting in his chest as he took small breaths. Every word from the doctor's mouth felt like a huge ball with thorns tied to a chain that was being used to hit his chest.His wealth and empire were solely derived from 90% dairy animals and products. His future heir was supposed to be hands-on with the business, but the doctor recommended that they cut all dairy products from his diet and make sure he was miles away from dairy animals.Nera turned to look at her husband, whose face was as red as a ripe tomato. As much as she wanted to scold him, she couldn't. She knew what a blow the news was to Marcus, who had been trying to train the boy into loving the family business and owning it one day.She turned again to face the doctor and asked, "Is there a cure? How can he be allergic to both animals and the product?""There is medicine to lessen the severity of the allergy reaction, but I would recommend he be kept away from animals," the doctor replied.Nera held Marcus's hand
The family returned from the fishing trip excitedly. The trip was successful, with each of them managing to catch a fish, which they grilled over the fire before taking pictures.It was both Nera and Sam's first time to go fishing but they were excellent at it.Nera gave Marcus a kiss before taking Sam in for a bath. The boy was stinking of fish. He was a very active baby and was all over the water the second they were at the docks.She needed to get the seawater off of him and the fish smell off of her.Marcus walked into the bathroom."I am heading out," he announced.Nera got up surprised; she thought they were going to get their night heated up with some shower romance."Where are you going?" She asked. "Did some emergency business pop up?" She asked."I need to go and meet up with the friend..." he tried to explain but could not bring himself to say the words out. Especially since it was a fake meeting."You mean your friend from Alabama?" Nera whispered."Yes, that one, and I ha
On another continent, lying on an expensive bed and sipping on expensive wine butt naked with a head full of blond hair lying on his chest, Frank let out a grumble.Four years ago, he had promised himself to enjoy the money without shame for the horror he had gone through, but he did not forget to invest.There was no reason to live a life of regret when he had saved his little brother's life and was thriving and living a normal life.It was difficult when they just moved to a foreign country, especially with his mother, who was so full of regret, but his smile and never appearing to be a victim of their circumstances eventually softened her up.And because of her love for baking, he opened a bakery to keep her mind occupied with something that she loved.While he enrolled himself in the best university in the world and invested his money in something that he loved and knew he would flourish at.Four years passed, and not once did the past return to haunt him. Marcus's name was an ech
The words baby kept ringing in Frank's head as he recalled his mother's dream of being a grandmother to a second child which linked him to Marcus with a second child. He could hear his heart beating very fast."Do not hang up and hear me out," Marcus quickly spoke up after a stretch of silence."I will pay you double if I have to and expand your business even pay for your wedding with Shelby," he pledged. "Or you can ask for whatever you want," he added when he did not receive a reply.Frank breathed in hard, trying to calm himself "What…happened to the pregnancy?" He asked wondering if there was a miscarriage or if the child just died."Nothing, my wife and I just want another baby," Marcus replied confidently"The contract clearly stated…" Frank tried to explain."Forget about that stupid contract, I am talking about a new contract," Marcus replied.Without hesitation, Frank hang up the call and began smashing his phone with his feet. They both signed a contract to never communicat
Frank's knees felt like they were pricked with thousands of nails as he tried to walk to where Shelby and Marcus stood waving and smiling at him.He could hear his own heart beating as if it wanted to get out of his chest. The old man had just crossed the line; he had no right, he kept thinking to himself as his blood boiled."Hello, love," Shelby said, hugging him as soon as he reached where they stood.Frank was not paying attention to her as he had his eyes fixed on Marcus, who had his usual irritating smile on his face."Ooh Frank, this is Mr. Welbeck; I bumped into him at the entrance, and he is looking for farms to invest in," Shelby introduced. "I was just telling him about your farms." Marcus reached out his hands for a handshake, but Frank ignored him and turned to his girlfriend."Shelby, you can't just be telling strangers about my business," Frank replied, pulling her away."Frank!" She held back, a little embarrassed, but Frank kept dragging her away. "I thought you wer
The next few days, Frank lived a life of constantly looking behind his back like someone owned his life or he had a life loan with the loan sharks. He could not sleep, as he felt Marcus would pop up any second and tell Shelby everything about his dirty past.He was somehow regretting daring Marcus to tell the world about what they did to his wife. It was a bald move he had wished would scare off the old fool and show him he had nothing against him.But three days later, there was no sign of the old man or any calls from him. At first, Frank assumed Marcus got back to his senses and went back to his country, but when he passed by the fourth apartment, he was apparently renting, he noticed Marcus watering his flowers and the old man waved at him.He wondered how a married man would stay away from his wife for so long and in a different country. He wondered what kind of lie he made up or if the wife was ever suspicious of the sick man that she was married to.He had a lot of questions bu
