Baby shoppingThe test result was staring at me officially telling me that I wasn't going to be a mother to the child I was carrying. I felt myself tear up. someone might think they were tears of joy. Of course, it's a good thing to have a child but even better if you were having a child with someone who loves you or at least cares for you.I wiped the tears quickly before Markus could notice them." I'm going to become a father." He asked like he couldn't believe it." Am going to give you the world my child, anything you want would be dropped at your feet. My sweet child." There was no doubt he was going to love this child with all his heart. But I wanted this child to get love from both parents.When Markus finally collected himself together he looked up at me, but not with love or anything warm. He just had that look of approval like I had finally accomplished a purpose. I was finally useful." You have to be careful what you eat. I saw all the sweets you consumed. You're carryi
The Surprise He didn't have to remind me that I was carrying a child, that I was at high risk of not being able to watch, crawl, or read bedtime stories to him or her. If my plan of making Markus fall for me fails I knew I was doomed. I was going to lose this child forever.People were looking at us with eyes full of admiration. Of course, to the world, we looked like the happy couples expecting a baby, only if they knew.We had gotten so many items I lost count. Everything cost a fortune. Did Markus think that any of these meant anything to the child without the love from both parents?I was getting tired of moving around with them. I didn't even have a yet but I was feeling so lazy. Markus didn't want anything that wasn't the best." Markus, I'm tired. I'll just sit here." I said as I took the next available seat. Markus turned and quickly rushed to me." Are you okay? Do you feel pain anywhere?" He asked me and I shook my head telling him I was just tired." Aren't they cute?" Tw
Chapter 16" What do you mean you're going to be parents?" I asked like I didn't already know what those words meant. It couldn't be true right?" Are you deaf or you just can't comprehend simple English? By the way, the news isn't for you. Am here to share this happy news with Markus." She said as she glanced around the house." Like I said he isn't here. Go look for him in his office or something. Go share your happy news." My voice sounded so furious." Why do you think I came back here? I called his office but they wouldn't put me through to him even when I told them it was very important."Yeah, very important. I didn't know what to think, my mind was blank, I was pregnant for Markus and now another woman walked in here claiming to also be carrying his child.I was confused. Suddenly not in the mood to converse with her anymore I turned to head back to my room, I needed space to think. What would happen now if the child she was carrying was really his? Would he marry her while I
Why a child?" What are you doing here?" I asked her as I stepped into the room fully. Imagine my surprise when I found her comfortably lying on my bed like she owned it." What does it look like I am doing to you? Am taking a rest. Wouldn't want anything to stress me because, you know, being pregnant and all." I couldn't help but roll my eyes, I didn't know how long she was or if she was even pregnant but she sure was overreacting." Am sorry to burst your bubble, but this room belongs to me."" Not anymore." She said with so much confidence I was taken aback. Did Markus tell her to stay here? There were many rooms in this mansion and she didn't see anyone but this?What was going on?Maids started entering my room and I turned to look at them in confusion." Rena, what's happening?" I asked as Rena entered and she stopped turning to me." Ma'am it seems the boss wants your things transferred." That was the only information she gave me before she joined the others to take my things
Pregnancy Hormones If people were given an award for bad timing it would be given to me. Everything was going so perfectly and I just had to ruin the mood.At my question Markus just froze on top of me, not saying a word, not moving. It was so awkward." Forget I asked," I said like I hadn't already ruined the mood beyond repair.To my disappointment, Markus got up from me not sparing me another look, he picked up his towel and went into his closet.The room grew silent. What was wrong with me? Why do I keep forgetting the fact that I wasn't his wife and didn't have to explain anything to him? I was nothing special, and whatever treatment I'd be receiving from him would be because of the child. Nothing more.My lust was replaced by frustration as I stood up and walked to the balcony. I heard him come out of his closet and walk out of the room.I stood by the balcony for a few moments before walking into the room to rest. His bed was way bigger than mine and more comfortable. It didn
KNOW YOUR PLACE.We fell on the bed both satisfied. As soon as I told Markus what he needed to hear, he didn't waste time in showing me the moon and stars through his touches. It was an experience that would live rent-free in my head.He stood up from the bed stack naked and my eyes couldn't help trail his butt until he disappeared into the bathroom. He came back later with a soft towel in his hand as he told me to open my legs and I did so without question. He used the soft towel to clean between my legs and it touched my sensitive bud making me bite my lip to prevent the moan that threatened to escape my lip.Markus returned the towel as he made his way back to the bed and then he drew me to him. My heart skipped a beat but I quickly reminded it that whatever special treatment I was receiving was because of the baby.He held me in his arms until I fell asleep.I woke up the next morning to find the bed empty. Markus must have woken up quite early. " You're up." I heard his voice ev
The Orphanage I didn't feel bad for what I had said to her. At one point it felt like I was trying to state clearly to her that even if Markus was to get married to another woman that wasn't me, she wasn't qualified to be my child's mother. She failed big time.I stopped the car when the lights became red. I knew Markus complained about me going out but that didn't mean I was going to listen. I wasn't a prisoner.The lights turned green and I drove forward. Rena was seated beside me in jeans and a white top." Did I tell you you look very beautiful in this outfit?" I said to her as she turned to me with a smile. I saw the blush on her cheek and couldn't help but smile." Thank you, ma'am." She said as she had her eyes on the road. I've been meaning to talk to her about calling me ma'am, it makes me feel old. I could tell we were not too far off when it came to age." Jane," I said as she turned to me in confusion." My name is Jane, you can call me Jane when we're together, but if yo
The private Investigator It was finally confirmed. This lady was indeed crazy." And how is that supposed to be your business miss?" I asked her as I looked her up and down, was she just filled with the habit of causing trouble or what?" I live in this house."" So? I don't see why I have to tell you where I am coming from. But just in case you wanted to know, I went somewhere without your disturbance, somewhere I don't have to see your face at every turn I make. Hope that filled your curiosity?" I didn't wait to hear even a word from her, I walked up the stairs leaving her shooting daggers at me.Like seriously, the audacity. I went into the room and fell on the bed in exhaustion. It was a long day." You look tired," I screamed in fright as I heard Markus' voice. I forgot that we were now sharing the same room." Yeah, but I'm fine now," I said as I looked at him in question. What was he driving at?" You closed quite early today," I stated as a matter of fact, he wasn't one for
A FAMILY " Dad! Dad! save me Mom is going to kill me," Alexandra shouted as she ran up the stairs to her father like she always does." I've warned you several times not to touch the cookies until it was time to serve them" Each time I baked cookies she always found a way to sneak into the kitchen and disappear with one, she was just like her father. They were a team at taking cookies from the kitchen." Have you seen Alexandra?" I asked Markus who was seated on the bed pretending like he didn't hear me, without even getting his answer I could already see Alexandra hiding behind her father's back." No, I haven't seen her, Why?" Like always, he'll cover for her." So there's no one behind you?" I asked as I started walking slowly to where she was hiding behind her father." So who's this?" I started tickling her through the sheet that she had covering her. She broke into a fit of giggling." Mom stop," " Will you pick cookies again?" " No Mom, Dad save me already," " Okay, okay,"
DEATH " Please I'll do anything, just let me know where my daughter is," I said to her hoping she wouldn't end the call. I didn't recognize the voice of the lady speaking." Listen to me carefully," She said and I nodded then realizing she couldn't see me I spoke." Yes, I'm listening." " Don't you try any funny business, if you do, your daughter dies." I heard crying in the background as if they were trying to emphasize their point." I'll do whatever you say, as long as you give me my daughter," " Okay, I'm going to send you an address, make sure you come alone, no police, just you," " No funny business, I swear," I said, trying to plead with her." I'm glad we have an understanding, because I'm sure my tigers wouldn't mind munching on her little flesh," My heart skipped, I couldn't dare imagine the image of tigers feasting on my baby.The phone suddenly got disconnected at the same time Rena opened the door.I almost forgot I was warned not to tell anyone the information I had
THE STRANGE CALLERJane has refused to talk to anyone even after she woke up. We were now home. I had to call the doctor to come check up on her and he confirmed that she was okay. What was happening to her was all because of the shock.She has refused to eat, no matter how many times or what type of food was brought to her.The last thing she said was I want my baby. After that, she refused to speak.Now I was trying to get her into the house. She wouldn't listen, she had been sitting and waiting in front of the house." Jane, let's go inside, please this isn't going to help with finding Alexandra, I can't focus on you like this please," She finally listened as she grudgingly stood up and walked past me not uttering a single word.I sighed as I turned to go inside but stopped when I noticed someone walking towards the house." You've got to be kidding me," I muttered as my eyes shot daggers at him." What do you think you're doing here?" " I'm not here to see you, I'm here for my fr
KIDNAPPED The world around me became dark, everything around me was covered in darkness like I was being cast a spell. Alexandra wasn't in her room, she wasn't with Markus then where was she?" Ma'am, ma'am," I felt someone shaking me but my mind was too clouded. The person didn't stop which made me eventually come back to my senses." Alexandra, Alexandra," That was the first thing I said as soon as I realized myself and remembered my situation." Go! Go! Tell the security to search the whole house, search everywhere, my daughter is in this house," I said as the maid quickly kicked into action.If I found out Markus was playing some silly games with me I swear I was going to chop off his balls.I went to Alexandra's room to search for her, for all I knew she might be in her room.I opened the door and rushed to her bed but she wasn't there. Alexandra was still a baby, she couldn't sit or crawl, I would have concluded that she crawled from my room to hers but she couldn't. Even if sh
MISSING CHILDI have never pushed someone with so much force the way I just pushed Markus, I didn't know where the power came from." How dare you? What gave you the right to think you could touch me?!" I yelled in anger." What? Do you think you could just throw me and pick me however you want? I'm not your toy, the next time you think of ever touching me, know that you might lose an organ and I will not be held responsible." I was beyond angry and I needed to calm myself before I did something stupid.Markus was looking at me with shock in his eyes as if he couldn't believe what just happened, did he expect me to run into his arms like a woman in heat? He's got to be kidding me.Without sparing him another glance I ran upstairs. Did he think that just because he had the power to tell me not to see my daughter he could blackmail me and make me do whatever he wanted?I'm a changed woman, he changed me.I opened Alexandra's room and she was sleeping so I quietly walked to her. She had
ANGER KISS I stood in front of his house as I scanned my eyes around, well it was a beautiful building, I had no grudge against his house, I was just here for him.I rang the doorbell and not up to a minute the door came open. I was sure he wasn't expecting me, maybe Jane.The look on his face told me he would rather speak to pigs than spend a minute of his time talking to me." What are you doing here?" He asked with a hard voice, I didn't care if he was sad or happy to meet me." Well is that how you welcome the father of your friend's child?" His jaw ticked but he didn't say a word. I knew what I was doing. I wanted to let him know that whatever happy ending story he had about Jane in his head needed to be wiped. I had the upper hand here. I have the child Jane is in love with and it's just because I don't want her to hate me more than she already does I would have told her that my condition is for her to stop seeing this man." I didn't invite you here, so you might as well go b
NOT FRIENDS I looked at Markus like he had gone mad, he was looking for another way to hurt me. A few days ago Markus didn't want me near my child, so why did he want me back in the mansion? With what had happened between us I had to be very careful, he couldn't be trusted anymore because once bitten twice shy." How is this of benefit to you?" I asked because he definitely had a reason why he was doing this that he was not telling me." This is for my child, you were right, I shouldn't separate you from her just because I didn't want you, she should have her mom," Was I dreaming? Markus agreeing with me on something was something I never pictured even in a thousand years. This was all too good to be true." So what you're trying to say is I can see Alexandra whenever I want, like even right now?" I asked, if what he was saying was true I might as well go see my daughter now." Yes," I didn't need more convincing, I stood up, picked up my handbag, and left. As long as nobody was sto
ANOTHER DEAL Without thinking I rushed to him and threw a punch at him." Markus!" I heard Jane shout but I was ready with my second punch to land on his stupid face but fortunately for him someone stopped me." Fucking bastard, you've refused to stay out of my business," I said with anger boiling inside of me. Jane rushed to him as she took her kerchief from her bag to clean the blood that was on the side of his lips. The sight didn't sit well with me." Markus, what is wrong with you? Why do you want to hurt me so much? First my child, now you're hurting my friends too, what did I ever do to you?" Jane asked with tears forming in her eyes." Jane it's okay, there's no need to cry I'm okay there's nothing to worry about," I watched in agony as the Hardin guy brought his hand to clean Jane's tears. I fisted my hands trying to control myself or else I was going to start punching him till his face was covered in blood.I promised Jane that I would always wipe her tears, I didn't like h
THE COURTROOM I was standing in front of the courtroom dreading going inside, stepping into this room meant I had officially given them the power to decide over my daughter, I didn't know what decision they were going to make. But I was scared.With all the willpower I had I opened the door and stepped in. Hardin wanted to come with me but I told him not to, he didn't like the idea but for my sake, he just had to agree.As I entered the courtroom surprisingly Markus was already in the room with my baby girl held in his arms. Our eyes locked for a moment before I broke the contact. I didn't want to look at him, it was just a painful reminder of what had happened between us, what he made happen.I took my seat as we awaited the case to start.Soon enough I was asked to move to the front where I would stand to answer some questions, if necessary. The judge entered the courtroom and everyone rose. My heartbeat increased and my palm started sweating, this was really happening." This cou
