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

    The Fight" I'm going down for dinner," I said to Markus as soon as I came out of the closet.I didn't wait for him as I was already making my way out of the room. I wonder what he wanted when he knocked at the door.I had to go feed his baby since everything was now about his baby. This child was so lucky, he or she was already receiving so much attention even before being born.I ignored the new trouble of the house as I just took a seat as Rena began to serve me.I looked at Rena but the smile she gave me earlier was gone. Yes, she smiled at me but it looked so forced and Rena barely brought her hair down especially when she served. She was trained that well.Then what was happening? Why was her hair down and why did it seem to be covering her face?" Rena, are you okay?"Her eyes quickly filled with panic and I instantly knew that everything was definitely not okay." Rena, I asked you a question. Is everything okay?" She nodded her head frantically and if I had any doubt before

    The Beach Visit I found Jane with the maid and she was applying ointment on her face. When the maid saw me she stiffened as Jane turned to look at me." Thank you, ma'am." The maid said taking away the first aid kit and excusing us.Jane stood up and was about to walk away too like she didn't see me standing there but I threw her right back to where she was standing." Are you insane?" I asked her as I tried to control my anger." Am I insane? yes. When you let a crazy person live here what do you expect? I might not be your wife but am carrying your child so acord me that respect until I leave your life." She said in anger and I could see her eyes begin to tear up. She wanted to move me with her tears but I was stronger than that." I want a peaceful life so please you can just let me stay in the other wing. I wouldn't have to encounter that woman."" Not happening."" Your child is going to be fine, okay, stop worrying. As much as you call him or her your child you forget I am als

    Mr Brown Eyes" Ouch." I groaned in pain as my eyes shot open. I looked to my side and saw that it had already become red. " Oh my god, I am so sorry." I heard the voice of a man before his face appeared before me.He was tall with beautiful brown eyes and his hair fell over his face from having been in the water.I removed my eyes from his face as I looked back down at the spot where the ball had hit.The man knelt down by my side as he stared down at me with remorse. " I'm seriously sorry, I didn't mean to strike so hard, it was my carelessness." He said as he ran his hand through his hair taking deep breaths in." Nice way to ruin my day," I muttered but I guess he heard me. Some guy came over to him and took the ball apologizing. I expected him to go too but he still knelt unmoving." How can I make you feel better?" He asked but I just shrugged." Let me apply this Jane," Rena said as she took the lotion and applied it on my side. It wasn't some ointment for injury or so but it

    NOT MY WIFE I walked with calculated steps towards the guy and as I got close to where the castle was I pretended to step on something as I fell forward directly on the sandcastle and everything came toppling down." Oh boy. My bad." I said as I stood up placing my hand on my heart in mock innocence it didn't help that Rena was trying so much to hold her laughter. I was so focused on bringing down the castle that I didn't care to look at who was building it until he spoke." Does this count as us being even?" Oh him again." Well, what can I say, it was an accident."" Didn't look like one to me, it looked more like a calculated accident."I snickered." Well, happy rebuilding," I said as I ran off.As soon as we were back on our spot Rena burst into laughter and I joined her." Now I see why you think you're the sand castle witch. That was evil. How did you become a sand castle witch like you say?" She asked as he placed her chin on her knees." Well." I drawled." When I was littl

    THE MOVIE ROOM I blinked as I looked at him in confusion. Yes, I had been reminded several times that I was not his wife, what warranted him to say that this time?There's nothing wrong with making dinner with someone you live under his roof, all he could have done is tell me he wasn't interested in eating.I had come down to get something to eat when my stomach started growling and for some reason, I was feeling alone in the room and thought that making dinner was a good idea." I didn't say I was your wife," I said to him as I turned back to what I was doing I took a piece of bacon and put it in my mouth." How did you enjoy your day?" He asked and I couldn't help but raise my brow in question at the way he sounded. Like everything about my day was wrong." It was fine," I answered of which his response was to hum." Did you say hi to your little boyfriend for me?"At his question, this got me even more confused, what boyfriend was he talking about?" Oh, now you act like you don't

    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
