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
THE HOSPITAL VISIT I knew the moment my eyes opened that I wasn't in the movie room. The smell of the room told me that.I groaned as I sat up on the bed, why was my head spinning like I was drunk?I looked to my left and Markus wasn't on the bed so I got up and made my way to the bathroom still half asleep.I entered the toilet and sat down to pee. That's when my senses started working and I heard the sound of the shower running. He was inside here too.I would have to get out without him seeing me, I didn't want to face him already.I tiptoed hoping he wouldn't hear me but just as my hand touched the door he spoke." From the moment you opened that door I knew you were here, so why are you trying to hide?" His voice was jumbled by the sound of the running water as I turned to glare at him. Refusing to look further than his face.He raised his brows at me but I didn't mind." You're acting like you haven't seen more than enough during our strenuous activities. Or does your boyfriend
MOVING OUT" You?! What are you doing here? Don't tell me you are stalking me?" I asked as I gave him a small smile. We didn't meet in the best circumstances but he wasn't a bad person. I didn't even know his name." Well, it is indeed true that the world is a small place. Didn't expect to meet you so soon." He had his hair neatly styled back not like it was on the beach where it fell carelessly." I don't think I introduced myself. I'm Hardin Scott." He said as he brought his hand forward for a handshake, I was about to take his hand when someone drew me back. Oh, I completely forgot that he was here." Are you both blind or just stupid?" He asked as his eyes were throwing slits at Hardin. I don't know what his deal was."You pretend like you don't see her with me and then you want to take her hand in front of me." " My apologies." He stretched his hand forward for a handshake but Markus looked at his hand as if he was looking at filth." Oh," Hardin said as he turned to me took my
THE THREATShe just stood there blushing like a schoolgirl who saw her crush. The audacity of that man. Don't get it in your head that I was jealous, no I wasn't, I was just worried for my child.How could I let a woman who was pregnant with my child go around with other men?And I didn't mean to call her a whore, no whore would bare me my child. " Sir? Excuse me, sir." I was brought out of my thoughts by one of my staff, I had totally forgotten that I was in a meeting. " Go on," I said as I told him to go on with the presentation. When the meeting ended I headed straight to my office. Should I call her? I had to make sure my child was okay.I decided against it, I would just have to talk to her just to when I got home.I took a deep breath as I rubbed my forehead to relieve the pain I was feeling there.The phone on my table rang and I grudgingly picked it up." Sir there's someone here to see you and he insists on seeing you or he wouldn't leave." Now was not the time for anyone
BUYING A PROPERTY" Hi, I found your contact online and would like to meet, I would like to see the property so we can discuss more about it," I said as I took a sip of my juice sitting down on the floor by my bed, this was becoming a habit, maybe it was all part of the pregnancy. Last night I had to fight the urge to lay on the floor, I couldn't get sick." Okay ma'am, please be at the location by nine o'clock, if it's okay with you, I'll meet you there." " Okay fine, I can make it." I ended the call after we concluded.I was suddenly filled with the urge to throw up and before I could fight it, I was running to the bathroom. I emptied my already empty stomach into the toilet. Nothing was working with the vomiting and this morning sickness was getting unbearable. How the hell do some women manage this all, and still have up to six children? They were damn strong.I got up from where I was bent as I took a toothbrush, there was a taste in my mouth I didn't like. When I was done brush
THE SECRET CARSigning this document wasn't anything like signing the document of agreement between Markus and me. Whereas I signed that document with so much doubt knowing there would be regrets, this document right in front of me brought me peace. It was like I had done something right for the first time." The coffee here is quite nice," Hardin said as he brought me out of my thoughts.The coffee wasn't any of my interest right now, the only thing on my mind was the document in front of me." So what do you plan to do with that place if I might ask?" Since someone was genuinely interested in knowing what I was doing, why wouldn't I want to tell him?" So I plan on opening a bakery," I said as I waited for the information to sink into his head." Really? Like where you have all do sweet treats bread and please donuts." Was he serious or he was just messing around? Did I look like I was joking?" You know how to bake?"" Are you stupid? Why do you think I'll open a bakery if I can't
THE TRUTH I was worried for my child, that was it. But she was not going to turn me into her puppet just because she was carrying my child, I wouldn't let her.I was letting myself get worked up for no reason, she wasn't my wife, and I couldn't just wait for all this to be over. So she could get the hell out of my life.I was brought out of my raging thoughts by the ring of my phone. It was a call from my private detective. I picked up the call and didn't say anything, he knew what he was supposed to do, and I didn't have to speak." Everything you need to know has been sent to your email, pictures, video, and some audio recording." He said and I knew instantly that whatever he might have sent I wouldn't like it. " Good." I simply said before ending the call.I opened my mail and saw the message from him. As I clicked open, various images popped up and I recognized the lady in the picture instantly. She has caused a lot of trouble for me, recognizing her wouldn't be hard but she was
