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

    THE ERUPTED VOLCANOI took a step towards her and she took two back. That was just perfect." You thought you could fool me? Hmm? You wanted to play me. How dare you?!" One thing I hated the most was someone lying to me, and right now, I didn't care what I was going to do to her. " I don't know what you're talking about." She still dares to lie to my face. I lost it.I wrapped my hand around her neck, I didn't fucking care she was pregnant, how am I even sure she was pregnant? She could be lying." The only thing stopping me from killing you is because of that child you're carrying, or else…" I didn't get to finish my statement because she cut me short." Or else what?!" Oh I see, she had suddenly become bold. " Don't I have the right to choose who the father of my child becomes?"" Excuse me?"" Yes, you are the father of my child and there's nothing you're going to do about it." " I will not bear the responsibility for a child that isn't mine, not when the father of the child want

    THE FIGHTI was expecting that he was going to hit me but he didn't. He just looked at me with an expression that I didn't understand and then he drew back from where he was hovering over me. And lay on the bed beside me. I didn't move, I was too afraid to.Even my breathing was still because I feared that I was going to anger him.But soon enough I heard light snoring like he was sleeping. And when I moved my head to the side he was indeed sleeping.Slowly and quietly I moved away from him out of the bed and then I opened the door and left the room. My lips were bleeding. I needed to stop it.I rushed down the stairs to the kitchen and turned on the tap as I took a towel and placed it under the hot water. Then I turned it off and let the water drip down. Then I squeezed it gently so I didn't burn my hand. Then I cleaned the blood using a hot towel to stop the bleeding.I heard footsteps rush to the kitchen and I didn't bother turning, I couldn't look at anyone with the way I looked.

    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
