HIDING FROM HIM I breathed in relief as I walked towards her bed and discarded myself there. I was mentally and emotionally drained. Sometimes things happen in life that make you question your choices.Here I was hiding from the father of my child, a man who only cares about the child I was carrying in my womb but with what he just did, I was beginning to question if he would be the father I've been hoping he would be.He was like a whole new person back there. My stomach growled in hunger, the way I was getting hungry was too much, it was like my mouth always wanted something to chew, I would become a big ball even before five months.I woke up when the smell of something yummy hit my nose, wait, when did I even fall asleep? I peeled my eyes open and was greeted by a smiling Rena and of course, the reason why I woke up.She was holding a plate containing pizza, and my mouth couldn't help but water. I couldn't believe that she was actually doing all this for me. It was just so tou
HIS DARK SIDE I quickly dropped the spoon I held back into the container. I thought he wasn't going to notice so soon, I didn't even think he would care, what did he want this time? To finish off what he started." What are we going to do? He looked like he was going to start shooting all the staff one by one if they didn't tell him where you were." She said as she placed her hand on her forehead in frustration.I didn't know what to tell her, I got us into this trouble without thinking of a way to get us out." I have a feeling he would be interrogating me more than everyone, especially the fact that I'm the closest to you. But I wouldn't give him the answer he wants." This loyalty again." I should just go to him before people get into trouble," I said as I began to get up from the bed, but she rushed to me." What do you think you're doing? We didn't put all that effort just to be scared and run back to him without putting up a fight. See what he did to you just yesterday and I wo
THE PERFECT TRAPAfter sending a message to the hiring department to put up those incompetent idiot jobs for advertisement, I left my office. I couldn't be paying them so much for them to give me anything short of the best. My car was already waiting for me in front of my company. I had sent a message to have it waiting for me in front of the company before I came out.I got into my car and drove home. It was either that more of my staff would get fired because if they didn't have good news when I returned home, hell was going to break loose. It was a promise I made to them before leaving and I intended to keep it.As soon as I parked my car in front of my mansion I got out and headed inside, my security team was already waiting for me but who I expected to see them with wasn't." I assume you don't have anything good to tell me?" I said as I glared at all of them with fire in my eyes." Do I pay you all to be incompetent and useless? Someone goes missing in this house, there's no
THE THREAT I smirked in satisfaction as the maid turned to look at Jane in shock. Why was she acting so surprised? I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the exchange." Well, I missed you too my dear," I said as I beckoned her with my hand to come into the room and close the door." Rena, you can leave." She said to the maid who looked like she wasn't ready to follow the instructions until she grudgingly stood up and was about to walk out but I interrupted their little friendship party."No. No. No. She's going nowhere," I said as I had a full smile on my face gesturing to the maid to sit back down." Markus, leave Rena out of this, I've been avoiding you for a reason and we should talk about that." I thought for a moment before sending the maid a dead stare telling her to get out of my face.She hurriedly stood up looking between the two of us then she disappeared out the door leaving just the two of us. " I miss you," I said once again smiling at her and I watched her swallow suddenl
THE UNPLANNED GUESTThis bastard just touched the lion's tail. If anything should happen to my child or Jane, I would personally set him on fire. It was a promise.The ambulance drove to the hospital as the doctors got busy with her, it was a good thing there was nothing serious. She was just injected with a drug that made her go unconscious but I hope it didn't affect the child in any way." Please be careful, she is pregnant," I said to the doctors as she was lifted from the ambulance onto a stretcher and wheeled to a room. More doctors joined as they examined her making sure she was okay as I waited patiently for them. Soon enough they were done with whatever they were doing and only had a drip hooked to her wrist, according to them it was to reduce whatever drug they injected in her so she could wake up sooner." How is she and the baby?" I asked the doctor as soon as he walked out." She's in good condition? We just need to wait for her to wake up." He said as he gave me a nod b
THE PAINFUL FEELING Dad? I turned to look between Markus and the man he just called dad and could see the resemblance between the two of them only that the other man looked older." Dad, why didn't you tell me you were coming over?" Markus asked the man as he walked over to him to hug him, and I could tell that they both had a strong relationship." Do I have to inform my son I am coming to his house? You know I like surprising you." The man said as they both laughed like a very funny joke was said forgetting that I was even there. Not until his dad looked at me with a raised brow." You have a woman?" At the question, Markus's eyes also turned to me.His laughter died as he looked at me as if I wasn't someone important. " No Dad." What was I expected? That he would introduce me as his wife or what? But the hurt each time would always come, I couldn't stop it." So who's she?" His father asked seeming quite curious about me." Let's get you settled, I'll tell you about everything, f
THE STRANGE MESSAGEMy father had been on me about Jane from the moment he saw her, I had told him that I would never get involved with any woman and I intended to keep that promise. Jane wasn't the type of woman he was going on about, she was just here to give me my child like the contract demanded nothing less nothing more." So you say, she's nothing to you?" He asked again for the hundredth time." My answer remains no and even if you ask me a million times I'll still give you the same answer," I told him as I picked a berry and popped it into my mouth." So where did you get the whole idea? I know you have issues with women but your experience with two women should not deny you of your happiness." He said and I saw no sense in his words, I know what the witch that calls herself my mother did to him and he still has it in him to defend women, I don't want to think about what my ex did to me. Those two experiences were enough to traumatize me." I'll be happy with my child, there's
AT GUN POINTI knew I didn't have any ear issues and the voice I heard actually belonged to my father. He called my name.I quickly picked up the phone from the floor hoping the caller was still on." Hello?" My heart was beating hoping that I had heard correctly, but instead, I heard the voice of a woman." Who are you?" Came her voice.My heart fell, I knew what I heard and I was sure it belonged to him." You called me," I said to the woman because I was surprised she was asking who I was when they called me." Oh must have been a wrong number, I'm very sorry." Before I could ask more questions the line went dead. Leaving me more confused than ever. A wrong number? I wasn't hallucinating when I heard my father's voice, or does pregnancy make you hear things?I slowly sat on my bed like I didn't have any more bones in my body, my legs were suddenly so weak.That was my dad, nobody could convince me otherwise. But why did that woman suddenly start speaking? Was she the reason he left
