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
AT GUN POINT 2I thought she wasn't here any longer and what was she even doing in my room?" What do you want here?" I asked her again and she turned to look at me with a sadistic smile. It didn't sit well with me." He would have been mine, but you have to butt your stupid little head into our life, I would be the one to go to bed with him and wake with him, but no!...she screamed this part, standing from where she was seated on the bed. I looked at Markus wondering why he wasn't moving amidst all this noise, was he that much of a deep sleeper?" He won't come to your rescue, infact he'll be sleeping so soundly while I cut you to pieces." She said with so much confidence that for a moment I was scared, what did she do to Markus? Did she drug him?" You're just all bluff, remember the last time I gave you a taste of your own medicine?" I said referring to when she hurt Rena and we broke out into a fight." You think? You didn't expect me to come unprepared, did you? Since you're so s
HIDING THE TRUTH The first thing I noticed when I woke up was that I felt like I had been hit by a truck, so tired and I didn't remember getting drunk last night, I had a few drinks with my dad but not enough to get me drunk.Then why did I feel this way? Like I was drugged." How do you feel?" Jane's voice suddenly filled my ear and I turned to see her coming from the bathroom fully dressed." Why would you ask that?" I asked her because I wasn't sure why she was asking me that, did I look like something was wrong with me? " You were down yesterday with a fever, so I guess you're better now." She said and I drew my brows up in confusion, fever, but when?" Here take this, the doctor said you should be fine after taking this because you would feel tired when you wake up but this would help boost your energy." I looked at the medicine she handed me like it was poison, I woke up feeling weird so it was normal for me to be cautious. " It's not poison, I can take one if you want but it
THE WEIRD DREAM " What do you want me to think? Because every single moment you get, you try to remind me that I'm not your wife, I'm beginning to think that you're trying to convince yourself. You know clearly that I'm not your wife, must you make it an anthem?" Somehow I got the boldness to say this, I was tired of hearing that one sentence every time." What did you say?" He asked me and I quickly shut my mouth, he could switch any moment and I didn't want that." You should know your place, and that I'm in charge here so before you make whatever decision that concerns me, let me know, are we clear here?" " Crystal." " Good," He simply said before he walked out of the room and I breathed in relief.I fell on my bed with a sigh Markus was getting too hard to deal with. The ringing of my phone brought me out of my thoughts." Hey Hardin," I smiled as his voice came through the phone, we were becoming close and I liked the fact that there was someone in this world who thought of m
