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
THE ACCIDENT" I'm so sorry," Hardin said as he rushed to me, he took my hand, and after thanking the woman by the entrance we entered the building." It must have slipped my mind that they would request an invite to get in, I'm so sorry, you must have felt embarrassed just standing there." He said with regrets in his eyes but the angry pregnant woman in me wanted nothing more than to give him an earful but I controlled myself." I thought you said it was for all pregnant women, why did it look like it was strictly by invitation, and why are you here?" " Uhm," he said as he scratched his head like he was hiding something." I'm sorry once again but I had to help her with organizing some things." Okay, that explains why he is here." One more thing, why does it look like all the women entering here are here with their partners?" If that was the case I might as well just go home, I can't bear people looking at me with pity, that would be horrible." Absolutely not, you must not be here
HIS DANGEROUS SMILE" I'm so sorry," She said and she quickly blocked my vision from the driver, I couldn't deny the fact that who I saw looked like my father, it wasn't my eyes messing with me, I knew what I saw.I blinked my eyes before I turned to the woman, if anything she didn't look sorry.I looked to where their car hit mine and there wasn't much damage and we were blocking the road, luckily there weren't many cars." It's okay, it isn't something I can't fix, just be careful next time." " Oh darling, it's absolutely not okay, I want to fix it." No, she didn't, she looked like she wanted to be out of here as soon as possible, she was just doing all this out of courtesy." No ma'am it's fine, and besides if we don't leave here we will be causing traffic which might attract the police."" Oh okay, I'm sorry once again." I expected that she would go into her car but instead, she looked like she was waiting for me to go first, I looked at the driver's side but now the glass was ro
THE LATE NIGHT FEVERI just stood speechless as I watched the maids set the table while Markus walked towards me with his arms wide open like he wanted me to run into his embrace. Did he hit his head or something?He came to the bed and sat down and I just watched him like I was in a trance. " Come here darling," he said as he lifted me from the bed and walked to where the table was set. I couldn't say a word, I just looked at him in confusion, did Markus have a twin I wasn't aware of?" Markus…" Just when I was about to question what this was all about he shut me." Shuuuu.." he said as he placed a finger on my lips…" What is wrong if a man decides to take care of his pregnant woman." I wanted to scream to his face everything if that said man is you but instead I just watched him like a fool.Since he didn't want me to talk I just kept quiet and watched him. He sat me on the chair and set a plate in front of me then Markus of all people started serving me. Okay, this was scaring the
THE ANGELSThe world around me was spinning and I felt like I was flying on clouds. I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't. I tried again and was only able to do that only by an inch and I saw people in white hovering over me. Who were they? Angels? Before everything suddenly became black again and I felt like I had been dragged to hell.I opened my eyes but quickly closed them because of the lights that blinded me and kept them closed until I was sure I wouldn't get that piercing pain when I opened my eyes.I finally opened my eyes and was greeted by Rena's guilt-stricken face, what was wrong with her?" Are…" I tried to speak but my throat felt dry like I had been smoking all my life. Rena quickly rushed to get me water. That was when I took the time to look at where I was, it was in a hospital room. Somehow someone came to my aid, I sure do have a lot of life.She brought the cup to my mouth and I took it slowly." How do you feel?" Rena asked me as she took a seat beside me. I did
THE HANGOVERI woke up feeling like my head was going to tear and my brain would fall out, my throat felt dry because of the amount of alcohol I had consumed. I picked myself up from where I lay on the floor, picked up my phone from where I had thrown it and went out of the room, it wasn't mine, it was the room I had told myself never to enter again but from time to time I keep finding myself in there, it was the room I and Fiona shared, until she ruined everything.I went into my room and went straight to the shower, after a much-needed shower I came out and headed into my closet to get something to wear, my head was still banging so I picked up my phone to call one of the maids to get me pain reliever and water but saw that I had several missed calls from Jane, what did she want?I decided to call the maid first, my head wasn't feeling right and I needed to calm myself down before I could have any meaningful conversation with anyone.The maid brought the water and medicine as she d
THE AWKWARD DINNERWhen I opened my eyes I knew I felt better than I did when I fell asleep, but my body still felt weak. " Rena," I whispered, I didn't have much energy to speak. She didn't give me any answer and I guessed she must have gone out to get something but to my surprise, I noticed another person in the room and when I turned it was Markus.Was I dreaming?" Markus?" I called his name to make sure I was actually seeing right and indeed he was there as he walked from where he sat on the couch in the hospital room towards me." You look like you weren't expecting me?" He asked as he took a seat on the chair beside my bed. It was true that I wasn't expecting him, after calling him several times and not getting his response, and then when I woke up and expected to see him but didn't, I had lost hope of seeing him here." I'm sure you were worried about your child so you had to come see for yourself that everything was okay?" Because that is what he was always worried about."
