THE BIRTHDAY PRINCESSMarkus was busy asking another lady to be his girlfriend when I was still in the hospital, was that why he rushed off in the name of having something urgent to do?I dropped the lady at the mall and then drove off to the hospital. I just wasn't feeling good today, I don't know if it was my encounter with that lady.I was taken to the examination room and then the doctor checked me and the baby and said that we were both okay. I thanked him and then made my way out of the hospital. I don't know how I ended up here but I just felt something telling me to be here today.Since the day my mom got buried I had not come to visit her grave I felt like we could have been better if death hadn't taken her, we were a work in progress, not the best but we were trying, on the days she tried to blame me for why my father left she was a complete stranger.I sighed as I placed the single rose I bought on my way here, roses were her favorite, she would smile when my dad bought th
KEEP YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER" Jane." He took a step towards me but I moved back." Don't come near me!! Stay where you are." I screamed as he tried to come near me. Did he think he could just go out of my life and come back however he liked?" Please just give me a chance." " What chance are you talking about, give you what? You know what? I don't wanna talk to you or see you around me ever or else I'll call the police."" Jane."" Stop saying my name, I hate how it sounds coming from you, stop!"" Jane, what's wrong? The kids are waiting for you inside." Rena suddenly came behind me." I'll join you shortly," I said as I looked at my father with contempt, he wasn't there when I needed him and now he wants what? To reconnect and come back into my life? Never." Is this man bothering you, do I need to call security?" Rena asked as she looked between him and me." No, we're going back in now," without sparing him a glance I turned away from him going back into the orphanage." Who was tha
THE UNKNOWN FEELING" You're playing a dangerous game, young man." He said as soon as I picked up the call." If I might ask, what exactly are you talking about?" I said feigning innocence." Oh you don't know, do you want me to kill you?" " Mr Murphy, I'm sorry but I don't know what you're talking about." I could tell he was boiling in anger." What the fuck are you doing with my daughter?" He asked in anger." Oh, that? We're just in love, you wouldn't want your daughter to be angry right?"" You're playing with fire." That made me roll my eyes, he thought that would scare me, he was the one who played with fire and now it was time for him to burn." Why don't you go ahead and tell her to stop seeing me and hear what she has to say." His daughter was so easy to sway, she fell for my sweet talk like I was some prince charming." Just stay away from her."" Okay if you say so, but I wouldn't lie to her why I'm breaking up with her and you know she's gonna cry right? I'll just tell he
PREGNANCY EXERCISES " Hold your partner on the waist and help her move back a little, please be very careful don't overdo it," the instructor said and Hardin followed her instructions and helped me bend going gently, I could feel my back loosen from stress, I think I would go for a pregnancy massage soon. It felt good. " Now carefully stretch from side to side, remember, whatever you're doing you have to do it carefully because you're carrying a child and you don't need to stress your body, now let's do it together." This time I didn't need Markus to help me but he stood by my side watching me and I stretched from side to side, it was a simple exercise but with the pregnancy, it wasn't." You all are doing wonderful, let's take a short break." The break was necessary because I suddenly felt like I had been hiking for two days, it was exhausting." You look very tired," " Of course, that was hard." The look he was giving me told me he was finding my attitude funny, he looked like he
THE FIGHTA scream broke through my mouth unintentionally in shock. I wasn't expecting to see him here." Jane!" I heard Hardin call from outside." What are you doing here Markus?" Before he could answer me the car door was quickly pushed open by Hardin and Markus also opened the car door and came out.When Hardin saw him, he left the door open and turned to Markus." Isn't this just disgusting?" I heard Markus ask and I quickly got out of the car. What was he doing here? I have told him several times that he didn't have the right to monitor where I go or where I don't." Enlighten me," Hardin said and I could already see a fight brewing." You bring a pregnant woman to your house and you let her stay up to this time?!" Markus asked in anger." If she's somewhere she's taken care of, I don't see anything wrong with that," Hardin said in a hard voice different from how he usually speaks to me." Are you being serious? She's pregnant for god's sake." Markus said and was beginning to mak
THE FAKE FRIEND How long did Markus intend to keep me locked in here? I have been trying to keep my anger in check but so far it has been useless if the disarray of the whole room had anything to say." Let me out of here!!" I screamed for the hundredth time but Markus still refused to let me out. I moved to the window but the height wasn't something I could jump and was I even crazy? I was pregnant for God's sake.My eyes suddenly caught something.My bag! Amidst all the struggling, it didn't fall outside. If my bag was here, it meant my phone was also here.I rushed to it as fast as my pregnancy could let me and I ransacked through the purse and luckily my phone was inside. Breathing in relief I took it and sat on the floor contemplating who to call. But first I had to call Hardin and make sure that he was okay." Jane! Are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lose my mind, he was just so annoying, I'm sorry I kept you here late." He said as soon as he picked." Hardin it's okay
THE FAMOUS HOCKEY PLAYERI couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing. The headline read: Famous Hockey player spotted with a pregnant lady at the Oxford fitness studio: Could the hockey player secretly have a wife? I quickly glanced through the article. The writer was talking about how intimate we looked and the photographer tried his or her best to capture us in what seemed like our most intimate moment, like when Hardin was holding me on the waist just like the instructor asked, to anyone, they would believe we were lovers of some sort." Well you both look good together, " Sofia, Markus' girlfriend said with a smile on her face before taking her phone from me, she looked happy like she had just gotten the greatest news ever.She started walking to the exit but I remained rooted on my spot." Are you coming or what?" I came out of my thoughts as I began walking towards the exit. The ride back home was quiet, not like I intended to say anything to her.As soon as she parked in front
THE SECRET BOYFRIEND " What do you mean?" I asked him because I didn't understand what he was trying to say." What I mean to say is I wish there was actually a secret pregnant wife somewhere," Oh, for a moment I was confused there." What's stopping you from getting a wife?" I asked him and at that moment my stomach chose to growl in hunger, it was a good thing he wasn't here or I would have died in embarrassment, but I think I concluded too fast." Does your stomach want more of my homemade apple pie?" " You heard that?! Was it so loud?" I asked as his laughter filled my ear." I guess it was," he said." Okay you're trying to change the topic, what's stopping you from achieving that thing you wish for, having a pregnant wife and all?" The phone went silent for a while and I had to check my phone to make sure that he was still on and fortunately, he was." I am still waiting for the right time to talk to her, she might find it crazy but when I'm bold enough to talk to her then I w
