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
THE JEALOUS HUSBAND" Get the hell out of my office!" I shouted as my project manager left my office like he had been set on fire. My mood has been a total mess since I stumbled on those pictures on the internet and even worse when I watched the interview. A dear friend indeed, he didn't know how disgusted I was with him and if he knew what was good for him, he'd take my warning seriously and stay away from Jane. He could fool the interviewer and the whole world, but he couldn't fool me, he was beginning to have feelings for a woman who was pregnant with another man's child, didn't he have any self-respect?A knock came on my door and my secretary slowly opened the door, she knew when I was angry and I think she was getting used to it." Sir, I got an impromptu notification from The International Union of Architects, that there is going to be an emergency conference starting tomorrow and all members are expected to be in Dubai by tomorrow," Perfect timing, I needed to be away from e
I CARE ABOUT YOU Did I hear correctly or I was indeed beginning to have problems with my hearing?" Markus, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by your are jealous?" I asked him but he didn't give me any reply, he just looked at me like he was trying to figure me out." Mark…" he didn't let me go finish as he cut me off." What do you want me to say? That I'm happy with the mother of my child being seen with another man like he's the father of my unborn child, while I'm here, what do you expect? you want me to be happy?" " I've told you he's just a friend,"" And I don't care, I don't want you around other men because you're mine!" I looked at Markus with my eyes squinted, there was something wrong with him, Markus must have hit his head. The Markus I was well acquainted with would rather cut his own tongue than say words like these.I moved towards him and placed my hand on his forehead as if checking his temperature, and he just watched me." Did you hit your head? Do I nee
LET'S BE FRIENDSThis Arabian man had not stopped blabbing since I got here, didn't he know I had to rest after my flight? " Mr Ali, can we talk later? I'd like to rest, I've had a really long flight," " Oh I'm sorry Mr Arthur, you should indeed rest," He said as he excused me while I made my way back to my hotel room.I couldn't stop thinking about all I said to Jane, she had been on my mind since I got here, it just suddenly came to me and before I could think, I just said everything and I was just hoping things go well.I was tempted to call her but I stopped myself, I didn't expect her to just come running to me just because I confessed caring about her, the feelings I had a ninety-nine percent certainty that she didn't truly believe, but I would do my best to earn her trust.Another thumb in the flesh I couldn't just wait to do away with was Sofia, the reason I even asked her out was to keep her closer to me because of her father, that dirty move he did with Jane pissed me off
MEETING FIONAI just accepted to be friends with Markus, I really didn't know what I was getting myself into. How did I know Markus wasn't going to use this against me? It was just so confusing. As the call ended I decided to go to the movie room, I hadn't gone there for a long time, and being in that room helped me forget.I took popcorn and went out of my room to the movie room and decided to have a rerun of the Shannara Chronicles. I've seen this movie several times but I never get tired of watching it. I was still having a good time when the door to the room suddenly burst open and Markus' girlfriend entered. Her boyfriend wasn't here, what was she still doing here?" Well I thought a bitchy pregnant woman like you might need company," She said as she took a seat beside me and I just ignored her as I still had my eyes fixed on the television. " Are you going to be like this?" " What exactly do you want?" I asked as I turned to her." I did you the honor of coming to sit here wi
