I want a child not a wife Chapter 59
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

THE FULFILLMENTIt's been five days since Markus told me he cared about me, and each day he didn't stop calling me to check up on me and I didn't know how to feel. He was still in Dubai but would be returning to the States in two days and for some reason, I felt happy to see him.Today I would be seeing the finished work of what Lola did to my bakery and I was so excited. I told her to surprise me because I saw what she had done to her brother's place and I knew without a doubt in my heart that she wouldn't disappoint me.We have been communicating about things like the colors I wanted, I'd already told her that I wanted it to be like a bakery and breakfast spot with a homely feeling so I expect everything to be perfect." Ma'am, what would you like for lunch?" One of the maids asked as I took a seat on the dining chair, I'd noticed that for the past two days, my eating had become something else, I now had the appetite of a whale and at the same time I had become quite selective with

THE FIRE ACCIDENT The smoke was becoming too much that I couldn't see any longer and I fell into a fit of coughing. I tried finding my way back to my bed but I was unable and it was even worse with my pregnancy, I was becoming short of breath because of the smoke.Would I get out of here if I couldn't call for help? Why do I always have to be involved in situations where I feel so helpless? What if, just what if I didn't get lucky today and there was no guardian angel to come save me?Just earlier today I was so happy that at least I had fulfilled something in my life, I was starting something on my own. Markus had changed towards me and I felt like I at least had hope but right now I didn't know how I felt, would I die here? I couldn't do this to my child." Please help, somebody, help me!! Please!!

A FAMILY " Dad! Dad! save me Mom is going to kill me," Alexandra shouted as she ran up the stairs to her father like she always does." I've warned you several times not to touch the cookies until it was time to serve them" Each time I baked cookies she always found a way to sneak into the kitchen and disappear with one, she was just like her father. They were a team at taking cookies from the kitchen." Have you seen Alexandra?" I asked Markus who was seated on the bed pretending like he didn't hear me, without even getting his answer I could already see Alexandra hiding behind her father's back." No, I haven't seen her, Why?" Like always, he'll cover for her." So there's no one behind you?" I asked as I started walking slowly to where she was hiding behind her father." So who's this?" I started tickling her through the sheet that she had covering her. She broke into a fit of giggling." Mom stop," " Will you pick cookies again?" " No Mom, Dad save me already," " Okay, okay,"

DEATH " Please I'll do anything, just let me know where my daughter is," I said to her hoping she wouldn't end the call. I didn't recognize the voice of the lady speaking." Listen to me carefully," She said and I nodded then realizing she couldn't see me I spoke." Yes, I'm listening." " Don't you try any funny business, if you do, your daughter dies." I heard crying in the background as if they were trying to emphasize their point." I'll do whatever you say, as long as you give me my daughter," " Okay, I'm going to send you an address, make sure you come alone, no police, just you," " No funny business, I swear," I said, trying to plead with her." I'm glad we have an understanding, because I'm sure my tigers wouldn't mind munching on her little flesh," My heart skipped, I couldn't dare imagine the image of tigers feasting on my baby.The phone suddenly got disconnected at the same time Rena opened the door.I almost forgot I was warned not to tell anyone the information I had

THE STRANGE CALLERJane has refused to talk to anyone even after she woke up. We were now home. I had to call the doctor to come check up on her and he confirmed that she was okay. What was happening to her was all because of the shock.She has refused to eat, no matter how many times or what type of food was brought to her.The last thing she said was I want my baby. After that, she refused to speak.Now I was trying to get her into the house. She wouldn't listen, she had been sitting and waiting in front of the house." Jane, let's go inside, please this isn't going to help with finding Alexandra, I can't focus on you like this please," She finally listened as she grudgingly stood up and walked past me not uttering a single word.I sighed as I turned to go inside but stopped when I noticed someone walking towards the house." You've got to be kidding me," I muttered as my eyes shot daggers at him." What do you think you're doing here?" " I'm not here to see you, I'm here for my fr

KIDNAPPED The world around me became dark, everything around me was covered in darkness like I was being cast a spell. Alexandra wasn't in her room, she wasn't with Markus then where was she?" Ma'am, ma'am," I felt someone shaking me but my mind was too clouded. The person didn't stop which made me eventually come back to my senses." Alexandra, Alexandra," That was the first thing I said as soon as I realized myself and remembered my situation." Go! Go! Tell the security to search the whole house, search everywhere, my daughter is in this house," I said as the maid quickly kicked into action.If I found out Markus was playing some silly games with me I swear I was going to chop off his balls.I went to Alexandra's room to search for her, for all I knew she might be in her room.I opened the door and rushed to her bed but she wasn't there. Alexandra was still a baby, she couldn't sit or crawl, I would have concluded that she crawled from my room to hers but she couldn't. Even if sh

MISSING CHILDI have never pushed someone with so much force the way I just pushed Markus, I didn't know where the power came from." How dare you? What gave you the right to think you could touch me?!" I yelled in anger." What? Do you think you could just throw me and pick me however you want? I'm not your toy, the next time you think of ever touching me, know that you might lose an organ and I will not be held responsible." I was beyond angry and I needed to calm myself before I did something stupid.Markus was looking at me with shock in his eyes as if he couldn't believe what just happened, did he expect me to run into his arms like a woman in heat? He's got to be kidding me.Without sparing him another glance I ran upstairs. Did he think that just because he had the power to tell me not to see my daughter he could blackmail me and make me do whatever he wanted?I'm a changed woman, he changed me.I opened Alexandra's room and she was sleeping so I quietly walked to her. She had

ANGER KISS I stood in front of his house as I scanned my eyes around, well it was a beautiful building, I had no grudge against his house, I was just here for him.I rang the doorbell and not up to a minute the door came open. I was sure he wasn't expecting me, maybe Jane.The look on his face told me he would rather speak to pigs than spend a minute of his time talking to me." What are you doing here?" He asked with a hard voice, I didn't care if he was sad or happy to meet me." Well is that how you welcome the father of your friend's child?" His jaw ticked but he didn't say a word. I knew what I was doing. I wanted to let him know that whatever happy ending story he had about Jane in his head needed to be wiped. I had the upper hand here. I have the child Jane is in love with and it's just because I don't want her to hate me more than she already does I would have told her that my condition is for her to stop seeing this man." I didn't invite you here, so you might as well go b

NOT FRIENDS I looked at Markus like he had gone mad, he was looking for another way to hurt me. A few days ago Markus didn't want me near my child, so why did he want me back in the mansion? With what had happened between us I had to be very careful, he couldn't be trusted anymore because once bitten twice shy." How is this of benefit to you?" I asked because he definitely had a reason why he was doing this that he was not telling me." This is for my child, you were right, I shouldn't separate you from her just because I didn't want you, she should have her mom," Was I dreaming? Markus agreeing with me on something was something I never pictured even in a thousand years. This was all too good to be true." So what you're trying to say is I can see Alexandra whenever I want, like even right now?" I asked, if what he was saying was true I might as well go see my daughter now." Yes," I didn't need more convincing, I stood up, picked up my handbag, and left. As long as nobody was sto

ANOTHER DEAL Without thinking I rushed to him and threw a punch at him." Markus!" I heard Jane shout but I was ready with my second punch to land on his stupid face but fortunately for him someone stopped me." Fucking bastard, you've refused to stay out of my business," I said with anger boiling inside of me. Jane rushed to him as she took her kerchief from her bag to clean the blood that was on the side of his lips. The sight didn't sit well with me." Markus, what is wrong with you? Why do you want to hurt me so much? First my child, now you're hurting my friends too, what did I ever do to you?" Jane asked with tears forming in her eyes." Jane it's okay, there's no need to cry I'm okay there's nothing to worry about," I watched in agony as the Hardin guy brought his hand to clean Jane's tears. I fisted my hands trying to control myself or else I was going to start punching him till his face was covered in blood.I promised Jane that I would always wipe her tears, I didn't like h

THE COURTROOM I was standing in front of the courtroom dreading going inside, stepping into this room meant I had officially given them the power to decide over my daughter, I didn't know what decision they were going to make. But I was scared.With all the willpower I had I opened the door and stepped in. Hardin wanted to come with me but I told him not to, he didn't like the idea but for my sake, he just had to agree.As I entered the courtroom surprisingly Markus was already in the room with my baby girl held in his arms. Our eyes locked for a moment before I broke the contact. I didn't want to look at him, it was just a painful reminder of what had happened between us, what he made happen.I took my seat as we awaited the case to start.Soon enough I was asked to move to the front where I would stand to answer some questions, if necessary. The judge entered the courtroom and everyone rose. My heartbeat increased and my palm started sweating, this was really happening." This cou
