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!! " Tears were streaming down my eyes and blurring my vision even more. I held my breath, as I stretched my hand forward trying to navigate my way towards the bed where I placed my phone b
PLEASE WAKE UPMy heart stopped and for a moment I couldn't hear a single sound as the world grew silent. If I heard him correctly, he said Jane got involved in a fire accident, what happened to her? Is she okay? Is the baby fine? I quickly came out of my shock and went into action. I started my car and drove out of the parking lot. I needed to be in the States as soon as possible. I quickly dialed my secretary's number." Samantha get the jet ready, we're leaving immediately," I said as soon as she picked up, I didn't give her time to respond as I ended the call to focus on my driving.My bags were already packed so I just asked to have them brought from my room and then I was heading for the airport. With how fast I was driving it was a surprise the Dubai authorities weren't already hot on my tail.When I got to the airport my secretary was already waiting for me, and without wasting any more time we entered into my private jet getting ready to take off.In all the times I have fl
