Married To My Ex's Father 0025
GLENDA'S POVI stretched and yawned with contentment when I woke up. I was well rested and relaxed. I had slept better than I had ever done in a very long time. I went to bed happy last night. Very happy. I smiled to myself as I recalled the events of the previous night. Last night, Brian had held me. He apologized and he comforted me. We spent a good amount of time talking. Talking and trying to sort things out. He told me he was going to tell Maurice about us and the baby. I snuggled myself smiling sheepishly at the thought.He was going to take responsibility. He was going to stand by me and our baby. He regretted letting his anger get the better side of him. I expressed my hurt over his cheating and he apologized. He said it was a mistake, a slip that would never repeat itself. He was so sincere and I believed him. Shocking how one moment we were yelling and screaming and the next we just wanted to be so lost in each other. I looked to the empty side of my bed. Brian would hav

GLENDA'S POVElsa's explosion caused me to spill tea on my dress."Jeez! Elsa!" I exclaimed, wiping the hot liquid off my dress. My skin burned underneath the dress. I raised my eyes in shock to observe Elsa. "What was that about?"She seemed to slowly collect herself. "Uhm.. I.. I mean… But Brian deceived you." Her tone was heavy with agitation or maybe I imagined it."And I said we talked things out and we are good. He said it was a mistake.""He told you that?" She asked incredulously."Yes." I observed her for a moment. She seemed distant, brooding. "Why are you finding it so difficult to believe that Brian and I got back together?" I asked. Her demeanor was out of place and something else. I thought for a moment of the right words to describe how Elsa was acting - suspicious. That's the word! Elsa was acting suspiciously."No. It's just… Well, I didn't think he would ever go back to you after…""After what?" I interrupted her, my impatience got the better of me."Never mind Glend

GLENDA'S POVIt seemed for the first time, my feelings didn't stir me wrong. Something bad did happen. Something horrible actually. The shock and pain I felt was out of the world. I was too shaken to come to terms with it. "I can't believe he did this to me." Hot tears slipped down my cheeks burning their path down my face."I can't believe he deceived me again!" I buried my face into my pillow and cried. I sank my teeth into the pillow in an attempt to stifle my painful wails. "Fool! Fool! I'm such a fool!" I cried. I pulled on my hair and dragged at my face.Elsa quickly held my hands, restricting me so I wouldn't wound myself. "Stop this Glenda. You'll hurt yourself.""No Elsa, no, let me be. I deserve it. You tried to warn me… That bastard!" I yelled.My eyes had grown so large that they bulged out of their sockets. My nose was puffy, red and sore. My hair was disheveled. I was in total disarray. Nothing about me was collected. Both physically and mentally.That bastard Brian ha

GLENDA'S POVMy face was lined with dried streaks of tears when I woke up. They ran their lines crisscrossed over my face. My head ached like I had a bulldozer working inside it. It felt worse than a hangover.Elsa had been all shades of right when she told me I'd feel like shit after all that crying. I looked to the side of the bed, it was empty. I looked around the room and there was no sight of Elsa.Maybe she left early. I made a mental note to call her later. She had been most helpful staying with me in my moment of grief.I slowly and tiredly climbed out of bed. The whole of me ached, my body, my soul and my heart. Everything ached. I was reliving a past trauma because of my foolishness. I couldn't complain much. I had a major role to play in my hurt. I was too trusting. I guess some people just had to learn the hard way. I guess I was one of those people.I still shuddered from the remnant of tears within me. I walked past the mirror and a passing glimpse of me made me decide n

GLENDA'S POV"That was excellent! Wonderful! That's what I've been trying to tell you all the while. Fight for your husband!" Elsa shrilled in excitement.We were back to the confines of my room. I was lying on bed and Elsa occupied the chair by the vanity table."I'm not fighting for anything. I had just had enough of her. I was in no mood to listen to her insults." I tiredly explained to Elsa why I had challenged Lucy."It's the same thing. At least now she knows not to get too comfortable ordering everyone around when she's only a glorified mail woman." Elsa insisted."Whatever you say." I responded with indifference. Lucy and her antics were the last thing bothering me at the moment. I had to think of the perfect way to present this matter to Maurice. That's the only other logical option I had right now."I guess Maurice will be returning soon?" Elsa asked."I guess so." I responded with disinterest."What's bothering you?""Are you really asking me that?" I chuckled at the irony.

GLENDA'S POVI was expecting a lot of things. Many and anything could happen but never this. Never did I expect something like this to happen.I stirred awake, the sharp needling pain tugging at my abdomen was too disturbing. So much so that the unconsciousness accompanying sleep couldn't ignore it. I struggled to get myself up. My legs were jelly beneath me, unable to support me. I couldn't walk. The cramp in my abdomen was numbling. I crawled my way to the bathroom. A surprising wetness filled the apex of my thighs. For a moment, I assumed I wet myself. But the piercing pain along with it made me believe otherwise.I dragged myself all the way to the bathroom. With the white lighting in the bathroom, I saw it bright and red. The red trail that followed me as I had dragged myself in, contrasted brightly with the white tile of the bathroom.I hoped it was not what I thought. I whimpered, the pain growing by the minute. As the pain increased, I stifled my groans and cries. The pain, e

MAURICE'S POVExhaustion washed over me as I stepped into my house. The familiar walls caused my tense muscles to relax. I was back in my haven. I didn't need to watch my back so often and concerned myself with figuring out who was trying to kick me out of business. Here, I could have time to myself."Yeah!!!!" The deafening squeal and the heels clicking hit my ears. I groaned as all my thoughts of relaxation jumped out the window. Lucy was home.She rushed to me, jumped and latched onto me like a child excited to have her dad back. "You stayed longer." She chided with a pout."I had to. Something came up." I explained as I let Nora take my briefcase."Welcome sir." Nora greeted. She disappeared as quickly as she had arrived."You were out with that woman, weren't you?" Lucy accused.I understood what she was talking about but I feigned not knowing. Lucy was referring to Amanda. Amanda was on the team we were closely working with in LA. Amanda was gorgeous. She turned heads and no ma

GLENDA'S POVI couldn't remember how long I've locked myself in my room. The dark color underneath my eyes screamed how sleep starved I was. I had cried out everything in me.I knew that the circumstances surrounding my pregnancy were complicated, but it still didn't stop me from feeling so terrible. I had just lost my baby. I wiped a tear that slid down my face at the thought of it. I couldn't come to terms with it. The baby already felt like something that belonged to me. I was already forming a connection to it. I wanted to give it many things and more which I was not opportuned to get from my mom. I guess that will never happen now. It will remain wishful thinking.But I had grieved enough. I couldn't remain locked in here forever. I needed to start putting my life back together. I looked around my room tiredly. The dishes from the meal I had sent to me days ago laid atop the vanity table in my room. I didn't touch a piece of it and I had not let Nora in to retrieve it. The sten
