Married To My Ex's Father 0030
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

MAURICE'S POVI didn't understand why Glenda had turned so quickly and bumped into me until I heard Nana's voice downstairs. Nana had just returned? Nana was supposed to have been back earlier than today. I wondered why Nana was only just returning and I made a mental note to ask later.I turned my attention back to Glenda and watched her massage her head, her face scrunched in pain.It was obvious that she had seen Lucy and I kissing with the response she gave me. I noticed the darkening around her eyes as she spoke. She looked exhausted and I wondered why."Are you sick?" I asked.I noticed how quickly she averted my gaze, and mumbled an automated 'I'm fine' response before she scurried off.I shook my head as I watched her depart. She was still scared of me and I didn't know if I liked that. I pushed that thought behind me and headed downstairs to welcome Nana.Nana's hug was warm and loving as always. I smiled as she enveloped me in a bear hug. After greeting Nana, I turned to get

GLENDA'S POV "Eh, Glenda?" Nana's voice jolted me out of my head.I raised my head to her and questions filled my eyes. "What did you say, Nana?""I asked if you think anyone would be able to resist my beauty." Nana repeated and my mind traveled back to the conversation we were having just before I zoned out."Oh no, Nana. I don't think anyone can resist your charm." I said with a forced smile."See! At least someone knows it!" Nana feigned anger at Maurice and I smiled at her action.Nana was a wonderful woman, always jolly. I wished I had her kind of free-spiritedness. Despite her health, she still joked about trivial things. Dinner was quiet thereafter. I still couldn't eat much. After Maurice's confrontation and Lucy's insults hurled at me, I forced myself to consume some of the meal. The food tasted great but I really didn't have the appetite to eat. My heart was still heavy from my loss. And I was carrying the weight all alone.Maurice finished his food and sighed in satisfact

MAURICE'S POV "What was that about?" Lucy chimed once Nana and Glenda were out of ear shot.I rolled my eyes, knowing very well what Nana tried to do. Apparently, her plan was successful. Lucy could never understand when someone was consciously trying to rile her. She always fell bait to Nana's scheme."It's nothing. Nana was just being Nana." I said, getting up from my seat.Lucy jerked up from her seat and was at my side immediately. "No, it's not nothing. There's something and you're not telling me." She insisted.I was in no mood to listen to her nag. "I thought you promised this night would be special." I reminded her and turned to face her. I moved in closer to her and was about to pull her to me, closing the distance between us. But she shifted away from me."Well guess what! You just ruined it!" She snapped and sauntered away, swaying her hips invitingly.I knew she wanted me to go after her. Beg her even. Lucy can be a handful. I gave it a thought and decided against going a

GLENDA'S POVI couldn't take my gaze away from the rising sun. The big orange hue as it seemed to sit on top of the water in the distance, took my breath away and held my attention. The cool breeze caused gentle ripples over the water as the rays from the sun seemed to color the water. It was such a beautiful sight.The view I had just witnessed was beautifully ingrained in my memory. Slowly, I turned my head to look at Maurice. A mix of conflicting emotions filled my mind."Why did you bring me here?"He shrugged his shoulders as he seemed to pounder on his reply. "Don't you like it?" His gaze held a tinge of doubt. I hoped he didn't regret bringing me here."No, no, no. I love it!." I bowed my head shyly. "I just wonder why you thought of this."He still doesn't respond to my question. His gaze turned brooding as they rested over the waters before he spoke."Your mother used to love it here. She would always stop here before leaving." He smoothly changed the topic.My eyes softened

MAURICE'S POV"Where were you!" Lucy snapped as soon as she set her eyes on me. Her daring angry gaze rested on me. She had been probably expecting me to go to her last night.I had totally forgotten about her. Lucy's disturbing shriek contrasted sharply with the quietness I had shared with Glenda down at the lake. Lucy's voice was giving me a headache and I found myself missing Glenda.But then again, I could never let Lucy find out I had spent an entire night out with Glenda. I was grateful Glenda had gone straight into the kitchen when we entered the house with the intention of helping Nora make breakfast. She didn't seem one bit tired or sleep-deprived. Rather she looked more active than usual and I found myself happy that I did what I did.Lucy would have given me a harder time if she had seen Glenda and I entering the house together at that hour."I was in my room." I responded as I began taking the flight of stairs."Maurice, don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you!" Lu
