The fireworks flared in the sky with beautiful colors in it. Everyone cheered to the fireworks and we greeted everyone with a smile on our lips, another year to count and share with everyone we love. “Happy New Year princess”. Isaac looked at me lovingly and kissed me which I returned fiercely. I wrapped my hands around his neck and enjoyed our kiss. “Happy New Year, love”. I greeted him when we parted with heavy breathing from our kiss. We continue to watch the beauty of fireworks with Isaac embracing me behind. I feel so contented at this moment.

    Bettany POV I feel too weak and lazy to move, I feel so uncomfortable within my whole body. I rubbed my eyes and opened them slowly. I realized I was all alone in the bed; Isaac was nowhere to be found. I checked the time on my phone and saw it was already noon. F*ck I overslept; Isaac didn't wake me up. I'm sure everyone is up by now, but what I will say is that Isaac tired me out yesterday. What my future in-law will think about me now, is that I'm lazy coz it's already noon and I'm still asleep. I got up in bed and rushed to the bathroom to take a bath before I went down to see my family and friends. I went down but when I got out of our bedroom I didn't know where to go. It's a big place and I could get lost immediately, I wonder where's Isaac now and everyone. I followed my gut feelings and took the path to my right and I ended up in the garden. I saw no one but I was amazed by the garden, it is beautiful and full of flowers. I saw colorful butterflies flying on top of the beaut

    “Did I do or say something wrong? I blurted and waited for his answer but he just stared at me fuming in anger. I stared at him as well, I'm so lost here why he's acting this right now. He's like a woman who's dealing with PMS by changing his moods easily. "Would you care to elaborate on what are you talking about in a pre-nuptial agreement? he said with his stern voice. Oh, and it dawns on me why he's so riled up now. "You know the typical one. I wanted to sign a pre-nuptial agreement with you, tell your lawyer to draft one and I will sign it". I explain to him to which he becomes angrier than what he already is. "Who told you I would be agreeing to that one and where did on earth you get that idea? Did my mom and dad ask you to do that thing? he said fuming in anger which was the first time I'd seen him like this. "No, don't get them wrong. No one told me about it. I'm the only one who thought of doing this and I want to". I explained immediately I didn't want him to misunderstan

    Isaac POV I’m seated in the middle of the meeting in the conference room with my marketing department still fuming in anger. I left Bettany inside of my office doing her work. The employee who was presenting in front of us stuttered and looked like he was going to pass out from the looks I’d given to them. I can’t focus on what he’s discussing right now, my mind still lingering on what Bettany said earlier regarding this pre-nuptial agreement. “Stop right there, we will continue this meeting tomorrow. Meeting dismissed”. I interrupted the presenter and the whole marketing looked down. They rush out one by one of the meeting rooms. I remain seated in my seat to calm myself first before going back to my office room. I don’t want to face Bettany in my foul mood. I hated it when we were arguing, this was the first time I lost my temper with her. I couldn't even understand why she even thought when she brought this topic to me. Not in even seconds did it occur to my mind to make her sign

I said to her while she gave me a confused look. "Okay, Boo did you argue with Bub? You can talk to me, you know". she assured me, I knew she already read me from the moment she saw me earlier in the restaurant but I kept hiding it. I don't want to put her in the middle of us, I know it will pass we just need to talk calmly. "Don't worry about it, I'm okay. Let's go before we get late for our appointment".

I’m tired now I think I need a rest. I love you always and forever, remember that”. my wife said and I realized her eyes were shutting slowly I panicked when I heard the unstable sound of the machine.

Do you have gender preferences in your mind? He asked. “None exactly, all I wanted is for them to be healthy. I don’t even care if they’re both male or female coz I will love them both no matter what”. I said lovingly. “Hmm, me too, princess. All I wanted is for all of you to be healthy. That’s all that I've been praying for”. he said and he walked towards me and kissed me on my temples and he kneeled to kiss my big baby bump. “By the way love, we still need to wait till evening before we know the gender.

    Bettany POV It's been a month since Dr. Pierce advised me to have full bed rest for the stability of our little bundles. To make sure they become healthy I follow Dr. Pierce's advice. Every day of the past month I've only left our bed when I'm going to use the bathroom but with the help of my husband. He didn't make me walk and he was afraid that I was going to bleed again. I understand his worry so I didn't argue with him. It feels like we're both in House Arrest but mostly bed arrest. In this past month, he didn't go to the company as well. He instructed Jeff that if it was only an urgent matter that needed his attention, that was the only time he could report to him. He didn't leave on my side 24/7 so our life in the past month only revolved around our bed. He made sure I didn't get bored as hell, he entertained me as much as possible. He always talked to our little bundle and that made him more adorable. He's going to be the best father to our twins that I'm really sure of. "Lov

Am I ready to hear what he will say? What if. No, don't think like that Isaac. My princess and our little bundles are stronger than I know. Nothing gonna happen to both of them." I said to myself. I'd never been scared of my life before but when I saw my wife had blood in her hands I felt someone tagging me once again in the dark. I repeated telling her that everything would be fine but the truth is I'm not actually sure of my words either. I need to be stronger for both of us. It's not the time for me to give in to the darkness. I have a wife who needed me to be her strength. No matter what happens I need to be stronger for both of us. "Mr. Jones, I'll be honest with you.
