“Let's sleep here together,” Zach let tap the bed, though she was in his room she didn't plan on sleeping in his room until now he said.They just completed their dinner, which Zach fed his wife happily.It was the first time Zach had some deep conversations with her, and she was satisfied with it.A bit happy by the way her husband cares so much for her, worriedness increases now and then in fright.Still confused about what had just transpired minutes ago, not saying a word she lay on the bed like he had said.So quiet and at the same time enjoying her peace with her husband, sleep took over, and was taken to the land of slumber.Zach noticed his wife slept off already, so he adjusted her well on the bed so she didn't have any aches when she woke up.In the process he kept admiring her beauty, he didn't know when a smile escaped his lips but for some weird reason, the smile didn't last long when some feelings stared up at him.The next day Zach woke his wife up for breakfast on the
TWO WEEKS LATERChloe sat in front of the girls having a girl's night, more like having their reason for choosing it as that.The whole living room was a mess, Sarah could be seen in front of her system and racking through her brain as her finger tapped effortlessly on the keyboard.While Carrie kept writing down the IP address, she couldn't digest it even though she was sleepy.Chloe on the other hand in her lost thought, “Got it!" Sarah yelled, jumping up which startled the weary and sleepy Carrie.But one person wasn’t with them, Chloe. They moved closer to her calling her name severally.Only when they tapped Chloe did she get back her senses, “Chloe? Is there any problem?" Chloe shook her head.“You can't fool us!" Carrie chimed in looking angry, her sleepy face long gone.She hates how Chloe keeps the burden to herself in the name of her not wanting to bother them.“Boss asked us to protect and take care of you. If you keep being sad and fall sick, what do you want us to tell hi
“Nothing," Chloe jumped in with a smile, but he wasn't having a happy smile on.“Why do I feel like I just jumped into an important conversation?” his eyes darting from his wife to Mike.“Nothing, just having a friendly talk,” her voice cracked as she lay in between.Although he didn't believe her, he was more worried about her not picking up his call for a while.Leaving him to be worried and confused, he had left his work hanging because he couldn't talk to his wife.“Your phone?" He solicited his eyes tracing all over the living room wondering what the heck was going on before his arrival.“I was busy…” Chloe lied, silent for a while he sighed."Don't get me worried next time please,” he strutted toward her, and before she could understand his plight he pulled her in for an embrace. Her gaze met with the trio, she could tell they were not happy with the decision she was about to take but couldn't say anything because of the promise and also wouldn't want him to be mad.“Let's leav
“Take your phones off!” A deep voice grumbled and now pulled Chloe up.Not without another word they walked out of the building and into their car with the help of their guards.“Take care of them all, Once her video goes out I will make sure to destroy you all.” He warned the guards as he shut his wife's door.He drove out of the building sadly, he had thought he would make the night a bit special for his wife but now it’s all ruined.“Is he your son?” Chloe asked after the long silence, she had thought of not getting bothered about it but she still couldn't “I need to get a DNA test done before accepting it,” he answered, staring at his wife.“Concentrate,” she caught him off his lost stare, he smirked a bit and continued driving.“I am so mad at you,” Chloe let out a bit of the burden in her chest, and she began hitting his shoulder.Zach didn’t let this get to him until he stopped, noticing his wife might get them in an accident if he didn't stop.“Love, I am sorry.” He whispered
He pulled up in the driveway and shut his eyes with a deep breath. Every fucking place he took her for the day ended up in a mess.He had thought of taking her to a restaurant, but she was in no mood to go anywhere. Chloe is astonished by the way her husband has made her feel so important and at the same time still not telling him about his pregnancy.She thought it would be best to just take care of this and make them start their relationship afresh.“Stay in the car, I will help you out myself,” she smiled, seeing how worried Zach was.He had been asking her continuously if she was doing fine.It was also the first time she felt nauseous since she got pregnant.She had always watched how it goes from one person, she never knew it would be happening to her soon.The worst part is she does not know how to tell the one responsible for it.He opened the door and lifted her before she could have thought of alighting from the car, hoping this continued and they understood one another.Th
NEXT DAY “Good morning..” Chloe jumped off before she could even respond to Zach’s greeting.She rushed into the bathroom to pour out every single item in her tummy.Worried Zach ran after her and watched her pour every single content in the toilet bowl.“Are you feeling okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?” Zach asked his wife but she just shook her head.She knew it was all because of her pregnancy and one thing she wouldn't want to let him know was that she was pregnant.Not after the previous night scenario, despite her telling Zach she was doing okay he didn't believe her.Instead, he called his best friend immediately, without his wife's knowledge, and told him about her symptoms.Mike on the other hand knew Chloe was pregnant and must not have told Zach.“Did you do what I told you to do last night?” “Yeah I did, but…”“You didn't Zach,” Mike sighed and told him not to give her any medication.And she would be fine, still Zach wasn't convinced he was scared at how she k
“No, I can explain…” Pulling her hands forward she tried to move closer to him but for the first time, he shifted back.“Why didn't you tell me?” He asked, the anger now fully evident in his eyes. He had his doubts that something was going on with her that she didn't want him to know about. Still, he wasn't getting worried or asking her about it even though he was damn curious.Finding out now that she had an abortion was like an arrow piercing through his heart.“I was scared of how you would react, I wanted us to start a new life with no pain.” she tried explaining. “A new life?” he solicited the pain surging in him, “Jess you still don't trust the love I have for you,” he mumbled under his breath now looking down.His reaction made Chloe regret her action more, maybe she should have just revealed the truth to him and not seen this side of him forever.He stormed out of the room before she could say more, Chloe looked back at her friend's anger bubbling in her.“I hate you both!” S
Zach was still hurt at the whole thing and regretted not understanding on time that his wife was pregnant.The pain of losing his child with the one he loves hits so deep.“Zach, what do you mean by she aborted it? Didn't you do what was asked?” Zach stared at his friend trying to grasp his friend's word and process it.“You knew she was with a baby?” The moment he asked, Mike shut his eyes, having a frustrated look.Zach stood from his couch, he took his pain coming to Mike’s apartment only to find out his friend knew about the pregnancy.“And you fucking said nothing about it!” His cold deep voice reminded him of his anger issues but he kept hiding it.“Hey it isn't my fault, your wife forced me to… " Zach threw a punch at his face shutting him up, he pulled Mike by the collar of his shirt and punched him again.He kicked him backward and let him go this time.“You are my fucking best friend?" Zach growled, he didn't want to intensify his fury so he just shut his mouth and awaited
