" Congratulations, Mrs Atticus. It's positive. You are five weeks pregnant " The doctor said with a smile right up on his face. He directed it to the lady who sat across him, The wife Of Asher Atticus.

Julian stares blankly at the man across her for a long time, and then she scoffs.

" That's a joke, right? Please... Tell me it's not "

" Of course, it's not. Here are the results. " Julian took the results of her pregnancy, and she sighed, almost bursting into tears. All she could think about now was her husband. Now, after so many differences, she is sure once she hears about their baby, things will change for the better between them.

In glee, she rose to her feet and headed out at once after thanking the doctor.

On her way to her car, she dialed the contact of her husband, but after numerous rings, he didn't pick up.

" He just is busy with his project as always," She said to herself aloud, assuring herself Asher was only in the lab, super busy as always.

Joyfully she put a call to her mother, telling her she is pregnant. Her mother, Mrs Atlas couldn't believe her ears.

" Are you sure? " Her mother asked in awe. " I thought you said he didn't touch you "

" Well, that happened five weeks ago. He was drunk that night and he took me to bed. Now the results are out, Mom. I am so excited. What do you think Asher will say? He will be surprised too, right? "

Mrs Atlas stayed silent on the other end for a while. When she resumes speaking, her voice has become shaky from emotions.

" My beautiful daughter. You see, when I got pregnant with you, this is how I broke the news to your dad. I made dinner, his favorite dish, and I waited till he came home from work. When he did, during the meal, I broke the news. He was so overjoyed, my dear Jully. I am sure Asher will be pleased too "

For some seconds Julian also nodded, trying to fight back tears.

" I will do as you have done too, Mother. Now I have to get going. I'd fill you in on how things go. Okay? "

" Okay, my dear. Be careful, alright? "

" Of course I will. Bye mom "

Julian gets into her car and drives home at once. She glanced at her wristwatch when she arrived at the Ashju mansion. The massive house where she lived with her husband of three years.

It is already early evening, 4 pm, and Asher is expected to arrive home by 6 pm. She alighted quickly and headed in. They had no maids. Asher didn't employ one. He is a man who loves his space, and Julian respects his decision.

So she does the cooking herself, happily and wholeheartedly. After about an hour, the table was seated with champagne and lighted candles to create the perfect romantic moments.

Julian takes one last glance at everywhere; satisfied that everything is in order, she goes in to take her bath. That night, she put on her sexy nightgown, which was a transparent one. Without any bras on but only thongs, she headed into the dining room. Her long black hair swirled lovingly around her waist.

She sat down, quietly, waiting for him. A smile on her face, while anticipating his reaction when he heard the news. The time ticked by slowly, and the 6 pm ticked by as well. The sky darkened, making her grow anxious and worried.

She reached for her cell phone to call him, but she decided against it at the last moment.

" He is probably busy in the lab. I should wait for him "

Another hour passed by, and at this time, the beautiful lady couldn't wait anymore. She picked up her cell phone to call him, but then, the sound of a car cruising in stopped her.

Hurriedly she rushes to the window to peek out and she saw him. The greatest Scientist New York has ever produced. He specializes in curing very rare diseases and genes. He finds cure for those who had lost hope. He is best at his job but when it comes to his role as husband, he failed so woefully. Despite his attractive eyes and gentle nature, He is known to be so arrogant and impatient. But now, at that moment, Julian believes he will change.

She rushed back to her seat as she awaited him to walk in, and when he did, she shot him a smile.

Asher stops abruptly on his way towards the bedroom. Still dressed in a lab coat, he regarded her with surprised and distasteful look. Julian saw this look on his face, but she waited and hoped he'd come to her, and at last, as though God had overheard her wish, it was answered.

Asher walks towards the dining room and looks around, obviously amazed at the atmosphere.

" I see you have no better things to spend my money on. Was this why you took a sick day off at work? " He asked with that same cold voice which she had endured for so long.

Julian's heart drops upon hearing this. She wonders why he had changed so drastically after a year of their marriage.

" I was sick, Asher. It's the truth "

" Really? " He drawled but didn't wait for her response before he reached into his bag and pulled out a neat file, which dropped before her.

Julian was confused at first. She raised an eyebrow as she reached out to the papers.

" It's a divorce paper. I have a Mistress, Jully. We have been together for two years now. You should know her. Hattie, the receptionist at your department "

At these words, Julian was dazed. She scoffs hilariously.

" That's a funny joke. I never know you are good at comedy, Asher. I have a good news to tell you and ... "

" The good news you can provide for me right now is to tell me you want to leave! " He snapped all of a sudden, jolting her. " I am sick of sharing a home with you. I have only put up with your nuisances because I respected your father. Now I won't hold back. Sign the divorce papers and disappear with whatever news you have for me. Both of you could rot in hell for all I care "
