Chapter 1 A Surprise

After my wife got pregnant, she became unusually affectionate toward me, but I resisted doing the deed with her. However, I didn't expect to catch her cheating on me with another man during a prenatal checkup. Later, under the pretense of a business trip, I saw her walk into a hotel with a man whom I knew all too well.

My name is Shawn Carter, and I worked as a mid-level manager at a construction company. Things had been going smoothly for me at headquarters, but my boss had just informed me that I would be sent to an overseas project site with no set return date and would be leaving in a month.

At that moment, I had mixed emotions since who knew how long I would be away. Plus, the conditions would surely be tough since the foreign project had just begun. Although I could handle the hardship, I couldn't bear the thought of my wife, Vicky, suffering with me.

Just the thought of her warmed my heart.

Vicky and I met through a blind date and had been married for ten years. Our relationship grew stronger as we were compatible with each other, especially when in bed. However, it was a pity we hadn't had any children yet. This was a problem for us, especially Vicky.

Before the meeting ended, I noticed my phone was vibrating. It was a call from my wife.

She usually wouldn't contact me during work hours, so I assumed something must be up. Thus, I apologized to my boss and stepped outside to take the call.

"Darling, can you come home early tonight?" Vicky's sweet voice came through the phone, making my desire surge up.

I cleared my throat awkwardly and said, "Sure. Did something happen?"

Vicky didn't say anything and just told me that she had a surprise for me.

Then, I spent the rest of the day distracted, trying to figure out how to tell her about my business trip. Although the company said I could take her with me, I didn't want her to suffer with me.

After all, she was too delicate.

As I thought about that, I couldn't help but recall how she would always whimper in pain whenever I got a little too rough with her. At the same time, the idea of leaving Vicky at home alone didn't sit well with me since she was too much of a beauty to be left unattended.

Plus, I bet someone had already set their eyes on her.

I went right home as soon as I finished work.

When I opened the door, Vicky didn't jump into my arms like she usually did, and the house was pitch black with all the curtains drawn.

Just as I was about to turn on the lights, Vicky suddenly appeared and stopped me. Then, she blindfolded me with a strip of cloth.

Initially, I thought she was planning to play some role-playing with me tonight.

As her hands started roaming downward, my body reacted immediately. Just as I was about to take control, she gently pressed her fingers to my lips. I understood her intentions and waited for her next move. Then, she started undressing me, but I was growing impatient and undid the rest of my clothes myself in no time.

Vicky let out a soft giggle and guided my hands to her body. I could feel a thin fabric against her smooth skin.

I knew what was going to happen next. So, I couldn't hold my desire back any longer and pulled her into my arms, making her squeal in surprise. She tried to resist, but I turned my head and ripped off the blindfold. Then, I saw her face flushed with embarrassment as she looked at me with her big doe eyes.

She stared into my eyes and led me toward the bedroom.

Once inside, I couldn't believe what I saw.

It was a room full of memories from the day we met to the day we fell in love. Most importantly, she handed me a small gift box that looked like it contained a watch or something similar.

I took it and was confused about what was happening. Then, I went through many dates in my head, but it wasn't an anniversary or any special occasion that I could think of.

When I opened the box, a pregnancy test lay inside.
