"Congratulations, Miss Anabel! You are four months pregnant!" The doctor announced. "Here is the test result. Take a good look at it."
He handed the test result to her and she went through it. Tears of joy streamed down her delicate face. She had been waiting for this moments for two years, since marrying Desmond. Her mind flood with their love story. How he saved her from a dirty gang who wanted to rape her. How they got married and started living together. Though for the past few months, she was gradually loosing her husband to a lady his mother and his sister wanted him to marry. They fired all their maids so that she will have a lot of work to do in the house. They abuse and treat her like a maid but she endure all. Now that she was pregnant, she believed they will support and love her again. She believe they will stop abusing her. She rushed out of the door and headed to her car. Once she got inside, she dialed her husband's number. "Hi Honey, I have a good..." Her voice hung on air. She couldn't finish what she was saying. The filthy sounds and voice she was hearing left her flabbergasted. She had to take another another look on the phone screen to confirm it was her husband. She confirmed and put the phone back on her ear. This time, she could hear a feminine voice moaning loudly, "Yes baby! Ahhhh! Fuck me harder! I love your fucking dick! Fuck me like you have never fucked that bitch!" Anabel could recognize the voice. It was her husband rival, the lady her husband's mother was rooting for. "Ohh! Yesss! Tell me much much you hate that bitch!" Anabel heard the lady said. The lady had intentionally picked the call and dropped the phone so that Anabel could hear them. "She's so disgusting. I love you more than her. You are so sweet." Anabel heard her husband answer. She could also hear the sound of skin slapping against the other. At this moment, she couldn't bear it and hanged up. Her heart was shattered. She knew the Desmond was seeing her secretly and his mother was rooting for him, but she never knew he had been cheating. Her tears turned from joy to sadness. She looked down at her tummy and rubbed on it. "You will bring my love back to me." . . . Anabel got back home to meet, Mrs. Elizabeth, her husband's mother, drinking and chatting with Bella, her husband's sister. "Mom! Desmond had been cheating on me with Daniella!" She announced, expecting them to be shocked, but instead, the mother and daughter looked at each other and laughed "Oh! she's just finding out!" Mrs. Elizabeth said and turned her attention to Anabel. "You came to report to me that my son is cheating on you with my future daughter inlaw? Can you hear yourself?" "I don't know what you are talking about. The last time I checked, Desmond is my husband and he never told me he's going to marry that husband snatcher." "How dare you call my potential daughter inlaw a husband snatcher!" She rose up from her seat and slapped Anabel across the face. "The next time you say that, I'm going to punish you beyond your expectation." "Did you just slapped me?" Anabel asked, placing her hand on the hurting spot. "Yes! And I will slap you over and over again if you don't learn your lesson. You are the husband snatcher and not her. She's my son's finance and my future daughter inlaw." "What are you saying? I've been married to your son for two years and he loved me. Why all these?" At this moment, tears where rolling down her eyes. "Love? My son never loved you. He only got married to you out of pity. You are never his choice. You are just a country bumkin, saved by my son. You are never qualified to marry my son. I've been keeping cool, waiting for my true daughter inlaw. Now that she's back, Desmond is going to marry her." "Desmond loved me. He will not marry her." Anabel protested. "I can see you are ignorance of what had been going on." Bella spoke up. "For the past three months, My brother and Danielle had been seeing each other. You know what they use to do? They do have sex and lots of it. But you are so stupid that you never knew until today." "What? I thought they are just seeing each other." "Oh you thought." Mrs. Elizabeth mocked. "That is to tell how foolish you are. I'm only waiting for her to get pregnant. Once she conceive, we will be done with you. He will have a valid reason to divorce you." "Yeah!" Bella supported. "Who in his right senses will stick with a barren woman. Who knows how many abortion you have done that got your womb damaged." "What are you saying, Bella. I've never done abortion before." Anabel tried to defend herself. "Desmond is the man who broke my virginity. I'm not a barren woman." "Don't try to deny it, Anabel." Mrs. Elizabeth cautioned her. "A slum slut is calling herself a virgin. Do you take us as fools or what? For two years, all you have been doing is eating and wasting my son's strength on the bed. My son had been blinded by love, but very soon, his eyes will clear and he will see the reasons to stand with me and divorce you." "You are sounding as if Desmond is doing the right thing and I'm bad. Talking of divorce. I'm the one who is supposed to file for a divorce. Your son is cheating on me." "And what are you waiting for? Tell him that you want a divorce once he comes back and everything will be settled." "I won't do that. I love him. Even though he cheated, I still love him. I believe she seduced him. It's all planned to weaken me, and I won't divorce him." "I know that is what you will say. You can never say the truth." Bella smirked at her. "Which truth?" "Everyone knows that you are sticking around my brother because he's rich. You can't survive without him. Will you? You are afraid that if he divorces you, you won't have anywhere to go."They were still talking when Desmond walked in with Daniella, holding hands like couples. "Wow! My son and my potential daughter inlaw is here already! They look like a perfect match from heaven." Desmond's mother stepped forward and embraces her son. "Desmond!" Anabel called. "How can you cheat on me." He turned his attention to Anabel. "I don't understand. What are you talking about." "Do you want to deny it? Don't even try to. I called you this afternoon to share a good news to you, only to find out that you are cheating on me. I guess the husband snatcher picked the call and left it so I can listen to her sick moans." "I've warned you to deceit from calling my potential daughter inlaw a husband snatcher!" Desmond's mother intervened. "What good news do you have for him other than telling him that you found another sex style that will make you pregnant." "Son." She turned to Desmond. "You don't have to be hiding it from her. You are doing the right thing. Daniella is perfect
"Mother, Do you know why Desmond is hesitating to Divorce Anabel. I thought he will divorce her without second thought. She's barren and unproductive." Daniella said in disgust. "Yes, but I think Desmond believed she is blessed with good luck. Ever since he married her, things have been going well. He have achieved so many things easier and without stress." "I thought he picked her from the slum. How could he believe it was because of her. What if it's a coincidence?" "I've tried to convince him but he's been stubborn. He loved her and I hate it. I don't know if she charmed my son." . . . "Desmond, I can't stay with that woman. I will forgive you for cheating on me but i won't tolerate you bringing her in this house." Anabel spoke up when as Desmond walked on. "The last time I checked, this is my house. I'm the man of the house and I says what happens. Daniella is staying whether you like it or not. She's carrying my child." "Then what happens to our marriage? I can't share m
"Who are you calling?" Desmond asked."Why are you asking me who I'm calling? I'm no longer your wife. Who I'm calling is none of your business.""She must be calling her poor friends." Bella mocked."Mind how you talk to me Bella, I'm never your mate. Though I don't blame you. I blame myself for reducing myself so low that you can talk to me anyhow you want. If not that I married your brother, you are not qualified to talk to me. People like you run errands for me.""Stop blabbing. It won't help you. You are leaving and you are not coming back." Bella waved a mocking goodbye as Anabel made her way to leave with a small bag."Don't come back begging, Anabel. I won't listen to you. You have the privilege to stay and be our house help, other than going out to perish. All of us know that you don't have anywhere to go. I'm giving you a chance." Anabel heard Desmond spoke from behind. She paused and twirled her head towards him. "The last thing I will do is to become your maid. I'm going
"Take me to the best boutique. I need some new clothes." Anabel said just as she entered the car. The driver drove off without talking. He knew the best boutique in the city. In less than twenty minutes, they were there. They parked in the parking lot and she came down. "I will go inside inside by myself. I will call if i need any help." Anabel said before walking inside. The boutique is meant for the rich. A common person cannot afford the the least collections in the boutique. Anabel got interested in one of the gowns and called the sales lady to get it from her. "The gown over there." She pointed at the gown. "I need it. Get it for me." The sales lady looked up and saw the cloth she was pointing at. It was one of the most expensive collections. She stared at Anabel and shook her head. "Are you sure you know the cloth you are pointing at?" The sales lady asked. "I'm not having an eye problem. Get the dress for me." Anabel replied. "I'm sorry, I don't want to waste m
The Next Day, Anabel logged into the Company's dashboard and Input all her details on the page of Newly employed Janitor. She didn't border to change her name or anything. None of the employees, both high or minor knew who she is. Her father have not introduced her to the public. Only the senior manager could identify her. She will be visiting the company as a Janitor in disguise. She believed she would be able to fish out some offenders as a Janitor.She entered a taxi and headed to the company. The company's main building loomed before her as she entered the main gate. She approached the entrance, took a deep breathe and stepped inside.She walked up to the female receptionist. "Good morning ma'am. My name is Anabel. I'm a new employee.""Over there. You see that lady?" The receptionist pointed at a woman at the other end. "She's the recruiter. She will take care of you.""Thank you very much." She turned and walked up to the recruiter. "Good morning, ma'am." "Good morning, dear.
"Who do you even think you are? For Your information, Desmond was informed to come today for the final agreement and signing. You think you are a big deal? And you better watch your mouth. I can tell the senior manager to fire you." Daniella threatened."As if you a qualified to tell the senior manager what to do. Know your boundaries before you pit your to trouble. For you, Desmond, you are far, very far from getting the contract.""Anabel, the supervisor is waiting." The young lady alerted her."Anyway, I don't even have your time. I need to go and start my work." Anabel said and followed the lady."This will be your first and last day of working here." Anabel heard Daniella ranting behind her back and ignored. "Lets forget about her and go. People are already looking at you." Desmond cautioned Daniella and pulled her to follow him."I will tell the senior manager to fire her. Who do she think she is." Daniella mumbled."Calm down. Lets go." Desmond managed to pet her down.Daniell
"Yes." The senior manager answered. "The CEO will be involved. I can't change the policy without his approval. The CEO will review the contract and determine the best course of action.""How long will this take?""I will schedule a meeting with the CEO. I can't tell when you will receive a response.""This is becoming complicating. All because of Anabel?""I understand your concern, Desmond, but we must follow protocol. I will keep you informed."With that, the meeting concluded, leaving Desmond and Daniella uncertain about the contract.As they left the office, Desmond mumbled, "I wonder the kind of connection Anabel have with the senior manager. Why must he require Anabel's signature. I'm confused.""What else, if not that she's sleeping with him. She must have used her body to bag the contract for you. Can't you see it?" Daniella said."Are you sure of what you are saying?" Desmond asked."Are you doubting me? What else could she do if not to please him on bed.""Stop saying that.
"I can see you delive joy in bullying others. what if I report you to the senior manager?" Anabel said."Ohh! I'm scared! She wants to report me to the senior manger!" She mocked her. "Reporting to the manager won't change anything. It will only get you into trouble. So don't even think of threatening me with that. I will deny you infront of the senior manger and file for false accusation. You know what it means.""We have CCTV camera here. It will expose you." Anabel pointed out.."Don't be stupid. I control the CCTV camera. None of these camera's is working. You are new here, so I'm not surprised."At this time, the older woman had finished cleaniing"So I think it's time to know if you really need this job, because I can see that you are stubborn." The HR continued. "My shoe is dirty, kneel down and clean it.""Clean your shoe? Really?" Anabel asked, surprised at her odd request."Yes, Kneel down and clean my shoe. I won't repeat myself again." The HR warned."Cleaning your shoe is
