Hera’s Pov

Marco was running late for our meeting. Again! His nonchalant attitude was beginning to irritate me. He needed the money more than I did, why wasn’t he fighting for it?

I called him a couple of times, the phone kept ringing, but he didn’t answer the call. I even texted him to confirm if he was still coming, he didn’t reply the text message as well.

I was getting impatient, I couldn’t stalk Eggust’s bitch freely anymore because for some reason, Eggust updated his security protocol.

But I couldn’t give up on my plan either, I didn’t come this far to quit.

It was just his first mission and he still hadn’t said a word about it. Whenever I asked, he insisted on seeing me in person first.

This was the second time I was fixing a meeting for us. The first time, he didn’t show up and this time, he was already fifteen minutes late.

Isla’s call came through while I was waiting for Marco at the bar. I ignored her calls at first, I don’t want my line to

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Son   The jackpot

    Hera’s Pov I woke up all giggly this morning. Looking forward to executing my next plan. It was one which I knew wouldn’t fail. The sun seemed brighter and even my cousin’s moderate apartment seemed like a five-star hotel to me. After the incident with her mum, which I apparently caused, Mia decided to get her own apartment. She moved out of her mum’s and it was only logical for me to follow her. I was getting tired of my aunt. I still hadn’t gotten a job after stopping the one at the hospital, for no reason, not like I tried to look for another one, either way, she’d been nagging me about it. So the best bet was to move out with Mia. I couldn't believe my luck! Just when I started cursing my stars and wallowing in self-pity, a bag of gold fell right into my lap. I really needed to learn how to be patient sometimes. But first things first; I needed to tell Eggust's mother about the baby, and in order to do that, I need proof. Not just a photo of Juss a

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Son   Too good to be true

    Juss Pov It’d been one week since my scan, which also happened to be the day I asked Eggust to move in with me. The recent events that were taking place in our lives made me realize there was no point holding back. I loved Eggust and he loved me as well, so instead of living in the shadows, as I had done for the most of my life, I decided to enjoy every moment with him. He was hesitant at first, and suggested we move to his house in Manchester which was much bigger than mine. But I made him see reasons why it was better to move into my apartment. Plus we were trying to keep a low profile relationship, so moving him with him instead would jeopardize that. I was getting used to always having him around me. When I wake up, at the breakfast table, at the dinner table, bathroom, everywhere. It began to feel more like home with him around. I admit I have never been this happy in my entire life. "I think I want ice-cream." I said to Eggust, as I couldn’t hold it in any lon

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Son   Another side of Marlani

    Juss’ Pov I couldn't believe my eyes as I stared at Marlani. I wanted so badly to believe it was only a dream and it wasn’t Marlani that was standing right in front of me, staring into my eyes, but it wasn’t a dream and it was her. My mind drifted to Eggust, had he been so excited that he mistakenly blurted out to his mum we were together? Or did he tell her because he just wanted us to get past this stage? He just asked me to be his girlfriend, perhaps he asked for her blessings, which I was certain she hadn’t come to give. My mind buzzed with a train of thoughts as I stared at the woman in front of me. I avoided her gaze due to the shame I felt. I had committed the worst crime on earth, and I doubted Marlani would ever forgive me. All my fears had come through. The little voice that had been warning me that things wouldn't be perfect for long, had been right all along; every garden had a snake. I stared at Marlani in shock as she stood on my doorstep glowering a

    Juss’ Pov While Marlani was trying to recover from the force of Eggust's announcement, I poked Eggust in his rib and tried to get his attention but he refused to look at me. The stubborn boy knew I wanted to beg him to let it go so he didn't even blink in my direction. I turned to Marlani. "Marlani, let's discuss this..." I started, trying to pacify everyone but Eggust cut in sharply. "There is nothing to discuss, Juss. Nothing is happening to my baby and that is final." "Eggust!" I chided but he ignored me. "No one is getting rid of my baby. They would have to go through me first." Marlani finally recovered from her shock. She looked at me, then at Eggust. "That decision is for the best Eggust. I wouldn't suggest anything else." "The best!" he echoed. "By whose standards? The devil's?" "Eggust!" "If that is the standard you're going to be using, then I can make decisions and choices for myself." "But what if the choices you make are wrong?" Marlani countered.

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Son   What have she done?

    Marlani’s Pov “I know, give him a chance, he will come around, I promise.” I said to Eggust's dad who was on the phone complaining about Eggust’s attitude recently. I tried to make him calm down, but when Sylvester was upset, only Sylvester could make himself calm. After he hung up the call, I tried to reach Eggust, but I still couldn’t. It hit the voicemail as it had been doing for the last few weeks. Something was up with Eggust, I could tell. As a mother, I knew it wasn’t something trivial. If Juss was here, maybe she would have helped talk some sense into him. He always listened to her, sometimes, more than he listened to me. I tried calling her as well, but her number was not reachable. I realized she had changed her line. “Damn you both, Juss and Eggust!” I couldn’t understand why the two most important people in my life suddenly decided to go awol, leaving me to worry about them. I wasn’t worried about Eggust as much as I was Juss, be

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Son   An unfamiliar place

    Juss’s Pov I had a strange dream, I was floating in space. I looked different, I sounded different, and I wasn’t pregnant anymore. I scanned my environment, but I could only see darkness. It was like a dark cloud covering the sky like a blanket. I was alone where I was, but I could hear voices echoing from a distance. “Juss, Juss,” I heard someone call out to me faintly, as if they were careful not to wake me, but it was strange because I wasn’t even sleeping. Or was I… Dead? Panic surged through me as I tried to process what was going on. My breaths became unsteady, I felt the wind pull me down, while I struggled to stop myself from falling. I was so afraid to fall because I thought if I did, that would be the end, so I held still. “Eggust, Eggust?” I called his name, hoping he would appear and tell me everything was going to be fine. But the more I called his name, the more my voice echoed, and soon the wind began to spin me really fast. I tried too hard to hold

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Son   Dinner date ruined

    Eggust’s Pov Ezekiel and I were on our way to the store to get some supplies because Juss finally agreed to move in with me to my apartment, which lacked quite a number of things. I knew Juss wouldn’t be comfortable after my mum’s visit, and I had always wanted us to move, her apartment was too small, so I took mum’s confrontation as an opportunity to finally convince her to move out of her apartment and into mine. It was bigger, had all the things that wouldn’t make her bored, and she had tons of maids attending her to her. When I first told her we were moving, I thought she would speak against it or try to convince me otherwise, but she accepted the idea and I was glad she did. “What?” I asked, noticing Ezekiel had been staring at me through the rear mirror. He shook his head and focused on the road. “Ezekiel if you have something to say, just say it. We’ve been over this over and over again.” I clamored, after catching him staring at me again: “It’s not

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Son   Fighting and settling

    Juss’s Pov I always thought that the hardest part of my relationship with Eggust was Marlani finding out about it. But the hardest part was dealing with life, now that the secret was finally out. Marlani had said some hurtful words to me, which I completely understood was coming from a place of hurt. I didn’t expect her to react the way she did, I wasn’t even sure what it was I expected from her, but it definitely wasn’t being slut shamed. I had tried calling her a couple of times since I got discharged from the hospital, but the call kept going to voicemail. I knew the best thing to do was to give her some space, but the selfish side of me didn’t want to, because I couldn’t imagine going through one of the hardest stages of my life, without having my best friend by my side. Because my selfish self doesn’t want to accept the reality that things might never be the same again between Marlani and I. I sobbed as the memories of all the things we had done together c

    JussOne week came to an end in the blink of an eye and it was time to go back home.“Babe, can we not go home?” Eggust groaned.“No way babe. The plan was to spend three days but here we are eight days later.”“Does it matter?” He whined.Eggust has always been a big baby and he wasn’t planning to grow up any time soon.“It does! Now stop being a baby and get up.”“But I’m a baby, or isn’t that what you call me.”I raised my hands in surrender triggering laughter for the both of us. “You win. So dear baby, get up, mummy wants to bathe you.”“Mummy should carry me to the bathroom.” He murmured.“Really?” I bent down to carry him immediately and fell back on his body and we got into another fit of laughter.He ended up carrying me to the bathroom.While we were bathing together everyone was washing their bodies so I had nothing in mind when I applied face wash with my eyes closed, but Eggust had other plans.He started massaging my soapy breast. It was soft and slippery, making me moan

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Son   The rest of our lives

    Eggust's POVThree years laterThe excitement woke me up. It was our wedding anniversary and I was going to have Juss all to myself all-day for the first time in such a long time.I couldn't wait. I opened my eyes with a smile when I felt little feet pushing again my rib.Yep, one of the kids had snuck into bed with us again. It had become a habit in the past one year but my mom assured me that they would soon outgrow it really.I certainly hope so because this sharing business was not funny at all.Ten minutes later, at exactly 7:00 a.m. the doorbell rang and I rushed downstairs to get the package from the delivery guy.I had ordered a breakfast package to serve her in bed because I knew I wouldn't get through with cooking before she woke up. These days the kids ruled the house and whenever they woke up, everybody else had to wake up too.Juss had been craving Chinese for a while now and so I decided to surprise her with it. I put it on a tray and waltzed into the room singing a son

    Marlani's POVIt was such a monotonous routine. Everyday, I woke up with a pain in my back due to the uncomfortable couch in the hospital room. I did my morning oblations in the bathroom then came to sit by his bedside till about noon when the second maid would come with lunch, then I'd go home, change and come back.The doctors tried their best to assure me he would be fine, but when your loved one was in a coma, it was difficult to have good thoughts. Grandfather’s dream replayed on my mind over and over again. I almost found myself begging him to let Sylvester go. It wasn’t his time yet. I was on the verge of giving up. The only thing that had kept me sane was talking, and talking I did.I went on to tell him about everything!Things that were happening in the world and in my life, hoping he would wake up and ask any questions but he never did.There was nothing I did not do.I cried.I prayed.I got angry at him.I begged.I appealed to him but nothing seemed to work.He just d

    Marlani's POV"We need to leave now ma'am." My housekeeper said to me very early this morning.I couldn't understand how the day was so bright when I felt so gloomy.Today, we were holding a funeral for my father in law! His death still felt surreal, he was such a pillar and leader. Yes, he was gruff and grumpy and even mean occasionally, but generally, he had been a wonderful person.Nature had to show respect and join in the mourning!!!I smiled sadly to myself as I realized the impossible and crazy thoughts I was having."What has come over you Marlani?"I guessed it was panic. A really big one.Grandfather had been the only one who had kept the family together and now that he was gone, I didn't know what would happen to us.No one was capable of or willing to fill his shoes. Sylvester had changed, but I had doubts he could fill in grandfather’s shoes. Eggust was still mad at everyone for what we did to Juss, though he tolerated us because of her, he still held grudges. I didn’t th

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Son   The dreaded phrase

    Juss’ Pov Today was the final court hearing for Hera’s case, I was already getting frustrated with the way the case was going. They had all the evidence, why did they still need to have multiple hearings, just to prove that Hera was really guilty?Her cohorts had already confessed to their crimes, it took a little push from Ezekiel to get them to all turn against Hera. They were released and asked to pay a fine because they were her accomplices. But her charges were more, as the mastermind.It was funny how a harmless looking person like Hera, was responsible for my dilemma. She didn’t even look like someone who would go as far as opening an anonymous account just to ruin my life. Yet, I felt pity for her. She was just a woman who fell in love with the wrong person. Her obsession with Eggust had driven her to do all of those things. I was this close to begging Eggust to drop the charges, but I held back when I realized I wasn’t the only one she put through trauma. Eggust suffered

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Son   A new beginning

    Juss’ PovAs I slowly opened my eyes, the haze of sleep began to clear, and I was met with the sound of faint chatter. My motherly instincts immediately kicked in, and I scanned the room for my babies. My mind relaxed as I spotted them safely in the arms of Eggust and Marlani. She had been a different person since I gave birth. Two days ago, she even offered me a heartfelt apology. Of course I forgave her, but that didn’t stop the awkwardness between us from lingering. I was grateful she cared about Oscar and Elaine though. It still felt like yesterday, even though it had been a whole week since I had my babies. I was to be discharged today and Sylvester had made arrangements for us to stay in grandfather’s house, as per his request.Grandfather was the first person to notice I had woken up. "Ah, Juss, you're awake," he said, drawing others attention to me. His voice was weak but filled with love.I tried to sit up, but my vision started to blur, a wave of dizziness washed over me,

    Marlani…I found myself in my car, a couple of hours after Sylvester left, driving towards Eggust’s house. I couldn’t bear the feeling of guilt that gnawed at me. His house was a few miles away from here, so it took me some time to get there. When I got to the front door, I heard some noises coming from the living room. I recognized the voices as Sylvester’s Juss’ and Eggust’s.Sylvester was here? what was he doing here?There was a bit of scuffle, Sylvester and Juss were not exactly in an argument, Eggust would definitely not allow it. But they went back and forth. Sylvester accused Juss of hating him and being the reason why I never gave him a chance to redeem himself. While Juss insisted she was only trying to protect me. She knew what he did to me, and didn’t want me to go through something like that again. Eggust only interrupted when Sylvester’s voice got louder. He repeated the same words “careful dad, I will not let you insult my fiancée in our house.”“Our house?”They wer

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Son   Hard realization

    Sylvester’s Pov I got into my car, turned on the engine and drove to god-knows-where. I had nowhere in particular I thought of going to, I just knew I wanted to be as far away as possible. Not because I was mad at Marlani for what she said, ‘cause truthfully I deserved it.Instead, I was mad at myself, for thinking I could offer an apology, show her how much I’ve changed and the effort I’m putting in to make sure our relationship is better, then she would accept me again, and helplessly fall in love with me. That didn’t only make me a jerk, but completely delusional as well. But did she have to do it immediately though? After our moment of wild sex. Couldn’t she have just waited until tomorrow or the day after then?My grip on the steering was firmer. A car tried to overtake me, but I was too focus on my anger to notice that. Due to his frustration, the driver honked at me, cursing as he was finally able to.I yelled back in frustration, flipping the driver my middle finger. My knuc

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Son   Biggest fear

    Marlani After the meeting with Eggust’s grandfather, Sylvester drove me back to his penthouse. We hadn’t really talked about the day, which I was thankful for, it was a sour topic and the last thing I wanted was to be vulnerable around Sylvester. Things were much better now that we were living together, than they were in the last twelve years. Sylvester worked from home and barely left the house, unless he wanted to buy groceries, which was weird, because he never went to the grocery store himself. At first, I thought it was because of a lady, perhaps a new fling he was hooked on. But after his constant requests for me to join him, I realized he was doing it all to please me. Sylvester Flemming, doing everything in his power to be called a better husband? Who would have thought? Certainly not me. I just finished making breakfast and was setting the table, when I heard footsteps approaching, I turned around to see Sylvester sauntering down the stairs. He flashed me a warm smile as
