Marco’s Pov

“No, Jessica, I do not have the money to give you now, in fact, I do not have any money to give you, what is your problem? Can’t you understand?”

Jessica had called me to request for money again, she was scheduled to go to the hospital, but I had no money to give her. I knew it was my responsibility, but she was being too hard on me.

The phone went silent, I could hear nothing but her rasped breaths.

“Por favor mi amor, I promise I will send you money as soon as I can, but for now, I am completely empty. That Hera girl is a liar, I have done everything she said, but she has refused to pay me.”

“Then stop doing what she says!” Jessica’s tone was sharp and stern, but I couldn’t understand how she expected me to get the money if I stopped working for Hera.”

“But, my love, we need the money.”

“Yes, we do. Look, Marco, I’m not saying we should give up on the money, I’m saying you should stop being a puppet to that little English girl. She’s using you, Marco,

  • Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Son   A surprise

    Juss’ Pov I had been calling Marlani for the last few days, but my call continued to go to voicemail. If I knew where she lived, I would have gone there myself. Although, it was expected that she wouldn’t welcome me with open arms, at least she would have the opportunity to take out her anger on me, maybe that would make her hate me less. The day Marlani stormed here like an angry predator, I had never seen her that angry. The scene played over and over again in my head, like a nightmare I couldn’t forget. She suspected I was pregnant before I even knew I was, she offered me support in case I was indeed pregnant for Marco, and promised me my child would never lack anything if I was pregnant. I guess all that changed when she realized I wasn’t pregnant for Marco but her son. Even after I ran away, she sent so many messages, convincing me to come back, if I was pregnant, we would figure it out together. Would things have changed if I had told her Eggust was hitting

    Eggust’s Pov “A proposal!” I yelled, clapping my hands. Ezekiel stared at me like I had gone nuts. I couldn’t blame him, it wasn’t easy to work with me, you always expect the unexpected. “You know it would help if you do not stand there like a statue but rather it would if you open your mouth and speak.” “It’s not in my place, sir.” “It has never been in your place, yet you always managed to insert yourself into the situation, now it shouldn't be any different.” He shrugged and sauntered towards me, until he was standing directly in front of me. “I do not even need to ask you what’s going on in that head of yours, sir, but I can assure you it isn’t a good idea. You’d just complicate things even more.” He looked serious, but I couldn’t understand a thing.. “Ms Indigo needs time to process everything that has happened recently. Her relationship with your mum goes beyond you, you need to let her make these decisions for herself. Do not put her in a difficult situati

    Hera’s Pov After what happened between Marco and I, I realized that we didn’t use protection, and the dimwit didn’t care about it. That’s probably how he got Jessica pregnant, he was an irresponsible lot. I stopped by the pharmacy to get a post pill, it would be totally stupid to get pregnant for a dumb piece of shit like Marco. Also, any child who doesn’t have Eggust as a father, has no business having me as a mother. The lady at the counter eyed me when I showed her a teller of the drug I needed. “You’re supposed to come with—“ “With the guy I fucked?” I cut in. “I had a one night stand with a stranger who happened to be blackmailing me and is possibly about to be a father, do I really need him to come with me to get a post pill?” She stayed silent, took my card and handed me my receipt. I forced a smile at her, before making my way to Mia’s apartment. I was certain I left a long lasting impression on her. It was her fault for trying to badger me like that. W

    Marlani’s Pov “Can you stop chewing so loudly? I would expect Sylvester Flemming to be a cultured man and not some uncivilized thing.” I was having lunch with my husband, although the word had begun to feel heavy coming out of my lips lately, I did commit to a life of forever with him. I found everything he did irritating, the way he chewed, the sound of his breathing, even the way he cut his meat like he was pampering it. I wondered why I was so irritated by his presence, then it occurred to me that we barely shared the same house, we were only together for most public events and whenever either of us remembered we were married. “Why are you being whiny? People pay to have lunch with me, you know? But I decide to have lunch with you Marlani, and you act as though I’m a bug.” “They pay to have lunch with you because they want your money, your money that my son works hard to make, while you spend it on some tart.” He snorted his nostrils as he laughed, which was a

    Hera’s Pov Like clockwork, a tall handsome Hispanic guy walked up to the front door with a really big duffel bag at exactly 4;35pm. After Mariani's statement, I had stayed back to eat and drink as much as I could, knowing she was going to pay for it all. After about 20 minutes, a thought occurred to me. "What if she had already cleared the bill on her way out and I was obliged to pay for every other thing I had eaten since?" The shrimp I was swallowing froze in my throat and I had to drink three and a half glasses of water to push it down. Anxious, I scanned the restaurant but there were no waiters close by so I picked up my cheap purse and made my way to the door, praying not to get caught. Just as the doorman opened the door for me, a waitress called out. "Please hold on madam." My heart dropped. Here goes my freedom for the next year. I was going to be stuck here doing dishes for eternity. I thought of running out regardless but the doorman closed the door so

    Eggust’s Pov Even with the air-conditioning on full blast, I still felt hot. The appliances in this apartment really needed to be upgraded. If this were my house at London or a hotel of my choice, I wouldn't be having this problem. When Juss gives birth to our child, I would convince her to move in with me, to the house I am currently building in Manchester. That’s if she decides to stay in Manchester. It would be much bigger and all the appliances would be up to date. Or if she chose to stay in America, Mexico or anywhere else in the world, I would just buy a big house there and renovate it to our taste. It was a hot afternoon and I had decided to take the time to work since Juss was in the bedroom sleeping. It still amazed me that she could manage to do so in this heat. She really was extraordinary, I thought, before I remembered the tiny apartment she was staying at before I managed to make her move in here with me. Such a tiny, shanty thing with barely enough roo

    Juss’ Pov I found myself in a garden, I could tell it was spring, with the way the flowers bloomed. I wore a blue dress, it was a silk dress, decorated with silver stones. It hugged my figure perfectly, like it was made just for me. I didn’t feel pregnant, so I glanced at my bump instinctively, I almost screamed my lungs out when I found my tummy really flat, but then a little girl yelled mommy from a distance, and I stopped because I knew she was my daughter. She had eyes like mine and her hair was like her dad’s. Besides having my color of eyes, she looked so much like Eggust, that I was offended I had gone through all the stress just for our child to end up looking like him. “Hey baby, where are your shoes?” I asked her, smiling. “They’re with daddy, I took them off so I could run really fast.” I giggled, as my eyes met Eggust’s. He was dressed in a white shirt and black shorts. I teased him for being dressed like a waiter for our picnic. He insisted I wa

    Hera’s Pov I was pleased with myself after listening to Marco's recording of his visit to Eggust's father. He had really outdone himself this time. I would have been convinced if I were Eggust's father. But now, after a week, nothing has happened. Marco had obviously squandered the money I gave him within one week, because he was back to blackmailing and threatening me. I had exhausted my arsenal of information so I didn't have any bargaining chip to use with Marlani. 'And even if I did, would I keep working for the money just to pay him?' The question rang in my head but I had no choice. Killing him was out of the option so this was it. I had thought about blackmailing him again with the sexscapade we had but after walking in on his phone call with Jessica, I knew she had found out already and was okay with it. The problem was she was demanding for more money from Marco and he was pressured to meet her demands so he was equally putting more pressure on me. I closed

    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

    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.

    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.

  • 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

    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

    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
