HE HAD lost control over his emotions.From that moment he saw her walking out of their house without telling him where she’d go, he started to suspect that she would meet her Italian friend.And his instinct wasn’t wrong.He just found himself sitting at the far table where he could see his wife and Jose talking on the bar counter.He hated to admit that he was jealous.He thought Michelle had understood his feelings and would never associate herself with her Italian friend, but then again, it didn’t happen.Ethan could feel his anger getting into his head as he drank a bottle of beer on the corner. His eyes were like those of a hawk. One wrong move and Jose would taste his madness.The two carried on their conversation. Every second felt like a ticking bomb for Ethan. He wanted to go in their direction and get his wife, but he didn’t want Michelle to feel like he was putting a leash on her neck. He knew he wasn’t like that.However, when Jose pushed his luck by kissing Michelle, Eth
THE text messages she sent to Ethan went unanswered.Michelle knew he had seen them, but he chose to ignore them because of one thing: he was still mad at her. When Ethan went home that night, he didn’t bother making eye contact with her. She was invincible to him. He could only see Marsha in that one big mansion. She’d lie if she tell it didn’t hurt her, but Michelle understood why Ethan acted that way.He didn’t sleep in their bedroom again. The “cold war” between them made her unable to sleep from her usual sleep time. She tossed and turned around the bed, missing him so badly and wanting to talk to him properly but she was taking Megan’s advice—letting his man cool down.She received text messages from Jose. The man was apologizing for what happened in the bar, telling her he didn’t mean to make Ethan angry. He also apologized for kissing her, and promise that he’d never do that again. But the damage was already done, and she was in a situation she never wished to happen.The next
HE felt damn guilty…Damn guilty because he didn’t speak with her for the two days now and made her feel like her presence didn’t bother him even a little. But it wasn’t the truth.Whenever his wife lowered her head every time they would cross path at home, he would find himself staring at her. He’d feel how terrible he had long for her but his anger got the best in him and continued to be cold at her. He just couldn’t forget what happened in the bar and how her Italian friend kissed her.He was damn jealous.Damn mad too, thinking that if Michelle had stayed at home, it would not have happened.That morning when he left for work, his chest felt heavy. He missed his wife… so damn much that sleeping in his home office for another night would become his death.He needed to do something to clear the misunderstanding between them.Two days were enough.He tried to focus his mind at work, telling himself that he’d make up to her after work when he heard a knock on his office door. Seconds
“YOUR dress looks very arousing.”Michelle noticed that Ethan’s eyes fell to her very prominent cleavage that was exposing as she served the food she cooked herself as a surprise for him. She couldn’t help but wince, but at the same time she felt a tingling feeling deep within her groin area as he mentioned the word “arousing”.Needless to say, she wanted to be presentable and a bit alluring. Her hourglass figure was complimented by her fitted dress. She was hip and tits!It wasn’t like every day that she got to wear such clothes, as being a mother, she usually settled for comfy house clothes, but since she had a fight with her husband, she made an effort to wear a little extra, hoping that Ethan would finally talk to her and it actually worked.“Don’t you like it?” she teased him, raising one eyebrow.“I love it, but I might kill anyone who glances at you. Your boobs, for the record, are really a head-turner,” Ethan commented. His eyes still darkened whenever he stared at her chest.
THE VAN door opened.Michelle was carrying Marsha as they went out. Ethan took all of his suitcases on the passenger seat. One of his men took his things and went inside the airport.They walked inside and sent Ethan to the boarding gate. Marsha pouted her lips, almost on the verge of crying. Their daughter didn’t want him to go away even if it was just for a couple of days. She was a daddy’s girl and could not last a day without seeing her father. It might have been because she had lived for years without a father that she became clingy towards Ethan, and that she was still a child who always yearned for father’s attention.Ethan cupped Marsha’s face, smiling thinly as he noticed their daughter’s expression. It didn’t take long before she started to sob.“Oh, please don’t cry, my love,” Michelle said softly. She wiped her daughter’s tears away and fixed Marsha’s hair.“Daddy,” Marsha sobbed even more.Ethan took her from Michelle and carried her into his arms. The little girl immedia
"DID you hear what I said, Mich?"Michelle blinked twice and turned to the doorway of the kitchen. Her father was standing in front of the door, giving her a curious look. The old man’s lips formed a thin line. His eyes became filled with worry."Yes, Dad?""I think you should take a rest today," he said. "You look pale. Are you okay?"She cleared her throat and softly said, "I’m fine, Dad. You have nothing to worry about. I’m just a bit dizzy since I only had a few hours of sleep last night."It was Thursday, and Michelle didn’t feel right. She was feeling under the weather when she woke up that morning. She vomited in the bathroom right before going downstairs to prepare Marsha’s breakfast. Even if she wanted to stay in bed and sleep for hours, Marsha’s birthday was only two days away. There were a lot of things to prepare. She didn’t want to disappoint her husband when he got home."Are you sure?" Her father looked as though he wasn’t convinced by her explanation.She didn’t want h
"SHE FELT nothing but happiness…Michelle tried three more pregnancy tests and they all had one result.She was pregnant.She and Ethan would finally have another baby. Marsha’s wish came true!Her tears kept falling down her cheeks. A smile escaped her lips as she kept caressing her lower belly.Her best friend knocked on the bathroom door, getting so impatient because she had been inside for almost twenty minutes.“Hey, are you okay?” Megan asked worriedly and knocked on the door once again.Michelle wiped her tears away and grabbed all the pregnancy test. She was beyond excited and would want Ethan to find out about it first but she was not good at lying in front of Megan.She took a deep breath and opened the bathroom door. Megan threw her a curious look. Michelle sobbed and smiled.Her best friend’s eyes widened in surprise. She no longer need to beam out the great news as it was already written in her face.“Oh my God!” Megan exclaimed in glee and immediately embraced her tightl
“MOMMY, time to wake up…”The sweet little voice of her daughter made her slowly open her eyes. She felt the lightness of her body, especially her head. Her eyes went from the ceiling to her side, where she saw Marsha, who smiled in surprise seeing her regain her consciousness.“Mommy! You’re awake,” she exclaimed happily and then turned to someone who was inside the bedroom. “She’s awake, Mama Megan!”Michelle slowly moved her head to the other side. Megan was leaning against the wall with crossed arms against her chest. Her eyes found the calm afternoon sky through the glass of window right next to Megan. It was beautiful, and she would have appreciated its beauty, if not for her recalling what had happened before she passed out.Her chest suddenly filled with anxiety. She didn’t know why but she feared that something might have happened, and her instinct told her it was bad… very bad that it made her breathless once again.“How are you feeling now?” Megan’s voice was low, concerned
