Stuck In Matrimony 16~Hannah
I looked through my window and spotted a familiar car approaching the house. I stood up and took a closer look. "That's Rajesh's car for sure." I thought aloud.I decided to not get my hopes up and sit still, waiting for my mother's call in case he was actually the one.I paced the room for minutes, waiting for her to call my name. A slow knock eventually came through. An unusually slow knock that reminded me of the several horror movies I had seen. I stealthily walked towards the door and gradually pulled it open to be met with the shock of my life.My breaths quickened in that instant as my eyes met his scary blue ones. "Zach?" I whispered, not wanting to believe that he was right in front of me. He took a step further in and my heart raced at the realization. He was here, in the flesh."What are you..., how did you,...when?" I didn't know what I was saying but that simply showed how utterly confused I was to see him here."Been a while wifey." His back was turned to me as his eyes

She hadn't said anything to me since we left her mother's house. I glanced at her eyes that had gotten swollen due to how hard she had been crying. She didn't want to leave. I knew, but not having her near me was making me go crazy. I had to treat her with an iron fist to make her listen. Of course I didn't mean any of those things I threatened her with but her believing otherwise was a good thing.I had missed her despite how much I didn't want to admit it to anyone, even myself. I adjusted the blanket over her once again, been doing that nonstop since she fell asleep. I truly hoped there would be a form of normalcy in our relationship dynamics when we got back to the US. But with how much she hated me at the moment, I had doubts about that thought.I reached for her phone and unlocked it. It was surprising how predictable her password was- her middle name. I scrolled through her contacts and had Rajesh's number permanently blocked and deleted. I blocked him on her social media accou

"I don't even know what to say sis." Marv was bewildered.I laughed. "I knew you'd be shocked.""Is he bipolar or something? Because I do not understand these switches." She said."I'm as confused as you are, girl." "Anywho, how's my goddaughter doing?" She grinned."Who says I'm having a girl?" I chuckled."I read somewhere that when you hit it once and you get pregnant it's a boy. But it you hit it frequently, you'll have a girl." She was actually serious.To say I was shocked was an understatement. Where the hell did people get these theories from."It takes one to get pregnant so what the hell are you talking about?" I rhetorically asked."You know exactly what I mean." She wiggled her brows."Don't be ridiculous Marv." I shook my head just before I reached into my bag for my phone that had been buzzing non-stop. "Hey Zach," I said as soon as I picked up."Where are you?" He asked. No ' Hey, how are you?' Okay... That was unexpected."I'm at Marv's. Are you home already?" I asked

"Why are you so quiet?" He asked me at dinner that night."Oh uhm, nothing.""How was your day?" "It was good." I said playing around with the food on my plate."We're going over to my parent's house for dinner tomorrow." He announced."Oh." I took a sip of water. "Is there a specific reason why?""It's their anniversary." "Wow, I actually didn't know that." I said thoughtfully.He hummed, "Mom says you two have been drifting apart." I shut my eyes. I had been waiting for this query. "I haven't been in town, you of all people should know that.""But since you came back you two haven't spoken to each other." He said."I'm not sure I want to go anywhere." I wasn't in the right state of mind to dress fancy and smile over a three course meal. "Why?" He asked."I need bed rest remember?" I gave him an excuse and he saw through it."That's an excuse. What's wrong with you?" He probed."Nothing.""There's obviously something up with you and I need to know what it is, Hannah." He insisted.

"Why did you threaten her?!" I growled into my phone."It was simply a piece of advice." His mockingly calm tone irked me to no end."Stay away from my wife. I don't need any more drama in my life right now, Hex." I warned him.He let out a dark chuckle. "Funny how the drama's just about to begin.""What the fuck do you want?!" I yelled."Oh nothing. Just revenge," he hummed. "An eye for an eye." He ominously completed. I shut my eyes, "Hex leave Hannah out of this, please." I couldn't believe I was pleading with this asshole."I'll do whatever I want." The line went dead after that.I paced my home office in panic. "What do I do?" I groaned in frustration. I would lose it if anything happened to Hannah because of me. I would go crazy.I called for more security around the house. I needed a personal bodyguard for her and I had to be around more often. I couldn't take any chances. It was way past midnight, Hannah was fast asleep but I couldn't get any shut eye.I reached over and adju

Weeks, it had been four long weeks since the attack.I felt trapped like a prisoner. Zach wouldn't let me go anywhere without a bodyguard ever since the night of his parents' anniversary. Of course he wouldn't tell me why he was being so protective but I had to align to his will to avoid the drama. The house had become heavily guarded. Guests had to be thoroughly searched and scanned before being let into the premises. Even Marv couldn't visit at my will until Zach permitted. He was being ridiculous by saying that everyone was a suspect.I unwrapped my arms from around me and turned away from the window to stare at him, engrossed in whatever he was doing on his phone."Can I talk to you about something?" He looked up at me for a second. "Sure.""How long is this going to continue?"He frowned. "What are you talking about?""For how long are you going to keep hiding from me what I need to know about you?" I asked him."There's nothing to worry about.""So why was there an attack on t

Early that morning I donned a dark pair of shades to go with my dark themed casual ensemble. I tried to look as simple as possible. Hannah was deep in sleep so I carefully left the room just so I wouldn't disturb her."Boss." One of the guards gave me a salute as I got outside the house that foggy morning."I'm driving myself today. Make sure my wife is safe. I'll be back in no time." I told him.The drive was a long one. I couldn't believe I was trailing this path again. But I had to do something - anything to keep the people I care about safe. I took deep breaths after the security checked me into the premises. It was early but luckily I had signaled him that I was going to be visiting. His house gave off just how dark he was, same way I had always known it.I went into the meeting room where we usually discussed. He was seated at the head of the table with his back turned to me. "Welcome Zach. Good to see you after such a long time." His raspy voice spoke. I said nothing in respo

"Hey."I glanced up from my book as his head popped through the door. "Hi," I confusedly glanced at the time. "You're back early." "I need to show you something, come on." He stretched his hand forward. I got off the bed slowly and dragged my feet over to where he was. I was tired from doing nothing."You okay?""I wish I was." I fought a yawn while he gave me a hug."Alright close your eyes." He said."Why?" "Just close them." I shut my eyes but not without giving him a suspicious glance. "Where are we going?" I asked him as I felt him lead us out of the room. "Relax. Don't open your eyes until I tell you to."He led me down the stairs slowly and carefully. "Here we are," he said with a satisfied sigh. I opened my eyes and was pleasantly surprised at the sight of my mother, but not my sister though."I thought you weren't going to get here until tomorrow." I said as I embraced her. "Element of surprise remember?" Zach said over my shoulder. I chuckled."Hi Zara." I said out of

Stuck In Matrimony Epilogue~~Birth Miracle
Months had rolled by and that chilly Sunday morning while basking in the warmth of worship, her water broke. It was about time, she had been waiting long enough even more anxiously cause they wanted to keep the baby's gender a surprise. The last gender reveal didn't end so well anyways. "How are we doing?" The nurse on duty that had come to be her fave asked when she walked in with Zach who had been frantic ever since she told him it was time. "Great! I guess," She shrugged. "You're sure?" "I'm not in a lot of pain so I don't even know if I can say I'm in labour." She chuckled nervously. Hannah had read about how excruciating labour pains were and now she that she wasn't feeling so much, she didn't know how to feel about it/ "I guess you're one of the lucky ones." The doctor piped up. "Blessed is the word doc." She corrected with a smile. "Babe are you sure you're not just enduring the pain." Zach worriedly asked. "I'm sure! I feel little aches here and there but they're not as

"Zach what are you doing here?" Marv asked in shock. He ignored her and rushed towards me, "Babe.""Stand back!" She screamed manically, startling all of us."Don't move any closer or I'll blow her brains out." She pointed the gun straight at my forehead.With his hands raised in surrender, Zach stepped back a few paces. "Marv just let her go. You don't have to do this.""It wouldn't have come to this if you had just done the right thing." She said through gritted teeth, not at all shifting the gun from the targeted spot on my forehead. I gulped."What do you mean?" He asked."Can't you see Zachary? I've loved you for so long and all you've ever done is have eyes for someone else. Anyone but me, I'm sick of it!""And this bitch," she shoved my head with the gun, "She always escapes every death trap I plot for her. I was so mad when I find out you weren't in when I set that apartment on fire,"I gasped. Just how far would this woman go to end me? Lord have mercy."You did what?" Zach

I had been awake, thankful they did not knock me unconscious. I didn't know who my abductor was and I was eager to see if it was whom I thought it was. I waited, tied up in a dimly lit room, somehow not terrified of whatever or whomever it was that was going to walk through that door. "I put my faith in Jesus, he never let me down. Faithful through generations, so why would make he fail now? He won't." I sang lowly, rocking myself as gently as I could on the steely seat. "HE won't fail... He won't." "Impressive voice." I chuckled. "Just as I thought," I said, smiling at her. "Hello Marv." "Hello Hannah." She returned my greeting with a smile splaying on her deep red lips. "So you had to resort to this...?" I looked around the ill-fated room once again finally able to express my irritation not because of the scrawny place but the person who had me locked up in here. She shrugged. "Yes I had to resort to this. You refused to stop getting in the way." Tilting my head, I asked,

"You'll be fine without me yeah?" He asked for the umpteenth time.I gave him a nod. "Yeah."He pulled me into another embrace. "Promise?""I'm fine. Just a little nauseous but I'm fine." I assured him once again."I just hope I can be back early enough so you wouldn't be lonely without me." He said, circling his thumb around my hips as he nuzzled me. "I'm not alone. I have the Holy Spirit." I reminded him."That's my baby.""See you later." I bade, taking a step back but he pulled me back to him. "One last kiss." He whined, when I resisted his embrace."Zach you're going to be late."He seemed apologetic when he said, "I don't wanna leave you.""I don't want you to go either." I admitted. I was craving his company a lot more than usual but this meeting was important, he couldn't miss it for anything. And from the look of things, he was going to be away for the whole day. Board meetings..."But I have to." "I know..." I sighed resignedly. "I love you." I stood on my toes, to give h

"Why do you want me to shut it down?""You haven't been there in months. What's the point of keeping it running when you're not going back there anytime soon?"I narrowed my eyes at him, shocked that someone of his status and caliber would utter such gibberish when it came to business."Oh is that so? Lemme ask you something,"Raising his chin, he gestured for me to go ahead, "I'm all ears." "You have chains of businesses. Are you always there to check on them?""No. That's why I have capable hands who do the job for me.""There's your answer.""Hannah these are just small businesses.""No business started huge Zach. Just say that you don't want me to go to Atlanta because of Simon instead of spewing some nonsense about my businesses." I stated. His reason was way too obvious and there was no need for him to beat about the bush when he could just air his reservations.He sighed in defeat. "Fine. I'm sorry if I came off as condescending or underestimating your business. You've worked

"Wait, you were actually serious about this?" I laughed so hard when he walked with his phone and connected it to the TV he had purposely installed in our room for this reason. "Of course. No man wants to let his seed go to waste just like that." "Zach..." I shook my head, chuckling a bit as I wondered what I had gotten myself into. "Okay. You ready?" He asked when he had finish setting up. I nodded in response, sitting up to properly observe what he had displayed on the screen. "Good evening ma'am," He said with a slight bow. I bit back a laugh as he started his presentation, so serious like this was million-dollar deal he was pitching for. "The first reason I'd like to show you as to why we should have more babies is," He swiped the screen of his phone and I watched as the picture on the TV switched to a different one. "The bible says we should go into the world and multiply, this we can see in the book of Genesis." I opened my mouth to speak, ready to debate his words when he

"What's wrong?" He asked as I woke up with a start. "I had this crazy nightmare." I managed to say after steadying my breathing. "What happened?" "I, I, I don't know how to explain it but this is more than some bad dream and I know it. I think we should pray more now, it seems like there's attack coming for our marriage. That's all I can say." "I got you on that. Should we pray now or...?" I nodded quickly, "Of course, we can't delay." He got out of bed and helped me up as we began to commune. It was fervent and the more we prayed, the more I saw visual examples of the trial that was on the way. It took a lot to not stumble back in trepidation but the realization that our God is bigger kept us strong and steady. It was nearly three in the morning when we came to a pause and as we laid next to each other, I decided to tell Him all I saw while we prayed. "Someone doesn't want us to be together Zach. Someone we both know very closely." "Your mom?" I shook my head. No it's not he

"I met her over a decade ago, in my early twenties. She was beautiful but unfortunately my best friend's younger sister and you know how messy that can get." "Hex didn't approve?" "He didn't. We had to keep things hush-hush until he walked in on us one day. It's safe to say that it was not an easy day. I came out with a fractured nose." She laughed and went on check my nose for any sign of crookedness. "You're not very nice." I said, making her melodious laugh even louder. She managed to stop after a while "Sorry. So what happened after that?"I continued, taking up her feet so I could give them a massage. "Carrie intervened and we made up but like every protective older he still gave me a side eye any time he saw us together." "I can imagine," She snickered. "When she found out about what I did on the side with her brother, she almost left me. Maybe I should have let her, she would have still been alive by now but I loved her so much, I was so selfish and I wanted to ea
