last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

I was heavily pregnant for my child. My delivery time approached quickly. All I could do was watch and wait for the arrival of my little angel.

Ben and I have long ago decided on what to name our child. If it were a boy, he would be named Benjamin and if a girl, she will be Mia, we decided.

Ben also bought baby items and clothings for both genders alike, some months ago, per adventure it turns out to be either of them. I was happy and played along, although I felt somewhat guilty too.

At first, we hadn't any foreknowledge as to the gender of our unborn 'child,' because the doctor advised that it wasn't easily fathomable at the early stages. He obviously said so in a bid to align to the plan. He was so tactical. I loved what he was doing.

After we faked the ultrasound results, the doctor thrust it to Ben and said,

"Here is the result. We're expecting a baby boy soon!" The doctor spread the good tidings.

"Yes! I knew it! I knew it would be a male child!" He threw his clenched fists in

    "The deal is done now and luckily, we came out uncaught. We're just being so lucky!" The doctor said happily, when I surreptitiously visited, without the knowledge of Ben."Yes doctor. I have to fulfill my promise. It was indeed a job well done. I'm so happy. Thank you so much, doctor," I appreciated."How about the remaining pay? When will you get to pay it?" He asked the all important question."I'd get it from Ben today, when I get home. I'd give it to you tomorrow unfailingly, please," I replied."So, what were you going to tell him about the money? How would you have him give you the money?" The doctor was suddenly concerned."I'd think about that later. When I reach that bridge, I'll definitely cross it!" I said, tactfully."Well, if you say so," he shrugged.It was just the both of us in the office, so we spoke unrestrained. We didn't bother if anyone eavesdropped into our conversation. I had earlier told Ben that I was going to see my best friend, so I had nothing much to worry

    I was shocked to the marrow, at the sight of my husband. My heart skipped a beat. My eyes popped, as I quivered greatly, sending my jaws dropping down unrestrained. I was totally speechless, as I couldn't just believe my eyes. I had no idea he followed me up to this place. I wondered how long he had been here."Oh wow! This is the Stephanie's place you said you were heading to, huh?" He smirked, with a questioning look on his face.I kept mum and moved my eyes away from his gaze, down to the ground, while I led my hand behind my neck, caressing it softly. I glued my eyes to the floor, uneasy under his looks as I thought of what would happen next."I'm talking to you, Roseville! Have you suddenly gone dumb? What's wrong with you?" He got raged, hardly able to control his anger.His hoarse voice sent shivers down my spines. I trembled, in great fear."I…I…I just…" I stuttered, unsure of what to say."You just did what? Is this Stephanie's house? You tell me!" He yelled angrily at me."N

    Bernard's POVEver since after our honeymoon, Roseville had always loved seeing the doctor. I sensed foul play somewhere, but I really didn't want to make anything out of it.What particularly stunned me, was how alluring Rosy looked, each time she goes to see the doctor. Also, she didn't want me to be around her, while she went to see the doctor. Two things were probable here. It was either she cheated on me, or she had other plans, secret ones I mean, with the doctor. My curiosity took the better part of me, so I decided to find out things by myself. When the doctor told me that we lost our baby, I couldn't really make out why it was that we did. For all I know and care, the child grew healthily, up to the delivery time. If there was anything that should have happened to the child, it should be due to ineptitude by the doctor, I thought.I was in great pain. All my hopes were lost and my heart was shattered into many pieces, when I heard the doctor say, "We lost him!"I could har

    "Tell me everything that transpired between you and the doctor! Don't lie to me!" I directed my angry gaze at Roseville, as soon as I entered the room.She was caught unawares. Her heart pounded furiously in her chest, as she turned to meet with my gaze."I… I just went to see the doctor," she replied, innocently."Liar! You think I don't know about all your secret plans with the doctor?" I hurled, in fierce anger.Roseville stood still, in awe of what I just said. She quivered in great fear, as my words sank deep into her ears. She looked anywhere but my dreary face."Don't you ever lie to me! Were you ever pregnant?" I resumed, peering deep into her eyes."I…I didn't. It was…It was…" she stuttered, shivering vigorously."It was what? What was it, you fucking fool?" I gritted my teeth in anger, cutting her off."It was the doctor's idea," she spelt out."The doctor's idea? You're such a liar!" I fired back at her, landing a resounding slap across her cheeks.She held onto her red hot

    I woke up suddenly, in the middle of the night, breathing heavily, as beads of sweat gathered on my weary face. My whole body palpated greatly in disbelief. My eyes blinked, as I peered from side to side of the dimly lit room, in a bid to distinguish between wonderworld and reality. I just had a nightmare, a terrible one at that! It all seemed real, especially because of the darkness in the room. I immediately jerked out of bed, as though being pursued by an angry wild beast, or perhaps a mythical creature. Hardly seeing where I was heading to, I coggled with my wobbly legs, to turn on the light. I retraced a few steps back to bed, my heart still pounding vigorously in my chest. I took a few deep breaths and sat down on the bed, hoping not to wake Roseville up.As I was about to lay back and sleep, Rosevile tilted her head slowly toward my direction and opened her almond eyes widely and took a long stare at me."What's wrong Ben? Why are you awake? Why did you switch on the light?"

    I was woken up at exactly 7am by the ringing of my phone. Snapping out of my unrestful sleep, I got up, looking around to find Roseville, but surprisingly, I couldn't find her. I picked up my phone to see who it was that disturbed my sleep. It was mum that called.I wondered what prompted the early morning call from mum. So many thoughts raced through my distressed mind.'What could have happened to her? Hope everything is alright? Hope it wasn't related to the nightmare?' I was too curious to know what caused the call. I picked up the call just immediately before it ran off."Hello mum!" I mumbled tiredly, as I picked up the call."Hi Ben! Good morning," her gentle voice sounded wearily."What's wrong, mum? Why calling so early this morning? Are you okay?" I was a bit worried."I'm not fine, dear. Something just happened," she replied, whimpering amidst her words."What happened, mum? Please tell me about it?" I didn't like the suspense."It's about your dad," she said, slowly.She

    When I was done with my bathing, I stepped out of the bathroom, to be met by Roseville's gazing eyes. I shut her a dagger glare, as my eyes caught sight of hers. I hated the sight of it. I hated it that I didn't at least think twice before making her mine. It's really disheartening all the pain and anguish she had made me pass through these few years we've known each other. I really regret ever meeting her in the first place. She isn't really worth it. I just don't want to say it to her face. I'm so surprised how I've been able to put up with all of those, all this while. It seems I've been so loving and lenient with her."Why give me that stare, Ben? Are you still angry with me?" She jested, perhaps in a bid to get me angrier.I ignored and went towards the wardrobe. She cast baleful looks at me. I didn't utter a word."And why aren't you saying anything? Please, talk to me, Ben!" she felt dejected.I focused on what I was doing and didn't give heed to her words, I wasn't ready to a

    I walked into the compound, to be greeted by serenity and calmness in the air. The environs were filled with an aura of gloom and dark bleakness. An inauspicious mystique pervaded the entire air. One could tell that something ominous must have taken place earlier, as everyone looked so somber. I peered searchingly, from face to face, until I rested my eyes on the only familiar face I could find.“Mum!” I called out to her, as soon as I noticed her presence.She moved her gaze around, until they met mine. She gasped. Her eyes were red and swollen, her facial expression, dolorous. She didn't utter a word. I didn't need to be told that she had cried herself out. I walked closer towards where she was seated and sat close to her. I took a deep breath, seizing the opportunity to take a clearer view of the people present. Another face struck me… It was that of that bloody motherfucker! The fucking doctor that claimed to be dad's friend!Why is this nuisance always recurring like a recurring

    Welcoming my first child brought me more joy than I expected. I beamed with smiles as I cuddle him dearly in my arms and reminisce about my past and how serendipity smiled at me. Bernard was now a happy father. I'm so glad and thankful for bringing my child into this world. He was my joy giver and now my joy was complete. The living room was flooded with family and friends, who came around to send greetings and gifts to the new baby. Becky came along with Davis, smiling at each other all the time. I suspected something going on between the two of them, but confirmed my thoughts when I spotted the diamond engagement ring in her finger. “You're engaged?” My popped, as I stared at the beautiful ring in her middle finger. “Of course, I am,” she returned the smile, flaunting her ringed finger in the air. “Wow! Congratulations to you!” I cheered. “Thank you. You too, Alice! You're now a mother,” she replied heartily. “Where’s your fiancé?” I asked, to be sure I wasn't mistaken

    The early morning sun rose steadily, shedding its beams across to my weary eyes. I gently opened them up and stretched lazily, yawning tiredly while I turned my head to my side. Bernard wasn't there. 'But where could he be?’ My heart missed a beat. My head spinned and I felt heavy blocks pushing their weight against it. I cleared the sleep off my eyes and stared around the room, expecting I would find him somewhere close by, but I didn't. I became worried. “Ben!” I called out his name but there was still no response. I stood up anxiously and headed into the bathroom to check if perhaps he'd be there, but I still didn't find him. My heart pounded hard in my chest. ‘Where could he be now? What the hell is going on?’ The fear of being abandoned seized me. I stepped out of the room hastily, as though chased by a monster and went to the next room, his study, to search for him. The study was empty and dumb. “Bernard!” My throaty voice pierce into thin air. “Where are you?”

    Alice's POV Everything seemed to be happening so fast, but at least so perfectly. I wouldn't have believed it if I was told that I'd get married soon, and to Charles as I previously envisioned, but to my boss. That was the very best day of my life, when we stood there, radiantly breathtaking on the altar and exchanged marital vows. Walking down the aisle with Bernard was the best decision I have ever made and there is no going back. Here I am in our private hotel suite, designed for just the two of us, in the cuddle of his arms, while I reminisce about the activities of yesterday. From the church wedding, to the reception party and then to this very bed we slept, last night, it all replayed in my head. We went wild last night. Our clothes were still sprawled across the floor. I could remember almost vividly how he threw me to the bed and undressed me hungrily, like a prey he was ready to devour. He did so many other things to me, so many that I can't even remember. The only on

    A month later, The church hall was tastefully decorated to suit the event of the day. Numerous guests from different walks of life sprawled over the place in their festive attires, wearing cheerful faces. The orchestra serenaded the congregation with soft melodious tones from their instruments. Cheerful indistinct chatters were heard around the hall, all set for the arrival of the bride. I waited patiently at the altar, in my custom made black suit and matching trousers, together with Davis, my best man, who was dressed similarly. I beamed with smiles, in anticipation of the bride. The clergyman also stood at the altar, ready to execute the ritual of exchange of marital vows between me and the love of my life. As if propelled by some telepathic instigation, Alice showed up as expected, with a bouquet of white roses in her hand. She was putting on a sparkling white satin dress that was tailored perfect to fit her figure and accentuate her curves. Her skin glowed brightly, as she w

    Two weeks later. "This has to be perfect for Alice. Are you sure I'm doing it all right?" I asked Davis, pacing around with the ring box with me. He shook his head in approval. "You're going to do just fine Ben, don't bother about it." Davis assured me and I heaved a sigh. “The truth is, I plan on proposing to Alice tonight, I really hope she says yes. I mean she can't possibly say no? Right? We've been together for a couple of months now and Alice has been the best thing that ever happened to me. I love her to bits, and she loves me too, and I think this is the big next, final step for us.” "Hey! Man up! She's here already." Davis said to me and I felt my heart skip a beat. "Do not mess this up, dude!" Davis warned and I nodded sheepishly, nervousness taking over my system immediately. I watched from the corner, as my dear Alice smiled in happiness, in respect of the surprise party thrown in her honour, she radiated in happiness. I'm enthralled with her beauty. There

    Bernard's POV Would I say I was nervous? Or was it just a regular tingling feeling one has when on a date with a woman one has formerly known? Whatever the case may be, that was exactly how I felt right now. She sat graciously opposite me, beaming with enticing smiles that I couldn't resist. I tried smiling back, but each time I did, I ended up blushing openly. It was a dinner date in my personal suite in the hotel. She was putting on a short red sexy dress, with a lowered neckline, exposing a little of her cleavage and high stiletto heels, that she would easily pass for a lady of the night in. Her red tinted lips and mascara that made her eyelashes more prominent further attested to that. Her skin glowed brightly, even in the dimly lit lounge. We had barely started to enjoy each other's company, when the waiter arrived with the menu. “What would you like us to have for dinner?” I asked her, in anticipation. “Cheese sandwich with some grilled chicken,” she answered. I smiled wi

    “Charles!” I yelled on top of my lungs, exasperated at the activity going on in my very presence.Charles was making out with another woman, who moaned so loudly and irritatingly, feeling the entire room with their sounds. Their ripped off clothes sprawled across the floor, giving more details to what was going on.“So, you could do this to me?” I shook my head slowly in regret.Hot tears welled in my eyes while I stared disdainfully at him. My expression saddened at the bitter taste of a painful betrayal. Charles didn't utter a word. He only ignored me and continued with what he was doing, in my presence.“Can you be so shameless? This is all you could think of, huh?” I flared up angrily, watching as the two lovers made love in my presence.Only then did he pause and glare at me, still clutching onto the woman beneath him.“Look Alice, I'm having a great time right now. I'm tired of you. So tired that you've become an obligation to me. I'd appreciate it if you leave,” His words shat

    Alice's POVResigning from work wasn't as easy as it sounded. I've always threatened my boss about resigning from his company, to get a job elsewhere, but I never meant it. Who could have sorted my unending bills, if I had had meant it in the real sense? Did he think I was willing to leave so soon?As I heard about his release, after serving his one month jail terms, I assumed it was a perfect opportunity to follow my heart, and not my head. The wrapped paper in the light brown sealed envelope was already seated on his desk, awaiting his approval. I also noticed that I wasn't the only one following this course, others did too. I smiled satisfactorily, thinking about how our boss was going to react. I was unaware that Mr Bernard had other plans until I found him in my office, kneeling down to plead with me to forgive him. That moment was one of the very best since I stepped into his company. I suspected something fishy, but I decided not to show it, granted that he was remorseful.“I

    I walked briskly along the hallway and incidentally found Alice coming towards my direction. The devastation on my face transformed suddenly to a smile, as my eyes met hers. She seemed to have just walked out of her office. She stopped in her tracks as soon as she noticed I was coming. “You need to sign a document urgently,” Alice said, looking at me with a straight face. I stared at her intently as though finding it difficult to fathom the meaning of the message. My mind wasn't really interested in what she said, but her. “What document are you talking about?” I asked for clarity, as though I had an idea what she was talking about. “The Simpsons, they asked for your approval on an upcoming project,” she replied, leading the way back to her office. I followed her from behind, secretly admiring her well-rounded ass as she walked. A playful smirk played on my lips. We got into her office and she handed me the papers, still standing close to her desk. I sat down next to her an
