"What is it Ben? What happened to you? What's the problem?" I was concerned about his sudden change of mood.He kept silent instead, casting suspecting glances at me and my belly."Your belly wasn't like this earlier," he observed, staring at my belly intently.I was shocked to hear that. I thought he won't notice the sudden change."Oh really?" I raised my furrowed eyebrows."Yes Roseville. Something must have haven't," he inferred."Something like what?" I wanted to know what he meant by that."I can't say for sure, but something must have definitely happened," his words sent shivers down my spines."Ben, you know I'm pregnant, right?" I directed my gaze to him."Of course I do, but I saw you earlier today and your tummy wasn't this big. It couldn't have grown this much in hours time." he was too quick to point out."So, what are you insinuating? That it was made up? Come on, Ben! The test results are there, you could call the doctor to confirm it as well, if you don't believe me "
It was a happy Saturday morning and the happiest day of my life! The sun rose early, lending credence to the expectation of a beautiful day. I stare through my window, to be greeted by the lovely view of the exterior. Everything gave me a reason to smile and be grateful. I was getting married today, I couldn't help but beam with smiles, as I admired my reflection on the large mirror. I was putting on a sparkling white wedding gown, that fit perfectly, making me look like an angel. Luckily, my burgling tummy wasn't too obvious too. The tailor really did a great job. My makeup also was topnotch, thanks to the makeup artist. We drove quickly to the court, hardly saying a word to each other. The silence wasn't helping, but we just had to keep it, as we were bereft of words to say to each other. We got to the court, not too long after. Our witnesses were already there waiting, while the registrar was yet to come.I stood there in the courtroom, with my would-be husband by my side, waitin
It was morning already, the next day after my wedding. Smiles from the joy of the previous day were still radiant on my face. I was effulgent and so was my day. It was indeed a beautiful day for me.I woke up rather later than usual today and even when I did, it took me hours to get up from bed. I lowered my gaze to my huge tummy, I smiled at it, as I reminisced about how it came about, my thoughts trailing back to my encounter with the doctor."I really need to reward him some more," I said to myself.I then looked around the room, Ben was nowhere to be found. I stood up immediately, in shock of his sudden disappearance and bolted out of the room quickly.I took quick steps down the stairs and got to the living room in no time. I still couldn't find him there. The kitchen was the next place in mind. As I strode towards the kitchen, I whiffed the aroma of sandwich fillings that emanated from the kitchen, spreading gradually into the entire air. It smelt really delicious.My curiosity
It's been barely a month now, since we got married. Ben has been the best husband in the universe, to me. I enjoyed every bit of him. His lovely and caring aura, his sweet words that always makes me feel loved, his support in everything I do, and of course, most importantly, the money he spends on me. Yes, that was the most important for me. I really needed it!To be honest, that was the major reason I came after him. The love was just a bonus. That's the reason I had to go as far as inflating my tummy, in order to be able deceive him that I was pregnant, even after lying to him severally, just to find my ways around him. Luckily for me, he still loved me to a fault and seemed to be obsessed with me. Well, maybe because he didn't know that the whole story was all cooked up. I hope and pray he doesn't get to find out, even in the long run. Our two-week honeymoon was over by last week. It was indeed an enjoyable experience for me, especially because of the love and affection he showered
"Ben, I need to see the doctor today. Can you drop me off at the hospital, please?" I requested, as I noticed he was about to leave. "You need to see the doctor? What's wrong this time?" He seemed to have forgotten about the doctor's instructions."Can't you remember what he said? I have to attend antenatal sessions, you know?" I reminded him."Oh yeah, that's true. So sorry I forgot," he apologized."It's fine. So, would you?" I peered directly into his face."Yeah sure. Why not? Of course you're my baby, so I should," he accepted, as a matter of responsibility."Nice then. Thanks baby," I smiled."It's my pleasure, Rosy," he replied, beaming with smiles."So, I'd just go take a bath, while you wait here, okay?" I asked for his acquiescence."Sure, no problems," he answered. "Okay fine then," I said and led myself upstairs, to the bathroom, slowly.After a few minutes, I came out and got dressed. I was putting on a flayed purple silk dress that fell a little below my knees. It wasn'
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
