Chapter 039

Esther's POV

The house was quiet as I slowly woke up, the soft hum of the morning light filtering through the curtains.

I noticed the other side of the bed was empty and showed no signs of John. My heart skipped to beat as different wild thoughts ran through my head.

The silence of the atmosphere was interrupted by a burst of laughter.

I frowned as I slipped out of bed and followed the sound. The laughter grew louder and mingled with the clinking of dishes.

Pushing open the kitchen door, I met a scene that stung more than a knife to the heart. John and an unknown woman standing at the counter had their movements in perfect harmony as if they had practiced this routine a thousand times.

The woman leaned closer to John, her hands pushing him as they worked together.

I had no idea who that woman was, but I didn't think she was his relative. John, who always seemed so reserved, was laughing at the jokes the woman was cracking. His laughter was so rich and genuine, a sound

    Chapter 040John's POV “John, who really is Jessica to you?” Esther asked. The silence that followed the room was almost defeating. I felt a storm of emotion. I slowly raised my head and my eyes met hers. I saw something in her, I couldn't quite place, perhaps confusion and jealousy. “I'm so sorry you have to experience this,” I said quietly. “Well, to be honest, Jessica and I dated back then in college. She left me for a guy who is rich, leaving me heartbroken and devastated. Since then, I have considered her as just a friend,” I said, looking into her eyes, hoping she could see the sincerity in me. “Look, Esther, there is nothing between us, I promise. I was just trying to help her,” I added. Esther nodded before placing a hand on my cheek, sending shivers down my spine. “I know the man I'm married to. I believe you,” she plastered a cute smile on her face. A wave of relief washed over me. Thankfully, Esther was an understanding person. My mind was crowded with thoughts tryi

    Chapter 001Esther's POV “Wow, a big congratulations to you madam, you are pregnant,” the doctor whispered to me, which made my heart explode. “wait.. What?” I asked as tears of joy streamed down my face. I couldn't believe I was pregnant. I can't believe I was finally going to be a mom. After a year of marriage with Michael, finally we are going to be parents. I place my hand on my stomach, thinking about how much love I would show him when I give birth to him. The doctor told me some things I needed to do for the baby's health, but I was focused on the creation inside of me, which made me not pay attention. I grabbed my phone from the bedside cabinet and dialed Michael's number. I wanted to break the news to him there because I couldn't wait till we met. Michael's phone rang, but there was no response. I let out a sigh, then frowned. Suddenly, a creeping smile appeared on my face when I thought of going to his office and making the announcement specially to him. “Ahhh doctor

    Chapter 002Esther's POV “How could you believe I did this, Michael?” I asked, my voice breaking. “I'm telling you someone is trying to manipulate me. Look closely, this picture is manipulated,” I said, trying to make him understand, although I knew no matter how I tried to convince him he would not believe a single word coming from my mouth because of the clear evidence in my hands. But I won't give up without trying my best. “What the fuck are you talking about, you whore? Are you blind…? Oh I see, you think you can convince me? That's not going to happen” he said, his eyes filled with so much anger. Maya emerged from the bathroom well-dressed like nothing had happened with a victorious smile on her face. “How could you do that to Michael, you know how…” before she could complete her sentence, I took a short step towards her and a resounding slap rang across the office. She quickly placed her hand on her cheek. “Did you just slap me?” she asked in shock. “Next time I'm talkin

    Chapter 003 Esther's POV I collected the papers with my shivering hand, my sight was blurred with tears, my heart tightened when I saw that Michael had already signed. I swallowed my saliva and signed as my tears dripped on the sheets. “Here you go,” I said as I handed over the papers to him. “Now leave!” Mrs Flora ordered, without an atom of sympathy, her finger pointing at the entrance door. I couldn't believe my husband, Michael Joel, the man who vowed to love and protect me, didn't want anything that had to do with me again. I turned and headed outside. I stopped in my tracks when Mrs Flora called my name. I gasped before turning to face her, her teary eyes locked with mine. “I don't want to ever set my eyes on you, OK?” she said. I nodded as a dam of tears cut loose. I wiped my tears as I stood in front of the house and wandered to the mansion which holds a lot of unforgettable memories. I sniffed, took a deep breath and exhaled before getting into my car and

    Chapter 004Michael's POV I knew I had been cheating on Esther with her best friend, but I couldn't believe her cheating on me. All men cheat! The world knows, but as a woman, it's wrong to cheat on your husband. Why would Esther do this to me? So, all this while she pretended to be a Saint. I can't believe I've been sharing my wife with someone. Sometimes I stare at Esther at night while she is asleep, wondering how she would feel when she finds out that I'm sleeping with her best friend. I thought I was the one cheating. Not knowing she was cheating on me too. Why Esther? Why? I was highly disappointed and heartbroken. I heard my phone ring, which brought me back from the train of thought. “Ahh,” I groaned as I gritted my teeth. I glanced at the screen and a number appeared. “Who is this?” I murmured as I bit my lower lips and answered the call. “Good afternoon sir,” I heard a strange voice. “Afternoon, who is this please,” I asked with much concern.“We are calling th

    Chapter 005Esther's POV I watched as blood rushed out of my stomach. I felt dizzy all of a sudden. The next thing I heard was, “Help, she is bleeding!” an old man entered and placed his hands on my stomach. Before I could alter a word. I heard the sound of a commotion outside the ward and a group of nurses frantically rushed in. I couldn't comprehend what was going on. For a moment, I felt the breeze. My heart turns to ice. I could feel the nurses stitching my stomach. I snapped out of my gaze when one of the nurses said to her colleague;“She is safe, it is not a deep cut.” That is the last thing I registered before I closed my eyes, my heart in my mouth. I could hear their footsteps going outside the ward. Why did they save me? Why did they stop me from going to my son? My soul would have been with my son by now. “fuck!” I groaned, frantic with anger. An old man entered the ward as he came to sit beside me. I recognized him. He was the one that saved me.

    Chapter 006Michael's POV “Is my mom still alive or dead?” I managed to ask as multiple thoughts crossed my mind. “She is alive. Fortunately, someone donated her blood to your mom and your mom is safe now,” the doctor said. I wiped off the sweats that rolled down my forehead as a wave of relief washed over me. “Can I see her please?” I asked the doctor anxiously. “Sure you can,” he said as he called a nurse to direct me to the ward. My heart skipped a beat when I saw my mom lying in the blue patient gown. I quickly rushed and pulled her into a bear hug and I almost burst into tears as her familiar peach scent filled my nostrils.I couldn't imagine life without my mother. I was not too close to my dad like I was with my mom, but when he died, I almost collapsed from a heart attack. “Mom, how are you holding up?” I asked softly. My heart was beating faster. She forced a smile on her face. It was written all over her face that she was in pain, but she tried to be strong. “I'm al

I shook my head. “Mom, it can't be alright. My best friend snatched my husband, the woman I trust wholeheartedly,” I said in my hoarse voice. “I'm here for you, and I promise they will regret what they have done,” she said with an assuring voice. “No. No mom, it's not their fault, it's mine. I trusted both of them,” I said, my voice filled with anger and frustration. “I was involved in a car accident and I lost my unborn child and my womb. I can't give birth again,” I added as tears streamed down my face. I closed my eyes, feeling the truth sink into the living room like a heavy stone. My words hit my mother like a freight train.

  • The billionaire's love    Confirmation

    Chapter 038Esther's POV John helped me get seated in the car as I was still in shock about my pregnancy. It felt like a dream. I had been trying to puzzle out what was happening to me. Is it that the doctor who attended to me during my accident wasn't professional, or I was really not pregnant? It's just some misunderstanding. I turned and looked at John who was seated beside me, buried in thought. The silence in the atmosphere was too thick to cut with a knife.‘Do you love me?’ These words echoed in my ears like a thunderstorm. I wasn't sure if I could answer that question so far, since after our marriage John had been considerate to me in every way. I thought these three words “I love you” were not that important and our marriage was still happy without them. I gently place my hand on my belly, emotionally feeling my child inside of me. I wasn't really sure if I was pregnant or not, but, yes! It felt real. All of a sudden, the car came to a halt, bringing me back to life. As

I walked towards her, wearing a smile on my face. “Hey, little doll,” I whispered. She stretched her hand to hold mine, demanding that I sit close to her. “Hey John, welcome back. How did it go?” she asked. “Ah… It was superb, a company was demanding collaboration with us, that's all,” I said. “Uhm… Actually, I'm still in the dark about what you said earlier, regarding your pregnancy,” I added, trying to bring back the conversation. She rolled her eyes before letting out a heavy sigh which made my heart sink. My gaze fixed on her lips impatiently waiting for her to explain. She adjusted a bit before clearing her throat. “It has been years since I divorced my husband, but the memory still remains fresh every fucking day, as if it just happened yesterday. The day I divorced my husband, I was involved in a car accident, and I was a few weeks pregnant…”

I thought she wanted to get pregnant and get rid of me.I took a few steps forward and stood in front of her. “Look, whatever it is in your mind, you need to calm down OK?” I consoled her. “I'm fucking confused, it's just…” she whispered, searching for the right word to say. “It's fine, you need to rest,” I said as I embraced her with a warm hug. I walked her back to her bed. The doctor and nurses stared at us in shock. I felt embarrassed by Esther's actions. I felt like disappearing from the hospital, but no, I couldn't do that. Esther is my wife and I have to be there for her. I needed to calm her down. “Uhm ... . Please can I be alone with my wife?” I asked. “Yeah, sure,” the doctor said before they trooped out of the ward. I followed behind them and shut the door after they went out. I let out a heavy sigh three consecutive times to keep my heart i

John's naked body was laid beside me. I looked down and that was when I realised I was also naked. my eyes popped out as I was trying to remember what happened last night. I knew I arrived home and met John in the entrance, that was all I could register. “fuck,” I groaned. I shook my head, anyways he was my husband and there was no harm in that. I used the sheet to cover John's body before walking to the bathroom. I took a shower, the warm water washing away the pain that was behold in my body. After bathing I wore a gown and my flip-flops. Heading downstairs to prepare breakfast as it was the weekend and that was the maids' off day.I stood in the kitchen for a while wandering around trying to figure out the fastest food to cook. I needed to prepare the food before John gets down. Food was one of th

It was hard to outsmart John. I told him I wanted to visit a friend of mine in the hospital, and luckily he agreed without suspecting anything. I told him I wanted to go alone and, without a protest, he agreed. I arrived at the hospital about 30 minutes ago, and I was already waiting for the doctor who was busy with patients. Just then, the door cracked open, and the doctor came in.“Heyyy, Esther, how are you?” he asked, plastering a smile on his face. I cleared my throat as my heart kept pounding. “I'm fine Doc, thanks. I came about my inability to give birth… Is there anything you could do… Maybe surgery or something?” I asked, my gaze fixed on his lips. He leaned back in his chair and let out a heavy sigh. His expression already told me what I needed to know. I know there was no way out. I just can't

I told her to call or text me when she was done with the office, but she didn't. I dug out my phone from my pocket, angry and frustrated, I dialed her number. It rang but there was no response. My heart skipped a beat as multiple thoughts crossed my mind. I raked my hands through my hair trying to brush it off. I dialed her number again and luckily she picked up. “Hello, aren't you done with work? You should have told me you would be late,” I asked, worried. “I'm at mom's house,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. What! She wasn't even in the office. I gritted my teeth as a mix of anger and frustration pressed down on me. Why didn't she tell me? If she knew how worried I was at that moment she wouldn't dare to shift an inch without telling me.“What the fuck. Why didn't you tell me? I'll come and pick you up now,” I restored. I

As I was about to carry my handbag that was between us, I felt John's eyes on me, which made my heart skip two beats. Yes! My instincts were right, he would definitely look at me. I raised my head and my gaze fixed on his face. “Wow! You look beautiful, little doll,” he said, his voice soft and soothing.
