Chapter 28

Esther's POV

I hadn't seen him in years and the sight of him brought back lots of emotions. He must have been invited to the occasion.

Who was beside him caught my attention. It was Maya standing next to him. The same woman he left me for. The same woman that ruined my life. The same woman I once called my best friend, and beside them was a little boy, who looked around five to six years old.

I knew it, I knew Maya must have given birth to a child for Michael. My heart clenched as I stared at the little handsome boy. It could have been my son standing beside his dad, and me in place of Maya.

I went straight to them as I felt an overwhelming urge to connect with the little boy. I looked at Maya, and she quickly lowered her gaze as it was written all over her that she was guilty. Conscience of her past actions.

I rolled my eyes before squatting on the little boy's level, to talk to him.

“Hey, what's your name?” I asked as I plastered a smile on my face.

Esther was already married to one of the most influential CEOs. “shit!” I groaned, gritting my teeth. I took hold of the vodka bottle I bought in the bar opposite the hotel, and poured a short into my glass, the strong scent wafting from my mouth, as I could perceive it.A gasp escaped from my mouth as I continued to consume one shot after another until a pounding stomach ache set in, I guess as a consequence of my over drinking. I struggled to focus on the surrounding clarity, but it offered little relief.“Esther, you have ruined my life. I just… Don't know what to say,” I spat, as if she was standing in front of me. The image of Esther's beautiful face pictured back in my mind. Damn it! Esther was called onto the stage, an opportunity that many CEOs and businessmen are looking for. “fuck!” I screamed, before shattering the vodka glass on

She was just… one in a million. That was the first time I tasted her food, and it was…. Lit. It was our first trip overseas together, and in commemoration of that, I suggested to Esther that we have an indoor dinner - just the two of us, and to my greatest surprise she agreed without protesting and that was a gesture I considered very lovely. I chose to sit across from her because I wanted to see and explore all her beauty more.I could see that Esther was already getting over all the burden, and she had started getting familiar with me. “Do you enjoy the meal?” Esther asked, interrupting my train of thought. I cleared my throat first. “This is the best food I have eaten since this year began. I'm awed by your culinary skills. You are really a great chef,” I complimented, p

I was drenched in cold sweat and the blankets were wrapped around my body.“shit, fucking bitch. fuck it,” I groaned, biting my lower lips before raking my hand through my hair. It was a terrible nightmare again. It has been almost two weeks since we returned from Dubai and I often see Maya in my dreams. She kept hunting me over and over again, trying to strangle me to death. It worsened to the extent that I had to find comfort in valium to cure insomnia.I gently swung the blanket off my body before jumping off the bed. I walked to the toilet and brushed my teeth.I headed downstairs, John was already dressed for work and he was having his breakfast. “Good morning, John,” I greeted him. “Morning,” he said. I could feel his gaze fixed on me. “Another nightmare?” he asked. My dark circles ratted me out for the umpteenth time. “ahh…. Ah…”“I heard you scream,” he cut me off, before I even thought of

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. Hearing those words alone, my nipples began to harden, I was just so consumed with John's handsome face that I didn't even thank him for the compliment. His strong jawline, the distinctive shape of his face, and his commanding presence pulled me in.Despite my heartache and turmoil, I felt I still had a room for love.As he put a smile on his face, my breath caught, the horns and sound of vehicles passing by faded into the background.

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

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.

    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

I stretched and yawned as I felt the weight of the journey, the great time I spent with John, and everything pressed down on me. It was the occasional day. John was already dressed, so I quickly took my bath and got dressed. After having my breakfast, we went out as the chauffeur was already waiting for us. We shoved in and drove away. We arrived right on time. I dressed in a sophisticated blue ensemble that screamed luxury and poise, matching John's blue suit. I stepped out of the sleek black car and onto the scorching asphalt with the sun beating down on me, nonstop. John came and held my arms as the chauffeur swiftly appeared by our side holding a blue umbrella above our heads, shielding us from the harsh rays. While we walked majestically like true couples towards the event hall, I noticed the diverse crowd gathered around us

If I am not going, you also have to stay with me,” I cut her off as I continued scrolling through my phone. Esther stood up from the dining room and came to sit next to me. I knew she would try to convince me to let her go, but I wouldn't. She was my wife. I can't allow her to travel to another country alone. If something happens to her, I won't forgive myself. I sensed something strange about her. I knew it wasn't a wedding, it must be something else. She must be planning something. Something very important must be the cause of the trip. “Look, John, please I really need to go alone,” she said, placing a hand on my chest. I shoved her hand immediately. “Look, you should tell me what you are going to do in Dubai. I'm your husband. At least let me know, I know it is not a wedding,” I said.
