David's cars were already waiting for him so immediately he and his wife got down from the jet they rushed to them collecting their luggage. They went straight to the car with Stella admiring the place on their way home. "David this place is really beautiful. Everywhere seems cool I'm already loving it here."Stella said happily. David drew closer to her holding her by the waist and whispered into her ears in a seductive tone."Darling I think is time to call me a sweet name since we're officially married." He said kissing her neck making Stella blush. "Alright Hun." Stella said shyly making David get the chance to tease her. "U-huh, I think someone is now feeling shy. After this night you'll no longer be shy of me Babe I promise you this." He said making Stella blush more. They arrived at their destination and went inside the room.

David entered the room with his mouth open admiring the goddess standing right in front of him. He felt blessed to have her in his life at the moment forgetting his reasons for marrying her. He drew closer to her. " You look incredibly gorgeous tonight. I can't believe I'm standing in front of a beauty goddess this evening." He compliments her after coming out of his trance. Stella roams her hands on his chest admiring him and later frowned with a questioning look. "David King, did you go downstairs dressed like this." She asked feeling jealous already. David sensing the jealousy in her voice decided to tease her. "Sure Princess is there any problem?" He questioned her knowing what the answer is. " Alright what if I also go out just to take fresh air."She said and attempted to leave only for David to hold her back with a stern look. "You won't try that. How can I allow those people to see what belongs to only me. Fine I was just outside the door. I wanted to give you space and time to
"Huh... how can you say you want six to seven kids. They're too many David." She said after some time. "Don't worry I have everything including money and what is there that I can't handle. Don't worry non of them will lack anything, take my promise to heart." David replied truthfully. When was just looking at him short of words to say. "We can continue from where we stopped yesterday but I can't be selfish afterall my baby is tired. Come on let's go and take a bath." He said but still held him back. " My legs are paining me can you carry me please." She said making a cute face which David couldn't resist. "As if I have any other choice. After all that's what I wanted to do at the first place." David replied and carried her in a bridal style to the bathroom and quickly prepared the jacuzzi before undressing and carried Stella before stepping into the tub. He placed her on his laps enjoying everything. Stella felt relieved immediately the warm water touched her skin. "How do you feel now
The next day Stella woke up very early so she could help the maids in preparing breakfast. The maids first rejected her offer telling her that she was their boss's wife so it is their duty to serve her and not allow her into the kitchen. She saw that they were all scared of her because of her husband. "If is about my husband don't worry I won't make trouble for you guys and I promise to talk to him in case he gets angry, don't worry." She said but they were still not convinced as they didn't want their boss to throw a huge tantrum when he sees his pretty and adorable wife in the kitchen. It took a lot of pleadings before she was allowed to assist them prepare breakfast. But she wasn't ordered around like the others and it was like they're the ones doing the cooking and she's just there to supervise them. "What the hell is going on here!" David shouted angrily.David woke up expecting to see his beautiful wife beside him but surprisingly he couldn't find her on the bed. He went to the
Stella was just standing there trying to process everything her husband said to her. After a long silence she decided to talk out her mind. "So much for trying to be a good wife by helping prepare my husband's meal. I get my place in this house. Don't worry I understand this won't happen again, afterall this is your house not mine." She said the last part under her breath but David heard her and he knew at once that she was upset with him. Before he could say jack she has already taken the lead at the verge of crying and he knew at once that he messed up big time. "Grandma Florence please anytime she wants to help make my dish allow her to do it but make sure that she doesn't get hurt please." David said after seeing the hurt in his wife's eyes. "Yes son, I think you should go and see her before she cries her eyes out and apologize to her." Grandma Florence said to him and he did as she said. He went to the room and saw his baby girl crying, he felt heartbroken seeing her in that sta
Its been a month since they returned from their honeymoon and the couple resumed their work. Everything was going on well with them until one day David went to work and found a letter on his desk with an unknown sender accusing him of being a coward and watching the daughter of his parents murder go scot free. At first he wanted to believe that it was Charles doing to see if was still planning on taking revenge for his parents death but on a second thought realized that he's not the one moreover that's not his handwriting. He felt so frustrated that he didn't know what to do so he decided to go home and rest first since Stella will be at work by then. He went home still thinking about it somehow he can't bring himself to think about hurting Stella let alone saying hurtful words to her. "Oh gosh, what's all this. What do I do now, she looks too innocent for this." He said will pacing up and down while downstairs. "What is wrong hun?" Stella who happened to see everything going while des
Its been two months and David has been giving Stella cold shoulders. Stella on the other hand has been feeling sick for a while now so she hasn't been going to work which David noticed but pretended not to care. He sometimes go to her company to supervise them but not without giving them a warning not to discuss it with Stella if not he'll make sure the person gets sacked and not get any job to do in the country. Because they all know who he is, they decided to keep it a secret even Stella's secretary couldn't tell her.On this faithful, Stella decided to go to the hospital since she keeps on getting weak and losing her appetite completely. " Welcome Mrs. King. Per what you told me on the phone, we'll have to conduct a lab test on you to clarify my doubt maybe is not what I think it is. Please follow me." The doctor led her to the lab and a blood test was conducted on her. She was told to wait for some few minutes to receive the result. "Mrs. King the doctor want to see you." The nurse
Charles' expression turned sympathetic as he looked at Stella. "I know it's hard, Stella. But you can't give up. You need to keep trying, keep reaching out. He's still in there, I'm sure of it."Stella nodded, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "You think so, Charles? You think he can still change?"Charles smiled reassuringly. "I'm positive, Stella. David just needs a little guidance, and I'm happy to help."From that day on, Charles made a conscious effort to be the nicest person ever in their marriage. He'd often visit David and Stella, bringing small gifts and offering words of encouragement. He'd listen attentively to their struggles, nodding sympathetically, and offering sage advice.David, still withdrawn, began to open up to Charles, seeing him as a brother and a friend. Charles would share stories of his own struggles, making sure to emphasize the importance of communication and empathy in relationships. Little did David know that all Charles stories are just fabricated. David, s
As they pulled into their driveway, David and Stella were greeted by the familiar sights and sounds of home. Their holiday had been a much-needed escape, but now it was time to face reality again. David, still smarting from the constant attention Stella received during their outing, was eager to get back to his usual routine. Stella, on the other hand, was feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, her confidence still soaring from the praise she received.The car ride home had been quiet, David lost in thought as Stella chatted about their holiday. She was still basking in the glow of their time away, while David was already thinking about work and the deals he needed to close. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy whenever Stella laughed or smiled, her happiness a reminder of the attention she received from others.As they stepped out of the car, Charles was waiting, a big smile on his face. "Welcome back, you two! How was your holiday?"Stella launched into an enthusiastic recount
As they stepped out for their outing, David expected to be the center of attention, basking in the admiration of others. But to his surprise, Stella stole the show, receiving compliment after compliment from passersby. David's smile began to falter, his eyes narrowing with each praise directed at his wife.Stella, on the other hand, reveled in the attention, her confidence soaring with each flattering remark. She couldn't help but notice David's growing unease, his jealousy palpable as he struggled to keep up with the admiration she received. Some men went on complimenting Stella admiring how she's glowing and beautiful while pregnant. These compliments did not escape David's ears giving them a warning glare along with his cold looks.As the outing wore on, David's irritation reached a boiling point. He couldn't take it anymore, his pride wounded by the constant praise directed at Stella. "Let's head back home," he grumbled, his tone laced with a hint of petulance.Stella feigned anno
David was the first to wake up staring at his wife's face. It was almost 11am and he had to wake Stella up since she hasn't eaten anything. He had to put a lot of effort in waking Stella up while Stella on the other hand was giving all sort of excuses for him to leave her alone so that she could sleep. She later gave in when David threatened her with the ghost. "It seems someone will frown the whole day or should I say one or two months. Well breakfast is ready let me eat mine and dump the rest in the garbage bin." He said mockingly making Stella frown more. " If I had known this is the kind of treatment I will receive here, I would've stayed at home for a peace of mind. I knew coming here was a bad idea but Stella refused to listen to her instinct now look at my life. It's such a pity for a woman in my condition." She said and rubbed her protruding stomach. She raised her head only to see David enjoying his food and acting like she's not present. With how he was munching the food it
David's POV"I looked at her short of words. Is this my punishment for getting her pregnant? How can she be putting me through this. Where did I go wrong? She should've at least waited a little longer for the sky to be bright or something. I'm never getting her pregnant again." He was still thinking when he heard her scream startling him completely. " What is it babe?" " I've been talking to you for the past two minutes and you're not responding. You're really frustrating me these days." she complained while holding her head with a scowling face. "I'm frustrating you really, after all you're putting me through. Remind me not to get you pregnant again." He said making her sniffle her sobs. " Oh really, so you're complaining. You don't want my babies and I. You're indirectly telling me that you're tired of me and you have another woman in your life right?" "I'm not falling for that trick today. Babe you and I know that's not what I mean Please I..." He tried to explain but she cut him sh
" Honey, where are we going? You've been driving for the past three hours and anytime I asked you, you'll tell me that is a surprise. I need to know." David looked at her face and he could tell how curious she is. He chuckled and continued driving. This morning David told her that they'll be going somewhere immediately she woke up. She has asked him of the place but he only told her that is a surprise. She frowned her face when she received no response from him. " Don't frown sweetheart, we'll reach our destination soon. I promise." With that said he concentrated on the road. "Humph... You've been saying this for the past three hours yet we haven't reached our destination." She chuckled and continued talking. " Wait! Are you going to sell me off or kill me. Honey please don't do any of these I know I've been stubborn these days but you can't do this to me. I promise to be a changed person and a good girl." She said all in one breath with a horrified face and with her hands together
The next morning Stella woke up feeling something wet on her neck and she felt something hard poking her back. She finally opened her eyes and saw her husband busily kissing her. "Honey, what are you doing?" She blushed. "Can't you see what I'm doing and what I want." He said in between the kiss. "But is too early and I'm not in the mood." "Yesterday evening was too late and you made junior hungry only for you to pretend to feel sleepy. So my darling wife is never too early to satisfy junior. Talking about you not being in the mood I'll let that happen soon trust me." He replied and when Stella was about to protest he turned her over carefully and sealed her lips with his leaving her to moan. Within one minute there was shuffling of clothes and Stella had already given in. They lasted for two hours but David wanted more he let her be because of her pregnancy. " Sweetheart we need to visit the hospital today. I have a few questions to ask the doctor." He said with a serious face. " But
A WEEK LATER David has been the best husband that Stella has always wished for. He doesn't let her go to work nor do anything at home. He makes time to go for her antenatal with her. He comes home early just to be with her. All these treatments made her forget about the divorce and she always want to be in his arms. This Friday David decided not to go to work and spend sometime with his beloved wife. He decided to go for a one week holiday with her. He just wants the two of them being at a quiet place enjoying a peaceful holiday. He decided to send her to an idyllic place that is the mountains where he has a small but luxurious penthouse that he spends his quiet time at. This was the plan going through his head when he heard some familiar footsteps behind him. He didn't bother to turn knowing who it belongs to. "Babe." Stella called him when she got closer to him. " You only call me 'Babe' when you need something. Am I right?" He questioned her. " He knows me too much. Anyway let m
"Our babies." She repeated again not sure of what she heard. " Yes our babies. Sweetheart I know I've not been a good husband. I realized my mistake and I've decided not to hold onto the past again. I'm really sorry for being a coward and not being a responsible husband and father to our unborn babies." He replied truthfully but not going too deep into their conversation. Stella was just staring at his face not knowing what to say to him. She thought maybe he was just saying it to make her feel better but looking at his face he seemed serious. "So you want a second chance in other words right. I don't think I'm ready for any drama David is better we part ways and not waste each other's time. You can always come and check up on your babies but for me to be fooled again by you is not going to happen." She said with finality in her voice. " Are you going to give up on us just like that. Have you forgotten the love we shared?" "Love you say where was this love when you were being harsh on
