"She's my girlfriend and she's my wife to be. Oh no let me say she's carrying my baby." David said proudly and Stella's parents turned to her with questioning faces. "Mom, Dad don't believe him he's..." "I'm being truthful here, why do you think she's more closer to me and sometimes doesn't come home early from work that's because we're planning our future. " David said with a side smirk. Stella's parents were confused and just staring at their daughter unbelievably. Stella saw their stare and hit David's arm causing him to wince in pain. "Baby that's bad manners. How can you hit your baby daddy so hard. Who will help you carry the baby when you put to bed." David said causing Stella to blush. She hid her face on his chest. Her parents were amused by their display of love even in their presence. "I'm sorry Mr. and Mrs. Klein, I was just trying to pull your legs and as a matter of fact your daughter isn't pregnant so don't be scared. Till she's ready I'll forever wait. The only thing is that I'm in love with your daughter and can you grant her the permission of taking a boyfriend as responsible as me." David said making the tension in the room die down. Stella stared at him dumfounded , she didn't know whether to be happy or scold him for displaying such act in front of her parents. She felt there is more to his niceness or should she say closeness towards her. His sudden change of character from being rude during their first meeting and later coming back to apologize and the next thing he planned drowning her and later apologizes what more can he do to her. She just brushed it off because some part of her trust him and the other part of her finds attitude towards her strange. "Stella darling we came to inform you that your discharge fees has been paid and your dad and I will be traveling for a business meeting. We were worried at first but we discussed with Charles and he agreed to send you home when you get discharged and I believe your handsome boyfriend will take good care of you while we're away." Mrs. Klein said. Stella looked at her Mom with questioning eyes like she and her dad are doing it on purpose. "Mom are you sure about it or you just... you know..." Stella asked her Mom who understood what her daughter was driving at. "No darling we're being serious this time around. We'll be leaving early tomorrow morning at exactly 4am." Mrs. Klein replied truthfully. " But Mom why can't I get discharged today you know how much I hate hospital scent. At least home treatment will be much better than being stuck in the hospital smelling all these horrible medicines." Stella whined like a child. "Young lady no home treatment for you or should I tell them how the last one ended." Mrs. Klein teased her. "No Mom I think here is much better I never thought of it at all." Stella said remembering what she did. How her parents and the nurse were chasing her around the house just to drink her medicine and how she cried for days because she got an injection from the nurse and she refused to talk to her parents especially. She shook her head remembering everything. David on the other side was also thinking about Stella's attitude and saying she hasn't changed. "I thought after all these years she'll be a tough girl who wouldn't be scared of medicine and injection anymore but here she is still running away from it." David smiled stroking Stella hair.

Just as they were still discussing her medicines was brought inside by the nurse. "Ma'am the doctor told me to make sure I see you swallow the tablets before I leave this room." the nurse said. "Can you go and come back as you can see I have visitors". Stella replied. "But ma'am this is the time to take in your drugs and I believe your visitors will understand you." Stella was about replying when David cut in," I can see someone is scared of taking medicine." David teased. " And who told you that. Mommy where's my apple?" Stella asked her Mom. "Your apple is finished darling so drink your medicine after I'll go and buy some for you okay. "Mrs. Klein replied. "But Mom you know..." " No but young lady. We're waiting for you to take in your drugs before we leave here." Mr. Klein said seriously knowing the kind of girl Stella is. David saw her hesitation and took the drugs and water from the nurse before pouring them in his mouth. Stella stared at him with her mouth opened. Before she could tell what was happening, she was kissed no forced to drink the drugs directly from David's mouth in the process of kissing her. He held her closer and continued kissing her till she had swallowed all the drugs in his mouth. She felt the bittersweet medicines in her mouth and frowned at David again. "Your apples will be brought to you soon." was all David could say. The nurse left the ward blushing hard and wishing she was the one in Stella's shoes.Her parents were in awe as to how their daughter met such a nice man like David. He didn't need to introduce himself because everyone in the business world knows the popular but young CEO billionaire David King who turns out to be very arrogant and proud. They wondered how their innocent baby met him left alone date him. Stella was busily scolding David for what he did in front of her parents. "David King why did you do that don't you know my parents and your friend are here..." " The more you talk the more I get attracted to those tempting lips of yours so if you don't want to be kissed in front of your parents and my friend, you better keep that mouth of yours shut." David said seriously and Stella immediately shut her mouth.

Immediately she entered the house the faces of their maids and bodyguards brightened up seeing their beautiful madam back home and strong.

"Hello, this is Stella Bill Klein talking how may I help you?" Stella teased knowing fully well that she was talking to David.

    Stella woke up in an unfamiliar room. She was wondering how long she slept since they've already arrived. She looked around expecting to see David but she couldn't find him. She took her time and studied the room in which she found it spacious and screaming of luxury. She wondered how much David wasted on the house. She decided to go out of the room and look around. She found the place looking very beautiful. She was still admiring the place when she heard a familiar voice. "Do you like it. I can still make some changes if you're uncomfortable." "Like is an understatement but I would rather say I love this house, is very beautiful. David was this the surprise because I love this surprise." She said sincerely. Some of the maids were watching them wondering who the lady is to their boss and some were burning with jealousy wishing to be in her shoes.

    "Change this dress, I don't like it since is too exposing. And make sure that you find a more decent one if you really want to go to the club with me." David said in a serious tone making Stella chuckle. This has been going on for thirty minutes with David disagreeing with almost all the dresses she puts on. "Is not like you brought the idea of going to the club so why are you choosing a dress for me since I can do that myself. And if you think you're not comfortable with the dresses that I've been showing to you why don't you pick up a dress by yourself. I'm tired of not this change." She said feeling frustrated. "That will be better since you can't choose any decent wear. Do you know the number of men there that you're wearing explosive dress. Don't worry I'll choose a better wear for you." With this said, he went inside the wardrobe and chose a more decent and beautiful dress for her. But Stella decided to question him more."Really is this what I'm wearing just for night club? You k

    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..."

    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.

" 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.
