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
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
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
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
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
"No...No...No..." She woke up breathing heavily from the same nightmare again. "what's wrong with me and this same nightmare? Can this have anything to do with me or what ?" She was still deep in thought when Mrs. Klein shouted her name outside her door. " Mom, I've told you to stop shouting because the more you shout , the more you become ol..." She couldn't complete her sentence when Mrs. Klein held her ears twisting it and scolding her, "How dare you little brat call me an old woman for your information I'm still in my early forties and very beautiful too why do you think your dad loves me.". " Ouch, Mom I'm very, very sorry. I should have known better than trying to call you an old woman. Can you please forgive your little Princess just this once ? " Mrs. Klein was about to reply when her husband suddenly entered the room . "What's happening here my precious ladies?" Mr. Klein asked. " Darling can you believe your daughter just called me an old woman just because I shouted her nam
THREE DAYS LATER DAVID'S POV"Hello boss, I found out something about Miss Stella Bill Klein. Should we meet or I should just say it on the phone? said one of David's spy. " Just say it on the phone and make it quickly." " I found out that fourteen years ago something happened which I couldn't figure out and she lost her memory in the process. But it seems she has no knowledge about her memory loss and that's because they've refused to tell her the truth. That's all for now boss." " Alright your pay will be doubled ". The spy couldn't even thank him before he hanged up on him.David went to his bar straight up and served himself some wine and started thinking about what his spy just told him." So her own parents decided to hurt her... hmmm that's soo strange but I don't care whether she lost her memory or not that is my win and I'll make sure she pays dearly for parents sins. No one can stop me from taking my revenge on her not even Charles. But first I have to make her my friend bef
ONE MONTH LATERStella has recovered fully but she is told to remain in the hospital for a week for proper check-up before she'll be able to go home. When Charles heard of the news he was happy but couldn't share with his friend because he was still angry with him.David also heard the news of her recovery and he felt happy but couldn't understand why. He decided to visit her one evening when he was sure her parents had gone home. Stella was surprised to see him when he came to the hospital at that time since it was late at night. "David what are you doing here by this time aren't you supposed to be sleeping. You have to go home and rest. " Stella said though she was happy that he was with her. " I can't sleep knowing that you're not fine. I'm sorry" David said and Stella looked at him confused. "Why are you apologizing to me because the last time I checked you haven't wronged me." Stella replied innocently. David just looked at her hesitating whether to tell her the truth or not. He
