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
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
" 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
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
