58. MIMI IS GONE

last update Last Updated: 2022-09-11 17:12:31

"Doctor, how is she?" Was the first question Benhail asked immediately after he entered the Doctor's office.

"Please have a seat," the Doctor motioned to the armchair that was in front of him. Benhail did as he instructed. He noticed the scowl that marred the Doctor's face as he went through the files on his desk. He stopped at one and heaved a long sigh. "Her antenatal classes were going on well, she had no problems until last week. I guess some problems are just genetic and that's what is happening to her right now."

"How is the baby?" Benhail queried, his voice almost sounding low.

"I am sorry, Mr. Benhail. I regret to tell you this, but Emery lost the baby." He shut his eyes for a brief moment.

"Lost the baby? Our Mimi is gone?" Benhail shrieked, refusing to admit to the fact that Emery just lost her seven-month-old baby. "How did you lose the baby?" He asked him, his voice coming out as whispers. His palms became sweaty, his forehead formed a crease and sweat oozed from the wrink

  • Twelve Months Deal With The Billionaire   59. BRING MIMI BACK TO ME

    The news of the pregnancy loss still seemed like a dream to Emery. No matter how hard she tried to understand and figure out what was happening, she still didn't believe her Mimi was gone. The child she had waited for all her life was gone. She had cried and earnestly prayed that her baby would come back to life, she didn't want to just accept the fact that she was gone.She'd rejected the anesthetics given to her before the removal surgery; she didn't care if she'd be hurt, the pain of losing the seven-month-old baby was more excruciating than physical pain. She was down, emotionally, and mentally, she was drained. She had a bit of sanity left in her, she feared she would go crazy soon.After the surgery, Benhail brought her back home and since then she'd been partially mute. She only said a few words, she cried most of the time, staring at everything and everyone like she didn't recognize them. The loss was too much to bear."You should eat some food, Emery." Benhail sat close to he

    Benhail's eyes were on Emery as he adjusted his suit. She was lying on the bed, staring up at the ceiling like there was something up there that had caught her interest. Her mind was void, she just wanted to lie on the bed all day.He looked into the full-length mirror. Satisfied with his looks, he walked over to Emery. He crouched on the bed, Emery was thoroughly under the scrutiny of his eyes. With her messy hair, her dry and cracked lips, and the contradicting colors of clothes that she wore, she looked like a depressed woman.He took her hand, clasping it with his. "I will be back, I have to go because I am leading the team. My presence is very paramount, I will be back." He leaned forward to kiss her. "Agnes will take care of you. Amery called me earlier, she's coming back today." He said to her.Emery didn't give a response to him, her eyes were still on the ceiling. Benhail looked up, wondering what she was staring at. He heaved a sigh, staring back at her. "Emery, it's been a

    Benhail got back home later that night. Looking so tired, he proceeded to the bedroom but met the whole place void. "Emery," he called, pacing the room. "Emery!" He yelled loudly, rushing out of the room, he met Agnes where she was seated in the kitchen chair, her hands resting on her jaw, deep in thought. "Where is Emery?" He asked in a stern voice."I didn't meet her at home, she sent me to the grocery store, and when I got back she had already left. I didn't know where she went too. I have searched for her around the estate. She wouldn't pick up her phone too." Agnes sighed, throwing her hands behind her back. "Do you have an idea where she could be?" She questioned him."For how long has she been gone and why didn't you call to inform me that she was missing?" He glared at Agnes."I did, I called several times but you didn't pick up the phone." Agnes defended herself.Benhail raised his hand, he had left his phone in the office while the meeting was going on. And he didn't bother

    "It's been a while, Benhail." Liam smiled, fixing his glasses."Yes," Benhail nodded his head worriedly. His hair was messy, his business suit different from the usual well-tailored ones he used to wear. His eyes were weary, Liam could easily detect something was wrong with him."You should have called me over to your place. You know I don't mind coming over, right?""Liam," Benhail folded his hands, "There is no need for that, I am here now and we need to discuss.""What's it about?" Liam inquired. "Wait, before we go further, why are you like this?" He moved his hand in front of Benhail."Like what?" He squinted, he hadn't looked into the mirror before leaving the house that morning. His mind was clouded with thoughts of Emery. It'd been a week without her and it felt like his whole world had crumbled. He was not able to call and when he tried to reach Lola, she told him to give Emery more time. He'd been giving her time, but it seemed like an eternity, he needed to see her, so badl

    Benhail checked the address that was written in front of the house he was standing in, comparing it to the one Lola sent to him. They were the same. He sighed in relief, Lola had been of great help to him since Emery left his house. She was the one who told him how she was fairing, the things she did and where they recently moved to. Amery had completely shut him off, he wasn't mad about that, he understood that she had to do what her twin wanted her to do.Lola had told him their schedules for the day; she'd be going to work, Amery had to make some paintings delivery outside Texas and Emery would be the only one at home, a perfect time to come see her and discuss whatever he had in mind with her.After Benhail left Liam's office that day, he'd been thinking so much about what to do and he finally settled for one of his thoughts and that was confessing to Emery how he felt about her.He clasped the doorknob, gently twisting it down. The door was locked. He knocked four times yet there

    "How do you feel?" Benhail asked Emery."I don't want to go with you yet. The cot, Mimi's clothes, toys and everything. I don't want to see them for now." "I know and I am not asking you to go with me now. I will give you all the time in the world to heal, but I don't want you to push me away anymore. Let me stay with you, let's pass through this phase together." He intertwined their fingers, staring intently into her eyes. "I got you pregnant, she was our baby."Emery smiled. She had suffered alone all this while, but it felt better now that he was with her."I am sorry I left the house without telling you. I was just so sad, I didn't want to remain in the house. I felt there was no need to stay.""You wouldn't have left if I had been more open about my feelings for you. I stalled, and I regret that because you suffered alone." He kneaded her fingers with his thumb. "But I am here for you if you'll let me stay.""I will let you stay, Benhail." She said sharply. "I will let you stay,

    "Why did you bring me here?" Emery asked Benhail when they got to Isabella's restaurant."You have to eat," he replied to her, unclasping her seatbelt after he did his. "Benhail, I am fine." She said, shaking her head."But you haven't left the house in weeks. Don't protest, Lola told me everything.""Oh, I will strangle her," Emery kissed her teeth."I was wondering how you got the address to the house too. No one knew we moved there, so Lola is the culprit, right?" She laughed softly."You won't get mad at her for that, would you?" Benhail asked.Emery shook her head, "She did well, I wanted you to come to visit me and I am glad you came." She smiled at him. He took her hand and squeezed it lightly. "What would you like to eat?""Let's get in and I will make a choice.""Is your appetite back?" He asked teasingly."You are here, Benhail. Everything feels right when you are with me." She stroked his fingers. "Let's go in, I am starving." She said, rubbing her palm against her tummy.

    Benhail halted the vehicle when they arrived in front of ANIDE fashion home, he looked at Emery, noticing the nervousness on her face as her eyes darted around the compound. "Are you still unsure about this?" He asked, unclasping the seatbelt. "I thought you've thought about it and we've reached an agreement. What's the fussy face all about?" He sighed, unlocking the door. "Benhail, yes, we have." She smiled, "I am just nervous. You know this is my first time doing this, it makes me nervous to do this, but don't worry, I am summoning the courage to go in there to meet with Anide." He took her hands, "That's why I am here with you, Emery. You don't have to be nervous about anything. I am here for you. Just look at me whenever you are nervous. I am certain my face will give you the courage that you need." He squeezed her hand and kissed the top. "Common, let's go in." He said. His words inspired her, that was all she needed the whole time.

    The Shrill cry of baby Ella woke Emery from her afternoon nap. Tossing on the bed, she groaned and looked at her husband who was busy typing on the computer."Your baby is crying," Emery grumbled, attempting to get out of bed, but her eyes were still heavy. She hadn't slept overnight, baby Ella had been awake all night and she was trying her best to put her to sleep."I just gave her her food," Benhail left what he was doing, walking over to the baby's cot that was in their bedroom. They had moved the baby's cot to the bedroom immediately after Emery was put to bed, two months ago. She was against the idea of keeping her baby in a different room, so Benhail suggested they moved the cot to their room."She won't stop crying," Emery croaked."Get back to sleep, I will get her." He heaved the baby out of his cot and placed a soft kiss on her cheeks. She was tiny, and looked so much like him, exactly like him, making Emery jealous of the fact that she carried her for nine months and she c

    Some months later, Emery was dressed in a white chemise, standing in front of the full-length mirror. She stared into the mirror with tears in her eyes."We will be late if you continue to cry." Amery hugged her from the back, handing her a small handkerchief to wipe away the tears that stained her cheeks."I can't believe I am getting married today," Emery gently wiped the tears from her eyes. "Still baffles me.""You should be happy, Emery. There is no reason for you to cry.""I am happy, Amy. I am very happy, and these are tears of joy." She hugged her sister, gently sobbing into her shoulder."I am happy we found happiness, we've been through so much together and we deserve every good thing that's coming our way. Your wedding is today and mine is next month." Amery patted her sister's back. "Our parents will be so proud of us wherever they are.""I wish they were here to witness this day." Emery sobbed, but Amery calmed her down. She went on her knees to feel the baby in Emery's t

    "Happy birthday to us." Emery and Amery said in unison, clinking glass against glass. Cheering, they downed the content of the wine and Lola served them another round."To my favourite girls in the whole world, I wish you the very best life has to offer. I love you two so much." She raised the hem of her gown, leaning forward to kiss Emery on the cheeks, after she was done, she moved over to Amery. "Common, let's have a party." She clapped her hands as she walked to the centre of the room to tell the disc jockey to play some nice music.Amery and Emery had virtually the same thing on; the same knee-length straight gown but of different colours. Amery's was red while Emery settled for the pink one, the same pair of silver-coloured stilettos, the same makeup and their hair was done in the same style; they looked elegant and simple at the same time."Oh my, Liam is here." Amery squealed when she sighted Liam walking into the small restaurant they had rented for themselves for that evenin

    Benhail was standing in front of her when she swivelled around, she smiled, walking closer to him."How long have you been here?" Emery asked, snaking her arms around him."Since you started coordinating the models." He kissed her cheeks. "You are doing well, but don't stress yourself. The baby doesn't want stress, you know right?" She nodded her head to his words. "And I brought you snacks, I feel like you need them." He handed a bag to her, she took it from him and kissed his cheeks."Thank you, I was hungry." She led him to the couch that was in the lounge. She had stopped hiding the bump since the day she made up with Benhail; she hid it before because she didn't want the words of her pregnancy to spread to him.She placed the polythene bag on the centre table that was in the lounge, she picked one from the croissants, a bit on it and moaned satisfactorily."Tastes very nice," she gave one to him but he refused to take it from her. "Why don't you want to eat with me?" She asked, f

    Emery walked into the living room after Benhail dropped her. She met her sister sitting on the couch with her arms curled under her legs. She ignored her, walking into the room to meet Lola but Amery stopped her."Can we talk?" She asked Emery.Emery wanted to say no to her, but she changed her mind about that. She was on good terms with Benhail, things were good again it was because of Amery's effort to bring them back, she owed her one there."I am sorry," she started, staring into her sister's eyes. "I am sorry I went too fast even when you didn't want to. Can you forgive me?" Amery looked into her eyes, biting her lips.Emery smiled, her sister was too cute she couldn't resist her if she was being that way."I was truly worried about you, I am so sorry." She got up from the couch and walked down to sit on the sofa Emery was seated on. "You know we've always looked out for each other and got each other's back, I was just being a good sister, I didn't mean to hurt you." She took her

    "Guess it won't work here," Emery drawled. "Let's go home then," he looked into her eyes. She nodded her head in support. He kissed her lips and she got down, sitting back on the car's seat.Benhail started the car, driving at a very fast speed. The bulge between his legs had grown bigger and he couldn't wait anymore, he wanted to be buried deep inside of her, kneading her, thrusting in and out of her as she screamed his name.He arrived home shortly after, Emery kissed him in the car but he pulled away. "Come in with me."She trailed behind him like a lost puppy. He gripped her arms when they got into the house, tugging her closer, he stared into her eyes. "Benhail," she gasped and placed her lips on his. It started gingerly, carefully taking her lips in his and nibbling on them, she snaked her hands around his neck and moaned into his ears. "Please take me, I want you now, Benhail.""I know you do," he ripped her dress off her body in an instant. Emery gasped, giggling after. She

    The models all lined up in the same outfit of a strapless long black dress. There was a loud round of applause as they walked down the stage. Emery smiled proudly where she sat, watching them. After the show, she went to address the models. When she was done with them, she strolled outside for fresh hair when she bumped into Anide and Benhail. She was surprised to see her.Anide ran towards her and pulled her into a big hug. "You are doing well and I am so proud of you." She told her."Thank you so much, I learnt from you." She said jokingly, hugging her again. "You didn't tell me you were coming though, I would have made reservations for you." She pouted her lips, ignoring Benhail even though he was standing right in front of her."Oh, I didn't have plans of coming over. Benhail wanted me to come with him." She smiled at Benhail. "And now there is something that interests me, I will see you guys later." She smirked at them, walking towards the photographer.Emery laughed, she turned

    The next morning, Emery was dressing up for work when she heard a knock at the door. Lola just left the house and she figured she was the one knocking since she had the habit of forgetting her things at home."What did you forget this time?" Emery opened the door and her eyes met with Benhail's. Her shoulders dropped, and her heart started to beat erratically. She was about to close the door but he stopped her. He grabbed her hands, pulled her inside and slammed the door shut."What are you doing here?" She asked him.His eyes met with hers when he stepped into the room, she looked away from him and repeated. "What are you doing here?""Emery, were you going to keep it away from me forever?" He inched closer to her. "Why didn't you tell me?""Tell you what? What are you talking about?" She feigned confusion. She knew he already figured out about the pregnancy, and she was sure Lola told him about it."Isn't it glaring?" His eyes ogled her body. She looked down to see that she was in

    "Hey," Emery smiled at Mariana when she got to her office. "Is your boss in?" She asked."Yes, he is." Mariana stood up to hug Emery. "It's been a while.""Yes, it is," Emery responded. Mariana directed her to sit down. "How have you been and how's your work going?" "Been great!" Mariana smiled, "I heard and saw that you started your fashion brand. Really beautiful, congratulations to you, Emery." "Thank you so much, Mariana. I would have loved you to patronise us but we only deal with plus-sized women.""I heard that too, a very great idea. I am so happy for you. That has always been my dream before I became a secretary to Benhail, but I love my job more now." She fanned herself dramatically."That's cool too." Emery nodded her head. "We agreed to be friends but we don't follow each other on any social media platform. Did Benhail tell you that I have people who can publicise your brand for you?""No, he didn't." She shook her head. "You do have them?" She asked, and Mariana nodded
