“You are putting the future of your child in Jeopardy, if you do not come to your senses, you will not onlylose your husband but your child too, you think the Morgan family will let you walk off with that childwhile their blood runs in his veins.” She angrily tells me.“Well it is a good thing then is it not, that their blood does not run through his veins.” A sick part of mewatched on with such pleasure as I watched Bianca process the truth I just let out.“Y-you carry another man's child?” She asks putting her shaking hands above her lips.“Yes dear mother and Ryan already knows it, so it wouldn't be that hard to walk off after all.” I saypretending to look for dirt in my toe nails.All this was beginning to stress me out and the slight backs in my stomach was faintly coming back.“Y-you cheated on your husband?” She goes ahead to ask, it didn't sound really much like a question butI'll give her an answer It is my pleasure.I pretend to think, “well technically yes but I
Two days of being held up at the hospital bed for more surveillance, Maxwell is finally taking me backhome.Maxwell has been looking sort of distracted since he came back but I couldn't be more elated with theprogress and news of my child being healthy and safely tucked away in my belly, I promise to pay moreattention to him now. I refused to check what gender it is, I want it to be a surprise. Maxwell badlywanted to know what gender our baby is but bummer for him, he's not the one with a child in his bellyso he let me make the final decision.“Ana, it's so good to have you back.” Jersey greets Maxwell and walks into the store with me.“Thank you Jersey, I'm glad to be back here too.” I tell her sweetly.Maxwell head upstairs with me trailing like he owns the place. The man has the ability to input andcommand his presence anywhere he went.“You don't really have to stay here, you know that right?” Max tells me, looking like he was trying to hidea scowl at me staying here in
I feel so refreshed and happy by the time this morning comes. All the stress and dramas in the past week allthrown in the trash can and long forgotten.Maxwell wakes up in a good mood because he's out in the kitchen making breakfast.I have my bath and get dressed up.“Where do you think you are going Ms. Gibson?” Maxwell asks me as he walks into the room with all hisbroad chest out for display and his pants hanging very seductively low.“Are you trying to seduce me Mr. Hyde?” I ask him Instead.“Maybe my missus, you just might never know.” He says as he moves to hold my waist.“Okay then, my Lord.” I say giving him a fake bow with a childish indulging smile on my face.“Really, where are you going Ana?” Max asks again.“To work.” I smile.Max's face turns into a frown slowly and then he groans. “But the doctor needs plenty of rest.” Maxinforms me like he really thought I suddenly developed amnesia over the night.“Well someone totally forgot and threw the doctors instru
Maxwell picks me up later that evening after the store has been closed. I take a shower as slowly as I cannot at all looking forward to meeting both our parents.When Maxwell's car stands at the driveway, he shuts the engine down and we both don't say anythingfor a while.“If you changed your mind and you don't want to go inside, you can just tell me and I will take you out ofyour, no questions asked.” Maxwell firmly tells me.I smile in appreciation at his protective tone “it's okay darling, I'm fine.” I tell him.Max nods at my answer “promise me the moment you begin to feel uncomfortable and you want toleave you will let me know.” Max requests seriously.“I promise.” I reassure him massaging his hands.“Come on then, let's go face the two Satan's on earth.” Max says playfully.“We better hurry before they burn us for being late.” I tell him with a giggle.We get out of the car and go through the front of the house.This place feels so unfamiliar and strange, it feels
“And you need to get that thing you carry in your belly out.” She adds.“What the fuck did you just say?” Max barks at her in an attack and I relax my back on the couch, nolonger surprised or about to be cut off guard by something my mother says.Bianca jumps at Max yell, definitely not reaction from her cool and easy going stepson.“It's always a fucking arrangement for the both of you is it not? Well we will not be apart of it, we areboth done being used as pawns in to stupid political and business games. All we ask for is for you to justbe parents, we are definitely not asking for too much. If that is too hard for the both of you, fine, we willunderstand like we have always done. We are leaving.” Maxwell angrily tells them and turns to carefullyhelp me out of the couch.“You are both just two very ungrateful pairs. You will surely regret this Ana, one day you will turn back andcome crying to me like you always do. You will understand that you have no life without me.” Bi
I watch Scarlett silently as she drops a covered document on my desk, smirks at me and walks out of myoffice.I shakily reach out to pick up the envelope and pull it open, they are a series of four photos in front ofme and my heart drops at the pictures in front of me. I feel like I'm about to throw up at the pictures I'mstaring at. In the first picture, Maxwell is laying naked on the bed, asleep with Scarlett standing over him,the next picture is of Scarlett laying on top of him, and the third is a picture of Scarlett kissing Maxwellwith his eyes closed.I can no longer look at the pictures as I sit on my chair, trying to breathe and process my feelings. All Iwant to, do is curl on my bed and cry heavily. I walk upstairs to my apartment like I was being controlled.I go into my shower and refresh myself.I try not to think about it too much but I couldn't help it all night, I barely slept through the night and Iwas too scared to confront Maxwell about it, too afraid that h
It's the weekend and I decide to take myself out alone for a treat. I wear a bini and head to the store torestock the groceries.Jersey had offered to help but I just want to go for a stroll with my bini baby and just take in some freshair, I haven't done this in a really long time.I spend thirty minutes in the store before I begin to notice the stares I've been getting. I ignore the staresand whispers as I go about stocking up and getting things I might need. I would also do a baby shoppingbut it's still too early and I would love to do that with Ryan at my side.A woman and probably her daughter stand at the other end of the aisle as they both continue to stare atme and whisper. I'm right here ladies, I think. They are not even trying to pretend or maybe it's just tooobvious but I head to the counter to weigh and pay for my stuffs.Even the girl at the counter wouldn't stop staring but I still ignore, I gather my bags of groceries refusingthe lady on the counters help.W
“Get off of me Ryan.” I cry out. “What the fuck do you think you are doing?” I yell at him.“I know I didn't want to be bound by marriage to a spoilt and entitled brat but my father wanted yourfather's company and he found an opening to be able to do that.” Ryan crazily tells me.“I didn't want to be involved but it would be only to take over your father's company by means ofmarriage bond and Maxwell didn't even want to inherit his father's company.” Ryan continues to say likehe was going out of his mind.“There's a lot of things I didn't want to do but they keep making me and I don't want to have a choice andyou get to sleep with and be pregnant for your brother and get away with it.” Ryan says grabbing mythroat and pressing down.“Ryan you are hurting me.” I wheeze out like that would make him stop.“Nobody leaves me, I will not let that happen.” I almost succumb to my faith but I guess we both don'thear it in the chaos of this situation.A heavy force pushes Ryan away f
