Chapter 51

Aella and Damien joined Elena and Maggie in the living room as they watched a reality show together while chatting. Along the line, Aella dozed off and Damien carried her to the room. Elena was also tired and wished Maggie a good night's sleep.Maggie decided to stay in the living room until she finished her bottle of wine.Damien placed Aella on the bed as he covered her properly, reminiscing the moment they spent together at the Kitchen as he stroked Aella's hair. He decided to shower before going to sleep but after he was done he heard sounds coming from the living room and he decided to go check it out. Getting to the living room, Damien saw Maggie, she passed out on the couch holding her wine glass, the empty bottle of wine was lying on the floor and the television was still on.Damien shook his head as he switched off the television, before tapping Maggie gently, but she didn't respond, he removed the glass from her hands.“Maggie'' Damien called out a little bit loud and Maggi

Chapter 52

After breakfast was done, Aella decided to sleep in, as she was always feeling tired, so she made a mental note to drop by the hospital to get herself checked. Just as she was about to go to sleep, her phone rang, and she answered the call. “Hello Collins,” Aella greeted over the phone.“Hey, sister I just wanted to check on you. How was dinner? Did it go smoothly?” Collins asked.“Yes, we decided to sleep over, and we will be going back today. It was beautiful that you were here, and Elena longs to see you,” Aella answered.“I’m glad it went smoothly; I should give you time to rest, then talk to you some other time,” Collins said.“Alright then, my regards to Lawson; please make out some time so we can see,” Aella responded as she ended the call.Aella groaned at the intensity of the headache as she opened the bed drawers, hoping to see some Advil. Luckily, she found a bottle, and after popping two pills in her mouth as she was about to drop the pills, her sight landed on an album

Chapter 53

Aella's eyes stirred open as she heard Damien's loud voice.“Pregnant, I am not pregnant,” Aella muttered as she tried to sit up.“Your husband said you complained of constant tiredness and weakness of the body; it is a common sign in pregnant women, but we cannot be too sure. I will write out some prescriptions and take your samples to the lab,” the doctor explained.Using a syringe, the doctor withdrew some blood from Aella's hand, and Damien just watched. The doctor scribbled on a note and handed it over to Damien.“Get her these drugs; at a pharmacy, they will help with the pain she is feeling until the test results are out,” the doctor stated as he closed his briefcase.“Thank you, doctor,” Damien said as he accepted the note. He walked the doctor to the door.“There was no need to call the doctor,” Aella stated as she stood up, walking towards the room.“I was worried; you slept all through the drive back home, and Mom told me you had a headache earlier; why did you not tell me,

“Good afternoon, Jeremy,” Aella greeted.“How are you doing, Aella?” Jeremy asked again.“I'm alright, Jeremy. I received your package; thank you so much,” Aella said politely.“I also received your message, and I got the hint. I hope you enjoy the meal, Aella; it's just a box of your favorite food,” Jeremy stated.“Oh, Jeremy You shouldn't have bothered; thank you so much,” Aella said again.Damien glared at Aella; he knew who she was talking to and couldn't stand it. He carried the flies, pretending to be on another call, and he walked out of the office.Aella sighed, forgetting that she was on the phone.“What's the matter, Aella?” Jeremy questioned her as he heard her sigh.“ohh… It's nothing, Jeremy. But I would appreciate it if you didn't send me any more gifts; my husband is quite uncomfortable with it.” Aella confessed. She felt like she could trust Jeremy, as he was her childhood friend."Ohhh,” Jeremy said, "Aella, we have been friends since childhood, and we have been away

Chapter 55

Damien contemplated heading to the hospital to see Aella or going back home; it was already late, so he decided to go home instead.He got home, and to his greatest surprise, the living room was empty. He walked into the bedroom expecting to see Aella, but it was also empty. Damien frowned as he brought out his phone to call Aella, but it was not connecting.He walked out of the room, closing the door behind him as he marched into the living room.“Damien, When did you come in?” Maggie asked as she walked into the living room, surprised to see Damien standing fully clad in his suit.“Yes, I just got back,” Damien replied as he dialed Aella's number again.“And where is Aella? Why is she not with you?” Maggie asked, furrowing her brows as she looked in the direction of their bedroom.“I don't know; she left the office early, saying she was going to visit her grandmother. I thought she would be home by now,” Damien answered as he groaned in frustration as he sat on the couch.“But it is

Damien got up immediately, carrying his car keys. He left the house. Maggie tried to stop him, but he just pushed her away.Maggie frowned as she marched into Aella's bedroom, hitting the door furiously. “Go away, mother!” Aella yelled from inside the room.“Open this door this instant and tell me where exactly you are coming from,” Maggie demanded.Aella paid no attention to her; she covered herself under the duvet, blocking the noise with headphones, and soon she fell asleep.Maggie stood by the door for a while, and when she saw that Aella was not responding, she stomped off to her room. She sat down on her bed, but she was restless. She needed to take advantage of this opportunity, but she had no plans yet.Maggie pranced around the room for a while, thinking of something mischievous to do, when a bright idea popped into her mind. She smiled as she walked out of her room to the kitchen.The plan was to cook for Damien and take it to his office so that she could get the opportunit

Maggie stayed behind for a while in Damien's office. Damien had to force himself to work, so it would not be so obvious that he was affected.When he noticed that Maggie had no plans on going, he decided to eat the food despite having no appetite.“Do you like the food, Damien? I know it's your favorite, and I made it exactly the way you like it," Maggie asked after Damien was done with his food.“It is nice, Maggie. Thank you once again. You should go home now. You have spent a lot of time here already," Damien replied.“Oh Damien, I spend all my time at home all day; I don't have anything to do; I will just stay with you until work is over," Maggie insisted.“You don't have to, Maggie; I have a lot of work and I won't leave early; you don't have to wait for me," Damien countered, hoping Maggie would just take the hint and leave.“I will be here, Damien. You wouldn't even notice my presence," Maggie replied as she lay on the couch.The more she stayed in Damien's office, the mor

“What are you trying to say?” Maggie asked, feigning ignorance.“I know everything, mother. Don't play dumb with me. You cooked for Damien using my recipe book, took it to his office, and did not come back until now, so I am quite interested. Are you now an employee?” Aella asked back.“It's not my fault you have issues in your relationship, Aella; I only did what was right,” Maggie defended.“My bad, and the right thing you could think of was taking food to my husband?” Aella asked again, in disbelief.“You locked yourself in a room doing only what God knows, and I took food to my son-in-law. What's the problem with that?” Maggie fired back, raising her voice, hoping Damien would hear her.“I locked myself up in a room, and my own mother seems more concerned about her so-called son-in-law than her daughter. Where is that done? You did not even bother to find out if I was okay or if I needed something," Aella retorted. She couldn't believe Maggie's audacity.“I have nothing to say to

“Didn't you hear Maggie? What are you doing with my phone?” Damien asked again.“Damien… Please don't tell Aella." Maggie said it in a whisper as she pulled Damien closer to her.“What is it, Maggie?” Damien asked, furrowing his eyebrows.“I opened a dating account recently, and I have to upload a profile picture, but my camera is bad, so I decided to use yours," Maggie lied smoothly.Damien collected the phone from Maggie, and as he opened the gallery, there were a few snapshots of Maggie.Maggie chuckled inwardly; she had already thought of a backup plan just in case Aella or Damien saw her on the phone.She took the pictures before answering Aella's grandmother's call.“Maggie, a phone is a personal asset. You can't take it without the owner's consent," Damien stated.“I am really sorry. I could not say to my son-in-law that I wanted his phone for dating site pictures.” Maggie apologized again.“It's right,” Damien said. He turned around and left."Wait, Damien, don't you want d

Chapter 60

At every opportunity Maggie got, she fed Damien with rubbish about Aella, condemning her own daughter in his presence.She had told Aella to stay away from Damien for a while, and she was taking advantage of it.She told Damien that the reason Aella was not trying to make amends anymore was because she was done with the marriage and was considering divorce.Damien could not believe it at first, but Maggie was cunning. She was like a slow poison spreading in Damien's heart, fueling his anger for Aella.Damien started giving into her claims, and his anger for Aella grew every day. The more she never tried to talk to him or resolve their fight, the more it irritated him.So when Aella approached him, he was surprised and then thought she had finally come to the conclusion of divorcing him.“Why are you bringing up divorce? I do not understand you, Damien.” Aella asked, confused. All she wanted to resolve was her husband's and his attention.“You want to divorce me so you can get more mon
