All Chapters of Married To My Ex's Father : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

GLENDA'S POVIt's been two days since Maurice left for business and the house felt empty. His absence only made me realize how deeply I was aware of his presence. I had thought I avoided him well enough not to notice his absence. This only proves how wrong I was.As I lay in bed, my thoughts involuntarily stirred towards Maurice, I felt the rise of bile in my throat, the urge to throw up. I immediately scampered out of the bed and headed for my bathroom.With my head bent over the water closet, I retched, expelling whatever was left in my stomach from the previous day. I raised my head slowly, heaving tiredly. The activity was exhausting.And this was becoming a habit. For the past few days, my visit to the restroom was becoming habitual. I would wake with the perpetual urge to vomit. My strength seemed to grow meager each passing day and with a growing need to stay in bed all the time.I was probably coming down with a fever, and a terrible one at that. I moved to the faucet to wash

GLENDA'S POVI tossed restlessly on my bed. It was well into the night and sleep eluded me. My mind was a maze. The events of the day had stirred a torrential turmoil within me. The iota of peace I thought I was beginning to have dissipated into thin air as though it never existed.I was a mess! Both mentally and physically. Neither was beneficial to my health. Most especially now. I let my hand rest on my belly. A gentle reminder of the cause of my angst.God! I was pregnant. It seemed like a breath hitching nightmare, only it wasn't. It was my reality. I was pregnant for my husband's son. I shut my eyes tightly and turned my head to the sides of my pillow. Nothing I did made all of this disappear. I would always open my eyes to the same dilemma.Agitatedly, I passed a hand over my face, rubbing at it a little too hard. I felt lost. I had no inkling on what to do or how to even begin to address this mess.Elsa's idea was absurd! I understood she was trying to help but the solution sh

GLENDA'S POVI stretched and yawned with contentment when I woke up. I was well rested and relaxed. I had slept better than I had ever done in a very long time. I went to bed happy last night. Very happy. I smiled to myself as I recalled the events of the previous night. Last night, Brian had held me. He apologized and he comforted me. We spent a good amount of time talking. Talking and trying to sort things out. He told me he was going to tell Maurice about us and the baby. I snuggled myself smiling sheepishly at the thought.He was going to take responsibility. He was going to stand by me and our baby. He regretted letting his anger get the better side of him. I expressed my hurt over his cheating and he apologized. He said it was a mistake, a slip that would never repeat itself. He was so sincere and I believed him. Shocking how one moment we were yelling and screaming and the next we just wanted to be so lost in each other. I looked to the empty side of my bed. Brian would hav

GLENDA'S POVIt seemed for the first time, my feelings didn't stir me wrong. Something bad did happen. Something horrible actually. The shock and pain I felt was out of the world. I was too shaken to come to terms with it. "I can't believe he did this to me." Hot tears slipped down my cheeks burning their path down my face."I can't believe he deceived me again!" I buried my face into my pillow and cried. I sank my teeth into the pillow in an attempt to stifle my painful wails. "Fool! Fool! I'm such a fool!" I cried. I pulled on my hair and dragged at my face.Elsa quickly held my hands, restricting me so I wouldn't wound myself. "Stop this Glenda. You'll hurt yourself.""No Elsa, no, let me be. I deserve it. You tried to warn me… That bastard!" I yelled.My eyes had grown so large that they bulged out of their sockets. My nose was puffy, red and sore. My hair was disheveled. I was in total disarray. Nothing about me was collected. Both physically and mentally.That bastard Brian ha

GLENDA'S POV"That was excellent! Wonderful! That's what I've been trying to tell you all the while. Fight for your husband!" Elsa shrilled in excitement.We were back to the confines of my room. I was lying on bed and Elsa occupied the chair by the vanity table."I'm not fighting for anything. I had just had enough of her. I was in no mood to listen to her insults." I tiredly explained to Elsa why I had challenged Lucy."It's the same thing. At least now she knows not to get too comfortable ordering everyone around when she's only a glorified mail woman." Elsa insisted."Whatever you say." I responded with indifference. Lucy and her antics were the last thing bothering me at the moment. I had to think of the perfect way to present this matter to Maurice. That's the only other logical option I had right now."I guess Maurice will be returning soon?" Elsa asked."I guess so." I responded with disinterest."What's bothering you?""Are you really asking me that?" I chuckled at the irony.
