My husband's words echoed in my head as I saw his twelve year old love child playing with her toys by the side of the living room."Cheating is in a man's DNA. It's in our nature to cheat because we have desires"That had been what he told me the day he brought her home a few years ago. I remember the day like it was yesterday, the shock, devastation, and the heartbreak I felt but he just stood there with that smug look on his face and told me that it was just his nature.As if that was supposed to make everything okay. As if that was supposed to excuse his infidelity and betrayal.My mother in-law's words cut through my thoughts with her tone imperious."Are you just going to stand there doing nothing? I asked for a hot chocolate latte more than twenty minutes ago! Be quick about it before I loose my appetite"She was seated at the sofa in the living room watching a lifestyle documentary. My husband's second love child, an eight year old girl with dark hair sat at her feet."Ria,

I slowly opened my eyes groggily to find myself in a hospital bed, surrounded by the beeping of machines and the sterile smell of antiseptic. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my head, forcing me to lie back down.Panic set in as u realized I was alone in the room.I tried to call out for help but my voice was hoarse and barely audible. I was desperate to get someone's attention but my body felt heavy and unresponsive.Then suddenly as I was about loosing all hope of seeing any company, I noticed Jared and Victoria standing outside my room and talking in hushed tones.I felt a surge of anger and hurt but I tried to remain calm, listening in on their conversation."Be patient, Victoria," Jared said, his voice low. "I've already prepared the divorce papers. Once Esmeralda has her premature stillbirth, we can move forward with our plans."I felt like I'd been punched again in the gut. Premature stillbirth? Divorce papers? I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I stared inst

I was lifted off the bed and onto a gurney and the medical staff moved swiftly as they prepared to take me to the labor room. I felt a surge of fear mixed with pain as I was wheeled out of the room, Jared's voice echoing behind me, still refusing to consent to the emergency cesarean section. "Let her push the baby out naturally," he insisted, his words still cold and unyielding. I tried to respond, to tell him to stop being ridiculous and sign the papers, but my voice was hoarse and barely audible.I heard his mother's voice and could tell she had arrived the hospital. I hoped against hope for her to atleast be on my side as a mother and to convince her son to sign the consent form but what I heard from her broke me the more."She will do as my son says. A C-section is too expensive. Who would you expect to pay the bills? My unemployed daughter-in-law?"I tried to forget what I had heard her say to the nurses still trying to convince my husband to sign the consent form and neither co

Esmeralda woke up to the beeping noise of the alarm clock by the stand of her bedroom. It was as if she had been awoken by something else, supernatural, or more likely because the alarm clock hadn't been what jolted her off sleep. She groggily opened her eyes and took in her surroundings. She could see no clouds like the classics said heaven was to be covered in. Or perhaps she hadn't made it to heaven? Her mind wandered to the reasons that might have caused it. She was a submissive wife and an obedient daughter-in-law and had lived her days slaving for others, others who had caused her death. Shouldn't that have at least made her fit to be amongst those headed for the heavens instead of the dimly lit room sje wqa on that looked like a temporal housing to souls headed for hell. "She should be alright after a day or two. And she needs to rest during that time too ma'am"She heard a voice outside mutter with all concern. It didn't sound devilish and had been laced with concern and

"My brother has returned. Now let's watch and see if you'd still act with such inpunity before him" Yvette whispered to her mockingly with an air of confidence and this made Esmeralda's heart to break. How was it possible that she had lived years with these people and their disregards for her without her feeling suffocated in anyway? How was it possible she had slaved all her lives away for them yet still they didn't even value her and at such a time as this. She had lost a child and the very next day her husband had brought home his second child from infidelity and she had accepted the child without questioning, she had accepted anything and everything from her husband because she had been scared of him leaving her, she had been so tolerating and accommodating and this had caused her death. But well, this was her second chance at life. She wasn't going to throw it away. "Who is that and where do you think you two are going?" Esmeralda fired the second Jared closed the door behind h

Esmeralda's mother-in-law wore a some what desperate look but didn't know how best to approach her with the topic she wanted discussing with her. "Esmeralda dear, don't mind my son. You know men and how stressed they can get after a hectic day at work"" It's just an illegitimate child. It's not as if he's divorcing you. My son might have other women and children outside but he always comes home to you. Those women are just for the streets and for him to frolick with. You are his home and he will always return to you"" Don't tell me you're having a reconsideration about your union with my son? He loves you alot to always return home to you everyday. Most women crave that, the presence of their husbands. Are you going to throw that away while hoping that there'd be greener grasses at another side?"Several conversations popped up the old lady's head but she didn't know which one to start a conversation with nor now Esmeralda would react to whichever she decided to begin with.
