Cheating Husband

Phoebe held her tummy.

Pregnant? He made someone else pregnant?

Pain struck her hard. How could he? He cheated on her! How can he do that?!

She felt numb, the pain, anger, and confusion made her like that. As quietly as she can, Phoebe left the study and went to one of the guestrooms.

She's quietly sobbing.

"I-I..." Did he cheat because I can't give him a child after all these years?

Why couldn't he wait? Why did he have to cheat?

"Hngg..." Phoebe painfully cried as she held her tummy. "He could've waited." she murmured.

"If only he waited, he wouldn't need to do it with someone else. He got someone else pregnant..." light sobs can be heard in the whole room. "But I'm already pregnant. What should I do?"

"Thomas, how could you? How could you? Why are you doing this to me?"

Who's the girl? When did he start to cheat?

"How dare you, Thomas. You promised me... You said you'll only love me, want me."

"Phoebe? Wife, are you in here?!" It's been hours since she hid inside this guest room.

She heard all the commotions outside as everyone looked for her. She didn't answer the calls, shutting down her phone.

She knew everyone would be worried. She's never done this before. Whenever she goes out, she would tell her husband and the housemaids. That's how obedient she was.

" Hah. I'm so pathetic. " she bitterly uttered.

Her eyes is red and painful from all the crying. Phoebe can even feel pain in her head, but she didn't care. The pain in her heart can never be compared.

"Honey?" Phoebe looked at the door, bloodshot.

Pathetic.

I'm so pathetic.

"Bring me the keys." for some reason, she felt annoyed as she heard Thomas' voice.

Go away. Just please, I can't face you now.

"Leave me alone." after a very long time, she responded.

" Honey? You're really there." relief could be heard in his voice, but Phoebe knew better.

"Leave Thomas, I wanna be alone." She said, louder this time.

There has been silence for a few seconds, "What happened, Phoebe? Are you okay?"

"Just..." Tears started to fall from her eyes once again. "Please..."

"Here's the key, Sir." Anna's worried voice suddenly appeared. No!

He can't open the door. I won't be able to explain why I look like a mess.

I.

I'm not ready to face and confront him.

Maybe because of anxiety, I suddenly screamed. "Don't you dare open the door! Just leave!"

-----

It's been three days since that happened. In the end, I pretended not to know anything. I also refused to talk about what happened.

So what if he made someone else pregnant? I'm still his wife. I'm also carrying his baby right now, to hell with that woman. She's just a mistress, a one time mistake.

"Thomas..." we're in the room right now, getting ready to sleep.

I said I won't let him be with his mistress, I love him. But I can't help but be distant these past few days. That'd end tonight though. I have to tighten my hold on him so that he won't leave me.

"Hmm? Yes baby?" I walked and hugged him from behind.

Yes, maybe after knowing that I'm pregnant he'll leave that girl. I can accept their child if he want, I will. "You're going to be a daddy." I smiled at him on the mirror.

He froze, not knowing how to react.

"You..." He remained shock. I smiled and turned around to face him as I held his face, "We're going to have a baby."

You're happy right? You want a child, there it is. So please don't leave me behind.
