"So, as we were saying,..." The doctor began, in a husky voice. He adjusting his glasses to get a clearer view of me."Now, he's gone, we have almost the whole day to ourselves," he said, grinning happily."Yes doctor," I returned the smile, anticipating for what next he wanted to say. "We're so lucky we've come this far, without being caught. Remember, the deal depends on you. You have more responsibilities to this. So try not to bungle it, else that spells doom. Doom for the both of us!" He explained, looking intently at me."Yes, I know doctor. I'd try my best to avoid suspicion," I promised."That's good," he consented.There was a short moment of silence. I was bothered by my thoughts all the while he talked. There was this one thing I was really skeptical about. "How about the belly bulge? How do we prove to him that I am pregnant?" I was deeply concerned."You have nothing to worry about, Roseville," he comforted. "I have everything sorted out already. You'll just have to

It was a happy Saturday morning and the happiest day of my life! The sun rose early, lending credence to the expectation of a beautiful day. I stare through my window, to be greeted by the lovely view of the exterior. Everything gave me a reason to smile and be grateful. I was getting married today, I couldn't help but beam with smiles, as I admired my reflection on the large mirror. I was putting on a sparkling white wedding gown, that fit perfectly, making me look like an angel. Luckily, my burgling tummy wasn't too obvious too. The tailor really did a great job. My makeup also was topnotch, thanks to the makeup artist. We drove quickly to the court, hardly saying a word to each other. The silence wasn't helping, but we just had to keep it, as we were bereft of words to say to each other. We got to the court, not too long after. Our witnesses were already there waiting, while the registrar was yet to come.I stood there in the courtroom, with my would-be husband by my side, waitin

It's been barely a month now, since we got married. Ben has been the best husband in the universe, to me. I enjoyed every bit of him. His lovely and caring aura, his sweet words that always makes me feel loved, his support in everything I do, and of course, most importantly, the money he spends on me. Yes, that was the most important for me. I really needed it!To be honest, that was the major reason I came after him. The love was just a bonus. That's the reason I had to go as far as inflating my tummy, in order to be able deceive him that I was pregnant, even after lying to him severally, just to find my ways around him. Luckily for me, he still loved me to a fault and seemed to be obsessed with me. Well, maybe because he didn't know that the whole story was all cooked up. I hope and pray he doesn't get to find out, even in the long run. Our two-week honeymoon was over by last week. It was indeed an enjoyable experience for me, especially because of the love and affection he showered

I was heavily pregnant for my child. My delivery time approached quickly. All I could do was watch and wait for the arrival of my little angel.Ben and I have long ago decided on what to name our child. If it were a boy, he would be named Benjamin and if a girl, she will be Mia, we decided. Ben also bought baby items and clothings for both genders alike, some months ago, per adventure it turns out to be either of them. I was happy and played along, although I felt somewhat guilty too.At first, we hadn't any foreknowledge as to the gender of our unborn 'child,' because the doctor advised that it wasn't easily fathomable at the early stages. He obviously said so in a bid to align to the plan. He was so tactical. I loved what he was doing.After we faked the ultrasound results, the doctor thrust it to Ben and said,"Here is the result. We're expecting a baby boy soon!" The doctor spread the good tidings."Yes! I knew it! I knew it would be a male child!" He threw his clenched fists in

I was shocked to the marrow, at the sight of my husband. My heart skipped a beat. My eyes popped, as I quivered greatly, sending my jaws dropping down unrestrained. I was totally speechless, as I couldn't just believe my eyes. I had no idea he followed me up to this place. I wondered how long he had been here."Oh wow! This is the Stephanie's place you said you were heading to, huh?" He smirked, with a questioning look on his face.I kept mum and moved my eyes away from his gaze, down to the ground, while I led my hand behind my neck, caressing it softly. I glued my eyes to the floor, uneasy under his looks as I thought of what would happen next."I'm talking to you, Roseville! Have you suddenly gone dumb? What's wrong with you?" He got raged, hardly able to control his anger.His hoarse voice sent shivers down my spines. I trembled, in great fear."I…I…I just…" I stuttered, unsure of what to say."You just did what? Is this Stephanie's house? You tell me!" He yelled angrily at me."N
