"I'm begging you, Dannie, please let me go back to work," I pleaded with Dannie.He just shook his head in response.I've been trying to convince him to let me go back to work for a while now, but he just won't budge.I glared at him and stormed off to the far side of our bed, plopping down with a huff."Anastasia, look at the baby!" he exclaimed in surprise.I ignored him, but inside I felt guilty for not being more careful."Please be more careful, Anastasia, don't let your anger get the best of you, think about the baby," he calmly advised me.I could feel my eyes starting to water, so I decided to leave our room and head to our living room upstairs.That's where I cried my heart out. I felt even more guilty after Dannie's last words.I could feel someone hug me from behind and say, "Sssshhhh stop crying," in a gentle voice."I just want to go back to work, I'm getting bored being stuck here in your house," I said through my tears."You know that I only care about your safety, righ
This is one of the happiest days of my life. I couldn't imagine something like this happening to me. I thought that as long as I'm with him, we could keep it a secret from everyone. But not anymore. I looked around and realized that everyone on the last floor, including my department, knows about us. It's fine though, at least the ones who know are okay with it. I thought his work wouldn't be affected by what he did today, but I was wrong.I was so relieved when he carefully took me to the front. I was ashamed to walk because everyone was looking at us. Once we were at the front, he took the microphone."Good morning everyone," he said into the microphone. "Let's make this quick so we can eat. Thank you for your cooperation this morning. We succeeded - we got my wife," he announced on the microphone. I blushed and couldn't lift my head because I was so shy.Then I heard gasps and laughter from the employees. "My wife is working hard so I can live with her and our baby, Ayuko, when she
I am sitting here in an unfamiliar restaurant near my workplace while waiting for my mom. I escaped from work just to see her because I really miss her. She just called the store near our house to meet me there. Even her cell phone is not allowed to be held by my dad.I am not sure if I should tell her about what I did to Dannie. I have been working for a month now in my husband's company and because some people in the office know that I am Dannie's wife, my job has become easier. Dannie wants me to work on his floor or become his secretary so he can always be with me and see me. But I don't want that, I don't want his secretary to lose her job. Besides, I am already used to my job.He didn't agree with my decision, but he couldn't do anything about it because he always follows what I want. Oh, isn't it funny that the CEO who everyone is afraid of is following me because of our baby?I shook my head thinking whether the baby is really the only reason he is treating me like this. I als
Dannie and I were on our way home, but I couldn't stop thinking about what my mother said."Anastasia, are you listening to me?"What could her reasons be?"Hey, are you okay?"What's with the surname Walton, and why is Mom so secretive about it?"Anastasia,"I looked at Dannie as he shook me."I've been calling you since earlier, don't you hear me? Are you okay? Do you feel any pain?" Dannie asked, worriedly.I exhaled and shook my head at him."I'm fine, Dannie. I'm just thinking," I said."Are you sure? What are you thinking about? You've been like this since we left the office. Did something happen at work that I don't know about?" he asked again.He's asking a lot of questions. I don't know if it's just my hormones, but I'm getting irritated with Dannie. But I'm holding back because I might be snappy with him again. I'm not in the mood to sweet-talk him now."I'm okay, Dannie, and whatever is on my mind will pass, so just ignore me," I said gently to him."That kind of thinking m
DANNIE'S POV I woke up feeling cold and held my head as it started to ache. I remembered drinking the night before. I opened my eyes and looked for Anastasia, but I stopped when I saw her sleeping soundly with her head resting on the bedside table while I was lying on her legs. We slept on the floor. Did I drink a lot? I slowly got up to lift her and put her comfortably in bed. I also lay down again because my head was hurting.I smiled when she snuggled her head under my armpit as she always did. I closed my eyes while touching her small tummy and fell asleep again.I woke up early and went downstairs to have coffee to get rid of my hangover."Did you wake up early today?" Jea asked as I went down and headed straight to the kitchen."Coffee for hangover, please," I ordered Jea.She laughed, "Okay, drink up, and later in the morning, you'll have a hangover again," she said.I just rubbed my head. Jea was the only one who talked to me like that because we were childhood friends. She wa
DANNIE'S POVI felt a lightness in my heart as Anastasia and I held hands while driving. I was so happy because we had just found out the gender of our baby from her doctor. Our baby is already five months old, so we decided to find out if we're having a baby boy or a girl. We just left her doctor, and I decided to head straight to the mall to buy some things for our baby. I'm excited to see our baby. In fact, I'm secretly thinking about what we should name him or her."Dannie, this is not the way home," Anastasia said when I turned left instead of going straight, which would lead us home.I forgot to tell her that I wanted to go shopping for our baby. "Let's go to the mall and buy things for our baby," I said happily."Isn't it too early, Dannie?" she asked."I'm excited," I said, embarrassed.I heard her soft chuckle. "I'm excited too, but it seems like you're more excited than me," she said happily."Hey, baby, Daddy is so excited to see you," she talked to our baby.I rubbed her b
ANASTASIA’S POVI woke up late feeling very heavy. I thought my morning sickness was over but it suddenly came back every time I woke up, so I decided not to go to work anymore. Dannie was no longer beside me, and I assumed he had gone to work since it was already nine in the morning. I glanced at the food on the side table and closed my eyes again because I was still sleepy.I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I reached for it and answered without checking who was calling. I waited for the person on the other line to speak while my eyes were closed.“Tasia, Sir Dannie has been talking to a woman in his office for almost two hours,” the person on the other end said quickly.I got up suddenly but lay back down as I felt dizzy. I tried to figure out who was calling, so I didn't speak yet.“Hey, Tasia,” Blessy said on the other line. Since when did Blessy become a snitch?“Who is the woman?” I asked as I slowly got up.I rubbed my head while leaning on the headboard of our bed.“
DANNIE'S POVI've been pacing back and forth for a while now. How did my parents find out about Anastasia and our baby? I immediately called my grandma and told her about it, and she came to my office to accompany me."Dannie, can you please stop walking? You're making me dizzy," Grandma irritably said.She's also in my office because I called her right after I talked to my parents about coming here to discuss what they learned about Anastasia and our baby."Grandma, how did they know about them?" I asked grandma as she sat on the sofa."I don't know. I was also surprised when you called me and told me that. I don't tell your parents anything when they visit me at home or when I visit them," Grandma said.Who could have told my parents about them?"Dannie, relax. Sit down, you look like a pregnant cat pacing back and forth," she scolded me.I sat down because I was tired of walking. My heart was pounding so hard, and I was nervous about what Mommy would do to my little family.I was s
