As the woman of the night, she descended the stairs first with her best friend and siblings behind her.
Eric could not take his eyes off her. He was dumbstruck as to how beautiful she looked. She was putting on a long red dress which matched with the colour of his tie. The dress had a slit which revealed a bit of her long tanned legs. He was amazed at the curves he saw. Though the dress showed a little cleavage, it showed it decently. He was so damn proud of her and couldn’t wait to show her off to the world tonight.
“So I take it that you had fun at the event?” Eric asked on their way home.“Honestly, I did.” She smiled at him. “I was expecting it to be boring but it wasn’t.”The rest of the drive was silent. Annie slept halfway through. She woke up when Eric pulled up in his estate. Annie was in awe as she took in the surroundings. The whole estate was screaming money. It was a new estate, one could tell by the look of it. Sure only billionaire
The last thing Eric remembered before they fell asleep was him wrapping his arms around Annie’s waist and Annie snuggling closer to him.He woke up when he felt her untangling herself from him. She didn’t do it gently but with force and ran into his bathroom and what followed was the sound of Annie puking her guts out.He got down from the bed and went to check on her. He saw her kneeling in front of the toilet, her face in the toilet bowl.
“You shouldn’t have bothered hon. You know I’ll do it when I come back.” Nora said as she entered the kitchen with three grocery bags and a wobbling Nano behind her.“Honestly I didn’t want to but Annie wanted us to do the dishes together.” He pointed to Annie who was wiping her hand with a napkin.“Hi.” Annie greeted Nora.Nora smiled at the sweet child who had captured her son’s heart. After placing the grocery bags on the kitchen counter, She approached Annie and pulled her into a hug.“It’s nice to finally meet you, my child. Eric has told me so much about you. I hope you and this little one (She pointed at her belly) are doing great.”“Yes, ma’am. We’re fine.” She replied politely.“Quit the formality dear. You’re like a daughter to me now. You can call me Nora.”Annie nodded. She felt something tugging her leg; she looked down and saw it was Nano. She smiled and picked him up. He licked her face then cuddled against her chest. She smiled at him as she caressed his body lovingly.
“Mind your language, Lucia!” Evelyn countered.Laura noticed Annie went pale, even though she was confused as to what was going on, afraid that Annie would pass out, she went to her and held her cold hands in hers.“Come on mom, don’t tell me you believe the thing she’s carrying in her belly is my brother’s child?” Lucia said harshly which made Annie’s eyes moist.
The drive home was very quiet as Annie and Eric were drowned in their thoughts. She stole glances at him on many occasions but she could not tell if he was angry because his expression was plain.Eric had been acting strange since they had dinner. He didn’t talk much and when he was asked questions he gave a one-word answer.She could not help but wonder if Eric was mad at her because he somehow discovered the truth. Tears welled up in her eyes at the thought of him be
“Perfect, you’re awake.” Eric smiled as he peeped into the room.“Good morning.” She yawned.Eric walked in, took a seat beside her and kissed her forehead.“Feeling better?”
It was a sunny Friday afternoon; just a little over one pm. Eric finished his meeting with his new investors, returned to his office to go over the notes his secretary made. He was distracted when his phone started ringing; he looked at the caller id and saw that it was his mom. A small smile crept to his lips. It has been a while since he heard from her.“Hi, mom.” He said to the other side.“Eric Christian Ivan-James. I thought I raised you better than th
One month later.After much contemplation, Annie decided to give in to Eric’s plea and move in with him. It was a hard decision as she liked being independent but she decided to take the risk because of the love she has for Eric and besides, his mansion was more suitable to raise their baby.
