YVONNE — We had just finished eating our breakfast, and I was in my room dressing when Amanda walked in. "I could not remember you telling me you had an appointment today, Yvonne," she remarked. "Not really, dear. It's just that I had been having some unfamiliar feelings since early morning when I woke up, so I chose to visit a hospital and have some tests to find out what the issue is," I replied without even looking at her. I was busy wearing my shoes. "Really?" she said, rolling her lips with two of her fingers. "May I know how you have been feeling? Are you feeling a headache?" She asked me, but I shook my head. "What then?" she went on asking. "Honestly, Amanda I can't tell what it really is," I said, letting out a sigh. "I woke up today earlier than I used to and started feeling nauseated. I had vomited two times already, even before any of you could wake up. It was after I took boiled water that it managed to assuage it," I explained. "Really?" she snorted, her eyes wide
YVONNE — Ten minutes later, he walked out of the laboratory, holding a paper in his hand and his face filled with a smile. "Congratulations, ma'am. You are pregnant," the doctor remarked. "What? Pregnant?" I exclaimed in shock. My face suddenly frowned. "Of course, madam. You should be happy, of course," he replied, looking worried. "Or was it an unexpected pregnancy? Are you done giving birth?" The doctor asked me, trying to figure out what could have made me feel sad upon hearing the news the majority of couples out there are praying to hear. "Uhm, it's okay, doctor. I was actually surprised because, truly, I did not expect it. I'm so happy about this," I remarked, forcing out a smile. I pretended to be happy, but deep down, I was wallowing in thought. Mr. Thomas had been giving me green light that he liked me, but there is no way he is going to accept me with this pregnancy. He will definitely lose all the interest he has in me upon realizing this. "Once again, congrat
CONAN —"How did I end up this way? Was I under a spell or what? How could people always mess up with me and easily go away with it?" I wondered.I let out a sigh and adjusted my position on the bed. I reached out to the light switch and turned it on. Upon glancing at the wall clock, I realized that it was still midnight. It was two o'clock a.m."How do I endure this? How could I tell my mom that Yvonne had escaped from the pack with my babies? How do I tell the pack that my wife, whom I had just wed a few days ago, had run? How do I explain to them that there is no heir to take over from me upon my demise?" All these were the questions going on in my mind.In honesty, I feel like my own is gone. For the past two days, since Yvonne told me the shocking news on a phone call, I have not been my normal self anymore.I had been skipping meals and isolating myself from anyone, including the queen, my mom. However, I had lied to her and told her that Yvonne had spoken with me and told me sh
YVONNE —"This is all because I went to Moon Stone Pack. If not, this would not have happened," I whimpered, tears streaming down from my eyes."It's okay, Yvonne. I keep telling you to stop worrying about this," Amanda stated."I should stop worrying about this? You said I should stop worrying about this, forgetting what it would cost me. You forgot that I and Mr. Thomas had been getting along. How do you think he would feel if he heard about it?" I asked her, sucking a breath."Or should I lie to him and say that I was raped or what? Of course, it would worsen the situation because no sane person would believe that. I would have spoken up the moment it happened, but keeping quiet for a whole month means that I even enjoyed it, so it was a deliberate act," I remarked.She sighed and drew closer to me. "I understand that you are scared that Mr. Thomas might leave you, but you should not conclude yet. He might even be interested in having the child as his own. Don't conclude yet. You s
SOPHIA —"Andy, this is not fair. I had been trying my best to make things start going well between us, but you still chose to live this life. You hate me more and more as the days go by. At this moment, I could realize that the mere sight of me irritates you. What had I done wrong to you to deserve all these?" I cried as I saw Andy getting ready to leave the house for places best known to him."Look, girl. You should stop expecting me to pamper you as if you were a pet. I'm a full-grown man and deserve the right to live my life the way I want. What is the problem with going out? Or is it because I have been refusing to eat your meals? What really is the colour of your problem, Sophia?" He yelled at me."Really? So rejecting your woman's food is a sign to validate that you are a real man?" I asked him with so much pain in my heart."Feel free to say whatever you want, but mind you, I'm not going to eat any shit you cook in this house," he said, trying to wear his jacket and leave."Re
YVONNE — We had just finished eating our breakfast when my phone rang. I secretly glanced at it and ignored it because I thought it was a call from someone else who I did not want to answer in the presence of my kids. "Mommy, your phone is ringing. Why not pick it up?" Amelia asked. "Mommy, pick it up. Daddy could be the one calling. Perhaps he is off from work today and wants to visit us," Liam added, stretching out his hand to reach for the phone so he could pick it up on my behalf, but I quickly took the phone off the table so he could not get it. "Listen, I personally know why I chose to ignore this call, okay? And it was not your father calling. Rather, a business partner," I enunciated. "Okay, Mommy. We are sorry," Kiara stated, and they left the dining room for their room, leaving only me in the dining room. I sighed and heaved in pain. This past two days, Amanda has been absent from the house. It felt like it had been a decade already, and this was because of how de
YVONNE—I just finished bathing and coming out of the restroom. I was preparing for the date with Mr. Thomas at the Blue Gate Hotel, which is a few kilometres away from my house. It was the location where we agreed to meet.Fortunately, it went as I thought; the kids had just slept off, and I sneaked out of their room to bathe.I was still applying body moisturizing agents when I heard the sound of a door banging open. I peered through the security hole in my door, but I couldn't see anyone."What could this be?" I muttered, wondering what made the sound."Well, whatever caused the sound at first would definitely cause it again, and I will find out if it's human or animal because I'm certain that this is not hallucinating," I concluded and continued what I was doing.A few minutes later, I heard a voice that sounded like that of Amanda, and I quickly dashed out of my room to find out if it was truly her. Has she come back? I thought she said the excursion would take four days." I mumb
YVONNE —At the Blue Gate Hotel, I had just driven in and steered my car to the parking lot.As I walked out of the car, I sighed heavily, knowing that my visit here might either end badly or that Mr. Thomas might be disappointed because he would notice I'm pregnant."Oh, God. I just pray he does not do anything I did not expect here. I do not want him to catch me off guard. Let him not propose to me, please, because I cannot turn him down in an open space like this," I mumbled to myself.I gulped hard and took in another heavy breath."I do not want to accept a proposal that I will end up going back to him and start telling silly stories. Like telling him that I'm pregnant. Hell no, I do not want such a thing to happen between me and Mr. Thomas," I mumbled, summoning the courage to walk to a seat.A few minutes later, I sat down, and a black Bentley pulled up and parked just near my car."It must be him," my instincts told me.I fixed my gaze on the car, waiting for the driver to ope
