“Welcome back from your honeymoon, Mrs. Logan.” Ruby said happily with her voice filled with excitement, obviously trying to piss my mother-in-law and her squad.“Thank you so much, ruby.” I said as I got closer to the living room.Logan dropped me off and returned to pick someone he forgot in his office. I was so happy to be back but seeing Chi-saun again wasn’t as I planned.“Mother.” I felt it was the right thing to do thus I greeted her.“You are back.” She said calmly in a rhetorical tone and I nodded, still surprised that she didn’t sound disgusted.”We are in need of hands, good thing you're back.” She said seriously, my facial expression dropped in surprise.“What?” I almost gasped as my gaze danced from Chi-saun back to her.“As you can see, your senior wife is pregnant and the doctor made a note that she must not be stressed. We will need your help in terms of preparing breakfast and whatever she craves, not excluding arranging her room and washing her laundry.” My mother-in
“I will be working with the Customer Service Team this week.” I announced to every staff member sitting in the spacious workspace.“Can you all identify yourself?” I questioned politely and some people started standing from their seats.“I’m Angel.” One of the team members said. “I’m Jake.” Another commented. “I’m Chloe.” Someone else said.They continued introducing and I found out that there were about ten in the team, I rubbed my forehead with a deep sigh.“I will accept just five people who can give me snappy reports.” I said, taking a look at their job performance list again.“Chloe step out, Jake follow, Henry join, Maxwell and Sarah. That’s all.” I closed the file and gave it back to Agnes after I finished calling them out.“Let’s go. Mr. Darwin already prepared an office for our usage.We settled after an hour and everyone faced their laptops, I was sitting at the front facing them. My desk was covered with files and laptop, it was time to work as this was why I was here.“Hen
I saw her eyes, I saw her facial expression and I knew she was in disbelief but I needed every action that would impress her that I have moved on from her even when it seemed hard from the start."Nice to meet you." Reina made the first move, stretching her hand out for a handshake.Amber was reluctant until her husband shook Reina."Nice to meet you, Reina. You're pretty." He complimented her and she blushed."I'm happy for you, Liam." Amber said, sounding disinterested. I thought she wanted me to move on, how come she doesn't look happy for my success?"We will let you enjoy your time." Logan crossed his hand at her waist, I swallowed hard, gradually forming a fist. "Enjoy your night." He said and she nodded, flashing me a smile before entering their car.I sighed heavily and couldn't take my eyes off them until Reina touched me."Babe, are you okay?" Reina asked softly."Yes, I'm." I cleared my throat and squeezed out a smile."You seem to know that lady." She figured rhetorically
After so much bugging, my mother in law succeeded in winning me over to go shopping with Chi-saun. I tried not to be bothered by all her actions, as she constantly played the role of a pregnant woman.I rolled the shopping cart as Chi-saun picked whatever she wanted and dropped into the cart.“Mother, I think I need to go for a check up.” Chi-saun said, rubbing her hand on her stomach.“Have you made an appointment with the doctor?” My mother-in-law said sweetly, she would never sound this way to me.I tried not to indulge in their conversation cause it slowly pissing me off“Are we done here?” I asked trying to ruin their mother and daughter lovey dovey moment“Oh! You are with us?” My mother-in-law haven a brow, sounding rhetorical as though she wasn’t expecting me to be with them.“Seriously?” I sighed heavily, trying to be calm. “Look here, I’m here because you ask me to. If you don’t want me here, let me know and I will leave.” I spilled bluntly, staring at them seriously.All th
I invited Isabella and Mia over the next day. Since there was truly no maid, I did the cooking with Ruby’s little assistant as Logan’s mother wouldn’t let her stay at a place.I finished preparing some light breakfast and returned to the kitchen to clean up when Ruby came in.“Miss. Amber.” She called me and I turned.“Are they here?” I raised a brow, asking anxiously.“Yes, they are in the living room.” She said and I nodded.“Let me finish with this, I will meet them shortly.” I said and attempted to continue but she quickly stopped me, slowly taking off the hand glove from my hands.“I will take it up from here.” She smiled mischievously and chased me from the kitchen.I laughed at the one that fit as I went to meet my guests in the living room.“Mia and Isabella!” I gushed, feeling so happy to see them and they stood from the armchair.“You are here.” We exchanged warm embraces.“Let’s head to the dining room. I have already prepared something.” I suggested it with a smile on my f
I ran into the hospital like a mad dog that had been let loose in search of my wife. After hearing the news from my mother who was reluctant to inform me about it, I didn’t hesitate to rush to the hospital.“I’m looking for my wife…” My voice was bickering and I was so impatient.“What’s the name?” The nurse questioned politely and as I was about to respond to her, someone called me.“Master.” I turned to see Ruby waving at me, she approached me.”Where is Amber?” I didn’t know when I grabbed her arms.“She… she is still in the emergency room.” Ruby stuttered, her voice was filled with hurt.“The ER? Was it so serious?” She led me to the waiting area and I saw Mia and Isabella with her. Neither my mother or Chi-saun was there which annoyed me.I knew mother didn’t like Amber but she shouldn’t be so selfish when it was a matter of death and life.“What happened to Amber?” I asked her sister and friends calmly, they sighed as they faced me.“Chi-saun was nitpicking her when suddenly she
I walked into the room and placed my hand on my stomach. The doctor's words were still surprising me.“I’m pregnant.” I scoffed, shaking my head in disbelief. I wasn’t expecting such news not now and never.Thinking back to the previous, I wasn’t expecting my mother to come today since I just heard the news. There would be a lot of pressure with my mother-in-law and mother on one roof and I must be prepared for some actions.I know my mother so well and she was not the type that visits without a heads up, I think she already knows that something is going on and I don’t want her to get on the bad side of Logan.Suddenly, there was a knock on my door and it pulled open. I turned around and it was my mother, I swallowed and kept on a strong facade.“Mom.” She approached me, squeezing out a bright smile with all her wrinkles folding up.It dawned on me that my mother was getting old.“What are you doing here?” I asked, she grabbed my hands and cupped them into hers.“I have heard everyth
Unlike how I presumed the date to be like, it was the complete opposite. Reina and Logan made sure Liam and I were comfortable. We discussed something farther away from our lives and by the time we realized it, none of us were willing to discuss our personal life.It was great that I wished time never flew as it did. The meal and the time spent with Liam and Reina was worth it.Who would have thought that Liam will settle with a woman like her. Cheerful, compassionate, and jovial. There was no boring moment with her as we were talking every second.Yeah, I felt a little thrown at the edge by the way Liam lauded her but fortunately, there was Logan who was beside me; caressing and making sure I didn’t feel empty or jealous.There was nothing to feel jealous about.I held Logan’s arm and leaned on his chest as we walked into the main living room. It was already late and we weren’t planning on seeing anyone but that was where I got the whole thing wrong.“Amber.” My mother called out to
