Anthony's pov
****************
The morning I was supposed to go to Elena's house, I developed cold feet and anxiety. I was worried her parents might reject me even though we were expecting a child together, I however willed myself to go and at the same time promised to make them accept me as their son-in-law.
I wasn't a bad or dangerous person, I had a job and loved their daughter so much it sometimes ached. With a positive mindset, I set off for her home.
They lived in one of the most expensive locations in Lagos, the rich, famous, and affluent families lived here. I didn't have a car so I used Uber instead, the road was smooth wi
Our wedding**************Elena's pov**************My morning sickness has abated a little and I can now hold my food without wanting to throw up. Anthony met with my parents the other day and all went well according to plan.Even though my mum threw some tantrums it was expected as it wasn't easy learning that your only child was pregnant out of wedlock. Though it was quite typical of her to throw tantrums at things she could not control, or change the outcome.Howe
This ain't right****************Anthony's pov****************I was angered by the way Elena's mother would not take my suggestions or accept my mother's help concerning the wedding planning even more angered when Elena found nothing wrong with it and waved my complaints aside.I started having doubts about the marriage, I smelt doom as Elena didn't have a mind of her own and agreed to all her mom's demands even if they were against her wishes.I began to lose
Making up his mind****************Narrators pov****************Anthony rushed to the hospital immediately after he received the call. It was a miracle that he got there in one piece.Before he walked into the hallway of the hospital, he stood still for a while to recollect his thoughts and take a deep breath; he was a bundle of nerves and needed to calm himself down before seeing his in-laws and wife.As he walked into the hospital, it was impossible to miss the glo
Complete*************Elena's pov**************I was grateful to be discharged from the hospital after the scare I had. I had felt an excruciating pain below my pelvis and feared I was having premature labor.It was around 2:45 am when I screamed and must have fainted because I couldn't remember anything from there on and when I woke up I found myself in a hospital bed.When my father walked in with Anthony, my eyes welled up with tears. I had not seen him since after ou
The twins****************Narrators pov****************The arrival of the twins brought untold joy to their parents who vowed within themselves to make their marriage work for the sake of their twins.Amidst tears of joy and kisses, the whole family rejoiced. Anthony's parents were also invited to share in the couple's joy and also to welcome their granddaughters home.Mrs. Badmus insisted on hosting a welcome home party, no stone was left unturned and the rich
Now or Never****************Anthony's pov****************I feel trapped in the mansion and barely function as the supposed head of my family. My wife never backs me up, especially against her mum. who had found it pleasurable to go against my every decision?Firstly it was where we would stay as a couple which I later agreed to her demands because of my children.Then she wanted to change the names I and my wife had chosen for our twins to her own choice. I re
Decided****************Narrators pov***************"Over my dead body, Anthony. You won't take my daughter away from me." Elena's mum yelled, ever since she got wind of Anthony's decision she had cursed him nonstop and as usual, Elena did nothing to salvage the situation except for her father who tried to talk sense into his wife's head, but all was in vain."She is my wife too, mother," Anthony said calmly, the atmosphere in the room was electrified with anger and frustration. No one was listening to the other, the food on the table was left u
Unbreak my heart**************Elena's pov**************My heart is broken, I feel shattered and incomplete. In one day I lost both my husband and my child.There are no words capable of explaining my heartbreak, for the past three days since Anthony walked out of my life with Emma my second twin, a part of me, died."You mean he left with Emma to Liberia," Father asked repeatedly.
