"We're going to the hospital, okay?" Erland looked at Maelie with hopeful looks.Maelie sighed deeply, distancing herself from Erland by lying down with her back turned to him."I hate hospitals," she whispered."But you need to go to the hospital..." Erland held Maelie's beautiful but cold feet and gently massaged them. "Come on... Don't you want the best for our baby? I know you're a good mother... You won't keep suffering, you love our baby.""I know, but I really don't like hospitals... I won't be able to sleep well, and I don't like medication either... And if you follow me to the hospital, what if your family finds out about your possible affair?" Maelie said anxiously. "I'm worried they'll track your whereabouts because you left the party abruptly. That would be really bad.""No one will be able to track me, not even my father."Maelie let out a rough breath, then lay down and looked at Erland beneath her, considering him and remembering how Tiffany had been so eager for his at
At 7 a.m., Reno, Nevada.Tiffany lazed around in her hotel room, lost in thought, imagining Erland being with Maelie to the point of completely ignoring her.'He's just sweet to calm me down, then he hurts me again,' she thought, wiping away the tears that streamed down her cheeks. "It's Okay... I'll just stay silent now. But don't blame me if my retaliation hurts more than this... I swear, you two won't be able to be together again!" she said angrily, her eyes filled with vengeance until they shifted to the open door.Rosalia entered the room with a worried look, approaching Tiffany sitting on the bed."Sweetie, are you okay?" she asked."Yeah, I just feel nauseous and dizzy," Tiffany replied with a thin smile, but in her heart, she thought, 'Of course I'm not okay... Your damn son left me just like that just to be with that damn whore!'"Where's Erland?""Uh... He... He left early in the morning for work. He had a breakfast appointment with a client to discuss work."Rosalia furrowe
Erland stood, leaning against the door frame, watching Dr. Han examine Maelie's pregnancy in the special room he had prepared for all health-related matters."I think I miscalculated," Dr. Han said, looking at the monitor displaying the situation inside the womb.Erland approached, furrowing his brow, and Maelie looked concerned."What happened?" Maelie asked."Umm... Don't worry, it's not something bad," Dr. Han, wearing a grey suit and a white coat, replied confidently. "From what I see here, your pregnancy is around 16 weeks, and there is more than one baby, that's why hence the baby bump," he continued.Erland's eyes widened, but he smiled slowly, while Maelie was stunned, unable to speak."That's why you've been feeling weak... You're carrying twins, so the burden is twice as much as carrying one baby," Dr. Han explained. "But this is good news... They're growing well, and you should focus on their growth so they develop normally without any issues, and the same goes for you," he
Maelie exited the examination room with Erland and was immediately greeted by Amanda while Leo remained on the sofa."What did the doctor say, is everything okay?" Amanda asked with a worried look.Erland smiled and hugged Maelie from the side."Nothing bad, but actually, we got some good news," he said, then kissed Maelie's temple. "We're having twins... And it turns out she's already about 16 weeks pregnant."Suddenly Leo choked and coughed upon hearing the announcement, causing them to look at him in surprise."Leo, you okay?" Amanda inquired.Leo nodded with a sheepish smile. "I'm just surprised she's having twins. That's amazing, and the babies are going to be adorable!" he said with a grin.Amanda smiled and looked back at her sister."Congratulations... Don't worry, I'll help you take care of them," she said, embracing Maelie after Erland stepped away to give them space.Maelie remained silent, smiling thinly as if still uncomfortable."You should rest in the room, don't overth
Erland arrived at Reno and was immediately greeted by Thomas before entering his room. Somewhat nervously, he faced his father, fearing he would be interrogated about what he did last night."Actually, I know you left Tiffany alone here last night," Thomas said with a flat gaze. "Where did you actually go? How important was your business outside compared to your wife who needed you?"Erland remained silent with anxiety, wanting to express what he truly felt but remembering his promise to Maelie to be fair for the sake of peace."What could be more important than your wife?" Thomas asked again."Nothing..." Erland shook his head, then glanced in a random direction and leaned against the wall. "I just wanted to find peace.""I thought your peace came from your wife.""No... Not.""What do you mean?" Thomas asked with a serious look, studying Erland who seemed reluctant to speak.Erland sighed, feeling suffocated like he wanted to burst."Tell me!" Thomas insisted."I don't love her anym
At home, Maelie felt so lonely that she chose to relax on the side terrace while playing with her phone, and watching funny videos about twin babies."Ma'am."The voice diverted her attention. She turned, seeing Sussane approaching with a tray carrying a glass of juice."I made avocado juice for you," Sussane said with a smile, placing the juice on the table next to Maelie. "Some people say it's good for pregnancy," she added."Thank you," Maelie replied, immediately taking a sip of the juice. "Mmm, this is delicious."Sussane just smiled, slightly nodding her head."Sit down, maybe we can talk," Maelie said.Shyly, Sussane sat in the chair across from Maelie. She fell silent, observing her employer's slightly bulging belly, especially now wearing a tight nightgown with open sleeves that looked sexy and elegant."I heard from your conversation with your sister... You're going to have twins," she said."Yes, that's right." Maelie smiled."It's truly amazing news. I'm so happy for you."
Several days passed...Nights at precisely 10 o'clock, Erland saw Tiffany already asleep, so he took advantage of the opportunity to contact Maelie. The man rose from the bed slowly, then walked out of the room and into the study.He locked the door, then retrieved his phone from beneath the cabinet and brought it to the black sofa."Huh, finally..." He sighed, sitting back on the sofa while activating his phone."Tomorrow I'll return without telling her," he said to himself, imagining Maelie's beautiful face and immediately contacting her once his phone was successfully activated."Hello?"Erland smiled warmly upon hearing his second wife's voice."Hey, Baby. Are you okay now? What are you doing there?" he immediately inquired."I'm fine," Maelie replied, sounding calm. "Seems like you're enjoying your time there so much that...""I hate it here, and honestly, I feel tortured!" Erland interjected before Maelie could finish her sentence. He quickly switched the call to a video call an
At 9 in the morning...As usual, Maelie went through her morning routine by doing yoga, following an instructor on her laptop, and listening to music echoing in the sports room. She looked hot and maternal, wearing shorts and a gray half-tank top that revealed her slightly bulging belly, then tied up all her hair."Okay, take a deep breath and exhale slowly," she said, sitting cross-legged, staring at the mirror until her gaze fell on a figure standing at the doorway."Erland!" She immediately turned, finding Erland smiling at her, then approaching her.With some difficulty, she stood up to greet her husband, who hugged her right away and then kissed her cheek."Oh my God... are you kidding me!" She released her husband's embrace and looked at him in astonishment."What?" Erland smiled, furrowing his brow."How did you get here?" Maelie asked, recalling the long flight from New York to Sacramento, about 5 hours."Last night after we talked, I immediately asked my private jet crew to a
