Wyoming woke up to a full bladder and got out of bed, carefully peeling the arm Cayden wrapped on her waist before she trudged the carpeted floor on the way to the bathroom.
She took a leak feeling uncomfortable around her pelvic area and a tenderness in her breast. Before she went back to bed, she thought of something and went to the bedside table where she put her phone last night.
Wyoming picked up the phone, powered it, and started swiping until she found what she was looking for - her period tracker. Upon seeing the date, she realized that it was almost that time of the month which explains the cramps around her lower abdomen and her cravings.
Before she took the phone down, she also checked the time, noting that it was still too early she got back into bed and snuggled close to Cayden, who in turn instinctively opened his arms to make room for her.
She laid her head on his chest, circling an arm to his waist to find a
When his chartered plane landed, Cayden sat rigidly on his seat. His detailed security stood waiting for him to disembark, but he did not seem to find the strength to move.“Sir, we have landed.” He ignored the flight attendant when she told him and continued staring off into space. To be honest he had mixed feelings about this.When he first got the tip, all he thought was to get the answers he needed. Now that he was here, he was hesitating and he knew why as thoughts of Wyoming flitted through his mind.She had been so peaceful earlier - happy and secure in their relationship. But now, he was about to break her happiness and trust. And the feeling was not good.It bothered him a lot.He had never lied to her except now. Technically, this was not lying. He only omitted to tell her things, and this bothered him.“Sir?” The head of h
Wyoming was on the way to the photo shoot when she felt nauseated.She rubbed her temples, feeling her stomach lurch unexpectedly. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead as she tried hard to stifle the vomit. But at the last minute found herself unable to control the bile that rose to her throat and asked Teddy to park on the nearest service road.The moment the car stopped, she alighted from the car, almost running in her haste, and emptied the contents of her stomach. She repeatedly retched until nothing was left but saliva, tasting like acid on her tongue.“Are you alright?” Marie asked, rubbing her back soothingly in an up-and-down motion.She did not realize that Marie followed her out.&n
“Did you know about being pregnant?’ Alicia asked after the doctor bade them goodbye to continue doing his morning round.Wyoming shook her head no, but when she thought about it, the news did not entirely surprise her. A soft smile curled her lips, thinking about how she and Cayden spent their nights after their impromptu second wedding.She felt a thrill course through her body at the knowledge that she and Cayden had created a life. Now, their marriage is complete. While happy thoughts consumed Wyoming, Alicia watched her daughter pityingly - an involuntarily sigh escaping her lips, knowing the circumstance behind her daughter and Cayden’s marriage.“Are you going to tell Cayden?” Her softly spoken words snapped Wyoming out of her daze, bestowing her mother with a dazzling smile that radiates from within. It was a no-brainer for anyone to think that Wyoming was
Cayden was on the warpath when he went to his grandfather’s mansion. A butler met him at the main door, but he ignored his greeting, striding inside, almost running in his haste.He took the stairs in quick strides, only allowing himself to stop when he reached the second-floor landing, his chest heaving profusely from exertion and anger.He took deep breaths to fill his lungs with air, and when he finally got enough, he walked to his grandfather’s room in quick strides. He did not bother to knock. He twisted the knob open and pushed his way in, surprising his grandfather, who was lounging on his settee with a nurse looking after him.“Cayden, you did not inform me that you are coming.” Noah Ellish, though registering a look of surprise on his face, did not let on as he said in his usual commanding voice. His shoulders tensed when he noted the angry expression on his grandson's face.
“You wanted to say something.” Cayden folded his hands and placed them atop the table before focusing his gaze on his best friend.James mimicked his friend’s pose and asked confidentially, “Supposing Wyoming is pregnant, who will you choose?” James watched as contradicting emotions flitted on Cayden’s face. He looked conflicted, but after a while, his best friend shook his head no and looked him squarely in the eye.“Don’t try to muddle my mind with what ifs. It could not take another beating. It had been battered enough since finding out about Tori’s condition and how grandpa drove her off.” Cayden told James earlier about what he learned - how his grandfather used his money to pay off Tori to leave.“Besides, it would be too early to tell if Wyoming is pregnant,” Cayden said as if convincing himself of the impossibility of getting Wy
Wyoming woke up feeling like a truck ran her over. She wanted to sleep some more, but could not ignore her bladder’s call for release.She groaned in protest when she forced herself to get up from bed, trudging her way to the bathroom to relieve herself.She was still half-asleep when she felt a queasy feeling around her stomach, making it lurch. Bile rose through her throat. She quickly put her panties on and went to the sink to throw up.When she felt that she already vomited the entire contents of her stomach, she wiped her mouth and opened the tap to gurgle water.Once down, she walked slowly back to the bedroom, feeling tired and spent.She climbed back to bed, noticing that the other side hadn’t been slept on. She took her phone and looked at the time. It’s two o’clock in the morning. She then swiped her messages and checked whether Cayden sent her a message, but there was non
Marcus told Alicia about the confrontation between Noah and Cayden, causing the former another trip to the emergency room for chest pains. Noah informed Marcus earlier that Cayden was determined to marry Tori at all costs. Now, he’s telling her. “What about my daughter?” Alicia asked, her face full of concern.She got off Marcus’s embrace and paced the floor, guilty for throwing her daughter to Cayden and worried, too. Maybe if she did not put Wyoming’s name on the list of eligible ladies to become Cayden’s replacement bride, Cayden would not choose her. Her daughter would not suffer this heartache.“I shouldn’t have done that.” Regret laced her voice.Marcus stood up and tenderly wrapped his arms around his wife’s waist in a silent offer of comfort, which the latter accepted without complaints.Alicia took strength from Marcus
It took Cayden an hour before he reached their home.When he got inside their room, Wyoming was already waiting for him. She was looking outside the window, her back to the door.When she heard the knob turn, she did not immediately turn around. Only when Cayden walked to her back and dropped a kiss on her cheek did she finally have the courage to face him.“Where have you been?” She asked and instantly saw the guilty look in his eyes.Cayden did not incline to answer. He did not know why but he felt that he was not ready to tell her things concerning Tori.He remembered James’s point-blank quest
