Ruhi was climbing down the stairs around 6.30 AM the next morning to buy pregnancy kits when Rafael noticed her. He had returned from the gym and showered by then. It surprised him to see her wake up so early on a weekend. She usually struggled to get up with a dozen alarms on weekdays. He constantly heard her snooze the alarm while he walked to his room from the gym, study, or when going down to eat breakfast. She was still in her nightclothes. But he heard her talking to Oreo, saying she will be back soon when the dog followed her to the front door. "Ruhi, hold on." He went down the stairs in a flash and saw her look at him like he was the last thing she wanted to see. She changed her opinion when her eyes fell on his shirtless body, with water still dripping down from his damp hair. 'Is he trying to seduce me out in the open?' She wondered and looked toward the kitchen to see if Ms. Myers could see them. She wa

"Oh, look! She's alive." Sarah swung around in her chair, calling for Brittany's attention when Ruhi walked to her cubicle. "Oh, my God! What happened to you? You missed so much on Friday!" "I... I wasn't feeling well. Why? What happened on Friday?" "I think the boss is open for all of us to hit on. He banged some chick in the middle of the day. Looks like his relationship with his wife is officially done done!" Brittany explained. "Or he doesn't care at all what anyone thinks about him anymore. He never encouraged his secretary's flirting and was always careful to protect his relationship when he was with Alisha." Sarah added. "Alisha is hotter than his secretary. And we are all hotter than his wife. But Khloe said he looked devoted to his wife when she was here." "Unfaithful men will bang anything, even if they have a hot girlfriend. He was committed to them, his ex and then his soon-to-be wife. Now he is not anymore becaus

"Positive?!" Ruhi stared at the double lines in disbelief."Positive again. How is this happening, Oreo?""Fuck!!" She tossed the sticks when the third one showed positive too. It was already 10 AM, and she had a meeting with Rafael at 11 AM. The initial idea was to tell him about her moving out plan sooner or later during the day, depending on how his mood was. But now she had to see his reaction about her pregnancy too.She struggled to focus on her daily business and breakfast, wondering if he would want the baby aborted. She didn't want to be pregnant, but the thought that he might want the baby gone angered her.It started drizzling lightly when she went down to the kitchen to get her morning coffee. She saw her grandma on the other end of the front yard and walked over, debating if she should ask her what would be the best thing to do, now that she was pregnant."Oh, didn't know you were still at home. Antonio wanted to

A feeling of helplessness washed over Ruhi as she walked out of the event room. She headed to the bathroom as large tears pooled in her eyes when she thought about Rafael with some other woman."Mira!" She tried to avoid whoever it was, but her coworker called her again and followed her."There you are. We are heading to the memorial hallway, wanna join?" Sarah asked her while the others were going downstairs to the hallway. It was a place filled with large portraits of Francesca in her ballerina costume. Antonio had bought the hotel after her death and had the hallway dedicated to her.Ruhi decided it was better to go with her coworkers than crying in the bathroom and coming out with bloodshot eyes and ruined makeup."What's the matter? You okay?""Oh yeah, totally. That crab dip was super spicy, made me tear up." She carefully wiped the tiny droplets at the corner of her eyes with her finger and followed Sarah.   "But

Both the dogs came out running as Rafael dropped Ruhi to her feet and locked the front door. "What the hell, guys? She left you. Aren't feeling even a tiny bit mad at her?" He asked his dogs, but they ignored him and rubbed their noses against Ruhi's knees. "Aww, I missed you guys. You are soo soft but you never sit next to me." She said to Chunky Monkey and hugged him. "So now you come to me? After I left the house... you are just like an asshole I know." The dog licked her ear and woofed at Rafael."Enough you two. Off you go! She's mine." He picked Ruhi off the floor and pulled her close."No, I'm not!" She turned and hurried to the door, but he caged her between his arms. His breath fanning her cheek brought prickles all over her skin, and her body ached with need.She wondered if people were hornier at this stage of their pregnancy or because it had been a while. Her body put up a tough fight against her willpower, with t
