“Hun, don’t joke with me. How could that be?” I asked as I stood up and walked around the kitchen area. Alex and a maid looked at me with questioning eyes. It must confuse them why I suddenly became hysterical that morning.“One more month? Then, what I have to do? I am confused,” I answered while biting my nails. It has become one of my bad habits.“So, I have to go to the bridal house this afternoon. Oh okay. Will you be there?” I asked. It seemed I threw a lot of questions.“Alright. I will wait for Mia and go with her. Have a nice day, bye.” I hung up the phone, then jumped up and shouted, “Yay!”Alex and the maid smiled, even though they did not know what I was celebrating. My eyes twinkled, and my lips smiled widely. Finally, what I’ve been dreaming of has come true. I’ve always dreamed of being a bride, wearing a white ball gown and walking down the aisle. A man who would become my husband stood in front of the altar looking at me with eyes full of love. Even though this was a c

“Will the whole family be there? Did your whole family know that I used to work at Pleasure Brothel?” I asked while putting on a serious face and letting go of Samuel’s hug. I felt uncomfortable.No, I wouldn’t let this ruin our first night. Tonight was supposed to be a joyous night. And I would not let his family problems affect our happiness. Samuel’s happiness was my priority.Samuel pulled me back closer to him and hugged me tighter. Before answering, he kissed my forehead. “Forgive me. If with this marriage you have to suffer, I’m ready to accept all the risks. To be honest, I just want you to be happy, but I’m not as strong as other people see. My extended family interferes too much and I can’t afford to ignore grandpa. It is he who has taken care of me for several years, even though he did not take part in my process of achieving success. And one thing you should know is if grandpa already knows some information, then the whole family will know. But, don’t be afraid. I will alwa

After opening the door, we rushed out without looking back. I was used to being hurt, but that morning we were called only to be hurt for the umpteenth time. Was this the world of the rich? Hurt each other, envy, and hate. Seeing the contents of the clause in the document earlier made me sad and scared. Now, I have decided what was best for me. I didn’t want to be separated from Samuel and our future child. They would be the light and breath of my life. We would be together forever, weathering the storms in life. Samuel took my hand walking towards the exit of the mansion. We stared at each other without saying a word. However, we understood each other’s hearts and minds, maybe because we had the same frequency. Since the incident that morning, our relationship has grown stronger. Even though I knew little about the work of Samuel did, I supported him as much as I could, serving as his assistant at home, taking care of food and nutrition, arranging therapy and check-up schedules as

“What’s that?” I asked, frowning.Samuel looked me in the eye and smiled. “This is a pregnancy test kit. Dr. Robert asked me to accompany you to do this test and if the result is positive, then he wants us to come to the hospital tomorrow to do a follow-up test. Let’s do it right now because, according to Dr. Robert, the best time to do this test is in the morning when you just wake up. Ok?” he asked.How could I refuse? It was a big thing, and it was what we’d been waiting for. I couldn’t wait to see the result soon.“Ok, let’s do it,” I replied.“Hold my hand,” he said.We both help each other. Usually I was the one who helped him more, now he was the one who helped me more, even though his condition had not fully recovered. He was indeed the best man in my life.“Ouch, my head is so dizzy,” I winced while enduring the pain.“Then we can do it later.”“No, let’s do it now. Help me to the bathroom,” I begged.He carried me to the bathroom after that he helped me put off my shorts and

“Ok. Hurry and get dressed. I will wait in the dining room,” he said. He quickly stood up and walked out of the bedroom. That morning, my feelings were like a flower garden. My face was full of smiles. I got ready while humming a little. Not wanting to make Samuel wait too long, I rushed down to the first floor. After finishing breakfast, we rushed to the hospital. Leo had called and made an appointment with the obstetrician recommended by Dr. Robert. Our hearts beat fast enough, even though our feelings were happy. At the hospital, Samuel kept holding my hand and looking at me. I looked back at him with a smile, even though it was obvious this smile was forced. “Do not be nervous. Our child will be fine,” he said. “Yeah, it’s just that I can’t control this anxiety. Maybe this anxiety will disappear after the doctor checks my womb,” I replied. “Calm and relax, because you and our child are connected.” “Yes, you’re right. I’ve read about it,” I replied. “Sir, madam, we have arri
