The blaring horn made the maid quickly scamper to her duty post, I had to check if that was Adrian. I took cautious steps walking slowly to the living room window through which you can view the gate.

The car drove in and from the reckless driving, I knew it was Adrian. My heart suddenly began to race; I tried so hard to control myself, but the more I tried the more nervous I got.

I was still at the window when Adrian alighted from the car with his suitcase and headed for the main entrance. I contemplated what to do. “Should I wait for him here and stop him immediately when he steps in?” I murmured. “No! I'm not bold enough to do that” I shrugged, discarding the thought instantly.

Before I could come up with a better idea, the main entrance door flung open making my heart skip a beat. Adrian walked in and headed for his room at once without even noticing me.

I heaved a sigh of relief. It then dawned on me that I was scared of Adrian, I hated myself for that. But fear will do nothing bu

    JENNY POVThe end of the childbirth process was when the nurses started the clean-up process. But this was done very calmly, smooth and soothing movements. Removing the monitoring equipment and IV from my veins was done very carefully not to hurt me even a bit. One nurse assisted me to change into a comfortable gown while the other helped in cleaning and sanitizing the place.The nurse paired with the fact that they had warm blankets for a short time, finally helping me get all settled into a cozy position so that I could focus on bonding with my baby instead of all the discomfort that was right now.In everything, I was assured by the touch and tongue of a lovely nurse. They narrated each step as they went along so that I was not in the dark as to what was happening. All inquiries were answered, displaying both professional demeanor and compassionate understanding as they assisted me in this special moment.The nurse so gently patronized me as they said "All cleaned up and comfortabl

    JENNY POVGradually, the contractions would intensify in favor of a continuous flow of distress. Pain was remembering my existence, crashing into me like tidal waves crashing onto shores. "Ahhh!" I screamed with the waves bouncing off the walls, and my body stiffened up. The nurses rushed toward me with rapid movements, swiftly connecting me with monitors and IV fluids. The doctor was there; his voice kept me grounded through everything, but my attention was seriously diverted by the pain.It felt like my body was being torn apart: every contraction was a burning sensation that left me gasping for breath in between. I clutched the bed rails white-knuckle tight with tension, throwing myself into that pain environment-yelling at the top of my lungs. "You're doing great, just breathe," encouraged the lovely voices of the nurses. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. There was nothing to do except suffer this indescribable torment.The voice of the doctor piped through the haze: "The baby

    JENNY POVNow we were journeying towards the hospital, the contractions growing more intense each moment. Suddenly we heard a loud sound burst outside our car-this sound was the jarring and very unsettling "boarrrr." The noise seemed to be emanating from our car, and before we could even collect our thoughts, the startled vehicle came to a sudden halt. I was still where I was when contraction hit me again, the pain so incredible that I felt that it was as if my whole body were being squeezed in a vice, coupled with the sharp stabbing sensation that started from my lower back to my abdomen and made it difficult to breathe.Adrian emerged quickly from the car, his worried face no doubt made worse by the inexplicable stop. He proceeded to walk around to the front of the automobile, eyes busy searching the dashboard and engine. "What's wrong?" I began straining the voice with anxiety and catching my breath between contractions. Clearly conveyed into my heartbeat was anxiety; uncertainty a

    JENNY PIVMy screams cupped their ears with my own? I felt as though slipping off her control, being drowned in an abyss of excruciation. In an out-of-focus view, Adrian was leaning towards me in, eyes staring at me with such burning intensity of concern. His "What is going on?" sounded firm but buried in the undertones of fear, almost as though a threat to his self-control amid my torment. As if the pain refused to let me say anything, anything to his question, with the moment slowly refining into a blur.Adrian's hands held my powerless body, soothing me, but it didn't work; there was no soothing to be found. All I could feel was pain - pain so great, so consuming, so enormous. I felt like I was becoming lost, that I was passing away; that somehow losing consciousness would shield me from that horrible agony tearing through me.''Adrian's face was hardly an inch or two away from mine, and his eyes were now fixed on mine, as though filled with desperate concern. `Baby, please, what's

    JENNY POVFurious banging outside sounded louder and louder as Grace wrapped her fists against the door. It was as if each strike manifested her anger physically through the evening air. "My love, please take it easy," Jenny said hardly above a whisper, turning to me and causing me concern. Concerned, Anna's eyes pleaded with mine; she seemed to search for tranquility amid a brewing storm."Adrian said to me, 'My love, I need to speak some sense into Grace'." Adrian, in his authoritative yet soothing voice, said, "Adrian said to me with a much softer voice: 'My love, I need to speak some sense into Grace.'"Not to say another word, Adrian walked toward the gate, determined and purposeful in his steps. Closely followed by me, heart banging loud in my ears, like the drums in a primitive ritual. Grace was truly filled with rage, and tension. My own simmering emotions almost boiled to the surface, ready to erupt at any moment.And again the sound of her beating grew louder; it insisted, a

    CHAPTER245JENNY POVLooking at me, completely aghast, Grace's eyes widened with her smile. "Oh, yes," she said. "I have been watching you two for quite some time. I know about the little marriage you have with each other and I know how you both can drive a wedge into each other's side."Adrian's expression was like dusk, with his eyes blazing out all his pent-up wrath. "Touch her and your death will be at your door," he commanded.She chuckled gleefully, "Oh, but you have. I've been your model servant, pretending all along, just biding my time to strike and watch the disarray of your union as your history unfolds."I shivered at her words. Was this marriage truly in danger? Would Grace really fracture everything we had built together?Grace's words made me miserable with indecision. Surely, she wouldn't have done that. I looked towards Adrian to see how this would have affected him, but his face reflected no such expression- it had a strict seriousness."You will not lift a finger to
