The moment Lucas and Miya walked into their living room, the love and concern on her man's face turned into a rage and Miya realized that she had just entered a trap. She tried to smile to help soften his icy expression, yet no matter how wide and sweet her smile was, it could not melt the haughty stare Lucas gave her.
“Who was the guy that brought you home?” Lucas lashed out.
Miya felt scared because she knew whenever her husband's voice was loud to such an extent, there was no way she would escape the pain that awaited her at the end.
“He is just some random stranger that was kind enough to offer me a drive home. I swear that's all he is to me.” Miya said in a voice as low as a whisper.
At this point, all she wanted was to smooth the rage of jealousy she could see in his eyes and make him notice that she had always been faithful to him. However, Miya knew that she had a slim
The next day, Chloe woke up feeling bluer than she was yesterday. Steven had not been answering her calls, and Chloe wanted to know why.However, what she really wanted to know was the identity of the lady who was with Steven in his car the night of her dinner with Matt, and Steven avoiding her calls just made her more anxious about everything.It took Chloe days to gain enough nerve to determine on visiting Steven again, and today she decided to talk to him face to face.Within a few minutes, Chloe was ready. She headed downstairs and took a seat at the dining table without saying a word to her family. It was not an issue since Mr. Wanton was still mad at Chloe for wanting to get back with Steven, Mrs. Wanton did not say much to her daughter these days since her husband had not let go of his anger, Fefe was still acting like a brat, and Chloe did not want to have anything to do with any of them.Bre
Julie grew nervous as the cold air blew against her legs as she sat next to Jennie on a bench in the hospital's outdoor garden. She could not get her mind to focus on anything except what she had previously seen.Julie wanted so badly to give Steven the benefit of the doubt and believed that he loved her enough to not return to the arms of his ex. However, her past did not allow her to get far in trusting her boyfriend.“You look bothered, and I can see how much you love him from how stressed your eyes look. Wait, is Steven your first love?” Jennie asked when she saw how worried Julie's face appeared.“Uh? Oh no, Steven is not my first love. However, he is the second person that I have decided to give my heart to and allow myself to love him unconditionally.” Julie softly replied.She then gazed away from Jennie and focused her attention on the bright sunflowers that had
“Excuse me, sir. Are you ordering from the menu?” The waitress said as she looked down at Steven.Steven took one last look at the menu before he laid it down on the peach table cloth and turned toward the waitress.“I will have cornbread and tea.” He said.The waitress then turned her head and focused on Chloe, who remained seated opposite Steven.“How about you, miss? Can I get you anything?” She asked.Chloe gazed at Steven, who was not paying much attention to her, then looked back at the waitress.“I will have the same thing he had order.” Chloe replied.After the waitress left to get their order, Steven and Chloe sat in their seats quietly as they waited for the next person to say something. However, neither of them spoke until the waitress came back, served their food, and left them a
Two weeks later, Miya took the bus to get to the hospital to avoid the incident that happened between her and her husband the other day. So far, they had not spoken many words to each other since the day of their argument. Lucas did not stop his smoking and drinking, but that was not Miya's primary focus. She had been feeling a bit weird in recent times, and she could not wait to meet with doctor Christina to give her the results that she had been eager to hear for weeks. Miya felt afraid to do the home test since she was reluctant to find out the report on her own.After a few minutes, Miya got seated in the Dr. office, and she nervously stared at Doctor Christina. "Good morning, Miya. How are you feeling on this beautiful day?" The Dr. said."I feel good, but I have been experiencing an increased need to urinate, and I have been feeling a bit nauseous in the morning these past days. I did not want to assume that I am pregnant or take the pregnancy test until I met with you." Miya
It has been exactly eight weeks since Miya's last visit to Dr. Christina's office, and today she had another visit to the hospital. She and Lucas had forgotten about their fight.Nonetheless, they had interacted little in the past few months because Luca was not thrilled that she was pregnant, nor cared to ask how her pregnancy was coming along or showed concern for their unborn child over the months.Lucas had never been of much help to her during the past few days. So Miya was kind of shocked when he offered to take her to the hospital. Yet she did not make any fuss about his offer since she was not in the mood for an argument.She and Lucas sat in his car as he drove her to the hospital, and none of them felt like talking. Miya kept her eyes focused on the window. She had her right hand resting on her tummy. Although her stomach was not huge yet, she almost certainly felt pregnant on the inside.
Lucas pulled over and stopped in the hospital parking lot. Then he rested back against his seat."Are you not coming in?" Miya asked when she saw Lucas closing his eyes.She knew that the answer to her question was clear, yet she still had a bit of hope that she would get a different response."Why should I come inside? I am not the one pregnant." Lucas replied with his eyes still shut."But Dr. Christina told me the other day over the phone that she will be performing an ultrasound today. Don't you want to see the kid?" Miya said as she tried to sound calm even though she was getting pretty upset inside."I will see it when it comes out. It's not even completely formed yet, so what's the point of seeing it?" Lucas stated with less care in his words and more arrogance."Okay, then. See you later." Miya stated.She bit her lip and he
"Hello, Dr. Christina." Miya softly utters when she enters the doctor's office before shutting the door.Christina smiled and signaled her to take a seat, so she approached the desk and sat down in the chair."How are you doing today, Miya?" Christina asked as she stared at Miya with gentle eyes."Except for my boobs feeling sore, me regularly feeling tired, the morning sickness, me having vivid and strange dreams, the stomach cramps, me developing an uncanny sense of smell, and all the other thing that comes with being pregnant, I am doing pretty well today, doc. Thank you for asking." Miya said with a jovial expression."Haha, the joy of entering motherhood. Where is your husband?" Dr. Christina asked when she noticed that Miya was alone."Ho, he's waiting in the car. Lucas is not a big fan of hospital smells, so I told him to stay in the car." Miya said as she tried to force a
"Triplets?" Chris shouted as he drove into the hospital parking lot.He was almost at the hospital when he got a call from doctor Christina. The moment he answered, she told him the news."Yes, Mr. Ash. Miya is pregnant with triplets for your friend Jackson." Christina's voice echoed through the phone speaker."That's good!" Chris said with excitement."Mr. Ash, not to be disrespectful, but I don't think this situation is good. Miya is happy about this news because she believes that the kids belong to her husband. Yet I am deceiving her.""Then what should we do? Tell her the truth and have her abort the kids or go through with your original plan? However, these two plans end with these children dying, and that's not what we want. Right, Doc?""Yes, Mr. Ash.""Okay! Since we are on the same page. I will be awaiting more updates from you."
