LOGIN**After One Year**Aliyah stared at the little pregnancy test in her hand. Her heart pounded with anxiety… her hands trembled, but she kept her eyes fixed on it.They had been trying for a child. Their sex life… mind-blowing, yet every month still ended with the same disappointment … her period.Aliyah wanted to hold her child, to have a baby for the man she loved so much, proof of their love, and so Bethel would have a playmate.“It’s almost time,” Aliyah whispered to herself.This would be different. She had been feeling so tired lately and all… so this must be it. Their baby was growing inside her and—Aliyah’s thoughts were cut off as the single line reflected boldly on the stick.She tried hard to keep her tears from falling. “Maybe it isn’t five minutes yet,” she tried to convince herself, but deep down she knew she had been standing in front of the bathroom mirror for more than five minutes.With shaky hands, she placed the stick on the sink. She pulled her phone from her short
**Flash Back “Oh! No!” Juliet exclaimed in defeated as she tried in vain to zip up her dress.She had particularly picked the dress that has its zipper in front and still it wouldn't fit her.“Not again.” She murmured as she pulled off the dress, standing before the mirror with just her bra and panties, she examined herself.Did she look bigger than before?She twirled slowly before the mirror, she didn't really see anything that stood out, just that maybe her stomach was a little bigger than before, but it shouldn't have been able to cause her this problem.Suddenly, she felt like crying and before she could stop herself, tears gathered in her eyes.“Charming!” She called and almost immediately she could hear her husband's footsteps approaching the room.“Hey,” He said as his eyes landed on her exposed sexy body, his lips pulled into a mischievous smile as he stood behind her and then wrapped his arms around her.He kissed her neck, “I just have to pull my pants and we did move to t
Flashback*“Ma’am, you are right there is definitely something odd about Fiona.” Wilson said as he and Roscoe took their seats before Aliyah.Roscoe added, “And she definitely doesn't like it that you are back.”Interesting.“She -”Aliyah smiled, “She likes my husband.” She said the words before Roscoe could.The men looked surprised.“You knew?” Wilson asked.Aliyah nodded, “Ofcourse. I knew right from the hospital. It was pretty obvious. She didn't hide it well enough.”“And also, thinking about it now.” Wilson started, “It all makes sense because during the month you weren't around, Fiona wore dresses that were tight and short especially when we have meetings with Boss.” He shook his head, he should have known, he didn't know she was someone like that.“She also always volunteered to work with him, especially when they would be alone. When I have errands to run.” Wilson added.Aliyah balled her fists, “So, I have to fight off Fiona and Natalia. Oh well.” Aliyah released a bitter l
Aliyah rolled her eyes, her lips in a smile, “She has a lover, Romero.” She looked up at him and his expression was so gloomy, “oh gracious! This man!” she laughed and opened her arms, he leaned in and hugged her.“The only man I love is Romero Kingsley. My King. My babe and my darling.” She muttered softly in his ears, “So strong and so delicious.” Her hands roamed his body.“Ocean.” His voice filled with desire, his hand was about to go underneath the gown when the door opened again, “Who the fuck!” Wilson and Roscoe paused in their steps, both exchanged glances… right.. bad timing.“You are still standing?” Romero bit out, still in the arms of his wife.Aliyah laughed and pulled away from her husband who looked so displeased and stared daggers at the younger men who looked scared.“What's the update?” Aliyah asked.“Vance and Sabrina's plane has taken off.” Roscoe answered.“And I heard there is the highest chance of positive feedback from Old Wealth and Boss will surely be gettin
Romero balled his fists so much that they crack… He felt like strangling Natalia right this moment. If she was before him, or appeared any where near him, he was sure he would really hurt her.“Fuck!” Romero breathed heavily as he ran his hands through this hair… waiting for the past five minutes was messing with his mind.Fucking bitch! Natalia has slapped his Ocean, she had hit her head and fainted. What if her head is damaged? What if her brain..?“Buddy.” Red called, pulling Romero out of his thoughts. Romero stared at his best friend who held his shoulder and gave it a little squeeze, “She will be fine. They will be fine.”Romero nodded with a smile. He could hear the shake in his friend's voice … he was also scared because Juliet, his wife, had also suddenly screamed in pain.They heard the sound of approaching footsteps, they lifted their gazes to see it was the one of the doctors and two other nurses who had earlier attended to them.They both rushed to their feet, meeting
Aliyah’s pointed finger rested on the person seated between Roscoe and Wilson and that was Fiona, Wilson’s assistant.“What?!” Romero exclaimed in shock, staring at Fiona, who looked just as confused as everyone else or rather tired to look confused.All eyes moved from Aliyah to Fiona, then back to Aliyah.Natalia steadied her trembling hands and let out a forced laugh. “What are you talking about? You sound like you’ve gone mad or something.”Aliyah smiled. “Mad? I don’t think so.”Aliyah clicked her mouse again, and several images appeared on the screen. They showed Natalia standing beside a younger woman, her secretary.Aliyah turned to the panel. “This is Cecelia Romans. She worked with Miss Hayes for many years.” Then she faced the audience, her gaze landing on Valerie. “Valerie, please stand up.”Valerie Malvern nodded and rose to her feet. Aliyah gave her stepsister a small smile, which Valerie returned.“Do you recognize the person standing here?” Aliyah asked, pointing at Fi
