CHAPTER TWO

Selene's POV

My eyes were beginning to close by themselves. Slowly and with a downcast expression, I stood up from where I sat.

When I got to my room, I lay on the bed. Fresh tears welled up in my eyes _ I drowned in them as I wet my pillows.

Since the arrival of this girl, my pillow has absorbed many tears from my eyes and I don't even know when this would stop. There was absolutely nothing I could do.

I could lose my husband forever. This thought startled me and my cries intensified.

I held tightly on my stomach, I recalled the doctor's serious warning not to allow any stress in my condition, but here I was, getting shattered in tears.

A few minutes later, I was welcomed into darkness, finally drifted off to sleep.

---------------

I woke up yawning and stretching wildly with migraine on the left side of my head. I winced in pain.

The severe tears I shed last night was responsible for this.

I hissed coming down from the bed.

When I got to my living room, my eyes were met with Emma arranging the dinning.

I checked the time and it was past 7, I always told her to sleep enough till 8 before she wake up but it was obvious she had woken up since 5am judging from this several dishes on the dinning table.

"Emma," I called, my eyes on her.

"But I told you not to wake up by 5am anymore?" I muttered.

"Yes ma'am, you seemed too sad yesterday, that's why I decided to wake up early and make your most favorites." Emma muttered, my heart softened at her words.

Emma had always been a lovely girl. I had met her when she was doing waitress job at a cafeteria. I watched her get sacked and thrown out by her boss.

My heart ached at her helplessness, and that time I needed someone in my home. Ethan was always out for work, leaving me all alone in the house till his closing time before he would return, and he wouldn't let me work either.

For that, I gave it a thought and brought Emma into my home. She had been a good girl and I had never regretted taking her in.

"Alright Emma dear, thank you so much." I muttered softly and took a seat at the dinning.

I had no appetite, I wasn't in the mood to put anything into my stomach. Ethan didn't come back home last night and he wouldn't come this morning. Dull ache settled in my chest. I needed my husband back. This girl had got to release my husband to me else I lose my mind soon.

"Ma'am please, try to eat something." Emma jolted me back from my several thoughts.

At this point, I had no choice, I picked up the bread toast she had placed at my front and started eating.

It was indeed delicious. I commended Emma and she went back to the kitchen.

Few minutes later, my phone began ringing.

When I checked the screen, it was Ethan again, meaning he wouldn't still come home this morning, or maybe today as a whole.

With my chest heavy and fist tightened, I picked up the call. Then came his voice. "Selene." He muttered, I nodded my head.

"Are you there?" He muttered again. But I was still quite, there was something in his voice. Something I was trying to place my hand upon but couldn't, was it panic or urgency? What was going on with him?

"Selene!" He called again. This time, his voice above normal tone.

"You're still not coming home, right?" I muttered, my voice low and my fist tightened even harder.

"I need you to come to the hospital now!" He voiced, his tone deep and indeed filled with panic. What was wrong with him, I stood up from where I sat, my legs wobbled. What had happened to my husband. Adrenaline boosted in my system.

"What happened to you Ethan, why are you at a hospital?" I asked, bead of sweat forming at my forehead.

"It's not me Selene, it's Kayla, she fainted." Ethan muttered and my shoulder slumped. He had made me scared for his mistress.

I bit on my lower lip.

"Sorry about that, but what does that has to do with me? Why should I come to the hospital?"

"Come here now!" He yelled and ended the call.

I stood puzzled. This was too much and getting out of hand now. Here I was pregnant and nauseous, he wasn’t giving me any attention, in fact he didn't spare me any moment to inform him I was pregnant with his baby. I was also sick and needed his attention, but he had prioritize his ex above everything that had to do with me.

But then, he was still my husband, I wouldn’t do anything to get him pissed. Hence I stood up. Wearing one of my flower fitted gown, I was ready to leave.

Not long after, the taxi stopped in front of the hospital.

Just as soon as I dropped from the taxi, my eyes were met with Ethan. He looked stressed and scared. My chest ached with immense pain, how could Ethan care for this girl so much? I could feel his heart want to drop. He had diverted all the love he used to give me to this b!tch.

Just then, he sighted me and began walking in large strides towards me. This made me more puzzled. Why was I important here? Why was he coming to me as if I'm the one to make her better? Why does it look like I have to show mercy for her to wake up?
