CHAPTER 46
I am on my way back to my office after going to a meeting with Andre to Elect Companies Limited.
When he drove me off home, two days ago after the dinner with his family, I walked out without saying a word to him. He tried to follow me but I told him to go home before slamming the door on his face.
At work, we don't talk to each other when alone, except when people are around. I feel bad for ignroing him but I am trying to do that because I really want to get rid of my feelings for him. I should talk to him and apologised for Saturday but I didn't because him being angry makes it easier to ignore him.
I miss talking to him, I miss his kisses.
When he is not around, I always feel like seeing him but when I see him, I will begin to feel angry for no reason. I try to blame it on my hormones but I know I'm more angry at myself for falling in love right out of a terrible relationship.

CHAPTER 47The ringing sound of my phone wakes me up from my sleep. I sit upright and rest my head on the headboard before picking the call. It is Rob calling."Hello sis", he greets."Robert, how are you?" I ask him. I have forgotten about the therapy I wanted to plan for him. Everything has been a little overwhelming. I feel bad. Why can't I just be a good sister for once? Rob is supposed to come this week and I am sure he is calling because I haven't called him. I promised to call him last week."I'm cool, sis. You still sleeping?""Yeah. But I'm awake now.""Erhhmm...Freya", he stutters. I know he has something to tell."What is it, Rob?""I'm no longer coming to visit you, Freya", his voice is down."What? Why? Is It because I didn't call as promised?""No, that's not it. I know why you want me to come.""Why?""I heard mom telling Johnson that you want me to meet with a therapist. It's no
CHAPTER 48Andre sees the look on my face and grabs the phone from me. He reads the message and he stares at me for a while before he says, "Let's go."He stands up holding my hand, I take a hold of my purse and follow him to the counter where he pays for the food before we leave. We walk outside to his car. He opens the door for me and asks me to get in, before he walks to the driver's seat.My mind is in turmoil. Why does Baxter like ruining my happy moments? Why can't he just let me be?"Freya?" He shakes me."Andre", I glance at his worried face."You have to calm down, love. It's ok. So I want you to breathe in and out, ok?"I nod and exhale deeply. I realize I am barely breathing."You don't need to panic.""Ok", I inhale and exhale again."Is it working?" He ask me.I shake my head. I'm still finding it hard to breathe properly. He place his hand on my waist and pull
CHAPTER 49I am in my room getting ready for my appointment with Doctor Billy when I hear Andre's car pulling over in the driveway. I am anxious. The doctor fixed another appointment for me so he can ascertain the actual sex of the baby.Now that Baxter is still claiming the baby is his and is talking about mailing me the court papers, how do I go about it? Even if Andre tells the court that the baby is his, a DNA test will be conducted and that will prove Baxter is the father of the child. That does not mean he has to have my baby.I will love my baby boy with everything. His father might be a monster but I am going to raise him up in the right way and make sure to protect him from his father. Baxter has no right to claim the baby as his and I am ready fight him till the end.I take a last look at myself in the mirror, staring at my little baby bump before I hear the knock at the front door. I move swiftly to the door and throw It open. Andre looks like someone
CHAPTER 50“No, no. It's fine” I quickly add."Are you serious?" He looks surprised that I am agreeing to go with him to his house. He doesn't know I want it too. I want to see him shirtless and comfortable in his own home. I want to see how he does his things and I want to sleep beside him on his bed and cuddle with him just like he does for me too."Yes, of course, as far as I will have something to eat over there", I reply to him."Waw!" He mutters and swirls the car round to go the other way. He is smiling to himself and his smiles seems to be contagious because I am smiling too."I'm not going to cook, that's one of the conditions", I am trying to play hard."Don't worry, I will cook. After all, I promised you a date", he answers me."What?" I didn't know he could cook. "You know how to cook? I thought you were going to order something or_""I will cook for you, beautiful.""Uhmm, really?""Really
CHAPTER 51After eating, I fall asleep cuddled around Andre. When I wake up, I find myself on Andre's bed with him beside me. We were on the couch when I originally fell asleep. The, continuous protest of my stomach woke me up. I am hungry again and I have the urge for a burger. I open my eyes to see Andre watching me with his right hand on his jaw and the left hand in my hair."Sleepyhead", he mutters when he sees me awake. I yawn."What is the time?""3pm", he answers. I don't know how to tell him that I am hungry again. I literally just ate. I shouldn't be thinking this much just because I want to ask for food.I move to seat up and say something when he hovers over me, placing my hand on his chest. I am lost as I stare back at his blue ocean eyes and rubbing my hands over his chest. He closes his eyes to enjoy the moment. I feel he enjoys me doing that. Touching him.
CHAPTER 52I see myself walking on an empty lane. I am alone. I see no one. Then I see a hand beckoning to me to come and a little child. I try to walk toward him but my legs are no longer moving, I am stuck to where I am standing. I try to run but I can't. There is a white fog all of a sudden and it is approaching me. It hits me hard, making me lose my breath. I scream as it pushes me to the edge, I can no longer see anything and I begin to scream again when I feel myself going low."No!"*****My eyes open and I see myself laying down with my face to the ceiling. Everywhere is white, including my clothing. I turn my head to the left side of the room to see my hand in bandage. I try to stand up but I can't.Where the hell am I? I ask no one in particular. I try to stand up but it is difficult for me to. My body is in pain and my head is pounding.I see Andre rushing in with a man in a white labcoat and a la
CHAPTER 53Even though I am grieving the death of my child, I am very much angry to see Mrs Smith and Julia. It is bringing back the memories of how they humiliated me the other day. What are they doing here? Are they here to laugh at me for losing my baby? If that is the case, I won't mind pulling their hair till they cry out. I do not care for the consequence. I do not care whether Andre finds it bad or good. I have had enough of humiliation and pain for a lifetime. I will no longer let anyone do what pleases them with me."Andre, can you excuse us?" Mrs Smith said Andre politely. She can be this polite? He didn't hesitate to move out, leaving me alone with his mom and sister. Julia's head is leaned forward, she is avoiding my eyes.Why are they asking Andre to excuse us? Are they here to get rid of me? Why the hell will Andre leave me with these two lioness? When Andre is out, Mrs Smith smiles at me b
CHAPTER 54The doctor comes in to talk to me. After crying myself to sleep yesterday when my mum came to visit. I am hoping this is going to be better news for me. I don't think I can take any more bad news.“Good morning Miss Standford” He greets with a smile. I force a smile and nod.“You will be leaving this afternoon. Just make sure to take your prescription and get a lot of rest” He explains.“She will do all of that. Thank you” Andre answers for.“With that being said, Mr Smith, I'll like you to come with me and sign the papers”. Andre leaves a kiss on my forehead.“I will be right back,” He says leaving. After what felt like hours he comes back and helps me pack up.Andre gives me a kiss on the cheek making me smile. He has been supportive for the past weeks since I have been admitted in the hospital. He barely goes to work and is always by my side, even thou
