The House That Was Never Home

Alvara

I sat on the back of the moving car with Adrian, going for our honeymoon after the wedding.

His parents gave us a penthouse as our wedding gift, and that's where we will live, and also have our honeymoon.

I can't believe what happened this past week. I can't believe I'm pregnant and now married to Adrian. Everything happened so fast that I can't help but think if this was the right decision.

I've not had a conversation with Adrian since the day his parents concluded we will get married, I have tried to talk to him, looked for a way to talk to me but he kept avoiding me, and he has become so cold towards me.

I never wanted any of this, but then there's no way my mother will allow me to become a single mother, how will she be able to cater for me and my younger brother?.

I looked at Adrian, his eyes were shut, and his ears blocked with earbuds.

I debated on touching him, to talk to him , but I dismissed the Idea, we will probably talk when we get home.

I stepped down and looked around the house, I can't believe I will be living here, I can't believe this will be my new home.

Everything is happening so fast.

I hurried after Adrian as he walked into the house, he turned to me immediately we got inside.

“ This house has a lot of rooms and spaces, if you really want to live in peace here, make sure you don't show your face to me, I don't want to see you or anything that looks like you in my space,if not you will regret knowing me” he snapped at me and climbed upstairs.

I tried to cry but I held myself, I won't allow that, I will not cry for him .

I cleaned the tears that rolled down my face and climbed upstairs too, I have to look for my room.

Since our stuff got here yesterday, I'm sure everything must have been arranged in our different rooms.

I finally found my room, I entered and sat on the bed, looking around and resting my bones.

The ringing of my phone woke me up, I woke up confused , I was so tired that I had slept off, I checked and it was my mom.

“ How are you settling in”? She asked worriedly

“ Just fine mom”

“ You should have allowed me to come with you, at least for today, to help you settle in”.

“ That's not necessary mom, I have been depending on you my whole life, I'm married now and I will soon be a mother, I have to start learning how to take care of myself and family”.

“ I don't care, you're my baby, I have to take care of you, so you will take care of your own family”.

“ Okay mom” I said smiling, giving in to her, you can never win her over things like this.

“ What about Leo, is he there”?

“ No, he just went out”

“ Okay mom, bye I need to go”.

“ Please take care of yourself, and do not hesitate to call me if you need anything, I'm always available”.

“ Why would I possibly need anything from you mom, I'm married now, I have my own family”

“ Just make sure you call me everyday, okay?”

“ Alright mom, I will take care”.

I hung up to face reality.

I walked down to the kitchen after bathing and freshening up to go look for what to eat, I can't believe it's night already, I guess I really slept for a very long time.

I have been craving spaghetti with tomato sauce, paired with meatballs and grilled chicken, one of my favorite foods.

I entered the kitchen, and thankfully it was stocked up.

I sat on the dining table, devouring my food like I hadn't eaten for weeks when I heard a knock on the door. I wasn't expecting anyone, as a matter of fact my family haven't been here yet.

I stood up confused at the door, I opened it and I saw a beautiful lady standing there with some baggage.

“ Hello, how can I help you”? I was confused.

She laughed out loud, she continued laughing for a long time but eventually stopped, then she looked at me condensingly.

“ You? , you mean you can help me? "She asked mockingly.

“ Come on, get the hell out of my way ”. She pushed me away and entered the house.

I tried to talk to her but Adrian came down from his room,then she ran to him, hugging him so tightly, after hugging he kissed her deeply too.

I stood watching everything going on, my chest tightened so hard that I feared I might faint.

“ Adrian, what is going on? Who is she? What are you doing”? I asked him walking towards them.

The lady laughed loudly .

“ And who or what gave the right to question me? When did that start”? He asked, walking towards me.

“ I have told you, if you want to have peace in this house, do not come to my space, I shouldn't see you close to me or my guests, do not, I repeat do not ever in your miserable life question me again”. He barked at me.

He walked back to the lady, took her hand and walked to his room .

I stood trying to process what just happened, what Adrian just said to me, I thought he loves me, but it's clearly obvious he doesn't.

I dragged my legs to my room, I sat on my bed crying my heart out.

I can't believe I was deceived, I believed him, I believed his words.

Now I'm the only one that has to suffer for it , to suffer for our actions.

No matter what happens I must protect my child and give him all the love I can.

********

The constant knock on my door woke me up the next morning, what could be going on?.

I walked to the door and opened it and it was the devil that came last night.

“ Why the hell are you still sleeping by this time? Aren't you supposed to make breakfast ”? She snapped at me.

“ And why will I be making breakfast for you”? I asked her

“ Because you're a maid, have you forgotten that? You're a maid who seduced her boss and tried to tie him down with pregnancy”. She responded

I hissed loudly at her.

“ Well,I do not have your time ” I told her and tried to close the door but she held it with her leg.

“ You've got some nerve, haven't you”?

She asked then started calling out for Adrian.

He came out moments later.

“ What is it”? He asked

“ Look at the time, and she's still sleeping, I need to have my breakfast, I'm hungry”.

She told him.

“ And why aren't you going to make breakfast ”?

“ Because I'm not her maid” I said angrily

“ The last time I checked you were one” she snapped back at me .

“ Well I was, but not anymore, I can't cook for the lady my husband is sleeping with”.

“ Don't you dare! In your stupid and miserable life, address me as your husband again, the next time you try it, I will show you the other side of me and you will be surprised. "!! He growled at me.

I flinched with the way he talked to me, my chest hurts so bad, but I will never allow them see the weak side of me.

“ Hey babe, let's go,I can't eat anything she makes though, so let's go order” He told her, holding her waist.

I looked away, trying so hard not to look at them.

“ If you want to have peace here, respect yourself, I know why I keep warning you, respect yourself, do not be in a rush, because I will deal with you so hard, that you will regret all this, you will regret not removing that thing, you will end up running out of this house,I promise you that, do not be in a hurry, because I have a lot in store for you ” He said to me coldly that I can feel the anger and hatred from each word.

I clutched my stomach

“Nothing will happen to you, my child.

I will protect you with everything I hold dear, I will hold on no matter what , so please hold on to me tightly because this won't be an easy journey for us ” .

I spoke to my baby, even though I know he can't hear me, but I needed to do that, this is going to be a long war, and I will fight with everything, for the sake of my child.

Nothing will break me

  • HIS COLD DENIAL: Love After Divorce    Chapter 8

    A Moment Of Normalcy AlvaraThe sunlight filtered into the room, unfamiliar but comforting. I opened my eyes slowly, letting it wash over me, warming my face in a way I hadn’t felt in weeks. Then it hit me, I was actually in my mother’s house, not the tiny quarters I had grown up in. This house wasn’t ours either; it had been given to us by the Vales before the wedding, a secret space to hide their househelps from prying eyes. A place to make sure we were under constant watch. We knew better, this house was never truly ours.I stood immediately and checked the bedsheets, relief flooding me when I saw no stain, no sign of trauma. My baby was safe. My hands trembled slightly, and I pressed one to my stomach, willing the tiny life inside me to stay calm and safe. I had spent weeks fighting fear and nausea, battling fatigue that left me trembling, and the thought of losing it all here made my chest tighten.After freshening up, I stepped out to see my family. My mother hummed in the kit

  • HIS COLD DENIAL: Love After Divorce    Chapter 7

    This Was My Survival Alvara I woke up before anyone else.The room was still dark, the curtains barely letting in the early morning light, but sleep had already abandoned me. Slowly, carefully, I pushed myself up from the bed, my heart already pounding before I even looked down.Instinctively, I checked the bedsheets again.No blood.Relief washed over me, but it was shallow and fleeting. The fear didn’t leave. It never did. It sat in my chest like a weight, heavy and unmoving, reminding me that nothing here was ever truly safe.I pressed a hand against my stomach, breathing slowly, deliberately, as though any sudden movement might shatter what little peace I had.“It’s okay,” I whispered. “I’m here. I’ve got you.”I didn’t know who I was trying to convince, myself or the life growing inside me.My body felt weak, drained, like it no longer fully belonged to me. But my mind was strangely alert, sharp, as if I were standing guard over something precious. Like a soldier who knew dang

    When My Body Spoke First AlvaraI stood frozen at the edge of the bed, staring at the stained bedsheets as though they were staring back at me.Red.Not bright. Not fresh. But unmistakable.My hands trembled as I lifted the corner of the sheet, my breath coming in short, uneven bursts. My heart pounded so loudly I was sure it would wake the entire house. I pressed a hand to my chest, then slowly to my lower abdomen.Nothing.No cramps.No sharp pain.No warning.Just fear, raw, choking fear.I checked myself again and again, as though the answer would change if I looked hard enough. My body felt normal, frighteningly so. That scared me more than pain ever could.What should I do?Scream?Pretend this wasn’t happening?Call someone?My mind raced, spiraling through every terrible possibility. I thought of Adrian, and the idea vanished almost immediately. No. That would never happen. I knew better than that.Mrs. Seraphina?The thought made my stomach twist. No, she was the worst optio

    Blood Before Morning AlvaraI slid down until I was sitting on the cold floor, my back pressed hard against the side of the bed, my knees drawn tightly to my chest as if I could fold myself small enough to disappear. The tiles were icy beneath my bare legs, but I welcomed the chill, it grounded me, kept me from falling apart completely.I counted my breaths carefully.One.Two.Three.If I didn’t, I knew the sobs would tear out of me, loud and uncontrollable, echoing through the walls of a house that already felt like a prison. I couldn’t let them hear me break. I couldn’t give anyone that satisfaction.So this had always been the plan.The realization settled slowly, painfully, like poison spreading through my veins. Adrian had never intended to keep me. Not for love. Not for partnership. Not even for the child growing inside me. His parents had never wanted me either. The hurried wedding, the forced smiles for the cameras, the sudden concern about my health, it was all a performan

  • HIS COLD DENIAL: Love After Divorce    Chapter 4

    Watched Not Loved AlvaraIt was a new week.The kind of week that was supposed to come with hope, beginnings, maybe even joy. Today, I was meant to start my antenatal care, something every pregnant woman looked forward to, something that should have been shared between a husband and wife. A moment where hands were held, reassurances whispered, smiles exchanged.Instead, I woke up late.The realization hit me like a slap. I had planned to rise early, to prepare myself calmly, to steady my nerves before stepping into another unfamiliar phase of my life. But exhaustion had pulled me under like a relentless tide, dragging me into a deep, dreamless sleep.When my eyes flew open, panic seized me instantly.I was already running behind.I threw the covers aside and rushed out of bed, my movements clumsy, my body heavier than it used to be. My limbs felt sluggish, uncooperative, like they no longer belonged to me. Halfway to the bathroom, nausea struck with brutal force. My stomach twisted v

  • HIS COLD DENIAL: Love After Divorce    Chapter 3

    A Bride In Name Only AlvaraI locked the door behind me and leaned against it, my back pressed to the cold wood as my chest rose and fell unevenly. For a moment, I just stood there, breathing, trying to steady myself, trying to understand how my life had tilted so drastically in such a short time.The silence of the room pressed in on me.Not the comforting kind.This one felt deliberate. Heavy. Like the house itself was watching, waiting.I moved slowly back to the bed and sat at the edge, my hands folded in my lap as everything that had happened replayed itself in my mind. Adrian’s voice. His indifference. The way his eyes had looked through me instead of at me. The way the walls here didn’t echo laughter or warmth, only emptiness.The house felt cold.Too quiet. Too big. Too empty.I was truly alone here.This wasn’t what marriage was supposed to be. This wasn’t the kind of marriage my parents had shared, the kind built on patience, partnership, and shared struggles. This place wa
