I returned home in a terrible and sour mood from the hospital. And adding to my misery, Mason didn't let me breathe and as usual had his way with me. I wondered when I was going to be free from him. I knew I needed support. There was no way I could do this alone. Recollecting how because of me Patricia almost lost her life. And I didn't want to put anyone in danger for my own selfishness. I wondered at what point in my life I became so weak and submissive. I wasn't like this before but it was just Mason had a hold on me. He controlled me and I hated to accept that this was the truth. I was busy in the kitchen cooking some breakfast when Rosalind walked in. It had been a week since she arrived and I made sure to stay far away from her. She didn't give any good vibes and screamed red flags. She did try to get close to Mason in these last week but the man never gave her the attention. Somehow deep inside me I wished he did so he would leave me alone and in peace. “I want an omelet wit
“Let me help you with that Mrs De Luan.” I heard the doctor behind me. She was rushing towards my side making me to panick more than I already was. “...No it's fine.” I was quick to grab the pregnancy kit first and shoved it in the bag before she reached me. She helped me in picking up the vitamins while I picked up the painkillers. My head was hurting now.I smiled her way and thanked her. She was a young doctor. She was older than me. Probably in her late twenties OT early thirties. But she had a kind heart. That I could see. I stood up to my feet and thanked her before heading to my room. I threw the bag on the bed after removing the pregnancy test out. I looked at the instructions before my heart pounded like crazy. I silently prayed once I looked up at the ceiling. My eyes clasped closed and I murmured a brief and short prayer. I wanted the result to be negative or I was done for. With that I stepped into the bathroom and did the procedure. I sat on the toilet seat for five min
I shuddered and rested more on my chair. I felt myself shrinking slowly into the chair as the truth flooded before my eyes. I was pregnant. I didn't know how to feel. “Congratulations Mrs De Luan. You must be ecstatic...” I looked up to meet her smile slowly disappearing as she met my feared expression. “Is something the matter Mrs De Luan? You don't look happy.” Emma asked softly while I remained silent. My eyes then went towards the door. Mason was behind that door. Under any circumstances did I want him to find out like this. He deserved to know that he was going to be a father but I couldn't tell him like this. Dropping a bomb about this on him will send me straight to my grave sooner than later. My heart began to pick up a rapid pace and my hands suddenly slided down to my belly. I had a life growing inside of me. A life that could be affected by the emotions I felt. I didn't know much about pregnancies and babies but I knew this much that a mother's feelings whether positive o
“Are you maybe pregnant Sierra?” I froze on the spot and stared at her blankly. She gave me a narrowed look of suspicion. I opened my mouth slowly to speak. I wondered whether to tell her or not. I already had this feeling that I could trust her. I thought to say but heard footsteps before Mason's voice boomed into the living area.“Of course not Mrs Ford. My wife isn't pregnant.” My heartbeat quickened and immediately closed my mouth. I immediately tried acting all natural. Mrs Ford swung her head from Mason back to me. “Don't you want to have kids Sierra?”I spared a glance at Mason before choosing the right words to say. Of course I couldn't blurt out about my pregnancy in front of Mason like this. “Of course I do Diana. But...”“We've hired a surrogacy for that Mrs Ford. As you can see my wife doesn't want to go through the stress of nine months and hence we decided to opt for surrogacy when we're ready.” Mason walked towards me and sat by my side. Mr Ford also sat next to Diana a
My eyes squinted at a sudden light trying it's best to peek into my sleepy closed eyes. I stirred before groaning in annoyance. The light didn't seem to dim but got brighter penetrating and disturbing my sleep. I hadn't slept this much since the incident two days ago. That day tormented me and I couldn't move for two days. Seeing her all smiling with her idiot husband in front of the cameras made me realize the bitter truth. Her belly was also starting to show a bit and one could tell she was happy from miles and miles away. Did that mean she had lied to me. “Fuck!” I growled more before grabbing my pillow to place over my head before I popped my eyes wide open at the sound of her voice. Was I hallucinating or did I just hear her voice. “Rise and shine.” Fuck I was loosing my mind right now. “Mason? Are you up?” The voice came again. I threw the pillow and looked behind me narrowing my eyes a bit as I adjust to the brightness of my room. I blinked and looked at the woman standing i
“I don't love you anymore Mason!”My body shooked violently and I gulped with widened eyes. I stared blankly towards the wall in front of me. My hold on her arm quickly loosened and fell towards my side. Silence filled the space. I stood there without moving except the shooking from my body. I completely froze.I heard her tiny whimperings but my body was too numb to even move nor say anything. I heard her whisper something under hear breath. Am so sorry. I heard her say before I heard the door leading to the outside of the restroom. She ran out. I stood there for a few minutes. Her sharp words echoed and drummed inside my head. It didn't seem to leave me and I blinked coming back to reality. My harsh reality. One where no woman could ever truly love me because of my ties and connections with my family's mafia.Maria knew about my ambitions. She knew everything I wanted to achieve. And she was damn cool with it. What changed all of a sudden. I clenched my jaw and swiftly rushed out o
I didn't know if I sounded cheesy but I did want him to believe my words. Only I knew what was going on within my guts as I confessed I wanted to stay with him. My stomach had a massive flip and I held myself from putting up a tight face of someone about to puke. But this was the only way I saw to keep my baby safe. The thought did come into my head but I shooked the weird thought away. But again his stern warning about not having any kids rang in my ears forcing me to take this decision right now. He blinked but didn't let his emotions show on his face. He kept his expression all neutral that I was beginning to think if my acting was being seen through by him. He deeply stared at me and I felt his intense gaze looking through my clothes and directly into my soul. It was creepy but I kept my stance giving him my best smiles.In an instant he shoved me away and stormed out of my room. I blinked wondering why he left suddenly but I sighed out in relief. I closed my door and stared dow
“How dare you Mason De Luan?!”“Am so sorry sir. I tried to stop her from barging in.” My scared heavy breathing secretary rushed into my office afterwards clutching her hands against the door frame as she catched her breath. I smiled resting comfortably with my back being soothed by my relaxing comfy chair. I turned my eyes from Maria towards my secretary. “It's fine Betty. I'll take it from here.” I said calmly and Betty nodded giving Maria a weird look before slowly closing my door behind her as she stepped out of my office. I rested my gaze towards Maria who didn't stop clenching her jaw. I guessed she was now paying the price for having decided to throw me out like an unwanted dog. “Why did you do this Mason? How low would you stoop just to satisfy your sick feelings?” She spat out and I immediately frowned not liking her tone of voice with me one bit right now. “If you won't talk to me nicely then I can have security kick you out like a stray dog but I don't think that would
