Ivana woke up from her sleep when she heard the chirping of birds out in the sky. "Alas! I fell asleep last night while writing in my diary. Ugh what time is it? Oh shit! it's already seven. God no I'm late for my work."
After taking a quick shower, she put on her favourite white top and black pencil skirt that reaches up to her knees, skin stockings and a pair of black pencil heel. She put a pink lip balm on her cherry lips and mascara on her thick lashes, tiedvher hair into high ponytail and there she was all set to go to office.
She got her keys and locked the door of her apartment and headed towards her car. The car she's been using since last two years which she brought with the savings from her salary. Driving this car makes her feel proud and confident about herself.
After whatever she went through in her life, she struggled a lot for years in order to complete her studies. She worked as a tutor for ten students a day and studied all night in order to graduate. And today, here she is, IVANA WILLIAMS, the MANAGING HEAD of one of the company of the largest chain of groups of industries in the US, "THE MERCHANT GROUP OF INDUSTRIES."
She is the managing head of the "MERCHANT TEXTILE" which is one of the most contributing company under the MERCHANT GROUPS OF INDUSTRIES. After whatever she had to go through, she learnt how to keep patience and that was the most appreciated character of hers after her looks and beauty.
"Good morning ma'am."
"Good morning Mr. Wilson, how's your day going?"
"Very good ma'am. And I hope you're having a good day as well. Umm well these are the files of the proposals of six different industries which want to collaborate with us for the upcoming Fashion event next month showcasing our new products."
"Well I'll watch over them and let you know in an hour, you may leave now Mr. Wilson."
"Sure Ma'am."
"Mr. Wilson have you had your medicine for blood pressure that you should have on nine in the morning?"
"Yes ma'am I did. I'm just your personal assistant ma'am but I'm really overwhelmed with the care you showcase towards this old man."
"You're not only my personal assistant but my mentor. You've guided me through all these years about the business and through out the time. And also a teacher who taught me the tactics of business, surely I'd care for you. And for God's sake you're only fifty six, you'll be working with me for at least a decade or more so young man take care of yourself okay?"
Mr. Wilson felt warm in his heart from this kind of words from Ivana. With a huge smile on his face he replied, "Yes ma'am, I'll be back in an hour then."
Ivana then got engrossed in her work not until her stomach growled reminding her that she had nothing in the morning before coming up in the office. So she ordered for a coffee and sandwich and had it in hurry. Then she continued doing her work again.
Work is the only thing that diverts her mind from her pain. Therefore she always keeps herself busy with as much as work she can do.
IVANA'S POV:"Hey where's our birthday boy?" I asked as I entered Gold mansion with my dear husband, who was carrying gifts for our birthday boy."Well He's getting ready and his tantrums! God! I don't know how will he be in future when he's already so naughty and dramatic now." Miya sighed, shaking her head in helplessness."He'll be as charming as his daddy, isn't it Mat?" said Mark, coming down with our little birthday boy on his arms."Daddy, I'm a big boy now. Say my full name. Momma has kept such a sweet name for me, Mateo." said our little cutie pie Mateo in his cute baby voice grinning innocently who's celebrating his third birthday today."Happy birthday Mr. Mateo Gold." My hubby forwarded his hand towards him like a gentleman."Thanks, Mr. Machant" (as in Merchant) he said trying to shake his hand with him but all his attempts went in vain as his baby hand couldn't hold such big hand. Everyone laughed at his little attempt wh
IVANA'S POV:"Aww! Don't cry baby. You're my little angel, aren't you? Please baby, be a good girl now." I was trying to calm my little princess as she was crying continuously since quite a time."Why is my little princess crying? Is she missing Dada?" It was my dear husband who entered the room with that million dollar smile."Yes. Your little princess is crying since so long and she's in no mood to obey her mamma today." I said making a pout. He laughed at my helplessness and took her in his arms."Why is my little princess crying? Is she missing her Dada? Hmm." He kissed on her forehead saying so. And then he started talking to her. "My little baby is looking so beautiful in this pink frock. She's looking daddy's princess." As soon as he said this, she laughed a little making us laugh too."Looks like princess is happy to hear compliment from her Dada. Her mamma would be happy too if her Dada would take a look on her." I said faking my ang
IVANA'S POV:I was sleeping on his arms, feeling his warmth and love. I was sleeping peacefully but then I felt a sharp pain arising on my lower abdomen. I thought the babies kicked again and that's what causing the pain but then the pain kept on increasing.I felt wet on my gown as well. I tried to tolerate that pain but then it was getting too much. I freed myself from his arms and sat on the bed after a lot of struggle. It was getting hard for me to bear the pain.I couldn't bear it any more so I shook his hands with mine with my face squeezing out of pain and screams escalating from my mouth."What happened baby? Are you okay? Is there any pain?" He asked me as soon as he woke up and found me in pain."I guess my water broke." I couldn't say after this cause I was feeling as if I'll forget go breathe if I try to speak anything now."Baby, don't worry. Everything will be fine, everything will be fine." He was trying to console me but I co
IVANA'S POV:I couldn't be more happy than to know that one of my best friend is also going to have child soon. I just wish Miya could also have a child soon. I just wish to see our children growing up together and turn out to be best friends like us.Children, oh yes. What will we have? Daughters or sons? What would he want to have? Will he be happy with whatever we'll have or does he have any expectations? What if he gets disappointed and his love decreases for me?I felt so worried thinking about it. There's no much time left for my delivery. I can get labour pain at anytime soon and thinking about this only is making my heart ache."What is my baby thinking?" I felt his hands snaking around me, his chin resting on my shoulder while he spoke."Nothing." I spoke looking away cause I was in dilemma. Should I ask him or not? What if his words break my heart or I'd say something that would hurt him? I inhaled a long breath as I was tense
IVANA'S POV:I'm living a very happy life with the people I love the most. I'm carrying our babies inside me. Yes, babies. We got to know that we're having twins. But we haven't checked their gender yet cause we want to keep it a surprise.But my babies are giving me a real tough time. They made me feel nausea for whole three months at the beginning of my pregnancy. I would throw up everything that I would eat, except for cake and Ice cream. That too butterscotch. I guess my babies have similar taste with their father.Now I'm finally in my eighth month of pregnancy and my mood, God! sometimes I feel like eating and sleeping all day. Where as sometimes I don't get sleep at all. And that's when he, my dear hubby sings for me and cuddles me tight until I drift to sleep.Sometimes I feel like eating pizza but the moment he brings it in front of me, I want to eat burger. But my hubby never got irritated or showed anger on me. He always smiled and loved
IVANA'S POV:I can't thank my almighty enough for giving me the best family and such a loving and caring husband. I never thought that I'll ever be loved, though I craved for love all my life. But never in my life had I thought to be so lucky to get all these people in my life. My husband who loves me like I'm his everything, my in laws who love me like their own daughter and Abi, who's like my own sister to me. My friends who are more like my family."Hey wifey. You're looking beautiful and I can't take my eyes off from you." My dear husband said hugging me from behind with his chin resting on my shoulder."My husband's looking extremely handsome as well. I think I'll have to put my eye over you now. What if someone lures my husband?" I said looking at him through the mirror on my dressing table."Hmmm. Well you won't have to do all that hardwork baby. Cause your husband has no time to look over other woman. He has got his eyes upon his dear wife."
