After three days of being on bed rest, Christopher finally stepped out of his apartment. To Chris, it wasn’t really a bed rest because he drowned himself with work since it was the only thing that could keep his mind off Naomi. He sent her text messages which did not deliver and when he finally had the nerve to call her, it went straight to voicemail.
Susan, his younger sister had been the one taking care of him. The bumps on his face had gone down, the bruises had faded but not completely and his jaw pains finally went away today.
Naomi fiddled with the silver necklace she was putting on; hoping to get some comfort from it. She knew what she was going to hear in a few minutes was not what she wanted to hear and neither was she prepared for it.Naomi had not been feeling well; she now lacks appetite, her favourite foods were like her worst enemy. It was just yesterday she realized she was late for her monthly period.And that was when it hit her really hard that she might be pregnant. But on the other
Christopher was happy when he walked out of his building and saw that the entrance was press free. Perhaps they had given up on him which was perfect.He placed his briefcase in the backseat before settling into the driver’s seat and drove towards his family hospital. Vivian made all her appointments in Trinity Hospital when she discovered she was pregnant with the heir to the Smiths empire as it made sense to give birth to him or her in the same hospital Christopher was born in.
Christopher literally rushed out of the shower to answer his phone. He was half-naked; He only had his towel tied below his torso.“This phone call should better be important, woman. I literally ran out of the bathroom to answer your call since you were calling non-stop.”Susan giggled on the other side. “Sorry Bro, I just wanted to know how the check-up went.”
Christopher decided he was going to be working from home today. He attended to all his conference calls in his home office and occupied himself reviewing the contracts his lawyer sent him for final verification. He hardly stood up from his desk except when he wanted to use the bathroom or refill his cup with wine.He had no appetite to take something in and drowning himself with work was the only thing he could do to get his mind off Naomi or the thought that by this time tomorrow he would be married to Vivian and bound to her for the rest of his life.
The reception was an indoor reception, beautifully decorated and press free. It was sort of a private reception with only family members, business partners and close friends.Food and drinks were served, Toasts were made, the couple had cut the cake already and speeches were made by close friends of Chris and Vivian.Andre and Ruben gave small talks about Christopher while Vivian had about six friends who made speeches.
Since it was a Sunday, Christopher did not see the need to wake up early as he does during weekdays. He tried to go back to sleep after using the bathroom at around past seven but unfortunately, he could not.Suddenly, he felt like taking coffee but he had no zeal to get up from his bed. He wasn’t looking forward to anything today and more importantly, he was dreading to go out of his room because he did not want to face Vivian, his wife.After twenty minutes of thinki
Days Later.Tonight would be their first public appearance together as a couple. Christopher was invited to a birthday party of one of his business partners. He couldn’t say no to the invitation and at the same time, he could not attend without taking Vivian along.Christopher was seated in the living room, dressed up in his tailored suit and matching d
Collins' advice stung Christopher like an injury. He hardly had any sleep that night as he kept on replaying the conversation in his head.If only he had come clean about the whole situation to Naomi before her brother told the truth. If only he had adhered to his sister’s suggestion of telling his parents about Naomi, maybe things would have turned out differently.Christopher decided he was going to have a serious talk with Vivian. They had to end things and go their
