Marrying The Wrong Brother 148 ~ Sloane
I should have known what I signed up for when I decided to keep this pregnancy.Now Zane wouldn't leave my side for a second even when I had repeatedly told him I was fine. It was cute but equally annoying."Are you seriously thinking of following me to the office?""Yes.""You can't be serious." I grunted, rolling my eyes in annoyance, trying to arrange my stuff in my work handbag. "Maybe this is a good time for the merger."I paused and turned to him, my eyes widening slightly."Now?""Yes." He nodded."Are you...?" I held myself back from using the insult that was just on the tip of my tongue.I heaved a breath before looking at him again. "No.""Why not?""You're trying to use this pregnancy as an excuse to sideline me. This is why I didn't want to keep it in the first place.""No, no babe. You're getting it all wrong. I just don't want to you to stress.""With all the financial chaos going on in your company. A merger isn't looking good for me.""I have it all under control I
Marrying The Wrong Brother 147 ~ Zane
The last couple of days had me drifting through different emotions. From the shock of finding out Sloane was pregnant, to anger when I saw she was adamant about getting rid of it. And then there was the exhaustion and resignation I felt when I decided to follow her to the clinic and find out it was possibly a high risk pregnancy so she would have to get rid of it anyway.I saw the conflict of emotions in her eyes. Hearing the heartbeat of the child we had made had messed with her just as it did with me.It was so many feelings at once. And it was difficult to describe which one was predominant. It was even more difficult for her to decide what to do next. Taking her home after the doctor's appointment, the drive back was as silent as a graveyard but for the sound of the engine every time it revved.I wished I could get into her head and know exactly what she was thinking about. Maybe she wished she could get into mine too. Getting home, there was an obvious elephant in the room w

At first, all I saw were shades of black and grey that made absolutely no sense.I frowned.The technician moved the probe slightly."There." She said. I looked at the screen and my breathing stopped.There was something there.It was small, tiny even. But it was unmistakably there.I stared at it closely. "That's the baby?" I whispered.The technician smiled. "Yes."I didn't know what I was expecting to feel.Fear, definitely.Maybe anger.But instead, something strange happened inside me.I felt my chest tighten just as my heart rate went faster. My eyes remained fixed on the screen.I could see the little shape more clearly now.It wasn't just an idea anymore.It wasn't just a problem I had been waiting to get rid of.It was real. It was my baby.I swallowed, feeling Zane's fingers tightened around mine.I didn't look at him. I was too much of a coward to do so. The technician adjusted something on the screen."And that's the heartbeat."A rapid, rhythmic sound filled the room.

Despite Zane dissuading me from going to work the next day because I was sick all night. I refused.We had barely thrashed out our issues. Him doting on me was annoying to me.I was pregnant, not an invalid. And it was only for really short period of time. I knew that in about a week from then, it would all be in the past. So I went to work, fighting the dizzy spells and nausea however I knew how to with natural remedies. I sniffed peppermint as much as possible. It helped a bit but I was still struggling. Zane kept calling me every now and then. At some point I had to yell at him that I was fine and he should stop calling me.The next thing that followed were a bunch of texts that I chose to ignore, turning off notifications from his messages.Few hours later he sent lunch. I didn't have an appetite so I left it. I was low-key wishing I could starve myself into a miscarriage. But since that wasn't happening I was looking forward to my appointment the next day. Maya was walkin

My hands were shaking. And a cold sweat broke out on my forehead despite the fully air-conditioned room. I immediately wished I could undo the last twenty minutes. Why did I make the mistake of taking a pregnancy test?The nausea had gone beyond what I could understand. And the mood swings didn't help either.What sealed my suspicions was the fact that my period was late. Very late.That had never happened before. So out of nowhere on my way back from work, I spotted a pharmacy and asked my driver to swerve in. I nervously picked up the pack of DIY strips, paid and left the place, ignoring the knowing smile on the face of the nosy cashier. Zane wasn't back from the office yet so I had time to myself. But I locked the door anyway. I entered the bathroom, did what I was supposed to and then there was the waiting time.I waited for what felt like the longest time, hoping to see that I was right. That it was just a cold and not the thing I dreaded the most. I hoped and prayed it woul

I was at the bar with Theo celebrating him finally leaving the newborn trenches. Him and Sonia had been through it.She didn't want to come out tonight, I would have brought Sloane along if she agreed. "How's it going with the baby?" I asked him.His eyes lit up. "Oh she's just a perfect little angel. I can't believe she's six months old now.""Time really does fly quickly." I commented."It does."The way he gushed about it, I wondered if he was really celebrating the newborn phase ending because now it sounded like he missed it a lot more than he wanted to admit. That familiar yearning to experience a baby of my own returned the more he talked."I know that look,""What are you talking about?" I asked just as I took a swig of my beer."I had that look in my eye before Sonia got pregnant. She calls it baby fever."I chuckled, unable to lie to myself or him. "I do have baby fever. But unfortunately, my wife doesn't share the same sentiment.""Still on the no kids issue huh?""Yup."
Marrying The Wrong Brother 6 ~ Zane
The post went live at 11:58 PM, and I watched the engagement metrics climb from my office with a drink in my hand that I sipped from slowly.Numbers didn't lie. Before I could keep track, the likes hit ten thousand in minutes and comments flooded in faster than the platform could organize them. Of

"You can't just move me into your house without asking."Zane didn't even glance at me as the car pulled up to the gates. The estate sprawled beyond them like something out of a fever dream. It had sharp angles, floor-to-ceiling glass. And it was perched on a cliff that overlooked the city like it
Marrying The Wrong Brother 4 ~ Zane
We are getting married tomorrow.Two days. That was all it had taken from the signed contract to the scheduled wedding. I had expected Sloane Reed to take the full three days, maybe longer. Instead she had called Patrick from the café, confirmed the date before she even stood up from the table, and
Marrying The Wrong Brother 3 ~ Sloane
He walked in and every head in the café turned. I had already been seated for ten minutes, black coffee in front of me that I hadn't touched, the file on the table within reach. I had chosen the corner table deliberately. Away from the windows, away from anyone who might recognize either of us and
