“Do you like the gift I got you? The portrait?” He let out while my eyes got big like saucers.

“What did you just say?!” I asked while he smiled.

“I asked you if you liked the gift I got you. Do you?” He repeated, and for the life of me, I wanted to scream, but I couldn’t.

I wasn’t sure if Asher had already noticed I had suddenly vanished. Screaming would only call his attention and a hundred others, and I don’t think being caught in a corner with a man that’s not my husband is a good idea.

“What gift? I’m not aware of any,” I replied, trying to be sure it was really what I was thinking.

“The portrait, of course, didn’t you get it?” He let out and my mouth dropped wide open.

“What do you mean by the portrait? I got one for real, but it was from my husband, and he was even there when it was delivered, and I unwrapped it right in front of him.” I retorted, and he smiled, confusing me the more.

“Yeah, that was all me. I wasn’t sure you’d show up this morning, but I still wanted t

    Ruby“Heyy, good morning,” Ava let out sweetly as she opened the door gently and came in. She had a glass of water in her hand, making me sit up as she approached me so I could take it from her. “Thank you,” I said and then downed it all at once.“Ohh, didn’t know you were so thirsty, I would have brought more.”“Not really, it was just so refreshing once I started drinking. Good morning, how are you?” I asked while she moved closer to me and held my hand.“No baby, how are you?” She asked too and I looked away at first.I know what she was asking and I’ve been asking myself the same question all night too. After I had that conversation with Asher yesterday, I came in and just came into the room. I wouldn’t even say anything much to Ava. I just told her I needed some space to clear my head and she didn’t argue. She brought my dinner later and that was it. Throughout the night, I had just one thought and it was about my baby. I love it so much already and I just want the best for i

  • My heart beats for you    Not today!

    AsherFor the next ten minutes, I knelt there and did nothing. I didn’t even move, and the tears had even stopped. I was just blank, clueless and drained. I finally stood up and I almost fell. I had been too long on my knees that blood had stopped circulating there. I staggered backwards to the wall and stayed a couple of minutes there before I finally got myself back. I hopped in my car and then drove off. I wasn’t even dressed for work and had only a casual wear on but I didn’t want to go back home so I drove to the office.“Good morning, sir.” Linda said as she quickly rose to her feet when she saw me. She tried to force a smile to mask the shock on her face but I could read her expression. I’ve never been to the office, this disorganized so I understand her surprise.“Morning, Linda.” I simply said and went into my office. In about a minute, the door opened and it was Linda. She came straight to my desk, stared at me for a long second before she opened her mouth.“Are you alri

    Ruby“Ava please, you can’t hit him! Stop the car! Stop the car!!” I screamed at Ava before she finally pulled the car to a halt. My heart was already beating so fast and even after she’d stopped, I still struggled to catch my breath.“What the heck got into you, Ava? You got me so scared!” I finally found my voice.“You should be glad I didn’t go through with it. I only stopped for his child’s sake. I don’t want my goddaughter to be fatherless,” she let out. “You okay?” She asked me while I nodded.“What do you want to do with him? Should I chase him away? Please say yes.” She added while I looked at her and shook my head.“No, Ava. I think it’s time to choose myself like you said, and it’s now or never. I might change my mind if I allowed any more delay,” I retorted.“Nah, we can’t let that happen. Get your ass over there now and break his heart into pieces. I’m rooting for you two.” She chimed in and then smiled at my belly.She immediately wiped off the smile from her face as sh

  • My heart beats for you    It’s over now!

    AsherI don’t think I’ve been more happy to see someone get hit. Ruby landed a heavy slap on Camila and she crashed into her things. Ruby didn’t wait, she was gone before I could even look up while Camila was still down there, looking at me pitifully. She was expecting me to rush to her but I was too busy enjoying the scene.“See what your wife did to me?” She finally found her voice but then burst into her usual manipulative tears.“Ohh so now, you accept she’s my wife? You know she is my wife and you still had the nerves to come here to my house where my wife would be!” I yelled, making sure to emphasize on the wife part every time.She looked at me with horror in her eyes before she quickly jumped to her feet. “And how’s that even a problem? Don’t forget she’s your wife in the first place because I allowed it. If I hadn’t agreed to let you marry her for family, she wouldn’t be here. I let her took my place and I’m here to get that back!” She yelled back at me.“What did I ever see

    Ruby A lot of thoughts fought for my attention as I sat in the back seat of the car, but I was too weak to even indulge any of them. I wasn’t myself at all and it wasn’t just because of Asher and his mistress, it felt like my body was under a severe pain and I couldn’t even explain or describe it. I just wanted to be at Ava’s place so fast and hopefully, Matt won’t be there. I can’t keep ruining their romance. A smile lined my lips when the car finally stopped in front of her building. I hurried to the door and the doorbell only rang once before the door flung open and Ava was standing there.“Ohh babe, you won’t believe I was planning to come to your place later in the day,” she said as she stepped aside so I could enter.I didn’t say a word and just went straight into the living room. She shut the door and followed me.“What’s happening? You guys are fighting again?” She asked while I let out a deep breath.“I can’t even call this a fight, I think it’s the end of the road.” I man

    Ruby “I hope I’m able to keep her happy. I can’t be the reason she hurts anymore. I love you so much, Ruby. I’m going to do right by you now, I promise.” He said quietly and then placed a gentle kiss on my forehead.Asher thought I was sleeping but I wasn’t. I actually was but his movement around the room woke me and I heard everything hr said. He turned to the other side after the kiss and slept off. I waited for about twenty minutes, before I finally got up. I don’t know why but I was so hungry and it felt like my belly was itching seriously. I went to the kitchen and then sat with the chicken. I was only going to have some but I just couldn’t resist it and I devoured it piece after piece till I was left with only bones. “Oh my God, how did I finish all this?” I muttered and then laughed. Asher would laugh so much when he wakes up in the morning and sees I already finished it all. To think I pretended like I was never going to eat it. Despite being so full, I still downed a bo
