"Being pregnant is an occupational hazard of being a wife."
-Queen Victoria-
***
Karina woke up that morning feeling tremendously sick. Eden had been away for a business trip for two days and he would only be back in three days. It would be a bad news if she developed any kind of serious illness when he was away.
Even though there were maid, chef and guard in the house, it was not enough to make her feel better.
She could not do anything productive and even when she tried to eat, she felt so nauseous she only ended up eating a small portion from her morning meal. The chef noticed that she was not finishing her food and asked her if she was fine.
“I’m just feeling a bit nauseous, that’s all.” She tried to smile. She wanted to take some medication but at the same time Karina was the type of woman who did not like to be reliant on drugs and medicines so she asked the chef to make something to al

"Anger against a brother is felt in the flesh, not in the bone." -African Proverb- *** Eden was flying back from his business trip after a few days. It was pure torture for him. Being away from his wife was quite painful. He missed her so much and could hardly concentrate. Then he remembered that he was doing all the work for her sake as well. Wealth was useless without women. It has always been since the beginning of time. “Karina, my baby. I can’t wait to see you again.” He was so excited. When he arrived at the airport, he opened his phone to call her because she had not been accepting his calls that often during his trip. As he opened his chatting apps, he found a new message from his brother, Declan. It was rare to see his brother messaged him first. Eden opened it and looked at the message. “I’ll pick you up in the airport.” Followed by a short follow up message. “I’m here.” It was quite

"The best surprise is no surprise." -Kemmons Wilson- *** Eden walked into the house and saw Karina sitting in the back garden while drinking her tea. He slowly approached her, about to give her a surprise when she suddenly stood up and turned her body around, seemingly surprised by Eden’s presence there. “Ah, you’re back.” She spoke casually. He smiled at her and pulled her into a hug. How he had missed hugging her like that. “I miss you, baby. Did you miss me?” He asked her before planting a small kiss on her cheek. Instead of saying yes, she pulled herself away from him. She seemed nervous, as if she was hiding something. Eden thought Karina must be afraid if he knew she spilled the truth to Declan. As much as Eden was annoyed by it, his love for her was much greater than that, he decided to drop it. He did not want her to fear him again if he brought the conversation to surface. So, he tilted his head, pret

"I believe that if you don't disrupt yourself, you will be disrupted by someone else."-Mindy Grossman-***Karina was at home by herself that day. Eden was off to work like usual, the staff were doing their thing. There was nobody there she could talk to and Karina was starting to feel a little bit lonely.She opened up her phone and she suddenly saw a message from an unknown number. Karina was sure that her phone was bugged by Eden so it was unlikely for an unknown number to reach her. Who could possibly manage to text her?She was a bit hesitant but eventually decided to open it and saw a shocking message. It was from Michelle Langdon. She introduced herself again and wondered if they could meet up for a talk because there was something she needed to tell Karina.“I have to tell you something. It’s about your husband. He is not who you think he is. If you want to meet me, we can arrange a meeting. Jus

"I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees."-Pablo Neruda-***“Good morning, baby.” Karina woke up that day by Eden’s gentle nudging. She slowly opened her eyes and saw his bright smile. She had no idea why he was smiling like that but she smiled back at him in return.“Let’s have breakfast at bed today, Karina. I had the chef prepared these for you. All of them are safe to be eaten in the bed, mess free.” He stated before handing a glass of water to her.She wondered why he suddenly wanted to have breakfast in bed when he usually hated having mess around the bed except for that time.“You’re acting a bit strange, Eden. Are you okay?” She asked with a raised brow.“Yes, I’m fine. I just thought it would be nice to break the routine for a little bit. I know I have been annoying you lately and our relationship cracked a littl

"The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works."-Augustine-***Karina thought she was going to fall to the water because she accidentally slipped on the rock but then a strong pair of arms caught her from behind. It was none other than Eden. Their eyes met for a few seconds and he quickly helped her to stand up again.“Be careful, Karina, we can’t have you fall down anymore.” He reminded her. Yes, she was carrying his baby at the moment, they surely would not want any accident to happen. Karina nodded and leaned forward a little, about to grab the water but then he stopped her.“You know what, let me help you.” He dipped his hand in the water and contained it for her to drink. He placed his hand in front of her lips, gesturing for her to drink and Karina thought about it for a second before she took a sip out of it.The water was cool and fresh. If she was to be ho

The pillow was thrown on the floor and the bed had taken a hard beating from Michelle’s fist. The woman was enraged.She just opened up her phone that evening after a long day at work and found a message from Karina that stated she was cancelling their meeting. She also blocked Michelle and she couldn’t find other ways to reach her.“No, this can’t be happening. I was so close. So close.” She kept on muttering. Her plan almost worked. The plan to make Karina hate Eden. That way, she would have a chance to get closer to her and destroyed that man from the inside out.Not long after that, her phone suddenly rang and she quickly rushed over to pick it up.
