Honey let's go back inside before we both get infected by some bacteria” Maya said dramatically. “They both deserve each other, low lives” she yelled out before the both left leaving me alone with Philip. I was surprised to see him defend me.Philip bent down to gather my stuffs together.“Are you okay?” I shook my head.“You shouldn't be crying over him, he doesn't deserve you”“I know I shouldn't be crying but I have already told my mother about the wedding preparation.

    Maddie “Hey Philip, merry Christmas. I got this for you” I stretched a cellulophane bag to him. It was sandwich the least I could get for him on my return from my trip.“Thank you Clara, you're kind. I was thinking if I could talk to you” My phone buzzed.“One sec” I flashed him a smile as I tried to rummage the phone from my handbag.“Clara merry Christmas” my mother's voice rang out over the phone.“Mum”“I have bad news. Your grandma won't be able to make it and she wished to attend your wedding by Christmas eve” I gasped hitting my forehead.“Mum”“I'm sorry child, but you have to fulfill your grandma wish” it took me some seconds to think. How would I be able to convince Jason for us to get married quickly. He got me engaged for two months now.“Fine mum, I will bring my man home for Christmas”“That's a great news” she scrolled in excitement before the call cut.“Sorry about that, you said you wanted to talk to me” I said to Philip.“Umh, yeah.

    Carlson When I saw the picture Cassandra showed me it was now making sense. Why most times Rose prefers to make her calls privately.Most times if she sees me coming she pretends. I have seen her a couple of times hide some expensive jewelry from me.Who was sending it for her? I had no idea but the picture clearly stated she had a lover somewhere.She had no family when I met, she’s an orphan trying so hard to survive. I love her persistence and courage which was why I got married and now I'm not good enough for her because somehow she has found herself a rich guy who spoils her with expensive stuff.I was so irritated by her sight, I should have known there was more to those innocent faces.

I was on the floor in pain but my husband didn't look my way.It felt like I didn't exist in his world, my head was spinning and it felt I was going to run mad every minute.“Are you okay?” he asked Cassandra who whimpered.“I was trying to tell your wife I am sorry about the accident but she pushed me. I don't think I can stand anymore” I rolled my eyes, how could someone be this cunning and Jack was buying it. He was believing her over me, then came a sharp pain that exploded Inside me like a hurricane.“Jack” I called when something trailed down my thighs it was anything but a metallic smell exploded through my nostrils.“Please call the doctor” I yelled hoping anyone could help since my husband despises me this much.“My baby” I clutched to my stomach as hot tears trailed down my cheek.“My baby” I kept till I was lifted up, I didn't know by who but my eyes began to spin.It was too much for me, too much to take al
