The sun was already high when Cassandra left the mansion. She told the guards she was going to the spa, but that was a lie. Her heart was beating fast, not because she was scared, but because she couldn’t wait to see him — Marcus.

Marcus was not rich like Nathaniel, but he had something that made her feel alive. He was young, wild, and full of sweet words. Whenever she was with him, she forgot about everything — the house, the power, and even Nathaniel himself.

She wore dark glasses and a scarf to hide her face. Her driver opened the car door, but she told him, “I’ll drive myself today.” The man looked surprised but didn’t argue. She didn’t want anyone to know where she was going.

The road was quiet, leading out of the city to a small, hidden house surrounded by tall trees. She parked the car and took a deep breath before knocking.

The door opened, and Marcus stood there, smiling. He looked handsome, his shirt half open, his eyes full of mischief. “You came,” he said, pulling

    The night was quiet. The sound of crickets filled the air, and the moonlight slipped gently through the curtains. Savannah lay on the bed, her eyes half-closed. She was tired after the long day out with Adrian. She turned slowly, placing her hand on her belly. The baby had been kicking more than usual that evening. She smiled a little and whispered, “You’re almost here, my little one.” After a while, she felt a sharp pain in her lower stomach. She gasped softly and sat up. “Maybe it’s just a small cramp,” she told herself. She lay back again, but a few minutes later, the pain came again — stronger this time. Her breathing grew fast. “Oh God…” she whispered. She held her belly and tried to stay calm. Adrian was still in his study downstairs, reading through some papers. When he heard a small sound from upstairs, he stopped and listened. At first, he thought it was nothing, but then he heard her call weakly, “Adrian!” He dropped everything and rushed up the stairs. When he ent

    The morning breeze was calm, and the sun shone softly through the white curtains. Savannah stood near the window, her hands resting on her round belly. She was already nine months gone, and her movements were slower now. Adrian walked into the room quietly and smiled when he saw her staring outside. “You look lost in thought,” he said, his voice gentle. She turned around and smiled faintly. “Just looking at the sky. It’s beautiful today.” He walked closer and held her hand softly. “Then let’s go out. You need some air. You’ve been indoors for too long.” Savannah looked at him in surprise. “Out? Where?” Adrian grinned. “Somewhere peaceful. Don’t worry, I won’t stress you. I just want us to relax a bit.” She hesitated, then nodded. “Okay. I’ll go with you.” A few minutes later, they were both inside his car. Adrian helped her sit carefully before driving off. The road was quiet, and the sound of birds filled the air. Savannah leaned back and smiled as the wind brushed agai

    Adrian sat in his office with a calm look, typing slowly on his laptop. The day had been long, and his mind was tired. Just then, his best friend, Daniel, walked in with two cups of coffee. “Man,” Daniel said, smiling. “You look like someone who hasn’t slept in days. You need this.” Adrian chuckled softly. “Thanks, Daniel. I’ve just been busy. So many files to review.” Daniel sat across from him and handed him one of the cups. “Busy? Or just thinking too much about Savannah again?” Adrian gave him a quick look. “Do you ever stop talking?” Daniel grinned. “Not when it’s about her. I’ve noticed you smile whenever her name comes up.” Adrian shook his head, but a small smile still showed on his lips. “She’s… special, Daniel. It’s hard not to think about her. The house feels alive because of her.” Daniel leaned forward. “And the baby? How is she doing?” “She’s fine. The doctor said everything is going smoothly,” Adrian replied. “I’m just trying to make sure she doesn’t stre

    It was late in the afternoon, and Savannah sat quietly in the garden behind the mansion. The air was calm, and the sound of birds filled the space. She rested her hands on her round belly and smiled as she felt the baby move. She had grown used to the peace in Adrian’s house. The maids were kind and respectful, always checking on her. But there was one maid, a young girl named Mia, who always made her laugh. Mia came out holding a tray of fruits and juice. “Madam Savannah,” she called softly, smiling. “You forgot to take your juice.” Savannah looked up and smiled warmly. “Mia, how many times will I tell you to stop calling me madam? I’m not used to it.” Mia giggled. “But sir Adrian said we should respect you. Even he calls you madam sometimes.” Savannah shook her head, laughing. “He’s just being dramatic. Sit down, Mia. Don’t stand.” The girl hesitated. “But—” “No buts,” Savannah said softly. “Sit.” Mia sat beside her, shyly looking down. “You’re too kind, madam. You t

    It was a bright Saturday morning. The sun was already high, and the sound of birds filled the big compound. Savannah sat on the couch in the living room, rubbing her belly gently. She had just finished breakfast and was watching a movie when a loud voice came from the gate. “Tell your boss that his favourite aunty is here!” Savannah turned quickly. That voice was impossible to mistake — it was Aunty Lisa, Adrian’s talkative aunty. The maids rushed out, smiling and greeting her. Aunty Lisa walked in proudly, dressed in a bright yellow gown and a big hat. She looked full of life as always. “Where is that stubborn nephew of mine?” she shouted playfully. “I came to see my new daughter-in-law!” Savannah laughed softly, trying to stand up, but before she could, Aunty Lisa was already beside her. “Oh, my God! Look at you!” she said, holding Savannah’s face in both hands. “You’re glowing like sunshine. Ehn! Pregnancy fits you, my dear. Adrian is so lucky!” Savannah blushed and smi

    The night was calm and peaceful. The stars shone bright through the open balcony of Savannah’s room. The air carried the sweet smell of roses that Adrian had planted around the garden just for her. Savannah sat on the bed, dressed in a loose gown. Her belly had grown big — she was already nine months gone. Sometimes she would rub it softly and smile, whispering to the baby. Adrian walked in quietly, holding a tray of fruits and a glass of warm milk. “You didn’t eat much today,” he said, setting the tray beside her. Savannah smiled a little. “I wasn’t hungry.” He frowned playfully. “You’re always saying that, Savannah. You know you have to eat for two now.” She laughed softly. “You sound like the doctor.” Adrian sat beside her, his eyes soft and full of care. “Then maybe you should listen to both of us.” She shook her head shyly. “You worry too much.” He smiled and picked up a slice of apple, bringing it close to her lips. “Please. Just a few bites.” Savannah looke
