“Leslie.” Ben said in a worried manner as he took a few steps towards me but I moved back.
“Don’t come anywhere near me.” I warned as I shifted my eyes to Arena who had already burst into tears.
“Leslie it’s not what it seems.” Ben said as I covered my mouth and lowered my hand.
“Then why are you here with her? Why would you be in a cake shop on your birthday with a pregnant woman if you have nothing to do with her?” I asked as I tried to keep my emotion under control. “Explain it to me Ben so I can understand!”
Ben was silent as I ran my hand through my hair, my hands trembling too much as my temperature rose.
“You’re the father, aren’t you?” I asked as Ben kept quiet. “Ben is the father, isn’t he Arena?”
Arena cried and nodded and I exhaled before placing my hand on my forehead and my waist. I exhaled, trying to cr

057 Azrael I was late to come to the office because I had to drop Cherry at the airport back to Australia. She had overstayed her welcome but she was determined to come again next time and with her parents. I was heading to my office when my path was quickly obstructed by one of the employees. I stared at her, trying to remember her then I noted she was one of the editors of team A. The one who worked under Reina and Leslie’s senior in office; Jade. Reina also came, hands on her waist before she tilted her head for me to follow her. “What is this about?” I asked Jade who expressed worry. “It’s Leslie sir.” Jade said as my eyes widened. I walked hastily following Reina who was ahead of me until we got to the floor of their office. I saw some employees from team B and C staring inside while there was noise coming from inside. I looked in, surprised to see Leslie scolding the new editors Melody and anoth

058LeslieI chewed on the apple Isaac peeled while waiting for him in the room. I knew he was upset because my husband was his brother if not, he’d have loved to be my lawyer to secure enough properties under my name for the divorce to compensate me.Isaac coming to see me and believing everything I said was enough for me.The door opened and Isaac stepped in before he closed the door behind him with a serious expression.“I just spoke with Sarah, asked her to get a room at my place ready for you.” Isaac said as I stopped chewing.“I can’t stay with you Isaac; I don’t want Ben to know where I am.” I replied as Isaac sighed.“He’ll find out eventually especially since he isn’t willing to accept a divorce. He came over to my place multiple times hoping he’d see you and as much as I support your decision to avoid him, he’s still my brother and you

059“Congratulations you are finally in the normal weight class and you are finally in the second trimester.” Dr. Owen said as I exhaled in relief.The second trimester, it scared me since it was at this stage that I’d lost my first child.My hand lowered to the little bump that I noticed had developed recently and my other symptoms were starting to get better.“Is there any issue you are experiencing that I should be aware of?” Dr. Owen asked.“Well my chest is getting softer than usual and it hurts when I try to squeeze it or massage it.” I blushed at the thought of what the sensitivity made me do. “I get nauseous at the scent of fish especially canned fish and certain types of meat but I used to eat them at my earlier stage.”Dr. Owen laughed when I said so.“Did that happen during your first pregnancy?” Dr. Owen asked.“Well the nausea was common unli

060“I’m sorry for my behaviour last week, it was rude and inappropriate to pull a scene in a work environment. I also apologize for talking rudely to my senior in years of experience no matter our performance rate, I didn’t have any right to step out boundaries especially to you Ash.” I apologized as the whole team stared at me.The mood was a little tight since I entered the office and even with my apology letter, everyone was being cautious as though I would explode.I felt a public apology was the best approach to ease the mood.“It’s all in the past plus there were things you said that were right just try to take it a little easy on us next time. We wouldn’t want you dying so soon.” Ash said as I smiled.“True. You’re better now?” Melody asked and I nodded.“The truth is I passed out of exhaustion. I can’t overwork now because I’m expecting a baby in a

061The next morning, I woke up to the smell of food wafting through my nose buds. I peered my eyes open and touched the bed and my body… Empty.Isaac or Sarah must have woken the kids up for school and I was the last to rise which was a usual habit since I got pregnant or rather since I started living with the Adam family.I walked down to the dinning room, scratching my hair and massaging my stomach before I got to the room where everyone was seated.I sat down and Isaac dropped some food on the table before me. I didn’t say anything as I faced the twins who seemed satisfied with their huge bowl of cereals and waffles.Sarah was trying to feed Everest who chewed the mashed food given then spat it at Sarah when she tried to feed him and giggle.“You should try the egg.” I said as I handed her my egg.“Don’t you want it?” Sarah asked.“I don’t like it.” I replied as

062 I sat opposite Ben, my legs crossed and arms folded as I stared at him. Ben didn’t seem nervous, prepared like he was waiting for today. “Now Leslie and Bennett, we’re here to come to a negotiation not fight.” The counsellor who was sent by the court said as I nodded. To plain eyes Ben looked okay but I knew when he was anxious, we’ve been married for almost six years and we knew each other’s quirks and personality. “Let us begin.” The counsellor said as she looked at the papers in her hand. “You can freely discuss whatever you like.” “It’s great to finally get the chance to talk to you.” Ben said as his eyes fell to my baby bump. “I was expecting words more like see you in court since there’s nothing to talk about.” I stated as Ben frowned. “You’re pregnant Leslie with our child, I feel we were given this opportunity to reconcile. I don’t want you to carry all the responsibility alone.” “I won’t thanks to child s

063 NB: Divorce laws are different in every country and I am doing my best to represent a divorce case in an advanced modern society ruled with the ABO system. This is a work of fiction for the goal of entertainment. I loved how small the court was and how there weren’t a lot of people in the room that weren’t needed. I was late to the court but when I looked at the right side, Azrael and Isaac were seated. “Sorry I’m late.” I apologized to Azrael and looked at Isaac but didn’t say a word before I sat down beside Azrael. “Is everything okay between the two of you?” Azrael asked and I pouted. “I don’t want to talk to him.” I replied as Azrael patted my hair. “I don’t know what is the basis of your argument but I know you’ll forgive him.” Azrael said as I squinted my eyes. “What makes you so sure?” I asked and he smirked. “Because you know how to forgive Leslie even if it takes time. You also know you n

064AzraelLeslie heaved heavily as Bennett stood up to give his statement. The work to a divorce was too much and I was starting to understand why my parents would never file a divorce even if they got tired of each other.“You should take your pills.” I said when as I handed Leslie the bottle of vitamins when it was time.“Thank you.” Leslie said as he collected the bottle of water and the pills.He took the pills and handed me the bottle before he cleaned his mouth to listen to Bennett’s statement attentively.“I don’t want to waste much of our time giving a full account so I’ll give my account from a year ago. I got employed into DW conglomerate a year ago after I lost my previous job before I got employed Leslie was working at his current place of employment.”“So, Leslie was unemployed when you were working in your previous job?”“Y
