CHAPTER 41I feel my mood of the day before always influences my mood for the next day. Well, it happens to me most of the time, I don't know if it's the same with every other person but it sure is for me. I walk into the office with a new found confidence and a big smile on my face. A smile that I am not faking, I am really happy and at peace with myself because finally with the help of Andre I've put to rest the rumours that were spreading about me. I don't need to be troubled about my growing stomach anymore.The only thing I am worried about is Andre's parents. Andre has talked to me and told me not to worry about them but I knew it always went with rich parents like his, they never thought anyone was good enough for their sons. I need to see Andre and talk to him about it. I really see no need going to meet his parents since everything is just a facade, at least to him but every moment we spend together just makes me want him more each day.I d

CHAPTER 43Andre doesn't  answer for a while, thinking if he should let me come up for my own interview. I am hoping he will say a loud "yes, I do mind". When he turns to look at me, I know he is looking for a sign from me, to know if I want it or not. I want to shake my hand so he can say yes to the presenter, but I am finding it hard to shake in the midst of the people who are watching my every move.Just sitting here watching Andre, knowing the interview is about me and I am the center of attraction, I am trying so hard to remain calm. I know if I go up there, I might do something embarrassing, like tripping so I will end up falling face down or stammering or saying something totally out of line. I can't do this.Andre says something to the presenter."Miss Standford, will you mind coming up stage?" She ask loudly and I feel like attacking Andre.Can't he see how much I am struggling to sit here? Can't he just use his instinct to know I am

CHAPTER 45 After Andre left yesterday he didn't call me and I didn't call him even when I knew I should have called. What was I expected to say to him if I had called? Monday went by a blur too. He hardly acknowledged my presence. He made it all about work and this made me realize the how used to his compliments I was. It was like a drug I was addicted to and I needed it. I should be the one to stop this, I should have explained to him and never had allowed him to leave on Saturday, angry. I've never seen him angry at me.     Andre sent me a message yesterday after work, asking me to prepare to go see his parents this evening. I wanted to send him a message back to tell him I won't be going but I know it was going to sound wrong. He was doing all this for me. I should be kind to him, not rude and dramatic. I have to apologise.   I take a shower after resting a while when I get back from work before going over to my closet to look f

CHAPTER 47The ringing sound of my phone wakes me up from my sleep.  I sit upright and rest my head on the headboard before picking the call. It is Rob calling."Hello sis", he greets."Robert, how are you?" I ask him. I have forgotten about the therapy I wanted to plan for him. Everything has been a little overwhelming. I feel bad. Why can't I just be a good sister for once? Rob is supposed to come this week and I am sure he is calling because I haven't called him. I promised to call him last week."I'm cool, sis. You still sleeping?""Yeah. But I'm awake now.""Erhhmm...Freya", he stutters. I know he has something to tell."What is it, Rob?""I'm no longer coming to visit you, Freya", his voice is down."What? Why? Is It because I didn't call as promised?""No, that's not it. I know why you want me to come.""Why?""I heard mom telling Johnson that you want me to meet with a therapist. It's no

CHAPTER 49I am in my room getting ready for my appointment with Doctor Billy when I hear Andre's car pulling over in the driveway. I am anxious. The doctor fixed another appointment for me so he can ascertain the actual sex of the baby.Now that Baxter is still claiming the baby is his and is talking about mailing me the court papers, how do I go about it? Even if Andre tells the court that the baby is his, a DNA test will be conducted and that will prove Baxter is the father of the child. That does not mean he has to have my baby.I will love my baby boy with everything. His father might be a monster but I am going to raise him up in the right way and make sure to protect him from his father. Baxter has no right to claim the baby as his and I am ready fight him till the end.I take a last look at myself in the mirror, staring at my little baby bump before I hear the knock at the front door. I move swiftly to the door and throw It open. Andre looks like someone
