1Anna's POVI paced around the hospital ward restlessly. The smell of sterile water and antibiotics makes me feel disgusting and throwing up at the spot. The hum of the fluorescent lights above mingling with my anxious thoughts. I have been here for the past 2 hours, this has been my daily routine in this painful journey of being a mother. Missed periods, running countless tests and taking all sorts of medicines for the past years now. Nagging from mother-in-law seems unending.I have been struggling with polycystic ovary syndrome (POS) which hurts like hell when tests are run. I watched as the woman next to me is called into the examination room. My heart skips a beat. My palms became sweaty out of nervousness.After what seemed like a very long time, the door slowly opened and Dr. Reynolds walked into the room. He wore a formal shirt and tie and had a serious look in his face, he was professional but did not smile. There was just shame, disappointment and I tensed myself for the p

2Anna's POVI walked to the kitchen and took a deep breath before I clutched the handle of the kitchen door. I got in and found her in the kitchen, she was backing the door and slicing some tomatoes for dinner preparation. The kitchen smelled of roasted turkey and spiced apples, a comforting aroma that immediately heightened my anticipation.“Hi mom, Good evening mom.” I greeted calmly putting on a smile. She slammed the knife causing me to flinch. My heart beats fast as I gulped hard. I brought out the gift and placed in front of her.“Ugh, mom…I have a little something for you,” I said, trying to sound as cheerful as I felt.She turned around, her expression barely masking her surprise. I held out the small, elegantly wrapped box. “Merry Christmas,” I added, hoping to see an atom of joy in her eyes.She took the box with a sigh, her eyes scanning me briefly before she set it aside on the counter without another word again. Her reactions felt so cold, and I struggled to hide my dis

3Anna's POV We finished at the gym house and I dropped Jessica off in front of her house, we bade farewell and hit the road heading home. It was already late by the time I got home, my heart filled with so much excitement as I thought about surprising Michael with the gift I had bought him the other day at the mall. The Rolex watch! I had saved it specifically for tonight, Christmas Eve, because I wanted this moment to be special between us. The watch was more than just a present—it was a symbol of the love I still wanted and will always want it forever. A symbol of our eternal marriage vows, the love I hoped would bring us closer. I slowly walked through the front door, I smiled at myself and our wedding pictures hanging on the wall, but something felt off. I shook off the thoughts immediately.The whole door was open ajar,Mom wasn't home yet and Michael doesn't do that.My excitement dimmed as I noticed the faint sound of voices coming from upstairs. I paused, my heart pounding

4Anna's POV My hands trembled as I stared at the papers again, his harsh words make me cry more. I swallowed hard with determination and signed the papers.I couldn’t believe this was happening. I couldn’t believe that the man I had loved so much was now treating me like an ordinary strangers and freak, something to be discarded."You’re a coward," I spat, throwing the papers back at him. "You want a divorce right? Fine. But don’t you dare blame me for this. You’re the one who destroyed us, Michael. You destroyed our marriage with your lies.”He didn’t even flinch a bit. The papers scattered around the floor. Instead, he turned to Sophie, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and kissing her right in front of me. "I’m sorry it had to be like this, Anna. But this is what’s best for both of us. You’ll understand that one day. But for now…deal with your heart break"I felt sick to my stomach as I watched them together, doing crazy things in front of me. The reality of my situation hits

Something is truly off. I quickly pulled over with so much concern.As I stepped out, I saw two men surrounding her and probably trying to harasse her. I walked to her in panic.“Hey!” I shouted, trying to draw their attention away from her. My mind was racing in anger.The men turned, and their surprise quickly advanced to me.“And who are you? What's your business with her.” They asked. They staggered towards me.Before they could finish talking,I was on them

6Anna's POV What the hell was he talking about? Getting married to him right after his step brother broke my heart?“I…I…” I stammered slowly and panicked about what exactly to respond kindly with. The door cracked open and the nurse walked in, she was dressed in pink scrubs and white Crocs, holding a file in her hand.“Mr Xavier, the doctor wants to speak privately with you.” She said politely with a smile. I heaved a sigh of relief.“I will be back soon.” Xavier said and with that, he left.My phone rang loudly, it was Jessica calling. I shifted the drip rope and picked up the phone beside me.“Hello girl! Where the hell are you? I heard about what happened and I'm in the hospital. But which ward? The nurse I met here is so saucy!” Jessica shrilled on the phone.I let out a soft chuckle. “Room 406.” I responded without talking much.

Micheal fell to the ground.“Oh my goodness Anna! It's him!

What the hell are you doing here stepbrother!? Long time no see and seeing me with a punch. Did you two know each other?” Micheal asked on the floor, his nose was bleeding. Yes!

You don't have any right to ask questions about her life!” Xavier yelled.“So it was you? She's my wife! You don't have the right to be with this barren woman!” Micheal said and my eyes widened.“Shut the hell up Micheal! I'm not your wife! Now get out.” I said angrily. He stood up from

Their eyes locked together, their faces almost closer to each other.What the heck?“I..um..my place is really messy. I don't want you to see it like this, that's why ummm…” He stammered, Anna chuckled softly and nodded. He was still holding her tightly in the bridal style.“Um, yeah. I think I understand.” she nodded nervously. “If you don't mind, you're holding me tightly.” she added.“Oh that's right. Cool.” He said and lifted her immediately. The anxiety in his eyes could be clearly seen which made Anna laugh inwardly.“You know what, I will leave you here now. You can freshen up, and then we can talk about dinner.” He said hastily.“Yeah, sounds good.” Anna said and left for the inner room to pick out something to wear.

As she looked at herself in the mirror, she took a deep breath. She wouldn’t let Sophie or anyone else dictate her life.She was done with hospitals for now. It was time to find a new path, a new beginning. And she would do it on her own terms.She got to the first company whom she searched online before getting the update that they needed employees to work in their company. Anna sat down waiting for the queue to reduce before it could reach her turn.“Miss Anna!” The receptionist called.
