I sat across from him, a cup of coffee in my hand, my eyes trying their very best to avert his gaze, his green short sleeve shirt protruding his slightly huge biceps, hogging them, his eyes focused on me.“So..how are you feeling?” I asked, holding my coffee mug with both hands, anxiety in my veins.“I feel all better..besides you gave me a lot of time to recuperate before meeting for coffee” he said, a smile on his lips, one that hid his canines.“Yeah..I wanted you to have your space” I said, taking a sip of my coffee, hoping it would last in my cup forever.“A month’s really a long space if you ask me” he said in a smooth baritone that seemed to scratch an itch on a part of my brain.“Yeah..I’m just looking out for you” I chuckled nervously, taking another sip.“Is it because of Jenna?” He asked.I froze at his statement, cup at my lips, I looked at him, his light blue eyes watching me.“Don’t tell me you think we’ll still be together” he added, straight to the point. Maybe Cyru

Cyrus completely avoided me, my calls and even my presence, the only time I saw him was at the day of my wedding, standing at a distance, a shallow smile on his face, his expression, unreadable.I couldn’t understand why he was against me and the marriage but I did understand my parents reason for not coming.****Two weeks to the wedding.“I can’t marry whoever you guys want, I’m engaged and I love him!” I yelled, clearly stating my reason.“We can’t let you marry into that family!” Father answered, taking his seat at the middle of the table.“Fine then..I’m no longer a daughter of this family, luckily, I’ll take my husband’s name and never come back!” I yelled, holding on to my bag.“But..Abigail..wait” mother pleaded.“We’ve been over this mother..I won’t leave Damien..he’s been through so much already” I said as the maids held onto my beg, joining my mother’s plea.“Abby..don’t leave” mother pleaded, tears in her eyes.****I sat through the ceremony, averting dark glances from R

After helping with the morning chores, I felt too exhausted, luckily for me, I did help around my home when I was younger instead of asking all the maids to do all I wanted, my efforts were finally paying off but at what cost?“Are you sitting down doing nothing?” Roseline asked.“I’m taking a break” I answered, almost furious.“When you haven’t cleaned your portion of the house?” She asked.I scoffed at her.“Did you just scoff at me?!” She exclaimed.“You’re asking me to do all these and there are many maids for that kind of job” I answered.“Those maids are paid minimum wage but if you want to eat in this house, you’ll do your part of the work” she said angrily.This escalated more quickly than expected, I raised a brow at her, walked to my room instead of indulging her.“Are you walking out on me?!” She yelled.I fully ignored her, walking as slowly as I could to get to my room, to grab my phone and call Damien and tell him about his sister’s rude behavior.“Hey babe” I said to th

I stared at the wall clock after breakfast as I paced side to side in my room.“No texts, no calls, nothing” I muttered, dialing his phone once more for the fiftieth time, hoping this would be different from the other forty-nine trials.It was no different, I paced around and as I was about to go downstairs, the door flung open.“Damien?!” I called out, rushing to him, his body pale, weak.“What happened?” I asked, my eyes widened in shock.“I..I” he stuttered, taking him with all of my strength, I pulled him from the doorway, dragging him onto the bed.“What did you do?” I asked aw he laid on the bed, moving his arms.Then a knock came on my door.“What is it?” I yelled from inside.“Are you yelling at me?” Roseline asked from the outside, I had already gotten off the wrong foot with her, I wouldn’t need to have more of that. I rushed to the door, placing my husband on the bed.“Sorry Roseline..it’s just that..” I said as she cut me off.“You’re so useless your husband didn’t come h

I had learnt to wake up early, earlier than usual and stick to the routine to helping the maids around the house.I cooked, washed and cleaned, helping out in ways I could and made sure Roseline had seen me work just so I wouldn’t get on her bad side, yet, nothing worked, she found faults in my food, dirt in the place I cleaned and chastised me for not waking up early enough.It has been foue months living under the same roof as Roseline and Sara and it had to be the worst months of my life, I went through excruciating pains while doing the chores and all I got were scolds, I hadn’t gotten used to it, I never thought I would because this was worse than being alone, never did I know, it could actually be worse.“Hey babe..someone’s phoning you” I said as I walked in, exhausted from doing the house chores, I saw his phone buzzing as he stayed in the shower, getting his bath.There was no response, the water must have had a deafening effect. I looked over to the phone to see the caller

I stood frozen, her body as slender as the last time I had seen her, her long black hair flowing down her shoulders, her hand clutched onto my husband’s.“Jenna?” I asked, my voice trailing off, my chest pounding as I looked at her face, she was here in the flesh after more than a year had passed, my husband’s ex-girlfriend was here.“Let’s go in” Damien said, gesturing that she walk with him.“Your biceps have gotten bigger” she teased him, leaning on his chest as she walked.Did my eyes just deceive me? Or is that who I truly think it is. I felt my heart ache as the maids took out the food and everyone had begun to settle down for their meal.“Jenna..it’s so nice to see you again” Roseline said, a smile on her lips.I haven’t seen her smile since I stepped foot in this house, she had always shot dark gnarly glances at me.‘I can’t do this’ I thought to myself as I dashed upstairs, this wasn’t happening, I couldn’t , it had taken him a year to get over her and here she was, hands on

It wasn’t a dream. I had woken up early enough and the sight I beheld haunted me, he planted a kiss on her nape while his hands were on her waist as she let her skin meet with his, while I stood by the stairs, watching them both go into the guest room.“What’s happening?” I muttered, my voice not loud enough to get to them.I felt a sting in my chest, as though my heart was shattered, then I recalled Cyrus’ words ‘it’s not the right call..don’t fall for him’ he said, while I feigned ignorance, completely.Now I stared at them both as he held her waist, planting kisses on her cheeks and neck.“Miss Forest” a maid said from behind, drawing my attention.“Yes..” I answered, a faint smile on my lips as I answered her.“I’ve been trying to get you to answer me, you seemed lost in thought” she said.“Oh..didn’t you see what was going on?” I asked, pointing to where I saw Jenna and Damien.“There’s no one there” she answered.I turned to her, it was a figment of my imagination, I felt a chil

“You’re eight weeks pregnant” the doctor said, I looked at him, wide eyed, puzzled.“How?” I asked as I sat on the bed “Haven’t you and your spouse been intimate?” He asked, I looked at him, still confused.“Yes, that was two months ago…but I’ve been seeing my period” I blurted out.“Well..it’s a cryptic pregnancy” he said, looking at the result from the scan.“Have you been having any morning sickness?” He asked.“No..not that I know of” I answered casually.“Well, congratulations Mrs Forest…you’ll have a child soon” he said with a smile, handing the result to me.I felt so elated, a smile formed on my lips as I held onto my results, clenching onto them as the driver took me home.“I’ll tell Damien first when he gets back” I muttered as I sat at the back seat, holding my test result.The moment I came down from the car, my eyes caught hers ‘She’s still here?’ I thought to myself.“Where are you coming from?” She asked, I looked around, ignoring her completely, she had become quite b

“I’m sorry miss..you lost the child” the doctor said as he addressed me.I felt my heart sink, I knew before having the driver take me that I had lost my child but still, I wanted a confirmation. I looked at the pregnancy result as I held it yesterday, sobbing.I entered the house with no will to argue or fight.“What’s up with her?” Jenna asked Roseline as she held up her wine glass.“Should you even care? She looks like she’s about to die” Roseline responded with a chuckle.Jenna noticing my state, joined her as well, laughing as she took sips of her wine.I walked into my room, face down, my body pale, my soul crushed. I couldn’t imagine that the death of an unborn child could hurt as much as it did now, my heart ached, I preferred solitude, I starved myself and soon enough, it was too problematic to bear for Damien.“Go to the guest room downstairs” he said in a cold, harsh tone as I coddled myself, crying.“You’re taunting my sleep, all you do is lay at the corner, you refuse to

“Oh about the company?” Jenna asked.“You could’ve done a contract marriage with someone better…I really don’t like her” she added.I stopped myself from screaming by putting my hand over my mouth.“But she’s a free deal, why would I want to pay for a contract marriage when she’s hopelessly in love with me?” He said with a chuckle, my heart sank, my body felt weak, I leaned on the wall even harder to avoid a fall, it felt unreal.“He lied to me, all these times..I was a pawn” I muttered, my eyes welling up with tears once again “Shh” Frieda whispered, hopefully, they hadn’t noticed anything and no one was out and about.“So…when it’s all said and done…she’ll leave, yay” she squealed.“That’s not all…I got the approval of the board because of the marriage, so I need to keep it under wraps, just long enough to get what I want” he answered “So after the year, she’ll be gone” she said, wrapping her arms around Damien as they both chuckled, I peeked well enough to see them both.‘I’ve b
