“Here’s the result, ma’am.” The doctor I’d come to see handed me a sheet of paper.I held my breath, reading through the result. My smile widened and tears filled my eyes as soon as I spotted the word ‘positive’.I was pregnant. I had used three different pregnancy test strips and all had come out positive but I wanted to be sure, hence, my reason for visiting my family doctor. “I’m pregnant.” I said with tears finally falling down my face. “Yes, congratulations.” The doctor smiled.Nathan would be so happy. We had been trying to get pregnant for a while now. Two years to be exact and now that it had finally happened, I could not wait to share the news with him.I rushed out of the doctor’s office, got into my car and headed straight for home. I checked the time. It was just past three pm.He usually closed from the office and got home around six or seven. I decided to make a special dinner for both of us. Humming happily, the maids stared at me in surprise and curiosity but I p

“Is my father in?” I questioned Mr. Russell, my father’s butler. The man himself was surprised to see me. “Yes, he is. Come in.”I stepped into the foyer and almost bawled at the sight of every familiar feeling that wrapped me. Taking a deep breath, I continued my way to his study/private office.

As I walked out from the bathroom back to the event, there he was - the last person I expected to see was standing before me, the man I once loved.Noticing me, he turned in my direction. Nathan was filled with rage mixed with regret; his eyes could tell, and trust me, I wasn't going to be swayed by mere looks. His gaze was intense, and for a moment, he seemed lost. His usual confident demeanor was replaced with uncertainty, but he managed to find his words. "Paula, please, you have to hear me out," he said. "I'm sorry for whatever you had to go through." He said it with so much sincerity that one would fall for, but obviously not me. At this point, I was getting irritated. Could this day get any worse? And did he really think a simple apology would fix everything? His words made me angrier. "You've got to be kidding me, Nathan," I said. "You're sorry? Really?" I repeated, my voice firm. "Just stay away from me, Nathan, and I won't have Alicia barking at me again. You should put a le
