Clinton was left outside while the doctor examined me, he had given me a shot so the pain was bearable now.
“You’re pregnant?” The doctor, sounding like a question, told me.
“Yes,”
“And your pregnancy is a rare, a risky one. I’m amazed at how this even happened,” the doctor said.
“Yes, I’m aware doctor. What was I doing wrong? Is my baby okay? What was that pain?” I panicked.
“Yes, your baby is perfectly fine. The pain was due to you not taking your medication,” he assured and I felt some sense of relief, “otherwise there’s nothing much for me to do except ask your husband to take good care of you.”
“No doctor, I mean don’t tell my hu
****“I mean you can just stay with me in the meantime before traveling,” I insisted.“I know you mean good but this is giving me an opportunity to meet my in-laws, this might push him to propose Jess,” Loren disagreed.It’s been days since her surgery, today was her release date and we were debating on flying back. I wanted her to come with me but she insisted to travel with Chris to her in-laws for now.“Alright, fine, don’t forget to always update me, and call me if you need anything.”
I was not going to cry, I brought this upon myself, I got up wiped my tears away and quickly searched for my phone, I started dialing Clinton’s number but it went straight to voice mail.I kept trying, pacing up and down in the living space, my eyes fixed on the door and suddenly it opened — my husband walked in.His eyes were red, but he wasn’t gone for long so I wondered why he was back so early. I was expecting him to go and drink or have a lap dance as that’s what he always does in such situations.I didn’t dare take a step towards him, he wal
I don’t know for how long I’ve been asleep but long enough as I felt energized.“Where’s my baby?” I asked the nurse who was checking my breast for milk.“He’s in intensive care Mrs.”“My husband?”“He’s with him, oh you should see them, they are just like twins,” she said, I smiled at her compliment.“For how long have I been asleep?”
They kept kissing each other without needing to catch their breaths, I couldn’t watch any longer so I rolled my wheelchair and headed back to my room although it wasn’t easy as I hadn’t fully recovered.“Mrs Clinton, I was waiting for you,” a woman dressed in her nursing uniform said as I pushed the door open.She ran to assist me immediately.“Are you alright?” she asked, spotting the tears in my eyes.“Yes I’m fine, something entered my eye,” I lied awkwardly blinking away tears but the
*****“Miss Thompson, it’s already past six,” my assistant Jessica reminded me — I changed my last name at work to intentionally hurt him which worked as he continuously begged me to change it.“Oh yes don’t worry I’m working pretty late tonight, I’ll see you tomorrow okay.”“Alright, just a reminder everyone has left the premises only guards, have a goodnight.”“Goodnight to you too,” I s
“She came to visit and since she’s the mother of Kiara I couldn’t let her spend her time in a hotel when we have plenty of unused rooms,” Clinton said and I felt my heart jump off my chest.“What a cute baby, he looks exactly like you Clint,” she said “hi baby, you look exactly like your daddy, you’re his copy, oh look at you,” she said taking Journey from Clinton’s arms. Surprisingly Journey wasn’t fearful at all he instead smiled at her as she played with him, “oh my he even has your smile,” she commented as she made her way inside passing between us.Clinton didn’t comment or say anything, instead he took Sophia’s suitcase and walked in —unbelievable. Sophia was playing with Journey as if her own son, she was good with kids as I saw Journey smile nonstop, he never liked strangers not even my own friend Loren, he would cry nonstop so it shocked me that with her he was okay. I walked to the bedroom with my eyes fixed on Sophia and my son since Clinton had taken Sophia’s suitcase to
“He’s fine,” my mood changed and he noticed.“Is everything okay?” he asked looking at me directly, I had to look away to avoid his eyes.“Yes, everything is fine, tell me how’s your life, I heard you’re managing the company, how’s that working for you? How does work feel?” I changed the topic.“Challenging but I’m getting there, this whole CEO position is not for me, it’s overwhelming but I’ve been managing, had to keep myself busy after losing the most amazing woman ever,” he said and tried to reach for my hands but I moved, “I regret losing you,” he added.“That’s great, I mean,” I cleared my throat to correct my words, “it’s good to hear. How’s your marriage with Lucy?” “Our divorce is being finalized,” he cleared his throat, “I respect you’re my uncles wife now, I won’t force you, your friendship is enough, I was a jerk and had lost you,” he said and I nodded, he had tricked me so many times in the past and I didn’t want to fall into the same trap again.“I found out Lucy was ne
“Jade? You still communicate with my nephew? Jess, what’s going on here?” he shouted.“Okay I’m really tired I need to take a shower,” I said and tried to walk to the bathroom but his big hands held my wrist, I didn’t even realize the time he got to my side.“Don’t funcken play with me Jess!” his grip tightened.“You’re hurting me,” I tried to struggle but was I kidding? His hands were unmovable.“That’s exactly how I feel, you talking to my nephew is squeezing my heart,” his voice was filled with anger. “I’m not talking to your nephew.”“Then why do you have his number? Why is he calling you?” he shouted.“I don’t know, why don’t you pick and find out,” I challenged, I wanted to confront him about the hospital incident but where would I start?“It better be nothing going on between the two of you, he knows better,” he sounded like threatening me.“What if something is going on, you’re going to kill me?”“Listen to yourself, your son is in another woman's arms crying in pain and you’
