Adria sat with Lee, sitting on the chair while her legs was on top Lee's lap, they both sat there eating berries as they talked about the movie
"I wonder why huyunyi acts like this, I can't see the facade in this whole scene." Adria said feeling pissed with the lead character of the series they were watching.
"Oh coming baby he used to be your favorite, what changed?."
"He is just not as cool as before can't you see? look! he just let that dude get to her whi-." Adria felt a pressure rushing from her stomach to her mouth and she instantly stood up and ran to the kitchen as she vomited in the kitchen sink, Lee who was worried followed her "Are you ok baby."
"Hm must be the fruits I had last night." Adria said as she turned on the tap taking water into her mouth as she rinsed off the bitter taste still stuck in her mouth, when she was done she poured water on her face and watch everything flush.
"Let's get back to the sitting room I'll call Steve to get you drugs." Lee said and they headed to the sitting room he called for Steve, Steve was a bodyguard that was assigned to Adria he was a skilled fighter from Russia but due to the fact he had lived in Korea he was fluent with Korean language as well as Japanese and Chinese. Lee gave few instructions to him and he left and he and his wife continued to watch the movie.
.
Later that night after taking the medicine she began to feel really bad as she felt pain in her stomach and the worst part was Lee wasn't home, he had gone for a meeting with a friend (business partner) to discuss some important things, Adria stared at the time and held onto her stomach grabbing her car keys and strolling to the car she called Steve to drive her to the hospital. Steve stared at her and seeing how she twisted her face in pain he asked "Are you ok mam."
"Please drive me to the hospital I think I got a bad thing in my system."
"Ok mam should I call sir."
"No no he must still be in his business meeting." she waved her hand dismissing the suggestion.
.
Lee and his friend sat together as they spoke about business and other personal matter,
"I'm surprised you didn't come with Mrs Lee."
"Ahh she refused to tag along and she isn't feeling too strong." Lee said as he stared at the drink in his cup.
"Oh what's wrong?." the man raised his brow at Lee's words.
"I think she had a fruit she was allergic to or something."
"And?." sensing an uneasiness in Lee, xu asked further. Lee's friend was a psychologist and knew Lee wasn't saying everything he wished to "Is everything ok at home Mr Lee."
"No I mean yes but it's just that- do you think is possible for people to change?."
"Change? in what sense?... Mr Lee please be clear is only the two of us here."
"Well lately my wife acts different, she is always grumpy she doesn't even want me to touch her and when she does they are boundaries feels like she finds me repulsive lately....tell me Mr xu did I age a bit I mean do I look old? or did I get ugly?."
xu bursted into laughter as this was the first time he has ever seen Lee being insecure about his looks, Lee wasn't pleased with this and frowned, seeing Lee was not so happy about his amusement he gave a fake cough and asked "Is that all?."
"The Adria I know was never lazy but these days all she does is eat and and she also dislike people she used to like including film characters and me, also once I made a joke of how she was getting a bit bigger and she walked away angrily the Adria I know doesn't act that way."
"That's odd the only time a woman does this is when she's pregnant."
"No no I thought about that but she's on pill I checked it and she has been taken them."
"Then I just think she just wants an alone time probably she is stressed from her work load and all that."
"Hmm it's really uncomfortable it feels like I'm leaving with a stranger."
.
Adria arrived at the closest hospital which happened to be lei's hospital she was lead to a vip room as they began to talk to understand how she felt, Adria gave a clear explanation of how she felt and the doctor who attended to her nodded in understanding and decided to run a test on her, when they were done they left her to rest while they go run the test to know what was wrong.
Steve stood outside waiting for long as he couldn't leave her alone. Lee got home to find the place empty he tried adria's phone but it was off so he decided to call Steve when Steve picked up and they spoke to each other he filled Lee on everything that happened and Lee rushed to get there, he was really stressed as he thought of how she looked ok when he left, so what happened again, rushing to the hospital he packed his car and stepped out of it just to bump into Lei
"Hey hey Lee." Lei shouted as he saw his old time best friend.
"Oh lei how are you?." said as he turned to leave.
"wait! hold on why are you so much in a hurry wow." Lei said as his hand got swatted by Lee.
"Adria is sick and she has been admitted to your hospital." Lee said hurriedly.
"What happened to her?."
"How am I supposed to know you are the doctor please excuse me." Lee left hurriedly this was the first time meeting again after a long time but Lee was too much in a hurry to chat so he left.
Lei on the other hand turned and followed him to the room on his way he met one of his doctor's on the door and they began to speak as she lead him out explaining something to him.
Lee entered the room and saw Adria laying down quietly as she stared at everywhere hearing the door open she turned to see her husband and she smiled brightly "Hey baby is the meeting over."
Lee nodded but there was fear in his eyes as he asked "How are you feeling dear?."
"I'm ok just a bit hungry but can't have anything till I know what caused the pain."
"Alright Steve will get you food ok." Lee said as he sat on the hospital bed and adria rested her head on his chest.
"Hm."
After some minutes Lei came into the room with a smile on his face, he felt like crying growing up he had always wanted Lee to have such happiness even if Lee had claimed back then that he wouldn't get married because of the way his mother have left his father. After the nightmare event they weren't that close as Lee felt it would be safe to distant himself from him for his wife as Lei didn't really like her but lei has changed and sees Adria in a different light. Lei was happy he would be the one passing this good new to lee, years has passed since that event and he really respected Adria now but he had tried to shot her once so it would take time to gain her trust or for her to accept him and his wife who had also discouraged her from marrying Lee too. He stared at the two people who was waiting for him to speak "Well Adria you didn't get any allergies or should I say you did react to an intake of food and you are totally fine-."
"Ah thank God." Lee interrupted as he was really worried.
"but the reaction was due to the fact that you are expecting." lei said
"What?." Adria frowned.
"Your pregnant."
Adria chuckled softly "Oh please Lei cut the joke and tell me the truth."
"your pregnant am honest."
"I'm on pills Lei." Adria began to drag that she had always taken her pregnancy prevention pills and she stared at Lee for back up and he did
"How is it possible lei she's really on pill."
"Well most times these pills could fail."
"please run the test again." Lee said.
"Umm I guess I'll run another test then." lei said
"Please do."
"Ok." Lei left to rerun the test to be sure this time.
Adria and Lee stared at each other in doubt "That can't be possible right I'm on pills and we aren't even ready to take care of a kid, we are way too busy haha the earth is trying to play a game on us or probably reminding us to start making plans for a baby." Adria complained how Lee and her were too occupied with work so how would they raise the kid with all the work they got.
After some time Lei confirmed it again and it was positive so he informed them Adria was shocked she wasn't ready and it was a bit of a shock for her though she was happy, Lee was shocked too but was too happy to even argue the only thing he said was "Grandma would be so happy." and with that Adria felt glad too Lei congratulated them and told them some important information in other to help the baby.
Adria and Lee were so happy once they got home they began to make plans for the baby actually all Adria did was lay down as Lee didn't let her move, Lee informed his grandma who was really happy and told them to be expecting her as she was going to take care of Adria to ensure she has a healthy baby, she was beyond happy as her grandson had fulfill her wish. They began to make adjustments in there company they appointed few people to take over the company for them temporarily so they could focus on the baby.
few months
Lee's grandma has began to stay with them and was taking care of adria so they convinced Lee to go back to work and after few talks he agreed, Adria was really happy as he hadn't been letting her outside the house for long but now she would be taking strolls and doing things she want as Lee's grandma didn't object. Today was one of the days Lee went for important business Adria decided to go for some shopping, Steve asked to follow her but she refused at his offer she left alone, while shopping a store keeper helped her out as she was already very popular, while shopping few people took secret pictures of her, after that day she had felt people trailing her but she got home safely the next day the new headline was about Lee's and his wife were expecting with the secret pictures shown or taken by someone who happened to see Mrs Lee at the mall. Lee was mad at her for leaving the house with out security and they had few argument but with grandma there the fight didn't last long as Lee apologized and begged her to always leave with security if she wanted to go out as he wasn't only worried about the baby alone but her too.
Since Lee gave her the permission to go out, she began to leave when important and with Steve too, who carried her things for her, today they were done shopping and she had forgotten her key in the mall and asked him to get it for her so they could get going while she waited she has an uneasy feeling like someone was watching her so she looked around carefully but when she saw no one she relaxed but immediately heard her name
"Adria." it was called gently but one could sense the urgency and need in the call.
Adria was shocked by the voice she heard she turned immediately to the direction the voice came for "A-asachi?."
Asachi looked lifeless as he was thinner, he had let his beards grow too much, he looked like he was really happy as he saw adria "I've been trying to see you all this years I can't believe you are- you are having a baby?."
"Asachi how is Sofia how are you doing why are you like this?."
"I tried calling you Adria but you never returned my call, you you went ahead with Lee."
"I'm married Ash and you know that, having external relationship isn't adviced." Adria said as she clearly didn't want to have this conversation.
"I need you adria, I won't be happy without you by myself, you can't just walk in and out of people's lives can't you see how miserable I've become I don't even know what is happening to me I just can't hate you I'm frustrated and that's why I choose to see you today as I know I won't get another chance."
"What do you mean asachi?."
"I haven't been able to breathe properly since how many years I only wait for you at your gate, and far distant to just see you, I even came to your wedding to see if I could talk you out of this but I was thrown out, I knock on your gate but I don't know why for some reason they don't even let me near the estate." Ash said as he took close step towards her.
Adria has dealt with stalkers before and it wasn't a good experience as most time they could turn violent and worst hurt her baby as ash stepped forward she placed her hand forward stopping him from coming closer while taking some steps back before ash could come any closer Steve arrived "Step away from her." he said as he pointed his gun at him, Asachi felt hurt as Adria moved away from him like he was a monster or someone who was going to hurt her.
"Please go ash."
"Adria." he said as he moved closer and Steve cocked his gun.
"Please." Adria begged as she began to feel stressed the whole situation was just complicated how did he even get here.
"I'm pleading Adria"
"Leave." Steve stepped closer as he dragged him out of adria's sight
when he left Adria tapped her chest as her heart was beating to loud she could even hear it from her ears, she watched as he was dragged out and tears slipped down her eyes and she quickly cleaned it, Asachi was a big part of her life it was just a shame they ended in a bad not, once Steve came back he opened the door for her, she got into the car and so did Steve as he drove them home on the way she begged Steve to keep Asachi's visit a secret as Lee would blow up and stop her from stepping an inch outside. This was the first stalking Adria had noticed but it confirmed the uneasy feeling she had about someone following her whenever she went out.
Asachi kept stalking her, several times she sees him at the mall at the hospital gate and many other places her stomach had increased more in size and it was a bit difficult for her to do things, Today Adria decided to get some fruits as the once in the fridge were finished, adria sees asachi again today and it made her sick, when she went to the mall to get some things her stomach was a bit big now, she saw him standing at the other side of the road a bit far from where she was and immediately a car passed him he was gone Adria was scared and knowing the stalking was now out of hand she told Lee, who was worried by the little piece of information and tightened there security as Adria had also complained of seeing him at the estate.
.
Due to fear and a bit stress as Adria was worried over little things like being a mother, given birth or mistakenly suffocating her baby, Adria would use a mirror to peep at her organ when she was alone, she would ask herself if that small hole could give birth to a big head human baby, adria's pregnancy was a bit tough because it was her first but they scaled through and on the 9th month they had a boy who looked so much like Lee, they were so happy and they spent time with there son and grandma as they withdrew fully from there work to take full care of there kid while there workers took over, adria's mom and Berlina came to help her too as she had never giving birth before, they would always celebrate the babies little victories like growing a tooth or trying to talk.
