Pregnant

"Mrs Morris, your pregnancy test result is out," a doctor said to the young lady, who was sitting before him with an anxious expression in his office. "There is no contradicting issue in your health, except for some good news."

"What news, Doctor?" That young lady, Selina Morris, asked, looking curious.

"Congratulations, Mrs Morris. You are a month pregnant." He held out the report paper to her.

Selina collected the report paper from him and read it herself to be certain she hadn't misheard him.

She had been dizzy and nauseous for the past month and thought it was just a minor fever.

However, as it persisted, Selina thought of coming to check up on herself in the hospital.

Selina read the written words on the piece of paper and confirmed that her pregnancy result was positive.

An adorable smile settled on her lips as she exclaimed. "I'm really pregnant,"

"Yes, you are pregnant. I suggest you arrange an obstetrician who would educate and help you through your pregnancy," the doctor advised.

"Yes, I will. Thanks for your concern, Doctor." Selina said as her voice leaked happiness.

"Please come with me for some supplements that would ease your pregnancy." The doctor added, and Selina nodded while the doctor left her alone.

"Zane won't be aloof to me anymore. He might decide to reciprocate my love and give our marriage a second chance to blossom because of the baby who is yet to come. I can't wait to share this news with him." Selina muttered as the smile never left her lips for a second.

She placed her arms around her flat tummy, eager to share her pregnancy report with Zane.

Although, at the second thought that Zane didn't want a child yet, her smile slowly dissipated. It made her feel uneasy about how she would reveal this pregnancy report to him.

She could not tell what his expression would become once he received this news from her.

She guessed it was best to tell and convince him than do nothing about it.

After Selina thought briefly, she stood up from her seat and went after the doctor to get some drugs.

As Selina got her prescriptions, she drove away from the hospital and stopped by Zane's company.

Zane Morris is the CEO of the RIS group. He had been running the company for years and it had grown to be the most flourishing company in the country among other companies.

Thinking about Zane's achievements, a proud grin settled on Selina's lips while she was staring at the nameplate that had the name CEO ZANE MORRIS On it.

She was in his office to meet him, but his assistant told her he was still busy with a few clients before she came and that she could wait if she wanted to.

Selina darted her eyes to his magnificent spacious office, though the beauty of his office couldn't ease the burning anxiety in her.

She had been waiting for the past half-hour and wondered when he would step in to meet her in his office.

Suddenly, she saw the doorknob move open, and a familiar figure with a frosty expression walked in. That person was tall, handsome, and gallant in his black suit while striding towards his desk.

Seeing him, Selina stood up from the couch there with a smile. "Zane?" She called his name softly, but she noticed his gaze didn't meet her.

Zane approached his executive seat. He sat on it before asking in a frosty tone. "What are you doing here, Selina?"

Selina moved from her spot and went to him. "I came to see you because I missed you, Zane," She answered, smiling at him.

When Zane heard her, his eyebrows creased and his cold amber eyes that concealed no emotions were on her.

"You can't just walk into my office whenever you miss me. I might return to the mansion once I'm done in the office. This is an office, not a romantic place for spouses to meet." He sounded stern and a little irritated.

Sure, he was right, but how could she stop her heart when it yearns for him? She barely saw him at home, nor did they spend time together.

Selina bitterly beams when she hears him sounding a little upset with her presence here. "I'm sorry, Zane. I should have waited a little longer." She apologized, and Zane uttered no word as there came a momentary silence.

As her pregnancy report came across her mind, she said again. "Zane, could you reschedule your closing hour today?"

"Is there a problem?" Zane asked with an eyebrow raised.

"We only went on a date twice before our wedding, and we don't spend time together. I missed those moments a lot. Zane, I was thinking we should go to a five-star restaurant nearby and have dinner together for a while. I mean, fifteen minutes will be okay." Selina pleaded, her eyes glittering with the hope he wouldn't reject her again.

"I don't involve personal affairs with work here. There is a time for everything, Selina. We can't have those moments you have been thinking." Zane answered indifferently.

"Zane, tonight will be the best day among others we have spent together if you come with me. Trust me. I have something to share with you." Selina said, persuading him again.

"I wouldn't go with you. Go home, Selina." Zane declined her offer. His voice sounded firmer this time around.

Selina understood that no amount of persuasion she would use on him would work. Her bright expression from earlier turned gloomy, recalling he had never agreed to her demands. He didn't seem concerned about letting their relationship grow in love and compassion.

She had been trying hard to make her marriage blossom into love. Instead, the turmoil in their marriage won't cease when Zane has another woman in his heart whom he loves most and spends quality time with.
