"Ini, You did not leave yet? It seems that you are really stubborn." she said arrogantly. "I do not understand what you mean, Nannin." I said, trying to play dumb.
"Did you just get here? Did you not hear what I just said in my speech?" She asked firmly. "I stepped out for a moment, I wasn't present during your speech, Nannin." I lied
"My grandson found his true love, make sure to divorce him quickly." she said then walked away. I could have never imagined that Nannin hates me that much. I retained my tears and left.
I was at home in the garden when I heard my husband coming in "Ini, where have you been?" asked my husband as I entered the living room of our house. "It should be a question I ask you. Are we getting a divorce?" I asked, entering the house.
"No, of course not." he rebuked. "Just now your grandmother said that you found your true love." I looked deeply into his eyes saying those words.
"I already told you about this before we got married. They still want Annaelle as their daughter-in-law." he explained.
"Her name is Annaelle." I smirked, "Irem, if you know something is not in its rightful place, please let me know." I asked him,
"Ini, I am sorry. I am sorry for the lack of communication that occurred between us these past few days. It was my fault." He apologized, "Rest assured, I never thought of it as my fault." I reassured him, then walked to the staircase.
"The maid said Louis came back in the evening today when we were absent." He informed me, I climbed up the stairs after he said that. "Please don't cry, Ini." He said looking down.
My husband knew better than me that he was hiding things from me. A drop of tear ran down my face as I was walking to our bedroom. Irem came upstairs after I was done bathing. Without saying a word he went to the bathroom. I had already turned off the lights when he came out of the bathroom. He laid down on the bed then covered himself with the quilt. Suddenly he kissed my arm.
"What are you doing?" I asked, my husband did not respond but kept on stroking and kissing my body. I ignored him and closed my eyes. Later on my husband stopped and cuddled with me. "Goodnight." He said, "Don't forget to pray." I replied. "Goodnight." I said, we cuddle till dawn.
When I woke up in the morning it was 6:00 a.m., Irem was sitting at the dresser writing in his notebook as usual. A book that I never dared to read. "You woke up." He said,
"Good morning my love" he closed his book and walked up to me. He sat on the bed near me, looking at me he said "There is a thunderstorm coming, promise me we will survive it."
He then kissed me, laid me down on the bed "promised me." he begged, "I promised you." I replied. He kissed me again, then looked at me in the eyes. "May I?" he asked, "You have to go to work." I reminded him.
"I am the CEO, and I just granted myself a leave." he replied, "You may." I agreed to his request. An hour later I remembered something, "Huh!" I exhaled, "Did I hurt you?" he asked, "Not really, darling there are strong chances that you will be a father after this." I said,
"You are ovulating?" He asked, "hm hm" I nodded my head for a yes.
"I will be responsible for it, don't worry about that.". He then pulled out and got off me. He put his clothes on then picked me up and carried me to the bathroom.
