Opening the door, I found him sull rotating the car engine as he tried packing it well amidst the 40 cars already in our huge garage.
All I could do was lean on the wall and watch him, his eyes focused on what he was doing his dark eyes made me fall in love with him. His chiseled, sharp jow made him look more Greek than the real Greek.
He turned, and our eyes met through the witsdone that was rolled down, he winked at me and I felt my face flush so hard that I couldn’t stop the

Once he was done packing, he exured out of the car, closing it gently, I could see a hesitation from him before he started walking towards me.
With his 5.7 height, he is considered tall compares to my 51, and the fact that I can easily wrap my hands around him made me fall more and more. The black Armani suit on him made his shoulders so enhanced making him stared out, a little, I think.

Marriage with Ere has been so exciting, even though I was the one who pursued him until he gave in to marrying mb after falling helplessly in love with me, it made all those months so worth it for me.
“Hey I looked up to see the look of uncertainty that crossed his eyes before he cleared them off 1 will be back shortly, I need to take this call. He said, indicating the phone I never knew he was holding.
1 nodded as he looked at the phone and then smiled at me before heading towards the stairs.
As I stood there looking at the delicious meal that I had prepared for him, a thought crossed my mind.
Eric always takes the call even when I know it is business and vital, he never hesitates to take the call before me.
Shaking my head, I pushed the thoughts so far away from me that I couldn’t think about anything right now.
But these thoughts that hold me can’t get away from my mind. For the last couple of days, my perfect husband has been sneaking around me. It felt weird and in a way, I wanted to know what was happening.
I mean, it might be a business or something, but what is the harm in finding out
Leaving the food that lay there, I walked towards the stairs, listening to his voice before choosing a room to walk into,
One of the doors that leads to the kids‘ room which we had prepared was open, so I walked inside without thinking twice.
I could hear his voice, he was inside the bathroom.
Something was weighing on my heart, telling me to walk out from here, but I have always been so intuitive, and I’m letting that side of me out
I walked towards the bathroom drop, dropping my ears there.
said I’m going to tell her, okay? You don’t expect me to just drop it on her right now” He said to the person over the phone.
Tell her what? What is he planning to drop on her!
I listened closely as I became more interested in what was happening here

“Listen to me joyer, I said I would tell her, you have to trust me on this one babe “
Joyee? Rabe?
Taking my cars off the door, my whole body is frozen, Joyce? The only Joyce I know that Eric knows is my sister, babe?
No. it can’t be, he probably meant “babe as in me babe
My hands are suddenly shaking, my feet are heavy, and I just want to hold something.
I need to take a step and pretend that I never heard even a drop of that conversation, but my mind has a mind of its own.
“Listen to me
to me babe, I will not allow anything to happen to you and the baby, you have to trust me on this one.”
A low cry made its way out of my mouth, what the hell is he talking about?
What baby is he talking about?
I held on to the door, the whole room was looking so different, shades of blue, my eyes were burning as my head felt so heavy and all I wanted to do was drop on the floor, my whole body was shaking so terribly.
I heard a muffled sound and then the door opened.
The room fell into an unexplainable silence as his eyes bulged from the shock of seeing me there.
My heartbeat skyrockets, I will not believe anything unless it comes out of his mouth
“Birdie L.”
I cleaned the tears that suddenly dropped from my eyes. I don’t know anything yet, so why are my eyes suddenly so itchy?
“It’s okay, I’m sorry that I was eavesdropping on you, I just. I wanted to call you to have dinner My eyes lit up with a sad smile as I turned back, I would rather not hear anything.
“Birdie.” He called again, and this time I was hastening my step to leave the room when’t felt a hand on my shoulder, stopping me from taking another step.
I stopped, closing my eyes before turning and looking at him

“I’m sorry Birdie, I am so sorry” He apologized, his head bent low as his hands were still holding onto my shoulder.
1 let out a snickered laugh, moving backward.
“I’m sure you have an explanation Eric, I. I will just pretend I didn’t hear that, you don’t need to tell me anything.”
Before I could think of moving, his hands stopped me, and his eyes were determined.
“I will tell you the truth, I have to tell you the truth.”
Why is this truth holding so much? It felt like my heart was about to drop, I didn’t want to hear it, but as I stood there, I knew I had no choice.
“Someone is pregnant for me. Hirdie, and it’s y
your sister Joyce”
