Outside the obstetrician/gynecologist department, the whole corridor was filled with expecting couples. Some ladies with big baby bumps were walking in the hall supported by their husbands. All of them glowing with motherly radiance, happy smiles beaming on their faces. Rhyna felt a little envious looking at the them. Being a mother is supposed to be an happy event but to her it came as a shock
She put her hand on her still flat abdomen, there was a tiny life growing inside. It was already more than three months old without her knowing.
After leaving the hospital, Rhyna started walking in the direction of home. She couldn't hail a cab, it would cost a lot of money. She didn't have much left in her savings and it was still a week before she will get her salary. But after walking a few meters she started panting. Due to pregnancy she got tired very easily these days. She wanted to look for a bench or something to sit down for a bit, when a black maybach suddenly came to a halt near her. The dark tinted window rolled down revealing a cold and handsome face sporting dark sunglasses. This man was Vivian Alfred, the youngest billionaire and the handsomest man alive on the planet. The dream lovers of thousands of women, but their dreams broke when he became her husband.
"Get in" Vivian spoke through clenched jaw. The hard edges of his jaws revealing his anger. The word of refusal that almost came to her lips was swallowed back, Rhyna nodded and sat beside him in the copilot seat.
The black maybach sped off through the busy streets of the city, finally stopping in front of a huge ancient styled villa.
Vivian walked out of the car, slammed the door shut and stormed inside the villa without even looking back once. Rhyna took a deep breath, calmed herself down and then followed him inside as well.
This ancient styled villa was the ancestral house of the Alfred's. This villa was said to be more than a hundred years old. The grandfather of Vivian, Robert Alfred still lives in this ancestral house, everyone else has moved out long ago. Vivian was really close to his grandfather and he was the only person that he listens to.
Her marriage to Vivian was also because of his grandfather words.
"Come here my good granddaughter, come to grandpa" as soon as she entered the villa, grandfather's happy voice came
Rhyna smiled softly, grandpa was the only person who had ever shown kindness to her. She walked towards him and held his wrinkled hands gently "How are you grandpa?"
Grandfather laughed lightly "Good good, only you care about grandpa" he then glared at Vivian "This brat only knows how to anger me"
Vivian didn't care about his glare though, he calmly took the coffee mug passed by Mr Butler.
Although annoyed, grandfather didn't want to care to much about his rude grandson so he turned to obedient grand daughter in law "What do you want for dinner, tell grandpa. I'll have the chefs prepare"
"Whatever grandpa likes, any way the food here is so delicious" Rhyna said, to which grandpa broke into a hearty laughter
