Myra’s POV
It's already past 10 pm and yet Damien is still not home, I couldn't sleep. The thoughts of something bad happening to him got me scared. I got out of bed and made my way to the lounge to call my husband’s secretary Mr.Jack.
“Hello Mrs. Graham hope all is well ma’am”
“Signs” I am sorry Mr.Jack for calling so late in the night, your boss isn’t home and his line isn't available so I wanted to find out if he's working late tonight,”
He clears his voice and speaks in a formal tone, “Mr. Graham had an urgent meeting so he's out of town but he will be back tomorrow,”
I said “Ohhh!” in a hushed tone and Mr.Jack asked if there is anything he will assist me with, I turned down the offer and thanked him before ending the call.
I decided to go to the kitchen and prepare a milkshake hoping it will help me relieve tension. Standing close to the window staring at the sky “ my life is as gray as the clouds that I witness through my windows. But the gray cloud will disappear once it rains. And I hope all my worries would disappear as well.
I tried calling Damien’s number again this time it rang but he didn't pick up I quickly sent him a text “ Babe I miss you let me know when you get this, I love you”
I decided to go and rest my body because the baby's kicks are becoming intense.
It's morning already, and I got out of bed to use the restroom and also have a bath. I turned on the shower and allowed it to drain my body. The feeling has a way of relaxing and soothing the body.
The buzzing of my phone made me step out of the shower and enter the bedroom I picked up my phone from the dress stand and it was Sonia calling
“ Hey, preggy bunny wanted to find out if we can go to the baby shop today” smiling. I said yes to her. At least it will keep me busy and I won't have to worry about my husband.
I stood in the mirror admiring my naked body most especially my baby bump while speaking and praying to my Lil one. I haven't chosen any name for her because I am yet to tell Damien about the baby's gender. I signed and moved to the dresser to pick out something nice to wear.
Taking out a pair of jeans and a white tee, I got myself ready to meet up with my bestie, arriving at Sonia’s house and the smell of pancakes and fried eggs made my stomach rumble, reminding me how hungry I was. After breakfast, I went to the lounge while Sonia cleared the dishes and also dressed up.
We got into the car and drove off while playing Count on me by Bruno Mars. We sang our hearts out while playfully mimicking each other, and we arrived at the mall and walked toward the baby clothing stores.
We shopped for some baby essentials, pram suits, rompers, sleepsuits, goodies, and socks. We selected pink, yellow, and white colors. We also checked for a baby shower deco, and after the shopping, we decided to go have lunch in one of the classy restaurants.
We arrived at Golden Greek restaurant and while waiting for the waiter to come and serve us, I got a message from my husband informing me that he was home and wants to see me. I had to quickly text him back that I'm with Sonia but will be back soon.
Sonia can easily notice that my mood changed because I was very excited and asked if it was Damian. I said yeah, and she giggled. The waiter arrived and we placed our order, I ordered macaroni and cheese and Sonia ordered apple pie, our order arrived and we ate in silence after the meal, I settled the bills and we left the restaurant, we got into the car and I dropped my bestie in her house after hugging and kissing each other goodbye.
I started driving home in a high spirit, more like I’m so eager to see my husband, Damian means the world to me. Looking at his blue eyes makes me weak to my knees “Gosh” I'm in love”
Driving back to the mansion and all my thoughts centered around Damian, I arrived and quickly got out of the car ready to meet the love of my life, but it seems Damian isn't so pleased to see me. I went close to give him a welcome hug instead he took a few steps back and gave me a cold stare.
My fragile heart can't take all this mean treatment and I forced myself to ask him “why he is being too cold to me,”
His reply gave me shock “ you don't have any right to question me, I owe you and I do whatever I want,”
How arrogant and rude could he be, I'm dreaming someone please wake me up. This can’t be my charming and loving Damien. What happened? What did I do wrong?
Just as I was about to tell him about the baby's gender, his phone rang and he quickly picked up, it was Mr.Jack informing him that his mum Empress Graham is requesting his presence in the grand villa, he asked if there is an emergency and his Secretary said No then he replied with okay while turning to look closely at me and ended the call with a sign.
He looked worried even though he makes an effort to hide it, then he told me that he has employed a live-in nanny and she will be arriving at the mansion today, he veered around to go
I called out his name “Damian can we talk, please”?? He turned and took some steps forward and said in a soft one “ go on please “
I smiled and look into those dreamy eyes of his and said, “We are expecting a baby girl,”
He didn't say anything and his face was void of emotions, he looked at me and nodded his head, and left. I was confused and broken and I sat down on the couch and allowed the tears to flow.
