Chapter 13
*Antonia’s POV*
It was 1 am when I checked the time on my phone, I don’t really know why I was suddenly awake but I was. I wasn’t feeling sleepy anymore. I looked at Christian who was sleeping peaceful on the bed, he looked tired after 8 hours of work, he should be.
Then, my mind flashed back to our conversation when he came back work. I seriously am mad that he has to go to the gathering with her, but I seem to have no choice but to deal with it.
I won’t say I’m scared but I’m seriously worried, what if I lose my husband to this woman? I would say not to believe her, but the kids, they seriously look like Christian and the results came out positive too.
And there me who can’t have no baby for him even after three years of marriage. We’ve been trying a lot, more like I have.
Christian seemed to be okay with me not having a baby, but I wasn’t. His mom and dad didn’t like me that much, they were never in support of our marriage and I couldn’t even bear a baby, this was bad for me.
I wonder what their reaction to Christian’s babies was, they were probably happy right? They probably like Laura right? They probably do.
*Yawns*
Alright, I seem to be getting my sleep back. Goodnight. As I laid on the bed, I heard my phone beep. Who would be texting me by this hour of the night?
I got up, again. It wasn’t mine, it was Christian’s. Who could be texting him. I took his phone and it was an official mail from work, isn’t something u should be concerned or worried about but I just wanted to read through the content, and I did.
It was concerning the banquet, it was about the housing recommendation as to where he would stay together with her during the banquet. I scoffed and wanted to drop the phone until I decided to do something else.
I went to his contact logs.

*Laura’s Pov”
“Hey, sleepyhead” I heard Rian’s voice in my sleep. “What do you want?” I muttered in my sleep. “Well, it’s morning love and you have a job, so?”
“No, I don’t. It’s.. my company.. I don’t have to go everydayyyy” I stressed sleepily.
“Well, you said the same thing yesterday darling” Rian said and before I could blink, he pulled me up and laid on his waist, my body hugging him completely.
“Heyy, wake up” He said when he realized my eyelids were still shut.
“I don’t want to” I groaned.

“Yeah, yeah I’m dressed up now, you can stop whining” I said with an eye roll. “Finally, morning my sassy queen” He said with a big smile plastered on his face.
“Well, this sassy queen of yours won’t be here with you forever, now that’s she about to be wedded off” I rolled my eyes again.
“Woah, what’s with the killer mood? I was just doing perfectly fine, don’t ruin my mood baby” He said as he moved closer to me and placed a kiss on my lips which I deepened when I kissed him back.
“Hmm” He said as he licked his lips, staring at him as I walked away from him.
“Um yeah..” I started as it suddenly clocked my mind as I settled in my seat.
“Yeah?” Rian asked as he joined me on the seat opposite him.
“Do you know the famous banquet coming up?” I asked though I was already aware he knew. Everyone in the city did.
“Yep, I do” He mumbled as he took a spoon of the hot hangover soup before him into his mouth.
“I will be going with Christian” I shouldn’t have said it at that moment, it was the wrong timing. He had something hot, pepperish going into his throat. That just wasn’t the right timing, I didn’t think too much about it. I mean I wasn’t expecting him to be shocked or surprised or anything, why would he be?
He spat everything out as he coughed incessantly while I hurried to pour him a glass of cold milk which he gulped down in an instant.
“Sorry, I should have waited” I said. “It’s.. fine..” He said in between his coughs. It wasn’t, he couldn’t stop coughing.
It’s been five minutes now and the cough seemed to have stopped now.
“Are you okay now?” I asked, concerned.
“Yeah I’m okay” He said with a slight cough.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were going to be shocked” I muttered.
“Yeah, it’s fine.. so?”
“Yeah, we are going together.. he suggested it though and I think it’s pretty okay and strategic, you know, just to get the public’s face off us” I said and he nodded in agreement.
“True, you’re right” He muttered. He looked a bit worried.
“What’s wrong? You look worried? Do you think something might happen, you know well that would never..”
“No, it’s not that. It’s just, really painful leaving my girl with about man in an enclosed place. It’s fine though, I trust you, and him.” He said and I chuckled.
“And why do you trust him?” I asked, getting up and positioning my self on his lap.
He wrapped his hands around my waist. “Well, he has a wife and the previous time we saw them, they really seem in love, you know? Just like us…” He said while I sealed his lips with a kiss which he responded to immediately.

“Did I miss a text?” I muttered to myself when I saw the “message” icon indicating a “+1” meaning there was a text unread.
I clicked on it and I was rather shocked to see whom it was from. Christian? Why would he message me? Directly too? The last time he sent me a message was through mail, so it was really strange that he had sent me a message, not until I read through it.
It was rather Christian, but his wife.
