{Marriage, Ann And Trust }
Calvin POV
We were about to enter my estate when my personal assistant, Pooja, made a suggestion.
“Hmm hmmm. ” She cleared her throat and I was forced to look at her.
“Are you okay? ” u asked and she nodded and looked away immediately… She wants to say something. Why isn’t she saying it? I thought for a moment. I decided to ask since she’s shy to do so.
“Do you want to say anything? ”
“Sir? ”
“You heard me well Pooja. ” I scoffed and she nodded and cleared her throat. What’s with her throat?
“It’s just a suggestion sir. ”
“What suggestion? ”
“How about you give your wife a surprise visit? ” She uttered, beaming with smiles.
“Oh! A surprise visit. ” I uttered and smiled, I decided to call her on the phone. Lied I wasn’t coming back, I felt how hurt she was on the phone.
“She sound hurt—”
“She will be fine when she sees you.. ” Pooja interrupted and I nodded. That being said, we drove inside my multi billionaire compound. I breath in the cool fresh air and head to the door.
Words can’t explain how I missed her. I canceled my tight schedules and chose to be with her for three months… Which will be Cali’s due time. I had everything planned.
“Babe. ” I called as I walked inside the living room and shut the door behind me. Pooja also came in.
“Babe, I called again and I saw her turn around. She looked shocked. Words can’t explain how shocking this might be.
“Cal… vin.. ” She stuttered, staring at me as if she just saw a ghost. Before I could think of talking, I rushed for her lips. Gosh! I miss them, my love for Zoey can’t be measured in meters, kilometers, centimeters… I don’t know how to explain how I got trapped in love with her. It got tense and I dropped my suit jacket to the floor. I decided to take the kiss deeply and slowly.
I slowly move my hand on her body, they are mine and mine forever. She wrapped her hand around my neck and gasped for breath. With that, we broke the kiss.
“Miss me. ” I mumbled, staring deep into her eyeballs. Those eyes carry fear, I became worried, wasn’t she fine when I was away?
“You… said… you aren’t…—-” She stuttered… What’s wrong with Zoey today, why do I feel she’s scared of something… she kept stuttering and I shut her with a shut up kiss, it only lasted for seconds and I broke the kiss myself with a concerned expression on my face. Zoey doesn’t look fine to me, but I will ask her later.
“Aren’t you happy I’m around? ” I asked, trying to hide the hurt in my voice. I get worried easily, especially when it comes to Zoey. I’m ready to go bankrupt just because of her.
“No.. it’s not,,, She stuttered, her hands were trembling but she hugged me quickly.
“I miss you. I love you Calvin. ” She uttered. What’s she hiding from me?? Questions started rising in my head. I don’t want to think if she’s cheating on me, because I’m hundred percent sure she can’t do such. But what’s making her scared?
“I love you too babe… I —” I wanted to ask her what’s wrong when I heard the voice.
“Come and tie my shoe for me mommy??? ” The shouted as she rushed out of the room we prepare for our first pregnancy then. Did Karen’s daughter Miranda stopped by… but then, Miranda won’t call her mommy. … I turned to look at the stairs and I looked back at her. Now I understand why she looks scared, the fear and her aura.
“Mommy??? ” I stuttered with a question expression on my face. Seriously, I was trying to assume who this girl could be. She could be Camila’s cousin I don’t know but then I remember this little girl called her mommy.
“Did you make an adoption behind my back? ” I asked, hoping it’s not what I was thinking. I just hope she’s just a daughter from her friends but then she doesn’t have friends and this girl called her mommy.
“Answer me Zoey! ” I yell without realizing. I shut my eyes and ran my hand through my hair.
“Leave this instant Pooja… ” I uttered and the sound of heels hitting the ground was heard,,, the door was shut after. My eyes were on Zoey all this while… Tears streamed down her cheeks and it stings my heart seeing tears on cheeks.
“How did she get in? Why is she here? She called you mommy? Zoey?? ” I called but she seems lost in thought… I shook her body and she gasped back to reality.
“Cal… vin…” She stuttered trying to touch me but I stopped her.
“Answer my questions Zoey! —-”
“Don’t yell at me… ” she screamed and the little girl shrank in fear.
“Why?, Why? Are you yelling at me… She’s Ann, she wasn’t adopted but I picked from the streets… Does she looks threatening—”
“Of course, she is. How can you bring a girl from the streets in? Without a proper background check? Without thinking it might be a setup. Are you that hungry to get pregnant? ”
Losing control of myself has been something I’m trying to control for the past five years. When I lose control of myself, I lose control of the words I say… Zoey pulled the trigger today and I lost it. She chuckled and chuckled and another, another.
“Are you mocking me for being barren? ” She stuttered as tears streamed down her cheeks.
“Of course, I’m barren… An empty womb. I’m that hungry to get pregnant. Gosh, those words carry another words of words. ” She sobs and looks at me.
“I’m hungry to get pregnant because it hurts when I see others with their babies… But I can’t carry mine, no waking up to prepare breakfast for kids. Because I’m kid-less… You happy with that??— ”
“Do you think I’m happy? Do you know how badly I want to see the kids you’re gonna have for me eventually… No, you don’t!. The doctor said we are fine, why are you thinking ill of yourself… Return her back to the streets and let’s wait. ”
“I’m not going to. ” She uttered, pulling the little girl’s hand.
“Zoey! ”
“I’m not going to because she’s homeless, an orphan, she is innocent of this accusation. ” She replied stubbornly.
“Zoey!! ” I called and took in my breath… I took a glance at the little girl and picked my suit jacket. I took the stairs and went straight to our matrimonial bedroom.
