Ariel POV
I got off work quite early today, and since I wasn’t feeling too well, I decided to go to the hospital for a medical check-up. I have been having some difficulties in my lower abdomen, and the pain is really much on me, so I had to drop by the hospital.
‘Your cervix is too tight, and you need to have sex much more often to enhance safe delivery later’ recalling the doctor’s words for the fifth time as the cab I boarded drive me home, I sigh briefly.
“Drop me here, Mr.,” I suddenly say to the driver while we are still on the road.
“But we are not yet at the address you gave me,” He inquires while looking at me through the visor, and I sigh briefly. I just want to take a walk, and maybe I will feel much better by then.
“I forgot something, and I need to go back for it,” I reply to him, and he finally pulls over at the side of the road, after which I step out of the car.
“Never mind,” He utters and drives away, refusing the money I gave him. Is he kidding me?
I take a deep breath and throw my head back as the gentle breeze blows on my face, and I feel much better now.
“Let’s take a walk, Ariel. We need to clear your head,” I whisper before I start strolling down the road. It’s almost dark, but I don’t really care. Now that I think about what the doctor told me, I suddenly feel horny. What the fuck?
‘Should I just tell Max about it?’ I ask myself but dismiss the thought immediately because I won’t ever do that. It’s like asking him for sex, and there’s no way I was ever planning to do that.
After walking down the road for what seemed like forever, I finally find myself in front of the gate, and make my way in, bearing in mind that I may see hell in there, because why not? Since Alicia is there to show it to me, so it’s something I should always keep at the back of my mind.
I stop once I walk inside the living room and find Max sitting on the couch and staring into space.
“What is wrong with him?” I mumble, but I decided to mind my business and just head to my room.
“Are you too going to ignore me, Ariel?” I stop on my track and blink my eyes rapidly in confusion, wondering what he meant by that.
“Huh?” I turn to find him on his feet.
“I don’t have the right to ask you this, Ariel… but… do you… love me?” His question makes me freeze on the spot, and I gulp down nothing as I slowly clench my fists, and bite my bottom lip. Does he need to ask me that, or is that it’s not obvious enough that I love him?
“Have you ever asked yourself what life will be like if you were the only one in my life? Have you ever imagined how it’d be like to have me all to yourself?” He questions me, and I feel my heart flutter as I only stare at him.
“Yes, I have a wife… I shouldn’t be doing this… I should get a hold of myself, but I can’t fucking do it. You are messing with my head, Ariel…” He pauses and runs his fingers through his hair like he’s going crazy. Maybe he is really going crazy.
“Yes, it’s crazy how I developed this feeling for you when I have a wife, but…”
“If I ask you to… Will you leave her for me?” I ask him confidently as I finally turn to face him, staring at him daringly.
“Aren’t you ashamed of yourself, Ariel? He is married, and you are nothing, but just his breeder, how dare you cross your boundary?” My subconscious mind screams at me, reminding me how horrible and how much of a selfish girl I am, but this is my right. I have every right to do this because I’m a part of his life already even though I’m not more than a breeder to him.
“Have you fallen for me enough to want to leave your wife for me? Will you divorce her to be with me?” I ask him for the second time as I slowly count my steps toward him until I’m standing in front of him.
“Will you?” I ask him for the third time, and I can see the nervousness written on his face. I know he loves me, I can see it in his eyes, but until he can leave her for me, then I will believe him.
“Ariel…”
“You can’t, right?” A smirk creeps up my lips.
“Do you still love her? Do you still have some feelings left in you for her?” I further ask him, and he sighs briefly as he bites his lips.
“She’s carrying my child…”
“I see. I am nothing, but a breeder. How was I even expecting to be treated specially? That’s crazy and selfish, right?” I giggle softly as a drop of tears slid down the corner of my cheeks. I need to do this for the sake of my unborn child. I don’t want him to be taken away from me later. Yes, you can call me selfish and all that, but I would kill for my baby. I can’t afford to give the baby out to her later and leave just like that as if this never happened.
“No… no… no it’s not like that. I…”
“Then will you leave her for me if I’more than a breeder to you?” I ask him, and he sighs briefly.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t,” He shakes his head, and I step away from him and scoff repeatedly. I was expecting that anyway, but I’m never going to give up. I won’t ever stop.
“Alright then. Have a good night,” And with that, I turn to leave, but his next words make me halt on my track.
“Let’s get married in the court, Ariel,” He suddenly says, and my eyes narrow in shock.
“Huh?” I turn to face him.
“Yes… Let’s get married. I love you, and I want to be with you. Your baby will be my legal child, only if we get married, ok? I don’t want you to see yourself as my breeder anymore, but as my wife,” He utters as he stares at me intensely, and I gulp down the sudden lump that forms in my throat. This is crazy, and I wasn’t expecting it…
