EVELYN'S POV

For the past weeks I have been trying to prepare for our anniversary party while keeping it as subtle and secretive as I can from my husband. Also I have been praying fervently that my baby bump isn't so visible as to make my husband suspicious and on the same vein I have been keeping my pregnancy hormones in check too. Basically with my acting skills so far I could debut as an actress and win actress of the year.

After the incident that happened on the first day we went to shop we went back again the next day to complete the rest of the shopping and took them to Eros' parents house since it is the location of the party. The next few days after it I and mum trimmed the garden and took care of the flowers to make the garden look so beautiful for the event. Due to the planning and preparation of the party I frequented the mansion often especially whenever Eros has left for work and come back before he gets home so that he won't suspect a thing. For the decorations mum hired a friend of hers who was into event planning to help us decorate the garden and so far we have been doing a great work and I can legit say I am proud of myself.

A few days to our anniversary I contacted the caterer in charge and they assured me they will be there also before hand I had given them a menu for the food which consisted of mostly Eros' favourites and since I wasn't a picky eater it was all good. As the D-day drew nearer I was so giddy, excited and nervous as well. I thought up all reactions Eros could make and I couldn't wait to see his main reaction.

Our anniversary is tomorrow and everything has been put in place. In as much as I have everthing planned out I was equally curious of what Eros had planned out for me. So far he wasn't obvious in his actions and I can't even guess if he remembers that tomorrow is our anniversary. If after tomorrow I surprise him and it turns out he wasn't aware of our anniversary then he would have another thing coming for him.

I was asleep when I felt a kiss on my forehead, then on my eyes, nose and lastly my mouth. I opened my eyes to find my husband smiling down at me.

"Good morning my angel and hope you slept well because today is going to be a beautiful day"

"Good morning babe" I greeted him back with a smile

"So what's happening today?" I asked him acting oblivious to what today is

"If you don't remember then it's not a biggie, I will just have to remind you"

He stood up and went out and the next minute he returned with a cake and a flower. He handed the flowers to me and when I took the flower I saw it has a note in it which read

It's been a year and the day we walked down the aisle and the rest became history. At first I wasn't so accepting and I regret that very much till this day and I'm grateful how it's been going and how loyal and loving you've been,I can't ask for more than be proud of you my love and I hope to grow into the man you will want to have your forever with. With a humble and honest heart I wish us HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ❤️

After reading the message a tear slipped out of my eye because I remembered the beginning of our marriage and how it looked as if our marriage was over even before it began but suddenly and unexpectedly it took a turn for the best. I stood up and gave him a hug.

"I am so happy being with you too. This decision of getting married to you has been the best decision and greatest gift my mum has given to me" I kissed him and hugged tightly again.

"Baby this is a happy moment so no crying okay" he shushed me

"These are just tears of joy so it's allowed right"

"Let's cut the cake because the candles are almost burning out" he said bringing the cake forward.

The cake was a chocolate cake with whipped cream which read "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ". We closed our eyes and made a wish before blowing out the candles together.

"What did you wish for?" He asked me curiously

"Wishes aren't made to be said aloud so that we don't jinx it"

We ate some part of the cake that morning then kept the rest in the refrigerator. We went to the bathroom to shower together and equally had a heated love making session to seal the morning celebration. After Eros was dressed for work he left while I prepared to go to the mansion. I got to the mansion and everything was in place already. I shot Ivan a text to remind him to do everything within his power to make sure he brings Eros over to his parents mansion. So we waited for the time to draw near but today became the slowest day ever. The time was trickling and my nervousness increased on how Eros will react when I tell him I am pregnant. Would he be happy or would he say he wasn't ready to be a father yet since it's only one year of marriage.

Once it was one o'clock the caterers came with the food and it was just Eros and the guests. Around 2pm the driver that went to the airport to get dad and aunt came back so we ushered them in yo freshen up. Their flight for yesterday was cancelled so that was why they had to fly I'm today. By 5:40pm everybody was here including Ivan and Ethan so it was just Eros that was remaining.

"Are you sure Eros will be coming straight to the mansion?" I asked Ivan nervously for the umpteenth time.

"Yes I made sure he would be coming "

We waited for Eros till 6:30pm and now I am weary of waiting so it was mum that was keeping me hanging by a thin thread. Ivan dialed him again and he didn't pick for the third time. Suddenly the in-house phone rang and Eros' dad picked it

"The security said Eros just drove in through the gate"

When dad said that everybody got up and headed to the garden to surprise him but instead we were the ones that got surprised

Eros stormed into the garden and charged at Ethan. He grabbed him by the collar and landed a punch on him

"I have told you to stay fucking away from my wife"

He looked at me with digust and threw a file at me

"I always thought you were different but now I know you all are the same" he spat out

He kicked down all the decorations and stormed out. I chased after him and when I got to him he merely looked at me before pushing me down and leaving
