Part 27 | Could Have Been
LISA
Jennie is in her 8 month of pregnancy already, the most sensitive stage. But I always make sure that she eats healthy, exercise and visits her OB regularly. I also took a leave from the office since last week until Jennie gives birth to our twins. I was hands on when the twins' room was renovated.
Thank God I handled all her mood swings well for the past months. Thank God I'm always ready whenever my pregnant wife is horny. One time we were at the mall and she was so mad because I didn't want to do it inside the mall's comfort room. But I can't resist my wife, so, you know it happened. Good thing it was a high end mall where the comfort rooms are cleaned regularly, but still. She would even do it sometimes in the car. Like we're on our way to our destination then she would insist to pull over and have sex. We did it all over our house when my parents left already and went home to East Street. Jennie became more adventurous. I didn't know pregnant women can be this so horny. But I was actually prepared for this since Dr. Adams already told me that it really happens to most of pregnant women when their sex drive increases.
Everything was fine. It was all good and we're so excited to face another chapter of our life as married couple until...
"Babe, come over here. Faster! Do you remember Alessa Moretti? She's all over the news!"I rushed when Jennie was screaming and told me to go downstairs.
"What is it?" I asked while hugging her from the back.
NEWS FLASH:
"Alessa Moretti, a 25 year old resident of Ciró Marina was arrested this morning for killing the Ricci family in the coast. It was a massacre. Moretti is confirmed to be the mistress of Orlando Ricci. She is also the daughter of the ex-convict Sergio Moretti who killed his wife Margarette Moretti. Based on our old files, the cause of the murder of Margarette was the vineyard she owned that she didn't want to transfer to Sergio. Before the murder happened, Sergio was able to have the title on his name."
A photo of Jennie's mother on the screen.
"What is this?" Jennie was shocked and became weak. I held her body tight. No tears are coming out from Jennie. I was too worried on her condition. She can't be mad right now knowing she is pregnant and it could affect her. What should I do. Should I call Dad so she can explain everything to Jennie? Or should I explain it myself. But I am not in the position to do so. I guided her to sit on the couch and took a glass of warm water for her.
After an hour, someone knocked on the door. Jennie and I are still in the living room. Not talking. I opened it and yeah..Dad.
"Dad, she found out already."
Dad went to Jennie and sat facing her.
"Jen, let me explain everything." Dad said.
"I don't know what to believe anymore, Dad. You kept the truth away from me for 28 years. I have been living with this lie for 28 years. You told me my mother died because of giving birth to me. There were times when I was a kid that I regret being alive because I was the reason why my Mom died." Jennie's tears are starting to fall.
"Jennie, I am sorry. I am really sorry. I couldn't afford to tell you that your Mom has been cheating on me and I divorced our marriage when you were 1 year old. I don't want you to think that she is a bad mother." Dad almost kneeled in front of Jennie.
"But I deserved the truth!" Jennie screamed.
"I know. And I am sorry, baby." Dad didn't stop apologizing.
"Give me time, Dad. I don't want to see you right now. I am sorry." Jennie's tears keep on falling. Dad left and I didn't know what to say to Jennie. I came to hug her.
