Boudoir Secrets

Chapter 91

Sandra's phone rang and she hesitated to answer it. Was it him or the wife?

"Hello?" she whispered softly into the receiver.

"Baby girl! How is mummy doing?" his voice was full of warmth and it spread through her body like wild fire.

"Where have you been? I've missed you," she asked him, unsure if she should disclose his wife's visit or not.

"I have been tying up loose ends dearest heart, so that you and I can run away forever."

Sandra played with her bracelet and bit her bottom lip as she tried to stem the tears that flowed down her cheeks.

"Babe? Are you ok? What's wrong?" genuine concern filtered through in his voice.

She gathered her strength and confronted him, "Are you with me only to have a baby, then steal it from me and live happily ever after with your wife?"

A loud thump was heard as he pounded something on the other end and Sandra could feel more than hear his fury emitting through the line.

"Has she been to see you? Has that bitch hurt you? She is nothing but a malicious cow and we have been separated, waiting for our divorce to come through. What has she said? Tell me, has she hurt you? So help me God I will kill her if she has!"

Sandra slumped against the wall and sat on the ground. Relief washed over her as she realised that he still loved her and their baby and wanted to be a family. His concern was testament to that.

"No, she didn't hurt me physically. She came and said nasty things and left. She had your keys. How did she get them?"

He tried to recall when he had seen her last and how she would have taken them.

"I honestly don't know babe. I am so sorry. Please be ready to leave soon. I am almost done."

A cough and a females voice croaked in the background, "Who's that? Hello?"

Sandra felt tears welling in her eyes again, "Where are you?"

"Visiting family babe. I told you about my aunt that lives here in the neighbourhood. Old bat. I love her. Let me say goodbye and we'll be off soon. Kisses. I love you. Never forget that!"

She nodded her head and smiled through the veil of tears, whispering, "I love you too."
