            Daniel's POV

"What about this?" She asks coming out of the dressing room in a baby yellow halter neck top and a navy blue tight jeans with black ankle length high heel boots. I take time to admire her gorgeous body as she turns and waltzes around the chair am seated on.
"You rock babe. You look amazing."
"You said same thing with the last three outfits I chose. What's wrong with you?" She asks cupping my face in her hands.
"I said that? I didn't say the rocking babe part." She smiles and says
"Its final am picking this one and the purple evening dress and the golden heels I can see you're already getting bored." She says going back to the dressing room. A few people are already casting glances at us.
She comes out carrying the stuff she's buying. After paying Javier signals us to follow him out shielding us from the crowd of reporters standing at the doorway ready to dig into Y'vania's life.
All the way back home Y'vania doesn't talk to me all she does is chuckle slightly or offers a faint smile when Javier says something funny.
When the car pulls on the garage Javier gets out talking to someone on phone. I open the door and step outside but not quick enough Y'vania pulls me back in and shuts the door staring daggers at me.
"Ouch! Y'vania you're squeezing my wrist way too tight." She loosens the grip and lets out a smirk.
"What's  the problem with you today? " I ask freeing my hand from her grip.
"I should be asking you the same thing Mr husband."  She says in a sarcastic tone. I smile holding her hands into mine.
"Its nothing Mrs wife. Just tired maybe and my dad called this morning just to piss me off but am okay don't worry. OK let's go we need enough time to prepare ourselves for the event."
She opens the door to her side and gets out throwing the bags on my lap.
"Your punishment for keeping me worried." I smile picking them and heading in with her a few steps ahead of me.

"At least she bought that."

"What did you just say?" She asks as she opens the door wide and signals me to get in stifling a smile.
"Nothing." I say with a shrug.
"Okay ladies first." She says faking a man's voice.
"Well at least am not the lady here just get in." She narrows her eyes and tackles me in attempt to  make me fall but she fails and ends up on my back laughing as I threaten to drop her.
Javier ends the call and stares at us shaking his head and mutters something under his breath taking the grocery bags and heading to the kitchen.
"What's with you guys today acting all weird? Wait are you pregnant? Javier let's start with you. Who is the father?" She asks getting off my back and heading to the kitchen. Javier drops the bags on the counter and chuckles.
I grab a bottle of doctor pepper from the fridge and sit on the couch directing my gaze on my phone.

When I heard people saying the world is a weird place I really didn't trust them at first but now I have enough reasons to. You never know what tomorrow brings and how people change.
Ever since the baby issue which we tried our best to hide from the press Y'vania and I have been doing this pseudo dating thing calling each other Mr and Mrs husband and wife. Y'vania started it as soon as we got out of the hospital a few weeks later. She was broken and so sad but after seeing a psychology therapist for a month she started to see everything with a different point of view and I can say she has mastered the art of letting go.

What still disturbs me is the real reason for the still-birth. It wasn't due to the sickness as the doctor told her. It was something else.
A few minutes  after putting Y'vania to sleep the doctor called me in his office and told me the most shocking news. Someone had tried to get rid of both the mother and baby at some point. The doctor suspected that it might've been a mix up of the medication given during the Aplastic anaemia treatment, that the doctors back in Atlanta had no idea that she was expectant or someone must've done it on purpose.

That one stuck into my mind given the turn up of events. The doctor tried to dig for information but I was too angry to speak up and got out clenching my fists and got into the elevator thinking of all possible things that could've happened when she was under the care of the Millers. I think the doctor understood my situation given that I was ' Y'vania's husband ' and didn't follow me out.
Something however didn't sit right in my mind. If Anthony did this what was the reason behind it?

Something then clicked in my head, something Y'vania said, a few weeks after settling here during our knowing each other better talks she told me that Anthony's dad tried to get rid of her at some point in life and that he poisoned Y'vania's dad to death. If that's the thing then doctor Miller must have had a hand in getting rid of the baby. Maybe he's working with Y'vania's paternal family. But why? I don't get the main reason for such hostility and the fact that Anthony might have participated in getting rid of Y'vania keeps on disturbing me.

I take a long sip of the drink and place it on the table sighing heavily.

Okay back to what brought all these thoughts. The comments someone left on something I posted this morning, an article from a trending magazine about Y'vania and I. The comment has some hidden meaning and I can tell the person knows me in some kind of way. The unknown person known as  'Kingsneverdie' wrote:
"Too good to be true dude."

The thing is I don't know who this person is but I guess he's trying to find a way of rubbing me up the wrong way. Well he should count it as a failed mission. After trying several tricks I finally got to know who the person is and it happens to be none other than Anthony Miller.
A few hours later he inboxed me saying he's coming to get what's his and that's the thing confusing me.

Coming to get what's his? Is he still into Y'vania? if he knows about the baby and what they did to him then he wouldn't be saying all this. I'ts obvious he hates Y'vania by now.
If no then its the exact opposite. He knows nothing about all this drama and that leaves his dad as the main suspect.

"Earth to Daniel!" She shouts making me to jolt upright.
"Y'vania you are gonna kill me then you'll be a widow forever." Javier laughs from the kitchen and Y'vania lets out a mischievous  smile sitting beside me.

If at all she knew what's really happening.

"What did he say?" She asks without staring at me and for seconds I try to remember what I told her as a reason for my unusual quietness.

Oh! My dad.

"Um.. just the usual. Trying to rub me up the wrong way he called me an idiot for deciding to follow my mother up here."

She looks up and places a hand on my shoulder staring at me deep into my eyes.

"You know what Daniel? I know he's your dad and you're his only son but by now he should've realised that you're more mature when it comes to making life choices ,something he's incapable of."
I go quiet trying to reflect on her words and as soon as I get what she means I can't resist the smile on my face as I pull her closer. She returns my smile with a slight nod and leans in for the much awaited hug. She knows I need this as much as she does especially for this day that seems to be longer than usual.
