the Wife

VI

Even before the beginning of their relationship Giselle knew she wanted Alexander all by herself. She fought fiercely for Alexander's attention. Keeping him busy at the office so he would stay late and be with her. She even opt to wear provocative clothes in the office. She knows what makes him tick. There are times that she would spend days discussing with him their cases and their plans, calling him on his cellphone telling him everything on her mind then drop him like a hot potato the next day hoping that he would miss her. She played it ear by ear, not minding if she will hurt someone or if he's dating or taken as long as she would get what she wants. Shoving all her rivals at the firm because she knows that she's not the only one, but being the daughter of the Senior partner in the firm and with her brain and beauty, who would stand a chance? She doesn't care what was Alexander's past, all she cares is the present and his future and that she would be in it. Slowly, Alexander would bring her her, her favourite books, lunch or her special concoction of scent. Until one day she woke up in his arms and she believed things will never be the same...

For the past days or weeks, she noticed something's different with Alexander. Before he's always excited to tell her about his day, all his meeting and other things in between. He would go home with flowers or a surprise dinner date to her favourite fancy restaurant. On lazy sunday, they would stay home reading books and intertwined with each other. Somethings quite not right. Even their steamy sex- when did they last had it? Giselle would lose her mind if Alexander would grew tired of her. She will do her best to keep him but what if its all worthless? Is she back? Was it her? And why is she pregnant?

In her hearts of hearts, she prayed for the first time that her fears will not come true...
