DECEPTION AND REVENGE

CHAPTER ONE:THE GIFT OF LOVE (PART ONE)

Anxiety was conspicuous on her lovely face as the nurse performed an ultrasound scan on her. "Let my unborn baby be okay" she prayed vehemently. Becca knew she would not survive another loss, it would be too much for her to handle. She made sure to carefully check the facial  reactions made by the nurse, currently none were disheartening.

"Wow, congratulations becca, you are expecting a pair of twins" the nurse exclaimed with a sincere smile on her face. The nurse, regina,  happened to have witnessed the pain becca went through the last time she was pregnant. Becca was overwhelmed with joy and she immediately stood  up and placed a kiss on regina. "Thank God, dear regina, i am speechless."
Becca had grown up in a Godly environment with extremely strict parents who taught her that if anything good happened to her she would always remember to thank God and if anything went haywire, repentance would be best.
Becca had never defied that teaching up until she lost her pregnancy, what sin had she committed that was so dire?. But for this gift she was truly grateful to the heavens, and she hoped it would remain that way.
After clearing up with the hospital she rushed back to her car so that she would take the good news back to her husband, Richard.
Richard was a topic she always tried to avoid. The only reason she remained married to him was that her parents avoided and opposed divorce like a stain. On her lowest moments he cheated on her when he was supposed to be her pillar and to make matters worse it was with rosalinda, his secretary. He had also moved out of the house and went to live with his mistress and that was the darkest time becca had ever been through, pain or demons to the superstitious pushed her to committing suicide, and she tried but out of all that she lived and she became stronger. When richard noticed all that he shamelessly wanted back in, were it not for becca's parents he would have only seen her in passing.
Though later on he was repentive and ended his affair with rosalinda, becca forgave him half heartedly.
The twins were a blessing to her and she knew it, she embraced it and she would do the impossible to make sure they were born.
As soon as she got home she decided to prepare her husbands favourite meal, maybe it would bury the hatchet. She did not want her children to be born in an environment that experienced the cold war.

              **********
After a long day at work Richard decided it was time to go back home to his wife who never even looked at him twice without distaste. The drive back home was slow as thoughts ran wild through his head, he only wished he would turn back time and do things differently.
He parked his car at the garage and he got out. As he opened the front door an inviting smell attacked his nostrils and he was amazed, when did things change?. He directly went for the kitchen and found his beauty busying herself with the cooking pot preparing his favourite meal, chicken stew.
"Good evening my love." Those words startled becca and she immediately turned to face Richard and she was livid. Who had given him permission to call her such names, her eyes turned dark and she almost slapped him.
He was immediately scared of that look, it meant that war was brewing and his eyes turned misty as tears threatened to be let loose.
"Good evening Richard." She replied coldly. He knew he had messed up big, before all that mess she used to treat him as a king but now she treats him like a king of the gutters. He mustered courage to talk to her.
"What is the occasion becca?,that is my favourite dish." He asked as his hands shook in fear.
"I will tell you later on after taking our supper."
He left the kitchen curious and worst of all feeling dejected. If only he would go back in time.
