Lisa's POV

"So how was the visit to the hospital?" Andre asked. He had asked that I go get checked when I began sleeping around the house.

What I didn't tell him was that I didn't go. I didn't want to put my hopes up on something, only to get disappointed again like last time. I never want to feel that way again.

" Good" I replied, plastering a smile on my face and buried myself in the cooking.

I increased the speed of the blender. Maybe if the noise was too much, he would quietly walk away from the kitchen. Andre stood in front of fridge. He didn't pick a fruit or anything. He had already drank a glass of water, so I wondered what he was still doing. When ever the blender stopped, I would start it all over again. This was what I did till Andre gave up and walked out of the kitchen.

During dinner, Andre still did not want to drop it.

"What did the doctor say baby?" he turned to me and looked me in the eye. My mouth went dry but I didn't dare swallow. Not with Andre watching me over his glass of water. Despite the bad lighting from where he sat, his eyes shone like a bright light in the dark on me. I knew I had to do something.

I immediately took some bread and stuffed it into my mouth.

"Nothing serious." I said mid chew and swallowed." She said I was fine" then I grabbed my glass of water and drank it all

"Oh" that was all Andre said. I could see that he was disappointed but then he recovered quickly. " see I told you nothing was wrong with you" he smiled. I smiled back at him and we continued eating.

It was like he wanted to say something but on a second thought he didn't.

Two months later, I was still exhibiting my symptoms but I didn't still go to the hospital. I was getting relaxed and used to the eye roll and snorting whenever I spoke in the presence of Andre's mum and sisters. I stopped crying and became stronger but I had noticed something.

There was a rift growing between I and Andre. I always wanted to be alone and said as little as possible when we were together. He too was tight lipped. I didn't know why and I didn't care to know. Day and night, it was like we were just roommates cohabiting. This continued till the next month.

So in that month, I was slated to donate some blood as I always did. I walked into the hospital and sat to wait my turn.

"Lisa Kay!" my name was called and I walked into the doctor's office.

"blood group? " the nurse asked

"O positive "

Just as she was about to get the syringe, she shook her head as she stared at me.

" what?"

"The lady before you, had fainted after I began to take her blood so I wanted to be sure"

I chuckled. " I am fit nurse"

" just to be sure " she laughed. As she checked my blood count and blood pressure, her eyes widened.

"Any problem?" I asked.

"Your blood pressure is high. Too high"

"What?" I racked my head. I ate more fruits. I exercised and this month had been my calmest. I let nothing bother me. Immediately the door was yanked open. My eyes flew to the door. It was my doctor.

"Lisa how -" she stopped mid sentence and stared into my eyes. She turned to the nurse and they exchanged a look.

" I saw that" and they chuckled. They still had not said anything as the nurse ushered me into the doctor's office. She took my blood and moved away.

"now Doctor you are making me scared" I said.

"wait here okay" she walked out of the room. And there I sat waiting. I didn't know what to think. Do I have some Terminal illness? Was something wrong. My brain went through all the horrible sceneries and I wanted to die of anxiety. My heart was a Lewis Hamilton race car. I decided that if no one came in the next 10minutes, I will bolt out of the office.

Just as I was about to stand up, the door knob turned. My doctor came in. She sat on the chair and began going through some papers.

"Okay I need you to tell me the fuck is happening or else I'll have a panic attack" I threatened. My doctor laughed.

" I'm done" she said with a smile. I watched her face to gauge her reaction but then I remembered what she had done the last time. I couldn't use her countenance to judge her. So I let out a breath and waited.

" the results for the blood work is out" I clenched my eyes shut and waited. " you are 12 weeks pregnant. It's a cryptic pregnancy at first and I think you saw your period "I nodded enthusiastically.

My eyes widened and my mouth fell open. She laughed and then I realized she was really saying the truth. I let out a squeal and immediately clasped a hand over my mouth. I was at the hospital. They need no noise.

"your blood pressure is elevated, so see the nurse out front to take your prescription" she said. I stood up and ran to her side and enveloped her in a bear hug. She laughed.

"I suspected you were pregnant when I saw you with the nurse"

"how did you know?" I asked, my lips spread in a smile that was able to reach my ears.

"its just something my mother taught me" she said. I laughed. I have heard of that. I hugged the doctor one more time and left her office. As I left the hospital I said hi to everyone I saw. My heart was so full I was afraid it would burst.

"baby!" I called out to Andre on entering the house but then I was informed by the maids he was yet to come home. I sat and took out my phone to call him, only to see the most heart wrenching video I have ever seen, staring me in the face.

Lisa's POV

I stiffened immediately on seeing the face on the video. It was blurry but I could still make out the faces. It was a female and that of Andre.

Andre Luster.

My husband. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

They were buck naked on the bed. I pinched myself in hopes that this was some sick game targeted at me but the more I stared at the video, the more real it became and the more I recognized who the male is in the coital affair.

No! this is just an attack. Who ever this is knows I am the wife of billionaire, Andre luster. This must be some AL shit.

I threw my phone on the bed and walked into the shower. The water was too cold. I got out and went to get myself some food but it was too hurt. Suddenly I was feeling too hot. I felt like some prisoner in my clothes. I walked around the house but I still was not satisfied. Finally I went for a swim. As I sat, trying to catch my breath, then the tears began to fall freely. This time I did nothing to stop it. I cried like I had never done in my life.

I cried like I had no family. When I noticed some movement behind me I dunked into the water. I was able to put my head up, and wiped my face. I walked out of the pool and went upstairs. I gave instructions that I did not want to be disturbed even if it had to do with food.

*******

I sat motionless on my bed. The phone on the bed. I stared at it. My heart thumped. As my hand made contact with the phone, it burned. I couldn't bring myself to watch the video.

********

Minutes turned to hours and Andre was not yet still home. I picked up my phone and took in a deep breath. Then I clicked on the video. And just like I assumed, it was a sex video of my husband and this model looking girl. Immediately I stopped the video and went into the bathroom to throw up.

My heart was shattered into tiny fragments.

"Guess What? I am already pregnant" the message read.

Tears began to fall from my eyes again.

I was all alone. Andre was like all I got. I kind of turned my back on my family to be with him. How could he do this to me? I tried to cry without making noise but the more I tried the more pain I felt in my chest. It was like I was going to die. After going on a crying spree, I pulled myself together and sat still. I decided I was going to confront him.

So I sat waiting for his return. The longer I stayed, the more it seemed like he was running from me.

Two hours later, Andre's car pulled up into the house. He walked out of the car before the driver could pack well. He walked majestically into the house. I fixed my blouse and sat waiting.

The swinging of the door made me know he had come upstairs and just like that he was standing in front of me

"Hello Andre" I said. Andre cocked his head to the side. I almost never called him Andre or be way too formal.

"Hi baby " he said as his weight made the bed dip. He began taking off his shoes. I narrowed my eyes at him. The nerve to call me baby whilst cheating on me. I am sure he was waiting for me to Fawn over him like I always did Lately. But I didn't . I just sat there in my Jeans and sweater stating up at him. I hoped my deadpanned look still gave nothing away.

"How was work?" I asked smiling but it felt like the smile was about to slice my face in two.

" Good. It's hectic these days" he said. It was then I knew I couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Are you cheating on me?" I hissed.

"What?" He turned to stare at me.

"You heard me perfectly well. Don't try to think up a clever answer" I sighed. " just tell me the Truth.

" where the hell Is this coming from?" he asked.

I took out my phone and began to play the video for Andre. " From here and it's pretty reliable "

Andre clenched his fists as he cussed profanities.

" I see you have gotten yourself involved in some extracurricular activities huh Andre!" I yelled his name.

"its not what you-" Andre tried to touch me but I shoved him away.

"Don't you dare touch me "I Spat? He stopped, running his hands over his hair.

"Congratulations too, you are also going to be a father" my voice dripped of bitterness. It hurt that I wasn't the only one carrying his child. I wanted to make him feel pain. Andre paced our room and finally took a pillow and left for the couch. Sadly He didn't realize I was talking about me. About my pregnancy.

*********

2 days later.

"He did what!" Becky squealed. Becky was my best friend. My Ride or die.

"Ssshhh" I looked around. " He might hear you"

" why the hell are you still in that house?" she said in Clenched teeth.

"calm down babe. He said we would talk. I believe we can get it all solved. Please promise me you won't tell my parents.

" I really want to Lisa. I mean how could you allow Andre treat you like this."

" how-" suddenly I heard a loud voice. It was female and it kept squealing. Who could it be in my house. I went downstairs and I was immediately greeted with bags upon bags.

When I looked at the face, standing in front of me I froze.

"what the fuck!"

It was the freaking side piece in my house.

Lisa's POV

"It's a baby Lisa! Have some mercy!" Andre yelled at me that night. I had confronted him immediately in our bed room.

"I don't care! I don't want to see her here!" I screamed louder. I was this close to losing it.

"I can't send her away, she has my child" he grumbled.

"What! I can't believe the nerve- I sneered- you cheated on me and brought back a receipt and you had the guts to throw it in my face? What of me? My- " I was about to tell him about my own baby when he interrupted me.

" my hands are tied" he announced.

" So you are going to sit there like a dummy and do nothing?" I turned my head to the side. The next thing I know I am being shoved.

Andre pinned me to the wall

"I have had enough of your stupid attitude. " He growled." If you had quietly gotten pregnant, this would not be the case!" he warned me

"what" I gasped. Shock reverberated through my body. I couldn't believe those words are coming from Andre. My Andre.

Andre walked out of the room.

I slowly sank to the floor and tears began to flow. And so that night, sleep came and stole me away.

The sun penetrated through the partition in the room. That was how I knew it was morning. I blinked my eyes to reality and, my brain dredged up the last thing I heard from the night before. My heart was heavy but the one that stuck like glue was Andre's last words.

"We have waited for 3 years without a child and I am not going to turn my back on the one woman who has my child"

Although he mumbled that he would find the lady a house but I doubted if he would actually do it.

********

who is there?! Please don't break down my door!" Becky screamed from inside. She opened the pigeon hole, peeped, and then proceeded to open the door.

"Jeez! Girl you.... Oh my god Lisa, what's wrong your eyes are swollen!?" I flung my arms around her and tears pulled in my eyes.

She managed to calm me down and I told her the whole story.

"what do you plan to do?" she asked.

" honestly I don't know" I said. Then I remembered my parents.

" Please Becky Don't tell them I told you this" I begged. She nodded.

"Your secret is safe with me"

I knew that if my parents were to know, they would definitely not take this lightly. Especially my father. I want to handle this as quick as I can.

"I will handle this" I say aloud to Becky's hearing. She looked at me. Worry etched on her face. Honestly I wouldn't handle anything. All I wanted to do was to lock myself in my room and cry.

*******

I was in the kitchen the next day, trying to make myself breakfast when my phone rang. The maids were not around.

My heart skipped when I saw the caller ID. I quickly washed my hands and walked out of the house.

"hello dad" I whispered.

" Lisa why won't you reply my messages"

" Dad I have been busy. You know married life and-

"I spoke to Becky" he said. I shut my eyes and cussed in my heart. That traitor. She said she would not tell anyone.

" Lisa I want you to come home" he said.

"No dad I have a life here. I have a husband-"

"Honey please come home, come to where you are loved. That's barely a life"

" We miss you!" I heard my mum's voice. Immediately I felt some nostalgia. Tears flooded my eyes.

"I miss you too" she said.

" Come home Lisa" my father said. I looked behind and the house came to view. I remembered when I was taunted and bullied. They said all I had were given to me by my father. I was hated for coming from wealth. That was why when Andre, asked me to marry him I readily agreed. I wanted to make something of my own, without the influence of my billionaire father.

" no... no dad"

" What?"

" Dad I will solve this out" I said. I immediately plastered a big smile on my face and talked cheerfully till I ended the Call. Before I went into the house, I wiped my tears and took a deep breath. I will fight this no way or the other.

********

I walked in on the most disgusting scene on my life. Andre's side piece was in the kitchen. She was blasting the sex tape she had sent to me. I know this because I had accidentally put it on. Out of curiosity I let it play

Standing in the entrance of my kitchen and listening to it, I regretted ever putting it on.

"Fuck baby.." Andre groaned.

"Do you like that?" she purred like a cat as she batted her lashes.

"Stop. Doing. That" he groaned. She knew what he was taking about. She knew that whenever she acted all innocent while she was riding him, it always gets him off. she continued doing that.

"Oh fuck! You. Are. So. Sweet" he groaned in between sentences as she began moving faster. Then he emptied himself in her. He signed deeply as he leaned on his hands to give her a deep kiss.

"I love you" Andre said in between kisses as he began nibbling her neck.

"Yea, are you sure of that" she said chucking. He bit her neck and she screamed in pain and pleasure.

"Yea I am. I love you with all my heart" he said as she could feel his mouth pull up into a smile on her neck.

" well I am lucky to have you Baby. You make my life so beautiful" she said.

" fuck babe...I'm.. I'm" she gasped.

She turned to me and smirked. I walked out of the kitchen and tears stuck to my eyes.
