Chapter 12
—ALLISON—
“G©sh! I feel so special. Tyler treats me like a princess”
“He doesn’t allow me do anything at all, he’s now an expert in cooking”
“First the first few months though, whenever he touches me, I revulse at his touch. The hurt that clouds his face after pierce through my very soul but there was nothing I could do about it. It had become an involuntary action for me.”
“With time, I stopped revulsing at his touch and learnt to see past the rough hands that gripped me to feel the gentle hands begging to be forgiven.”
I gently trailed my fingers on my big stomach.
I am due to give birth next week.
“Tyler has shown he’ll be a good father” I said to my baby girl
She kicked in response.
The day Tyler went for a scan to check the gender of our baby, he was so happy it was a baby girl.
I’ve never seen a man being so happy he’s having a female child.
He even made me eat ice cream to celebrate the baby.
We always have a date every Fridays.
We start the Fridays by going to an elite restaurant where it’ll just be both of us in the room for privacy.
Then we go to a private beach where we spend the night in looking at the moon and stars. Most times, I catch him staring at me instead.
At times we start the Friday with a long drive with no destination, just enjoying the blowing wind and the feelings of being free from the world and we’d spend the night in a five star hotel. We’d sleep in the same room but different beds.
I haven’t heard anything about his sex escapades in a while.
Guess he stopped or maybe because he’s busy with me, he hasn’t got the time.
Now he works from home, he dedicated spending a year with me at home. He only goes to the company once in a while. He left things in care of Jerry, his personal assistant, and he’s doing a very good job.
I think I made a good decision of giving him a second chance.
The nod I gave in response means a lot to him.
A nurse told me while I was in the hospital that he cries every time I’m asleep.
She said she’s has never seen a guy cry that way especially a reputable.
“Since I’m in a VIP ward, he would want to fake tears for something like this to happen” I replied
” Something like what? ” She had asked “me telling you he cries? I don’t think he fakes it because when he hears footsteps, he cleans his eyes instantly”
I huffed and turned away from her.
” Mr Tyler loves you and a lot a women are dying to be in your shoes”
“Are you one?” I asked
” No” she laughed “I’m happily married” she replied “just telling you though” she added and left me thinking
” Is what she said true?”
Then I saw the signs myself, his eyes was always red and puffy whenever I catch him staring at me through the upper part of the door which had glass.
He was lean and his clothes didn’t seem to fit him anymore. He didn’t look his confident self.
So when he knelt down and asked for a second chance, I decided to give it to him.
Though it was a very hard decision, I spent days thinking if what I did was right or if I should have just disagreed and gone with the divorce after childbirth.
But ever since, I haven’t regretted the decision.
I got to see a sweet charming side of him, the gentle and listening side, the caring and generous side.
He continued reaching out for me to helpless people and orphanage homes.
He acts like my prince charming.
I haven’t gotten time to meet my best friend, the dog, I do hear her whine.
Tyler told me she stopped eating regularly because of me.
When he told her I was fine now, she started eating every day but not regularly.
At times when she sees her food, she turns her back to it and sits down.
She still barks angrily at Tyler though, she didn’t stop the habit.
A month after the whore ran out of our house, I heard in the news that she killed herself because of the insults she was received from people both home and abroad.
The media somehow got wind of some of the things that happened and said that she tried destroying my marriage and even gave herself cheaply to a married man.
I think the insults got so much and vile that she had to kill herself.
I kinda feel sorry for her.
Every week, Tyler and I got to the market to buy food stuffs.
That was the only thing he agreed me doing. He wouldn’t let me do anything.
Even to go to the bathroom, he makes me use a wheelchair.
I’m supposed to be exercising!!!
During one of our trips to the market, the media caught sight of us.
The following day, the headlines said “See Tyler and Allison shopping like any other normal couple in a market”
Tyler had laughed when he was the story especially at a picture where he had shown me a raw meat, asking me to eat since it was once my favourite.
I had hid my face in hair to keep him from seeing my smiling face.
Every night also before sleeping, he ksses me goodnight on my forehead and ksses my stomach.
Then every morning, he ksses my cheeks and bring breakfast for me.
I eat breakfast in bed.
Every woman’s dream when she’s pregnant.
We argue over names for the baby.
I want to name her Emma while he wants to name her Mulan after a Disney movie.
Why would my baby be named after a disney movie!!?
But he wouldn’t hear any of it so I don’t bring up suggesting names for the child.
Let me give birth first.
I haven’t seen my baby’s face well except in the scan and I love her so much already.
I drop the book I was trying to read and laid down to sleep.
—TYLER—
These pasts months have been hectic and at the same time exciting.
As an expectant father, I’m so excited to see my baby.
I already decorated my baby’s room, the colour of the room is pink.
It has different toys, she has her dressing mirror, her closet is filled with clothes.
I go to the boutique almost everytime to buy clothes as I am in one now.
I have five shopping bags filled already.
Allison is always fighting over the name I chose for the baby.
I don’t know why she’s so against the name.
I mean what’s wrong with Mulan.
Mulan is a courageous girl and I want my baby to be like her too.
Why can’t she see Mulan is a suitable name.
I finished my shopping and got in my car to drive home.
I had relieved my driver from his work since the incident.
I want to do the driving myself and every other thing
I had taken cooking lesson so that I can give Allison and my girl the best.
She’s due to give birth next week more of a reason I don’t allow her to come down from lunch and dinner anymore.
She needs to save all of her strength.
After the childbirth, I have a surprise for her.
I can’t imagine the expression that can would be on her face when she sees it.
I got home and came down from the car with the shopping bags.
I dropped them in Mulan’s room before going to Allison’s.
I found her sleeping.
She stirred and woke up, maybe she felt my presence.
I kssed her cheeks”I’m home”
She narrowed her eyes at me, “who are you?”
I was taken aback by the question “what do you mean?”
She sat up, suddenly alert and covered her stomach protectively “who are you?”
