Mummy I got you a new husband

SOPHIE’S POV

“Congratulations, Sophie; you are six weeks pregnant.”I overheard the doctor say as he gestured to shake my hands. His remarks startled me, and I gazed blankly for a while, wondering what to reply.

This news was not my expectation. It was more than I had imagined.

“Mrs Sophie,” he yelled for me once more, a bit louder than before and I jolted back to reality feeling absolutely no thrill. I could not possibly be pregnant. After learning of the pregnancy, my thoughts had wandered, but his call snapped me back to reality. Regaining my composure, I shook his hand and thanked him.

” Emm… Thanks.” He gave me an eerie look as I responded and stood to go, unsure about what to do next. My aunt would murder me if she found out I was pregnant. Despite her warnings about Ryan, I persisted in dating him, and now this.

I had been sick a few days and my aunt insisted I go to the hospital and see a doctor but pregnancy was not exactly how I hoped it would pan out.

“What could I possibly tell her?” I murmured to myself as I considered the ideal disguise and ultimately decided that I would tell her it was simply a fever until I could come up with a better plan.

“How could I be so careless? After my last intercourse with Ryan, I had neglected to take an after pill. I quiered myself bittered about the issue.

I got into the cab at the hospital’s entrance and wanted to go home, but I opted to check in with Ryan first. Since his help will be invaluable in telling my aunt the news, I wanted him to know what had transpired.

Enticed by some soothing music on my phone, we drove to Ryan’s house, my head spinning with ideas. Hoping to talk to Ryan when I got there, I peered out the window and tried to shake the problem.

My reverie was abruptly interrupted when the cab pulled to a stop outside his house. I paid him off, stepped down and grumbled when I saw the house, hoping he was home as I had phoned numerous times in the cab and received no response. I straightened my clothing and made my way to the entrance.

I banged for a while and got no answer, so I tried to look through the window but it was closed, afraid I could have gone all the way for nothing, I search through my purse for Ryan keys since I recalled he had handed them to me.

“Yes,” I exclaimed with excitement as soon as I saw them. I took the keys and unlocked the door. Discovering the house was abnormally quiet I believe that no one was home and made to leave.

I noticed some clothings on the ground as I turned to go and decided to follow the trail.

“These are Ryan’s clothes,” I said, relieved since I had feared someone had broken in before my arrival. As I picked up the clothings, I noticed a lingurie. Certain that it was not mine, I came to the conclusion that Ryan may have acquired them for me. I felt a glimmer of optimism, waiting for something unexpected.

I raced into the bedroom, hoping to find Ryan waiting for me with a surprise. As I got closer to the bedroom, I heard some commotion and hurried over to find out what was happening.

“Oh my gosh!” I shouted at what I had just witnessed as the door sprang open, the clothings falling from my hands as tears rolled down my cheeks. More than I anticipated, I had received the surprise of my life.

Ryan was back at his house, lying in bed with a different woman. I stood numbly crying, scarcely able to move. They turned to face me as I got a closer look. The woman was Tana, my best friend. The image of them kissing and smooshing brought me to tears.

I could not believe that after everything we would been through together, Ryan could do this with my closest buddy.

They looked at me as I remained there numbly starring at them for a while, and Tana groaned as she turned Ryan’s face to kiss her.

” I thought you were done with her?” Tana feigned to push Ryan away, a phoney scowl on her face.

“Yes. We are done; Tana, I love you.” She let out a sensual gasp as Ryan planted a kiss on her neck. His words shattered my heart, yet I was still unable to move my legs. I just gazed at them hopelessly.

“I love you, too, sweetie.” Tana murmured as the kissed passionately, numb as I was tear slid down my cheeks freely.

“Noo no no,” my stomach churned and I felt like puking as I shouted till unable to support my legs. Barely able to stand, the results tumbled out of my hands.

“Ryan, I am pregnant.” I muttered as both of them mulched, hoping that would change Ryan mind and turn to me as I was carrying his child. It was not real, but I believed him knowing would make a difference. Ryan stopped abruptly and turned to face me

“I cannot be that bastard’s father; leave my room.” He stared at me with disgust and turned to Tana as they kissed passionately. My heart crushed when Ryan spoke those words not believing he would say that to me after four years together. I screamed picked the results and raced out of the room, my legs wobbly. It felt as if my world had ended. The two people who meant the world to me were the ones who had betrayed my trust.

I dashed outside, tears welled up in my eyes as I got into a taxi. I wanted to chill off the steam. I was pregnant and the father was sleeping with my closest friend. My favourite bar sprang to mind, but I opted against it since it brought back too many memories of Ryan. Instead, I went to another pub to decompress.

I stayed in a more distant seat from everyone as soon as I entered the pub since I did not want any approaches. I ordered a round of tequila, downing around three shots right away to try to forget what had just happened.

“Hey, gorgeous,” I heard someone remark as he sat next to me; my sincere desire was to take a drink and relax, as I was not in the mood.

“Bad night.” He grinned at me as he talked; there was something about his smile that made my world pause and make me feel wonderful for a little period.

“Yeah,” I responded, sighing, my eyes welling up with feelings I could not suppress.

“Do not stress too much about it; you will be alright. Shit happens.” He soothed me as we drank till late at night. We both had a lot going on and needed some downtime.

When I heard a tap on the door, I rolled over on the bed, not wanting to wake up, but as I looked around, I saw this room was not at all like mine. I leaped out of bed when I realised I was not in my room, bewildered, because I had no idea how I had gotten there, making an effort to recall, my head hurt so much. I was hung over from drinking so much the night before.

“What happened?” I murmured to myself as my head slammed so hard, I could not think clearly. The door opened, and the housekeeper brought in the meal. She put it down and started to walk away, but she stopped when I called her.

” Where am I?” I inquired, perplexed by all that was going on. She looked back, trying not to show how disgusted she was, and answered nicely.

“You arrived with a young man last night, and he asked to make you be comfortable until you were ready to go. I will take my leave now, please call me if you need anything.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

I sighed as realization hit me. It was the stranger from last night. As soon as I noticed some money and a letter in the drawer, my thoughts flashed back to the previous night. It seemed as we had talked late into the night and he took me home when he noticed I was drunk.

” Thanks for last night. You can leave when you are ready, .”I read the message aloud, angry and resentful that he believed I was a prostitute, and got out of bed to take a warm bath. I noticed that I still had slept with my dress on.

My mind raced as I attempted to find out who I had been with the night before. I did not even who he was neither did i remember how I got to his house. I got dressed had some food and aspirin and left making sure no one saw me as I did.

I hurried to work, my head was buzzing as I fretted about how the conversation with Aunt Susan would go when I arrived at the mall.

Aunt Susan was the only surviving relative I had as I lost my parents in a ghastly motor accident. She helped raised me and provided for me in the way that she could. She owned a mall I worked as the sales manager there.

“Where are you coming from? ” I heard someone shout as I crept into my office.
