Chapter 3 - The pregnancy

Diana was startled by Alexander's inquiry. No, I'm not pregnant she said. What made you ask? Alexander downplayed his concerns, mentioning he had observed some unusual signs. 

 Diana clarified, i just had my period two days ago, so pregnancy isn't possible. 

 Alexander persisted, I have noticed some differences in your behaviour that you were sweating earlier. You also have put on some weight? He added. I'm not sure why, but somehow the thought of "pregnancy" feels...disappointing to me recently. 

 Diana offered a reassuring smile. It's the weather playing havoc with my health, that's all. I'm definitely not pregnant.

 Alexander hesitated before asking, Maybe we should delay dinner till you are comfortable?. 

 Diana's responded immediately, No need, let's go ahead and dine, I'm okay. 

 *****

 Aurora was feeling unease. She needed an official result to be sure she's actually pregnant. She went to the shower, had a quick bath and dressed up. On her way out of the balcony Mrs Evelyn said to her. 

 Ma'am, what did you want to have for lunch? Let me prepare it before you get back. 

 Aurora smile and said don't worry, I'm not coming back. Just rest and don't bother making anything for me. 

 She approached the gate and was about to step out, her personal driver Jacob stop her. 

 Ma'am the car is available and I can drive you to your destination he said to her. 

 Aurora smiled again and said, don't worry I ordered a bolt already. I want you to take today off, I don't want you to stress yourself in driving me anywhere. 

 Jacob made her to understand his boss will get him fired for allowing her go out all by herself. 

 That's if you told him she replied him, your boss won't find out unless you told him because he won't be returning to the house today. 

 Don't worry we will both be fine. She reassured him and stepped out. 

 She knew Jacob was a secret spy and would definitely tell his boss she went to the hospital if she let him drive her. 

 *****

 Aurora got to the hospital and after was feeling tensed after her test and she was waiting for the result. 

 Few moments later , Doctor maxwell walked up to her with the test result in his hands. Congratulations Mrs Alex, he said as he handed her the test result. You are seven weeks pregnant. 

 Aurora shedded tears of joy as she collect her result. She rubbed her hands on her tummy. Thank you so much doctor maxwell. I really appreciate. She made her way out of the hospital thought within herself. I knew my gut feeling never failed me. 

 She removed her phone from her small silver colour purse and dialed her best friend number caramel. 

 Caramel had been her best friend since childhood. 

 caramel picked up the call and was happy to hear Aurora's voice. what's up girl?. 

 I'm good, I'm coming over to your place she said. 

 Please come, caramel said happily, you are always welcome. 

 *****

 Aurora got to caramel apartment and immediately she opened the door for her. They hugged each other passionately and caramel noticed Aurora's face looked paled. Then she asked are you okay? What's wrong with you. 

 Its Alexander. Aurora said sadly, He wants a divorce. 

 Caramel was surprised and quickly sat near Aurora, why did he wants a divorce? Did you both fought?. 

 We didn't fought , she answered. He told me on our wedding day that I should have it in mind that this marriage won't last, as he was only forced to marry me. But now that his father is dead and he is now the CEO , he can do as he pleases. I was expecting a divorce but I didn't expect it this soon. It's only two years of our marriage. 

 And he wants a divorce, deeply I'm still in love with Alexander, I don't want to sign those divorce papers. And he really want to get married to the woman he truly loves. She added as tears flowed down her eyes freely. 

 I'm sorry about that, please stop crying. Caramel comforted her. 

 The last time I saw Diana his lover ,was at a shopping mall and she..... Aurora phone begins to ring and she cuts her conversation. She carried her phone and checked the screen it was an unsaved number. 

 She was contemplating whether to pick the call or not when caramel gave her a signal to pick the ca ll. 

 Aurora took a deep breath and picked the call. 

 Hi Aurora, the caller said. This is Diana
