Chapter 5 Photoshoot Day

• “Ouch!!” I screamed trying to hold the couch to steady my balance, while Sonia and Mrs, Sarah stayed beside me looking worried and asking if I’m okay. In a flash, the pain was gone and it felt like nothing happened. Sonia suggested we go see the doctor but I waved it off telling her I was okay and that it was one of those cramps that come with pregnancy, unknowingly.
• The driver arrived in a Bugatti La Voiture Noire car, the car was gifted to me by my husband on our wedding day, and was very expensive. We got into the car and drove to the new studio with Sonia giving the direction on how to locate the studio, We arrived at a semi-detached purple duplex with the name Foxy Flash studio, the environment is calm and peaceful and the building has a breathtaking view more like something made out of wonderland. We got out of the car and walked to the foyer, where we met their receptionist “she introduced herself as Miss Dimples and asked if we came to inquire or already booked an appointment”. I told her both since I have already decided to do the photoshoot today,” Miss Dimples brought out a document and asked that I sign and make payment before they will start arranging the decoration and the baby prop for the picture.
• After the payment and arrangement, we were ushered into a large room, the floor was made of colored tiles arranged in jagged patterns, and the walls were made of glass revealing additional views of the city and the mountains to the east. A frosted glass partition separated the room from the lobby. Silk banners hung from the ceiling. Polished stone pedestals held golden and silver sculptures portraying pregnant women, breastfeeding mums, and their infants. Everything in the room was rich and lavish, I was awed by the luxurious deco. I dressed up in a bandeau top and a flowing maxi skirt for the first session. I changed into a pink puffy tulle robe for the second session and a La Perla lingerie with a touch of red and black color for the last session. The pictures came out perfect.
• After the photo shoot, we left the studio for the shopping mall to get some baby toiletries and some hospital essentials, in the mall we bumped into one of my schoolmates Megan, who's known for her whoring and expensive lifestyle, her target is always the billionaires she gets close to them, then she ends up having a transactional one night stand with them. Though she is beautiful with her chubby body, busty boobs, and well-shaped bum. She never liked me in other words she sees me as a threat and doesn't hide it.
• “Hey” she gave us a cold smile more like she is trying to smile but there is a sneer behind the smile. The lips turn up but the eyes aren’t smiling” We returned the gesture
• “ she turned and looked at me with disdain and said did you end up a single mum or with a poverty-stricken low life as a husband she let out a wicked laugh, but my diamond wedding ring cut her attention and she now turned to look at me this time around, her looks were more of doubt and she said is that a diamond ring on your finger or a replica”, I smiled and elegantly stretched my fingers and said it's real Megan, she scoffed and looked at my Prada Cleo Crystal embellished purse and said this must have cost a fortune,” she asked in a bitter voice which of the affluent family are you hooking up with because I'm sure your looks won't attract a wealthy man to you”
• “ Sonia couldn't stand her insolent attitude and told her to get lost, that I am not a whore like her, rather I am legally married to Damian Graham, the handsome and young top richest billionaire. She also told Megan to be careful because bullying Myra will only get her behind bars”.
• “Megan couldn't believe what she heard about the famous Damian Graham married to Myra, a shy and naive girl not just that she is also heavily pregnant with his child, but she looked furious and unable to control her anger. She walked out on us without a word”.
• Immediately after she left, “Sonia came and hugged me telling me not to take Megan’s bitter words to heart that she is just jealous of my position and I should not forget that she never liked me” I thanked her for standing up for me, she is more of a sister that I never had. After shopping, we left the mall for the beauty parlor to get our hair and nails fixed. Getting there was a little queue, and we had to sit out and wait for our turn. I started feeling pains below my stomach and backache, this time the pain was intense and I started sweating despite the air conditioner being on
• Sonia sat beside me and kept on rubbing my back and encouraging me. At some point, the pain came at irregular intervals but I was determined to finish from the beauty parlor before calling the doctor. It was our turn and I told the hair beautician to switch my hair color from a black brunette to copper brown and style it into a messy bun. I wanted something bold for a change, did my pedicure and manicure, and also had my nails varnished with scarlet gel polish. Sonia got her hair styled in wavy blonde and also did her facials, I settled the bills and also tipped the stylist for doing an amazing job. Immediately I stood up the pain became unbearable and I didn't know when I gripped Sonia’s hand tightly and I felt the amniotic fluid rupturing and the water splashing on my body and the floor, and I screamed “ the baby is coming” while crying and trying to inhale and exhale.
• Everybody in the beauty parlor panicked and looked for a way to help out, Sonia hurriedly went to call the driver and I was assisted into the car. The pain was vast as if my body is being crushed into a million pieces and I couldn't help but groan and wail, the ride to the hospital seem endless, and instantly I felt this urge to “PUSH” Sonia kept begging me not to push that we are almost at the hospital and I tried to resist the urge to do so, the more I try the more painful. Immediately we arrived at the hospital and I was wheeled into the “LDR” (Labour delivery and recovery room).
