Chapter 1 Finally Pregnant

• ZOEY'S POV.
• "Ouch !",
• A surge of pain rippled from my abdomen as I waited for the doctor to return with my test results. I have been getting these pains a lot recently and they were freaking me out. Dr Tracy told me that it was all in my head, that l was simply putting too much pressure on myself to get pregnant.
• She wasn't wrong , getting pregnant was all l wanted. I gripped the edge of the bed again, whimpering to myself as I let the pain roll through on it's own. My stomach walls currently felt like they were closing in on me. I didn't want the thought of receiving another negative test. Jack and I have been trying for several months , trying our level best to see that l get pregnant but l failed.
• This issue was now driving a wedge between us. To make matters worse he was a sergeant major , feared by most of the people. The one who loved me at first was now colder , distant and rude. I knew how much he wanted a son and it hurt to know that I was failing so miserably to make him happy.
• Soon the door swung and Doctor Tracy entered in with a wide smile on her face. Without a word said, she rubbed sanitizer on her hands and sat down in the chair. My heart instantly began to pound against my ribcage at unnatural speed as I waited for her to speak. " Just breathe Zoey",she smiled inhaling slowly with me and then reached for my hands.
• My hands were trembling but I tried to calm myself down. Surprisingly doctor Tracy's smile deepened as if she was enjoying seeing me like this.
• "Congratulations Zoey", She said while placing her hands on my tummy. " You carrying a baby in here",She went on. My heart instantly skipped a beat as I processed the news. "Are you sure... H..how far along?",l whisper stuttered finding it hard to stop myself from crying. " Well let's find it out , shall we?", She smiled then pulled the ultrasound machine out. She then squirted cold gel on my belly.
• Butterflies danced in my stomach as l stared at the screen. I was unable to read the images but inwardly hoped some where in that black and white mess my little baby would show up. "Well I would say from the looks of it about four weeks", she said then handed me some documents.
• "You really need to stop worrying, rest more", She spoke as she wiped the gel off my stomach. " Yeah thanks for that", I smiled with the tears brimming in my eyes. I just couldn't believe it. After getting some medicine, l walked away from the hospital. I rubbed my belly the entire ride home. I was on cloud nine from the news. I couldn't wait to tell Jack about it. I knew it that he was going to be happy. This is all he wanted.
• As l pulled into the gate ,the pain returned. I was used to this and carefully l sat in the car and clenched my teeth to let it pass. I didn't want to scream but I was totally dying in pain. After that I slowly dragged myself out of the car and made my way through the front door of the house.
• The house was eeirly quiet and empty. The maids were nowhere to be seen and the soldiers which was strange. Minding less about it , l continued to walk up the stairs to the second floor looking forward to lying down and resting. I didn't want to argue with anyone today and didn't want to call any of the maids.
• My every step was more difficult. The pain intersified and I currently felt like a thousand tiny needles were piercing through my stomach. From where I stood at the top of the stairs, l could see the door to my room slightly cracked up but the pain was increasing. "You can do it Zoey", l inwardly mumbled to myself while rubbing my belly.
• As l inched closer , an unmistakable scene unfolded before me . My blood instantly boiled at the sight. As unbelievable as it was , my best friend Amanda riding my husband's shaft. A look of sheer delight was on the contorted features of her face . " Ah!Ah!Ah! Jack ", she moaned eagerly bouncing up and down his shaft.
• He said nothing just palming her bare breasts in his hands as he moved her up and down on his shaft. " F**k", She whimpered bouncing frantically. " Please, am gonna give you the son you want , fuck me harder",Tears burned my eyes as I watched him flip her over , forcing her up on her knees that her ass was on full display for him. "Yes that's all I want", He lastly replied to her.
• "What did l do to deserve this for heaven's sake?",Standing up like a statue, l asked myself inwardly. They were seriously enjoying their moment and already froze up, l couldn't distract them. "I really need to go ... ", My mouth tingling l turned on my heels ready to leave but I was honestly powerless. The pain in the stomach was also increasing, l couldn't digest that.
• I caught on the wall finding it hard to walk away. "Ouch!", I bit my tongue when l felt the pain surge in my stomach. This was much l couldn't take it anymore. "Miss Zoey....", The maid's voice interrupted my train of thoughts.
• " Am fine ", l smiled while collecting myself together. "So she has enjoyed the show", l instantly froze up in my outfits when l heard that voice. It was my Jack and he was proudly standing behind me. At his words , l turned and looked at the maid who had her face covered in guilty. That was when it hit me. It was all a lie. They knew. They knew it that he was cheating on me but they kept it from me. They were mocking me for being clueless. I was so stupid to believe that they cared about me.
• "What did the doctor say again, Zoey?", Before l could say anything , my best friend made her way to us while dressed up in Jack's white shirt. I felt like crying at the sight. " Any luck with the baby?", She laughed. "Jack l knew it darling, she is not only ugly but...",. "Who are you calling ugly? , you happy that you have betrayed me but one day someone else will do it to you", Finding it unbearable to control my anger , the words furiously escaped out of my mouth.
• *SLAP*
• "Watch your tone with me you bitch and do you think that am infertile like you",she sneered after her palm landing harshly on my cheek.
• *SLAP*
• "Keep your hands to yourself you useless whore", l slapped her harder . "Don't ever call me a whore, you have failed to give him a son he wants", She hissed out and this time before l could respond, she pushed me. "That's where you belong", She laughed. " My ba.....", Before l could finish , l was already on the ground. To make matters worse the blood came from my legs as everyone watched.
• " Jack the baby... ", I screamed as l watched the blood run down my legs . " Am not going to stay with a woman who is infertile , take her to the wolf market",That was all l heard before my vision turned black.
