Contract of betrayal

Elsa pov

I drummed my fingers nervously on the doctor table as I waited for my test result.

Why was he taking so much time? Was something wrong with me.

For some days now I’ve not been feeling too well and so I came to the hospital when I got the chance before my husband figures out and calls the house doctor.

Finally, Doctor Wen opened the door of his office with a folder which I was sure was mine with a smile on his face.

A smile, that means nothing is wrong with me. I told myself and felt a little bit relieved but I should have waited to hear from him first before I concluded because now, my world shattered.

“You’re pregnant Mrs Alvin.”

“What? It…it’s not possible doctor. You have to carry out another test.”

“Blood tests don’t lie Mrs Alvin. And from your reaction, am guessing you were not expecting this news?”

“Yes. I was careful, I took all the pills.” I managed to whisper as my mind kept wondering how I would tell Alvin that I had broken the contract.

“Well, in many cases pills don’t actually prevent women from getting pregnant.”

“I can’t.” I whispered as tears began to pour down from my eyes.

“Please Mrs Alvin, I’ll advice you not to abort the kids.”

“Kids?” I asked with shock written all over me. Not just one but two kids?

“Yes, you are having two children and you need all the rest and nourishment you can get because your uterus is in a bit of stress.

I took my test result and left the hospital, heading straight for the house.

I know Alvin will look for my at work but i was sure he would buy the excuse I told Mara to tell him.

I’ve always loved Alvin right from high school and when he finally declared that he wanted to get married to me, I didn’t hesitate to accept his proposal.

But that our marriage was baseless. I was the one doing all the loving. Even though we got intimate, Alvin made it clear in the contract that he didn’t want kids.

“Kids are distraction.” He would alsways say and so he placed me on pills.

Everyone in town thought we were a perfect couple but no one knew what happened between closed doors.

I arrived home too a shower and made a quick lunch for myself.

As I sat on the sofa, my hands slipped to my stomach to rub what now carry two healthy lives.

I needed to tell Alvin about his children but then his reaction and what would become of our marriage sent shivers down my spine.

I waited for him to come home but as always, he didn’t come home at the exact time he closed from work. I decide to wait a bit long but then I received a notification on my phone.

It was from Alvin my husband. And like always, he was tight on work
