SHARON

I think I'm going crazy. Half the time I want to scream out my frustrations.

Time was going. My delivery date is fast approaching. Aiden had marked my delivery date on the calendar just beside our bed. Every morning, it was the first thing I saw once I opened my eyes. It worsens the situation.

The day drew closer, but I was yet to think or act fast. I needed to think before I could act, but I couldn't think of anything that would really help. I've thought of adopting a newborn. But apart from the fact that that'd be hard, it would involve quite a lot of people which will make the secret harder to keep. I couldn't take that risk. And let's not begin to deliberate on how difficult it would be to find a child that was just a few days or weeks old.

And the more the days rolled out, the more my fear that he'd find out grew. I didn't even want to think of him leaving me. But I couldn't help it

The fact that Ana bore two children for him made the situation even worse. If he finds out that I lost the pregnancy, he won't hesitate to leave me. Afterall, he already has two children. Why stay with a liar and a fraud?

I tried to tell myself that Ana is married and he possibly can't go to her.

I suddenly found myself contemplating telling Aiden the truth. I scolded myself, thinking of how easier it would have been if I had just told the truth from the onset. How I'd have the peace of mind that seemed so out of reach now.

Now, whenever Aiden opened his mouth to speak, my heart would skip a beat and fear would numb all of my senses until he let his words out.

The other day, he asked if I was fine. When I affirmed that I was. He took my shaky hands. "You've been fidgety these days. Are you sure it's not a symptom of something? Should we go to see the doctor?"

It had taken a lot for me to convince him that I was just scared of delivery because of the delivery stories I've read.
