His Bedwarmer’s Wife

“Hey don’t cry, the baby will be fine. Wait, are you really pregnant? I mean, how did that happen?” I stopped crying because of what he said.

“Maybe you’ll just be delayed and we’ll assume that you’re pregnant. Well, that’s ok, when we get married we can make our own baby.” I beat him in his shoulder.

But am I really pregnant? Maybe I just don’t like the food or maybe I’m just really delayed.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

‘Don’t be surprised Ley and you know yourself better than them.’

Because I trust Eugene and because I have no choice I told him what really happened.

Everything from the beginning.

“He said loves he love you? Fuck him, if he truly loves you why did he do that to you. When I met him, I will kill him.” I told him that the father of my baby whispered to me that he loved me.

“Ley, from now on you have nothing else to think about everything. Just think that I am the father of your child. It’s just me, ok?”

“But,”

“No buts, you said you didn’t see his face. Then, just think that I confess to you that I am the one who abused you, wait,” he said then stood up. “Let’s make it formal to be convincing and after that, you will forget what happened.”

I was surprised when Eugene stood up. He adjusted himself and took a deep breath go back to bed and look at me seriously.

“Ley, I’m sorry for what I did to you because I couldn’t stand what I felt and I think that’s the only way to get you. I was just carried away by how I felt about you, please, accept me into your life so that I can fulfill my obligation to our baby.”

I frowned as I shook because Eugene’s acting was so convincing.

“Slap me,” he said.

“What?” I asked.

“The heck, Ley. For the confession to be more effective, slap me quickly.” He took my hand and put it on his face. “Hurry up.”

Because of my shock at what he said, I slapped him hard.

Sorry I couldn’t control my emotions.

“I’m sorry,” I said then touched his face but he just smiled at me.

“We’re even. My reward for your slap is to allow me to be the father of our baby. I’m his father now and we’re getting married next month.”

“Immediately?” I ask.

“Why don’t you like it? Ley, I’ll promise that I can be a good father.” My tears flowed again as if

I am a baby pouting in front of him.

“Oh! You’re starting to be jealous of our baby. Ok, I can be a good husband too.”

“Thank you, Eu, thank you even though, you don’t need to do this, you will sacrifice your freedom just for me and baby.” He hugged me then caressed my back.

“No Ley, thank you. Thank you because you agreed, at least I can say now that my life has value. Don’t cry, baby will cry also.”

Should I be thankful for the arrival of my baby?

But what if his father introduces himself?

What if he will say he is the father and he will everything that happened.

Oh, God! I hope he doesn’t come back or else I will kill him. I will not put my baby to shame. I will sacrifice my life just for my baby. I don’t want my child to be the target of a bully so I hope he will not come back.

I hope he will die or he dies.

Eugene is here, ready to stand. I may be selfish but he is ready to be my baby’s father. He offered himself, so I guess there’s no wrong with it.

EUGENE VISITED me often. He always had something with me. We also go out together to buy things for the house because we are about to get married and I will be moving with him.

People got jealous when they saw us. We’re an example of a perfect couple. What they don’t know is we’re just friends. That’s all we are right now. Aside from joking and teasing, he only touches me when he supported me. Other than that no romantic feelings are involved.

Eu took care of everything. He said I can’t get tired because the baby will get tired too. I insisted that only civil weddings are held but Eu didn’t want to. He said that he gets married once so he wants it to be elegant.

For sure, it will be headlines in Bulacan since Eugene’s daddy is the mayor.

‘Eugene Taylor eldest son of Mayor Arcangel Taylor will marry Hailey Amaranth eldest daughter of the number one business tycoon in Bulacan, Zacharias Amaranth. It will be recalled that Hailey was previously married to Hunter Lewis who was also the son of a businessman. The two have been annulled and Mr. Lewis is currently married to Kyla Collins, best friend of Hailey Amaranth.’

Damn it! For sure that’s the news will be especially when Eugene’s family is in politics.

But who cares, where happy, there happy, everyone is happy.

I AM CAREESING my four-month-old belly. It’s not that big yet so I can wear whatever I want. Everyone is perfect, especially the wedding motifs. I can say that Eugene is good at picking things up and he really puts a lot of effort into it.

Excitement, that’s how I feel while walking the aisle. Eugene is so handsome while waiting for me. I hope that this day will be the start of true happiness, for me, for Eugene, and our baby.

Hopefully, I will learn to love Eugene as much as I love Hunter. I hope he also learns to love me not as much as Kyla but at least a little. I know I don’t love Eugene. But I can probably learn that, can I?

Who knows he will feel the same sooner and he will also fall for me. I admit Hunter is still here in my heart and I don’t know when he will be replaced. But for my own good, I chose to stay away from him.

His name, his presence, reminds me and hunting me every day. Always reminding me of my painful past with him and of what I went through because of him. Fortunately, there is a

Eugene that despite everything, and what happened to me has lifted me up.

A name that will always remind me that there are people who are ready and willing to sacrifice for me even if their own freedom is lost.

Stupid if stupid.

But as of now, I can say that no one can replace Hunter in my heart. But sad to say we are not meant to be.

Thank you to my baby because somehow my life will shine again. Because of him here I am, starting a new life with the man that even a little love is nothing but willing to give me his last name.

Someone who is willing to bind, tolerate and take responsibility for my child.

“And you may now kiss your bride.”

Eugene lifted the veil. Slowly he brought his face closer to mine. No butterflies, no slow motion, no sparks. I didn’t even feel anything when our lips touched. All I have right now is true happiness not for me but for my baby.

Everyone clapped and we both smiled when Eugene whispered to me.

“Still tasteless, wife.” Then we laughed in front of everyone. I know, they think we laughed because we were so happy because of the wedding. I turned to Kyla with one eyebrow raised.

So did Hunter with sadness in his eyes.

Hunter, I still love you and I know that even Eugene can’t replace you. But our story is over. You have your wife beside you and now my life has another chapter and you are no longer in it.

Because Eugene will be the one with me now with our baby.

I wished you happiness the same as the happiness I have now.
