Chapter 23: Chapter 23
(Vivienne)
I never imagined being pregnant would be so tiring. I was sleeping in my head but in reality, I was fully awake.
"Ugh" I groaned in frustration as I moved around the bed groaning lazily. I was agitated as well as anxious. I was bored to death and I couldn't stop touching my belly for a second.
It was too good to be true, it has been like two weeks since the IVF happened. I thought I would feel the little thing right away but so far, it was nothing, like I couldn't feel anything
"How come it's not moving...aren't I supposed to be throwing up and acting all preggy"I mumbled as I sat up and raised my shirt so I could see my belly. It was flat and looked nothing like I was pregnant. How on earth, Justin said it was successful so why wasn't my belly big like a water balloon yet
"I should get something to eat, "I said, crawling out of bed. I was so bored with nothing to do, I swear two weeks indoors with nothing to do nearly drove me crazy. All I did was sleep, look at my phone. I didn't even cook my food or make my bed talk of being bathed. The worst part of this was that I had some servants who interrupted my sleep to bathe me.
The first time it happened I panicked and screamed for help but Beverly said it was normal. That I had to get used to being waited on. It was uncomfortable having a couple of ladies washing my naked body and for two weeks, it was the same thing and I was tired of it
"Hey...Julia"I called out to Julia who was rushing to the other passageway with a laundry basket. She stopped immediately when she heard me and smiled as she rushed to where I was.
"Yes Miss...anything the matter...are you hungry...do you feel uncomfortable" to my not-so-shocking `` Julia dropped whatever she was holding and grabbed my hand and felt my neck with the back of her hand. I was stunned, frozen, not sure what to do but Julia seemed anxious as she checked my temperature. Inspected my body and her expression was a nervous one.
"I'm...fine. Julia...really"I finally said moving away from her and she stopped and looked at me as if I were lying. For goodness' sake, I wasn't sick. These people were all treating me like a special case
"No no...miss if you don't feel okay...I'll call sir right away," Julia said and turned to go away but I grabbed her hand and stopped her from calling the grumpy man. I failed to understand why these people wouldn't let me leave in peace and sought to call that grumpy man who only cared about the baby's safety
"I'm fine...I wanted to ask...where is that little puppy" I asked while looking around for the little one. The little puppy was the closest thing I had in the entire mansion. But I was not allowed to play with him. Monica instructed me not to even lay a finger on it. I wanted to know why Victor was so attached to the little thing. It was rare to see a cold man like him have a soft spot for a pet. He didn't look like he was the type of man who would keep a pet and let alone love it
"Umm...in sir's room...it plays there in the afternoon"Julia replied and I saw she was now calm but her look was a suspicious one
"Can I see him...please...I'll leave right away" I said pleading with her, at least Julia was kind. She had a good heart and a lovely smile. She attended to me most times
"Miss...I...I dunno...madam Monica just came back and if…" before she could even finish, I grabbed her hands and pleaded with my eyes, I wasn't going to take it but just look at it. I knew the room was Victor's room and no one was allowed to go there but it was close to mine hence I just wanted to take a look then leave unnoticed
"Okay fine…"I didn't even wait for her to finish when I jumped up in the excitement and made my way back to where I came from. It was strange how my room was exactly where Victor's was but putting that aside I smiled as I walked a little faster passing my room then finally I was standing by the door
I knew if he found me in his room then the chances of killing me were there but at the same time, he wouldn't do that.
Yes, he would get angry but I just wanted to take a look. And when I turned the gold-made knob, I slightly pushed the door open and closed one eye as I peek in to see if Tiny, as they called the puppy, was there but he was nowhere to be seen hence I opened the door fully and I was stunned. My jaw dropped
I thought I would find some luxurious room with so many expensive things, but to my surprise, the room was just normal. I walked in and closed the door. My eyes shifted around and I smiled. It smelled lovely, like the man himself and I guessed it was so because the room was his
"Tiny...where are you, buddy?"I called out to the little one in a soft low voice and lowered to check if he was hiding anyway. I searched the bed but he was nowhere to be seen. I looked around the bed, the dressing mirror and I searched the balcony but still, I didn't find it.
"Maybe he isn't here" I muttered with a frown resting my hands on my hips. I'm sure if Julia was right about the little puppy being anywhere in victor's room "I should just go"I decided to leave before Victoria showed up.
I noticed he came back from the office earlier, mostly before 5 PM and Beverly had told me that was because he needed to make sure I didn't do anything to hurt the baby in my womb if ever I was pregnant.
Just as I turned to leave I heard noises hence I turned back scanning with my narrowed eyes to see where the puppy sound was coming from and to my surprise the sound was coming from the brown closed door. I thought it was a bathroom maybe but when I opened it. I found out that it was a walk-in wardrobe
