I leave Annie’s room. I know there are many people who want to see her, and I can’t stay inside all the time. So, I decide to take a walk around the nursery area to see the beautiful little angel who has just been born.
“Good afternoon, miss. The baby of Annette Johnson?” The young woman gives me a smile and asks who I
- am. I can’t say I’m the father, so I make up a title.
I
I’m her uncle.” The young woman asks for identification, but I don’t have anything on hand. I’m still wearing the clothes they lent me to enter the operating room. “I don’t have my wallet, but look, I was in the delivery room with the mother.” The girl hesitates but finally allows me to approach. The little one is sleeping sweetly. I put my hands in the gloves and caress him. I think Angel knows who I am because he wakes up and starts to get restless. I try to soothe him, singing the lullaby he loved so much when he was in Annie’s womb. He begins to relax, and I smile at his cute expressions.
“So, you are a friend of my daughter.” Someone stands next to me, and I turn to see who it is.
“Mr. Johnson. That’s right. I’m a friend of Annie, and I came after her.” The man raises his head skeptically
“And what do you want with her? She now has a child and must be very careful about whom she chooses. The first time she didn’t choose well, and although I don’t regret that my daughter had this baby, I won’t allow her to make another mistake.”
I fully understand Mr. Johnson’s doubts. Now I just have to prove that I’m serious about her.
“I just ask that you give me a chance to show how serious my intentions are with your daughter. She deserves the best in the world, and I would like to be the one to offer it to her.”
The man smiles at my words. I can’t say I’ve won him over, but at least I don’t feel his rejection anymore. He starts telling me things about Annie. It’s nice to hear how well he speaks of her. No one has a single complaint about my beautiful doll’s way of being. In my eyes, she is perfect.
As we continue chatting, the man turns his head and looks at a certain place for a moment. Through the reflection of the incubator glass, I see it’s a young man. There’s no interaction between them, so it’s not clear if they know each other.
Mr. Johnson receives a call from his wife, who tells him their daughter wants to see him. We say goodbye to the baby and walk together to Annie’s room. I don’t turn around, but out of the corner of my eye, I see the man who was watching us is still there, observing us.
I walk with Annie’s father, and he asks me questions about my family. Maybe he thinks I’m a poor devittrying to woo the Johnsons‘ millionaire heiress, but that’s not my case. I tell him my parents are very wealthy people from high society in Ontario. He is surprised to learn that I, their only heir, travel the world in medical brigades to places where shortages are the daily bread. I see I’ve earned some points with him.
“Sg, Aaron Jordan. As a shareholder of a prestigious hospital, I remember hearing about your father.” Our conversation focuses on my family, but soon enough, we are outside the room.
“Are you going in?” he asks, but I shake my head. I want to give him some space to be alone with his daughter and wife. His wife is still inside, so he says goodbye and goes in.

I walk down the hallway. The rest of the family is not around, so I guess they must have gone to the cafeteria.
I sit alone outside and rest my head against the wall while I close my eyes.

“Mmmm, where are you
ing? I stand up to get dressed. I’ve been staying at Albert’s house since Friday, so
I’ve been here for almost two days.
“I have to go back home. I don’t know when my husband will return.” I don’t finish saying that when he traps
me in his arms again.
Leave that loser and stay with me. I’ll shower you with gifts and take you on beautiful trips.” While he holds. me in his arms, he caresses my body, which is only covered by a light pajama.
“No, I have to go. For now, I don’t want to think about divorce.” When I say that, he lets me go.
“Alright, you win. Get dressed, and the driver will take you home.” He jumps out of bed and heads to the
shower.
He’s asked me several times to live with him. I don’t know why he’s so obsessed with me, but I can’t stay. He gives me beautiful gifts and has opened an account for me. He knows I can’t spend more than necessary, so he decided he would indulge me in that aspect. In reality, I have a better time with him than with my so–called husband, but at this moment, I don’t want to leave him. Not when that damn butterfly has returned. Liam must already know about his child, and that’s why he’s there with her.
Suddenly, I get in a bad mood. Albert comes out of the shower with only a towel wrapped around his waist. He’s an extremely attractive man and fantastic in bed, but I’m not going to tell him that.
“Come on,
I’m not going to beg, but I want you to stay.” He pouts like I usually do, and it makes me laugh. I check the time and decide to call my so–called husband.
The phone rings, but he doesn’t answer. I decide to send him a message, and I know he read it. I’m surprised-
when he replies.
-I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon. I apologize for this. We’ll talk tomorrow.”
I feel the blood boiling in my head. It’s the last straw. He’s going to spend three days with that b***h, because I’m sure it’s her, without caring that I’m here. Okay, fine, I’m not exactly being a faithful wife, but he doesn’t know that and treats me worse than garbage. The only thing that makes me happy is that that wretch won’t be able to have him because he’s my husband, and I won’t give him a divorce. If she wants the title of mistress, that’s available.
I feel arms wrapping around my body, pulling me out of my thoughts.
“Why are you so distracted?” I smile at the sound of his voice in my ear. I turn to face him..
“I was just thinking that I can stay a bit longer.” His smile widens, and before I know it, he carries me back to bed. I know he won’t let me leave for a while.
Albert came in his car with the driver to drop me off. I hope there’s no gossip that gets into my life, but if that’s the case, I hope my husband doesn’t believe he’s being cheated on and stays away from me.

“Alright, darling, I leave you safe and sound at your home. He says, and I pout sweetly. He kisses me again, and when he wants to go further, I pull away and get out of the car.
I walk smiling the short distance to my apartment when I feel someone grab my arm.
“Hello, daughter. You’re naughty Cheating on your husband and having your lover bring you here is serious,
hahaha.”
The cloudy look in my biological mother’s eyes scares me, but I won’t let fear control me.
“What do you want?” she lets out a light laugh. “I already gave you money”
The woman looks at me and lets out a chilling laugh.
“I need more. I have some interesting photos that might interest your husband. But look, you’re my daughter, and I’m supposed to help you.”
I look at her with disgust, but she doesn’t care.
“And how would you help me?” I ask, and she lets out a sinister laugh.
“Tm going to start working at your husband’s parents‘ house, so I can keep you informed about everything that happens in that family. Are you interested?”
A malicious smile appears on my face. Of course, I’m interested.
“What do you want in return, ‘mom‘?”
“We’ll see about that later. I’m leaving. I’ll be in touch with you soon.”
