She looked at me as if I had grown two heads. I looked right into her eyes and she looked at me with sarcasm filled in her eyes.

"No!! I've just grown fat!!", she said rolling her eyes at me.

"No Brownie, You. Are. Pregnant.!!!", I stressed on each word separately as if explaining it to a child.

"It's Jennifer for you!", she said with a blank face.

My eyes which were focused on her baby bump were now staring down her hazel eyes. It was like someone had stabbed me. There was hurt, betrayal and venom in her tone when she said those words.

I wanted to break down right in front of her, to tell her how much she hurt me with those words, just like it did when she eloped but nothing came out of my mouth. Instead, I stumbled backwards when the reality dawned upon me.

SHE WAS PREGANANT WITH ANOTHER MAN!!!!

I don't know why but seeing her with another man cut me deep.

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I looked at her and then at her stomach. I stumbled backwards as I ran my hands through my hair. I looked everywhere but at her. I wanted to pull my hair in frustration but couldn't show her how angry I was at her.

Here she was getting pregnant with another man while in my head, I was still married to her.

The next thing I knew, I was running away from her, from her presence, from her betrayal as far as I could.

My eyes opened when I heard someone knocking on my door. I rubbed my eyes while my head starting banging hard. It was a massive hangover that I had from last night. I rubbed my forehead to ease the pain but it only got worse with the continuous knock on the door.

I got up and walked up to the door only to be faced by my secretary.

"Good morning, sir!", she chirped while I was still trying to open my eyes.

"Good morning, what do you need?", my voice came out hoarse.

She eyed me head to toe and then asked, "Are you okay, sir?"

I looked at her with irritation filled in my eyes.

"What. Do. You. Want?", I reiterated trying to buzz her away.

She was taken aback by the sudden rudeness but composed herself anyway

"Sorry sir. I came here to inform you that we're ready to leave. The chopper is at the standby", she said fixing her glasses on her nose.
