I left the laboratory with the test results in my hands, and a smile on my face. After three years of marriage, we will be having a baby. I wasn't expecting it, but now that I know that I am pregnant, I am very happy, and I can't wait to break the news to Jacob.
Finally, my shift came to an end, and it was time for me to head home. Yes, I am a doctor, at Memorial Hospital, the most prestigious hospital in the city. I met Jacob here four years ago, when I was twenty-six years old, and he was twenty-four years old. I was a resident at the time. My now husband had come to the emergency room with injuries on his face. I never asked what caused his injuries, because it wasn’t necessary, and it wasn't part of my job.
Jacob is a tall man, with dark hair and blue eyes. He was really attractive and charming. Most women would fall at his feet, but not me. I just treated his wounds and said goodbye to him.
From that moment, Jacob dedicated his time to wooing me. He did everything to get my attention, but I ignored him, at first. You might wonder why, since he is one of the most influential men in the country, and his family is very wealthy; but I didn't want that for myself. I was comfortable with my life, and I felt that going out with someone like him would draw too much attention to me. However, he got the opportunity. After he spent an entire afternoon waiting outside my office, I finally accepted to go on a date with him.
That night he was a true gentleman; charming and attentive. From that moment, I opened my heart, and eventually fell in love with him. A year later we got married at a big wedding ceremony. My parents never approved of the marriage, but I went ahead with my decision. My in-laws were also not in agreement, because they thought I was a gold digger. The issue made me uncomfortable, because what interested me the least about Jacob was his money. They asked me to sign an agreement, which I willingly did. When I saw the shock on their faces, I was delighted and smiled in satisfaction.
After the wedding, I sold my apartment and my car, leaving my former life behind, including my friends, and moved into the large Anderson Mansion. These three years of marriage have been good, although reality hit us when my shifts at the hospital and his work interfered with our spending time together. I have worked hard to make our relationship work; attending society meetings and going on some trips. Jacob has asked me several times to leave my job as a doctor, but I refused, and he stopped insisting eventually. He did not seem happy, so I decided to listen to him when he asked me not to interact with anyone at the hospital.
In a short while, I arrived at Jacob's massive house, even though I am his wife, I had never considered it mine. I got out of my car, which was a gift from Jacob on our first anniversary, entered the house and went up to the main room. I smiled, looking at the result again. I decided that I would ask Jacob to accompany me to my first check-up and everything that had to do with our unborn child. I smiled again as I gently opened the door to our room, but the smile instantly vanished when I saw the images and activity unfolding before my eyes; a woman with long blonde hair which covered her stylized back was on top of my husband. Immediately, the paper fell from my hand.
