I was on a trip when my sister's wedding date was announced. I decided to surprise her by showing up but when I arrived, I realized she was getting married to my husband. I was aware that my husband needed a son to inherit his father's property, as that was the condition set by his father. We had already planned to have a child through surrogacy, so I wondered if he had been interested in my sister even before we got married I was devastated by the betrayal and my emotions overflowed in tears that seemed to have no end. In a haze of alcohol-induced numbness, I stumbled into the nearest bar, seeking refuge from the turmoil of my heart. There, I drowned my sorrows in drink after drink, only to find myself in the arms of a man I didn't even know, I had a one-night stand with him Unknown to me, he's the rival and enemy of FL's company (Ryan's father company)
Chapter One
"Can you get there within an hour?" I asked the driver as he drove me off from the airport.
This is a day that I cannot miss. I remember on my wedding day how my sister stood by me, so why should I miss her special day? I promised her that I would always be there for her.
Though, I was sure none of my family members were expecting me because when I told my parents I would be coming, they told me not to come, that I should enjoy my trip because it's a trip I have been longing to go.
Even my husband thought I would be coming back in the next two months but I had to show up surprisingly at my sister's wedding ceremony.
I bought a golden watch for my sister as a surprise wedding gift. My sister had always loved a gold watch and this one I got for her is the most expensive I have ever purchased.
I decided to keep my arrival a secret from my sister, wanting to surprise her myself. I didn't want anyone else to tell her that I was there before she saw me, so I kept a low profile. I put on a cap and a nose mask
"We are there" The driver said when we got to the hall.
As I exited the car, I tried to keep my presence discreet, I made my way to the hall, careful not to draw attention to myself.
I sighted the bride, and I moved closer to her, everyone's eyes were on me then. As I wanted to hug her, I sighted the groom.
"Huh, Ryan?" I said as I removed my nose mask and cap
Ryan Anderson is my husband. We got married five years ago.
A year ago, Ryan's father stated that whosoever would inherit his company must have a son before the next two years. Meanwhile Ryan has two brothers, he is the eldest son.
My husband and I have tried everything we could do so I could get pregnant, but we only got a solution, which is to have a child through surrogacy.
Before I get married, I have been working to provide food for the family. I sponsored my sister to school.
I met Ryan when I was working at his father's company.
I have worked in the company for two years. The first time I met Ryan was when I went to his father's office to ask for an advance payment so I could pay my sister's school fee.
It was love at first sight. The moment I entered the office, I could not say a word, Ryan and I were only staring at each other. It was his father's voice that broke the silence in the office.
I told him what I came for, and he granted it.
I went to continue my work, and after some minutes, I saw Ryan, he came to ask for my number and I gave him.
That is where our love started. He always calls me, tells me his plans and we used to imagine how our future would be, having a son and a daughter has been our wish. A son that would look like him, as the first born, and a daughter that would look like me as the second born.
I introduced him to my parents and he introduced me to his parents. We got married legally.
It was as if my world was falling apart when I saw Ryan, as the groom.
The trip I went to was the first trip I have ever gone to in all my life. My plan was to go the following year, but my husband said he would be busy at work and he might not be coming home for a week or two weeks, so he insisted that I go on a trip for like three weeks, which I agreed to.
"Tell me this is not true, Ryan, what are you doing here?" I screamed.
"How did she get here? The security should do their work" Ryan said and that was how I was pushed out of the hall.
I stood out of the hall and tears were dropping on my cheeks.
I waited until the celebration had ended and I watched people start to take their leave, some were looking at me with concern and sympathy as they departed.
I waited till all the guests left and I entered the hall. I met my family and my husband
"Please, tell me what I have done to deserve this? Why did you all decide to betray me ...." Tears were falling down my cheeks.
"Rachel, we had waited enough, we had waited for you to get pregnant but you didn't, we can't watch your husband lose something like that, he's the rightful owner of his father's property, we can't watch his brother take it from him" my mother uttered.
"And moreover, I am pregnant" My sister, Ariana said.
"Preg... pregnant? Ariana, why did you decide to do this to me? Why? Ryan? Daddy, talk, you are not talking, why have you all decided to do this to me? What have I done to deserve this?"
"You need to accept your fate, sometimes things doesn't go as planned, your sister is pregnant and I want you to be happy with that, it is what you have been wishing to have, move on my lovely daughter Rachel"
"I do not think this is important, my wife and I need to enjoy our honeymoon without any disturbance, Rachel, meet my lawyer tomorrow and sign the divorce paper" Ryan said, he held Ariana's hand and they left the hall.
"You have to move on, life continues" My mother said and she left the hall with my father.
"My daughter in-law, Rachel, I was told that you agreed to this and that's the reason I am present here, I never knew Ryan was deceiving me, I know I caused all these by telling him to give birth first before he could inherit my property, I am sorry Rachel, but trust me, I have a better plan for you"
