THE HEART BEAT

"I'm tired of waiting for you to give me a male child, you leave me with no choice than to marry a new wife " Lukas said to his wife after waking her up very early that morning.

"What?? A new wife in this house?? Are you sure you're alright?? You don't mean it, do you??" Annabel responded passing a cold glance at her husband as sleep suddenly disappeared from her eyes.

"I have giving you enough time to give me a male child but each time you end up giving birth to female children who can't even carry on with my legacy when I die. My parents are on my neck and I can't help it" Lukas shouted on her with his response and she broke down into tears.

"I know were you're heading to Lukas, is this a way of punishing me?? The doctor said I shouldn't get pregnant again after giving birth to five of our female children through operation. You know if I get pregnant again, I won't sur•vive it. You know this, don't you?? Answer me!!" Annabel wailed as her voice became muffled in inexpressible pain.

He didn't seem to care or he just snobbed her with so much anger .
