Love and Debt

"Are you cheating on me?" She yelled at him.

He frowned. "W-What?"

"Answer me! Are you cheating on me with that bitch?"

Nina was fuming with anger. She wanted to slap Belinda in the face and punch Andrew. She had enough of being the obedient wife.

"N-No, I-I'm not!" He stammered.

"I'm tired of this, Andrew. If you want me to suffer like this, why don't you just kill me?" She said, then burst out crying.

Andrew's eyes widened. Seeing her like that felt like he wanted to die. He rushed into her and pulled her into his arms.

"Nina, please don't cry like that. I'm not cheating on you. Please don't cry."

"Then why are you with her and not with me? I was mad because you lied to me. All I needed was an explanation and an apology, but what did you do? You threatened me. You said you loved me, but why are you hurting me like this? You promised me! You promised me at our wedding!" She said while crying her heart out.

Andrew felt Nina's words like a dagger piercing his heart. He held her tight, not wanting to let go of her.

"I don't want to apologize because I didn't regret anything. If I didn't make that decision, then maybe you are not my wife. I might be someone who still slept with different women. I'm not a good person from the beginning; I admit that. But you made me a better man. I was hurt when you asked for a divorce. I don't want to lose you, Nina. I love you. If you leave me, I would rather die. But if you can't find it in your heart to forgive me, I would just have to win your heart again. I will never let you go, Nina." 

"Then don't. Don't you dare let go of me." Nina answered.

She was mad at her husband, but she also wouldn't want their marriage to end like that. She loved him, and she could forgive what he did to her.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him back. She cried into his arms because of the mixed emotions she had.

Andrew carried her on the bed, putting her down gently.

"If I didn't come in here, will you continue being so stubborn?" She asked, pouting.

He sighed then kissed her hand. "No. I was already planning to win you over again. I prepared a meal for you when I left your room, but you were asleep when I came back, so I waited outside. I heard a sound coming from your bedroom and saw you unconscious. I was so scared. Just so you know, it was me who took care of you and not Rev. I went to the other suite because Belinda was helping me with something. I asked Rev to look after you. But I couldn't understand everything Belinda told me because my mind was full of you. So we came here to work instead."

She pouted. "I thought you didn't care."

"You know that wasn't true."

"Then, can you tell me why Rev and Belinda are here with us?" She asked.

She had wanted to ask about it, but she felt like Andrew would not tell her.

He sighed and looked her in the eyes.

"I was receiving messages from different numbers for some time now. The messages were about what I did to you and your family. The photos that Rev sent you, I also received them. I'm not sure if it was a threat. I'm also not sure what's the purpose of it. When I heard Rev also received them, I started to think that maybe someone wanted to break us apart. But it wasn't the case. I was also receiving messages and photos about our friends, so I'm not really sure what they wanted from me."

Nina was surprised. She didn't expect that Andrew was having some issues on his own.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked.

"I don't want you to worry. Belinda was a hacker, and I asked her to help me. I decided that she come with us because I hired her. I know she was someone from my past, but I had no choice. I'm not sure if the sender was someone dangerous or just a creepy stalker. I needed Belinda to find out where those messages came from. And Rev was here because he's worried about you, and he also wanted to help to find who it was." Andrew explained.

Then he took his phone and showed her a video. It was her family happily playing outside their house. She looked at Andrew, confused.

"I'm sorry for lying to you. The pictures of them being taken were true, but they are currently at our house. I took them and asked them to live there with us. Your father indeed had gambling issues. I talked to him and was sorry for everything. I took care of the loans, and he promised he'd change. I decided they should live with us so you can at least check your father to make sure he won't go anywhere again." Andrew continued.

Nina jumped into him, embracing him tightly.

"You're a jerk! Why didn't you tell me? Why did you have to make it so difficult?"

He wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her gently on the shoulders.

"I know. I'm not really good with romantic stuff. I sucked at those things." He said.

"No. No. Everything you did was enough for me to forgive you. I love you! And I missed you so much!" She said.

They were together, but she felt he had been so far away from her for the past few days. She was happy, now that she understood his actions.

"Love?" She called.

"Hmm?"

She gulped then looked at him in the eyes. Andrew frowned when Nina didn't say a word.

"What? Tell me." He asked and waited for her.

Nina sighed deeply.

"I-I think I'm pregnant."
