Love and Debt

Andrew blinked twice. He couldn't believe it if he heard Nina right. Did she say she thinks she's pregnant? He frowned.

"Hey, say something." Nina pouted.

She had been feeling so sick for the past few days. She felt nauseous, and her head felt so light. She wasn't sure if that was due to stress or something else.

"Do we need to go to a doctor, or should I buy a test kit?" Andrew asked.

She giggled when she saw his face. He was surprised, but it didn't seem that he didn't like what he heard.

"First, tell me what you feel about it?" She asked curiosity piqued.

He cupped her face then gave her a quick kiss on the lips.

"Of course, I would be happy if it's positive, but if not, then that's also fine. Look, I want to have a child with you, but like what I said, you're still young. I'm not in a hurry. How about you?" Andrew asked her.

She sighed. "I wanted to finish my studies first. But if it's positive, then I'll be so happy about it. Graduation would be in less than two months, so that's fine."

Andrew smiled at her, then pulled her again in his arms.

"I love you, and I'm sorry for hurting you. You could do anything you want with me. I'll be your slave." He said, feeling guilty for what he did.

Nina was smirking when Andrew let her go. He was curious about what she was thinking.

"Really? Will you do everything I ask? And give me anything I want?" She asked with a mischievous smile on her face.

He nodded. He was happy and amused by his little wife's reaction. Whatever she would ask him to do, he would gladly obey her.

"I will be the obedient husband this time." He said.

Nina smiled wider. "Will you cook dinner for me?"

He chuckled. That was easy, he thought to himself.

"Sure. I'll cook dinner. What do you like to eat?" He asked.

She smirked. "I want you to cook without clothes on."

His eyes widened from what she said, but he suddenly felt excited about it.

"Okay then. What else do you want, madam?"

Nina giggled. "After dinner, I have a math lesson that I couldn't understand. So will you teach me?"

"Naked?" He asked while looking at her maliciously.

She blushed when she nodded.

"Gladly." He whispered. "But for now, we have to come out. Rev and Belinda were just outside. I want you to listen to Belinda as well. Come on. Can you walk?" He asked.

"I can. But I want you to carry me." She said while raising her hands.

He wanted to make love to her when he saw her face. She was so red when she asked him to carry her, but there were people outside who were waiting for them.

He carried her bridal style while she wrapped her arms around his neck. She pulled him closer and started kissing him on the lips. Andrew didn't mind if Rev and Belinda saw them kissing. He wanted them to know that they reconciled anyway.

He came out of the bedroom while carrying Nina. They were kissing as he carefully walked down the stairs.

"Get a room!" Rev shouted.

Nina blushed, but she didn't care if they saw it. They were already married, so it's normal for a couple to kiss.

Andrew gently put her down on the couch. Then he looked at Belinda, who was busy working on her laptop.

"So tell me what you found." He asked.

Belinda had a frown on her face. She glanced at Andrew, then at Nina.

"The messages definitely came from Northbay City. Look at this." Belinda started, then turned her laptop around to show them. 

Rev stood behind Belinda to see what she discovered. Andrew pulled Nina closer to him, so she could also understand what was happening.

"This is Northbay City Mall. This area was where the ramen shop was located. Nina, do you remember any nearby computer shop in the area?" Belinda asked.

Nina frowned. "It's in Northbay City Mall. Most of the people in that area were old, so no one would be interested in a computer shop." She answered.

"That's what I thought. But the messages came precisely in this location. Here." Belinda said while pinpointing somewhere on the map on her computer screen.

Nina was surprised to see where Belinda was pointing at. It was an old building, and no one lived there anymore.

"This was an apartment complex. It was abandoned a long time ago. My father said that one of the units became a small clinic for people with mental issues, but the neighbors were afraid, so the doctor decided to close it. After that, people who lived there left one after another. It happened just before I was born. People around the community would tell us that the place was haunted, so we never went there." Nina asked why someone would stay in an abandoned building and took pictures of Andrew and her.

Andrew took his phone and called someone.

"The abandoned building across from the ramen shop, is it still there?" He asked.

He turned the speaker on his phone so that everyone could hear the conversation.

"Yes. Cross Realty couldn't acquire that building." The man said on the other line.

Nina knew who the man on the other line was. She met him once, but she would never forget that voice. She glared at Andrew, looking at her with an apologetic look on his face.

"Hey, asshole! It's me! Do you remember me?" Nina suddenly butted in.

Andrew scratched his head but couldn't blame Nina for what she did.

"Y-Yes Mrs.Cross, I could never forget you. And I'm sorry for what I did. I will accept any punishment from you." The man sincerely answered.

Nina didn't expect to receive an apology from the man. When they met, he looked like a notorious and dangerous guy, so she wasn't hoping for an apology.

"Fine. You are forgiven. But from now on, you obey me and not my husband. I'm sure he wouldn't object.." She said in a firm tone while looking at Andrew.
